Beginning elementary school teachers and the effective teaching of science

Many factors influence the teaching of science by beginning teachers in elementary schools. They have to confront a myriad of daunting experiences and tasks in their first few weeks at school, and on top of that are expected to teach a comprehensive curriculum including science with its attendant demands for a constructivist approach to teaching and learning, cooperative group work, and reliance on resources. This paper describes the experiences of four beginning teachers as they worked their way through the first year of teaching, with an emphasis on analyzing the influence of these experiences on their planning and implementation of science lessons in the classroom. A theoretical framework of self-efficacy, and related attitudes and motivation to teach science, is used for the analysis. Implications for the design of science education courses within preservice programs, and the development of induction programs for beginning elementary teachers, to ensure teachers' long term commitment to the effective teaching of science, are discussed in the paper.

KABUL, Afghanistan – An Afghan-international security force captured a Haqqani network facilitator and several other suspected insurgents in Khost province last night.
The combined security force moved to a compound east of Langharah, Tanai district, after intelligence information verified militant activity. During a search of the buildings the assault force captured the Haqqani facilitator who is involved in the movement of foreign fighters and improvised explosive devices from Pakistan. He is well-connected to senior level Haqqani commanders in Khost and Paktiya and his efforts led to suicide bombings against civilians in Khost.
A number of individuals suspected of insurgent activities were detained by an Afghan-international security force in Farah province last night.
The combined force detained the individuals while searching a series of buildings in a rural area of the Bala Boluk district after intelligence information discovered militant activity.
The search team found multiple rifles, ammunition casings and approximately 70 kilograms of wet opium.
Another Afghan-international security force detained an individual suspected of insurgent activity in Farah province last night.
The suspected insurgent was detained while the combined force was searching buildings in the village of Gor Zanak, Gulistan district, after intelligence information confirmed insurgent activity.
No shots were fired and no one was harmed in any of these operations.

6. Hearing is not just about the ears; it is also about the brain.

Our ears detect sound, but it is the brain that gives sound meaning. If the ears are working well but a child still has difficulty listening, following directions, hearing in noise, and/or struggles with spelling they may have an auditory processing disorder (APD). Finding an audiologist that specializes in APD diagnosis and treatment is important for getting a correct diagnosis. While other professionals, such as speech-language pathologists and psychologists are important members of the APD team, only an audiologist can diagnose APD.

Another hearing disorder, called auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD), occurs when communication from the inner ear to the brain is impaired. Hearing sensitivity may be anywhere from normal to severe. People with ANSD have difficulty hearing and understanding speech in noise and their abilities to hear may fluctuate. ANSD is diagnosed by an audiologist.

7. If the hearing aids are off, your child's brain is off.

Continuing along the lines of hearing being about both the ears and the brain, it is important to realize that when a child's hearing aids are off that clear sounds are not getting to the brain. It is essential for the brain to have access to sounds during the critical developmental phases of cortical maturation. This base (within the first year of life) sets the foundation for further development, speech and language abilities, and literacy.

8. Mild hearing loss is still hearing loss.

Minimal, mild, unilateral (one ear) hearing loss is still hearing loss. Approximately 5.4% of school-age children have permanent minimal, mild, or unilateral hearing loss. Untreated, children with these levels of hearing loss are ten times more likely to fail a grade than children with normal hearing. Difficulty hearing speech with background noise (and classrooms are generally noisy) and listener fatigue may also manifest as behavioral problems.Use of hearing aids should be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the use of an FM system in the classroom may be an excellent option to provide better access to sound.

9. Hearing aids break.

Hearing aids break, children outgrow ear molds, batteries go dead....it is a never-ending cycle. Plan for these inevitable issues. Have a home repair kit with a listening stethoscope, extra ear hooks, a dry aid kit, cleaning solution, battery tester, and even a spare set of hearing aids (if possible). Ask you audiologist to teach you how to re-tube an ear mold. There are many simple repairs that can be done at home that will save you time and keep the hearing aids working and on the ears! Clean the hearing aids as directed. Learn how to remove wax from the ear mold to make sure sound is getting through to your child. Check your child's ear mold for signs that it is too small or becoming worn and needs to be replaced. A little attention every day can prevent big problems down the line and extend the life of the hearing aids.

