|Re: Architecture Question
|Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:05:05 GMT
Hello again, I am developing a desktop application that run on Windows using WPF interface. The application loading and saving data using RESTful web service that is currently only a thin wrapper around relational database. My design require the following things: 1. Offline work - allow the users to work in offline mode when connection to the server is not working 2. Sync between local and remote databases - Either online or manual sync between databases 3. Conflict resolution - Both offline and sync may cause conflicts so I need a way to resolve them 4. Security - I need to authenticate the user and authorize them according to security rules. The first 3 requirements available in CouchDB out-of-the-box - the question here is what data model to use in order to take advantage of those those capabilities. My model is close to the following (top to bottom): - ProcessGroup is a data entity with name and set of Processes - Process is a data entity with name and set of activities - Activity is a data entity with name and set of participants and set of properties If I will create a document for ProcessGroup it will cause to much conflicts even if two users change different activities. On the other hand if I model each entity as it own document I can't be sure that when creating a Process with 100 activities all of the activities will be added, for example a power down in the middle of the process or CouchDB fail half way though the addition. In other words there are no transaction out side a document.

Does this sound like your topic?
Claims for Social Security Disability are very often difficult to prove under the very strict Social Security rules. A diagnosis alone does not necessarily mean that the disorder as manifested in any particular individual will meet or equal Section 11.09 of the Listings of Impairments. Whether Social Security will award benefits depends on the strength of the claimant's medical evidence to support symptoms must be made on an individual basis.
Diagnosis of MS most often occurs to more women than men and under the age of 50. (See: www.hms.harvard.edu/hmni/On_The_Brain/Volume05.../MSF.html) As a "younger individual" under age 50, a claimant is required to prove by credible medical evidence that she or he is not capable of performing a wide range of sedentary or sit-down work. There are a number of severe symptoms, including: fatigue, pain, lack of concentration, inability to maintain persistence or pace, physical weakness, mental confusion, impaired cognition, and other symptoms, most often in combination, that can lead to a favorable decision. However, fatigue alone cannot be the basis of approval: an individual must demonstrate objective ongoing neurological deficits.
Maintaining a strong relationship with a treating specialist over time will go a long way towards substantiating the disability claim. A claimant may want to ascertain the willingness of his or her treating physician to complete relevant evaluation forms supplied by a competent Social Security Disability attorney. If supportive, these can be submitted to Social Security as part of the disability claim. The National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives can provide referrals to qualified attorneys in your area.

Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
I have been having problems with the check engine light coming on, and it giving me the P1071 / P0174 codes that the car is running lean.
I know that one of the things is that an oiled air filter can cause an oil buildup on the Mass Air Flow sensor.
Is the Fram air filter oiled? Could the Fram air filter be causing this problem?
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
Check to make sure you reconnected the PCV line when you installed the filter.Don't mess with Binky Bear!
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
Fram air filters are not oiled.
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
Thanks for the responses. I did not think that the FRAM was oiled, but since that is one of the possible symptoms is an oiled air filter causing buildup on the MAF sensor. Dealing with a 2008 STS
I am officially above my head now. I never knew that changing an air filter would be so difficult. When I changed the air filter, I unscrewed the bolts, took out the old air filter (which looked identical to the new one, but not sure what brand), put in new one, then put screws back in. I did not see any other connections, and not sure exactly what PCV line is:
A little more background.
I have had the check engine light come on a few times, but would go out again. Just when I was going to take it to the dealer, we had an ignition coil go bad. Got replaced. The three days later the light came back on. Had the vacuum hose replaced. light came back on next day after getting back.
It is now with them again and they have recently replaced the MAF sensor, but their tests are still coming up that it is running lean.
One of the things on the checklist is that some aftermarket air filters could cause this problem. Not sure the air filter is the problem as some time had passed, but wanted to see if anyone else had run into this problem
That is why I was asking the question.
Thanks again.
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
The big rubber/plastic hose between the air filter and the throttle body has a connection about midway that goes to the PCV connection on the left valve cover. It's easy to overlook but a blind man could reconnect it. If left loose it will cause several different codes.Don't mess with Binky Bear!
