On What Philadelphia 5th graders should know how to do
I intend no sarcasm. These guidelines seem to assume that knowledge and skills are demonstrated in an external and straightforward manner (much like compliance to ritual is) - rather than the reality that you need to actually trip kids up by changing how questions/problems are worded so they can't rely on rote responses, and have to think to answer.
Then you need to understand their mistakes and where they come from to further refine their understanding.
Also, regarding "5 senses" - what sense do I use to determine voltage across a circuit? We don't have one, so we build sensors - and anyway, shouldn't they also learn how senses lie, and their brain is trying to fool them all the time with cognitive biases?
"•divide a decimal number by a whole number, without and with a calculator
explore the concept of division of decimals with concrete materials, money and measurement
extend the algorithm in conjunction with place value 75.6 divided by 4."
"•estimate and measure the area of regular and irregular 2-D shapes
measure a wide variety of regular and irregular shapes using square units of onesquare centimetre and one square metre"
An example from science is:
"•identify and explore how objects and materials may be moved
by pushing and pulling
by machines using rollers, wheels, axles, gear wheels, chains and belts
by pouring and pumping
using trapped air pressure (pneumatics)
using trapped liquid under pressure (hydraulics)
using wind energy
harnessing energy of moving water
design and make a lifting device that uses levers and gears
design and make a windmill, water wheel or wind turbine to spin a coloured disk or turn a flywheel"

Tami Oldham and her fiancee, Richard Sharp, set sail for Tahiti under brilliant blue skies, and their future together was just as bright. Young and in love, they were both expert sailors who had already seen much of the world and planned to see more.
Twenty days into their journey, Tami and Richard sailed directly into a monumental hurricane. With every ounce of their strength, they battled the elements. Richard tethered himself to the boat and sent Tami below. Seconds after leaving the deck, she heard Richard's terrified scream over the roar of the wind. And then all went black. Red Sky in Mourning is the story of tami Oldham Ashcraft's 41-day journey to safety, which she survived through fortitude and sheer stregth of character.
The description of her awaking to the boat's capsize - realizing that Richard had been blown overboard, her motor was shot, and her masts were gone - is only one of many moments captured with wrenching realism in this dramatic, detailed account.
Even more remarkable, though, is how Tami overcame seemingly insurmountable tragedy, injury, and mechanical failure to navigate herself to safety. Interspersed with flashbacks to her romance with her doomed fiancé, this survival story offers an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone.
©2002 Tami Oldham Ashcraft (P)2002 Simon & Schuster
"I liked it"
I would recommend this read to a friend. I would especially recommend it to a fellow sailing friend although I feel you do not need to be a sailor to get the message of strength and feel the emotional roller-coaster that the author experienced.
"Disagreed with positive reviews."
I submitted a review of this Audible book over a week ago and have yet to see it posted. That alone is disappointing! I apparently wasted my time. Hopefully this review will appear. Anyway, while I am sorry that the author lost her fiancé to the hurricane, and I admire her tenacity and her successful survival attempt, I did not enjoy this audio book. It was not well written. There were too many distracting flashbacks to the author's relationship with her fiancé. I would have preferred it if the author had told her tale via a linear timeline, and had weeded out at least half her references to intimate moments. Yes, we get it. The author loved her fiancé. He loved her. They often engaged in sexual activity. Let's just get on with the story we bought the book to hear, the tale of how the author survived alone at sea in a broken boat.
No. Her voice was generally monotonous and occasionally whiny. A trained narrator might have made a big difference in my reaction to this book.
See the above comment.
See the first set of comments.
I'm glad that the author survived. I wish she had received adequate guidance in how to write this memoire of her tragic experience, one that would have flowed naturally to capture and sustain a reader's attention. I wish the author had utilized an experienced and gifted narrator in the Audible version. Most of all, I wish the author and her fiancé had not attempted their voyage during hurricane season. The result of that lapse in judgement was indeed tragic.

Itajai, Brazil
SOURCE: Volvo Ocean Race
Weekly Highlights N° 20
But the week was not so easy for the fleet. The deep blue provided them the best and the worst of times, 5 of the 6 teams rounded Cape Horn, however Dongfeng Race Team broke their mast and had retire from the leg.
After 12 days at sea, their race was cut short in an instant…
While Dongfengs world crashed down around them for others this was a moment of jubilation, especially aboard lead boat Team Alvimedica with her rookie crew, for many their first time around the Horn.
Meanwhile, Dongfeng Race Team limped into Usuhaia, Argentina to evaluate the damage. Finally they decided to retire from leg 5 and to deliver the boat to Itajai by engine to be ready to start leg 6.
Two days later Team SCA rounded Cape Horn. For the female team, this was an extra special moment as they remembered their coach Magnus Olsson, who passed away in 2013.
The fleet endured the worst of the South Atlantic Ocean, tough weather
40 knots of wind, almost survival conditions just a few days before they arrive to Itajai (Brazil).
The last miles were tied, anything could happen and anyone could win or lose in the last tacks heading to Itajai. The first four boats were sailing together with no more than 10 miles between them, so the final approach was crucial to success.
Finally the Emirati team lead by Ian Walker made it, they crossed the finish line first taking their 2nd victory of the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2015
Second was MAPFRE with a huge welcome from thousands of spectators as local sailor Andre Fonseca was on board.
Third was the rookie American crew of Team Alvimedica who managed to arrive to Itajai after 19days 24minutes and 32 seconds of sailing.
Disappointed faces on board Team Brunel after crossing the line in fourth place. Once again, the Dutch lost out on the podium in the last miles of the leg.
Meanwhile the female squad of Team SCA were struggling to arrive in Brazil. After breaking a rudder they will be in Itajai on Tuesday afternoon.