10. We want to be your partner.

Most audiologists entered the profession because they have a passion to help people hear better. There is nothing more rewarding than our patient's success and nothing more discouraging than not being able to make that connection with families to help them achieve their hearing goals. If your goal is oral speech for your child with hearing loss, the recommendations will be much different than if you want your child to use sign language. Be honest with us about your goals, wishes, and dreams for your child so we can work with you to make them a reality.

Beware of unmarked spoilers.
[[folder:The Heap Family]]
!Septimus Heap
The main character, Septimus is a seventh son of a seventh son, wielding amazing '''Magykal''' powers.
* TheApprentice: Of Marcia Overstrand. She had been in fact waiting for him since long.
* CharacterDevelopment: At first, he's scared and rather antisocial. After the first book, he grows to be more confident and happy.
* ChildMage: He becomes [=ExtraOrdinary=] Apprentice at the tender age of ten years.
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler: In the Young Army during his first ten years of life.]]
* DragonRider: He is Spit Fyre's rider.
* GreenEyes: He gets them after being recovered from the Young Army in ''Magyk'', as do all Wizard children when exposed to Magykal learning.
* MagicalSeventhSon: The main theme of the series is that seventh children of seventh children have extraordinary ''Magykal'' abilities.
* MeaningfulName: Septimus is the seventh son of a seventh son. His name means "seventh" in Latin. [[spoiler:Furthermore, his Young Army "name" was Boy 412, and 4+1+2=7.]]
** Reaches ArcNumber level when in ''Queste'', Marcia Overstrand is revealed to be the 776th [=ExtraOrdinary=] Wizard (remember, the first Wizard came sailing in from ancient Egypt), which will eventually make her apprentice, Septimus, the 777th.
* NiceGuy: He is genuinely compassionate towards others and doesn't regard anyone with malice. He even offers a second chance to [[spoiler:Simon]].
* SwitchedAtBirth: With Jenna.
* TookALevelInBadass: Septimus timidly starts off as TheLoad, but gets much better as his magical skill improves.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Darke'', partly as a consequence of the imminent Darke Week and its tribulations.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: All powerful Wizards tend to [[PrimalFear fear heights]], as explained in ''Queste''.
!Jenna Heap
The daughter of Queen Cerys and Milo Banda. She was rescued by Marcia Overstrand when the Queen was shot, and subsequently adopted by the Heap family.
* ActionGirl: An on-and-off example.
* BerserkButton: Don't try to kill Septimus or else she will take you down.
* DisappearedDad: Milo's wherabouts weren't know until ''Flyte'', and his reunion with his daughter was rather less than friendly.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Literally, as she uses her Queen authority, e.g in ''Flyte'' to force Stanley to lead them to Aunt Zelda's cottage and in ''Darke'' to get Septimus to explain what the Darke Week is.
* GenkiGirl: She's generally upbeat.
* HappilyAdopted: She considers the Heap family to be her true family, almost more than her actual family.
* OneOfTheBoys: Courtesy of living with six boys, leading into...
* {{Tomboy}}: Although she doesn't mind wearing the tiara and dress that come with being queen, Jenna gives off slight vibes of this. She's certainly not scared to get dirty.
* PluckyGirl: Whatever happens, she won't let her spirits be dampened.
* PrincessesRule: Only in ''Darke'' does she receive "official" royal promotion.
* SwitchedAtBirth: With Septimus.
[[folder: Wizards]]
!Marcia Overstrand
The bossy [=ExtraOrdinary=] Wizard, she became EOW after her tutor Alther Mella was shot along with the Queen, and rescued Jenna in the same moment.
* TheArchmage: The [=ExtraOrdinary=] Wizard of the setting has high authority over other Wizards.
* GreenEyes: She's the main Wizard of the setting after all.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Usually, she is very bossy and can be a huge annoyance to everyone, but when trouble abounds, she can be very caring and helpful. Also, her abrasiveness is often directed at those who deserve it; oftentimes she is depicted as gracious and polite, especially towards those that she takes a liking to. Her biggest fault is probably her tendency to leap to wrong conclusions about people, but she is at least capable of admitting her mistakes, such as happens with both Silas and Marcellus.
* ParentalSubstitute: She is this to Septimus, according to WordOfGod.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She is dressed head to toe in the purple robes of the [=ExtraOrdinary=] Wizard. She orders her shoes to be handmade out of special purple snakeskin, much to her shoemaker's dismay.
* {{Tsundere}}: Marcia is a non-romantic variant she's self-centered and abrasive as all get-out, but she very clearly cares deeply for Septimus (when she slips enough to let it show).

