Director of Latino Policy Institute Addresses Need for Education Reform
The Latino population in Rhode Island has increased by more than 40 percent since 2010, according to a report by the Latino Policy Institute @ RWU.
Likewise, the demographics in Rhode Island public education have changed dramatically. According to the Latino Policy Institute (LPI) Director Anna Cano-Morales '99, "Three out of every four students in the Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls school systems are Latino. But while the demographics have completely shifted, education policies and priorities have not fully adjusted," she said.
As part of RIC's Dialogue on Diversity Lecture Series, Cano-Morales will discuss the challenges Rhode Island urban schools face in educating Latino students. Her talk, titled "Education Communities: Strength in Partnerships," will be held on Wednesday, March 19, 12:30-2 p.m. in Gaige Hall 100. This event is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island College Feinstein School of Education and Human Development and is free and open to the public.
Cano-Morales said that one of the critical issues the state must address is the low achievement scores among Latino students. "Findings from the LPI report – a report titled "Latino Student Achievement in R.I.: Addressing Equity Challenges and the ELL Crisis" – shows that the Latino-White achievement gaps in Rhode Island are among some of the worst in the country," she remarked.
"Moreover, English Language Learners (ELLs) in Rhode Island – 75 percent of whom are Latino – are among some of the lowest performing ELLs in the nation. On eighth-grade mathematics achievement, for example, ELLs in Rhode Island are dead last among ELLs across states," she said.
In her talk, Cano-Morales will discuss the LPI report's recommendations, which include a system-wide reform of ELL programming and an increase in the percentage of Latino teachers and principals serving students in the state. The report also suggests professional development initiatives built on the success of local urban schools with Latino and ELL populations.
"There are some schools in the state that are producing commendable results with urban Latino and ELL populations," said Cano-Morales. "It would be advantageous to build on the excellence that these schools are exhibiting and to share best practices."
Cano-Morales, a 1999 M.S.W. graduate of Rhode Island College and chair of the Central Falls School Board of Trustees, intends to cite, as an exemplary model, the developing partnership between Central Falls and Rhode Island College. Known as the Central Falls/Rhode Island College Innovation Lab, this partnership is designed to research, develop and pilot new models of urban education and community development for state and national replication. Cano-Morales said, "This partnership puts corrective strategies in motion real-time by not only impacting Latino students but by influencing the entire system of education."
RIC President Nancy Carriuolo said, "Rhode Island College's partnership with Central Falls Public Schools is succeeding because its approach is broad-based and inclusive. Together, we are not just educating students; we are supporting families and community."

Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
Hi - i have come up with a recipe for those who cannot eat egg pasta by still desire a lasagne!!
'Free from' lasagne sheets (made from rice not egg pasta)
Large tablespoon of spelt flour
1/4 carton of large rice milk
1/2 butternut squash
1/2 large packet strong cheddar cheese
parmesan to taste
1 pack of quality lean mince beef
clove garlic
herbs: rosemary, mint, fennel tops,bay leaf, thyme
1/2 sweet white onion
1 carrot (large) & 2 courgettes
black pepper
sea salt (1 large pinch)
jar of Jamies tomato sauce with garlic and chilli
light olive oil
1 vegetable stock cube (low salt)
1/2 tube tomato puree
Fry off the chopped onion until golden brown over a low heat.Then reserve. Fry off the beef until browned - do not rush this as browning the meat adds flavour to the dish. Then add the onion back in,add the chopped herbs(less is more, beware of adding too much of the strong flavoured ones, do not chop the bay leaf!!Add carrot 7 courgettes chopped small,salt,pepper,minced garlic, jar of tomato sauce and tomato puree.
Make a cheese sauce using the normal method, but use the spelt flour and rice milk rather than normal flour and milk. Add cheddar when sauce thickening (will not be as thick as a normal sauce). Slice squash thinly, add to a wok with vege stock and cook until partly soft.
Assemble dish. Wipe lasagne dish with garlic, layer rice lasagne sheets alternatively with the meat sauce and cheese sauce, go steady on the cheese sauce as you will need some for the top layer. You can also sprinkle layers of parmesan in bewtween the layers. If you love chilli, add some chopped scotch bonnet as you layer.I also layer the squash inbetween layers. Finish the top layer with the cheese sauce, place squash pieces on top also, sprinkle with more parmesan and arrange small tomatoes on the vine on top.
Let this stand for 20 mins to soak up the juices.
Cook for 1hour on gas mark 6 . This will provide 8 portions if serving with a mixed salad, try a simple tossed salad of baby cos, chopped mint leaves and juicy peach quarters.
The main dish can be re-warmed the next day , cover with foil and heat for about 45 mins on gas mark 5 - cover with foil firt though

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
Spelt flour is not wheat free . Doves Farm do make wheat and gluten free flours which could be used .
Any ready made sauce from a jar or packet must be checked as they are not all wheat free.
Not all stock cubes are wheat free so they must be checked first .
I have coeliac disease so cannot eat wheat , please when giving recipes do check that the products you are recommending are definitely wheat free.

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
thanks for the reply - please amend to just use the meat sauce on its own and disregard this recipe as originally intended to make sure ok, omit stock cube/cheese sauce entirely, then no need to use flour/rice milk/stock cube. Using just the beef and veges then to just make a basic meat sauce. sorry for any confusion

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
I just bought The Hairy Dieters' Cookbook, and it has a recipe for a lasagne using leek instead of pasta - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/skinn … agne_87277
It's a bit mad, but when I saw this thread I just thought I'd point it out. If the leek trick works it would be quite good for gluten-free diets, as gluten-free pasta can be expensive, whereas one leek costs pennies and will yield a lot of fake pasta sheets. Lasagne's meant to be a cheap dish, after all.
I should add that I haven't tried it myself. And note that the recipe is NOT wheat free, so you'd need to adapt it. It's just the leeks-for-pasta idea that I think has potential.