James Anderson left steaming after onslaught by the new lord of Lord's
Some people in India thought so little of Ravindra Jadeja that they called him "Sir" out of sarcastic respect. After his swashbuckling innings changed the Lord's Test, one of them suggested that the Queen leave Buckingham Palace with her ceremonial sword to bestow the real honour upon his shoulders.
Jadeja has threatened to play like this before, but never quite delivered. Thus the smart money was on another headless repeat, which would have been even sillier given that Stuart Binny had succumbed recklessly only minutes earlier. But Jadeja's eventual blossoming served to bring to mind the old saying, that the roots of some of the most interesting flowers grow in the murkiest soil.
It was an innings best judged in hindsight. When he screwed his…

Photographer Denise Truscello was invited by Peepshow platinum princess Holly Madison to record the Holly-days celebration with her best friends forever from the Planet Hollywood spectacular and her E! Entertainment reality TV series Holly's World at Buca di Beppo.
Angel Porrino, Laura Croft, Josh Strickland and Sophia Monica joined Holly, and they feasted on calamari, caprese salads and spaghetti marinara all topped off with shots of lemoncello. Holly has been giving back to the community this holiday season, and VegasDeLuxe.com will feature some of her charitable endeavors soon.
*It was one of the most fashionable nights in Hollywood when our Palazzo transformed the Hollywood Style Awards into a luxury resort. L.V. met L.A. when Palazzo bellmen greeted guests as they entered the "relocated" Strip hotel complete with the Azure Luxury Pool lounge, where winner Cory Monteith and Emily Blunt relaxed with friends before the show. The Palazzo Future Style Icon Award was given to Katie Cassidy by presenter Lea Michele, who both said they were looking forward to visiting Las Vegas.
Also in attendance: Selena Gomez, Victoria Justice, Drake Bell, Dave Annable, Odette Yustman, Jessica Lowndes, Mena Suvari and LaLa Vasquez, who said she would ring in the New Year at the Palazzo with Chris Colfer and Jayma Mays.
*Four super-sexy, sultry and splashy suites have opened at Rumor, and the cost of each is less than $500 on weekends. "Las Vegas has always been known for its luxurious suites, but at Rumor, we are always trying to push the envelope. I believe our suites will be talked about long after the guest heads back home. They are sophisticated and sleek, but, more importantly, they are definitely sexy and eccentric," said Stephen Siegel, founder and COO of The Siegel Group.
Each of the four 1,000-square-feet suites -- The Swinger Mega Suite, the girly-girl Gossip Mega Suite, The Camouflage Mega Suite and The Diva Mega Suite -- is equipped with an "ultra-lounge/party bathroom" featuring a 10-person open shower with two rain showerheads and a U-shaped couch.
"Our bathrooms will definitely be the buzz feature," Stephen said. "We figured there was no reason for the party to end in the bedroom, so we decided to create the first bathroom party/lounge in Las Vegas. Rumor is all about partying with friends in a laid-back environment. I wanted these custom suites to provide a wild, colorful backdrop for people to hang with their friends."

Oliver Stone arrested
Page Tools
Academy Award-winning film-maker Oliver Stone was arrested on drunken driving and drug charges at a police checkpoint in Beverly Hills, California, authorities say.
Stone, who won best director Oscars for Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July, was released this morning after posting a $US15,000 ($A19,790) bond, said Sgt John Edmundson, a spokesman for the Beverly Hills police department.
Police arrested Stone, 58, last night at a checkpoint on Sunset Boulevard near the border of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, he said.
Stone, driving a Mercedes, was one of nine arrests at the checkpoint set up as part of a statewide crackdown on drunken driving during the Memorial Day weekend.
Police would not release details of an intoxication test on Stone or the type of drugs in his possession.
A local court ordered Stone into a rehabilitation program after a 1999 arrest on driving while intoxicated and drug possession charges.
Stone's other films include Wall Street, JFK, Nixon, Natural Born Killers and the 2004 release Alexander.
Stone's agent did not immediately return a telephone call.

