"From Fringes to Mainstream: Taking a District-wide Approach to Online Learning"
Join us for an upcoming webinar!
Monday, November 5th at 2:00 pm EST
"From Fringes to Mainstream: Taking a District-wide Approach to Online Learning"
Many districts begin their online learning implementations by addressing a specific need and student population. Typically, this need is credit recovery, and online learning is a cost-effective solution to help students get back on track. As these programs demonstrate their value, district administrators roll out more and more online learning programs to address diverse student populations.
You're invited to attend our webinar featuring Mary Fluharty, Director of Online Learning at Alexandria City Schools on Tuesday, October 30th at 2 pm EST. In 45 minutes, Mrs. Fluharty will discuss how her district has evolved its online programs over the past five years from credit recovery to a district-wide approach that includes blended learning, AP courses, summer school, and even a satellite campus exclusively for online learners.
This webinar will include:
Overcoming internal resistance to online learning programs
Writing online learning policies and gaining school board approval
Aligning online learning with state standards, and keeping ahead of the curve
Centralizing online learning Technology onto a single platform for ease of administration
Personalizing online learning courses by combining district-created content with vendor
provided content
Join us on November 5th to learn how to take your district to the next level.
Mary Fluharty, Director of Online Learning at Alexandria City Schools

Like mobile phones, music players, PDAs and other modern high-tech gadgets, compact digital cameras tend to get slimmer and lighter with every passing year. Today I'm taking a look at the slimmest camera I've seen so far, the new Cyber-shot DSC-T77. At just 15mm thick and with a shooting weight of 151g it sets a new benchmark for ultra-compact cameras.
Launched in August this year, the T77 is a 10.1 megapixel, 4x zoom ultra-compact that features optical image stabilisation and a 3.0-inch touch-screen monitor. Like all of the models in Sony's style-conscious T-series it has a sliding front panel that serves as both a lens cover and the main power switch. It shares a lot of its features and functions with the earlier Cyber-shot T70 an 8.1-megapixel, 3x zoom model, launched late last year and currently selling for around £150.
Any high-spec luxury ultra-compact will inevitably be compared with something from Canon's IXUS range. Perhaps the closest match would be the 10MP, 5x zoom IXUS 970 IS (£210), but that camera is much larger and heavier. A better fit is the new Nikon CoolPix S60. The S60 has a 10MP sensor, a touch-screen interface and optical image stabilisation, but has a 5x zoom lens. It also sells for around £250, which actually makes the Sony look reasonably priced at £210
There's no denying that the T77 is a very cool looking gadget. Everyone to whom I showed it was impressed by its slim body, elegant styling and solid build quality. It is available in a wide range of colours including silver, black (shown here), pink, brown or bright green. Despite its low weight the camera's body is made of steel and is exceptionally well built. The sliding front cover is solidly mounted and feels very secure, and when closed it provides good protection for the lens and flash.

I'm pretty interested in the T700, but will wait for a few more reviews as it yet to be released...are you planning to review that any time soon?
Hi Sunil, I've got the T700 in for review at the moment, however you may have to wait until after Photokina to read about it.
And Beowulff, Sony has around 20 different models in its range, and caters to every sector of the market. What you're describing sounds like one of its W-series compacts, which are aimed at more demanding photographers. Also, Sony already has a huge share of the global digital camera market, and in fact has at various times been the world's best-selling camera brand.
I just love it.....and I assure you that you would fall in love with this tiny little Sony as soon as you touch and feel it for the very first time.
The first thing that i liked was its size, no one can beat the Sony T77. On top of that it has a 4x zoom that does not pop out. I was scared about the touch screen but just a few minutes with the camera and all my feares were proved wrong.
The other worry was how would it work at night. Well i just switched off all the lights of my living room dead in the night and took a few snaps. The very first result, and i could not stop smiling.
As far as the various settings are concerned, i would like to tell you that i am happy with the T77s auto settings. The camera is intelligent enough to let its happy owners enjoy the moment instead of wasting time in fiddling with diffrent settings for a great picture.
I bet my life on the T77 guys, just go and get it and fall in love.
PS When it comes to battery, i would like to tell that i always carry a stand by and recommend you the same.
Does this camera have any different settings like black and white.. ect?
I purchased the T77 today and am delighted. The camera in auto mode is a delight and does a great job. I am a complete amateur and confirmed non photographer, but this camera actually makes me want to get out there and start "shooting". I would highly recommenmd this great priced camera.
I have had the T77 for about three weeks now. All photos taken seemed of good quality until now. I have noticed white spots or circles in some of the photos taken indoors w/ the use of flash and appear randomly, and red eye seem to be a bit of a problem as well. Disappointing for a pricey gadget. I have had a sony cybershot before and never had problems like this.

Loved ones look for motive in shooting victim's death
DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. - Rebecca Goehner says it was an argument with a friend at the Casa Azteca Apartments in Desert Hot Springs that took a sudden turn for the worse when a man she didn't know, 36-year-old La Von Meyers, got involved.
"He stuck his gun into an argument that had nothing to do with him," she said.
Goehner said Meyers pulled out a gun and when she ran to the door to leave the apartment, he stopped her.
"He grabbed me, pulled me down with him. That's when Ron came in the door. Ron told him to leave me alone, and without hesitating, he turned and shot him four times. Three bullets hit him," said Goehner.
Investigators say Meyers shot and killed 46-year-old Ron Locke on June 29. He turned himself in to police that same night. He pleaded not guilty last week to a murder charge.
"Angry, a lot of anger. He didn't even know him. 'Who is he? Where did he come from?'" said Locke's wife, Jerriann Lee.
Locke also left behind his 12-year-old son Billy.
"Bill was Ron's everything. His family, that's all he cared about," said Locke's wife.
Goehner's daughter Tiffany calls Locke a hero.
"I'm thankful he did it because he saved my mom. But I feel for Billy because he doesn't have a dad," she said.
Goehner wishes she could've changed the outcome.
"He always told me, 'Rebecca, I'd do anything for you.' I guess he really meant it," she said.
To help cover the funeral costs, Locke's friends and family will host a car wash at Round Table Pizza on Date Palm Drive in Cathedral City, Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Patient Experience Journey Lacks Defined Direction
This article appears in the August 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
We're on a journey here," says Robert Permut, MD, chief medical officer for Provena Health, a health system that operates six hospitals, 16 long-term care/residential facilities, and other health facilities in Illinois and Indiana. "It's constant gardening," says Douglas Luckett, chief operating officer for CaroMont Health, a health system based in Gastonia, N.C. Providing positive patient experiences involves doing a lot of little things right.
All told, 84% place patient experience among their top three priorities in the 2012 HealthLeaders Media Patient Experience Survey. "Eighty-four percent is a massive number," says Jeffrey Thompson, MD, CEO of Gundersen Lutheran, a not-for-profit healthcare system serving patients in 19 counties in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. "Most will say you can only have several top priorities. The topic is really out there."
Adequate investments?
With this new survey data, we see that having a high position on the priority list does not necessarily qualify patient experience as a budget-worthy activity, though. More than half (58%) say they have not made specific patient experience investments, or cannot specify what the investment was. Thompson, an advisor for the Intelligence Report, says, "People are saying it is a high priority, yet so many have no investment." At Gundersen Lutheran, patient experience has its own line item. "Ten years ago it was in the same pool as quality," says Thompson, "but we split it out to get people to focus on it." That patient experience line item represents about 3% to 4% of the operating budget.