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
I'd heard about the leek lasagna and want to try it, sounds great! But, seriously you guys make me envious because leeks are so expensive here. We usually pay $2.50 - $3. for one leek. A box of gluten-free rice lasagna sheets is about the same price or less. I don't mind paying an extra dollar or so for gluten-free pasta because it is usually whole grain and organic. The products are very high quality and high in nutrition.

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
So what's cheap where you are, veg-wise?

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
Cabbage, kale, mustard and collard greens . . . are relatively cheap, but not something I'd put in lasagna.
Whenever I have tried something like using spaghetti squash instead of pasta, it ruins the dish for me. I like squash, but not in this way very much.

Re: Wheat Free Lasagne Recipe
Gluten and wheat free lasagne isn't particularly expensive and readily available in UK supermarkets . As a coeliac I don't want to replace pasta with vegetables and indeed there is no need to .
I like the Hairy Bikers and I have their diet book, the leeks suggestion is a way to cut calories but I won't be trying it , doesn't appeal to me at all .

I got my first pair of skis for my second birthday, but since it was April, I spent the next six months sliding on the living room carpet, waiting for snow. By the time it came, the kick and glide of Nordic skiing had become another gait for me, as natural as walking or running. I never had to think about it. I just skied.
Fifteen years later, icy snow screeches under my skis as I try to slow down. Turning around I see Marta, my 16-year-old Polish friend skidding down the hill. Marta and I are classmates at an international high school in Norway committed to having a significant number of students who are physically disabled and from refugee camps and SOS Children's Villages.
By any measure the skiing conditions are rough: It had rained the day before and frozen overnight. Marta isn't entirely comfortable on her skis yet – it is only her third time skiing. "Prawo, PRAWO!" I call to her in Polish, signaling her to move to the right. She giggles a little at my mispronunciation, slips and then regains her focus. The conditions and her inexperience are daunting enough, but there is another thing: Marta can't see her skis or the snow under her feet.
Marta is not completely blind. If I ski in front of her, she can just make out the contrast between my black parka and tights and the white snow. She can't see when a hill goes up or down – to her it is all part of the sea of white. She wasn't born blind, but her eyesight has progressively deteriorated and will, one day, be gone entirely. Amazingly though, when we ski, instead of shying away from the hills or corners she can't see, she strides confidently along just behind me. It was unnerving at first, because I'd never experienced so much trust or felt so much responsibility.
Until now, skiing was primarily a solo activity for me. I loved racing on a team, but the real magic of skiing happened when I was alone, deep in the woods, pushing myself up a mountain. I had never tried to talk about how to ski; it was all muscle memory for me. But before I could teach Marta how to kick and glide, negotiate turns and navigate down hills, I needed to describe it all to her. Learning to talk about skiing turned out to be the hardest part of what we were aiming to do: getting Marta ready for Ridderrennet, the world's largest ski festival for disabled athletes.
Each year, the Ridderrennet festival is held in the iconic Norwegian ski town of Beitostølen, nestled high in the mountains and dotted by Norwegian hytter (small wooden ski cabins) and giant statues of trolls. During the week of Ridderrennet, hundreds of athletes – vision and mobility impaired – as well as hundreds of guides, descend for a week of training, picnics, dancing and racing. Marta was set to compete in three races: the giant slalom, biathlon and a five-kilometer ski race. Each of these races was part of what is called, in English, "The Knight's Race." We had only a few months to prepare. We needed them.
We skied once a week, sometimes in the mountains above our school, sometimes in powder and sometimes in tracks. From the start, Marta had a joyful toughness that made her fearless, enthusiastic and able to trust her body as she propelled it through space. And from the start, without meaning to, I'd hold my breath each time she skied down a steep hill. Marta never paused. "What does it look like ahead?" she would ask, and then ski off before I had time to answer. I'd been training to trust my legs and my body on snow for years, but for her it came in an instant.
The day of the five-kilometer race at Ridderrennet was beautiful spring skiing, warm and sunny. After Marta's start, I skied down the trail to cheer on other friends, thinking it would take her at least 40 minutes to complete the course, given her practice race times. Less than half an hour later, I saw a young skier charging toward the finish line, blue hat bobbing, a hundred meters ahead of her sighted guide. Marta confidently pushed herself toward the cheering crowd at the finish line. She was hitting her stride perfectly and then suddenly, feeling that the tracks were flat, she switched instinctively to a seamless double pole – something I'd never taught her. I looked at my watch: 27 minutes.
I was never a terrifically fast racer, but I know what it feels like to cross the finish line on a good day, thrusting your boot across millimeters ahead of the skier behind you and feeling triumphant, proud, exhilarated and exhausted. As Marta charged to the finish line – sweating, beaming and with her eyes tightly shut – my heart was pounding. It was her best race ever.
Mine, too.