Pajot recounts rocky story of building our iconic City Hall
If you think getting things done in city government is challenge these days, then I suggest you read Milwaukee historian Dennis Pajot's most recent book.
His engrossing "Building Milwaukee City Hall" isn't subtitled, "The Political, Legal and Construction Battles" – published in paperback by McFarland & Co. – for nothing.
Though we adore the iconic Milwaukee City Hall now as an immediate identifier of the city and as one of the most beautiful city halls in the country, there was controversy in every step of the process.
From the site, to the funding, to the architect, to the plan, to the execution of the plan – literally every step of the way – there were dramas, controversies, battles and legal wrangling.
Though Pajot's two previous books focused on the early days of Milwaukee baseball, he's not a newcomer to other aspects of Milwaukee history. We caught up with him to ask him about what led him to trace the story of how architect Henry Koch's design for City Hall ended up getting built, what he learned in writing the book and what's next on his plate.
OnMilwaukee.com: How did you end up digging up the story of City Hall?
DP: I have long been interested in old Milwaukee buildings. A number of years ago I wrote a history of First Methodist Church in Milwaukee, which was published in "Flashbacks," the official newsletter of the United Methodist Historical Society of Wisconsin. At about that same time I put together a presentation and short history of the churches on the near South Side of Milwaukee.
During this research I frequently ran across newspaper articles relating to the City Hall controversy, which I found interesting. Obviously, while doing research on 19th century baseball I also ran across articles on the City Hall matters. Looking through libraries and other sources, it appeared the early story of City Hall had never been told in detail, so I decided to take it up.
OMC: I was intrigued by the siting discussions, to think how the city would have looked today if City Hall had been built on one of the alternative sites discussed.
DP: I think it obvious Milwaukee would have evolved much different, especially if the area on the South Side had been selected as the site. With the hub of city government at 1st and Florida, that area would have certainly developed much differently than it did.
One question which can never be answered, is if the City Hall would have been built on the South Side, how long would it have lasted there? My guess is eventually it would have been necessary to move the city government back into the Downtown area, and a new City Hall would have been built.
OMC: The building now is such an iconic Milwaukee image, yet it almost never happened, right? Can you talk a bit about the design that almost won and why Koch's ended up getting built?
DP: I think it was all politics. By most accounts Henry Ives Cobb's was the best design. But being from Chicago, he was not favored here. It must be remembered that Chicago had recently been given the National Democratic Convention and most in Milwaukee thought Chicago had "stolen" it from Milwaukee. While researching the story, I got the feeling that Cobb never really had a chance to win the competition.
Henry Koch was a favorite in Milwaukee, his schools and public buildings were scattered around town for all to see. By the way, Koch's design is my favorite, but that could be because I can't imagine any other building there.
OMC: A lot of folks were skeptical of the building's design, it seems, saying it would never become iconic, but it did. Why do you think that is?
DP: I think Koch's design was perfect for the view from East Wisconsin Avenue. Even today, as you walk north on North Water Street from Michigan or Wisconsin Avenue, City Hall's tower stands out, even though partially obstructed at spots.
That the land the City Hall stands on was odd shaped certainly was important to this design. If the lot had been rectangle and larger, the designs perhaps would looked less "iconic" to later eyes.
OMC: There was a lot of politics that went into the discussion of whether to build, where to build, how much to spend, and on and on. Are there lessons for us now in all this back and forth?
DP: The most important lesson is getting it right. Despite themselves, the City of Milwaukee politicians got it right. Not doing things on the cheap no doubt saved a lot of expenses over the years. If the building had been built with cheaper material and extreme cost cutting methods, I do not see how it could have lasted as long as it has.
OMC: I noticed you stopped just before all the issues of the most recent renovation. Why did you decide not to bring the story right up to today?
DP: The book was being written while many of these issues were still unresolved. I am sure some still have to be resolved. The book's focus was on its early history, and I wanted it to stay clear of its most recent – and I certainly hope, not its last – controversial chapter.
OMC: Are you working on any other Milwaukee-related book projects these days?
DP: I am actually back on baseball. My master plan is to write the detailed history of the Milwaukee Brewers from 1902 until 1919, the time known as the deadball era in baseball. I have currently finished work on a number of these manuscripts. Those of 1904 through 1908, and 1911 through 1916 are finished and have been donated to the Milwaukee Public Library. These are – or soon will be – available to read in the local history department.
Non-baseball wise, I have a number of pages of notes related to the controversy over the building of the Milwaukee Public Library and Museum in the 1890s. If I continue further with these notes depends on a number of things – time being one I am always fighting against.

