An Investment Opinion
by Yi-Hsin Chang
UPS Makes Wish Come True
A couple of months ago, as I was brainstorming for a special feature on "Companies Fools Wish Were Public," I chose J. Crew and United Parcel Service, commonly known as UPS. Well, one of them granted my wish -- I won't be so bold as to say I caused the company's sudden change of plans, though it's fun to joke about it.
Yesterday, Atlanta-based shipping giant United Parcel Service of America announced that it has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to make an initial public offering (IPO) of about 10% of the company's shares by the end of this year. If all goes as planned, UPS will trade under the ticker symbol "UPS" on the New York Stock Exchange.
If you read my earlier article on why I wished UPS were public, you'd know that, unlike most privately held companies, UPS is already fairly widely held. About 125,000 employees own stock through the company's employee stock purchase program, meaning that around 38% of its 327,000 employees hold shares in the company. That's quite a substantial number, considering the program is completely voluntary, and employees must work for the company for at least one year to become eligible.
The interesting thing is that, again unlike that of most private companies, UPS stock is not illiquid. The company's board sets the stock price on a quarterly basis -- as of May, the stock was priced at $47 a share and paid a $0.55 dividend twice a year. Employees can purchase shares from and sell shares to the company at the set price. The main difference, of course, is that the company, not a public market, determines what the shares are worth.
With the IPO, UPS will now get a market valuation. Current employee-shareowners will get Class A common stock, and a new class of B shares will be offered to the public. Essentially, Class B shares will cost the same as Class A shares, but Class B shareowners will have only one-tenth the voting power. Class A shares can be converted to Class B shares upon transfer or sale, giving employee-shareowners the ability to sell their shares to anyone, not just to the company.
UPS currently has 550 million shares outstanding, so 10% of that would involve 55 million shares. Rounding up from the May share price of $47, we can guess that the shares might be offered at $50 to $55 a share some time in the next few months. That would gross $2.75 billion to $3 billion, which is nothing to sneeze at, even by a company that generated $24.8 billion in revenues last year.
Incidentally, a quarter before, in February, UPS stock had been valued at $43, so the stock essentially rose 9.3% in one quarter and 38% in one year from $34 a share. Not bad, especially since the public market will likely be more liberal in rewarding the company for strong operating results.
When I talked to Susan Rosenberg in the PR department at UPS back in May, she told me that the company had no plans to go public. So what changed management's mind, and why now?
That's exactly what I wanted to ask UPS Chairman and CEO Jim Kelly when I talked to him today. Here's what he said: "We're doing it now because we operate in a very competitive, global environment, and we're looking to stay ahead and maintain our leadership in the areas in the industries where we conduct business. This will provide us additional financial flexibility to pursue strategic alliances and acquisitions going forward. We think that that'll be necessary to compete in this new environment."
Kelly later explained that "strategic acquisitions" could be related to its core delivery business, its logistics business, or its e-commerce business. "It may be one, or it may be a combination of all three of those areas," he said.
While FDX Corp.'s (NYSE: FDX) Federal Express business got a lot of hype (including the cover of Barron's magazine) a while back, UPS is, in fact, the shipping industry leader in e-commerce and ships for 6 of the top 10 Internet retailers including Amazon.com. According to a Zona Research study, UPS delivered 55% of online purchases during the 1998 holiday season.
But Chairman Kelly declined to speculate on how the market might value UPS and whether it will get a higher valuation because of the vast amount of Internet business it does. "We'd like to be viewed as a 92-year-old company that has a great brand that does a wonderful job at what we do, and that certainly includes electronic commerce."
I am still very impressed with UPS. The IPO will no doubt prove to be incredibly popular. My only reservation thus far is the risk of a strike at the company. As you might recall, the 1997 nationwide strike -- the only one of that magnitude in the company's long history -- hurt the nation's economy, not to mention UPS's revenues and earnings. But Kelly called the strike "ancient history" and said management has worked to establish relationships with truck drivers and the unions. The current contract doesn't expire until 2002.
Now that my wish for UPS to go public is coming true, dare I wish for shares in the IPO?

My wife's family is from CA, I'm from Louisiana, things are sure different between the two states, I'm always intrigued to visit with them, and they are always intrigued that I'd actually eat a squirrel.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Personally, I sympathize with Rob. Being a "New Yorka" I have gotten my fair share from fellow forum members. I think it's ok to have a little fun with us who live in the tightly controlled states. I just take it and keep smiling, because I know it's (mostly) in jest.
What does irk me, however, is when other members say truly disrepectful things or bash the state you're in. There is no room for that. We all live where we do for many reasons, and have to make the best of what's on our plate.
So Rob, keep fighting to get the laws changed, relax and kick back a little on this forum, and know that most of us are just having a good time communicating with members around the country, and don't mean to insult fellow members.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch; Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."