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
If you purchased a Fram ToughGard filter, it is oiled. Most people don't buy these ones. Depsite this, I agree with koz. This sure sounds like there is unmetered air getting in the system. Check all the connections from the air box back, including any vacuum lines.
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
N*? Could this be another set of loose intake manifold bolts?
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
Thanks everyone. It was just the Fram Extra Guard filter.
I will let everyone know what it is. My car has been at the dealer for over one week now trying to figure this latest one out. The reason I posted this question is because they called me asking about the filter. Again, their check list that they are going down says that after market air filters could cause the "lean" codes, and they called me.
I will let you know what finally comes back, since they already replaced the MAF sensor and it is still showing it running lean.
Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
ALL pleated paper air filters have some tiny amount of "oil" in them. It's part of the paper forming/pleating process. Smell one. NONE of the commercially available pleated paper air filters has enough "oil" in it to damage anything.
K&N filters, if the wash and oil type, are typically abused by the owners because, as with all hype and snake oil, if a little is good, more must be better. We decode and replace quite a few MAF sensors of different types due to K&N zealots screwing things up with that damned "filter oil". (Marvel Mystery Oil - a few drops - works just fine. Let it spread through the media for 3 days.)
For any vehicle with a divorced MAF and air ducting clamped to the filter box/throttlebody, any clamp left loose, and sensor or PCV line left open/unplugged, any rip in the intake ducting causes lean mixture codes.
For example, in this picture, any air leak at or after the MAF WILL set lean codes. Ask me how I know.
Actually, FRAM makes damn good air filters. Their oil filters, however, leave something to be desired. I happen to be partial to WIX filters.

Re: Can a Fram Air Filter cause P0171/P0174 codes
My 2005 STS N* had an issue with the MAF sensor, although I'm sorry I don't remember the exact codes, it's been a couple years.
It was an intermittent problem and I actually bought a new MAF sensor, which is surprisingly not too expensive, thinking that would solve it, but it didn't. From there, I hooked my code reader which has some live output (one of which is the MAF sensor value). With the car running I was able to reproduce the problem when wiggling the MAF sensor harness' wires.
On inspection it looked like the wire had a spiral cut in the insulation and the wire itself, at a similar pitch to the wrapped "tape" that bundles up and protects the wires. I don't know if this taping is done at the factory by a robot or by hand, but my theory is somehow it was done wrong and weakened the wire and over the years it fatigued and separated internally.
Anyway, I just cut and spliced and re-taped and no more problems.
So something to definitely check especially if this was some kind of manufacturing problem.
good luck.

My partner and I are shopping for sperm to use for IUIs later this year. I'm finding it more daunting than I imagined, and I'm hoping that you all might have some advice or experience to share. For starters, we're generally uncomfortable with what feels like "engineering" a baby based on donor profiles, but that seems like something with which we're just going to have to come to terms in this process. The other two challenges we're working with are whether or not to use an id release donor and what sperm bank to choose. I know, not exactly novel challenges around here!
After talking to other queer parents and few adopted friends, I think we've decided that having a willing-to-be known donor is not of the highest priority for us. I originally assumed we would use an id release donor just to keep our child(ren)'s options open when they are adults, but it seems like most of our queer friends who have conceived via insemination used anonymous donors and are happy with that decision. We really think the family that we create is more important than biological ties, but I also have some discomfort in closing off the option for our child(ren) to know their donors. The cost savings of anonymous donors is also a plus for us, of course. What do you think about the perennial id release/ anonymous debate? If we go with a non-id release donor, are we going to regret the decision for the rest of our lives?
Also, we could use some help choosing a sperm bank. I've read as many reviews as I can find, but it seems like reviews are not readily available for some of the banks we're considering. Is it a red flag if I can't find reviews? The banks we are considering are:
Pacific Reproductive Services: We like that they're lesbian owned, but are they really worth double the price of other banks (especially if we don't require a willing to be known donor)?
CryoGam Colorado: I really like that they go out of their way to advertise their LGBT friendliness, and my microbiologist friend says they have a great reputation in the industry. They also happen to have my favorite donor profile at the moment, but I haven't talked to anyone who has actually used their services.
Idant Labs: Again, very little info on them other than their industry ratings and what they say on their website.
NW Andrology: I've seen the thread here with some recent favorable reviews, but I'm still a little worried about lots of unfavorable reviews on other websites.