I recently bought a used Master Replicas Stunt Helmet. I wanted to rework the entire helmet to be a bit more screen accurate as well as incorporate a better speaker and fan system. I know that everyone does TK's, but they are fun and this is my first attempt at doing trying to make one quite like this. Please feel free to comment and/or criticize. Thanks.
I almost forgot to take a picture before I started stripping the old paint. This is the MR CE completely taken apart in every way possible.
Attachment 46054
I wanted to take the Hasbro clone trooper mic system, (just the mic & speaker really since they are pretty good) and build it into the MR Hermet. Here is the Hasbro helmet after I pillaged the parts.
Attachment 46056
My kids are going to be mad!
I cut grooves where the cheek vents are. I am going to do this on both sides. My thought is to have a speaker on one cheek and a fan on the other. I ordered some more decals for the MR Helmet from TK-4510's site. I plan to reapply the decals and cut slits in them in order to hide any imperfections in my grooves. I used another set of those decals as my template to know where to cut the grooves.
Attachment 46057
The com system in the Hasbro Clone was salvaged only for the mic & speaker. I am going to replace the board with a Hyperdyne Labs Pro Trooper board (below)
Attachment 46058
Please feel free to make suggestions as well. This isn't a 501st purist project and it's more for fun than anything. I also have a set of fiberglass TK armor I'm thinking of tricking out to be a clone-stormtrooper hybrid, (somehow) so your input is welcome. Thanks for looking!

We had a great time at Barbara's place. The apartment was clean and fully equiped. Barbara is also very helpfull. She's at your service when ever you need her. The connection to Manhattan is good. The short walk to the path train takes 10-15 minutes, and from Journal Square to 33rd street aprox. 20 min.
We highly recommend this apartment!
We were disappointed by the condition of the apartment when we arrived. The cleanliness was not up to our level of acceptability. Being close to the subway is an advantage. Easy to get to New York. Be aware that if you go by car, the street parking require a residence permit. Otherwise, you can only park for two hours. Barbara told us that no control was done and we could leave the car in the street all day. That's what we did without any problem but it's still a small risk of getting a ticket.
Barbara and her partner are vey nice and friendly.
The apartment really looks like as it is shown in the pictures.
The connection to NYC is really good. 10 minutes to the pathstation and about 10 minutes to Manhatten.
If i would be in New York a second time i would choose this flat again.
Kind Regards
What an amazing place to stay visiting New York !
We stayed 7 nights and everything was perfect.
We Highly recommend, Barbara was very nice and helpful.
It's also very easy to reach New York from here !
Barbara made every effort to make our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. And we would like to thank her for that. Detailed notes and information about local area were helpful. Everything was extremely clean and tidy and we greatly appreciate it. The apartment is spacious, lovely and it was a pleasure to live in it. We would not hesitate to book it again. Thank you!
The Apt is just Great for visiting New York,it is very big and everything needed is there. The owners are very friendly and help whenever they can! Public transportation is near and José and Barbara describe everything (supermarket,PATH,..) perfectly.we already recommended this Apt to our Friends and family and if we will come back to New York we surely will stay here again!
Nice apartment, very conveniently located. The kitchen is fully equipped, so we actually cooked several meals. PATH takes you in 12 minutes to WTC.
Very nice appartment! Spacious, good equipped kitchen and clear communication with the host. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stay 10 day in Barbara´s flat! It was very nice and comfortable. We really enjoyed our trip to jersey city and new york city. The location was perfect, because we were fast in New York...and we could start with sightseeing :-). We´re honestly recommend this flat. And Barbara and José where also very friendly und helpful.

In general a file manager is a program that gives some kind of interface to the file system and that show in a graphical or textual way the files and directory, usually a file manager allow to do some standard operations such as delete, rename copy/paste and other typical operations that you can do on files.
Twin-panel file managers have obligatory connected panels where action in one panel results in a reaction in the second. So for example you could move a file from the first to the second panel, or copy it. In this roundup I'll show you some of the most used Twin-panel file manager available on Linux, sometimes they are also called Orthodox file managers or command-based file managers and in general they have three windows (two panels and one command line window).
Note: Konqueror supports multiple panels divided horizontally, vertically or both, but these panels do not act as twin panels by default (the user has to mark the panels he wants to act as twin-panels), so I'll not put it in this article.

Lindsay Graham to La Raza: "We're gonna tell the bigots to shut up."
posted at 12:23 pm on May 4, 2007 by Bryan
Sen. Lindsay Graham, it's fair to say, is a squish in immigration law enforcement. He supports "comprehensive immigration reform," which is code for amnesty. Graham received an award last March from La Raza (English: The Race–and they're not talking track & field), and among the other open borders bromides had this to say:
You can watch the whole speech here, and I encourage you to do so. Graham comes off as a sincere, well-meaning but misguided fellow until the personal story professing such surprise that a man named Garza could be a great American–soft bigotry of low expectations, anyone?–and that late line about "bigots."
Who is he talking about?
Or them.
Or them.
He's surely not talking about the people right in front of him, who belong to a group called "The Race" and who say things like this.
I get it. He must be talking about them. And him. And all of us who support border enforcement.
Which is outrageous, of course.
(thanks to MR)