Dear Alex,
My boyfriend has gone travelling with his older brother to the USA.
I'm terrified he's going to cheat. He says he loves me and will wait for me but how do I know if he means it?
Victoria, 16
What does your heart tell you? Are you really concerned your lad has the potential to cheat?
Or are you just nervous about being alone for the first time in a while, and worried you'll miss him?
It's important for partners in a relationship to realise they can spend time apart. It'll allow your relationship to stand the test of time - you won't stifle one another and grow to resent each other.
I was touched while watching I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here when Dougie Poynter from McFly told his fellow campmates just how much he loved his girlfriend and how solid they were.
I remember it wasn't long ago when Dougie was admitted to rehab after being dumped by The Saturdays' Frankie Sanford. I think both you and him should take more confidence in your current relationships and not let former bad experiences damage your better judgment.

MBA News
Salaries of the MBA graduates are still on the rise
The job market for people with management education degrees has improved and employers expect conditions to get even better during the months ahead. This is the conclusion made from the results of a pair of annual international surveys released on May 10 by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).
The research shows that more business school graduates have been able to find jobs before finishing their studies in 2011 compared with the class of 2010. Moreover, companies are increasingly turning their attention to growing their operations and bringing on new employees after years of riding out rough economic conditions, GMAC researchers found. More than half (54%) of job-seeking respondents had at least one job offer at the time the research was conducted in March—weeks before graduation. By comparison, just 32% of respondents to the survey last year who were looking for employment had landed an offer.
Salaries are also on the rise. For example, graduates from two-year full-time MBA programs reported a 73% increase in their post-degree base salary compared with what they earned before beginning their studies, on average. This is an increase from the 64% average salary boost seen by their peers in the class of 2010. Underlying the strengthening job market for MBAs is an overall sense among employers that the economy has stabilized enough that they can focus on growing their businesses. In fact, 67% of employers represented in the survey expect to hire new MBAs during the coming year, up from 62% in 2010 and 50% in 2009. New hires in the United States can expect to earn an average base salary of $91,433, up from $89,141 last year and $86,299 in 2009. Companies appear to be shifting their overall goals. Fifty-eight percent of employers said expanding operations represents a key priority for their firms, up 10% from 2009. Meanwhile, just 36% of participants in the survey said their organizations were focused on overcoming economic challenges, down from 49% of respondents in 2010.
The 2011 GMAC Global Management Education Graduate Survey reflects responses from 4,794 graduating members of the class of 2011 at 156 graduate business schools worldwide. The 2011 GMAC Corporate Recruiters Survey includes responses from 1,509 employers from 905 companies in 51 countries.

|Censorship Burns the Books Nobody Read
Dean Omori believes that the freedom of musical expression is mixed with the blood of the human soul: "It will remain long after the politicians have deserted us. The artists are always the first to speak out against what is wrong. Without them, our silent legislators, the light of this world will forever be diminished."
Dean Omori also told Freemuse:
Dean Omori's work is dedicated to those with the smallest share of our Human Rights. In 2008 he was awarded best short film by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature). He is a prolific artist who has released four protest albums in the space of 18 months, all written, recorded and performed by himself. Presently he is recording a new album, 'The Energy of Slaves' to be released in November 2009, dedicated to the experience of freedom, both liberty and creativity.
Dean Omori lives on the outskirts of London with wife and two little boys.

I used to work for Lincoln, and at the time they had released the "Blackwood" truck. It had the same Burl Wood interior, that I know was real, so if the VW is fake they've done an excellent job making it look real.

Hey, as long as it doesn't look like the crap they used to applique into US cars in the 70's & 80's, then I'm good. The woodgrain trim on our SEL lends just the right amount of warmth to the cabin.

