Teaching and Learning
Achievement/Performance Standards
How Oregon Set Achievement Standards in 2006-2007
How Oregon Set Achievement Standards in 2006-2007
The process for re-establishing the achievement standards on the statewide assessments in reading, mathematics, science and for the English Language Proficiency Assessments (ELPA) in 2006-07 consisted of three key phases.
Phase One - Establish a broadly representative panel for each grade and subject area
The Department of Education actively solicited more than 500 names of educators, parents and community/business representatives to serve on the panels at grades 3, 5, 8, and high school for reading and mathematics; grades 5, 8, and high school for science; and at grade groupings of K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and high school for ELPA. Over 230 Oregonians, selected to represent the state by geographic region, district size, gender, race/ethnicity, and role in education or community, will review test materials and recommend "cut scores."
Panelists received training to help them understand the content standards and statewide assessment system. Parents and community/business representatives participated fully with educators on the panels. Participants were reimbursed for travel expenses and districts received a stipend to cover substitute teacher costs for panelists.
Phase Two - Process for determining "cut scores"
In December 2006, for example, the panelists used three tools in the process of recommending "cut scores" - an ordered item booklet, impact data, and predictable growth information.
All panelists reviewed a booklet in which test items were presented in order from easiest to most difficult for their grade level and subject area. This, along with three rounds of discussion and individual ballots, helped panelists develop consensus on recommended scores.
All panelists reviewed "impact data" as the group began to reach consensus on a recommended score. This data showed in which classifications students taking the tests today would fall and the percentages of students in each category.
Finally, during the standards setting meeting, Table Leaders across grade levels met to review the suggested "cut scores" and determined how to create a smooth progression from grade level to grade level. In this manner, a set of recommended standards was developed for all grades incorporating grades 4, 6, and 7, which ensured a more predictable growth expectation for students as they move from one grade to another.
Phase Three - Field Review and Public Input
Following the panel meetings, the Department prepared materials to explain the recommended achievement levels at each grade level and seek public input. These materials were widely distributed in three ways:
in face-to-face public meetings held in seven sites around the state, for example, in January 2007, including video-conference hook-ups to additional sites;
on the Oregon Department of Education web site using video and a survey process;
through break-out sessions at various professional conferences and other community or business meetings.
The State Board of Education then reviews the recommended achievement standards at their regular scheduled meetings and receives regular reports on the feedback from the field review and public input prior to adopting the standards.
Watch a 9-minute video about the process Oregon used to develop the recommended Achievement Standards.

Jacking up house!
A few months ago I jacked up my whole house 1.5" I had a big post on here with alot of help.
One corner of my house roughly a 6' span accross the pour wall I jacked it about 1/8-1/4 to high. The french doors around that corner are a little off. But still shut fine also a new crack in second floor ceiling showed up. Along with a few more new cracks in the walls..... Is that enough to leave alone or should I jack house back up on that corner and take a shim out? I used 1/8 and 1/4 metal shims on solid concrete blocks. So i do not see much room for settling. I hate to keep moving the house around. But if needed I will do it.
The cracks showed up as a result of the movement. It's easier to reposition the door than jack the house up again. Easier on both you and the house.

Any thoughts, or clarification? Thanks guys.