Michael Savage uses San FranSICKO and LOST Angeles all the time.
I grew up in New York State, (Evil Empire, The Welfare State, etc) Lived in Minnesota (10,000 puddles, Fargo lite, etc) and now live in Tennessee (insert banjo joke here).
All states have their short comings. Some WAY worse than others in the eyes of liberty loving folks.
Expressions like comi-fornia and it's variants to me speak to the frustration many have with what looks like an eroding ethic, liberty and common sense that seems to be spreading from both coasts inward.
You live there and like it? Great. Enjoy. Live there and DON'T like it? Figure out how to change it, or escape to somewhere more to your liking.
Grow a thicker skin and let it roll off your back, so long as someone isn't personally attacking you.
The rest of us? Speaking for me, I just hate that the weirdness and nanny-state ism seems to not only have ruined a beautiful state, but also leaches out to influence those elsewhere with a group-think mentality.
"Don't Tread on Me"
To the OP, I think the "big idea" (other than people kicking you around, not nice!) is that the administrators try to avoid that kind of thing. My advice would be to contact others who use a term you have a hard time with via PM and POLITELY let them know your concerns. Then let it go.
"...whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
Christianity and Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective
Many of the Commifornians were moving to Colorado in droves and have been changing the political landscape here drastically.
Last month, Guns and Ammo had a letter from the editor about closing their doors in CA and moving to IL all because of CA's continued attack on gun rights. I didn't think it was much of an arguement when you hold up IL as being that much better.
"Run for your life from the man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another-their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun."

When this influx started I used to see a bumper sticker that said "Don't Californicate Colorado". It's odd how people who can no longer stand the snakepit they live in, set about re-creating it in the place they relocate to.Many of the Commifornians were moving to Colorado in droves and have been changing the political landscape here drastically.

If you buy a TLC-2000 spend the extra $150 or what ever it was for the variable speed blower, you won't regret it. On warm days no blower and on cold days use the blower and not crank up the heat as much. On real cold days you can crank both up. On real cold days I never have to use the fan above about half speed. Another plus is when running the fan on low or slightly higher you can't even hear the fan. It will move 135 CFM at max speed.
Good luck... Your going to enjoy burning coal.
I bought this fan
**Broken Link(s) Removed**
& conne cted it up with a few fittings for very little money. It is very quiet, 3 speed & sits on the floor behind the stove. If it goes, I'm only out less than $30.00
My wife would go nuts if I did that, after spending what we did and not have everything match up.
I doubt I will ever buy another stove before I end up sleeping with my ashes. Besides now we are both very warm and happy.

Dignity, Destruction, Wealth, and Waste:
Social and Environmental (In)Justice in South Asian Religions
The Conference on the Study of Religions of India (CSRI) invites proposals for its upcoming Annual Meeting to be held at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo Michigan from June 23 to June 27, 2016. The conference theme is "Dignity, Destruction, Wealth, and Waste: Social and Environmental (In)Justice in South Asian Religions."We invite proposals that focus on religious responses and contributions to societal and environmental justice and injustice. Possible approaches could include explorations of the ways in which religious texts, symbols, practices, stories, leaders, or movements defend or curtail human or environmental well being; religious debates about social inequities or threats to the environment; or analyses of particular religious communities' environmental concerns or social orderings. Conference organizers (Corinne Dempsey, Reid Locklin, Karen Pechilis, and Brian Pennington) welcome individual paper proposals of no longer than 250 words, to be submitted to the program coordinator, Corinne Dempsey (firstname.lastname@example.com), no later than March 1, 2016.
The Conference on the Study of Religions of India (CSRI) is a forum of exchange for scholars engaged in the academic study of the religious traditions of India in both native and diasporic contexts. It provides scholars a leisurely, collegial environment in which to present their work. Emphasis will be placed on informality among peers. Committed to critical and creative inquiry, the conference is not an advocacy forum for the religions of India and does not endorse or proscribe a particular point of view. Only scholars with terminal degrees in religious studies or related academic disciplines (like Anthropology, Art, Ethnomusicology, History, Philosophy, Theology, Women Studies) researching and/or teaching in the area of religions of India are eligible to present, attend, and participate in the conference. Graduate students in advanced standing in any of these disciplines are also welcome to participate in the conference.

Judging Kids Artwork
We get it, you LOVE the art work your kids bring home. However, isn't it a little fun to point and laugh at it too?
We understand where you're coming from. Your four year old took the time (with their still developing brains) to paint you a picture and that's awesome. However, don't you still feel like it's a bit fun to judge them for the lack of skill? C'mon, it is sometimes, right?
So, there's this guy…and he's a bit vulgar…so, if you're not into that sort of thing you may not want to visit his website…but he basically grades art of young children.
If you're in the right mood it will probably take up the majority of your afternoon with laughter.
We'd post some of it here…but, we'd get into trouble. Yikes.

