Does the state of PA owe you MONEY? Find out
Have you ever checked with the PA Dept of Revenue to see if you have unclaimed money? I did this several years ago and found almost $800 from an old insurance policy that wasn't properly delivered.
I get it.. this sounds like one of those dumb scams. Believe me, there's no Nigerian prince or anything else... this is run by the PA DEPT OF REVENUE and is legit. They want you to claim your money! If this was shady i wouldn't put my name next to it.
It's worth checking out

According to a recent national survey conducted by the Travel Industry Association (www.tia.org) and Ypartnership (www.ypartnership.com), nearly nine out of ten American adults surveyed claim to be environmentally conscious, noting that they turn off the lights when leaving a room, regulate air conditioning and heating temperatures when not at home and recycle. As more and more Americans jump onto the green initiative band wagon, many hotel operators are following suit as well by applying a wide variety of green implementations. In fact, 21 percent of hotels are planning to incorporate Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) standards into their properties within the next 12 months, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association's (AH&LA) (www.ahla.com) 2008 Lodging Survey. Yet the question remains: Do these environmental concerns really represent a market opportunity for the hotel and travel industry? The answer is yes.
"The people who love it really love it and the people who are into it are very for it," says Yuan Sing Chang, VP of development for the Atman Hospitality Group (www.atmanhospitalitygroup.com), owners of the Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa, a Gold-LEED certified hotel. "It seems that from the last three to four years the awareness has completely switched and people are willing to pay for it. Three-to-four years ago, there was a small percentage and now there are more people. There is a big majority there."
This sentiment also extends to the travel industry in general. Ypartnership/ Yankelovich's 2008 National Travel MONITOR also notes that four out of ten leisure travelers would probably select an environmentally friendly travel supplier if they knew about the supplier's commitment to the environment, with nearly half stating that they are willing to pay higher fares or rates for
the services provided by such suppliers.
Linen and towel reuse programs and in-room lighting and temperature energy conservation are the top ways that hotels are leading a green life, according to AH&LA's Green Assessment Survey, noting that the purpose of which is to not only preserve the environment, but to build guest loyalty.
For more information on the many green initiatives and how the hotel industry is taking great strides to meet LEED standards, visit www.htmagazine.com and be sure to read our 2008 July/August issue's cover story, "Green Hotels."

Now is a good time to look at Jyn Erso! This is the same figure that went up for pre-order today, but with different exlcusive packaging. You may as well get one. Read on!
If you've been waiting, HasbroToyShop.com added its 2016 SDCC Exclusives including Star Wars Kylo Ren, Jyn Erso, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. These are sold out. However, some other items like Micronauts and Transformers remain. Click here to see inventory.
Update: August 9! Be there!
Correction: While we don't have a time or date yet, we're told to expect HasbroToyShop.com to post the date of sale for its remaining SDCC 2016 exclusives Tuesday. This would include any remaining 6-inch Jyn Erso (standard figure with photos, unique packaging), Obi-Wan Kenobi (unique packaging and electornic accessory), and Rilo Kiley (Kylo Ren helmet, unmasked head, unique package, Vader helmet, base, flag). At press time I do not have a confirmation that variant head Kylo Ren is or isn't coming out down the road - so you may want to keep reloading to get these, whenever that time may be.
No 3 3/4-inch figures were sold at the show. (For Star Wars.)
It's that time - you have to vote now, as that's the headline at StarWars.com's article Vote Now for the Next Black Series Figure!! Darth Talon, Starkiller, Jaina Solo, Mara Jade, and Captain Rex all made 5 out of our Top 6 so I'm quite astonished to see that reflected on the official site's final voting. I won't tell you who I voted for, but if you click here now you can see the current results when you place your vote.
Nerdist revealed a surprisingly early burst of looks at new Rebels and movie products which, no doubt, will be part of the Rogue One branded offering during the final months of 2016. Highlights include:
Hera's A-Wing (oooh)
Electronic 12-inch Kanan Jarrus
Electronic 12-inch Darth Vader
12-inch ROTJ Speeder Bike with Biker Scout
3 3/4-inch Jakku Rey in Scavenger Outfit
We're back with Fan's Choice! Hasbro has asked for your input on the next new action figure. It's going to be just like last year - you can leave a comment below or
email me at this address, (it's over) and I'll tally the results. Like last year we got Sabine Wren and Darth Revan, this is your chance to vote for a future 6-inch The Black Series action figure.
Additional notes added July 7: Please do not request figures that have already been released or announced. Please do not send duplicate entries. Please do not send a list of characters - only one will be counted.
Here are the rules per edict of Hasbro:
They said it would never happen - or did they? Funko posted a new announcement with a Star Wars thumbs-up BB-8 with torch, Han Solo with bowcaster, and Indiana Jones! Really! He's got the idol and the whip, so choke on that Satipo.
C-3PO is coming to Comic-Con at Entertainment Earth! This 20-inch scale action figure is the first-ever C-3PO in this size, and it comes complete with a shiny gold metal finish you won't find anywhere else. Click here to see it and more details, but you can't pre-order it - it's only available at booth #2343 in San Diego!
While Hasbro remains silent on their plans for the big show, Mattel rolled out a classic with this one. A Death Star Trench Race set has 3 TIE Fighters and an X-Wing, but in car form with enhanced deco and electronics. $50 for four cars in a fancy box - if you can swing it.
More photos have been added to our SDCC 2015 Image Bank featuring Sideshow, eFX Collectibles, LEGO, Acme Archives, Jakks, Hot Wheels, the Lucasfilm Pavilion, and more photos from the Convention floor.
Hasbro adds Season 2 Rex and the second Inquisitor to their booth. These figures are slated for release in Spring 2016 along with Mission Series Ahsoka Tano and Darth Vader. Rex features a nice removable helmet that perfectly on his bald and bearded noggin. Here's hoping a Season 2 Wolf is not far behind, although this figure will be probably require swappable heads.
Hasbro plans on the big reveals after their SDCC panel today at 12 PT. While the bulk of Episode 7 product won't be officially released until Force Friday in September, we've been told there will be some exciting reveals today. Be sure to check back for our report.
We have uploaded SDCC15 photos from the Gentle Giant and Kotobukiya booths as well as plenty of Views from the Convention Floor. Be sure to peruse all the visual goodness that include an awesome Kenner Jumbo
Guess what - next week your sneak preview figure goes up for sale in San Diego! It's today's Figure of the Day. Read about Stormtrooper (First Order) right now, or don't. It comes in a neat slipcase with a booklet hidden in the back. I've got many pictures for you if you read on!
My pal who I will call Juan Nonymous sent along sample shots of the Jabba's Rancor Pit gift set Jabba the Hutt in comparison with the 2010 model from Walmart. This new-for-2015 version is a 100% new mold with new deco, meaning it is... say it with me...
"Just different enough to make you mad." Well, not Jabba, Jabba's new and interesting. The rest of the set is as interesting as your collection isn't - it's great stuff if you don't got it yet. This set will be sold at the Entertainment Earth Booth at Comic-Con next week, on Toys R Us.com, and probably retail stores too. Want to see more images? Check after the jump.