Advice on repairing roof leak...
So, I'm dealing with some mold remediation and it looks like I have two sources for the water in the walls: one from a leaky cold water valve, and one from a leak where my two roof faces meet in a corner...
Here's that corner from the inside...
...and the outside...
What would you all advise as the best way to repair the leaky roof? I have plans to build a new roof over the top of this one in about 2 years so the repair doesn't need to be the most perfect, elegant, nor durable fix. I just have a feeling that simply dumping a big batch of tar in the general area won't solve the problem (as I've seen tried on other houses in the past)...
I assume the point of water infiltration has not been pinpointed
Could start by running a hose across the lowest row of shingles, slowly, from one end to the other. look for any water leaks on the interior. Repeat on the second row of shingles, then the third and so on until the leak is located. The fix will be dictated by the location of the leak
I notice missing 3-tab shingles in two locations, a plumbing vent penetration whose boot has been either covered of replaced with a large amount of Vulkem or sealant. Note the EPDM used to manufacture the boots deteriorates in the presence of hydrocarbon based sealants. Flashing around the condenser and skylights as well as the woven valley would also be prime suspects for leaks.
A truly hack fix can be affected by using adhesive backed ice/water shield tucked under a row of good shingles above the leak and adhered over the leak. The ice/water shield is not UV resistant and will break down over months, but I used this technique to stem leaks in areas of my roof giving me time to tear-off, re-flash and re-roof section by section.
For starters it's very difficult to maintain the watertight integrity of a valley with there is something like that evaporative cooler so close to its centerline, and extremely difficult - some roofers will tell you virtually impossible, on a long-term basis - to maintain it when you have a penetration like that skylight as close as you do, at a minimum it's going to require careful detailing with waterproof shingle underlayment on both sides of the valley and up the curb of the skylight.
Home Inspection: "A business with illogically high liability, slim profit margins and limited economies of scale. An incredibly diverse, multi-disciplined consulting service, delivered under difficult in-field circumstances, before a hostile audience in an impossibly short time frame, requiring the production of an extraordinarily detailed technical report, almost instantly, without benefit of research facilities or resources." - Alan Carson
Well I'm close to knowing already where the leak is; I know it's coming in right where the valley meets the exterior wall --but your advice is great! I'll give that a try this weekend and see what I find...
Ok, I'm going to start removing shingles around the area and determine the area where the leak is coming from (although I have a good idea of where based on the markings on the underside). I'm going to use some sort of sealing measure under the shingles --but what about the shingle nails? Even if I'm going to use an IAW shield, won't that still penetrate the barrier or does the shield seal around the nails? Also, I'm thinking of using a liquid sealent like this instead of an IAW shield. What makes a self-adhesive barrier better than a liquid coating?
Ok, I started exposing shingles and it looks like I've found the problem alright! Man, I'm beginning to wonder if the people that did the work on this house 30 years ago did ANYTHING right!! Here's a view of the valley from above...[BTW, the felt backing was already gone --I didn't remove any of it myself]
It looks like they figured that the old roofing material they were building OVER would still hold even if they were opening up a side to be exposed [grr]
Here you can see the join up close...
...and here's how I believe the water has been coming in...
There's TON's of water damage in this area! I'm definitely going to have to do a good repair of this valley so that the water drains straight off the roof and not IN to the structure below. It also looks like they didn't use any felt backing below the shingles in this corner...
Here's where I had a professional roofing company do some patching a couple of years ago to plug the hole where the old swamp cooler was mounted...
Do you guys think I can use some of this roll roofing material to help patch up the valley? I think I can tuck it under the good shingles above and thereby creating a solid seal all the way to the edge of the roof? I'm still going to do some structural repairs while I'm here and then lay some good undercoating as well (probably that IAW stuff...
I don't have any advice on your problem but you get five stars on your annotated pics. With your logical approach and attention to detail I'm sure you'll find a solution.
Ok, here's what I think I can do to prevent the rain runoff from getting under the old roof line...
I need to add an underlay anyways as the original work didn't have any type of backing on parts of the valley. Then I can add flashing at the bottom to prevent the water from flowing under the eave and into the walls...
What I don't know is just how to setup the flashing. I'm thinking I'll need to extend the flashing slightly beyond the roof line so there's no chance of water flowing towards the house...

Flashing there is a Good Idea, otherwise the concentrated water runoff for the left-hand side of the valley will be scouring the right hand side of the roof.
At the upper right-hand corner of the flashing, it should go under the flashing for the vent stack.
Also, you will find that flashing difficult to form as a single piece as the "top" edge is not actually a straight line. Likely, that will end up as a two piece flashing, with the WSU above serving as the primary water seal in the valley.
While you are at it, since you will need to replace the vent's flashing anyway and it's open below, can you re-locate that the vent sack so that its near edge is at least 18-24" from the C/L of the valley? That would make creating a durable water seal much easier.
More generally, where's all that water going?
Looks in the picture like it's pouring down onto a slab, I frequently encounter undermined slabs and wet basements and crawlspaces caused by such runoff, here's an example from yesterday's inspection:
and here's a link to an example of problems caused by a valley similar to the one at your roof:
http://paragoninspects.com/basement-water-problems-home-inspection-evanston-chicago-il-copy.html .
Home Inspection: "A business with illogically high liability, slim profit margins and limited economies of scale. An incredibly diverse, multi-disciplined consulting service, delivered under difficult in-field circumstances, before a hostile audience in an impossibly short time frame, requiring the production of an extraordinarily detailed technical report, almost instantly, without benefit of research facilities or resources." - Alan Carson
Thx but the slylight isn't leaking at all --nor is it the problem.
I've actually decided to relocate the vent pipes, add flashing in the valley area, and use roll roofing to cover up the area completely. Since this roof is only going to be here another year or two before I build an entirely new frame above it, I don't need it to look wonderful --just not leak anymore!
I just had my cold water feed rupture under the slab so I'm currently busy digging a new line so much of the work on the bathroom / kitchen / roof rehab has been put on hold for the time being... I'll update with pics ASAP!!