Snowboard for hardpack
I'm looking for a new board that will allow me to go hyper fast in hard-pack and ice, but still hold up through powder. I'm considering the Lib Tech T. Rice Pro and would like more suggestions.
The Beast by GNU also looks good.
4 Attachment(s)
Lib TRS rips up the ice, the powder, and everything in between. The T. Rice would be a pretty good choice too though.
Generally the longer the board, the better the edge hold on hardpack/ice, and also the better the float in powder, but there is a cost to manoeuvrability. Give us some more info and hopefully we can help you better...

Extra long extension cord
Hi all,
I just joined, because I have a pressing question I need to have anwered in a hurry.
I have a vacation house built entirely out of cinder blocks(looks better than it sounds). In the living room one entire wall has absolutely no outlets and so I thought I could make my own extension cord. It needs to be about 30-40 feet long, so I can attach it around the wall to the other side of the room. Now the big question: Is this safe or is it a fire hazard?
What size wire should I use?
All input is appreciated.
An extension cord isn't listed to be installed in a residence, therefore I wouldn't suggest it. Using it in a residence (loose on the floor) would be an acceptable use, but that doesn't make it a fixture of the house like attaching it to the walls does.
My suggestion would be to use wire mould or conduit to install receptacles as needed in the living room, with appropriate wiring methods. Wire mould could be inconspicuously installed along the bottom of the wall and wouldn't stand out too much. 12 or 14 gauge wire could be used depending on the breaker size on that particular circuit has and what you'll be plugging into the receptacles. For lights and TV/stereo, 15 amps and a 14 gauge wire is the smallest code allows.
The code doesn't allow NM romex or other wire to be installed on the face of a wall, where it is subject to physical damage. It must be protected in some sort of approved conduit.
Well, you can buy a 50' extension cord for temporary use but if you attach it to the wall then you are wiring your house with noncompliant wiring and violating code. IMHO you should go ahead and wire it permanently according to code for your area. Code requires outlets every 12' so that extension cords should not be needed as they are less safe than permanent wiring.
For a permanent installation the best option might be to use a baseboard style raceway if running wire through the wall is not practical.
EDIT:LOL termite types faster than I do and beat me by a minute.
Thanks guys,
You've given me what I needed to know!

PDF Final Stats | UAB Postgame Notes
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP)- UAB outscored UTSA over the final three quarters Saturday, but it was a slow start by the Blazers that made the difference at the Alamodome as the Roadrunners claimed the Conference USA victory, 52-31.
Saturday's meeting was the first between the two schools. UTSA is in its first year as a C-USA member. UTSA quarterback Eric Soza threw to 11 different receivers for a total of 235 yards and two touchdowns to lead an offense that totaled 523 yards. The Blazers nearly matched the Roadrunners in yardage, tallying 506 yards.
Jonathan Perry came off the bench for UAB (2-5, 1-2 C-USA) to throw for 209 yards and a pair of touchdowns while running for 60 more yards. Perry connected with Darrin Reaves for a 21-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter and then hit wide receiver Jamarcus Nelson for a 28-yard score in the fourth period.
Nelson, who finished with 101 receiving yards on five catches, was playing for the first time since the Sept. 28 contest at Vanderbilt due to injury.
Soza, who also rushed for 48 yards, led UTSA (3-5, 2-2 C-USA) to a 24-0 advantage in the first quarter. The Roadrunners scored on their first five possessions to take a 38-10 lead at halftime. UTSA had 183 yards and 11 first downs in the first quarter alone.
Brandon Armstrong, who rushed for 54 yards on four carries, got UTSA on the board with a 22-yard run. Armstrong also hauled in a 51-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. Evans Okotcha scored from 10 yards out to stretch the lead to 45-10 in the third quarter.
Reaves scored a pair of touchdowns for UAB, adding an 18-yard scoring run for the final points of the game with just 3:08 remaining. The touchdown was the 21st on the ground of Reaves' career.
Kicker Ty Long booted a 50-yard field goal, the fourth career field goal of 50 yards or more for the Blazer junior, for UAB's first points of the game.
UAB will return home next Saturday, Nov. 2 when the Blazers play host to Middle Tennessee at Legion Field in their 2013 Homecoming. Kickoff will be at 12:00 p.m. CT as the game will be televised by Fox Sports Net.