The screen itself is a pretty good example with even lighting across the entire surface and not a hint of a dead pixel anywhere to be seen. There's no glossy, high contrast coating on this screen, but that's not surprising when you consider that ThinkPads are traditionally business notebooks. In fact, that's why it's taken so long for the ThinkPad range to transition to a widescreen aspect ratio, since the corporate user tends to be far more set in his/her ways than the general consumer.
You'll probably notice from the pictures that there is a very wide bezel surrounding the screen. This is testament to the fact that you can get a T-Series with a larger 15.4in screen. In fact, the top of the range, mobile workstation model - the T61p - ships with a 15.4in screen that sports a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200! I'll hopefully be getting one of those in for review soon, so watch this space.
The keyboards on ThinkPads have a somewhat legendary reputation, and with good reason. Despite the fact that other notebook manufacturers have improved their keyboard design over the last few years, the ThinkPad keyboard remains head and shoulders above the competition. Thankfully the keyboard on the T61 lives up to the reputation set by its forebears. It's hard to describe just how great it is to type on this machine, but as a point of reference, I prefer typing on the T61 to using the full size keyboard attached to my desktop PC - it really is that good.
At a basic level, ThinkPad keyboards just have the perfect feel. The travel is just the right length, with a very solid break that queues your finger up for the next key strike perfectly. The size of each key is equally perfect, with just enough dishing to draw your fingertip into the centre of each key as you strike. All the right keys are large, as you'd hope - Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Backspace and Return. While the cursor keys are slightly dropped from the main group, but also feature finger shaped cut aways in the wrist rest, so it's easy to slide your fingers into place. If there is one thing wrong with this keyboard, it's that Lenovo still insists on placing the Fn key at the bottom left, rather than the Ctrl key, which can be annoying for anyone that uses a lot of keyboard shortcuts.

The Oracle Arena is situated in Oakland, California. It is the oldest venue among all the NBA games hosting arenas. The Oracle Arena was known as the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena when it was first constructed in 1996 but that name has now evolved into various new names like the Oakland Arena or simply The O. The arena has been called home by the NBA franchise the Golden State Warriors since the year 1971. Other teams like the California Golden Bears have played at The O for two seasons as well while their own arena was being reconstructed.
The Oracle Arena might be standing for our forty years but it has seen its share of reconstruction and renovation to upgrade it to today's standards. Initially it had a seating capacity of only fifteen thousand which made it one of the smallest venues in the NBA. The authorities had two choices; either go for a new bigger arena or upgrade the current facilities. The latter option was chosen and the renovation work started in 1996. It was completed in time before the 1997 season with an estimated cost of one hundred and twenty one million dollars. During the renovation of the arena the Warriors moved to San Jose for that one season only. The new renovated Oracle Arena had a seating capacity of over nineteen thousand, with a brand new LED scoreboard that hung centrally from the roof.
The Oracle Corporation and the Golden State Warriors announced in 2006 that they had reached an agreement to change the name of the venue to The Oracle but the management will remain the same i-e Oakland-Alameda County Authority (JPA) and SMG. When the announcement was formally made, after the deal being approved by the JPA, the name of the venue was the Oracle Arena.
The Oracle Arena is the oldest venue in the NBA for sure but it hasn't remained stagnant. The management has made sure it keeps on improving with time and that effort and vision has turned it into a stunning new modern building. Every event hosted at The O like WWE shows, concerts, UFC fights and of course NBA games have attracted fans to buy the Oracle Arena tickets to turn their time there into one memorable experience.

On Monday I wrote about a T-shirt that says "Trust me, I'm a lawyer." It got me thinking, what other slogans
would be appropriate for a lawyer to wear on a T-shirt?
A quick Web search yielded several amusing results such as, "Lawyer: Someone who writes a 10,000 word document and calls it a 'brief';" "I listen to the voices in my briefs;" "Keep calm and call your lawyer;" and my favorite, "He who laughs last has the best lawyer."
Have you seen any other amusing lawyer T-shirts? What catchy saying would you add to a T-shirt? And perhaps most importantly, would you wear one of these shirts?

Social media e-discovery: its time is here
Social media is an important source of discovery in an increasing range of cases and can often yield the most important evidence. Social media and its derivatives are prevalent with many people using social media as their dominant communications channel, preferring some in-app messaging tools to e-mail. Corporations, too, are using these media to target and communicate with their customers. Ignore these sources and you leave potentially game-changing evidence on the table.

Cloak and dagger: privacy and defamation in social media
Parody accounts have added some levity to our daily social media browsing but they can also cross the line on occasion. Whether it's our favourite political target like Stephen Harper, or an entertainer like Bill Murray, parody accounts seemingly have the ability to say publically, under a cloak of anonymity, what we would never dream of saying to someone one-on-one.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
We can answer this better if you provide the model number. You find this on the range when you open the storage drawer and sticker to one side. You probably have to turn you head sideways to read it.
I did want to let you know that I found that there are no Frigidaire or Government mandated recalls on the range from 1998 to the present. However, I will check to see if there is a Factory service bulletin on this issue.
I also should let you know that I have seen similar issues with vents on other brands. So, unfortunately is is not unheard of.
Although, we could find no Factory Service Bulletin there still could be one (that was not available to us).
If you call Frigidaire directly at 1-706-860-4110 with your model and serial number they may be able to advise you on some type of fix for this issue.