Antony Davies & James Harrigan: Data disprove arguments against liquor privatization
"Nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Ben Franklin, the most famous Pennsylvanian, wrote these words in 1789. Had he lived today, he might have added another item: the regular challenge to Pennsylvania's state stores.
Every few years a Pennsylvania legislator dares to challenge the state's control of alcohol markets. And every few years calls for privatization fail spectacularly. Case in point: In June, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai introduced a plan to get the state out of the liquor business. Turzai's plan called for selling 1,600 liquor licenses to private vendors. Some estimates claim the plan could have raised $2 billion for Pennsylvania.
Predictably, the proposal fell as soon as it was introduced. The House barely discussed the matter and no vote was taken. The message for Turzai and his supporters (including Gov. Corbett) is clear — when it comes to Pennsylvania's alcohol markets, state control is here to stay.
The recurring alcohol debate raises two larger questions:
Why does Pennsylvania maintain an alcohol monopoly? And why do our legislators fight to keep it despite the fact that 60 percent of Pennsylvanians support privatization?
Proponents of alcohol control argue that we need the state involved because alcohol is bad. If that's true, then why do they argue that the state should sell alcohol? Pennsylvania should outlaw alcohol altogether just as many towns and counties across the United States have done.
Further, the data show that states that operate alcohol monopolies actually have more on-premise and off-premise alcohol establishments than do states that leave alcohol sales to the private sector. In other words, the free market actually places fewer alcohol sellers on the streets than does the state.
Not wanting to advocate across-the-board prohibition, proponents of state control then argue that we need the state involved to keep alcohol out of the hands of some people, notably drivers and minors. Again, the data are a problem.
To take two examples, look at New Jersey and Tennessee, both of which have fully privatized their alcohol markets. The percentage of traffic fatalities due to alcohol is 50 percent higher in Pennsylvania than in New Jersey. The incidence of underage drinking in Pennsylvania is 36 percent higher than in Tennessee.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy recently began a website that allows you to compare social outcomes for states that control their alcohol markets to states that don't. Regardless of the social outcome, the data show no relationship between alcohol controls and improved social outcomes.
Having lost the nanny-state arguments, proponents of alcohol controls lately have been falling back on the argument that state stores provided a necessary source of revenue.
But the data is no friend here either.
In 2010-11 the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board earned a paltry $50 million for the state. Almost any licensure plan could eclipse that number. That licensing was barely considered is telling.
Every argument in favor of state stores fails. State liquor control will not make us more sober, safer or richer. Preserving jobs isn't even a viable argument since private vendors would need to hire experienced workers, and who better than the former state store workers?
The only thing left to justify the Liquor Control Board is that it keeps union bosses employed in their quarter-million dollar jobs. And since those bosses deliver votes, our legislators are very interested in keeping them happy.
Pennsylvania has held this tight grip on alcohol since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. It is time to admit that there is a better way.

SuperRope is a simple casual game for Android where your main goal is to get as high as possible and get all the coins by climbing from rope to rope, avoiding the traps and falling objects and trying not to fall down.
You can choose the hero (only one is unlocked at first) and the world (the same). The difficulty levels are: easy, where the game is slow and there are no falling objects nor obstacles. In medium level is at normal speed with no falling objects while in Hard there's fast speed and all traps. As for the game mode, it's possible to slide your finger to move from rope to rope or tap on the screen, whichever it's best for you.
The graphics are great and so is the gameplay. It's not an easy game, quite a challenge even at the first difficulty level, as you need to find the perfect moment to jump from one rope to another, trying not to jump at the wrong time. The stars will allow you to buy different items at the store: characters, backgrounds and power ups.
Definitely, this game created by Craneballs Studios LLC is recommended for those who enjoy casual games and want to get addicted to a great new one. Fun, challenging and with a great design.

Exporting to DXF
For testing purposes, I exported about the simpliest thing I could think
of in 188.8.131.52:
Export["Dodecahedron.dxf", PolyhedronData["Dodecahedron"]]
I then tried to read in the DXF file in Zam3d (a XAML 3D package) and
also in 3DS Max. Both claimed it was an invalid DXF file. 3DS Max said
it had received "Error code e" whatever that means. Does anybody know
what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks!

MSNBC Sports Hacked
Gotta get your Milwaukee Bucks score every morning? Apparently, so do hackers. MSNBC Sports' web page was recently the victim of a major hack attack, compromising more than 26,000 pages. It's set off alarm bells for legitimate web sites, and highlights a new trend being forged by the web's most elite hackers.
The MSNBC attack was reported this past Tuesday by San Diego-based Websense Inc. The security company has been tracking the exploit for about a month, stumbling upon the MSNBC invasion while performing one of their many web scans. Other major sites that appear to be hit include TV.com, News.com, and History.com (oh, no! Not George Washington!). (Source: digitaljournal.com)
One group is being pinpointed as the culprits behind this rather impressive attack. Their scam isn't anything new; the hackers use the web pages to redirect traffic to a malicious javascript code hosted by increasingly infamous providers Intercage and the Russian Business Network. According to Websense's Stephan Chenette, both of these providers are gaining an international reputation for hosting malware.
Why are these sites being hit, and hit hard?
According to Chenette, it has something to do with their search power. "I'm labeling this attack as a search engine input optimization attack," he said. The search engine optimization techniques used by these sites -- which are meant to bring in as much traffic as possible -- are making them vulnerable to an input validation attack. (Source: itbusiness.ca)
MSNBC maintains that they were able to secure the breach within minutes of hearing their popular sports page had been compromised.