Austrian actor Maximilian Schell died overnight at a hospital in Innsbruck following a sudden illness.
The 83-year-old won an Oscar in 1961 for playing a defence attorney in Judgment at Nuremberg, a fictionalized account of the Nuremberg War Trials.
Schell was born in Vienna and raised in Switzerland after his family left the country during Adolf Hitler's rise to power. He acted on stage and screen in Europe before moving to Hollywood in 1958.
Schell's first Hollywood film was the World War II drama The Young Lions, which also starred Marlon Brando, Dean Martin and Montgomery Clift.
He followed that with Judgment at Nuremberg, in which he played attorney Hans Rolfe, who defended four Nazis on trial, and won the Best Actor Academy Award in 1961.
Schell later moved into producing and directing and received Best Foreign Film Oscar nominations for his films First Love in 1970 and The Pedestrian in 1973.
He also directed the 1984 Marlene Dietrich documentary Marlene, which was nominated for Best Documentary.
Schell also received a Best Actor Oscar nomination for The Man in the Glass Booth (1975) and a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Julia (1977).
In the 1990's, Schell had roles in films including Telling Lies in America and Deep Impact. He portrayed Vladimir Lenin in the 1992 HBO miniseries Stalin and received a Golden Globe nomination for the role.
Schell's older sister Maria, who died in 2005, was also an international film star. He is survived by his wife Iva Mihanovic, and his daughter, Nastassja, from his first marriage to Natalya Andreychenko (1985-2005).

Mchael Eric Dyson Calls Out Pastor Jamal Bryant, Roland Martin, and Sophia Nelson for Opposing Gay Marriage [Video]
On MSNBC's The Ed Show, Michael Eric Dyson called out Pastor Jamal Bryant, CNN's Roland Martin, and Sophia Nelson for opposing gay marriage. He called on them to put down their covering and sanctification of bigotry and free those who are oppressed.
Dyson asked, "do we want to become sexual rednecks?" and encouraged blacks to become entrenched in their faith but not deeply rooted in their bigotry. Dyson also pointed out that the architect of the March on Washington was a gay African-American man.
To black people who are upset that the LGBT community is stealing from the Civil Rights movement, Dyson said, "Martin Luther King borrowed heavily from Gandhi. It was already global and international… He {MLK} borrowed the language and applied it to the American scene. Black people do not have a copyright on civil rights insurgence."
Mr. Dyson went on to say that he sees this as an opportunity to free gay closeted pastors in the black church as well.

As you've probably noticed, there've been a lot of interesting changes around here at SiliconANGLE in the last couple of weeks. We try not to talk about ourselves too much here at the blog, but once in a while, enough radical changes take place over a short period of time that you need to mention it to someone. None of my inner circle seem to be online in IM at the moment, so you guys get the benefit of my excitement.
Of course, with excitement for us comes a bit of excitement for what is now a former member of the team. Ho John Lee, SiliconANGLE member and one of the driving forces in our SALabs division has moved on, having his social search project snatched up by Microsoft. More on that in a second.
The Changes You Can Clearly See
A week ago Thursday, we had a catastrophic failure with our installation of WordPress. I tried to upgrade to the newest version of the CMS, and then went through to fix our plug-ins. You may or may not remember, but we had a similar failure during the week of SxSW this year as well. I, unfortunately, wasn't around to help fix the site as I was off covering the event in Austin.
Not to impugn the work of Rex and John who tirelessly worked to get the site back online, but as neither one of them are dedicated system administrators, the site could best be described as being held together with baling wire and duct tape.
Which is why it came apart so easily when I did a simple plug-in upgrade.
Thankfully, this time around, the site came down on a holiday weekend. I spent from Thursday to Monday rebuilding what you see here. I'm still making little tweaks here and there, but more or less, what you're seeing here is generally what we always wanted the site to look like.
Here's what it has:
- A powerhouse CMS: We've upgraded to WordPressMU. This means we can power a suite of blogs. We've set up supplemental blogs for each of our sponsors, and a few of our users have begun using our blogs to syndicate their personal blog posts. Keep an eye on the site as to what this means for you this week, as we'll be going into further detail.
- A full suite of social utility: We installed the plug-in suite of BuddyPress, and the add-on BBPress. This means we have fuller community features. With almost 85+ contributors on the blog, we would like to bring them back, and their individual communities back to the site to collaborate on projects and ideas. You can create groups and discussion areas within those groups, all with RSS feeds to easily export that discussion back to the communities and blogs of your choice.
- A pretty design: Thanks to Elegant Themes, we've got a design that matches our branding and color scheme. It's also a very versatile theme that's easy to manage. I've not done much in the way of heavy theme modification or creation before, but due to great commenting and documentation, I've been able to heavily modify our theme to suit our needs.
- Limited lifestreaming: One of our new SALabs projects, which we'll be talking about over the course of the week, is a new take on lifestreaming and real-time web. The way we've set up our installation of the CMS allows us easy interfaces with Twitter, Friendfeed and other public timelines.
The Changes You Can't Clearly See
Part of why you haven't seen these changes take place is because our site hasn't been, up until now, equipped to display what's going on in our research division. Hopefully now that we've built out our community layers, that won't be as much of a problem moving forward.
As many of you likely saw via our Twitter account this morning, Ho John Lee has graduated out of the SALabs incubator to work directly for Microsoft.
He's been working on a project called SocialQuant, which is a "real time social search and analytics project." He spoke in a bit more detail about it today at his blog:
The rise of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media, combined with web-based applications, smartphones, and cloud computing have all set the stage for new applications and use models based on social discovery, collaboration, and communications, in addition to traditional search. What we're all calling "real time search" lately isn't exactly real time, nor is it exactly search, in which you find a definitive/authoritative answer. Much of the opportunity revolves around discovering people, discussions, and events that are relevant to you and bringing it to your attention in a timely, actionable fashion. Information streams from social media are transient, unreliable, and noisy. At the same time, the sheer volume of data can help provide the basis for building better filters. As an added bonus, you can ask questions to people in the social graph itself, and there are numerous examples of communities of interest forming around current events such as Barack Obama's inauguration, the Iran elections, or even Michael Jackson's funeral, all of which help surface information content, opinion, and sentiment that were previously inaccessible online. One interesting aspect of real time social media is that it's not just algorithmic, it's based on human connections and emotions. So a message that "feels right" from people you trust can be more relevant than one that is "correct" at times.
The challenge then is in filtering and ranking the massive flow of information in a way that helps direct the user's limited (and non-expanding) time and attention in a way that's most valuable to them. With today's information technology, amazing things are possible with limited resources. I personally have more computing and storage resources than the facility we launched HP's original photo site with (for millions of dollars), at a fraction of the cost, routinely pushing around datasets of millions of rows on the local development servers. Unfortunately, that's just the ante to get started on the problem. Running ranking, clustering, and semantic analysis for filtering the ever-growing stream of social media eventually requires web scale computing, even with careful problem selection and data pruning. The bar is also going up every day as the social media user base grows, and as well funded teams make progress on their platforms (+Google). So very shortly, to be competitive in real time, social search and discovery is going to require access to lots of data and either getting a datacenter or working with someone who has one.
He will be joining the team on the Microsoft Bing project, bringing his project and expertise into the fold.
You can continue to follow his work via Twitter (@hjl) and at his posts here, when he's good enough to grace us with his presence.
As one person departs, another joins us. If you have followed my work personally in the past at Mashable or elsewhere, you'll recognize this name: Sean P. Aune.
Sean is joining our staff as of this week to help us boot up a new vertical of coverage in the mobile sector, focusing on mobile monetization. He'll primarily be doing weekly wrap-ups of what's hot in the mobile device sector, with an eye on angles that app developers looking to monetize might find interesting or useful.
We're also looking for more contributors to work with him, as he'll be the section editor for all that falls under the the Mobile category button up on the top of the site. If you're interested, sign up for an account here, and join the "Mobile" group.
No word yet if we're going to kick up a new version of our video podcast (like we did with Mashable Conversations), though we're certainly open to the idea, if a sponsor wants to step up.
That's just a taste of the news to come. John and I spent a few hours today taking stock of where we've come from and where we're headed as an organization; we've come a long way, and we're nowhere near done.
Want to get involved? Jump in on the comments below and offer some suggestions. We're always looking for sponsors, contributors and folks just interested in joining in the community and related discussion.