the interior trim pieces (there are 9 parts total) cost around $500ish if i recall correctly, and yes i bought them from the dealership.
i was able to install 7 of the 9 pieces myself, but the last 2 pieces involved the wiring around the push button start and the gearshift, so i had the dealership do those. (for free!)
Sorry to belabor this subject, but I thought potential buyers should know the truth about this trim. Upon my purchase, I assumed that the trim was fake wood, considering the price point of the Passat. I've owned several vehicles with real wood and this trim didn't seem to have the "depth" character that other woods have. A few days ago, I noticed that the light caught an area of the trim that gave it that appearance of "depth".
So now I wanted to know for sure and I contacted VWOA directly to get the truth. Here was their response. "Congrats on your new Passat! It is real wood. The ordering guide states so, we would not be able to say that if it were anything otherwise."
So if anyone is NOT going to purchase this car based on the fact that the wood trim is cheap plastic, and not REAL wood, you should reconsider your decision.
FYI, Joe
my issue is not whether its real or fake wood...but rather is appears to be and looks like fake wood.
Looks real enough to me. And go figure! It is real after all...
Interesting thread. I thought I heard it was fake, so I wanted to swap it out.
Now, I'll just sit back and enjoy NOT spending $500+.
'12 Passat VR6 SEL
i OWNED the trim, i HELD it in my hands as i replaced it. you can literally see the BROWN PAINT on the BLACK PLASTIC once you remove the pieces. not to mention the pieces were just as light as the "brushed aluminum" (also fake) pieces i replaced them with.
if it IS real wood... it must be a RAZOR thin piece backed with plastic, and painted and glazed to look nice. but i seriously, seriously doubt it, from hands-on, eyes-on personal experience.
by the way, the official name simply says "autumn nut burl"... it NEVER says the word "wood". look at vw.com.

i'm surprised they didn't fix that for 2013. you're still stuck with that trim, no choice.

It is wood veneer. They slice a piece of wood razor thin and mate it to the plastic backing. All higher end cars are done this way. Some veneer are thicker then others. You can get it as an dealer option on the SE and S. It's a $700 option. No way they would charge that much if it was just a sticker.

I actually like my wood trim, and I find it does make the interior feel nicer. But I wouldn't have cared if it was fake because it looks good, and that's the image I want.
I don't think VW will remove it from the SEL trims though. All my non-car enthusiast friends love my car and the wood trim is one reason why.

Tour Stories: Three x Dope
Here's another funny story:
We have a crazy snowboarding fan base, so every winter we hit up the mountains and rock a gang of shows at all the resorts from Tahoe to Vermont. When I go on these snow trips I like to rock the shows Carharrt down—extreme jacket, extreme bib, extra warm hat and some hunting gloves. I'm a Cali ninja and that subzero s#it is not the business.
So, one night Souls were supposed to fly out to Miami and meet back up with the rest of Hiero on the mountain tour the next day. We ended up missing our plane (sorry Fresh El Camino!!!), so we had to come back and stay on the tour. This is the mountains. All of the hotels are booked with skiers and tourists, so we don't have enough rooms. I decided to sleep in the van, I figure I'm Arctic suited down, so I'll be warm for the night.
I lay down in the backseat of the van, kick off my shoes, and knock out. Around 3 in the morning, I wake up to urinate. I get up, slide the van door open, and stand on the running board of the van to try to go in the snow.
I had slept with my shoes off in the freezing van, so I had no feeling in my feet. I fell face forward into a stream of pee and landed in the bank of snow with my jimmy out, in the middle of the mountains with frozen feet.
Next time somebody else is sleeping in the van!

WIMD 2000 WIMD 2005 WIMD 2008 WIMD 2011 Using the WIMD Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA) WIMD 2000 The initial Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) was published in August 2000, replacing the existing Welsh Index of Socio-Economic Conditions but using the same 1991 Census data. It consisted of six domains, or factors deemed to indicate deprivation: Income Employment Health Education Housing Geographic access to services Data was collated for all 865 Electoral Divisions in Wales, which were then given comparative rankings, both for each individual domain and also combined across all domains From this a subset of data deemed relevant to child poverty was also used to create a Child Poverty Index. The top 100 wards in Wales were chosen to be part of the Welsh Assembly Governments Communities First programme. The WIMD 2000 rankings for Communities First wards and all wards in Neath Port Talbot are available to download below. WIMD 2000 Downloads WIMD 2000 Breakdown for Communities First wards78 KB WIMD 2000 Breakdown for Neath Port Talbot wards73 KB Download All WIMD 2005 Following consultation on the previous index, a new, revised WIMD was released in November 2005. The updated index included an additional domain – Environment; and the geographical units used were LSOA's rather than electoral divisions (wards). Due to issues with available data a child index was not produced in 2005. LSOAs falling within the top 10% most deprived of the index that were not already part of the programme were invited to apply for Communities First status in August 2006. In Neath Port Talbot this led to two Communities First partnerships expanding to cover larger areas (Sandfields and Brynbryddan & Penllyn) and the creation of two new partnerships (Neath South/Cimla and Neath Town Centre).