Importing data from Microsoft Money
Before beginning, note that Microsoft Money will not export an account you have closed in Microsoft Money to a QIF file. Re-open any closed accounts that you want to export before exporting from Microsoft Money.
In MS Money open the file that you want to export.
Select File -->Export.
Click Loose QIF, then click OK.
In the File Name box, type a name for the account that you want to export. Give the files descriptive names so that you don't get confused later.
- Investment accounts will require two files, one for the investment transactions and one for the cash transactions - this is because MS Money treats them as two separate accounts internally.
- Loan accounts cannot be exported. That's okay. You'll work around that limitation later.
Select the account type you want to export when prompted - click Regular or Investment, then click OK.
In the Account List box, click the account that you want to export, then click Continue.
When MS Money is finished exporting the account, click OK. You must repeat the steps above for each account you want to export.
Create the accounts in Moneydance before you begin importing the files. This is an important step.
- Make sure you name the accounts with the exact spelling used in MS Money.
- Make sure the currencies of your accounts are correctly set, especially if you are using multiple currencies.
- You'll need to create two accounts in Moneydance for each investment account. One will be of type "Investement" and the other will be "Bank". The bank account will contain the cash transactions from the investment from MSMoney. This is just a temporary account used for correctly importing the data. You will combine the transactions and delete this account later.
- Also create your loan accounts in Moneydance. Remember to use exact spelling or your data may not import correctly.
Import the QIF files. Make sure you land each QIF file into the corresponding account in Moneydance you created in the last step.
- Select Import -->"Quicken(TM) Interchange Format (QIF)" from the file menu.
- The "Import QIF File" will be displayed again. From this window set the "File Source:" to "From Another Program".
- From the "Import To:" option Select "Existing Account" and select the Moneydance account that you want to import the data into.
- Remember, to select the "Bank" account when importing the cash portion of the investment accounts. If you make a mistake (like importing into the wrong account) you'll probably need to start over so be extra careful. That's why you should give the QIF files descriptive names in step 3. If done correctly every account will get populated with the correct transactions...even the loan accounts. There shouldn't be any accounts or categories named "Imported Account" - If there are then you've made a mistake.
Move all transactions from the temporary "Bank" accounts you created for place holders for the cash portion of the investment accounts from MSMoney into the one and only corresponding investment account in Moneydance.
- To Move transactions select them in the "Bank" account by selecting the first transaction and then using shift-click to select the last transaction.
- Then right click on the select transactions and select "Batch Change"-> Account.
- Specify the investment account as the destination.
- Delete the temporary place holder account in Moneydance.
- Moneydance will contain the cash transactions in the root of the investment account, as it should be.
Edit the loan accounts in Moneydance. When you click done Moneydance will ask if you want to transfer the loan balance to another account. Select 'Yes' and choose the account that received the loan proceeds. This may be a checking account if it was an unsecured loan or it may be an asset account if there was an asset that was acquired. You may need to modify the transaction later to account for closing costs, etc.
Organize your accounts and categories the way you want. The Find and Replace extension can be very useful in changing the categories of a lot of transactions at once.
You may need to make a few balancing entries in some of the accounts to get things balanced correctly. That's because MSMoney is not a double-entry system and so things aren't required to balance there.
Hopefully your data has imported correctly - relax and feel good knowing that are now liberated from MS Money!

Figures, values and challenges
I trust that most of us have enjoyed some endearing moments with family during the Christmas season. Unfortunately, most good things in life come to an end quickly. Leading economists, international financial institutions, politicians and newsrooms are once again reminding us of the bleak economic forecast for the next 12 months.
I will attempt to look at the prevailing predicament from a different angle.
The landmark Papal encyclical Rerum Novarum, penned in 1891 by Pope Leo XIII, is as applicable today is it was over 100 years ago. The seven guiding principles of the encyclical are a light that can guide leaders in the troubled times we are in.
The dignity of the human person, the common good, subsidiarity, participation, solidarity, the right of private property and the universal destination of goods are the seven guiding principles that perhaps we need today to restore and gain back what has been lost over the past decade.
Policies and meaningful reforms must be based on sound values and principles. Short-term policies and make-belief solutions will only cause more hardship and pain to the people.
Some say that people vote with their feet. I beg to differ. Most vote with what's in their wallets, the young vote by judging their future prospects while retirees vote according to their state of pension and other services in health care.
The next 12 months are expected to challenge leaders of different organisations, not least political parties. What was experienced over the now late 2011 and the preceding years has surprised most but has also inspired many more to take new challenges. Malta has taken the challenge and, to my mind, succeeded.
Much has been said about the Greek economic tragedy, the laid back attitude of the Spaniards, the fall of the colourful political class in Italy and the nationwide industrial strikes by the Portuguese. Even the Irish had to let go of their tiger from the economy while the passive British had to take to the streets to show their anger. Others opted for other measures.
People are feeling the brunt of the austerity measures that their respective governments had to take to control the deficit, which was too big to service due to higher interest rates. It stands to reason that if the risks are high then interest rates are higher and if these are higher then servicing the deficit will become more strenuous on the taxpayer. People are caught between a rock and a hard place and they had to let off steam and frustration in the streets. Not that this has changed much; if anything this has made things worse.
Higher unemployment rates continued to appear in most of the EU countries.
England now has the highest number of unemployed in the last 17 years with over 2.6 million seeking work, of which one million are youths.
The latest statistics show that, in December 2011, France also registered the highest number of job seekers with 2.85 million. This figure is the highest recorded in France in the last 12 years.
Austria has the lowest unemployment rate with 4.1 per cent while Spain has a massive unemployment rate of 22.8 per cent.
In Malta, 6,500 are unemployed. We should not at any moment rest because our figures are low. On the contrary, every effort should be made to find employment to all those who express the wish to work.
Unemployment figures clearly indicate the rate of economic success or failure. Understandably, people complain about a variety of issues which they may feel are socially unjust but productive work remains the highest value.
Unlike many other contests, in the case of unemployment, countries which score the least fare best on this scoreboard. Malta has a very favourable placing notwithstanding the prevailing economic turbulence.
The employment rate is important not just from the workers' point of view.
This rate underscores the fact that Malta knows how to steer an economy.
Malta is intertwined with the world's economy and a financial crunch in one country or other impacts directly on our businesses and employment levels.
As is said in many adverts, the past is not necessarily a guarantee for the future. However, the recent past and the present give Malta hope for the future.
The fundamental tenets of Rerum Novarum may well be a guiding instrument in the economic woes that are hitting most countries of the world.
Malta proves to be a good example to follow.