Midwest was on our list because a couple we know raves about them, but even if they re-open, I'm a little sketched out by their recent sudden closing.
Many thanks for any advice or experiences you can share! Also, feel free to direct me to other threads if I'm missing information that already exists here.
Hi there,
Sperm shopping is both fun and creepy. I remember having those issues back in the day (ok, yesterday, maybe). I personally decided to go with ID-release. If I were adopting a baby I would prefer open adoption. I mean, I think family is experiences through life, but I think genes are awful cool, too. Everyone has different priorities, all you can really do is sleep on it. Will it ruin your life to go with anonymous? I doubt it. Might it enrich your kid's life to go willing to be known? Possibly.
Picking a bank is almost as hard as picking a donor. If you go with ID-release, you really want then to still be around when the kid turns 18. You want them to be clean and nice and honest. Because they were local to me, I used Pacific for my first. They were cheaper then. I'm using European Sperm Bank now because when I started they were cheaper than all the other id-release places.
Good luck in your quest for knowledge. There used to be a sticky at the top of the forum about picking banks. If you search you may find some good stuff. Also on the queer TTC thread it's been discussed in January or December, I think.
Hey Karma,
The board just ate my reply, so here's the short version!
My wife and I will begin TTC later this year, so I can't speak to bank experiences, but I did want to throw my two cents in on the ID release donor issue.
My mother found out at age 43 that she was adopted as an infant. Long story short, neither of her parents ever told her she was adopted, she discovered it on her own via DNA test, but only (very shortly) after both her parents were deceased. After months of searching, a private investigator found that her biological mother had passed away and there was no information on her biological father.
Not knowing who her father was or how he contributed to her genes has really taxed my mom and our family - half of our medical history is unaccounted for.
Although we receive medical information on anonymous donors, many times these donors are young men and they have yet to discover things about themselves. Things like genetic conditions or abnormalities or familial mental illness.
Getting an ID release donor does not require your child be in contact with their biological father, but it does give them the option. I know my mother would give anything to be able to know her father's name; meeting him would be a grand slam.
I cannot bear the idea of ever making my children resent myself or my wife for preventing them from knowing their biological history. It's not my place to keep their own biology from them - it's not the children's fault that my wife and I can't make a baby from just the two of us.
I beg you to not take this decision lightly - choosing an anonymous donor is the end of the line.
I wish you the best of luck on your journey, may it be short and sweet. Maybe I'll see you later this year in Queer Conceptions!

Mom and Mama to our Clever daughter (9.1.12), and cautiously expecting our rainbow baby after a miscarriage in February! We have a blog, too!
As far as sperm banks go, we decided to go with The Sperm Bank of California. We like that it is nonprofit, and they picture a lesbian couple on their homepage. They also supposedly have the most ID-release donors. They're certainly not the cheapest though. I do recommend choosing a bank with at least a few donors you'd be willing to use. Donors can sell out or become retired, and you don't want to be left high and dry.
Good luck!

TTC #1 since March 2010
Good luck with your decision. Just wanted to say, we used all anonymous donors (each girl has a different donor). As an adopted child myself, from a closed adoption, I never felt like there was something missing or that I would have been happier knowing my biological family, so I didn't feel the need to give my children that option (although they can find siblings if they choose to). My adoptive family was the only family I needed. We used Xytex bank for all the girls too and we LOVE them and know lots of other families who have used them too!

Thanks, everyone, for your feedback. Way to introduce myself to the group with an easy question, right?
Isa – Are you happy with Northwest? I really want to like them, but finding several negative reviews online scares me. Those reviews seem to be from a few years, ago, though.
Just to clarify, I didn't mean to sound like our leaning towards a non-id release donor is an unconsidered position or one that is based primarily on convenience. While I am not anti-id release donors by any means, we do feel like privileging id release donors places an emphasis on genetics that is discordant with our beliefs about what makes a family.
I also worked in a genetics lab for a few years, and that experience really left me feeling like genes are so much less important than environmental and social factors in determining life outcomes. Nearly all fatal or life-altering genetic abnormalities are likely to be found in childhood which means that if they're not caught by the bank, having an id-release donor isn't really all that helpful. And even among adult onset conditions that have a genetic component like heart disease or diabetes or cancers, the genetic component accounts for far less than environmental, lifestyle, and even random factors.