Investigators knew early on that three Montana children reported missing in August had been living with their father and stepmother on a sailboat in the Bahamas, but could do nothing because of an arduous extradition process, police in Montana said.
A break came with an anonymous tip that the children's stepmother, Angela Bryant, had flown to Hawaii. Police there found Bryant staying with a relative in the Puna district, put the home under surveillance and then arrested her Friday afternoon during a highway traffic stop.
She told police that her husband, James Bryant, and the children were in south Florida after sailing there two weeks ago. Border crews searched off the Florida coast for days, hoping to catch up with the 44-year-old man and the three children while they were still in U.S. waters.
They spotted a 40-foot boat on Tuesday about 30 miles off the Florida coast, attempting to return to Bahamian waters. "So they were making a run for it," Belgrade police Detective Dustin Lensing, the lead investigator in the case, told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle ( http://bit.ly/HmlIFE).
Lensing contacted the Coast Guard, which deployed a vessel to chase down the boat, which had been renamed "to avoid detection," Lensing said.
The children _ 15-year-old Megan Bryant, 13-year-old Maxwell Bryant and 12-year-old Sebastian Bryant _ were on board, along with a dog, a cat, a lizard and a snake. Authorities said they had no reason to believe the children were in any immediate danger.
Their father was arrested on a felony warrant for not returning the children to their mother in Belgrade after a Florida vacation last August. The children were reunited Wednesday with their mother and legal guardian, Kelly Bryant, in Broward County, Fla., after being held at a Broward County shelter with toys, food and other comforts, said Mark Riordan, a spokesman for Florida's Department of Children and Families.
"She's very pleased," Lensing told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel ( http://sunsent.nl/H0X14g). "She has been missing her kids. She has missed birthdays and holidays with them."
The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children has received parental abduction reports for 1,800 children since March 2011, said Maureen Heads, the center's missing children's division supervisor. Of those cases, 490 children are believed to have been taken out of the U.S.
The center is following 1,200 total active parental abduction cases of children taken out of the U.S.
Those numbers are low because not every parental abduction case is reported to the center, she said.
"With international cases, it can be a lengthier process that includes a lot of complications," Heads said. "Whether you have a resolution really depends on the country."
The complications include dealing with a foreign government that may not have a child-abduction agreement with the U.S. and may not even see parental abduction as a crime in some cases.
The U.S. is one of 87 countries that is party to a 1980 Hague convention treaty on international child abduction. Of those 86 other countries, the U.S. has a partnership with 68 on a process to return abducted children.
Court documents show Kelly and James Bryant were divorced in 2005, and had split custody of their children under a court-ordered parenting plan.
James Bryant had custody last summer when the children flew to Florida to visit him and were scheduled to return to Montana on Aug. 17, the court document shows. When the flight landed without the children on board, Kelly Bryant contacted authorities.
Earlier in the summer, James Bryant had rented a boat slip for his sail boat at the Palm Bay Club and Marina in Miami. The boat left Miami on approximately July 27.
The marina manager told Miami police that a man, woman and three children were on board and that the man said they planned to sail to "the islands," possibly the Bahamas, according to an affidavit filed by prosecutors.
Angela Bryant suggested in a Sept. 26 email to her son that she and James Bryant were unhappy with the custody arrangement. She added that returning the children to their mother "isn't acceptable," according to a second affidavit filed in November.
"By the time we got them for the summer, there weren't many ways to fight the custody thing without going back to Montana," she wrote. "We were told we would have to send them back home then start an investigation into Kelly before they could do anything to assist or change parental custody. That just isn't acceptable."
It was not immediately clear what investigation Angela Bryant was referring to.
Lensing said they knew by tracing emails sent from a wireless router that the children had been living with James and Angela Bryant on their boat in the Bahamas. But they couldn't be arrested outside of the U.S., and they faced delays in trying to arrange extradition.
"We just haven't been able to touch them," Lensing said.
Angela Bryant has been arrested by Hawaii County Police and charged with parenting interference. She posted $10,000 bond on Sunday and appeared in Circuit Court on Wednesday. An extradition hearing is scheduled for April 4. She must remain in Hawaii until then.
James Bryant was ordered held in Florida on $100,000 bond and charged with interfering with parenting.
The State Attorney's Office in Broward County said Montana authorities have been notified that Bryant is ready to be returned to their state, and they have 30 days to pick him up.
Gallatin County prosecutor Todd Whipple said it was not immediately clear when the Bryants would return to Montana for arraignment..
Each suspect faces three counts of parenting interference, a felony that carries a maximum penalty in Montana of 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
Associated Press writers Jennifer Kay in Miami and Jennifer Sinco Kelleher in Honolulu contributed to this report.