Walmart store manager celebrates 22 years and new Indio store
INDIO, Calif. - David Murphy began his journey working for Walmart in 1992.
"I actually started in Redlands when I was 17 years old," said Murphy.
Murphy spent nights unloading store trucks and worked his way up the employment ladder.
Twenty-two years later, he's helped manage seven Walmarts in the southland and will open the new Super Walmart in north Indio Oct. 8 as store manager for the first time.
He can't do it alone. The store is looking to hire 300 full and part-time workers. A hiring center has opened at 43990 Golf Center Parkway at the corner of Avenue 44. You can apply for work there on weekdays from 8 a.m until 5 p.m. or online at careers.walmart.com
Murphy's seen about 600 job seekers come fill out applications at the center.
"I don't really mind which position I get I just really need this job," said Mayra Rosas, of Coachella.
"A lot of good foot traffic. The folks out here are excited to start working and I'd be happy to hire them."
The hiring process is a reminder of what it takes to succeed within the company.
"You need to work hard. Be a team player, be apart of the community," said Murphy.
In September, employees will get to work and stock the shelves to help ready the new Indio on Monroe and Ave 42.

From the "White House White Board" to Glenn Beck's blackboard, it seems like everyone's trying to spell out fundamental political concepts using methods usually reserved for elementary school teachers. Does this say something about their opinions of American voters?
Anyway, here we have Austin Goolsbee, current chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, helpfully taking to the administration's special white board to argue that President Obama actually didn't change his stance much when he announced his latest tax-cut plan last week. —KA

Latest Newscast: Christie Says He Knew Nothing, While Associate Takes Fifth
Here are the latest headlines from the WNYC Newsroom.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says he knew nothing of a plan by some of his closest aides to create traffic jams as political payback to a town mayor. He adds that he was stunned by what he calls the "abject stupidity that was shown." The governor today announced the firing of his deputy chief of staff. Meanwhile, the Christie associate and former Port Authority official at the center of the scandal, David Wildstein, was held in contempt by an Assembly committee, after refusing to answer members' questions.
A new report from the real estate firm Douglas Elliman shows rents in Manhattan have stopped going up. But that isn't necessarily good news for renters. The firm doesn't expect rents to decline anytime soon either.
President Obama has laid out his new initiative for reducing poverty and creating jobs by focusing on specific economic "Promise Zones." The first five areas are San Antonio, Texas; Southeastern Kentucky; Philadelphia; Los Angeles; and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
Relations between the U.S. and Afghanistan could deteriorate further, now that scores of prisoners considered a security threat by the U.S. are being released. Afghan President Hamid Karzai says there's not enough evidence against them.
Cloudy tonight, with some flurries or freezing drizzle possible late and into Friday morning; low 29. Tomorrow clouds remain but the temperature hits 40. Rain Saturday, with temperatures reaching into the mid-50s.

Now the Glofiish was announced last summer… apparently. To be honest, anabolics the name doesn't stand out in my memory. Anyhow, clinic the handset failed to materialise and it looked like the Glofiish was to glow no more!
E-TEN have now been taken over by Acer. We lover Acer, right? And according to Clove Technology, the little Glofiish is being reinvented as the Acer DX900.
The DX900 is a dual-SIM, touch-screen smartphone. The first SIM slot being tri-band UMTS/3.5G, with quad-band GSM support. The second is only tri-band GSM, with no 3G support.
The handset runs on a 533MHz Samsung S3C 6400 processor, has 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM and runs on a 1530mAh battery. It comes with built in GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, mini-USB, microSD slot, TV-out functionality and a headset audio jack.
It uses Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system and comes with the usual office mobile tools and applications; Microsoft Office Mobile, Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile, Internet Explorer Mobile, MSN Messenger, Windows Live, Windows Media Player 10 and much more. It is also enhanced with extra Acer/E-TEN applications and tools for ease of use.
It features a 3.0 megapixel camera with autofocus and a secondary 0.3 megapixel front facing camera.
The phone itself measures 106x61x17mm and it weighs 147 grams. It has a nice, large 2.8inch high quality VGA screen (640x480pixel).
With a pretty hefty price tag of £454, how popular will this smartphone be? Pre-order the Acer DX900 now at Clove Technology. They are expecting the handset to arrive late February.

That very thing happened to me last night!
I was packaging up my new stamp sets (available HERE!) and was using these bags that were the perfect width, but were far too long. I had to cut off about half of it in order to put my customized wrapper on top. What a waste!
But wait......
TA-DA!! Isn't this AWESOME?! I bought this lovely thing about three years ago at one of my favorite stores - American Science and Surplus in Milwaukee. It is in PERFECT condition - I'm willing to be that this was sitting in some warehouse somewhere for the last 40 years. I paid $2.95 for it and was planning on using it solely for the awesome kitch factor here on the box....
|See the 1970 copyright at the bottom?
I was 2 when this product was made! :D
....and in this instruction booklet, too! But because I didn't want to waste the other half of the bag, I thought I'd give it a try.
You can tell that this product is from 1970 - check out the directions! There's no idiot-proofing, no legalese, no ridiculous safety precautions - in fact, on the first page it says it's so easy, even a child can use it! That would NEVER fly today - can you imagine the lawsuits?
Oh, and take a gander at this two-pronged plug - YIKES!!! When's the last time you saw one of these? And thanks for letting me know that's it's a plug by including the universal sign for "shock" right on the thing! :D
My kit didn't come with the roll of plastic that was supposed to be included, but I didn't need it anyway and after 43 years, I'm sure it would've been as brittle as old cellophane tape.
Okay! I'm ready to use the machine! Ready, set....nothin'. (Oh, but can we talk for a minute about the AWESOME "wood" paneling paired with the au courant avocado fashion color? SWOON!)
I'm ashamed to tell you that apparently this idiot needs those new-fangled instructions - I waited for the little light to come on before I tried it. Well, that didn't work because the only time the light is on is when it's sealing the bag. DERP.
After some tinkering (and yes, I did burn my finger slightly when I checked to see if the coil was working), SUCCESS!
See that nice sealed line? That's American manufacturing quality at its finest!
Best $2.95 I've ever spent. And now, if you purchase one of my stamp sets, you just might get one of these self-sealed bags, 43 years in the making! :D

