Subject: Use of manipulatives
How much freedom should a teacher allow when using manipulatives? I find that my students use the pattern blocks, unifix cubes and counters more for dramatic play, mixing up pieces moreso than the intended use of counting, sorting or connecting to them. They are using great imagination and language, but where do you draw the line? Play becomes very messy and overwhelming many times, and clean up is more difficult. These are pre-k students, so we're talking in simple terms and I'm just hoping to help them focus effectively without imposing on personal freedom.

Pottery is one of the most important classes of artifacts available to archaeologists and anthropologists. Every year, volumes of data are generated detailing ceramic production, distribution, and
This compelling volume succeeds in its goal of describing how ceramic production and distribution interact, and it documents how archaeological data, ceramic ethnoarchaeological studies, and archaeometry have taken scholars away from the traditional typological approaches to ceramics.

consumption. How these data can be interpreted in relation to the social and cultural framework of prehistoric societies in Mesoamerica is the subject of this book.
Nine chapters written by some of the most well known and respected scholars in the field offer readers an in-depth look at key advances from the past fifteen years. These scholars examine ethnoarchaeological studies and the Preclassic/Formative, Classic, and Postclassic periods and cover geographic areas from eastern to central Mesoamerica. In a series of case studies, contributors address a range of new and developing theories and methods for inferring the technological, organizational, and social dimensions of pottery economics, and draw on a range of sociopolitical examples. Specific topics include the impacts and costs of innovations, the role of the producer in technological choices, the outcomes when errors in vessel formation are tolerated or rectified, the often undocumented multiple lives and uses of ceramic pieces, and the difficulties associated with locating and documenting ceramic production areas in tropical lowlands.
A compelling collection that clearly integrates and synthesizes a wide array of data, this book is the definitive text on pottery economics in Mesoamerica and an important contribution to the fields of anthropology, archaeology, ancient history, and the economics of pre-industrial societies.

NEW YORK (Jun. 23)
Three-quarters of Israel's retired generals believe at least part of the West Bank could safely be given over to the Palestinians, if certain security arrangements were made.
That was one of the findings of a poll commissioned by the Council for Peace and Security, a group of dovish former military officers. The poll, released Sunday in Israel, made front page news there just two days before the national elections.
While there was no way to measure its electoral impact, the finding echoed the central message of the Labor Party campaign. Under the leadership of retired Gen. Yitzhak Rabin, Labor has argued that Israel could negotiate peace without jeopardizing its security position.
Those polled were slightly more pessimistic of reaching an accord with Syria than with the Palestinians, though 71 percent felt that arrangements could be made to guarantee Israel's security if a significant portion of the Golan Heights were returned to Syria.
The 20-question survey was conducted by an independent polling agency, according to the council. The sponsor was not made known to the respondents.
Questionnaires were sent to all of Israel's roughly 450 retired IDF generals, as well as officers of equivalent rank from the Mossad and from the General Security Services, popularly known as the Shin Bet.
Sixty percent of the officers responded, 12 percent refused reply, and the remainder were either out of the country, barred from commenting because they hold public office or could not be located.
Asked which they consider more hazardous to Israel's security, returning the territories to the Palestinians with peace, or keeping the territories without peace, the retired military officers said territorial compromise is safer by a margin of 68 to 32 percent.
Similarly, 69.5 percent were willing to return at least some of the territories. Only 3 percent favored annexing the territories, and 2 percent favored continuing the status quo.
Twenty-one percent felt granting the Palestinians autonomy is the best solution given security restraints. Sixteen percent recommended returning most of the territories, for a treaty with security arrangements.
But the most popular choice was a return of the territories following an autonomy phase, which was chosen by 58 percent.
As described in the question, the 10-year autonomy period would test Palestinian willingness to adhere to security arrangements. It also would allow Western aid to help establish an economic infrastructure for a Palestinian state.
While the 10-year timetable goes beyond that discussed in the Camp David accords or formally in the current set of peace talks, the extended transition represents previous proposals that have come from the military and intelligence communities, according to Tom Smerling, executive director of Project Nishma.
Project Nishma serves as the American branch of the Council for Peace and Security, and tries to promote acceptance of the idea of territorial compromise in the American Jewish community.
Herb Zweibon, chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel, which advocates Israeli annexation of the territories, rejected the survey.
"It would be interesting to see how many of these retired generals became generals under the Labor government and were, in fact, Labor supporters," he said.
Zweibon derided the security arrangements insisted on by the respondents as "pie in the sky. It is totally unrealistic to think the Arabs, either those living in Hebron or the surrounding states, would accept such a solution" involving significant security concessions to Israel.
Smerling of Project Nishma responded that "Israeli peace proposals should be based on what's best for Israel, not what's acceptable to the Arabs.
"Furthermore," he said, "there's only one way to find out what's acceptable to the other side: Put forth a proposal.
"Finally, Faisal Husseini and other Palestinians have accepted the idea of transition periods, demilitarization and extensive Israeli security arrangements as a basis for negotiations. Why not put them to the test?"
When the ex-officers were asked to rate the prospects of war under different circumstances, 83 percent said war is very likely or almost inevitable if the status quo is maintained. About the same number saw as much danger if the territories were annexed, as advocated by the parties to the right of Likud.
By contrast, only 35 percent saw war as likely to result from either an autonomy arrangement or a Palestinian state with appropriate security precautions.
The solution seen as least likely to cause a war was the return of Judea and Samaria to Jordan as part of a peace agreement. While only 10 percent feared war would result, that option is officially rejected by both Jordan and the Palestinians.