.NET 3.0 has been made available to all the developers recently. With it comes a set of new set of API, which are simply there to unleash the .NET developer's potential to create the next wave of powerful applications. These API, formerly called WinFX, take the form of four pillars – WCF, WF, WPF and WCS. In this post of mine, I would like to give a perspective on the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
Most typically, one starts off an introduction to WCF by explaining the four tenets of SOA, and how WCF embraces them from the ground-up. While this is very reasonable, I would like to think about WCF from a slightly different perspective which, of course, would eventually flow into confluence of the SOA tenets. To get a great insight into these tenets, I would urge you to look into this paper by the venerable Don Box.
WCF, in a nutshell, is all about facilitating message exchanges between endpoints. Note that 'message' and 'endpoint' are underlined. Well, these are but, what WCF is all about. These are concepts through which SOA is realized. Let me give you my understanding on these concepts:
If any entity needs to communicate with the world, it does so with Endpoints. Endpoint comprises of three elements (commonly called as ABC):
Address (Where) – Where can I find the service, the URI?
Binding (How) – How can I communicate with the service? What are security requirements, encoding requirements etc.?
Contract (What) – What is the structure of the messages that I need to communicate with the endpoint? What are the message exchange patterns (like Request/Reply, OneWay etc)
A WCF service would therefore, have at least one endpoint; it could have multiple based on different combinations of bindings, contracts or endpoint addresses.
If you really look at it, the concepts embodied by WCF aren't new. They were pretty much present in ASMX. What lacked was that these concepts/abstractions were not explicitly codified in the ASMX (ASP.NET) framework. ASMX just seemed to be a quick way to get .NET classes to talk SOAP. So, caught in a world of classes and attributes, developers lost sight of underlying concepts that manifested as wsdl:portType, wsdl:port, wsdl:message and wsdl:binding.
WCF, on the other hand makes these concepts explicit, as seen in the ServiceEndPoint, Binding, ContractDescription, and EndPointAddress classes in the System.ServiceModel namespace. It is this object model that makes WCF very powerful. The number of out-of-the-box bindings available, and the existence of several extensibility points speak of the raw power of the WCF programming model. Also, this architecture is what makes unification of several programming models like MSMQ, COM+, WSE etc. possible.
"Message", which can simply be thought of as the data/document/information exchanged between endpoints, is a first class citizen in the WCF programming model. Unlike its predecessor, where messages meant no more than an XML document (or stream) representing the SOAP envelope, WCF provides much better representation and finer control over messages. Messages are represented by the Message abstract class in the System.ServiceModel.Channels namespace.
Having seen how endpoints and messages are dealt with in WCF, it can be safely asserted that we are now consciously moving from the procedure call paradigm to a message exchange paradigm.
To find out more about WCF architecture, and the core classes that make up WCF, refer to this excellent paper by Yasser Shohoud.
As a part of the community launch of Windows Vista and Office 2007 in the B.NET User Group, we, a group of MVPs and other active community members authored a small e-book, comprising of articles on Vista, .NET 3.0 and Office 2007. Based on this post of mine, I wrote an article on what I thought the underpinnings concepts of WCF were. You could download the PDF of the e-book here.

I've never met a man who could tell me, babyface-to-face, that he truly enjoyed shaving. Most of the guys I know sport some amount of fur on their face, and the bulk of them don't wear beards because they look particularly good. They do it to avoid scraping a cold, sharp piece of metal across their cheeks every morning.
Yes, I've tried adding blade after blade to my disposable cartridge model, and I risked cutting my throat with a straight razor ritual, but however I cut it (eh?), shaving is no fun for me. It's a tedious and usually painful process.
So a few years ago, I stopped. I didn't start growing a beard, though. I took the easy way out and started running a beard trimmer over my face in the mornings. And I've never looked back. Occasionally I'll whip out my safety razor for a clean shave, but I'm lucky enough to work a job where stubble is totally acceptable.
Up until a couple months ago, I used an ancient Norelco. It was a very basic model, and did its job just fine, but there was one major problem. Continue Reading "Get a Cleaner Shave With the Norelco Vacuum Stubble and Beard Trimmer Pro" »

greenWAVE is made of simple flat packed prefabricated reinforced concrete. It sits under its own weight on the seafloor without the need for seabed preparation, in approximately 10-15m of water.
There are no moving parts under water, with the top of the device housing the airWAVE turbine and electrical control systems.
Each greenWAVE device is initially sealed, resulting in a buoyant structure. It is floated to its deployment site, where the buoyant seal is removed and the device is lowered to its final resting position. The method of fixing the device to the bottom of the ocean will vary in accordance to the geotechnical nature of the seabed at each location.
Electrical Output
The electrical output of a greenWAVE device will depend on the local wave climate. In a very good climate, a single greenWAVE device would be rated at 1MW or more.
The unit can be dedicated to the production of electricity, desalinated seawater, or both. It can also be incorporated into a sea wall or breakwater structure, which will further reduce the cost of the unit.

I was going to order some basswood sections/supers for comb honey but before I do maybe someone could answer a question or two.
When the sections are full of comb honey is it better to cut out the individual combs, from the basswood sections, wrap them in clear cellophane and place each into a window carton? Or is it better to leave the combs attached to the basswood sections then wrap the combs/basswood sections with clear cellophane and place each in a window carton?
I am not sure which is the better way to do 'it'.

Movie Review: Starbuck

Starbuck is a French-Canadian crowd-pleaser about a sperm donor in the whose 142 of the astonishing 533 kids he fathered, wants to meet him.