A Look At The Various Unlock Choices On The New HTC One S
The HTC One S is one of a number of new handsets in HTC's new flagship 'One' range which is the firm's first Android 'Ice Cream Sandwich' series. One of the handsets in this range is the HTC One S, which boasts a number of excellent features, such as an 8 megapixel camera, innovative design and the new version of the HTC Sense UI. In this article I will look at one particular aspect of this, which is the lock screen.
Now this may not seem like the most exciting subject for an article, but like most other features of HTC Sense, this is more innovative than you may first think. In order to unlock the screen, the user presses the unlock/power button at the top of the phone. This then allows the screen to be unlocked, but using the unlock ring. This is dragged from the bottom of the screen, which then unlocks the handset. However, you can also use this feature to instantly access apps, without going through the entire unlock process. You can assign up to four apps of your choice which will be located on the lock screen. Rather than unlock the screen fully, you can simply drag the unlock ring onto one of the apps, or drag an app into the ring. This app will then be automatically opened. These apps are Phone, Mail, Messages and Camera as standard, as these are generally among the most often used apps for most users, although they can be changed to apps of your choice.
Other ways of unlocking the screen on the HTC One S include the commonly used PIN code or password, along with a pattern unlock system. The latter requires you to set up a pattern, which you then enter to unlock the phone. This is similar to entering a PIN code, but you do not take your finger off the screen; instead dragging your finger to the correct points on the screen, creating the pattern.
Arguably the most innovative way to unlock the HTC One S though, is the Face Unlock feature. Comes as part of the Android 'Ice Cream Sandwich' software package, and works via a combination of the phone's front facing camera and built in face recognition software. To use it, simply press the unlock button at the top of the screen. An outline will then appear where you must line up your face, and the phone will then unlock, taking you to the homescreen. You can use this feature in conjunction with another screen unlock method such as a PIN number or unlock pattern, providing maximum levels of security, which is ideal for those who have private or sensitive content on their phone.
All of these unlock options can be managed via the Setting menu, which is easy to do. The HTC One S is just one of a number of handsets to boast these features, thanks to an Android update rolling out to several compatible handsets.

British Columbia has warned the Supreme Court of Canada that Ottawa's proposed legislation to establish a national securities regulator is 'a constitutional Trojan horse' that would allow the federal government to seize key regulatory powers from the provinces.
In the second day of a two-day hearing, lawyers for four provinces – B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick – sparred with Ontario and industry associations that argue a national regulator would give Ottawa a critical lever in its effort to safeguard the national economy.
B.C. and Saskatchewan are not opposed to a federally led national regulatory body, provincial counsel told the nine judges. But they worry that the court's approval of the federal government's proposed Securities Act would create a troubling precedent, giving Ottawa de facto jurisdiction over areas such as insurance and trusts that are now regulated by the provinces.
After years of attempting to win provincial approval for a national regulator, the federal government – backed by Ontario – has decided to proceed and has asked the top court to rule in advance whether it has the constitutional jurisdiction to do so under its trade and commerce powers.
The court reserved judgment in the case, and will likely take several months to issue a ruling.
British Columbia's opposition to the legislation came as a disappointment to Ottawa and industry proponents because the province had supported in principle the establishment of a national body.
"The proposed act is a constitutional Trojan horse," B.C. lawyer George Copley told the panel of nine justices, led by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin.
"Once it is dragged through the gates, this Trojan horse cannot be expelled and its forces become paramount to the provinces' local forces which are under the banner of property and civil rights."
Mr. Copley was reprising a theme that figured prominently in two days of oral argument.
Mr. Justice Louis LeBel persistently questioned lawyers whether the historic balance of Canadian federalism would be upset by a court ruling that recognized a federal regulatory role in an area of traditional provincial competence.
Judge LeBel used the Trojan horse metaphor himself when he quoted – in Virgil's original Latin – the warning: "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts." He suggested that Ottawa's "voluntary" approach would offer no escape for provinces that join the system but then find it wanting, and would create a precedent for federal intrusion into other areas.
Saskatchewan also argued that it was not opposed to a national regulator, but that it should be done under a "co-operative federalism model" rather than what lawyer Graeme Mitchell called Ottawa's "unilateral" approach.
"There is a way to structure a single regulator that is much different from the current federal approach," Mr. Mitchell said. However, he offered no details on what that approach might look like, nor was he asked by the judges to elaborate.
Lawyers for investor groups said a national system is necessary for efficient regulation of systemic risk and proper enforcement when abuses occur.
Kelley McKinnon, lawyer for the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, said a critical element of securities regulation is managing the risks to the national economy that could arise from abuse.
"From a financial investor's perspective, that is absolutely critical and it can only be done efficiently at the federal level," Ms. McKinnon said.
Madam Justice Rosalie Abella, however, noted the World Bank has rated Canada's capital market oversight as highly effective – better than that of the United States or the United Kingdom, which have national regulators.
Luis Sarabia, representing the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, said the provinces simply cannot provide national enforcement against abuse of Canadian or international investors in securities.
He argued that few provinces take up enforcement orders from other jurisdictions barring scam artists from participating in capital market activities. The priority of the provincial regulators – indeed their principle mandate – is to protect investors within their jurisdiction.
The regulation of Canada's capital markets is an essential element of the country's economic well-being, and should be undertaken by a national government, lawyers representing Ontario and investors told the Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday.
Under tough questioning from several justices, Ontario lawyer Janet Minor said the province backs the federal government's position that Ottawa has the constitutional responsibility to oversee security markets.
Judge LeBel repeatedly interrupted Ms. Minor to suggest Ontario's position would lead to a fundamental restructuring of the federation – with all important economic powers held by Ottawa.
"What you are essentially saying is federalism doesn't work and should move towards a unitary system," he said. "If it's important, it's federal."
The Ontario lawyer countered that argument, saying the federal position would limit Ottawa's additional powers to the specific instance of securities regulation.
"We submit there would not be a shift in federalism here," Ms. Minor said. "There is not a slippery slope here."Report Typo/Error