It was a celebration of language and words at Calcutta Boys School (CBS) as students took part in a host of competitions from creative writing to elocution and quiz to debate.
The eighth edition of Lingua Fiesta, the inter-house language fest, also included plays this year. Languages are a blessing to us from God and through this fest we celebrate this gift. A person who masters languages is certainly a true master. Also, we have been able to pay our tribute to the bard of Bengal by singing his songs, reciting his poems and acting out his one-act plays. The students have done a great job. I always knew that there are very good singers and musicians in CBS but that we have such good actors is a wonderful surprise for me. I am also very happy to see the teachers so involved with the fest, said Raja McGee, the principal.
The topic for the English debate was One must always follow the straight and narrow path.
The best speaker of the event was Abhigyan Saha, Class XI, from Warne House. I would rather be mad than boring. I will choose the path with the blinds and not the one which shows me where I am going, he said, speaking against the motion.
The language quiz conducted by ex-student Surya Shekhar Chakraborty was also great fun.
The newest addition to the fest, the one-act play competition, saw the boys stage four plays Tota Kahini, Idurer Bhoj, Anteshti Sanbad and Chhatrer Pariksha. For Rajarshi Mukherjee, Class XI, a member of Thoburn House, who took part in Idurer Bhoj, Lingua Fiesta is fun, interactive and dynamic.
I had a great time during the fest. Im more focused on English and not so much on Hindi and Bengali but I had a great time attending all the events and cheering for my friends. The plays were introduced this time and it was a fun experience, especially during the rehearsals, said Rajarshi, who wants to learn German.
The overall winner was Henderson House while Warne came second, followed by Laidlaw and Thoburn.

The larvae of the rare goat moth feed inside tree trunks for up to five years. They create runs of fermented sap on the outside of the tree which attract a wide range of other insects.
One of the more interesting wildlife features that we've discovered on Dundreggan is the presence of 'goat moth' trees there. These are so-called because the larvae of the goat moth (Cossus cossus) burrow into the trunks of broadleaved trees (birch trees on Dundreggan), where they live for up to 5 years. They go through various instars, or stages of growth, before leaving the tree to pupate and then fly as adult moths. The species' common name comes from the goat-like smell of the larvae.
It was Jane Bowman who first discovered these trees on the estate, and she now knows of four of them, with another that is abandoned. Jane had observed the adult moths on Dundreggan before, but until this summer hadn't seen the larvae, as they can only usually be spotted when they emerge from their trees - an event that takes place perhaps on just one day in 5 years! There was considerable excitement therefore when larvae emerged from several trees on different parts of the estate within a period of a few days in August this year, including a day when the whole Trees for Life staff team was there for a site visit!
The larvae live in the trees for so long because it's a slow process to digest the tough cellulose of the tree's wood, and they reach a large size - fully grown caterpillars are up 10 cm long and a spectacular bright red colour. While they feed, they produce frass (as the excrement of caterpillars is known) and runs of fermented tree sap that drips out of their holes. This latter appears to be irresistible to a wide range of other insects, which come to feed on it. Red admiral butterflies are particularly attracted to goat moth trees, and the sap seems to make them intoxicated or 'drunk', as their behaviour is different when they are feeding, and they can be approached much closer than usual! In fact it was the presence of insects, the caterpillars' frass and the discolouration of the host tree's trunk that first tipped Jane off about the goat moth being on Dundreggan.
When they are fully grown, the larvae leave their host tree in summer and look for a place on the ground to pupate through the winter.
The adult moths emerge the following summer, and are on the wing in June and July. They are amongst the heaviest of all moths in the UK and have a wingspan of up to 9.5 cm. The adults don't feed at all, and are also notable for adopting a distinctive angled posture when they are at rest on a tree. The goat moth is listed as a priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP), so its presence on Dundreggan adds to the conservation importance of the estate.