Director: Ken Scott
Rating: R
Stars: Patrick Huard, Julie LeBreton, Antoine Bertrand
Starbuck is a French-Canadian crowd-pleaser starring Patrick Huard as a charming, 40-ish meat delivery man and perpetual screwup whose past as a sperm donor in the 1980s catches up with him when 142 of the astonishing 533 kids he fathered file a class action suit to learn the identity of their incredibly fertile donor, code name "Starbuck."
Ken Scott directed the good-natured, plot hole–ridden movie from a funny, big-hearted script he cowrote with Martin Petit. We follow the commitment-phobic hero, who is also about to become a dad with his implausibly long suffering cop girlfriend (Julie LeBreton), as he becomes secretly and not-so-secretly involved in the lives of his progeny, including a lifeguard, an emo misfit, a heroin addict, an aspiring actor, a street busker and a kid institutionalized with cerebral palsy. Meanwhile, his best friend, a lawyer and permanently sleep deprived dad of four (a very funny Antoine Bertrand), keeps warning him never to marry or reproduce again, while being eager to take on his legal battles.
The movie's complications and more serious implications are completely smoothed over. Don't any of these 20-somethings, "conceived in a little cup" as the dialogue says, despise their "father," even when he's playing guardian angel? Aren't any of them creeped out by his stalking them in his van or showing up in their apartments? Where are their parents and what do they think of all this group adoration of a messed-up guy? While you're watching the movie, some, but not all, of these questions (and many, many more) get steamrolled by Huard's outsized galoot charm and comic chops in the lead role. His transition from selfish to selfless family man may be predictable, but the actor makes it pretty damn irresistible. We'll see whether Vince Vaughn can possibly deliver the goods—let alone gloss over the queasier stuff—so well in the Hollywood remake due in October, The Delivery Man.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Visa Inc. and Nike Inc. will be added to the Dow Jones industrial average, replacing Bank of America Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Alcoa Inc. in the biggest reshuffling since April 2004.
The changes will push the number of financial-related companies in the 30-member gauge to five and boost their influence even more, as the fifth-biggest U.S. bank by assets and the largest payment network join JPMorgan Chase & Co., Travelers Cos. and American Express Co. Bank of America is being kicked out even after gaining 109 percent in 2012, the Dow's largest gain. The changes will take effect after the close of trading on Sept. 20.
Stocks are chosen for the average by a committee that includes editors of the Wall Street Journal, unlike most indexes maintained by S&P Dow Jones that are picked through an objective, rules-based process. While changes in membership are unusual, they often involve more than one company at a time, according to Dow's guidelines.
"The Dow is going to look and act very differently going forward," Dan Greenhaus, a strategist at BTIG LLC, said in a note to clients. Since the Dow average weights stocks by share price "Visa would become the second most important stock in the index and Goldman Sachs the third most important," he said.
Lowest Price
S&P Dow Jones Indices, which administers the average, is ejecting the three members with the lowest price. Unlike the S&P 500, which apportions members according to market value, the Dow average is price weighted, meaning influence is tied to the level of individual shares. The methodology has been a barrier to inclusion of stocks such as Apple Inc. and Google Inc., which trade above $500 and would dominate the measure.
Goldman Sachs climbed 3.1 percent to $164.47 as of 9:53 a.m. in New York. Nike jumped 1.7 percent to $66.50 and Visa increased 2.7 percent to $183.30. Hewlett-Packard lost 1.3 percent to $22.07 and Alcoa slipped 0.9 percent to $8.01. Bank of America added 0.6 percent to $14.56.
"We are pleased to join this historic and significant market benchmark," Goldman Sachs spokesman Michael DuVally said in an e-mailed statement.
The Dow average was devised in 1896 by Charles H. Dow, co- founder of Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co. It originally included General Electric Co., American Tobacco and 10 other companies before expanding to 20 companies in 1916 and 30 in 1928.
UnitedHealth, Kraft
The average was last reshuffled in September, when UnitedHealth Group Inc. replaced Kraft Foods Inc., which spun off its North American grocery business.
Alcoa, the largest American aluminum producer, is being removed after plunging more than 80 percent since its 2007 high and seeing its debt-rating cut to speculative grade this year -- making it the second junk-rated Dow Jones Industrial Average company in at least three decades. Trading around $8, it has the smallest influence on the average.
Monica Orbe, a spokeswoman for Alcoa, was not immediately available to comment.
Hewlett-Packard, which took an $8.8 billion writedown related to its acquisition of Autonomy Corp. in November 2012, has declined for three straight years, and at about $22 is the average's third-smallest stock. Its trailing 12-month revenue plummeted the most in more than a decade last fiscal quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Howard Clabo, a Hewlett-Packard spokesman, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
AIG, Pfizer
Even with its 2012 gain and a 25 percent advance this year, Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. lender, remains more than 70 percent below its high of $54.90 reached in November 2006. Two people with direct knowledge of its plans said yesterday the company will eliminate about 2,100 jobs and shutter 16 mortgage offices as rising interest rates weaken loan demand.
In 2004, American International Group Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and Pfizer Inc. were added to the Dow average, reflecting the growing importance of finance and health care to the U.S. economy and stock market. Eastman Kodak Co., International Paper Co. and AT&T Corp., the average's three smallest companies by market value, were removed.

|Elizabeth Berkley
What the heck happened to Elizabeth Berkley's ass? Remember how nice and tight and perfect it was in Showgirls? Well, I guess bad reviews and a struggling career will do that for you. It's such a shame since she had one of the hottest bodies in showbiz around. Despite her failed movie life post-Showgirls, she's still doing her best to re-enter the A-list. So she's taking the "serious actress" route by appearing on Broadway in several plays, and getting a few good reviews while she's at it. So I guess there's hope for Liz yet. Just, work on getting that ass back, okay?