And, on a slightly more superficial level, we want a red-headed donor since I have strawberry blond hair that I always wished was redder, and red hair runs in dp's family. Since red headed donors are already hard to come by, limiting our donor choices to willing to be known donors means we have about three donors at two different banks from which to choose (after accounting for blood types and CMV status). Expanding our search to anonymous donors gives us 12-15 options at five different banks, including our two favorite profiles.
So, either way, we'll be compromising something – either the profiles we like best or knowing the identity of the donor. Oy! The first of many compromises and sacrifices on the road to parenthood, I'm sure.
Thanks again for your help, and feel free to continue sharing your experiences with different banks!
Good luck getting your ginger baby!

We like Northwest's customer service way better than Midwest. Although Midwest has good sperm counts, their limitations on offspring is a little sketchy IMO. There are hundreds for certain donors which is a little much. But we got pg with Midwest so we're happy in that respect. We hope they don't go out of buisness because we have 4 vials paid for and really want a full sibling for our DD. If you do go with Midwest donor 216 seems to make some red headed babies. If you are feeling strongly about an ID release donor, go for it. You don't want to regret the decision not to have one once you have already concieved.
We used Xytex. They were friendly and helpful. Once we had narrowed our donor pool down to (7 I think?), they were able to give us the average post-thaw motile sperm counts and also shared personal impressions of the donors.
Re: ID disclosure - In my opinion, use an ID disclosure donor. It's true, your child may not care about contacting their donor, but they may care very, very much. I'm on the DSR mailing list, and some of the donor-conceived adults that post are absolutely gutted by their inability to contact the donor. Reading what they have to say, and reading what adopted children who want to contact their bio-parents and can't say, I honestly cannot imagine using an anonymous donor. Because some children will be fine either way, but for other children it's like a constant gaping wound. It's just not a gamble I would want to take.
And bright-side - If you use an ID disclosure donor, you'll be choosing from a much smaller list, which may cut down on the creepy-baby-engineering feeling you were describing! Which, btw I totally get. Picking a donor felt very strange.
The incredibly true adventures of two girls in love. Also starring DS 12/09 and !
You might consider reading the COLAGE Donor Insemination Guide. It's written by and for kids of queers conceived via donor sperm, but was great for us to read as parents. It nicely laid out how the common issues might play out for kids with anonymous, ID release or known donors, and had a positive but realistic tone throughout. Pretty much everything Colage puts out is right on the nose, in terms of both affirming our families, and identifying the struggles our kids might have. I would have loved to have that as a resource before we chose sperm, but it didn't exist then! No matter what, good luck.
I used a non-ID release donor but there is so much info in the donor profile that I Googled his identity in less than an hour. Either way, I see what you are saying about the ID-release thing being discordant with your philosophy. If you do chose ID-release, you should read all the info in their profile a bit more carefully and ask yourself if that sounds like someone you would be ok with your child meeting.
As for choosing the donor, I had a few things that were non-negotiable so it narrowed down the list a lot. To pick from the remaining group, I focused on family health history and gave a little bit of consideration to personality (I am very calm and quiet and dorky so I looked for that). If I had a partner, I would have tried to match the donor to my partner as much as possible. I do see how that can also get weird but it still seems like a logical way to go about it.
In the end, don't over think it cause it make even the sanest person crazy if too much time is spent on it. I have seen people cry for days after finding out that their 1st choice was no longer available. Don't let that happen to you.
Oh, and I used Fairfax (only Fairfax and Xytex are available in Canada). I like the audio clips they have. There is nothing quite as funny as a college student trying to answer questions about why he chose to donate sperm.
I used a KD so haven't shopped for sperm in the same way as you! However, I think if I had gone with a bank I would have definitely chosen ID release. I don't feel like genetic connections make a family and I know several people who were adopted who are very happy with having no knowledge of their bio family at all. However, I would not feel comfortable making that decision for my child. Who knows what he or she will want! I feel like, given the choice, if I could at least provide that option for my child to make their own decision about it, it seems more fair somehow. The kid may not have any interest but they might and that slight chance would be a decision maker for me.