Transmission Problem
Wanted to get some opinions here:
I just had a long talk with someone that schooled me on transmissions. They are fluid driven and require ample ATF to work the clutch plates. When you do not have sufficient fluid, the plates cannot work properly and you experience "slipping" due to lack of pressure. Makes sense to me now that I understand the workings. If you ever experience the slipping, change your filter because the fibers from the clutch plates are wearing and blocking your filter, which causes the fluid not to circulate.
Ok now let me back it up about a month I guess. I was experiencing slipping, although it was only intermittent and minor. It was worse in cold weather due to the thickness of the atf being cold I think. I thought it was a coil pack on one of my cylinders because I had this problem before and it felt similar. Turns out I was wrong. The other day I heard a whinning sound and pulled the car over immediatly. Looked under car and there was oil everywhere. Upon further review at the mechanics shop, it was not oil but ATF fluid. The front seal of my transmission blew out. The cause, I am not sure, perhaps the pump was getting hot and breaking down the seal.
My question or advice I am seeking is, when mechanic pulls tranny, he stated you may be able to just replace the seal and put it back in ($1200) or you might need to find another transmission and quoted $2500 and $3800 for a 166k and 86k mile tranny available. Geez, if only I knew now what I knew then I could have changed the filter. My dilema is if he comes back and says put the seal in, do I listen and take that risk? Are there questions I can ask him to maybe figure out if this is the best approach? How fast does the fiber portion of clutch plates break down?
The car has 207k miles on it and I am not really in a position to go buy a car and I am having trouble justifing a 5k spend on a transmission. The easy choice is the $1200 because I have that available but it hurts!!! Gonna make for a lame xmas for my sons
Any advice, guidance, help, etc. would be greatly appreciated

My favorite brush is one that I've talked about a lot, though I have to admit that there were 2 close runner ups brushes that you should know about. The first is my blush brush, which was a freebie in a Clinique gift with purchase well over 10 years ago. I should probably go and pick up a new one (with nicer bristles), it looks like this blush brush is the same size and shape as the brush that fits my cheeks so perfectly. I'm also a huge fan of that $1 ELF eye shadow brush, it's a great size for apply all over the lid, the bristles are soft and hold just the right amount of product. I have 3 of them and I have to restrain myself from picking up more when I see it in stock at the store!
The brush I've chosen to feature is one that changed how I do my eye makeup for my regular, every day looks. For years I'd been trying to perfect a darker crease, and it turned out that I really needed a brush that fit my eye a bit better. For me, that was the crease brush that came in my Laura Mercier Luxe Eye Portfolio, but I pulled out the brushes that were a similar shape so you could check them out.
2. ELF Contour Brush, $3: This is a bit flatter than the other brushes and rather than using it in my crease I've found it works great for adding definition to my outer lid.
3. Coastal Scents Classic Detail Pointed Brush, $2.49: Really, this is a cheaper alternative to #4.
4. MAC 219 Pencil Brush, $25: This brush is a classic, and a lot of people do use it for their crease. I've definitely found that it is too small to work in my crease. It's great for adding a little extra color under my eye or if I want to add a little highlight to my inner eye corner.
5. MAC 226 Small Tapered Blending Brush, not currently available: Many people really, really love the 226 for their crease. It is a slightly smaller, thinner and more pointed version of the 224. For me it is a tad too big for my crease, instead I like to use it for blending that area.
My friend Karen over at Makeup and Beauty Blog has a great post on why you should covet it. It is not part of the permanent collection, it comes and goes as a specially available brush with different collections. Mine is from a holiday eye set, so watch for it in those sets as well.
6. Laura Mercier Eye Crease Travel Brush: For all the reasons that Karen loves the 226, I love the LM Crease brush. It is a little bit shorter and the tip isn't quite as pointed, which fits into my crease a bit better. It's about... 90% the size of the 226, which is just a touch too big for apply makeup into my crease, and the tip is a little more blunted.
What do you use to apply shadow to your crease?

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?