The chaos theory in action

The chaos theory in action
By Mark LeVine
Speaking Freely is an Asia Times Online feature that allows guest writers to have their say. Please click here if you are interested in contributing.
It is perhaps hard for Americans to understand their occupation of Iraq in the context of globalization. But Iraq today is clearly the epicenter of that trend, and in this context chaos is king. Here, military force was used to seize control of the world's most important commodity, oil. While corporate prospectors allied with the US search the country like safari hunters on elephants for any opportunity to profit from Iraq's misery - that's how conspicuous they are - inside the Green Zone their innocuous-looking counterparts draft regulations for privatizing everything from health care to prisons.
It is chaos that makes this whole system possible. Without the chaos, Iraqis would not allow the country to be sold off wholesale, or allow the US troops to remain after the June 30 "transfer" of sovereignty. Without chaos, there is little reason to assume that the imposition of neo-liberal globalization, which has wreaked such havoc in so many other countries of the developing world, would be in the process of entrenchment in Iraq. Without the chaos, there would be more reporting on the appalling conditions in the hospitals and schools, which are violations of the US obligations as occupying power under the Geneva and Hague Conventions.
Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) contractors would have to budget more than US$10,000 to "rehabilitate" each school, and certainly couldn't get a way with a $1,000 paint job, pocketing the rest. Anesthesiologists wouldn't be stuck with surplus needles that are so long they can't be used on children and shorter people, who have to get the more dangerous c-line procedure for lack of the correct $1 instrument.
It is also chaos that allows the mainstream press to focus on the overt violence without addressing what an unmitigated disaster the occupation is viewed holistically. As I was writing this article, I received a call from a major TV news program to join a panel on Falluja. After a 40 minute pre-interview, the producer decided that I "didn't fit into the mix" of the guests he was putting together, which wound up being three middle-aged men: a retired general, colonel and a professor, none of whom had driven on the road to Falluja, and none of whom dared discuss the roots of the deepening quagmire in Iraq.
If Iraq is sliding toward chaos, this is exactly where most Iraqis believe the US wants them to be. A prominent Iraqi psychiatrist who has worked with the CPA and US military explained to me that "there is no way the United States can be this incompetent. The chaos here has to be at least partly deliberate." The main question on most people's minds is not if his assertion is true, but why. In this context, the sending of foreign contractors into Falluja in late-model SUVs with armed escorts - down a street clogged with traffic where they would literally be sitting ducks - only feeds suspicion that the US is deliberately instigating more violence as a pretext for "punishment" and further chaos courtesy of the US military.
Not surprisingly, the angry mob dragging the mutilated American corpses down those streets carried posters of Sheikh Yassin, the slain Hamas leader. In the minds of most Iraqis, America greenlighted his assassination by the Israelis.
If we realize that companies like Blackwater Security services (whose personnel were killed in Falluja) constitute a $100 billion a year business, it's hard to imagine how the people in charge - all well-trained military personnel with lots of combat experience - couldn't foresee they were sending their people into a death trap. Or is it possible that they are that arrogant and that ignorant? I'm not sure which is worse.
Colgate University professor Nancy Ries describes the chaos in Iraq as "sponsored chaos", which fits into the broad definition of chaos theory as an ordered system or purpose underlying seemingly random events. That is, war and occupation are wonderful opportunities for corporations to make billions of dollars in profits, unchecked by the laws and regulations that hamper their profitability in peace time.
Because of this, in the postmodern global era, global corporations and the government elites with whom they work have great incentive to sponsor global chaos and the violence it generates. Several recent books, such as Joma Nazpary's Post-Soviet Chaos or Vadim Volkov's Violent Entrepreneurs, explore how the chaos of the post-Soviet era enabled a "counter-revolution" in Russia and countries like Kazakhstan, where competing networks of groups, from criminal gangs and political parties to families and friends, all compete for resources in the decidedly one-sided contest for power and wealth that is the globalized market economy. Iraq is sadly following this trend.
Yet if Jonathan Steele argued in the Guardian that the US is "creating its own Gaza" through the chaos in Iraq, for me the application of the chaos theory there has created a strange mix of Gaza and Tel Aviv: on the one hand there's the violence of the resistance against the occupation, which feels like Gaza or Nablus - at least you know who your enemy is and who's shooting at whom. But on top of it is the violence of Iraqis against Iraqis - the suicide bombings and assassinations whose randomness gives one the feeling of living in Tel Aviv. Put the two together and the tenseness and violence of daily life in the main cities of Iraq is hard to bear, and it's only going to get worse. Worst of all, the chaos and insecurity make it impossible for civil society to produce an alternative political discourse either for collaboration with or violent religious opposition to the occupation.
The day I returned home I spoke to a leading scholar of Iraqi Shi'ism, who firmly argued against the notion that the US was deliberately stoking the flames of chaos: "Believe me," he said, "they are that incompetent." And perhaps he's right - at least from 10,000 miles away a lot of the mess that is Iraq can be explained by the combination of arrogance, ignorance and ideological bolshevism of the political and military leadership in the Bush administration, coupled with the greed of their corporate sponsors.
But when you're on the ground and you experience the daily impact and scale of the chaos, it's much harder not to understand the situation at least as a combination of what one activist described as "the chaos that is the occupation, plus the chaos the US is specifically creating to further the occupation". Whatever the cause, a lot of Iraqis and Americans are dying needlessly - unless you consider that the billions being made off the occupation, and the larger war on terror, is worth the price in blood and hatred.

Paris Hilton Humps A Beer Can, Brazil's Government Gets Upset
US Weekly reports that Brazil's Secretariat for Women's Affairs is calling for a sexy beer commercial starring Paris Hilton to be pulled. The commercial advertising Devassa beer — which means "debauched" or "lewd" in Portuguese — features the skimpily-clad Hilton rubbing a can of beer sensually over her body while standing before a window of tongue-wagging onlookers. (Perhaps too much Devassa would explain what the hell Paris was doing when she was photographed on all fours recently?) "It's an ad that devalues women — in particular, blond women," the spokeswoman for the Secretariat claimed.
But what Brazil clearly does not understand is that here in America we have a rich cultural history of using women's bodies and the promise of sex to advertise alcoholic beverages. Ugh. Get some frickin' cultural sensitivity, Brazil. [US Weekly]