Selecting the right stain
When I bought my house just over 5 years ago, the first thing I did was rip up the carpet throughout the living, dining, 2 bedrooms and hallway, sanded the oak floors, and stained them with a red oak stain. Now we're thinking about tearing the carpet off the stairs leading up to our bedroom and staining the stairs, landing and floors up there, but just wondering. The stairs lead down to the hallway which is stained in red oak. Would it look awkward if we stained the stairs in the ebony color? Does anyone have any other suggestions we should consider? Should we maybe look into laying new carpet on just the stairs and finish the landing/floors upstairs with the stain instead? Any input is appreciated :thumbsup:
Ebony will show every speck of dirt.
I would use the same color of stain on the stairs. Or if you totally want ebony, then the other possibility may be to refinish the floors and use ebony on both the floors and stairs.
Just so you can see what we have, here's a picture of what we're working with
After talking with the wife about it, we've agreed on doing a carpet runner. Something kind of like this, but different colors obviously.
I've looked up on a couple how-to tutorials and doesn't look to be too complicated. I think you guys are right though, might just stick with the same color stain throughout. It's just that with the color we chose to paint the room, an ebony stain would flow a lot better, but red oak goes with just about anything too. Thanks for your input!

Know the issues involved when considering public versus private schools. Read more about these considerations in this article.
As a parent, you're always looking out for your children, trying to make the best decisions for them and their futures. When it comes to schooling, parents often have to work out whether to send their children to private school or keep them in public school. Hopefully this article will help you decide which school is best for your family. We'll first talk generally about some of the different factors that impact decisions regarding public and private schools. Then we'll go over some national statistics regarding public and private schools. Finally we'll leave you with a conclusion that should help you decide what is best for you.
Factors affecting Private versus Public school decisions
- Academic reputation and college preparation
- School size and Class size
- Safety reputation
- Special programs
- Costs
- Religious and Moral instruction
- Location
- Ideology
Academic reputation plays a big role when considering private versus public schools. School systems vary greatly in their academic reputation. For as many wonderful public schools that exist, there are also those that perform under the bar. Unfortunately for most families, children must go to the public school that their home is zoned in. Usually there is a perceived or statistically supported issue with a public school's academic record that flags a parent's concern and willingness to move their child into a private school.Private schools usually have a more rigorous academic reputation. But within the public school system, Charter Schools and Magnet schools both blur the distinction between public and private schools. Related to the academic reputation is the focus of the school on college preparation. Within the public school system, the percent of children that go on to college differs depending on the location of the school. You can't lump all the schools together. However, you can look at the school's overall focus and whether it is on college preparation or not (and whether that is your shared focus).School Size and Class Size can be correlated to a school's ability to execute on its academic goals. Basically, when a school gets too big, it can become burdensome to administer. Students and programs may fall into the cracks. But a school that is too small may not have enough money to support specialized programs. Class size is another factor that parents will look into when considering private or public school. How many children will the classroom teacher be responsible? What is the overall student to teacher ratio? Usually, the smaller the class size, the more attention each individual student will receive.Safety at school and the general school environment is another factor that parents use to decide whether or not to keep their children in public school or move them into private school. Many public schools have perfectly safe environments, yet in some school districts, children may be safer in private schools. Some of this may have to do with the fact that private schools may pick and choose who they enroll, therefore keeping their classroom milieu safer.Special programs impact parents in two different ways when considering private versus public schooling. Because public schools have a responsibility to teach all students, public schools often have in place special programs for children with special needs, be they academic or developmental in nature. Private schools, while they may have special programs for gifted students, will rarely have programs for children with special needs unless that is what the private school specializes in. There are also other kinds of special programs, for example, ones that specialize in the arts. Military, boarding, and single-sex programs are usually only found in a private setting.Cost is another important factor that impacts the private school versus public school decision. Simply put, private schools charge tuition whereas public schools are offered free of charge. For many parents, this is the hardest factor with which to come to terms.A factor that plays a large role in parents deciding whether to send their children to public or private school is whether or not they want religious and or moral instruction to play a part of their children's academic setting. Overall, religious and moral instruction does not play a part of public schooling.Location is as important a factor as any other when considering whether to enroll your children in a public school or a private school. For public schools, you are either within the zoning district of the public school you want or not. If you are, then you don't need to worry about anything. If you aren't, you'll need to consider whether relocating your family is desirable and feasible in order to get your children enrolled in your public school of choice.