The geography of the index remained LSOA's, but changes included the addition of a Community Safety domain as well as new and amended indicators for some of the existing domains. An updated Child Poverty Index was also developed using the WIMD 2008 data. The WIMD 2008 rankings for Neath Port Talbot LSOA's are available to download below.

There were minor changes to some of the domains and their indicators. An updated Child Index was also developed using the WIMD 2011 data. The WIMD 2011 rankings for Neath Port Talbot LSOA's are available to download below. WIMD 2011 Downloads Neath Port Talbot WIMD 2011 ordered by LSOA name34 KB Neath Port Talbot WIMD 2011 ordered by Overall Index34 KB Download All Using the Index Comparison between different year's indexes is tempting but it does not provide a valid measure of an LSOA's improvement or otherwise. An areas ranking is affected by the scores of every other area; so IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to tell whether a change in score is a real change in the deprivation of an area, or whether it is a relative change due to the scores of other areas going up or down. You can't say how much more deprived one area is than another; the LSOA ranked 40th is not twice as deprived as the LSOA ranked 80th. The index is based on the factors which mean an area is deprived not affluent. An area much lower down the ranked list than another is less deprived but you cannot say it is more affluent. Every area has people who are deprived and who are affluent, but the index counts only those classed as deprived. The deprivation scores can't be compared with those from other UK countries, as they are separate indexes with different indicators. Lower Super Output Areas Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA's) are standard divisions used across Wales and England for collecting, aggregating and reporting statistics. There are 1,896 LSOA's in Wales and 91 within Neath Port Talbot. The mean average population size of an LSOA is 1,500 people, with a minimum of 1,000. Using LSOA's for the WIMD has a number of advantages: Electoral divisions in Wales vary in size from around 1,000 to 20,000 people, whereas the more standard size of LSOA's provides a better basis for comparison. The boundaries of electoral divisions can change, which creates problems when comparing data from different time periods. LSOA boundaries will remain the same. More information on LSOA's and census geography is available from the Office for National Statistics website.

BOSTON -- Jim Thome knew how much the Chicago White Sox needed a win. He helped them get one with a memorable homer.
Thome hit a two-run shot in the first inning to match Mickey Mantle for 14th place with 536 career homers, and Chicago beat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Sunday to end a three-game losing streak.
"To tie Mickey Mantle, you're speechless. What do you say?" Thome said. "It's really hard to talk about because when you throw Mickey Mantle's name around, that's probably one of the greatest home run hitters of all time."
Chicago's skid helped Minnesota pull within a half-game of the AL Central-leading White Sox entering play Sunday. Boston, which led the Twins by three games in the wild-card race before Sunday's games, fell five games back of Tampa Bay in the AL East.
Thome knew the White Sox needed to end their slide heading into a three-game series at Cleveland, and the players discussed the importance of Sunday's game before the victory.
"Any time you talk about it, the energy level is there from the start. I think we were ready to go, and it showed," Thome said. "This was probably maybe one of the bigger wins we've had all year."
To tie Mantle and win at the same time made the day more special.
"Every home run he hits is a milestone," Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. "But I think he's worried more about us winning than his milestones."
Gavin Floyd (15-6) went 6 2/3 innings to win his fifth consecutive decision. He allowed one run and seven hits against a team that outscored the White Sox 16-4 and outhit them 30-11 in the first two games.
Thome hit a two-out drive in the first and went 2-for-3 against Tim Wakefield (8-9) after entering just 6-for-49 with two homers against the knuckleballer in his career. Thome and Paul Konerko hit consecutive two-out doubles in the sixth to give Chicago a 3-1 lead.
"One guy hurt us, Jim Thome," Boston catcher Kevin Cash said, "and he's had a pretty good career."
The Red Sox were denied their first three-game sweep over the White Sox in Boston since April 1986.
Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia singled in the first for his ninth consecutive hit, reaching safely in 11 plate appearances in a row. He went 1-for-4 with a walk after going 4-for-4 with a walk in each of the previous two games.
Pedroia had a chance to win the game in the ninth, coming up with runners on the corners and two outs. But he flied out against Bobby Jenks, who picked up his 27th save in 30 opportunities.
"There wasn't one guy in here that didn't want him up at that point," Jason Bay said.
But Jenks didn't give in.
"I'm trying to get ahead with my fastball, he's trying to hit a home run," Jenks said. "I'm not going to change my game plan. Neither is he."
Floyd worked out of threats in three of the first four innings, giving up Boston's first run on Jacoby Ellsbury's RBI single in the fourth.
The Red Sox squandered a couple of good opportunities early.
They loaded the bases with two outs in the first on singles by David Ortiz and Pedroia and a walk to Mark Kotsay. Then Bay hit a hard liner that third baseman Joe Crede grabbed.
"We really worked him in that first inning," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "Then he got comfortable and started throwing that breaking ball."
In the second, Boston put runners on second and third on a single by Alex Cora and a double by Ellsbury, who had three hits for the second day in a row. But Jed Lowrie flied out to end the inning.
After a perfect third, Floyd ran into trouble again in the fourth. Jeff Bailey singled and took second on Cash's single. Ellsbury's single scored Bailey and sent Cash to third. Then Ellsbury stole second, but Lowrie left two runners stranded again when he struck out.
Crede doubled in a run in the ninth.
- Ellsbury's two stolen bases gave him 43, fourth-most in Red Sox history ahead of the 42 by Tris Speaker in 1914 and Otis Nixon in 1994. Tommy Harper holds the club record of 54 set in 1973.
- Chicago's Nick Swisher went 0-for-10 in the series with five strikeouts.
- Pedroia tied Del Pratt's single-season record for Red Sox second basemen of 183 hits, set in 1922.
- Boston recalled OF Jonathan Van Every from Triple-A Pawtucket and sent RHP Michael Bowden to its top farm club one day after he won his major league debut.
- The White Sox recalled LHP Boone Logan from Triple-A Charlotte. He takes the roster spot of RHP Lance Broadway, who was optioned to Charlotte on Saturday night.
- Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is 13th on the career list with 547 homers after hitting one Sunday.