Three consecutive road losses in Oklahoma City have caused the Albuquerque lead in the Pacific Coast League American South to dwindle to two and a half games.
But the Isotopes organization received some good news Wednesday to offset that of the "bummer" variety. John Ely, the 'Topes' ace, was named the PCL Pitcher of the Year.
The honor was decided by league managers and media.
Being a tad underrated is nothing new for the Robertson football program.
Flying under the radar altogether — with pundits salivating over defending state champ Lovington and runner-up St. Michael's, not to mention a Hope Christian team on the rise — is another matter.
But with the young group RHS is fielding after the loss of 14 seniors, that's where these Cardinals find themselves going into Friday night's opener against Portales (7 p.m. kickoff at Cardinal Stadium).
Robert Alarcon hopes to have the best of both worlds this fall as he takes the head coaching reins at West Las Vegas.
Alarcon, a veteran assistant at West who has enjoyed success as head coach at the middle school and YAFL levels, is a familar face to most of his charges. His presence brings a sense of stability and continuity to the program he inherits.
A T-shirt giveaway is being used as one incentive to draw fans to Perkins Stadium on Saturday evening for the New Mexico Highlands home football opener against Eastern New Mexico.
The first 250 fans through the gates will receive a purple NMHU athletics shirt courtesy of Community 1st Bank. The school is pushing a "Purple Out" promotion, encouraging fans to don purple and pack the stadium for the traditional intrastate rivalry game.

Losing some of the All-American firepower — namely in the form of Nicaise Kazingo — from recent years translated into a slight drop in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason coaches' poll for New Mexico Highlands University's men's cross country program.
The Cowboys were predicted to finish fifth in the 13-team men's division, according to the poll, released Thursday, Aug. 23.
That's down one spot from where the Cowboys finished the 2011 season; Metro State leapfrogged Highlands for the No. 4 spot.