Story highlights
- Two of Lonely Planet's best-value cities are in Oregon and Sweden
- Great value doesn't mean everything is cheap in these spots, editor says
- The countries of Namibia and Georgia also make the list
With airfares likely to increase through the new year, travelers are looking to get the biggest bang for their buck.
Lonely Planet's "Best value destinations" for 2013, part of its "Best in Travel" annual series, may offer just the ticket.
"Destinations on our 'best value' list are for those who want to make the most out of their dollar when traveling," said Andy Murdock, Lonely Planet's U.S. Digital Editor, via e-mail. "While the choices are not the cheapest destinations on the planet in every case, they're great options for travelers who want to visit somewhere new and interesting without draining their bank account."
Deals are to be found in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Gothenburg, Sweden; Cambodia; Bolivia; Spain; Slovenia; Nepal; Portland, Oregon; Georgia (the former Soviet republic, not the U.S. state); and Namibia.
A travel spot's "best value" ranking doesn't mean everything is cheap in these locations.
Take Portland: "There are cheaper places in the world, but for U.S. cities it would be hard to find a place where you can get more for your money," said Murdock. "Cheap food ... lots of free experiences, over 40 local craft breweries with competition keeping pint prices down, great hiking options without even leaving town, and easy access to the stunning Columbia River gorge."
And Sweden is not known for its affordability. "Scandinavia is never cheap, but Gothenburg is a relative bargain, with great budget accommodation and public transport," he said. "It is still expensive when compared to global standards, but for travelers who want to visit Scandinavia, Gothenburg offers great value."
Outside of the best value list, Lonely Planet's rankings of the top cities, regions and countries put San Francisco on top in the city rankings; Corsica, France in the region rankings; and Sri Lanka was named the #1 country to visit.
Where are you hoping to travel on a budget in 2013? Where have you found great value in the past? Please share in the comments below.

By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media, 10-15-12
Ocala, FL
Bubba Raceway Park has just 5 weeks of racing left and this one will showcase our Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Open-Wheel Modifieds as well as the Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks.
In the Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds it seems as if Jeff Mathews has lost his reign but he has not quit yet as he took max points over Kyle Bronson last time out. Bronson has a massive lead and Mathews will have to win out to have a chance. Dalton Lanich isn't in much better position but he can set up a strong 2013 with a few wins at the end of the season in his Chris Williams machine. Rich Pratt and Garret Stewart have contended for wins in 2012 but haven't quite broken into Coors Light Winner's Circle yet; their time will come and when it does it'll get quite exciting for all.
JO Nobles and David Showers have separated themselves from the competition in the Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models but Nobles looks to have the title wrapped up soon. Forrest Gough has had an interesting season and looks to complete it with a trip to Coors Light Winner's Circle while he tries to hold off young Christian and Caleb McGillivray who are also seeking their first wins of 2012. Others such as Kevin Mills and David Showers, Jr. have broken into Victory Lane but 2012 has certainly been all about the #18.
As the season winds down for our Hobby Stocks there are just 3 races, including this week, left and Rodney Wright has a bit of work to do. He sits 9 points down on Trevor Gamble but the good news for Wright is that a heat is worth 3 and a feature 6 so it's far from over! However, the good new for Gamble is that the math means he controls the fight at this point. This fight has been close all year and they've left drivers like Mike Stalnaker and Mark Maresca, coming off of a career drive, in the dust. It's an all-out fight and the dust won't settle before a champion is decided.
Real drama is in the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks as Shane Nichols continues to steal points from the main contenders Jonathan Appleby and Brian Mullins. Nichols was able to tie Appleby for second-most wins in 2012 (Chad Scranton has 7 to their 6 each) while Mullins seems to finish 2nd every week. Jason Gamble, James Sullivan, III, John Thorpe, and Brandon Elwood all have speed but Thorpe has said he is done for 2012 and Gamble has missed a few races recently. The fight for 3rd is on but the title goes to the man who never quits!
Buddy Pope, Travis Staats, and Reid Christensen are at the top of the fight in the Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks and they all have a story on their way up. Pope set out last year to take it home but had some troubles which set him back. He never gave up and last year's efforts have him favored for the 2012 title. Staats answered the call and recently became Pope's main rival with some big wins but the deficit may have be too much to overcome. Christensen has had some troubles but his rookie campaign has exceeded expectations. Either way, it's an all out fight between 3 deserving racers.
Bubba's Pit Stop opens at 1 while stands open at 5. Pit gates open at 4. Racing is scheduled for 7 and have no fear- Bubba's Pit Stop has all of the racing on from NASCAR to Formula 1 so you don't have to miss a thing!

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Zebras are a popular subject within art having been portrayed for over thousands of years. Jahangir, the fourth Mughal emperor commissioned a painting in the 17th century. When depicted in movies and cartoons, these black-and-white striped animals are most often miscellaneous characters, but have had some starring roles in animated films Madagascar and Racing Stripes.

New fee for non-residents to exercise at Slater Center
BRISTOL, Tenn. - If you don't live in city limits, you'll soon have to pay to exercise at the Slater Center.
Non-residents of Bristol, Tennessee will be paying an annual fee of $120 to use the facility. That fee will go into effect starting January 1, 2014.
Officials tell us this money will help maintain the quality of equipment at the Slater Center as the number of members continues to increase. "The cost of everything is going up, our membership numbers are going up. Last year we registered over 3,000 people and about one-third of those are actually city residents," said Terry Napier, Director of Parks and Recreation in Bristol, Tennessee.
You might have noticed new computers at the Slater Center; that's because the facility is also updating how people log in for classes.
Officials tell us the computerized system will save time and money.