#5317 pending Task
Create tool to improve detection of non released memory
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Follow up of #4555
It's not the typical "memory leak" problem present in the browsers, but it's easy to store data in a way that it isn't released after one instance is destroyed in an AJAX way, and that means more and more memory use, so it's in the end a memory leak.
In the previous bug we have cleaned up the main codeline, but there are other parts that will have to be reviewed and instead of trying to dig into every plugin we must try to find an automated way that help us diagnose where are the problems.

Ok, this version I think that is able to catch all the leaks fixed in #4555.
A word of caution: disable firebug before using it or the script might give timeouts trying to store all the callstacks.
To test it disable any of the fixes of #4555 and check that it's properly reported here. Start the test, use the editor as you want and then click the end test to check if it has detected any problem.

Little clean up
comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by wwalc
- Milestone set to CKEditor 3.6
- Version set to 3.0
The _dev folder is not included in release anyway, so having there an already created tool that can help us in tracing issues with memory sounds good.
comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by garry.yao
- Status changed from review to review_failed
The tool reports interference object changes like "CKEDITOR.ui._" and "CKEDITOR.config" which leads to actually no leak.

It definitely should not block the 3.6 release, so I'm removing the milestone. Let's simply add the tool to the _dev folder once it works as expected

Replying to Reinmar:
Is this tool needed any more? Doesn't Chrome's memory profiling do the same job?
Things have changed a lot in these four years, at that time there was no memory profiling tools like these days.
Chrome's profiling would help to detect problems in the common code but not in the code paths that are executed by other browsers, so remember that any kind of tests should be done on each browser.
If something like this is implemented, I think that bugs like http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10731 could have been detected earlier.
Of course, as CKEditor has changed so much, the current proposal is worthless and if anything is done is should be created almost from scratch.

Botox Gone Wrong - Honolulu, HI
My first experience with Botox with Dr. Schlesinger was excellent. I had it applied to my frown lines between my eyebrows. He did not recommend that I get it applied to my forehead area. I loved it and it lasted for approx. 5 months. It really just gave me a more youthful look and it looked very natural.