El Dorado Hills Librarian Carolyn Brooks is also a history reenactor and, lately, part-time alchemist, turning straw — teens with too much after-school time on their hands —into gold — a teen council that's planning after-school service projects and activities.
At 2:20 p.m. on school days librarians hunker down for the first wave of middle schoolers. By 3 p.m. the library teems with teens, some doing homework but most just hanging out and waiting for mom. The library represents a safe place for teens to congregate, and it's an easier pickup location than the schools.
The kids spread their books on the tables or get on the computers and do what kids do. Other than a few glares from the adults and an occasional shush, the library absorbs the teens and pre-teens with few complaints.
That changed last fall when the boys bathroom was vandalized. It's now locked for an hour each afternoon.
Rather than resort to corporal punishment Brooks took a more positive approach. As the youth librarian, she wanted to put the teens at the heart of the solution. "We're trying to move away from behavior management and into more productive activities."
Brooks applied to the state librarian — did you know we had one of those? — for a "Library and Services Technology" grant, a federal program administered by the state whose goals include expanding services for learning, access to information, educational resources and partnerships to help pay for it all.
In a sometimes tense 30-minute conference call last December, a nervous Brooks, with help from El Dorado County Library Director Jeanne Amos, outlined a plan for the El Dorado Hills Teen Council to oversee a broad range of after-school activities and service projects.
"They asked us if we could do it all for only $11,000," recalled Brooks. "We assured them we could, and they basically told us to go for it."
Brooks put the word out that she was forming a teen council, and soon had a couple dozen mostly high school students interested. They held their second formation meeting last week to brainstorm what they hoped to accomplish.
"We're hoping to create interest in teens to engage their library," said Oak Ridge sophomore Corbin Gomez before the meeting. "We've got this wonderful place here. We think we can put it to better use."
Quick-witted Oak Ridge sophomore Lily Forbes, 15, put it another way, "Put your controller down and step away from the video game now."
Similar teen councils around the country typically opt to spend some of the grant money on gaming equipment. But games were barely mentioned in last week's brainstorm session, which was dominated by ideas for a drop-in homework center, teen activities and community service projects, all organized by a yet-to-be-formalized teen council and subordinate, project-based commissions.
Brooks laid out the facts of the grant and told the teens that some of the grant money would pay to keep the doors open for them, but most of it is "for you to make this world a better place."
The brainstorm yielded dozens of ideas on how to better serve both middle and high school students. The after-school homework center was deemed a priority.
Umpqua Bank has already dedicated an employee-tutor who's seeing students on Thursdays.
The community has many retired or unemployed teachers who might be recruited as volunteer tutors, said Brooks.
The library currently hosts well-attended study nights before AP exams, finals and junior projects, complete with tutors and the occasional pizza. The teens see their new homework center as an extension of those programs. Many are veterans of school-based homework programs and had plenty of ideas on how to make it work.
The brainstorm also birthed ideas for college grant and student aid workshops, entrance exam essay skills, resume help and career advice, all in conjunction with related programs at the schools.
The council plans to host library-themed public service projects, such as book purchases for underprivileged schools, reading to shut-ins and the "Dress a Girl" program recently featured in Village Life, which provides simple dresses to girls in third world countries.
The teens suggested recreation activities such as concerts, movie nights, theme parties, craft projects and even cooking classes.
Brooks concluded the brainstorming session by reminding the teens they were embarking on "a momentous thing," and she hoped they would become a model for similar councils throughout the county.
"These kids know what they want to do and with just a little help, they'll get it done," she added. "The teenagers in this community are really incredible."
Brooks met with El Dorado Hills Community Services District General Manager John Skeel on Friday to discuss collaboration between her teen council and CSD programs, especially the Teen Center.
Librarians Rae Zarghami and Therese Schmidt will serve as liaisons between library staff and the teen council.
The federal grant must be spent by the end of August. Brooks and Gomez have submitted a Vision Coalition grant request for $1,500 to fund the teen council for the balance of the year. Friends of the Library has also jumped on board, promising $2,000 for teen books.

Postcards For Harmony EyeCareSunday, June 27th, 2010
Working hard this week on a few postcards and website bits for Harmony EyeCare. The doctor requested a set of postcards to remind current patients that they can order contacts on the site.
Updated on 07/10/2010 with final design.
Might put another contact lens case design into the pattern. We'll see. The website currently has a callout for ordering contacts in the left column below the main navigation (see www.harmonyeyecare.com). After approval of this concept the callout will need to match the postcard for a proper connection between the two. And probably needs to be moved to the header. Gotta keep things consistent.
Another postcard will go out soon reminding patients of their next check-up. I'll be using a similar pattern as this one but with other elements dealing with eye exams. Update coming soon after feedback from client. Updated with images below.

August: Version 2Saturday, January 9th, 2010
In my earlier post I talked about version 1. After much research I began to work on version 2. So far the uppercase alphabet is in rough draft. Currently working on lowercase and numbers. In the meantime I am getting some professional feedback on the uppercase.
Here is rough version 2:
A few of the many changes include:
1. 20% wider
2. Thin strokes were thickened
3. Serifs extend left and right on most glyphs
4. Height of crossbars were lowered
5. Any round letter sits just below baseline

I believe this was the last project from my Graphic Design 1 class back in the Community College days. I was young, naive, and knew pretty much nothing about typography. I think Goudy Stout was my favorite font at the time, but I've since matured.
Anyway, here are the details:
1. No computers! Couldn't touch em during the semester.
2. Use two different magazines to combine an image with text.
3. 6 square panels including cover.
4. Black and white only.
5. Only tools were photocopier, xacto knife, and rubber cement.
My best guess is that each individual panel needs to convey the message (in this case, love) as well as when all six are combined. I'll be the first to admit my craftsmanship needed improvement. I was a freshman, give me a break!