Uncovering the alias
If you've ever wished you could be in many places at the same time, then you'll appreciate OS X's useful aliases. An alias is basically a small file that points to something else—an application, a folder, or a file. (It's similar, but not identical, to a Windows shortcut. ) Double-clicking on an alias does the same thing as double-clicking on the original item—folders and documents open, and applications launch. Use aliases to get easy access to files and applications while keeping the originals in one place.
To create an alias, simply select the file you'd like it to point to (the source file), and select File: Make Alias (Command-L). You can also create an alias by holding the Command and option keys while dragging a file to a new location—you'll see a small arrow in the corner of the icon while you're dragging it, which indicates that you'll create a new alias when you release the mouse.
You know something is an alias when you see a small arrow at the bottom left of the file's icon. If you no longer need the alias, delete it. The original file or folder won't be harmed, because the alias is just a pointer to the original. Here are a few interesting ways to use aliases:
Work the Dock Put a folder of aliases to often-used applications or documents in your Dock. Control-click on that folder, and you'll have a pop-up menu of fast-access items. You can even put aliases to other folders in there, and navigate into those folders, all via the pop-up menu.
Keep Track of Current Projects Do you save current projects on the desktop and then file them away inside your Documents folder when you're done? Instead, keep everything in your Documents folder and put aliases to current projects on your desktop. This is a particularly good idea if your backup strategy involves backing up your Documents folder and not your whole computer.
Collect Launch-Together Applications Say you typically work with certain applications at the same time—for instance, the Camino Web Project's free browser, Camino; Panic's $30 FTP application, Transmit; and Bare Bones Software's $200 HTML editor, BBEdit. Make a new folder containing aliases to these three applications. Now you can open the folder, select all the aliases, and then press Command-O to launch all three programs at once.
Gather Files in One Location Say you've been creating artwork for multiple clients and multiple projects, and storing each file in its own project-related folder. Now you'd like to be able to open any of these items quickly, without having to navigate to each project-related folder.
Create a new folder, name it, hold down the Command and option keys, and then drag each file you'd like access to into this folder. From now on, you can just open this folder and have quick access to any artwork by double-clicking on one of the aliases.
Access Files on Remote Servers If you often access files stored on servers, try this trick. The next time you connect, create a folder of aliases to the files or folders you access on that server. Disconnect from the server. Now when you need to access the server, just double-click on one of the aliases. If you've stored connection information in your Keychain, the server should automatically mount. (This may not work with all servers, but it definitely works with Personal File Sharing.)
Open Screenshots Immediately
Screenshots often come in handy—for instance, when you need a quick snapshot of something you're working on or when you want to send a picture of an error message to the IT department. OS X includes some good built-in tools for taking screenshots—Command-shift-3 will take a picture of the whole screen, and Command-shift-4 will let you select a region to capture (or then press the spacebar to take a picture of a window).
But by using these tools, you often do the screenshot two-step. First you take the picture. Then you switch to the Finder, hunt for the saved file on your desktop, and open it to make sure you captured what you intended. With a little help from Unix and AppleScript, you can automate this process (as long as you're running OS X 10.3 or 10.4). An AppleScript will activate a Unix script that captures the screenshot, gives it a unique name, and then opens it in Preview.
Open Script Editor (/Applications/AppleScript), and enter the following code, also found here:
do shell script "DATE=`date '+%Y%d%m-%H%M%S'`; FILE=~/Pictures/screenshot-${DATE}.png; screencapture -i -W -x $FILE; if [ -e $FILE ]; then open /Applications/Preview.app $FILE; fi"
When you've entered the script, select File: Save As, give the script a name, set the File Format pop-up menu to Application, and save the script to a convenient location. One good spot is the your user folder /Library/Scripts folder—from here it will be easily accessible in the Script menu. (Create this folder if you don't have it already.) If you haven't turned on the Script menu, go to the /Applications/AppleScript folder. If you're running OS X 10.3, double-click on the Install Script Menu program, and you're done. If you're using OS X 10.4, launch AppleScript Utility. Choose the Show Script Menu In The Menu Bar option and (if you want to have access to some useful scripts) the Show Library Scripts option. Quit the program. The Script icon will appear in the menu bar.
Once you've saved your screenshot script, using it is simply a matter of activating it. If you saved it to the your user folder /Library/Scripts folder, choose it from the Script menu. You'll see the camera icon on screen; press the spacebar when the icon is over the window you'd like to capture. After a brief delay, the image you captured will open in Preview.

Legislature Fumbles Highway Bill
The Texas House Monday night rejected that compromise proposal designed to add nearly $1 billion a year to the state's road building fund, as Governor Rick Perry openly clashed with House Republicans over spending priorities, 1200 WOAI news reports.
84 House Republicans voted in favor of the compromise proposal to transfer nearly $1 billion per year from the state's oil and gas royalties to the Texas Department of Transportation to use to build and maintain roads, but, as expected, Tea Party Republicans rejected the idea of diverting funds from the state's Rainy Day Fund.
Since the proposal is a Constitutional Amendment, a two thirds majority, or 100 votes, was needed to approve the bill.
"Members have become increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of diverting and indefinitely dedicating funds away from the Rainy Day fund to roads," House Speaker Joe Straus said. "These funds were never intended to be a stable, long term way to address our transportation needs. Diverting a capped amount of money from the Rainy Day fund to repair roads is much like using a Band-Aid to cover a pothole…in the end, you still have a pothole, and you have spent a lot of money without solving the fundamental problem.
Perry stopped short of calling for a third special session when the current session ends on Tuesday, but he accused House Republicans of 'abdicating their basic responsibilities.'
"This was an opportunity to utilize hundreds of millions of dollars in existing revenue to move forward on numerous projects across our state and begin dealing with the effects of our economic growth," Perry said. "Just as importantly, provide much needed relief to working Texans everywhere who spend hours in traffic every day."
The Legislature will try again on Tuesday to approve the compromise, but that now appears unlikely.
Perry has set transportation funding as a priority.
"Legislators have been in Austin for nearly seven months now, and to go home without dealing with one of the most pressing issues facing all Texans is simply unacceptable," Perry said.