Next-Gen Subaru WRX Prototype
Engines -1.6L and 2.0L DI with turbo-1.6L HybridTransmissions-6MT-CVTPower~320hp from FA 2.0 turbo
uff XD not the best looker.
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
Is it bad my first thought was Dodge Caliber?
GM to the end.
I thought Toyota Venza when I saw the silver concept.

In before GM_Lexus says, the grill is from Santa Fe.
I actually kind of like it! It looks like what the current xB should.
I hate playing the car A copied car B card, but that grill really looks like it should be on a Hyundai

Too subtle to look like the production WRX. Trust me, it will get more aggressive and snubby looking, and the world will know right away it's the next WRX.
******************Awarded Best Troll Statement for 2011
Wow, in regards to the front fascia of that prototype, can you say Audi A5?
_________________________________________________________________________Life begins......at 180 MPH.
Yep, I see Audi lights and a Hyundai grille, but it turned out nice. The profile is kind of busy, though.

It looks unnaturally large to me. Add that to reduced displacement and I'm sure what we've got is a slower, softer, more frugal WRX. Subaru is becoming Toyota.
-------------------Chortle Chamber!"You can tell a lot about a person by the way they eat a handful of mayonnaise."-Five Iron Frenzy fan
Ummmmm................Once I copied/reproportioned the side view into something close to production, it looked really good. As is, it looks terrible. As to the front end; Subaru has serious problems. The current Legacy is a bit of an eyesore, Impreza concepts haven't looked very appealing and the BRZ has a completely different face, closer to outgoing Mazdas than corporate Subaru.Like the lines of the profile, but Subaru needs to throw out all their frontend designs (CUVs OK) and get moving on something new. The next Impreza and WRX would be a good place to start, followed by the Legacy and redesigned BRZ.
Let me get this straight, some unknown Subaru insider tells MT that the next gen WRX will have design elements from the tourer concept such as headlights, grill, and airdam. Motor trend then goes out and takes the whole comment out ofproportion by releasing a series of articles titled, "next gen wrx prototype released" This also contradicts what Subaru has been saying all along of a smaller WRX.
it looks like an elongated Lexus CThingamabob

An early prototype of the Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini gives a hint of what to expect from the company's mini-ITX-friendly board.

I hope.. HOPE they will do this to new GTX700 series.
Imagine GTX770 this size, only 20% faster... Sweet spot for me!

The problem is cooling 170W in a tiny space is difficult. It's less space than a CPU cooler, but more wattage. Your fan has to push air down and out, while maintaining enough thermal mass underneath to absorb the heat, and the PCB can't take as much bend as a motherboard as it has more PCB layers and generally lower voltages on thinner lines. The new fan and cooler has been in development since well into last year.

That's the standard PCB length - are you saying yours is only 155mm?Revealed late yesterday on the company's Republic of Gamers site, the new board takes the compact board of Nvidia's GTX 670 reference design - just 17.5cm along its length - and pairs it with an ultra-compact version of the Asus DirectCU heatsink for a small form factor-appropriate yet surprisingly powerful graphics card.

The stock cooler for my 670 is sitting in the box - the card looks very dinky with a fullcover block on it. I am surprised that there hasn't been a whole truckload of short 3rd party coolers for the reference board.

Sheldon I. Hochman of Mount Holly was charged after security screeners at Rutland Southern Vermont State Airport found the pistol along with loose ammunition in a fanny pack in July 2006.
The 62-year-old Hochman was headed to Alaska for his honeymoon when it happened. He says he didn't mean to pack the pistol and that he'd used sleeping pills and alcohol the night before that might have interfered with his memory.
The jury deliberated less than two hours before acquitting Hochman.
His lawyer says prosecutors couldn't show Hochman acted intentionally.