The World Cup of Robots: Bend It Like R2D2
On June 19th, devices from world-renowned universities will compete in Singapore for RoboCup 2010.
Humans aren't the only ones playing soccer right now. In just two days, robots from world-renowned universities will compete in Singapore for RoboCup 2010. This is the other World Cup, where players range from 6″ inch wheeled Wall-E's to 5′ foot tall humanoids.
The RoboCup, now in its 14th year, is the world's largest robotics and artificial intelligence event with more than 400 teams from dozens of countries. Its participants aim to develop autonomous soccer playing robots that will one day be able to play against humans.
The RoboCup's mission statement:
By 2050, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win the game, complying with the official rule of the FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup.
It may seem far-fetched that robots will ever be able to compete with the likes of Messi or Ronaldo but 40 years is a long time in terms of technology. Remember Deep Blue? IBM's Chess playing robot that beat the World's Chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997? Robotics have come a long way since then. For now researchers explore fundamental questions in robot development: How well can robots move and think on their feet? And how well can they score goals?
Let the games begin! See this year's top players:
1) Carnegie Mellon University (known as the Brazil of robot soccer) has developed a physics based motion planning AI for their dribbling bots. In conjunction with a global dual-camera overhead vision system, CMU roboticists have programmed their robots with the knowledge of the physics of ball movements, so the controlling computer can better predict where the ball is going to be which can then position the robots better on the field.
Physics-Based Motion Planning for Robot Soccer Dribbling
2) RoboErectus was developed at the Robotics Center of Singapore Polytechnic. While he's kind of a shrimp, he's got some pretty sweet moves.
RoboErectus Kidsize RoboCup 2010 Qualification Video
3) Dutch Robotics, an initiative from TU Delft, TU Eindhoven and University of Twente, presents TUlip, a humanoid soccer robot to compete in the Adultsize League. TUlip looks a bit unsteady but this video's music is very inspirational.
See the video here:
Dutch Robotics – Robocup 2010 Qualification Video
4) The autonomous robot soccer team from Virginia Tech (RoMeLa) and the University of Pennsylvania (GRASP) for the RoboCup 2010 Humanoid League.
See the video here:
Team DARwIn RoboCup 2010 Qualification
5) These bots communicate wirelessly or through tones. Aylin Caliskan, one of the humans behind Penn's team says that robots beating humans by 2050 "Should be 100 percent possible."
See the video here:
While some of these robots look like they'd have a tough time playing pre-schoolers, the advances from year's past have been outstanding. At RoboCup there are several different leagues including standard bots, humanoid bots and the wheeled division. The standard platform league means all teams get the same type of factory-made, 22-inch-tall robots, but must write their own computer programs to guide them. Each team buys three robots that each cost over $17,000 on one retailer's website. Another division requires engineers to build their own humanoid robots in addition to writing the computer code.
RoboCup is a celebration of science, engineering and technology. Without all the swearing, pushing and penalties it might not be as exciting as the World Cup in South Africa, but it's hard not to be inspired by our world's best and brightest.

SB Chevy woes
Thought maybe someone out there would have idea about a problem a friend of mine is having with his 41 Chevy. We built this car about 2 years ago, it had 350/350 eng/trans, he burned the engine up then changed it out with a 283. It was running a HEI distributor which went bad and we installed old OEM points distributor with Pertronix upgrade. Are running resistor type coil as suggested. The engine starts great, idles really good, but when you put in gear and try to accelerate it pops and falls on it's face, if you feather the throttle it will go but as soon as you get into it, it pops and goes dead. I suggested to him that vacuum advance could be the problem what do you all think. Plan on checking all the grounds to the chassis and engine. Engine timing has been checked and re-checked. Carb is new and I don't really think it is a fuel problem. Any suggestion is appreciated.

The Aston Martin DB9 1M that you see here is apparently how Aston Martin's Facebook fans would design it. Unveiled last week at Aston martin's Gaydon headquarters, the DB9 1M marks the end of the commemorative campaign to celebrate reaching one million fans on Facebook.
The campaign involved Aston Martin giving its facebook fans, the chance to specify their dream Aston Martin. Fans decided on all aspects of the car including the model itself to the interior trim and then finally choosing the exterior 'Aero' wrap, black brake calipers and 20-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels. No changes were made to the DB9's 6.0L V12 engine, which puts out 470 horsepower and 443 lb-ft.of torque.

Try and Try Again: A Newark School's Make-or-Break Year
Erskine Glover, the principal of Quitman Street Renew School, sees progress throughout the halls of his school.
There's the boy who ran away from home last fall, but continued to show up for class every day. The hallways teem with displays of student work. And three teachers — deemed model instructors by the district — now draw colleagues from around the city who come to watch them teach. More than 80 percent of students in kindergarten through eighth grade last year showed growth in their academic performance.
But so far, none of that has translated to an increase in the school's all-important state test scores, which last spring were among the bottom 2 percent in New Jersey.
Nearly two years ago, Glover was handed hiring and spending power by Newark Superintendent Cami Anderson to see what he could do as principal of Quitman Street Renew School, a perennially low performer in the impoverished Central Ward.
But rehiring half of his staff in one summer posed new problems — the entire middle school math and science teaching staff quit midway through their first year. That dropped test scores when students had to rely on substitute teachers for the remainder of the year.
This year, several new strategies are in place, from a longer day to after-school tutoring to a new math curriculum. In third- through fifth-grade classrooms, students are receiving more personalized instruction as online learning allows teachers to work with small groups. Glover and others on his staff are struggling with health issues while working excruciating hours. The pressure is palpable.
"It looks like we're not even doing anything," Glover said. Nothing could have been further from the truth. He and numerous staff members have been putting in tremendous hours, in some cases — his included — at the expense of their own health.
Glover is driving his staff and students to improve on this spring's NJ Ask tests — not just because he has his own goals of improving the school. He also wants to avoid the possibility of Quitman being placed on a school closure list next year.
Yet the challenge to get scores up grows steeper, as the student population continues to grow even needier. Staff members are identifying more children with untreated mental health issues. Quitman received new students from a school for children with behavioral disabilities that was shut down and from two charter schools closed for poor performance. At the same time, high-performing charter schools are recruiting away some of Quitman's best and brightest.
The Hechinger Report, in partnership with WNYC and NJ Spotlight, has been following Glover's struggle to remake the school since the beginning of Newark's "renew school" initiative in 2012. Click here to read the latest installment in "A Promise to Renew" series.