I don't love summer. Although, in it's defense, I might love summer if I didn't live where the daily weather forecaster describes the day as "oppressive". But the one thing that saves summer for me is the produce you can buy (okay, two things...add snowcones to that list). Berries are some of my favorite things to buy, and blackberries are one of my favorite foods in existence, so I was super excited to find these adorable berry baskets.
I've been wanting some from Anthropologie for a long time, but at $20 for the larger size and $14 for the smaller size, I just never could justify the purchase. Then I got the Sur la Table catalog and saw that they had these cute baskets on sale, I was sold.
I got the smaller yellow baskets for $3.99 and the larger basket (which they called a peach basket) for $9.06. I couldn't pass it up. They only came in yellow, white, and red, (so not all the cute anthropologie color options), but I was happy with the price.
Since I bought these, I also found some cheaper melamine options at World Market. They come in yellow, hot pink, and lime green.
I just think my berries are so much more tasty since they are stored in the adorable baskets!

Updated 12:21 p.m. ET
Newt Gingrich today played down Mitt Romney's decisive win in the Nevada caucuses, stressing that the Super Tuesday contests next month will be "favorable territory" for his own campaign.
The former House speaker said on NBC's Meet the Press that he expects to do well in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee -- three of the 10 states that will hold primaries and caucuses on March 6.
STORY: Romney wins Nevada
"Our goal is to get to Super Tuesday, where we're in much more favorable territory," Gingrich said today. "By the time Texas is over, we'll be very, very competitive in delegate count."
There are 437 delegates at stake in the 10 states that vote on Super Tuesday -- the largest bloc yet in the GOP presidential race. Nevada, by comparison, awarded 28 convention delegates by proportion of the vote and Romney will claim nearly half of them.
Still, a sweep in the Super Tuesday states doesn't guarantee the winner the GOP nomination. It takes 1,144 delegates to clinch the party's nomination.
Texas is scheduled to hold its GOP primary on April 3, but that date could slip depending on the outcome of a legal challenge to the state's redistricting map.
Gingrich, who has taken issue with being outspent by Romney and his allies in this campaign, told NBC that he will continue to portray the GOP nomination fight as a "big choice campaign."
"I don't think a timid approach will beat Obama in the fall," he said, before accusing Romney of trying to "carpet-bomb" his rivals out of the race. "I'm going to run a campaign of big ideas, big solutions."

About Me
My goal is to take interesting and challenging pictures and help photographers bring their artistic visions to life.
I am extremely tiny, and can pull off looking like a kid or an adult (depending on whether it's a face or body shot and my makeup). Basically, if you are doing a shoot that requires body paint or something like that, I would be perfect for you, because I don't have much surface area
I am super enthusiastic and outgoing and have no problem doing silly/dramatic poses or scenes. I have some improv and theater background that I try to utilize in my work.
When it comes to nudes, unless there's fully concealing body paint involved, I would not want to show nipples/pubic region. Transparent clothes included! Implied/concealed is negotiable, depending on the situation (not pornographic pay-site content). Just please don't expect anything I didn't clearly discuss and agree to beforehand.

What is trunking? If you are a dog lover, please read ...
Trunking defined as letting dogs fight to death in trunk of car while owner drives. I AM NOT even going to ellaborate on what has been done. This is my reminder and plea to ALWAYS REPORT ANY ANIMAL ABUSE YOUR SEE or FEEL IS GOING ON!
These poor animals have no choice, but we can do anything and everything to be their hero!!!
"A Good Samaritan called animal services Wednesday, saying a pet owner in the Goulds repetitively threw dogs in a trunk and let them fight to the death." - via media outlet
"[They] put the dogs in the trunk, lock it up, and they run around, put the music on very, very loud so no one can hear it," said Dahlia Canes with Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation. "After 10 or 15 minutes, they stop. The dead dog they throw out and the winner keeps going with it."

An ad from the Obama campaign exaggerates the truth about fees and tax hikes imposed by Mitt Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts.
It lists numerous fees hiked by Romney, but we found that a number of them are misleading — seeming to be more far-reaching and broad than they really are.
The ad also repeats a misleading claim about Romney cutting taxes "on millionaires like himself," and botches the figure for the revenue gained by Romney imposing higher fees and closing corporate tax loopholes.