Hello World.
I appreciate you stopping by this little slice of Toronto.
Right now Toronto is on the cusp of obtaining a bicycle share program that will allow Torontonians and all citizens of the world the opportunity to share and experience this wonderful city with the help of a simple two wheeled bicycle.
I feel that local pressure is not enough to get this task done. That is why i'm asking for Global Assistance.
Please read the notice below from Yvonne Bambrick of the Toronto Bike Union.
Please write a short email on why you feel Toronto deserves a bike share program or how an existing bike share program or cycling in general in your city has improved the quality of your life. If an email is too much trouble, please leave comments and i'll pass them on.
If we are successfull in acheiving our goal of bike share in Toronto, please visit us and we'll go for a ride.
Please read Yvonnes email Below:
Cheers 'Xander
Fellow Cyclists,
**Public Bike Share is almost a reality – but we're not there yet!**
We still need to take action to make sure this public bikes program wins the support of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee (PWIC) on Tues April 20th, and City Council on May 11-12.
The action you took via our very effective letter-writing campaign back in February is what made the new proposal of 1000 bikes at 80 stations possible. Were it not for the 300+ compelling letters you sent the program would have died completely – we made this happen by speaking up! We must now do so again.
*-* Your URGENT 5-minute CALL TO ACTION: **
Email your friendly support before Monday April 19th at Noon for the Public Bike Share staff report and proposal is being presented on April 20th at the PWIC meeting to the PWIC Clerk, your Councillor, and Mayor Miller.*-*
Send your email to:
CC: email@example.com
Subject: Item PW32.8 - Proposed Public Bicycle Program, Staff Report (you can change the subject just make sure to include the item number)
This system would dramatically improve our city, allow more people to choose cycling as an option, and catalyze the long awaited bike infrastructure we've been requesting
More details about recent news on this issue, a link to the staff report, and some suggestions for email content can be found on the following sites:
(April 13)
PW32.8-Proposed Public Bicycle Program, Staff Report - http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2010/pw/bgrd/backgroundfile-28853.pdf
**Please Note: I highly recommend personalizing your email and including some of your own thoughts on the issue - 500 unique and supportive emails are all the more powerful than 500 cookie cutter letters.**
Thank you for taking the time to take action and show your support for this important green transportation initiative - adding your voice will make a difference!
If Amsterdam Copenhagen, Montreal, Paris, Washington, London (this summer), Brussels, Milan, Stockholm, Chile, Barcelona, and others can do it - so can Toronto!
Yvonne and the bike union team.

Getting the first line of laminate straight
I would like to put down a laminate floor in my older apartment. How do you get the first row of boards straight to the wall so that the rows that follow are going straight. If i just butt them to the wall with the spacers and the wall is not straight to the floor won't the line of boards be on a slant.How do you get the first line straight so all that follows will be straight and not be on a slant
Using a chalk line, snap a line on the floor. The line should be one width of flooring plus the suggested offset from the wall.
Make marks at each end of the room and snap as long a line as possible.
Measure from this line to the opposite wall to confirm that the last row of flooring will be acceptable, ie: straight to that other wall.
Adjust the snap line if required. May need to erase the first line or use a different colour.
Place the first line of flooring on the line. Tongue out. Then set your wedges behind the flooring to maintain the straight edge.
hope this helps.
Thanks for the recognition but out of context the comment doesn't mean very much.:)
When snapping the chalk line how do you know that the chalk line is straight. Do you line up the edge of the board with the chaulk line
Trying to put down a laminate floor 12mm. This is in an older apartment with walls that are not even. How do you get the first line of laminate boards straight to the wall so that all that follow will not be on a slant
2 threads on same issue merged
Let's go through this one more time. Measure out away from the longest wall the width of a board plus the needed gap. Make a mark on the floor with a pencil. Do this at both ends of the room/wall. Then grab a friend to help you stretch the chalk line taught between the two pencil marks.
Snap a line.
Measure from the chalk line mark across to the opposite wall to verify the distances from end to end are basically equal. (It will be a different measurement of course this time.)If they are equal from end to end, you are good to go. If they are not equal some adjustment in the line is necessary to split the difference.
Once the line is final lay-in the first row of boards and install the spacers at the wall. Additional shimming may be required to get the first row of boards to meet the chalk line perfectly. Once the boards are positioned on the line and pushing them towards the wall results in no movement due to the shimming, you are then good to go.:)
This is a duplicate post. The original post already has comments. This post should be disregarded.

Film critics are beginning to groan about this being an interesting but less-than-satisfying year for movies. I've got to agree. Usually, the Oscar season reveals a handful of movies that are worth revisiting time and time again.

Lee WKU Historians Discuss the Significance of the Battle of Antietam By Dan Modlin • Sep 17, 2012 Antietam Natiional Battlefield / National Park Service One-hundred-fifty years ago this week, Union and Confederate forces met for one of the deadliest single day battles in American history. The Battle of Antietam took place in Maryland, after Confederate commander Robert E. Lee decided to move north from Virginia. The battle is remembered for high casualty figures and graphic photographs that increased public awareness about the death and suffering caused by the fighting. Historians Say Peninsula Campaign Helped Robert E. Lee Establish Reputation By Dan Modlin • Jun 27, 2012 One hundred and fifty years ago this month, Union forces hoped to capture the Confederate capitol of Richmond. In fighting that became known as the "Peninsula Campaign," Robert E. Lee kept his promise that the city would be defended. Historians Say Different Approaches to Command Marked Peninsula Campaign By Dan Modlin • Jun 18, 2012 150 Years ago Union and Confederate forces were involved in some bloody fighting that became known as the "Peninsula Campaign." The Union developed a plan to attack the Confederate Capital of Richmond, Virginia, but a combination of factors, including indecisive command decisions, kept the North from succeeding with that plan. This fighting led to the emergence of Confederate Commander Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia, according to WKU historians Dr. Glenn LaFantasie and Dr. Jack Thacker.

Dontbebroke Up to $1000 in Fast time.Get cash now.
There are times we overrun our budget before the next paycheck and the only option available is to look around for some fast cash to avoid embarrassment. That is what payday loans are meant for. These are short term loans that offer fast cash when it matters most. Once a lender considers you eligible for a payday loan, you are expected to repay it from your next paycheck once it is approved for you. That is why it is called payday loans or dontbebroke.com
It is the norm for most operators of payday loans like dontbebroke.com to process and approve the loan request for eligible applicantswithin hours. However, you must satisfy the basic requirements before you are approved for a payday loan. The requirements are quite easy to meet by anyone who has a job. Debating whether payday loans are good or bad depends on each individual. Do you need fast cash and are you able to pay back the loan? If yes, then payday loans may be the best option for you.
One of the biggest selling points of payday loans is that you do not need to have a good credit history. So long you have a job and a proof of a steady income; you are qualified for a payday loan. Since the lender will align your request with your regular earnings, the need for collateral does not arise for a www.dontbebroke.comThat means this is an unsecured loan. You do not need to pledge your home or car to get this loan. Another important benefit of payday loans is that a borrower is able to make the most out of a worst case scenario with the loan.
Payday loans do have their disadvantages. The main drawback is the high interest rates a borrower would have to pay. The interest rates could be as high as 60% or more. Really, that might be damn high but most people who are customers of www.dontbebroke.com don't see it like that. Why? Well, this type of fast cash provides handy solutions to a problem that could have otherwise become embarrassing.
Another drawback of dontbebroke is that a default could create further problems for your credit rating. Should you take a payday loan? Well, the decision is all yours! Take it if you need it urgently or better start living within your budget and hope that nothing happens that will make you look around for fast cash.