Even though this statue of a king is uninscribed, its distinctive features identify it without any doubt as a portrait of Amenemhat III. The heavy brows, prominent cheekbones, hollow cheeks, jutting lower jaw, and tightly bunched muscles at the corners of the mouth make a strikingly realistic impression. Not realistic, however, are the king's supersized ears. Instead, they symbolize the ruler's willingness to hear the prayers of his people.
If this image had been carved in relief, the king's hands would have been uplifted in worship. Here, however, to prevent the breakage of projecting limbs, the ruler's hands are pressed flat against the front of his kilt, a portion of which is looped over his belt.

Second Tuesday Science Café Kicks Off
Last month, more than 80 faculty and staff gathered over lunch in the Scheuer Room of Kohlberg Hall for the debut of Second Tuesday Science Café. Led by Amy Cheng Vollmer, professor of biology and organizer of the monthly science lecture series, the first talk provided a behind-the-scenes look at the human immune system in action.
"I finally have a clear understanding of the differences between bacteria and viruses," says Tania Johnson, associate director of corporate, foundation, and government relations. "I am very excited about the Second Tuesday Science Café series. Dr. Vollmer did a superb job of communicating in an accessible and engaging manner how microbiology and the decisions we make in our daily lives impact our health and well-being."
Intended for individuals with no formal science background, Second Tuesday Science Café is a new monthly lunchtime lecture series that will be provided by members of the College's science faculty. Vollmer's motivation for organizing the series grew from her passion for advancing adult science literacy and her participation in Swarthmore's Life Long Learning program. She has hosted five non-biology faculty members in her lab since 2006; Leslie Hempling and Melissa Mandos of the Dean's Office spent this past summer isolating bacteria with Vollmer.
"I look forward to using Second Tuesday Science Café as a way to increase science literacy and to make science more accessible to Swarthmore faculty and staff," says Vollmer. "Science and technology impact our lives in so many ways. Our aim is to demystify the concepts and processes, and to create a comfortable environment for q&a, discussion, and the exchange of ideas."
A member of the Swarthmore faculty since 1989, Vollmer is an authority on microbiology and biotechnology, and president of the Waksman Foundation for Microbiology. She took several questions from the audience before closing her talk with one lasting impression. "Solving the complex problems of our time involves multidisciplinary knowledge," said Vollmer. "That's why a liberal arts education is so important."
The Second Tuesday Science Café is made possible with funding and administrative support from the College's new Institute for the Liberal Arts, which strives to foster and facilitate conversations and innovations to help advance and evolve liberal arts education.
The following Second Tuesday Science Café lectures will be hosted through the end of the year. Stay tuned for the 2013 line-up.
Oct. 9: "Pennsylvania's K-12 'High Stakes' Testing System"
Presented by Lynne Steuerle Schofield '99, assistant professor of statistics
Nov. 13: "Capturing the Sun in the lab: prospects for fusion energy"
Presented by Michael Brown, professor of physics
Dec. 11: "Hot plants: building tools to understand how plants sense high temperatures"
Presented by Nick Kaplinsky, associate professor of biology
Second Tuesday Science Café occurs the second Tuesday of each month, from 12-1 p.m., in the Scheuer Room in Kohlberg Hall. Talks are led by members of the science faculty. They are 35 minutes in length and are followed by a question and answer period. A light lunch is also provided.

Press Release Missouri Attorney General's Office
Jefferson City, Mo.— Attorney General Chris Koster said today Medicaid recipient Carolyn Koenig, 50, and three of her former in-home personal care attendants – Casie Koenig, 32; Melinda Alterauge, 47; and Alethea Stemick, 30 – have been charged with various counts of Medicaid Fraud and Stealing by Deceit for their involvement in a scheme that defrauded Missouri's Medicaid system. The Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is assisting Texas County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Anderson in the prosecutions.
Koster said his Medicaid Fraud Control Unit led the investigation after a personal care company that supervised Carolyn Koenig's services and employed some of her attendants reported its suspicions of fraud to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and the Greene County Sheriff's Department.
The investigation revealed that Koenig and her attendants caused Medicaid to be fraudulently billed almost $13,000 between 2009 and 2011 for personal care services that were not actually provided.
The defendants face multiple felony and other charges for submitting falsified timesheets to Medicaid providers.
As in all criminal cases, the charges against the defendants are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until or unless proven guilty in a court of law.