The Grid System GuideWednesday, September 16th, 2009
What is this?
This is an ongoing guide to creating grid systems for print, which will be continually updated.
There are plenty of guides out now online about how to create grid systems for the web, even grid generators. But I've had trouble finding sufficient material online about creating grids for print. What I did find was a lot of vague terminology. Most of what I've learned about setting up the grid comes from this book: Grid Systems in Graphic Design, and Vignelli's Canon. This guide is geared towards the designer who does not have access to the book, I can not thank you enough, Brockmann. This guide is just my way of constructing the grid, and should in no way serve as the only way.
Let's Get Started:
I'm going to assume you have chosen an appropriate paper size and margins. I could go in depth about these two subjects but for now it's better to stay as an assumption.
The grid is based on leading. Baseline to baseline of next line.
1. Start by placing a block of fully justified text from your top margin down to your bottom margin.
Page: 8×10 inches. Margins: top – 1/4, inside – 1/2, outside – 1/4, bottom – 1/2.
2. Choose a typeface, size, and leading. This will serve as your body copy. Please do not use the default leading. For example: 10pt sans-serif type has a default leading of 12pt. This is generally too tight and will be harder to read. I like to stay 3-4pts above the type size. So 10pt with 14pt leading is appropriate. If you choose a serif font you can get away with 3pts above type size.
Place a blue line under each baseline.
Typeface: Helvetica. Size: 10pt. Leading: 14pt.
3. Count the number of lines of text in your block. The point of the grid is to divide the page into even blocks of space vertically. Determining how many blocks of space varies from project to project. 12 is a good starting place. 12 can be divided into 6, 4, 3, or 2. Lets say you have counted 52 lines. Divide 52 by 12, we get 4.33. No good. We need to minus 4 lines of text. 48 divided by 12, we get 4. So at every 4th line of text we place a red line under the baseline.
Right now you have a block of text with 48 lines. Which is divided into 12 rows. If 12 rows seems too restrictive, divide in half to get 6 rows for more freedom.
4. Place a green line on top of each cap-height. All 48 lines. The green line will help align photos. Photos should always align with some grid line, whether it be cap-height or baseline, or be extended to the edge of the page. Do not align the bottom of a photo with the cap-height. (green lines)
5. Now for columns. The number of columns is essentially up to you and the information you are displaying. If you have a lot of tabular data, for example an annual report, 6 columns might be more appropriate than 2. Columns are divided evenly across the page, staying inside the margins of course.
Place a red vertical line to mark the columns.
Page divided into 6 columns.
We can't stop here, though. There needs to be space between each column. We can't have words or photos running into each other. The space is determined by the distance between a baseline and the cap-height of the next line.
Black bar represents distance between baseline and cap-height.
Now translate that into the space between columns.
6. Each row needs space as well. Bottom of photos can't run into the top of another. Simply place a red line on the cap-height of the next line.
Page: 12 rows by 6 columns.
7. The grid is constructed. Now it's time for the real fun. Playing around with many different layouts to find the right one. Here are some examples.
These are just a very few of what is possible in a matter of minutes. All represent the left page of a full spread. Please don't hold these layouts against me. They were just quick mockups.
I will talk about page numbers later, and edit if anything is unclear. Stay tuned.

RESIDENTS in Warrington are being warned more gales could be heading their way today, Friday.
While not as severe as the storm which hit on Wednesday, the Met Office says a storm is moving north through the UK today.
It could hit Warrington in the evening, with heavy winds likely through the night and rain predicted throughout the day.
Already today Bent Lane in Heatley is partially blocked due to a fallen tree, close to the Green Dragon pub.
Meanwhile the town is continuing to pick up the pieces from Wednesday's severe weather.
Then, Warrington Central Station was forced to close while the town became gridlocked with the Thelwall Viaduct closed over the M6.
A school bus, with just a driver onboard, was hit by a falling tree in Appleton, forcing London Road to close for some hours.
Cheshire Police said they had one of the busiest nights on call.
While fallen trees have also shut paths around Lymm Dam.
You can send us pictures of the storms to firstname.lastname@example.com

Diablo Cody Gives Birth to Baby Marcello
Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody is now a proud mom, as the Juno scribe gave birth to her first son on Tuesday. News of baby Marcello's birth was quickly distributed to all of Cody's fans on her Twitter.
We had our boy early this morning! Marcello Daniel Maurio, 7lbs, 2 oz, lightly mustachioed.
Twitter is the same vehicle in which the news of her pregnancy made the rounds, as Cody thanked everyone "for the congrats on my fetus!" She later joked that she "just thought it would be fun to see how big I could get before someone noticed," apparently hiding the pregnancy as long as she could.
Cody married Dan Maurio, a 'Chelsea Lately' staffer, in 2009. Her most recent works include the Megan Fox-starring Jennifer's Body and Showtime's The United States of Tara. Watch Diablo's Oscar speech below!