As usual MSI had a plethora of new products on show both at its booth and its suite in the Hyatt Hotel. Of course there were some predictable showings, but also some unexpected gems nestling among the myriad of kit.
One such gem was a Radeon X800 card that was equipped with both AGP and PCI Express interfaces. It's clear that a card like this will never see the light of day as far as retail sales go, but it was a very impressive concept nonetheless.
The main part of the graphics board looks pretty standard, but it doesn't take long to notice that there are edge connectors on both the top and bottom of the card. Obviously one of the connectors is AGP while the other is PCI Express. The idea is that you could stick it in your current AGP motherboard and then when you upgrade to PCI Express you simply flip it over and use the PCI Express side.
When you're as jaded as I am, it's great to see such innovative design, even if it is just a bit of fun for the R&D department. That said, if a product like this had been available a year ago, there may have been quite a strong market for it.

Happy Holidays!
Just a few scenes from around our house- I'm usually not a fan of clutter, but I have a hard time showing restraint with Christmas decorations. And, every year even though I swear I won't buy anything new I always do. It's especially hard since the kids are so into it and love when I put everything out! I'm still on the hunt for a nice kid-friendly Nativity (something unbreakable)...
Happy Holidays!!

Damp problem in old house with concrete floors
My house is over 100 years old and has concrete floors throughout but I have a bad problem with damp. I've heard that all the floors will need to be dug up. Is that the only solution ?
- Certainly it will be necessary to determine where the moisture's coming from, the floor's construction and whether or not it has a damp proof membrane fitted.
It is not necessarily the case these days that the floor has to be dug up. As long as you can get back to sound concrete,ÿmodern resin coatings can be used to resolve the dampness problem, although you may have to sacrifice the existing floor screed and re-lay a new one on top of the resin layer.ÿÿÿ
Related Questions
I had large patches of damp appear after having some standard plastering done. I then had a damp survey done by a specialist surveyor and was told the DPC was bridged due to the plastered walls on 3 sides of room meeting directly with the flooring. I was advised to remove the plaster up to approx 2 ft, re-plaster with porous plaster, leave a gap between the new plaster and the flooring and fill with anti damp solution (some kind of spray was used). 3 months later I now have a tide mark under the back window sill (external wall) approx 1 & half feet up from the skirting boards. There are also slight markings around the other walls. Can you explain what has happened?
I have a brick built miners cottage which is approx 100 years old and is rendered on the front elevation. There is a 100mm spacing between the bottom edge of the rendering and the pavement outside.
The inside walls have what appears to be a 1 metre high cement mixture rather than plaster and at the base about 500mm apart are small round vents about 30mm in diametre which have tubes behind them going into the wall. I have a Royal Doulton Damp Proof Certificate from approx 35 years ago and assume that the vents are to do with this. However I am about to refurbish the rooms and wondered if there was a way to remove them for something more modern as they prevent wallpapering or if after all this time I needed to conduct any type of maintenance on them to maintain damp proofing. There does appear to be salt marks (white powder) on the walls, which I have scraped off, they walls are quite uneven so I would like to plaster and repaint but would not want this staining to come back through
How can I tell if the house has condensation problems or it is rising damp ?

Beginning of the End?
"Scientists have embarked on a massive project to "barcode" every species of life on earth to create what would be a modern-day Noah's Ark to aid research." Alarmists will say this is the beginning of 'being marked'. Some folks think this is what The Bible refers to when it says those "with a mark on their head or hands". Will panic ensue? Will protests abound? My interpretation of the Bible passage is merely our works/actions and thoughts/heart. However, we still need to fear Big Brother. He is definitely coming! Here's the full story on the barcoding of animals.

The Mark
I think identify theft is going to get so bad that there is going to be some kind of volunteer chip implant process started. Wave your hand over the scanner and your are good to go. People that refuse the chip will find it harder and harder to conduct bank transactions or buy goods. The beast will actually be the computer network storing the data.
re: The Mark
Shudder to think. Hopefully I will have moved on to the great compiling ground in the sky by then.

NEW YORK (AP) — Elisabeth Hasselbeck is leaving the desk at "The View" for the couch on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends."
The news network said Tuesday that Hasselbeck will join co-anchors Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade on the three-hour morning show "Fox & Friends" in September. Wednesday will be her last day after a decade on "The View."
Hasselbeck parlayed her popularity as a contestant on "Survivor" into a job on Barbara Walters' ABC daytime show in 2003. During her decade on the show, she authored two cookbooks. She's politically more conservative than her co-hosts on "The View," which often led to some contentious moments.
Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said that Hasselbeck's "warm and engaging personality made her a star" and an "excellent conversationalist." She replaces Gretchen Carlson, who will be given her own daytime show on Fox, Ailes said.
"When Elisabeth survived 'Survivor,' we wanted to make sure she would stay afloat," Walters said. "We have had 10 wonderful years with her and she will now be swimming in new waters. We will miss her and wish her everything good."
Rumors that Hasselbeck was leaving first surfaced in March, drawing a heated denial from Walters at the time. She also said it was not true that Hasselbeck's political views made her unpopular in the executive suites at "The View."
Her views won't be a problem on "Fox & Friends," which is popular with a conservative audience. The talk show is the most popular cable news program in the morning.
Hasselbeck's departure is part of a year of turnover at "The View." Joy Behar, one of the show's original panelists, is also leaving. Walters, who developed the show, is retiring from television next spring. That leaves Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd as the remaining panelists. Jenny McCarthy, the former Playboy playmate who currently hosts a show on VH1, has been mentioned as a possible new panelist.