However, many states have instituted school choice programs that allow families who are not residents of a district to apply for admission for their child to attend that district. Oftentimes the receiving district is paid tuition to cover the expenses of educating the child by the sending district or even by the child's family. Regardless, school choice programs provide some flexibility for parents who want their child to attend a public school.
For private schools, you'll need to consider if the location is feasible for your family. Public schools provide transportation to and back from schools. Private schools may or may not.Finally, for many families, a final factor that impacts their decision making process is their ideology regarding private schools or public schools, classism, elitism, etc. Parents are not usually on the fence about this factor. They either believe that going to private school is okay or they believe that going to a public school is better in the theoretical sense.Private and Public School StatisticsNow that we understand some of the main factors that families consider when deciding whether to enroll their children in private or public school, let's look at the facts. Here are statistics on both private and public schools in America:
However, many states have instituted school choice programs that allow families who are not residents of a district to apply for admission for their child to attend that district. Oftentimes the receiving district is paid tuition to cover the expenses of educating the child by the sending district or even by the child's family. Regardless, school choice programs provide some flexibility for parents who want their child to attend a public school.
For private schools, you'll need to consider if the location is feasible for your family. Public schools provide transportation to and back from schools. Private schools may or may not.
Academic Programs
The charter school movement is also picking up momentum in many states. These schools are public but offer specialized programs and smaller classes and are governed by a board of directors (usually consisting of parents and community members). Charter schools have become more popular over the last decade. As of 2011, charter school legislation had passed in 41 states and the District of Columbia. There are not that many charter schools in the United States when compared to the number of traditional public schools. However, the number of charter schools is steadily growing. According to the Center for Education Reform, there were approximately 3,400 public charter schools in the US as of 2005. That figure increased to 5,300 schools in 2011 according to a 2013 report by the U.S. Department of Education. Overall enrollment in charter schools also increased, from 340,000 students in 2000 to nearly 1.8 million students in 2011.

Magnet schools are yet another public school option for families. Magnet schools are part of the public school system, however, enrollment in magnet schools is not controlled by neighborhood boundaries. Instead, students must apply to be admitted to the school. Magnet schools generally have public as well as private funding, which allows the school to offer a wider variety of educational programs, teacher trainings, equipment and the like. Many magnet schools have a specialized instructional focus. For example, a magnet school might specialize in the performing arts, science and technology or have a career-technical focus. According to the NCES, there were 2,700 magnet schools in the United States as of 2011.
Private schools have the flexibility to create specialized programs for students. For example, private schools may use art or science in all classes, or take children on outdoor trips. They can create their own curriculum and assessment systems, although many choose to use standardized tests. Many parents are drawn to the alternative curriculums that private schools have to offer.
School Financial Support System
Public schools depend on government funds (local, state, and federal) and occasionally on funds from corporations and organizations.
Public schools are, on average, at least twice the size of private schools, according to US Department of Education Data. School size usually correlates to the population density of the local area. The average private school had 193 students in 1999–2000, whereas the average public school has 517 students, according to the NCES. The average public school had 535 students in the same area. Another way to look at this is to see that 80 percent of private schools have less than 300 students enrolled while only 29percent of public schools have less than 300 students enrolled.
Class Size
Another aspect besides the actual class size is the student-to-teacher ratio. This is different from the actual classroom head count because a school may have extra teachers that help set up programs or help with special coursework. According to the NCES, as of 2009, private schools averaged 12.5 students per teacher, compared with an average of 15.4 students per teacher in public schools. Another way to look at this is to see how many schools have a student/teacher ratio less than 10. Thirty-six percent of private schools have a student-to-teacher ratio lower than 10 to 1, whereas only 10 percent of public schools have student-to-teacher ratios lower than 10 to 1.
If you feel your child would learn better in a smaller setting, then you'll need to look towards private school. If, however, you child works well in larger groups, public school may be the way to go.
If you feel your child would learn better in a smaller setting, then you'll need to look towards private school. If, however, you child works well in larger groups, public school may be the way to go.