(12/11/2009) NEW HAVEN- Today marks a significant milestone in the construction of the 360 State Street Project, as the City celebrates the �topping-off� of the building�s 32 stories of steel framing. The $190 million, 700,000 square foot mixed-use development, when completed, will be the second tallest building in New Haven. This LEED Platinum development will be host to 500 apartment units and a full service grocery store. Apartments at 360 State will be ready for occupancy by Summer 2010.
In building construction, topping off is a ceremony held when the last beam is placed at the top of a building. Suffolk Construction, the developer Becker + Becker and City officials will sign this final beam then hoist it into place.
�This is an exciting day in the progress of this project as Suffolk launches the final stages of construction and we experience a continued boom in the City�s economic development activity,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �What�s more impressive is not just the amount of development we are experiencing but that this is happening in a very tough economy. This speaks to the overall economic strength of our City.�
�Construction on this project has run very smoothly and, in fact, this project is right on schedule and is expected to be completed by September 2010� said Bruce Becker of Becker + Becker, the developer of the 360 State Street project. �We are introducing a new product with lots of amenities in New Haven that we feel will be attractive to many new prospective tenants from outside the City including new doctors and researchers coming to work at Smilow Cancer Center, some of the more than 35,000 Yale alumni who live in the NY metropolitan area, empty nesters, young professionals and those simply looking for an easy commute anywhere between New Haven and New York City.�
�The 360 State Street project reflects a great partnership between the developer, the City and the State of Connecticut� said Kelly Murphy, New Haven�s Economic Development Administrator. �This major investment has been a catalyst for other private investments in the City including two projects in the planning stage. This partnership between the City, the State and the private sector is essential to continued economic growth.�
New Haven is currently experiencing an unprecedented building boom with 2 million square feet under construction or recently completed worth $1 billion. Almost half a million square feet in the City are estimated to start construction before the end of the year including the new downtown location of Gateway Community College.

General Assembly: Minister Counsellor Silberberg on "Price Volatility in Food and Related Financial Commodity Markets"
(Statement by Minister Counsellor Silberberg in the Plenary of the General Assembly during the Thematic Debate "Addressing Excessive Price Volatility in Food and Related Financial Commodity Markets")
Mr. President,
dear colleagues,
let me first of all align myself with the statement held by the representative of the EU on behalf of the EU and its Member States earlier this day. In addition I would like to share with you the following remarks:
The German government takes the problem of hunger, which affects more than one billion people in so many regions of the world, extremely seriously and undertakes every possible effort in solving this problem, both through its commitment at international level and through its many bilateral projects in affected countries.
Food, which lays the ground for people's livelihood, is a particularly sensitive commodity. Food price in the long term is driven by fundamental market factors, inter alia the growing world population, changing consumer behaviour in emerging economies, climate change and increasing demand for bio-fuels. Due to these foreseeable developments of fundamental factors the price level will rise in the long term.
In addition, volatility of food prices will continue. In recent years the agricultural commodity markets have seen strong price fluctuations with extraordinary peaks. Their effects on agricultural markets and the food situation have become a serious problem, in particular in the least developed countries.
A strong and effective governance framework in the area of food security can contribute to limiting the effects of extreme price peaks on the population. That is why my government raised the issue of speculation with food at an early stage, e.g. at the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture in January 2011.
But we also need to facilitate more global food security through increased agricultural production and productivity, through enlarged public and private investments, through responsible governance of land tenure, fishery and forests.
Since markets for agricultural commodities and their derivatives are becoming increasingly international, it would be desirable to establish internationally binding and harmonised general conditions. The German government therefore strongly backed the G20 move to make the issue one of its priorities in 2011 and 2012. In addition, FAO – and with regard to the effects on global food security in particular the Committee on World Food Security – as well as other organizations like the OECD are addressing these issues in great detail. My government remains actively engaged in all of these discussions.
The German government stresses that functioning financial markets are a useful instrument in hedging the exposure of both producers and consumers of agricultural commodities to risks associated with physical production and price uncertainty. The G20 found that transparent and appropriately regulated agricultural financial markets are key for having well-functioning physical markets and risk management.
Therefore the G20 decided that supervisory authorities worldwide should get the competence – in addition to other possibilities of intervention – to limit the positions of individual traders at a futures market, in particular in order to support a sufficient liquidity level, to prevent market abuse and to contribute to orderly pricing and billing conditions.
Another decisive step is to improve transparency at futures exchanges and on physical markets. Furthermore, strengthened national or regional commodity exchanges can play an important role to better hedge against price, or weather risks.
Complementary to its engagement for well-functioning agricultural commodity markets, my government supports the implementation of the G20 action plan for an increase in sustainable reliable agricultural production and a comprehensive set of risk management instruments.
My government supports the G20 initiative to regulate the trading of global commodity futures more strictly and curb any excessive price fluctuations on commodity markets that are not backed by fundamental market developments.
Thank you very much!