El Saadawi to speak on "Politics, Women, and Democracy" October
in Stoney Brook to be Given a Lift at Mount Holyoke
House to be Moved October 19
Clinic on Hold
Week at MHC
new eelway will be unveiled at Mount Holyoke October 18 at 3:00
PM. The eelway allows passage for migratory and resident eels
over a dam on Stoney Brook, located on campus. At the site, representatives
from the Center for the Environment, the Connecticut River Watershed
Council (CRWC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) will be on hand to explain how the eelway was constructed
and how it works.
The eelway has a short, portable ramp that leads to a trap box
on the west side of the College's Dam #1. Mount Holyoke
students will transport eels from the trap box to a variety of
locations above the three dams located in the MHC portion of
the Stony Brook watershed. The eelway ramp will be installed
each spring and operated throughout the summer when the eels
migrate, then removed and stored during the winter.
"The eelway is a wonderful example of pairing environmental stewardship
with innovative curricular development," explained MHC
Center for the Environment director Thomas L. Millette. "The
trap and transport approach used in this eelway allows Mount
Holyoke students to build a database of eel characteristics
and migration patterns that can be used to support research
and instruction."
"This project is the first of what will hopefully be several eel
projects on Stoney Brook, a stream with excellent eel habitat," noted
Andrea Donlon, CRWC's river steward. "Eels are
a fascinating species and are an important part of our ecosystem.
Unfortunately, their numbers are mysteriously declining in
America. Although several factors may be affecting their population
-- much of their habitat is restricted by dams. We are working
to get more eelways installed on dams throughout the Connecticut
River watershed."
The eelway was partially funded by the CRWC through a grant
with the NOAA.
The Watershed Council is a nonprofit membership organization
that has been working for more than 50 years to protect and
restore the natural resources of the Connecticut River watershed.
their fisheries restoration program, they have worked on improving
fish habitat by coordinating the installation of fishways,
replacing culverts, and altering or removing dams.
The unveiling of the eelway is free and open to the public.

Jim is definitely a fraud- has a smooth talking way about him- and every excuse you can imagine- I am in the process of working with the Suffolk County District Attorneys office, Attorney General's office and the Mortgage Banking Dept- that is if he is even licensed- Jim and Alicia and Matt are all very greedy people who have taken advantage of people having hardships- what a disgrace they are and how they sleep at night amazes me - but the one gift I hope they all get is a nice set of shiny silver bracelets and from what I am being told they may get them sooner then we hope- Be sure to tell everyone you know to stay clear of these people they are thieves-

TUF 5 Finale: Manny Gamburyan vs. Nate Diaz
Nate Diaz fights Manny Gamburyan in the Ultimate Fighter 5 Lightweight finals. You've seen them all season long and now it comes down to this, who will reign supreme.
1k on nate
5k on Nate...he's gonna sub Manny when he tries to lay on top of him every round.
2 mil on Nate. This is just a bad matchup for Manny. If he takes Nate down and doesn't finish Nate will sub him fairly easily because Manny's arms won't be able to reach Nate's head while he's in full or half guard so every time he punches it gives Nate an oppurtunity for an armbar or triangle.
If Manny keeps it standing Diaz will pick him apart with his weak annoying jabs the whole time and win a decision.
Manny's got some determination though so who knows I just don't see how he can possibly win other than maybe a kimura since that's basically his only finishing move and I doubt he will sink one in on Nate.
Manny just have a feeling TUF5 talent sucked and Lauzon was the only championship material.
Manny is an awesome fighter, don't get me wrong. But Diaz has been way more impressive, finishing his opponents off in the first or second round via submissions. Manny will push the pace like he always does and Diaz is the perfect fighter that will catch you whenever you move too far too fast.
I dunno about this matchup. J-Lau was my pick to win, obviously. However, Manny just layed on him the whole time. Diaz hasn't impressed me with any of his matchs really. Maybe that's cause I hate Nick Diaz, and I'm biased. Lol. I dunno who to bet on. I need to think about this one.
Money on Manny, his gonna TKO Nate in either the first or the second round :thumb01:
Manny will pull it out. He'll bull Nate around and toss him like Corey did. But, Manny has more experience than Corey; he won't fall for the submission.
Manny will stop Nate.
5000 on Manny.

Hey all, i am going to start a lizardmen army and was wondering if anyone might help me choose a colour scheme as i am a bit lost in how to do it.
All input is very much appreciated!!!
Fluff-wise lizardmen range from every shade of blue you can make.
However, you are by no means obligated to follow the fluff. Go out on google and look at "lizard" under the image tab. Then find a picture you really like. Generally they will be green, brown, and tan, but you will run into some that are blue.
If "lizard" does not turn up results that you like you can also try "snakes", "crocodiles", "alligators", "salamanders", "skinks", etc.
This should help you find the motivation that you're looking for.
I think BluPlague has the right idea.
Cruise the net for pictures of actual lizards, other painted lizardmen armies, GW sites etc for inspiration.
Ultimately though it has to be a colour scheme that YOU like.
Here is a link to the OZ GW sites interactive saurus painter where you can test your colour schemes.
Painting Lizards
Hope it helps,
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares, your a mile away and you have his shoes!!
Chuck Norris invented water
I just painted my saurus and they turned ou treally well in my opinion. I'm no tthe greatest painter but lizardmen are fairly easy to paint (aside from their blasted teeth being nearly completely covered by their blasted weapons that have blasted tiny tiny tiny little spikes sticking out the sides...)
First I primered them black (actually dark dark dark dark grey, but it has the same effect)
Anyway for the bodies I did a base coat of the dark dark green basecoat paint from GW, you can also you snot green as they look exactly the same. Then I did a dry brush of scorpion green, then an ink wash with dark green ink.
For the spikes I did a base of codex grey followed by a pretty thick coat of bleached bone. Same for the teath, claws, and spiked on the weapon
For the borders of the weapons I used Bubonic Brown, it looks kinda like a rust when it's initially painted but once it dries it is a really cool wood color.
Then I used the codex grey to the inner part of the weapons. I basically wanted the weapons to look like they were made out of the copyrighted lizardmen stone material with a border of wood that has bone spikes sticking out of it.
I'd post a picture of one but I am too lazy to upload to photobucket or whatever...
My question is, with a green scheme like mine what shields are popular? I'll google as that's a great idea but I'm curuious what you libries have done.
I painted my lizzies blue, light for the skin and dark for the scales. Then I went over the scales with space wolves gray and painted all the bones going down the spine bleached bone. The shields are painted with 3-4 different coats of green that give them a jungle look.
All in all, though I've never actually seen a blue lizard in real life, I figured blue was a good color for a couple of different reasons. I liked the fluff and it kind of looks nice on the model. More importantly, however, I started a orc army at the same time as my lizzies, so paint them green would have driven me mad.
I use Scaly Green mixed with Skull White for the skin and Ultramarines Blue for the scales.
The Rep Thumb is to the left of my post, in case you didn't see it.
I personally think they look really good with mainly dark red with yellow in the bellyish bits. Probably just like those colors though, but I think its primarily when I'm thinking Lizardmen.
I find that the best colors for lizys is blue,green,purple,dark red. Not to mention i prefer more of a blend with the shades of the colors.dont like to much diferent colors of the same tone
1:find what makes him tick
2:stop the ticking
I have gone for the simple but effective technique of dipping my Lizardmen, mainly due to my poor skill and shaky hand combined with the satisfactory results it produces!
My skinks are all yellow with either red or green scales and crests on their backs and my saurus are green underneath with red scales. Ive used a quite dark wood varnish so the result is ok for tabletop gaming.
My lizards are going to have a graduated color scheme. The skinks are Scorpion green with Hawk Turquoise scales. The the Lizardmen will be Hawk Turquoise bodies with a darker blue scales. The Kroxigors will be dark blue bodies with purple scales. The Terradons are going to be green and I'm not sure about the Cold Ones yet, maybe a purple/purple or a purple/black. Salamanders are red/orange. Not sure yet about the Slann either. I was thinking of doing him like a poison arrow frog with black/blue, black/yellow, or black/bright green.