Quality of Teachers
Public schools cannot terminate the terms of their teachers abruptly. After completing a probationary period, teachers are granted tenure by law. They cannot be dismissed without first going through a twelve-month rehabilitation period. This too, can only be done after a public hearing in which charges of incompetence or misconduct must be proven.
Another aspect that needs attention is regarding children with special needs. Special education laws make it mandatory for public schools to educate and meet the special needs of these children. Therefore, most of the public schools have special programs and teachers for these students. Public school systems often will have specialized schools to support children with multiple special needs.
Public schools are obligated by law to educate all children, so to enroll in a public school you simply register your child by filling out the necessary forms. Public schools must accept any resident student who applies for admission, regardless of sex, race, religious affiliation, economic status or physical or mental handicap. Public schools must also meet state graduation requirements, which vary state by state. Public schools can kick children out if their behavior is too disruptive; but the public school system will usually have in place an alterative school that the child will attend until they are no longer under the care of the public (18 years of age).
In public schools, all students are admitted. In private schools, students must apply and then are invited to enroll.
Public schools are required to provide academic and health-related services under Federal and state laws. More schools provide extended-day programs. Free and reduced-price meals must be provided to all qualified low-income students.
Private schools are permitted, but not required, to participate in the federal lunch and breakfast programs.
Public schools are not religiously affiliated, but many private schools are religiously affiliated. In a 2009 NCES study of private schools, 68 percent of all private schools were found to have a religious affiliation, with 22 percent of those affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church and another 13 percent identified with a non-denominational Christian church.
Student populations vary on race/ethnicity, and limited-English proficiency status.
According to the NCES, as of 2009, 74 percent of all private school students were White, compared to 58 percent of public school students. The private school sector as a whole has lower proportions of Black and Hispanic students than the public school sector.
Private schools are less likely than public schools to enroll students who are eligible for the National School Lunch Program. The eligibility rate for the National School Lunch Program is a reasonable proxy for the incidence of school poverty in public schools but is a less reliable measure in private schools. Approximately 25 percent of private school respondents in 1999–2000 did not know whether any of their students were eligible. Virtually all public schools (99 percent) had students eligible for subsidized lunches, about twice the percentage for private schools (49 percent). As of 2009, anywhere from 20 percent to 69 percent of public school students were eligible for free or reduced lunch, depending upon their state of residence. Older data shows that about 10 percent of students at private schools, on average, were eligible.

Toyota "Recall" Will End Up Being a Positive For Brand
Toyota yesterday instructed 3.8 million vehicle owners to take the floor mats out of their cars, trucks and SUVs.
News reports to the contrary, Toyota is officially calling this a "safety advisory" and says it has not yet issued a recall. But it's more like a directive in real life.
"Sudden Acceleration" is the reason for the action. It turns out there have been a few cases of people suddenly accelerating out of control with some fatal consequences because the mat got caught up in the accelerator pedal.
"Sudden Acceleration" is a scary terrible phrase in the auto industry. Worse than "gas taxes" to American drivers. Audi took a beating in the late 1980s and 1990s after CBS's Sixty Minutes gave a spotlight to some trial lawyers whose clients had claimed "sudden acceleration" was to blame for some accidents. Audi issued denials. But the story dragged on. Investigations were done. There was never any finding that a design or engineering flaw in an Audi was to blame. Yet, enormous damage was done to Audi sales and the brand. It has only been in the last five years or so that people have let the false charges of sudden acceleration drift into the archives of their memories.
Today, Audi vehicles are world-class competitors to Mercedes, BMW and Lexus, and the brand is one of the fastest growing in the category worldwide.
Toyota has had some recalls for engine sludge, bad ball joints, etc. Its own management has admitted that it grew too fast, especially in the U.S., and took its eye off the ball in terms of quality amidst all that growth.
The last thing the company needed to do in this sales-challenged economy was deny any responsibility. And easy for them, all they have to do is tell the owners to take the factory-issued mats out of the vehicles. My belief is that while it is the single biggest "directive" of its kind, the act of dealing with it straight-up will be a plus for Toyota. Even better would be if they came up with a fix to the problem: anchored mats. Then, they could give everybody nice clean, new mats that don't bunch up.