Serves 4
The key to this salad is salting and draining the cucumbers to wilt them, then pressing them out slightly.
Peel and thinly slice two large cucumbers. Lightly salt them and place in a colander to drain for at least 30 minutes. Then place them in a kitchen towel and gently squeeze out excess moisture.
Place them in a bowl and chill for at least 10 minutes. Just before serving, dress them with 4-5 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add 2 chopped green onions and 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds and toss to blend. Add a dash of pepper or hot pepper oil, if desired, then serve.

Kevin Rudd is a leader who thrives on love, and who for years has kept fighting on the conviction it's still out there.
Was he wrong all this time? How many seats would need to fall for Kevin Rudd to relinquish the belief that only his colleagues stood in the way of his leadership of the Australian people?
Even if the loss is very heavy, I am yet to talk to any Labor person who is absolutely certain that such a result would cause Rudd to retire from politics. After all these years, that's how well they know him: Not at all.

Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott have wrapped up their pitches to voters on a hectic final day of election campaigning.
The Prime Minister has returned to Brisbane, but not before making one final visit to western Sydney, where he declared Labor can still win tomorrow's election.
Mr Abbott began his day in Melbourne, but was back in western Sydney for his last public appearance after facing questions over the bungled release of his party's internet filter policy.
Late polls suggest Labor is heading towards an electoral cliff, but the Government is still is hoping to pick up the remaining undecided voters.

After much anticipation the Opposition will release its policy costings in Melbourne later today.
Treasury spokesman Joe Hockey is expected to say the Coalition is not presenting an alternative budget, but its full savings and spending measures.
Mr Hockey will say the budget would be $6 billion better off over the forward estimates under a Coalition government and debt would be paid down by $16 billion over the period.
The advertising blackout period came into effect overnight, which means Labor will not be able to run radio and television ads attacking the Coalition's figures.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has seized on the latest GDP growth figures as proof of his economic credentials, while ramping up his attack on Tony Abbott, warning the Coalition's "massive cuts" will send Australia into recession.
Today's national accounts show gross domestic product grew by 0.6 per cent in the March quarter, slightly higher than the 0.5 per cent most economists had predicted.
Mr Rudd said much of the growth in the three months to June was due to investment in the public sector - something he warned was a "fundamental part" of bolstering the Australian economy.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has dismissed strident criticism from Reserve Bank board member Roger Corbett as "talking up his own business interests".
The Fairfax chairman, one of Australia's most powerful business leaders, delivered a scathing assessment of the PM on Lateline last night, saying Labor's switch back to Mr Rudd as leader was both "bizarre" and "sad".
"In my view Kevin Rudd is a leader that has really been discredited by his own conduct," Mr Corbett said.

Labor is "sandbagging" in a chaotic campaign to retain the seats it already holds, while the Coalition's campaign rolls on with military precision - that's the latest analysis coming from two of the ABC's correspondents travelling with the respective camps.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd visited safe Labor territory in Melbourne as Tony Abbott was given a victor's welcome in western Sydney and then set out for a high profile Labor scalp elsewhere in the city.