What are your pick-me-ups?
We've all been there -- stressed, out of sorts, not our usual selves. What kinds of things do you do to feel a bit better?
I need some tips too! Lately I've been feeling very low...not always, but often.
Usually what helps me is listening to my favorite artists on my iPod and sipping a HUGE mug of hot tea. It must be a gigantic, oversized mug or the moment is ruined :) And no TV, no internet, just some music and tea. :coffee2:
That will usually calm me down for awhile...
Also, I'll call my mom and she usually helps me feel a bit better.
I love to bake.
Of course then I eat :lol:
Sitting down and relaxing with a beverage I like--coffee, beer, or wine.
A good workout, followed by a relaxing bath.
If money's no object, a massage.
A nice bag of microwave popcorn, hot cocoa and a L&O marathon. Like, that is the best.
A good hard cardio workout.
My right playlist on my ipod.
A stack of good magazines.
Doing nothing if things have been particularly hectic.
A cuddle with my 7 year old son.
A nice glass of Shiraz always does it for me :) I wait until night time though :laughing7: if it's been a bad day I know once I sit back sip some wine and watch a movie all the stress goes away......
A good hard workout. Can't feel bad with feel good endorphines racing through my system.
Good coffee (even decaff.) and a few c.chip cookies!:coffee2:
Hugging my sweet Rocky-doggie!
Good sex.
Talking to my husband or sister.
A sappy, feel good movie and a good cry always makes me feel better.
+1 on the workout suggestion. Sometimes that is the only thing that will do it for me. Especially running ... sometimes it is like leaving the world and coming back in a different place. I love it.
A little retail therapy
I don't know what I do to feel better. For the most part I have things that I do to try to avoid utter disaster. For example, i take out the lightbulbs in the bathroom so that I don't pick at my face, and balance my checkbook to reassure myself that it would be irresponsible to go shopping and spend money that I don't have...
You know what though... now that I think of it, comfy socks, whipped cream and television are three things that make me feel very good. :)
My knowledge of history is pretty weak so lately I've been watching interesting videos on youtube where I can learn more. I full screen them on my computer, and lay back on my bed and watch. Recently looked at a BBC production called The Two Winstons about Winston Churchill and Orwel's 1984 character Winston Smith. I had no idea England debated going along with Hitler at first for example so it was fascinating to learn that. About to watch a 15 part BBC series on the History of Britian. Though many are dry, some historical documentaries are truly lively and engrossing.
Getting lost learning about something much bigger than myself or any one person has a way of taking me from my own problems. Not ignoring them, but it lends perspective in a way. Where history repeats, the machinations of men, how other people or groups screw harmony up, how it's overcome, or not. How the world we live in now came to be shaped the way it is, great sacrifice, turmoil, triumph, etc.
Yoga. Listening to relaxing music. A glass of wine. Playing with the cat.
A good sweaty workout, a good microbrew, or chocolate cupcakes with lots of frosting.
Whiskey, rocks.
No, seriously. I also love to bake and it's so relaxing and therapeutic for me.
I also like to relax with one of my favorite magazines (if I have one - I devour them as soon as they come in!) or with a good book.
Exercising doesn't help me. I hate working out and it just pisses me off to exercise when I'm already stressed.
When I'm in a bad mood, I'm kinda like, I'm already pissed, might as well excercise.
I also like a nice big mug of hot chocolate with tons of whipped cream (the milk-to-cream ratio's about the same) and watch something light and fluffy.
Hot shower and washing my hair. I love washing my hair, it's so relaxing.
Some really good music and an alchoholic beverage and I always feel better
Music, food (chocolates or ice cream), exercise
A glass of wine or two.
Hugs from dogs (my dogs are very huggy).
For retail therapy, I like Target.com's clearance section. Last week I got a dress, two pairs of cute shoes, and a cute flouncy coat all for under $50 with shipping.

But how much patience are they going to have with a mcconnell who blocks a tax cut for them?
Crossroads has another potential super PAC weapon to assist mcconnell in a primary fight if he needs it.
In 2008, mcconnell ran ads touting the billions of dollars of pork he had brought home to Kentucky over the years.
That formula looks like what mcconnell and Law are banking on to help the senator win another term.
Well, mcconnell made Romney look like an ironman of forthright constancy.
Judge mcconnell took his seat on the bench at ten o'clock, and Mr. Hynes immediately commenced his address.
Judge mcconnell said the jury could have the map but not at this particular time.
I was on the staff of Colonel mcconnell, who commanded an infantry brigade in the absence of its regular commander.
Promptly at the regular hour for resuming the proceedings, Judge mcconnell put in an appearance.
As for books, mcconnell, with true Western generosity, offered to loan such as would be of immediate use.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
600 Wyndhurst Ave, suite 112, Baltimore, Maryland 21210
When working with children, I believe that the family has to be involved and invested in the therapeutic process in order to make the necessary changes. One family members concerns can lead to problems in the whole family. My main goal when working with families is determine what every members' goal of therapy is and see how we can bridge the differences and come to a common goal that satisfies all family members.