I have to straighten out the mats in my own cars from time to time because they ride up into the pedal area. It's common sense. But assuming common sense is wide spread is a dangerous thing to do.
Now, the search goes on to see what company has the smartest mat design that prevents the problem. Then, let every automaker copy that good design, eh?
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Twinsburg murder suspect Glenn Wong, accused in the Feb. 24 fatal stabbing of his wife in their Abrams Drive home, has waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Stow Municipal Court, and will be bound over to the Summit County Court of Common Pleas.
Wong's attorney, Brian Pierce, said bail, which was set Feb. 25 by Judge Lisa Coates at $1 million cash, will be addressed again at the common pleas level. At the common pleas court, a grand jury will address the felony charge of aggravated murder and decide whether to indict Wong. An arraignment at the county level would follow the indictment.
Twinsburg The Summit County Medical Examiner has ruled the Feb. 24 stabbing death of 46-year-old Abrams Drive resident Tami Wong a homicide by multiple and incised wounds.
According to the Feb. 26 ruling by Dr. Lisa Kohler, Wong suffered fatal stab wounds to the chest, head, back and arm during a domestic situation with her husband of 11 years just after 7 a.m. at the couples 3180 Abrams Drive home.
Glenn Wong, 50, an engineer by trade, was arrested by Twinsburg police Feb. 24 at the home without incident and charged with aggravated murder.
Wong, appearing in the Stow court March 4 in a red and white striped jumpsuit handcuffs and leg restraints, waived his preliminary hearing and will be bound over to Summit County Court of Common Pleas, where a grand jury will decide whether to indict Wong on the aggravated murder charge. An arraignment would follow the indictment at the common pleas court.
Coates on Feb. 25 set bail at $1 million cash for Wong, who remains in custody at Summit County jail. He appeared by video from the jail in Stow Municipal Court Feb. 25, when he pleaded not guilty to the aggravated murder charge.
Akron-based Brian Pierce, of Gorman Malarcik and Pierce, appeared with Wong March 4 but declined comment on the case.
He has some assets, and he does not have a prior record, Twinsburg Law Director David Maistros said Feb. 25. If he is to post bail, the judge [mandated] that he must turn in his passport and wear a GPS monitor around his ankle. I think the court did a nice job in ensuring [Wong] will be around for trial.
Tami Wong, a private court reporter with Akron-based Mehler and Hagestrom and more recently Bish & Associates in Wadsworth, was found stabbed multiple times in a first-floor bedroom just after 7 a.m., according to Twinsburg police. Twinsburg EMS transported her to the Cleveland Clinic Twinsburg Family Health and Surgery Center, where she later died.
Two children, a son, 8, and daughter, 10, the latter of whom called 911, were in the home at the time of the stabbing and were uninjured, Twinsburg police said. The children are staying with a relative.

Tess Vigeland: Commentator Gustavo Arellano says all this frugal living has a 'been there, done that' quality for him.
Gustavo Arellano: Canning. Food trucks. Knitting. Urban homesteading. Home brewing. The rise of these DIY activities amuses me. Don't get me wrong: I'm all for people growing their own food and sewing their own clothes. These are the new ways of life in middle-class America, a way to save money during the recession. But I gotta ask: What took you guys so long to become Mexican?
All these trends are, well, old habits for my circle of relatives and amigos. Butchering a pig? My Tia Maria can do that, and doesn't have to blog every organ of it. Preserving your own food? My mom devotes an entire wall in her garage to jar after jar of pickled cactus. She's ready for California's much-feared big earthquake. Organic gardening? Her sisters each grow specific crops, then they trade produce.
This is how we've lived life as an immigrant family. Even after my parents made it, they kept their frugal ways. Why? They knew the good times might not last. And guess what? They didn't! Yet our quality of life hasn't truly suffered -- all because we were prepared.
Self-sustainment is what made this country great. But we seem to have relegated this preservation mentality to the rubes and the immigrants, the poor and the old. And it's annoying, because when young professionals and the socially hip raise chickens in their backyards, newspapers do articles with slideshows. When us Mexicans do it? People call code enforcement. But, whatever: Preserve, America! Live like us Mexicans. And save your next batch of kiwi-strawberry marmalade for your humble commentator.