gravity assist
Gravity assist, also known as the slingshot effect, is an important spaceflight technique used successfully on a number of interplanetary missions, including Voyager, Galileo, and Cassini, whereby the gravitational field of a planet is used to increase the speed and alter the course of a spacecraft without the need to expend fuel. The inbound flight path is carefully chosen so that the spacecraft will be whipped around the assisting body, being both accelerated and deflected on a hyperbolic trajectory. At first sight, it may seem as if something has been gained for nothing. However, the additional speed of the spacecraft has been won at the planet's expense which, as a result of the encounter, slows imperceptibly in its orbit and, as a result, moves fractionally closer to the Sun.
One of the earliest, and most dramatic applications of the technique came in 1970 when the world watched as NASA used a lunar gravity-assist to rescue the Apollo 13 astronauts after an onboard explosion had severely damaged their spacecraft en route to the Moon. By using a relatively small amount of fuel to put the spacecraft onto a suitable trajectory, NASA engineers and the astronauts were able to use the Moon's gravity to turn the ship around and send it back home.
Gravity assist primerThe following description of a gravity assist maneuver comes from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and applies to the Voyager spacecraft's encounter with Jupiter.
From Jupiter's point of view, the situation is similar to a bicyclist speeding up going downhill into a valley, then slowing down again on the uphill part of the road.
History of gravity assist in science and science fictionHistorians of science differ on the issue of when gravity assist as a technique in spaceflight was first discussed in the scientific literature. The mathematics of how cometary orbits are affected by close approaches to planets was known in the late 18th century and in the early 1920s, Walter Hohmann showed that the lowest energy path between any two planets is an ellipse that is tangential to the orbits of both the planets. The first mention of a gravity-assist maneuver may have been by Ray Cummings in his science fiction story "Brigands of the Moon," first published in Astounding in 1931. In this story, an Earth spaceship is piloted by martian brigands who are determined to get their hands on the Moon's one key resource, radiactum ("the catalyst mineral which was revolutionising industry"):
We were at this time no more than some sixty-five thousand miles from the moon's surface. The Planetara presently would swing upon her direct course for Mars. There was nothing that would cause passenger comment in this close passing of the moon; normally we used the satellite's attraction to give us additional starting speed.The concept of gravity assist as a means of altering the speed or course of a spacecraft does not appear in scientific literature, however, for another two decades. In a footnote Arthur C. Clarke mentions a paper by Derek Lawden titled "Perturbation Manoeuvres" (Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, vol 13, no 5, Sept 1954). Lawden, a mathematician, worked in the early 1950s on the optimization of rocket trajectories. Somewhat later, in 1961, a summer intern at JPL, Michael A. Minovitch, showed that the gravitational field of a planet could provide thrust to a spacecraft. He demonstrated that careful design of the trajectory to a target planet could provide a gravity assist to move from that planet to another.

Trade Fair Reports
Trade Fair Reports 2015
GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST - world capital for metal related high-tech
The boom is stagnating. This is something that the metal industry on all continents is starting to notice. That is why at first it wasn't clear if the four big metal trade fairs in Düsseldorf would be a success. There were a lot of concerns that the companies would shy away from large investments. However: There were no signs of a mood of crisis at the GIFA, METEC & Co.
ecoMetals Trails 2015 guide you to sustainable technologies
The ecoMetals Trail provides guided "green" tours of GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST 2015. The Trail shows visitors the way to the participants in the ecoMetals campaign and thus take them directly to the innovative sustainable technologies that are being presented by the exhibitors. The place to meet and go on the Trail at 11.00 on 16., 17., 18. and 19. June is the ecoMetals counter on the "Bright World of Metals" trade press stand at the North Entrance to the Düsseldorf exhibition site.
First insights into GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST 2015
The major trade fairs of the metal industry only take place every four years in Düsseldorf. Considering the vast thinking time it doesn't come as a surprise that the companies are able to present an enormous amount of novelties at every new GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST. And the metal market leaders came to Düsseldorf again this time with innovations, which protect people as well as the environment.

Skilled Worker Shortage in Germany - really?
For years now the shadow of "skilled worker shortage" has been looming over the German economy. Organizations fear that gaps will emerge for engineers' and skilled workers' jobs. However, since 2009 the number of new students majoring in technical subjects has increased by more than 40 percent.

Does anyone know why the Q300 is significantly more expensive?
Sound preference and muffler style can't seriously be the difference in ~$500~ can it?
Yes I would love to stay quad tip, and be a little more silent than the N1, but as it stands, I am currently leaning towards the N1.
After tuned, does the Q300 make more power comparatively speaking?
I'm sure this has been discussed before. A link would suffice.
Thank you.

The Defenders of Wildlife paid out nearly $140,000 to ranchers, nationwide, whose cattle and sheep were killed by wolves in 2004, a doubling of the $68,000 paid out in 2003.
If you're alarmed to hear that wolves killed 210 sheep last year, note that more than 17,000 were offed by coyotes during the same period. Defenders reimburses ranchers the full market value of wolf-killed livestock.
Speaking of wolves, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service divested control over canis lupus last week and will provide "maximum management" control of gray wolves to the states of Idaho and Montana. Unlike Wyoming, these states have developed wolf-management plans deemed "acceptable" to the agency. Once Wyoming's plans are approved, the wolf will likely lose protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Last week, the National Weather Service issued a warning indicating that a series of three storms would hit the U.S. from three sides and merge into one powerful—perhaps record-setting—storm. The service also predicted human deaths would result. The prediction came true. Multiple Californians died this week as record-setting moisture pummeled the southern part of their state. Closer to home, a freak blizzard dumped 70-plus inches in the mountains near Bozeman last week, catching a group of skiers in the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge by surprise. Details are still sketchy, but an avalanche temporarily buried multiple victims and killed 24-year-old outdoor writer Blake Morstad, whose death was the third reported avalanche-related death in Montana this year. Swimmers and splashers, take note: Missoula Parks and Recreation has finished designing the splash decks slated for installation in multiple Missoula parks next summer, and they're ready to show off their designs. Show up Jan. 13 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the McCormick Recreation Building and check out the barrier- and drowning-free designs.
The Rocky Mountaineers are teaming up with the New Rocky Mountaineers for a trip to the cold icicles of Waterton National Park for a beginner- and intermediate-friendly ice climbing trip Jan. 13–17. The sights are set on climbs in the WI 3 and WI 4 range, and participants need seconding gear at least. Call the iceman Jim Cossitt (756-6818) to chat gear, accommodations and beta a.s.a.p.
Meanwhile, Gerald Olbu is leading a ski/snowshoe overnight in the North Jocko Area between the Rattlesnake and Mission Mountain wildernesses Jan. 15–17. Although currently meager snow depths are scheduled to improve, slide danger on this trip should remain slim. The itinerary might still be flexible, so wax the boards, bake the goodies and call Olbu at 549-5769 to get in the game.
What? Still paying others to wax your boards? Then head over to REI for a free educational clinic, "Nordic Ski Waxing for beginners" Jan. 20 from 7 to 7:45 p.m. If you've already got skis, take them in for ski-specific tips from the experts. Call Bret Pence at 829-0432 for more info.
Big Sky, the biggest and most diverse lift-serviced mountain in the state, wants you on its slopes, and they've knocked $14 off their ticket prices to help get you there. Clip the coupon in this (or next) week's Independent (copies acceptable) and take your Montana driver's license to the ticket window for $47 tix and pray for a tram opening.
If you go this weekend, you can also hit Bridger Bowl's 50th birthday bash Jan. 14. Tickets are only $10, and if you bring in your ticket from said birthday next Friday (Jan. 21) you'll again ski or ride for only 10 bones. Call (800) 223-9609 for the scoop.
Snowbowl skiers have been happy lately, as consistent ankle-deep snows have kept Missoula's ski hill covered in white. Monday's five inches of fresh brought the summit total to 50, enough to open the entire mountain for the first time this year.
Region-wide, snowpack levels have been dismal, ranging from about 60 to 70 percent of normal. Even powder-magnet Lost Trail has been having a thin snow year, leaving their showcase Chair 4 high and dry during their Thursday–Sunday operating schedule. Discovery Basin is 75 percent open on a 30-inch base; Big Mountain reports a 62-inch base with much of the mountain open; Blacktail Mountain has (finally!) started running their chairs and 100 percent of their mountain is open; Silver Mountain is reporting a 40-inch base and is offering $10 tickets for skiers from 4 to 10 p.m. and Lookout Pass is open Thursday–Sunday on a 75-inch base.
Lastly, Toyota-owning powderhounds in need of a road trip should consider heading to Sandpoint, Idaho, Jan. 21 when anyone driving a Toyota can score a free day of skiing on Schweitzer Mountain.