There is about the weight loss product picture a brand new celebrity Forskolin. This plant has been for centuries around use. Coleus Forskolin, or Forskolin, can also be referred to as Plectra thus barbatus and certainly will be situated in India, particularly in exotic environments. This plants that's utilized in ayurveda medication methods to get a number of problems, but has been proven to become a fruitful help to weight reduction.
So How Exactly Does It Function?
Via a stream of occasions that are natural, Forskolin encourages the fat loss molecule named Lipase's launch. Exactly what the study exhibits is the fact that weight reduction induces, which the fat loss is commonly everlasting. This really is a plant that breaks up stored fat, and will increase your metabolism. It will help whilst not decreasing muscle tissue reduce greasy mass. Insulin amounts which help with the usage of vitamins will be also increased by forskolin.
Coleus Forskolin has-been analyzed on function because of its results. Based on scientists, adenylate cyclase in walls stimulates. Adenylate cyclase is definitely a molecule with regulatory functions in most tissues, including ATP (for power) manufacturing and camping (which signs adrenaline). Therefore, scientists determined Forskolin might be a helpful device for increasing metabolism of the thyroid.
Current medical reports, including a double-blind placebo-managed study confirmed that somewhat reduced mass and excess fat proportion in addition to substantial boost for mass that was slim. While creating lean body mass to get a toned slim search individuals dropped on average five lbs of real excess fat. Based on research printed in Obesity Study in 2005 males were designated to get perhaps a placebo or either Forskolin everyday for 12 months. At the conclusion of the research, people of the Forskolin group confirmed a larger reduction in excess fat along with a higher escalation in slim body-mass (when compared with people of the placebo group). A substantial escalation was experienced by research participants in bone size. For more details verifiedforskolin.com.
Workout and a healthier diet must certainly be section of any weight reduction work, you can't depend products on alone to change the body. The very best answers are usually attained by individuals who view the things they take part in some type of workout many times per week, and consume. A.

Venture capitalist's plan for 6 Californias clears crucial test
LOS ANGELES — California has reached the breaking point, says Tim Draper. The Silicon Valley venture capitalist is pushing a proposal to crack the nation's most populous state into smaller pieces — six of them.
California has grown so big and so inefficient, it's ungovernable, according to a ballot initiative that could reach voters as early as November.
It has to go, he says.
"Vast parts of our state are poorly served by a representative government," according to Draper's plan, which cleared a key government hurdle this week, part of the process to qualify for the ballot.

It's tough to even type but there is no way around it, in terms of games the college football season is more than a quarter over. Over the course of four games (or two for Oregon State) the storylines for this season have drastically changed. Of the 25 teams that began the season ranked only two have lost two games, Michigan and Arkansas. Both started the season ranked in the top 10 (and both faced Alabama).
There are only two undefeated teams in the Big Ten that are bowl eligible, Northwestern and Minnesota. In the Big 12 seven of the ten teams are undefeated and two more have only lost one game (then there is Kansas).
We've talked at length about those who won't win the Heisman but take a look at our preseason watch. The top seven looked like this: 1. Barkley 2. Ball 3. Robinson 4. Jones 5. Murray 6. Manuel 7. Smith. Through the first quarter of the season, our preseason watchlisters one through four have faltered or fallen off while five, six, and seven have stepped right in. This speaks to the accuracy of the Heisman Watch.
Fortunes will change during the next three quarters of the season. We may see a couple phoenix candidates rising from the ashes of their preseason hype. We are also about to see how tough conference play really is for Heisman contenders. Geno Smith, Braxton Miller and Aaron Murray haven't had to play any ranked opponents yet so it remains to be seen who will shine and who will fade.
Quick Hits
— Oregon State is gaining a reputation for ending Heisman dreams for running backs. Stepfan Taylor, Kenjon Barner, and De'Anthony Thomas take note.
— HP preseason all-american honorable mention Cobi Hamilton caught ten passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns in a LOSS to Rutgers.
— Notre Dame has its eyes set on a BCS game now that it has taken care of its tough early schedule. A win against USC, Stanford, or Oklahoma and the Irish will likely finish 10-2.
— This
— The finalists have been announced for the 2015 National Championship Game, the four BCS Bowls, as well as the Cotton Bowl and Chik-Fil-A Bowl.
—LeVeon Bell quietly had over 250 rushing yards on Saturday. Unfortunately it was against Eastern Michigan in a game the Spartans looked unimpressive winning 23-7.

The transverse aether drag experiment of Jones (1972, 1975) is explained by calculating the effect of the moving glass disk on the lateral diffraction spectra of the index gratings used to detect the lateral displacements. Although the undiffracted light is moving perpendicularly to the transverse motion of the disk, the lateral spectra are not, and are therefore subject to longitudinal effects due to a small component of the disk motion. The result of Landsberg (1961) can therefore be applied, giving a dispersion term in the formula for lateral shift.