BLUF: Those of you that have over wintered nucs, What is the minimum number of frames of bees that you would attempt it with? Also minimum frames of stores? If MP or MB answer I know what size frames they are talking about all others please state size.
I am still considering combining some of my nucs and would like some input on how small might make it thru a winter. We supposed to have some mid sixties next week to get it done but I doubt I will see seventy again until spring so I need to get it done.

Reporting incidents on the PAPD website
Original post made by ResidentOfPaloAlto, Midtown, on Nov 17, 2007
Someone vandalized certain things in our front yard - probably sometime after 8:00pm last night. This is not the first time this has happened. I called the PAPD non-emergency number and they told me to report it using the website. He said it was "malicious mischief".
I tried to find a form for "malicious mischief" - didn't get it; got the vandalism form.. it is so complicated ! They needed victim's information - it is "Required" - I ended up putting "N/A". It just went on and on - all irrelavant information. At the end of the form, I finally found a text area where I could type in the details and the damage done (note, this was not in the property vandalism area)
In the end, I hit submit - apparently I had forgotten to put in my age (but I had my birthdate in there .. so wonder why they could not figure the age from it ! ). It showed me the "Errors" and told me to go "Back" .. all the info that I had painstakingly entered in the form had disappeared ! They did not save anything - sent me back to the original blank form and expected me to type it again.
Needless to say, I abandoned the process right there and then. I will get to it sometime later today - but I am just so upset at the waste of efforts ( needless to say that they have made such kind of reporting so difficult )

That said, Hitlerian forms that demand info you may not have or that's irrelevant are bad user interface design.

Bad interface design in the new web site?
The web site is a disaster. An insult to the intelligence. A mish mash. I don't even try to use it anymore. I can't take the circular clicking that often ends up nowhere.
It was designed by people who don't use city web sites, that's what I think. It is just unbelievable how silly it is to have a "Know Zone." Maybe they thought we are all in the first grade and only the smart kids want to know things. There is no sense to its organization.
But then, ask me what I really think.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

We need to wrap up this cube-shaped present, remembering that we
can have no overlaps. What shapes can you find to use?
Take $36$ cubes.
How many different blocks can you make? For example $6$ by $6$

Project completed March 2015
Why is WSDOT
building new pontoons?
The Pontoon Construction Project broke ground in February 2011 at a 55-acre site in Aberdeen. WSDOT and contractor Kiewit-General (K-G) built a casting basin facility featuring a concrete batch plant, on-site water treatment, and a 4-acre casting basin, in order to stage construction of 33 pontoons.The largest pontoons built in Aberdeen were the 21 longitudinal pontoons, later joined together end-to-end on Lake Washington to form the backbone of the new floating bridge. The largest pontoons ever built in Washington, these pontoons are 360 feet long, 75 feet wide, nearly 30 feet tall, and weigh 11,000 tons.The 33 pontoons were built in six cycles. Once complete, each batch of pontoons was floated out of the casting basin, inspected, and then towed to Lake Washington. The final three pontoons that constituted the sixth and final pontoon cycle were floated out of the casting basin on March 9, 2015. They were towed to Lake Washington by tugboat and arrived on April 9, 2015.
The End Result
The new SR 520 floating bridge is supported by 77 concrete pontoons that form the floating foundation of the new bridge. Of these, 33 were built in Aberdeen, Wash., (the other 44 were built in Tacoma, Wash., as part of a separate contract). Bridge construction progress is tracked on the pontoon tracking and bridge assembly page.
Project Benefits
The pontoons for the new SR 520 floating bridge improve the bridge's safety and reliability. The new pontoons support a wider, six-lane roadway with dedicated transit/HOV lanes, wider and safer shoulders, and a 14-foot-wide bicycle/pedestrian path. The new bridge is designed to withstand windstorms of up to 89 mph and be forward-compatible to accommodate the future addition of light rail to the new floating bridge.The project also supported local job creation for construction, supplies, and supporting services in and around Aberdeen.
What is the project timeline?
Financial Information
The project was funded through the following sources:
With the passage of ESHB 2211 in the 2009 legislative session, WSDOT has been authorized to collect tolls on the SR 520 floating bridge since 2011. This project had a construction change order of more than $500,000. View all change orders.Visit the SR 520 Budget and Performance page for additional information.
How can I get more information?

text: Got this kit as part of lot earlier this year and I finally built it up last week. Please post comments or feedback. I took some artistic freedom on this one and built it up with just a simple reference picture I googled. Didn't get instructions with this one. Also modified the kit a little to ease the buildup and durability, the aluminum on the blades is heavy and the mounting for the struts was inadequate, so i used some screws instead.

The apartment is located in the famous district Schöneberg between U stations Wittenbergplatz and Nollendorfplatz. In the roaring 1920s, Schöneberg was the neighbourhood of artists and musicians of Berlin. The neighbourhood around Nollendorfplatz in particular was known for elaborate parties and a casual lifestyle. To this day, modern clubs like Goya build on the atmosphere of that time.
Winterfeldplatz, which hosts the city's largest food market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, lies directly to the south. Around the square and on nearby side streets, there are plenty of cafes and bars.
Another Place of interest is Schöneberg town hall. After the division of Germany, it was the political centre of West Berlin. This is where Kennedy uttered the famous words, 'ich bin ein Berliner'. To the south of the town hall, the long Rudolf-Wilde park is a good option for a leisurely stroll.
Schöneberg has a good connection to the neighbouring districts. The U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U3, U4 and U7 go through the district as well as the S-Bahn lines S1 und S41 / S42 (the circle line).
100 meter to bus to Bahnhof Zoo and Alexanderplatz and nearest U stations.
FREE PARKING AVAILABLE in the streets around the apartment and it is generally not difficult to find a parking lot (not rarely right in front of the door, mostly within a 100-200 m radius).