Historical records matching Col. Gov. John Penn
Immediate Family
half brother
About Col. Gov. John Penn
John Penn (14 July 1729 – 9 February 1795) was the last governor of colonial Pennsylvania, serving in that office from 1763 to 1771 and from 1773 to 1776. He was also one of the Penn family proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania from 1771 until 1776, when the creation of the independent Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the American Revolution removed the Penn family from power.
Early years
John Penn was born in London, the eldest son of Richard Penn and Hannah Lardner. Richard had inherited a one-fourth interest in the Pennsylvania proprietorship from his father, Pennsylvania founder William Penn, which provided him with a fairly comfortable living. Richard's older brother Thomas Penn—John Penn's uncle—controlled the other three-fourths of the proprietorship. Thomas did not have any sons while John Penn was in his youth, and so John stood to inherit the entire proprietorship (one-fourth from his father and three-fourths from his uncle). John's upbringing was therefore of concern to the whole family.
In 1747, when he was eighteen years old and still in school, John Penn clandestinely married a daughter of Dr. James Cox of London. The Penn family disapproved of the marriage, believing that the woman had married John to get a piece of the family fortune. For awhile, John's father refused to speak to him because of the marriage. Thomas Penn, John's uncle, sent him to Geneva to study and to get him away from his wife. John apparently regretted his youthful indiscretion and made no effort to contact his wife. The Cox family sued Penn for support in 1755, but after that time no further reference to Penn's first wife appears in the Penn family records. How the marriage was dissolved is unknown.
John Penn first arrived in Pennsylvania in 1752, when his uncle Thomas sent him to the province as a sort of political apprentice to Governor James Hamilton. Penn served on the governor's council, associating with important Penn family appointees such as Richard Peters and William Allen. In 1754, Penn attended the Albany Conference alongside other Pennsylvania delegates, including Peters, Benjamin Franklin, and Isaac Norris, but Penn's role was primarily as an observer.
From his home in England, chief proprietor Thomas Penn soon became alarmed at John's extravagant expenses. Peters reported John's close association with an Italian musician whose rent Penn paid and at whose home Penn stayed until two or three in the morning. The "debauched" musician was, in turn, "constantly tagging after him". Thomas Penn summoned his nephew John back home in late 1755.
In 1763, Thomas Penn sent his nephew John back to Pennsylvania to take over the governorship of the colony from Hamilton. The Penns were not displeased with Hamilton, but John was finally prepared to claim a place in family affairs. He took the oath of office as governor—officially "lieutenant governor"—on 31 October 1763. The new governor faced many challenges: Pontiac's Rebellion, the Paxton Boys, border disputes with other colonies, controversy over the taxation of Penn family lands, and the efforts of the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly, led by Benjamin Franklin, to have the Penn proprietary government replaced with a royal government.
In 1766, Penn married Anne Allen, daughter of William Allen. Penn reluctantly returned to England in 1771 after his father's death, where he took over his father's affairs as one of the proprietors of Pennsylvania. John's brother Richard Penn, Jr., was appointed governor in his place, but Richard proved to be a poor choice in the opinion of chief proprietor Thomas Penn, and so John was reappointed governor in 1773. Two years later Thomas Penn died, and the chief proprietorship passed to his son, also named John Penn, then still a teenager attending school
Revolution and after
The Penns were slow to perceive that the growing unrest which became the American Revolution would threaten their proprietary interests. After the War of Independence began at Lexington and Concord, John Penn watched with apprehension as Pennsylvanians formed themselves into militia companies and prepared for war. Soon after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, "Patriots" (or "Whigs") in Pennsylvania created the 1776 Pennsylvania Constitution, which replaced Penn's government with a Supreme Executive Council. With no real power at his command, Penn remained aloof and carefully neutral, hoping the radicals would be defeated or at least reconciled with Great Britain.
The war soon began to go badly for the revolutionaries. In August 1777, as General William Howe began his campaign to capture Philadelphia, American soldiers arrived at Penn's Lansdowne estate near Philadelphia and demanded that he sign a parole stating that he would do nothing to harm the revolutionary cause. Penn refused and was taken to Philadelphia, where he was kept under house arrest. As Howe's army drew nearer, Penn was threatened with exile to another colony, and he finally signed the parole. As Howe finally approached Philadelphia, Patriot leaders exiled him anyway to an Allen family estate in New Jersey called "the Union", about 50 miles (80 km) from Philadelphia in present Union Township.[6] Anne Penn stayed in Philadelphia to look after family affairs while British forces occupied the city, but she later joined her husband in New Jersey.
After the British evacuated Philadelphia, John and Anne Penn returned to the city in July 1778. The new government of Pennsylvania had become more radical, requiring that everyone take a loyalty oath to the Commonwealth or face confiscation of their property. With the consent of his family, John Penn took the oath.[8] While this protected Penn's private lands and manors, the Pennsylvania Assembly passed the Divestment Act of 1779, confiscating about 24,000,000 acres (97,000 km2) of unsold lands held by the proprietorship, and abolishing the practice of paying quitrents for new purchases. As compensation, the Penns were paid £130,000, a fraction of what the lands were worth, but a surprisingly large sum nonetheless. Penn retired to Lansdowne and quietly waited out the final years of the war.
For several years after the war, John Penn, along with his cousin John Penn "of Stoke", lobbied the Pennsylvania government for greater compensation for the confiscated property. Failing there, they travelled to England to seek additional compensation from Parliament, which awarded them £4,000 per year in perpetuity. Returning to Pennsylvania, Penn lived the rest of his life quietly at Lansdowne. After his 1795 death, Penn, an Anglican, was buried under the floor of Christ Church, Philadelphia, the only proprietor buried in Pennsylvania. Some older accounts state that his remains were eventually taken back to England, but there are no records of this.