Fairfax chairman Roger Corbett has attacked Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, questioning his credibility and accusing him of destabilising and damaging the Labor Party.
In an interview on the ABC's Lateline program, Mr Corbett said it would have been better for Labor to lose the election with Julia Gillard as leader.
"In my view, Kevin Rudd is a leader that has been really discredited by his own conduct," Mr Corbett, a Reserve Bank board member, said.
Mr Rudd brushed off the comments this morning, saying: "[It's] a free country, anyone can say what they like."

Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott have made what could be their final visits to Tasmania before Saturday's federal election.
Opinion polls point to the Coalition making gains in Tasmania, but the Prime Minister believes Labor has a chance in all five seats.
Tony Abbott did not make any funding pledges on a brief visit to Longford, saying he would not engage in a bidding war with Labor.
Mr Abbott also blamed Tasmania's economic downturn on its Labor-Green power-sharing pact.

Last night on Q&A, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd grossly caricatured the Bible when he suggested that it says slavery is a natural condition.
This comment received the most enormous applause of the night, which incidentally seems to indicate both the depth of biblical illiteracy and the hostility to Christian morality.
Even a cursory reading of the Bible would tell you it never says slavery is a "natural condition". Never. Indeed, the message of the Holy Book is freedom.

What Michael Medved Left Out Of His WSJ Column
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
As Media Matters noted, conservative radio host Michael Medved penned a must-read opinion column in today's Wall Street Journal in which he eviscerates right-wing pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin for pushing the noxious notion that Obama is purposefully weakening and destroying America; that he's some sort of black Manchurian Candidate fixated on stripping us of our freedoms.
Writes Medved:
They label Mr. Obama as the political equivalent of a suicide bomber: so overcome with hatred (or "rage") that he's perfectly willing to blow himself up in order to inflict casualties on a society he loathes.
Noting the absurdity of the claim, not to mention its offensiveness, Medved makes the excellent point that the Obama Derangement Syndrome strategy is a sure-fire loser if the ultimate goal is to block the president's re-election next year:
Republicans already face a formidable challenge in convincing a closely divided electorate that the president pursues wrong-headed policies. They will never succeed in arguing that those initiatives have been cunningly and purposefully designed to wound the republic.
And here's another point Medved could have made: The strategy has already proven itself to be a political loser, yet Obama haters in the far-right press trudge on.
Just look at Obama's job approval rating. It has remained essentially unchanged for the last 18 months. Think about that. Palin and Limbaugh and Glenn Beck have thrown the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink and the basement sink at Obama with their he's-trying-to-destroy-America shtick for going on two years now. And the collective public response? A shrug of the shoulders.
Most voters don't care and they're tuning out the crazy, Obama-hating talk. But yes, other than than that the strategy is working to perfection.

When Is It Right to Fight? Just War Theory and the Individual-Centric Approach

Recent work in the ethics of war has done much to challenge the collectivism of the convention-based, Walzerian just war theory. In doing so, it raises the question of when it is permissible for soldiers to resort to force. This article considers this issue and, in doing so, argues that the rejection of collectivism in just war should go further still. More specifically, it defends the 'Individual-Centric Approach' to the deep morality of war, which asserts that the justifiability of an individual's contribution to the war, rather than the justifiability of the war more generally, determines the moral acceptability of their participation. It then goes on to present five implications of the Individual-Centric Approach, including for individual liability to attack in war.

3. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Audemars Piguet
The most famous watch design of the modern era is 40 years old this year — which is longer than many marriages — and its design has barely changed in its lifetime. It's the first luxury watch made of steel, and it revolutionised watch design with its octagonal, porthole-style bezel with exposed screws. It's the perfect mixture of sportiness and urbanity, and will look as good with that wedding tux as it will on the beach during the honeymoon (or when you celebrate your anniversary with your grandkids a few decades down the line).

Well, the river is blown all to heck, Sauvie is flooded, and there isn't enough time left this season to bother with scouting new areas....so i guess i'm going to hang 'em for this year and quit while i have lots of memories of feet down shooting and piles of limits fresh in my head. no sense in beating myself up to scrap out one Bufflehead for a days work when i've had such a great season, one the best recently, fresh in my mind.
It's been a good one..maybe i'll try to scrape up a grouse or two before end of january.