text: I finally decided to join the forum and this is my first post and after realizing how depressing my current shoe situation was, I went out just bought a couple pairs of Allen Edmonds, one of which was the Finch in tan/leather. I was sort of surprised at the color when they arrived. This is the shoe that I ordered off the AE site, I was expecting a brown, burnished look all the way through: The shoes I received looked more like this, which is off zappos (I honestly thought this was a different shoe when first looking): I called AE and they said I could exchange it for a different pair with the possibility that the color may be different, but I am assuming it will just be similar so I won't bother. They did tell me to try a little bit of chili colored polish on it in a discrete location and see how it dried, and I did that with a lighter shade and it definitely changed the color of the leather for that little spot. So my question is, if I use a walnut color polish (the lightest AE brown, but still alters the color of the leather) on the whole front half of the shoe, will the polish come out looking spotty or otherwise crappy? Is this permanent or can it be removed? I just don't want to ruin the shoe. It is a very nice tan color, just not what I am looking for in one of only 3 pairs of good shoes I have. I really like the look of the shoe and I did wear it very briefly outside so the soles aren't flawless anymore - so I am not sure I could get a refund.

building a cradle
My C-24 needs a patch on the bottom of the keel and it is now on a trailer.What's the best way to build a cradle that I can pull the trailer through and out from under the boat? I'm considering modified adjustable metal posts that would be used to support floor joists in a house or going over the top with lumber and a sling then bracing from below. thanks

Speech recognition and voice control, for example, have been around in one form or another since the 1960s, with the first commercial applications appearing in the early 1990s. Ten years ago this was still an emerging technology, with the consumer market dominated by IBM's ViaVoice, Lernout and Hauspie's Voice Express and Dragon NaturallySpeaking. All three applications were largely effective, but required a period of training and reasonably quiet office conditions to work. While it was entirely possible to control Windows, dictate documents and browse the Web, there were too many barriers for speech recognition and voice command to really hit the mainstream.
Today, that's changing. For one thing, speech recognition and voice commands are now an integral part of Windows, having been made native to the operating system with Windows Vista and enhanced for Windows 7. Its key use is as an accessibility tool for Windows users with mobility impairments (though you'll also appreciate it if you ever suffer from bad RSI). Sure, it's a little odd to be literally telling your PC what to do, but it takes less time to adjust than you might think, and while most of us will be faster typing documents than dictating them - as a writer, speaking rather than typing seems to throw up a weird kind of barrier - the system is surprisingly accurate after a minimum amount of training. Meanwhile, the latest version of Dragon Naturally Speaking claims to be 99 per cent accurate, and as, on average, most people speak at around 140 words per minute using it should be faster than typing too.
Even ignoring speech recognition, voice command is due a resurgence. In the past, people have been put off by clunky voice-enabled Web browsers, mobile phones and early PDAs, but as we start interacting with more devices or networked devices within the home or office, where you might not necessarily be sat in front of a mouse and keyboard, voice command begins to make more sense. As is so often the case, games are leading the way. For example, for years console gamers have suffered with second-rate RTS games that were designed for a mouse rather than an analogue stick. Last year's Tom Clancy's EndWar, while not totally successful, changed that by mapping the command of troops to voice commands. Shouting "Squad X attack Target Y" works well within the context of a strategy game, and the technology - if not always the gameplay - stood up.
You might also remember SWAT: Global Strike Team and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3, Vegas and Vegas 2, where you could issue simple vocal commands to your squad. So far it's been a gimmick - and not always an effective one - but as games start to use player to AI dialogue in more and more sophisticated ways, speech recognition and voice control will be the natural way to do it. Expect Peter Molyneux's Natal showcase, Milo and Kate, to be a benchmark, as much of the gameplay involves spoken interaction between you and the titular characters.
Voice command is also becoming increasingly popular for in-car mobile phone, audio and navigation systems, where - for obvious reasons - hands free operation is a must. BMW and Mercedes are already doing great work here, and you can expect the tech to trickle down to cheaper makes and models over time. We might even have it operating our TVs. At this year's IFA conference in Berlin, a pan-European research project, Dicit, was demonstrating voice control of a DVB set-top-box, though the masses of hardware required and the stilted nature of the language used showed that this was still a technology in development, not one for immediate commercial release.