We are all relational beings, living within interactive, interpersonal systems. How we relate to our most significant others (spouse, children, parents, etc.) can sometimes lapse into unpleasant scripts, patterns and powerful undercurrents of action-reaction, negative group-think, and ineffective authority structures. Restoring and sustaining a sense of effective functioning, wellness and harmony (shalom) within family relationships can be aided by engaging the services of a professional counselor with a family systems approach. I use my skills and training to help family members learn and practice better ways to empathize, communicate, resolve conflicts, and collaborate with each other.

With a strong heroine in mind for SS14, Trager Delaney have re-worked signature pieces while continuing to explore new shapes and fabrics, against a palate of Petrol, Scarlet, Powder Pink, Black and Ivory.
This season, the Trager Delaney girl is born into a close and loving German family from the Black Forest but is tragically orphaned at a young age. She finds herself in a Catholic orphanage for six years, where she ponders the world beyond her, refusing to believe that God is the beginning or the end. She looks to new religions, new beliefs and finds Scientology.
In 1979 at 18 years of age, she moves to LA, brimming with curiosity and distain for the life she has been handed; while she enjoys exploring her new found religion.
With no money in her pocket she is quickly swallowed into the underworld of seedy movies and 'artistic nudity'. Young and beautiful she soon finds herself deep in LA's nightlife. She consciously focuses on LA's art scene and stands out with her nonchalant indifference to everyone's insecurities and pretensions.
Sitting down for dinner one night, she meets Aristotle Onassis who wants her because everyone else does, he wants her to be his. He flies her from party to party. She is flung from Cannes to Gstaad to Los Angeles and then ultimately to the Spanish countryside on the island of Mallorca. Lust soon subsides and she finds herself a new life there with the locals, the bull fights. She adores animals and she loves riding. She dreams of the man she should have married. He is genuine and rough, sticky from sweat and handles a gun. Her best friend lives near the harbour, they spend nights smoking cigarettes drinking Campari and skinny dipping. She never refills the ice tray.
She has cats, a four-poster bed and a boat and a beach. He dies and she wonders what will happen to him.
She herself on a family holiday to Aspen, she is too old for such a thing, but it is free and she suspects some form of fun could be had with the locals. She used to fight against mother and grandmother and every cocktail they make her go to, in clothes they pick for her. She has given up. Her father spends an inordinate amount of time in outdoor swimming pool with a girl that everyone pretends not to see, while the mother has one too many lessons with the young and handsome snowboarding teacher. She is left to spend long days with her grandmother, whom's taste is unparalleled. One evening while her grandmother falls asleep, she heads out to Aspen town and finds a group of the locals. She identifies with their rebellion of luxury and all the money that surrounds them. Christopher Wallace, Bill Cosby and a young Neil Young all represent the rebellion that she dreams of holding. She falls hard in love for their weed dealer and they leave that night in his beige Volvo sliding on the icy roads and smoking one cigarette after the other. They drive back to her hotel where she throws her clothes into her suitcase. Her wardrobe is then forced to transform into a new a fresh start, she worked with what she has, demure neckline and long dresses and skirts that her mother and grandmother have brought her mixed with her ski sweatshirts and trousers. New age fabric mix with classic silk crepes in red, mint and a earthy brown. She has to fit in now, to her own rebellion. She hangs her hand out the window in defiance of the icy air.
Kim Trager was born in the countryside of southern Denmark after finishing school he spent a year in the Royal Danish Hussars and then moved to London, where he now lives to pursue a career in fashion. Kim continued on to graduate from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, while working respectively for Haider Ackermann, Josephus Thimister, Michco Koshino and Henrik Vibskov.

Rotted column replacement
I need to replace a rotted 4 x 4 wood column supporting a pergola. I am planning on using temporary supports to hold the Pergola up. I am then going to cut off the rotted post above the damaged part. I will make a lapp joint to attach a new 4 x 4 piece. How long should the lap piece be, and would screws be appropriate to secure or should I use bolts? The Pergola has three 4 x 4 posts on the outside and the inside is attached to the house with a ledger board.
Sent from my iPad using DIY Forum
#1 Replace the whole thing not just the bottom.
#2 I'd bet the reason it rotted was one of two things. Direct contact with the deck or patio, or it was set in concrete.
It needs to be sitting on a Simpson Strong Tie post base.
OK, I will replace all of it. It will require more disassembly but it can be done. I will get a post base. The cause is worse than you guessed. Someone thought it would be nice to place a built in planter around the bottom of the post, so it has been sitting in 18 inches of soil ever since it was constructed. Thanks for your reply.