Peplum Top Anthropologie, Skirt Zara, Tights Target, Jacket H&M, Heels Banana Republic, Necklace gift from sister
I decided to hop on the peplum trend once I spotted this top from Anthropologie. I'm now looking for a white skirt to pair it with- I think an all white outfit is a must in the summertime. I'm really busy right now, with all of my finals, papers, essays and everything else being due. I can't believe I have about 3 weeks left of college!!! Wish me luck :)

Robert Brown
Distinguished University Professor and Institute Professor
Rockefeller Building 204
I have collaborated on industrial physics with at least a dozen high-tech companies for upwards of 30 years and worked earlier than that on astroparticle and education physics. I've played a prideful role in the emergence of five new manufacturing (!) companies, and I've mentored more than 100 postdocs, doctorates, master's students and undergraduates. My research group efforts have resulted in over 200 published papers and abstracts, my former students hold at least 150 patents (eight co-authored by me) and we have worked in radiation physics, MRI, PET, CT, electromagnetics, inverse methods, mechanical and thermal modeling, nonlinear dynamics, EEG, MEG, sensors, and physics education, as well as a professional-life-long involvement in elementary particle physics and cosmology.
Other Milestones
The truly fulfilling nature of a physics career in teaching and research certainly stems not only from its depth and variety, but also from the close collaboration of students. In my case, a beginning devotion to basic astroparticle physics extended to industrial (especially MRI) research, and an added focus on physics education research, all involved even very young students. Spin-offs from the teaching include the writing of a 944-page MRI textbook (it's been called the
big green book and
the daily companion of the MRI scientist), the creation of GRE flashcards (more than 2000 students from all over the globe have hard copies and, now, a web app http://www.phys.cwru.edu/flashcards/), and a book 'What your fifth- grader needs to know about college physics!' in preparation. In a pioneering entrepreneurial physics master's program, I have co-advised most of its 40 graduates to date.
Our principal applied areas are simulations in imaging (dominated by MRI but with increased attention paid to PET, CT, and radiotherapy) and of electrical sensors. Finite element, FDTD, and Monte Carlo codes are important computational tools, along with analytical methods such as functional analysis with constraints. We engage in mathematical modeling of instruments and other electromagnetic systems and we optimize on those models in terms of their parameters, leading to such results as a "supershielding criterion" for optimizing magnetic and electric field confinement. My present and former students and I have initiated/designed three decades of MRI complete system (main, gradient, rf) commercial magnetic coil products, working with both large OEMs and those start-ups I mentioned above. (One of those start-ups began in my computational lab, Quality Electrodynamics, which now – Spring 2015 – has more than 120 employees, at least a dozen of whom trained in our physics department. The CEO/president obtained his Ph.D. under my guidance, and thanks to his efforts, QED was ranked 11th among America's twenty best young companies by Forbes Magazine in 2009 and has won many other awards.
An early basic research activity has been theoretical calculations in support of new high-energy experiments, especially novel tests of the electroweak parameters through the production of pairs of weak bosons. (We discovered "radiation symmetry" in this way.) A series of experiments were performed in the subsequent years, and the latest round of boson-pair experiments reported in the last couple of years confirmed the original "radiation zero" and yielded refined constraints on trilinear couplings for the bosons. There is a new generation of radiation-zero experiments planned and carried out at the LHC in Switzerland. Other basic research has dwelt upon cosmology (e.g., solutions to cosmic string equations) and fluid nonlinear analysis (e.g., stability of solitary waves under large perturbations).
In the area of physics education research we have identified a "post-exam syndrome" and worked on the problem of a "teflon education." In the first, we consider the dilemma of students with unresolved difficulties associated with their exam performance and, in the second, we address ways to improve learning retention by novel repetition methods ("cycling"). At the present time, we have had at least twelve different lecturers employ cycling for more than two-dozen introductory classes.
In summary, I point to the many marvelous undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate collaborators who have led much of the above efforts. At this time, our industrial design work and its 30-year history have led to the official designation of our research group as OPTIMISE (Ohio Platform for Tomorrow's Industrial Medical Imaging Systems and Equipment – http://optimise.case.edu/) serving an increasing number of companies in the commercialization of their products. Our teaching design work is now moving to create hybrid online teaching modules in collaboration with neighboring Ohio universities. Stay tuned!

Went to halloween costume parties, and left a trail of feathers every where. Got a small/medium because it was said to run small, but it wasn't really fitting around my waiste. I'm a size 2/3 and should have gone with an XS.

Comments about Spirit Halloween Adult Tribal Native American Costume:
It is a very sexy, attractive costume. It runs very small. I am a textbook Small, or Sm/Med in this case, but it sold out when I ordered so I got the Med/Large, which the measurements for were much too big, but I figured a waist belt or something could fix that. The arm hole was so tiny, and it was just comically small. So I exchanged for the XL, which I have never even had a large costume in my life so that had me measuring myself all over again. (Yes, I double checked my measurements and I am a perfect small.) The XL fits ok I guess. It's a little too big, so it's just confusing overall.
The feathers fall out everywhere, I left a little trail, but anyone whose ever had a costume with feathers knows this already. My biggest issue is that the feathers kept flipping up! I had no idea how to fix this so I just kept pushing them down at my party. It is very short, even being too big in the XL, so I wouldn't recommend it around kids or a family fun type party. It is very cute and came with a ton of accessories! I got a lot of compliments.
All around, I am unsure of how to feel. It is very cute, but maybe try on in store if you can. AT LEAST order very very early so you have time to exchange if your heart is set on it. I liked the look and was able to get a few good pictures.
Basically, runs small, give yourself time if ordering online otherwise try on in store. Comes with a ton of accessories and looks good overall. Oh and the armband is very small that doesnt change with the costume size. Happy Halloween!!