Reviews of this property
My stay was great, a very nice place a what a nice hosts! The room was clean en cosy and the balcony great. No noise at night. My stay was very pleasant. The tsairs are good "gym". Its very central in Berlin, nearby several U-bahn stations, rental bike and nice market.
The apartment is in a very good location, very close to the metro station. Everything was reflecting the description. The room was very clean as all the rest of the apartment. We had also a private bathroom and the terrace (really great to relax with a drink after a long day visiting the city). Unfortunately we couldn't meet Sven in person but he was making sure that everything was ok sending emails and texts. We met his tenant John. He was very helpful and kind all the time, always ready to give us some advices and tips about the city. Included, also, a really rich breakfast. I think it's the perfect place where to stay for your holidays if you want feel like home. I recommend it to everyone!!!
This is an absolutely fabulous apartment to stay in, John, the host, is absolutely lovely, and will provide you with any information you require. I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment for a short stay in Berlin.
Thank you for making my stay easy and enjoyable.

Haven't had a chance to run the final details, but to be honest I still can't get over what transpired on Sunday. I am fairly certain I saw a Stat that Stricker averaged just under 66 a round at the John Deere over 20 something rounds, which included 5.75 birdies per 18 holes. And he goes out and shoots a +1 73, while making only 2 birdies.... To lose his tournament play by 1 (after going into the round up 5!). That one really hurt, and it took what looked like a +3.75u week, to a small -.25u loss.
I really hope this is what rock bottom looks like on Sundays. I simply can't believe how horribly wrong it has gone this year during the final rounds of tournaments.
I will pop back in here hopefully tonight to give the detailed breakdown once I am back at my home computer... But seeing as its a Major Week I am going to post the Open Championship thread now with just my Outright picks listed - in hopes to get the conversation started over there. I have been posting the plays as I make them on Twitter as well. But most of the odds are still in the ballpark so you all haven't missed much.
See Yas over there.

Having run out of legs at the back-end of 2011, Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk claims this season's mid-year malaise may just prove the catalyst for NRL premiership glory.
The Storm's five-game losing streak tested the patience and belief of all at the club.
Only one other team has won a premiership after losing five successive matches during a season - the 2006 Brisbane Broncos.
Yet Melbourne now go into their fifth grand final in seven seasons with their form on an upward curve, and believing they are fresher physically and mentally than last year.
"We took two steps backwards to move forward, and I'm comfortable with the position we're at," star halfback Cronk said on Monday.
"There was a few scratching of heads at that point in time.
"But as a unit we were able to dissect what we were doing badly and come out of it."
And their timing could not have been better, with their recovery instigating a five-match winning run which the Storm took into the finals.
They weren't so lucky last year, when the minor premiers faded badly in a preliminary final loss to the Warriors.
"Last year we ran out of legs by the end, and we got steamrolled by the Warriors," skipper Cameron Smith said.
"We knew it was going to be important to be right in the back half of the season.
"We're in a lot better shape than we were last year."
Smith denied this year's slump - which coincided with the end of their busy State of Origin period - was due to any drop-off in workload.
It's just the work wasn't translating into results.
"We'd always had the belief that you train well, you play well. But it just wasn't working out that way," Smith said.
"At the stage when Craig (Bellamy) was questioning what he was doing, you were wondering 'are we going to get out of this?'
"But we knew the only way to get out of it was to keep working hard at training.
"It was always there. You don't lose your talent overnight. It was just about gaining the confidence."
It wasn't as if the Storm didn't know about having their faith tested.
Enduring the salary cap scandal and having what they had won stripped away was the darkest of times.
But redemption has not been the theme for this group of players - just making hard work pay off by beating the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium on Sunday.
"A lot of people see the great tries and fancy plays, but we really concentrated on making the small plays our big plays this year," Smith said.
"That's what's made us a better team this year, and it makes us better prepared than last year."

100 Black Women of Atlanta Holds Summit for Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
March 8, 2013
In observance of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on March 10, Clark Atlanta University's (CAU's) Health Services will provide HIV testing and a teen summit on March 9 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Carl and Mary Ware Academic Building, located on the CAU campus at 223 James P. Brawley Drive, SW. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women of Atlanta is sponsoring the summit. According to 2010 CDC statistics, women and girls comprise two-thirds of individuals diagnosed with HIV who were infected through heterosexual sex. Women of all ages who have contracted HIV through heterosexual contact or injection drug use make up one-fourth of all HIV diagnoses. Women of color are particularly affected, accounting for 64 percent of new AIDS diagnoses among women in 2010. For further information on locations for testing, visit www.fultoncountygahealth.org.

Hi Guys
I have a weird issue on opengl. I am rendering a lot of tris (millions) using vertex arrays.
Here is the issue.
If I load up the tris and display as shaded with a constant color, the video memory is showing around 600MB.
If I then change the color array values to be varied at different vertex, the memory usage increases to around 1GB.
If I then spin the model around, the memory usage slowly decreases to around 600MB (after a couple of minutes).
But, if I load up the model straight away with varied shading, the memory is only 600MB.
This is on linux, so is it a driver issue ? Or is there something more obvious I am neglecting.
I am using nvidia-smi to check the graphics memory usage.
Cheers in advance for any help !