OMAX Completes Corporate Expansion
New 22,000 sq ft facility extends the company's training, research and development, and engineering efforts.
New 22,000 sq ft facility extends the company's training, research and development, and engineering efforts.
OMAX Corporation (Kent, WA) designs, manufactures, markets and supports its advanced abrasive waterjet machines and accessories from its manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in Kent. Last month the company completed the largest expansion of its campus since opening the Kent facility in 1999, adding a new 22,000 sq ft building that extends its training, research and development, and engineering efforts.
The company has experienced significant growth over the past several years, making the expansion necessary. In fact, OMAX was recently named, for the second time, to Inc. Magazine's 500|5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America for achieving 21 percent business growth between 2008 and 2011.
According to Dr. John Cheung, the chief executive officer of the company, such growth can be attributed in part to the company's 2009 launch of its cost-effective MAXIEM® JetCutting Center Series, which makes abrasive waterjet technology more accessible. Another key growth contributor is the team's commitment to continuously developing and supporting new and improved technologies that meet the diverse and ever-changing needs of manufacturers worldwide.
The building expansion allows for a new dedicated training space, including a lab area, where company sales representatives, distributors and end-users can gain the highest levels of understanding and retention of the world's most advanced abrasive waterjet technology. The expansion will also increase the company's research and development and engineering capacities, allowing for better support of existing solutions and faster, more efficient development of new machines and accessories.

BWW Reviews: The METAMORPHOSIS
I wanted to read Kafka's Metamorphosis before attending the Royal Ballet's production bearing the same name. But my own Kafkesque world intervened, so I never had the chance to follow Gregor and his transformation from human being to bug. I can only judge the production on its own merits, and not compare it to the book which, I think, is only fair.
Metamorphosis, choreographed and directed by Arthur Pita, never involved me, or made me care, about the production's subject, or even the work itself. It was perplexing. We are introduced to the Samsa family: father, mother, sister and son, Gregor. But who are they? There is no sense of time; are they living in the 1950s, the 70? I couldn't make it out, which is a big part of the equation. We want to know where and when. I was left wondering why.
Gregor, the main character of this 90-minute long piece, described in the playbill as a "dance theater adaptation after Franz Kakfa", is a man stuck in a boring job, something that is reiterated over and over in the first 15 minutes. One day he wakes up to find that he is no longer a member of the human race, but an insect. We are presented with interesting and searing ideas. They should really perk us up to what's coming.
But they don't. How long can we watch a dancer performing the part of an insect? Once we see Gregor transformed, his movements hover between the pretzeled, contorted, coiled, and acrobatic. Many critics and audience members in London were highly impressed. I wasn't, because Allegra Kent did the same thing when she appeared in many of Balanchine's ballets, which didn't last for 90 minutes.
As Gregor transforms, he is covered with brown gook or gunk, depending upon how you define it. Slimy, greasy, disgusting, he frightens his family, who depend on him for cash, since he seems to be the only one bringing home any source of income, and, as a bug, he wouldn't exactly fly in the office. So what do they do? Take in boarders. Not your usual boarders, but three people resembling Hasidic Jews, who perform a dance with mother, father and daughter. Does this sound strange? I thought so. Why are three Hasidim there? The program describes them as "Bearded Men," but this is not the world of Sholom Aleichem, Isaac Babel, or even Fiddler on the Roof. Kafka had his own ambivalent relationship to Judaism, but I don't recall hearing about Hasidim in his home. To bring the story to its conclusion, Gregor appears and scares the living hell out of them. The family, bereft and bereaved by this loss of income, turn on Gregor with such venom and spite that he takes the only way out, suicide. As Ethel Barrymore used to say, "That's all there is, there isn't anymore."

Today's the day. As we speak, students are lining up on the streets, and MPs are preparing to vote on government plans to raise tuition fees to up to £9,000.
Most Liberal Democrat MPs expected to vote for trebling of tuition fees.
In what is set to be a defining day for English universities and politics, most Liberal Democrat MPs are expected today to join their party leader, Nick Clegg, to force through a trebling of university tuition fees, in the face of what are likely to be angry student street protests and bitter recriminations at Westminster.
Vince Cable has defended the right of Liberal Democrat MPs to abstain, and the party's deputy leader, Simon Hughes, has hinted he might even vote against the tripling of costs to students.
Up to 40,000 university students and school pupils are expected to protest in London today. Students are gathering near University of London right now and will march towards the Houses of Parliament.
In the Commons, the tuition fees debate will start at around 12.15pm and the voting will start at around 5.15pm.
Follow all the latest coverage, including our live blog, throughout the day. Please also join in and comment.