It is said to be a much more affordable and much less invasive way to have a facelift, but what exactly is the Lifestyle Lift? The very vague commercials promises a younger looking you, but how does it work?
The Lifestyle Lift is fairly similar to a real surgical facelift. The procedure does involve surgery. However, it is only performed on the lower part of the face, making it less invasive. With the Lifestyle Lift, it is not the skin that they are tightening, it's the deeper level of tissue right below the skin.
The Lifestyle Lift involves an incision that pulls everything up to give you a dramatic looking change instantly. The incisions are strategically placed so that they are not noticeable and leave behind very minimal scarring. Recovery time is also relatively short.
There are many before and after images all over the web, and tons of reviews from satisfied customers.

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Four scored in double figures to lead Campbell past Presbyterian 68-44 Monday night at Gilbert Craig Gore Arena, closing out the Lady Camels' home slate for the 2011-12 season.
Campbell improves to 16-11 on the year and 9-7 in Big South play with the win, while PC falls to 12-15 overall and 6-10 in conference games.
With 16 wins, the Lady Camels secure their first winning season since 2001, with at least three games remaining on the schedule. Campbell also finishes its 2011-12 home schedule with a 10-3 record, recording the team's first double digit home win season since 2000-01, and its ninth overall.
CU is now 13-1 when surrendering under 60 points this season, and 7-0 when limiting the opposition below 50.
On senior night, Katelyn Bass led the way with 13 points and 11 rebounds, the senior forward's third-straight double-double and fourth this season. Bass has amassed 44 rebounds in her last three outings.
Junior guard Tonisha Baker also scored 13, adding five rebounds, five assists and four steals, while Jazmine Cooper, a junior post, notched 10 points and eight boards. Freshman guard Kiera Gaines also registered 11 points and six rebounds off the bench.
Senior guard Amanda O'Neill scored nine and posted two rebounds, while Kate Cloxton, another senior guard, added five assists. Sophomore guard Jessica Moore tacked on five points.
Devin Fothergill led PC with seven points, while Shonda Burnside collected six points, three rebounds and a game-high four blocks in the loss. Mariah Pietrowski, Sherece Smith and Kristin Stevens also added five apiece for the Blue Hose.
After taking a 26-23 lead in the half, Campbell scored the second frame's first 11, fueled by nine straight points from Katelyn Bass to put the Lady Camels ahead 37-23 with 16:35 to play.
Campbell continued its run later in the half, going up 25 at 53-28 on Jessica Moore's three from the top of the key. That triple at the 11:19 mark of the second half, capped a 39-9 run for Campbell that began with 6:31 to go in the first. Moore's three also finished off a 27-5 run to start the second half.
The Lady Camels led by as many as 27 in the final stanza before taking the 68-44 home win. Campbell outscored the Blue Hose 42-21 in the second half.
The 24 point win marked Campbell's largest margin of victory this season, and its 27 point lead with 1:19 to go in the game was the largest lead over any opponent this season.
For the game, the Lady Camels posted 27 points off 17 PC turnovers and tallied 16 fast break points to Presbyterian's 0. Campbell also owned the paint outscoring PC 34-18, while outrebounding the Blue Hose 42-28.
The Lady Camels will close out the 2011-12 regular season next weekend with a pair of road tests. Campbell will head to UNC Asheville on March 2 before traveling to Gardner-Webb in the finale on March 5. The Big South Women's Basketball Championship begins on Friday, March 9 at High Point.

What measures the best teacher? More than scores, study shows
By Stephanie Simon
(Reuters) - Effective teachers can be identified by observing them at work, measuring their students' progress on standardized tests - and asking those students directly what goes on in the classroom, according to a comprehensive study released Tuesday.
The three-year, $50 million Measures of Effective Teaching study, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, found it was difficult to predict how much students would achieve in a school year based on their teacher's years of experience or knowledge of pedagogical technique.
But researchers found they could pick out the best teachers in a school and even predict roughly how much their students would learn if they rated the educators through a formula that put equal weight on student input, test scores and detailed classroom observations by principals and peers.
Taken alone, each of those measures was fairly volatile. Judging teachers primarily by student performance on state tests, for instance, turned out to be highly unreliable, with little consistency from year to year. Judging them chiefly by a principal's observations failed to identify those teachers who could be counted on to boost student proficiency on state math and reading tests.
Combining all three measures into a properly weighted index, however, produced a result "teachers can trust," said Vicki Phillips, a director in the education program at the Gates Foundation.
The study comes at a time of bitter political wrangling over teacher evaluations in cities including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago - and provides ammunition for all sides.
Education reformers who have been pressing to dismantle tenure systems, which protect veteran teachers from layoffs, could take heart in the finding that seniority doesn't predict success in the classroom.
Yet the report also bolstered union leaders who have argued that teacher evaluations should not be tied so heavily to trendy "value-added measures," or VAM - complex algorithms that aim to gauge whether students do better or worse than expected on state tests after several months in a given teacher's classroom.

Looks like you really scored a great deal. Congrats.
I picked up a "no name" 1911 a while back built with a Foster frame and a Caspian slide. Didn't pay much at all for it (about $400) so you can bet I was surprised when I was able to do this on my first outing. This is a 10 yard target where I fired 25 rounds in about 45 seconds with 2 reloads. Yeah, this one is a keeper (and yes, it's ported)...
Looks like you really scored a great deal. Congrats.
thats a nice looking piece great deal im curious what it is