Conversations: Tyler on Music
"MOM! Please turn off the radio! I hate music. It hurts my ears."
As the boys continued to act up noisily in the back seat I turned the radio up LOUDER.
"Come on Mom! This stuff is horrible!"
I cringed. He was insulting Tears For Fears. Classic 80s. So I began to sing along. As the commercial break came on, I said, "Ty, maybe if you listened to the words or thought about the instruments that make the music, you might understand better why music is cool and another way to express your feelings."
Tyler made a disgusted noise. "They sing too fast. Who can understand what they are singing anyway..."
So I began to sing the lyrics to the next song to Tyler, clearly so he could understand what I was singing. "Once I ran to you. Now I'll run from you..." Oh yeah. Tainted Love! Max laughed.
"Ahhh! Mom! Stop! This is horrible!"
"OK Ty. I guess I'll never be on American Idol, huh." It's not the first time he's complained about my singing.
"Nope. It's too expensive, right?"
"What?? No no. They pay all the expenses for the people on the show. It's free for them to be on it." That too expensive comment left me a little bewildered.
"Oh! So you COULD be on it if you wanted to? It's not too expensive?"
"Well, no. I'd have to try out. You know, pass an audition in front of judges...maybe in New York City..." I decided to ignore the fact that I am way too old, just for the sake of this discussion.
"Oh. Well that's easy then. You could do that. I love New York."
"Ty, are you telling me you think I could be on American Idol?? You're joking, right?"
"No Mom. I'm serious. I think you'd be great on that show. But I still hate singing."
Hmm. Tyler thinks I could be on American Idol but he wouldn't watch the show, because he hates singing. Over all, this conversation left me feeling good. Confused, but good.
After a long pause, I suddenly burst out; "And the next American Idol is...Mommy!" [insert enthusiastic crowd noise sound effect]
Max said, "Yay Mommy!!!"

Similiarily for transferring the FCS to/from memory. IIRC, this is a per-frame setting for TX on i82596 and i82557/8/9. You can find i82596 documentation on Intel's home page and the i82557/8/9 on SourceForge under the e100 (or was it e1000?) project.
Thanks, I found the e100 document (from sourceforge) and it looks like it can definately receive all sorts of busted packets with a little configuration. It's less clear what happens when you turn off the FCS generation. One part of the document mentions it gets it from RAM, which I assume means it uses the last part of the DMA'd packet??? Another explanation of the transmit state machine does not mention that you can disable FCS generation... I'm going to print this out and read it again in detail... I searched Intel's site for the e1000 docs, but could not find any detailed information. Does anyone have a link to a (legal) copy of the e1000 docs? Thanks for the detailed information.

AT&T Invests Nearly $1.15 Billion in California Wireless and Wireline Networks in First Half of 2013
Investments Strengthen Nation's Fastest and Most Reliable 4G LTE Network, Largest 4G Network In First Six Months, Velocity IP Plan Results in Enhanced Wireless Network Performance, Advanced Fiber-Optic Connectivity for More Than 30,400 California Businesses, and AT&T U-verse Services for More Than 127,700 Customer Locations
San Francisco, California, August 12, 2013
Blazing speeds. Great reliability. Broad coverage. Excellent overall performance. That's what Califonia residents want from their mobile Internet, and it's exactly what AT&T* is delivering with an array of network upgrades completed in the first half of 2013.
In the first half of 2013, AT&T invested nearly $1.15 billion in its wireless and wired networks in California. The investments included deployment of new macro cell sites, small cells and Distributed Antenna Systems across the state as a part of AT&T's Velocity IP Plan, a three-year investment plan announced last fall to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. The company also expanded and enhanced its 4G LTE network, which provides ultra-fast mobile Internet speeds, and deployed new Wi-Fi hot spots.
The Velocity IP Plan is also spurring the deployment of advanced fiber-optic connections to thousands of California businesses. In just the first six months of 2013, more than 30,400 additional business customer locations in California – located in nearly 800 multi-tenant office buildings across the state – now have access to blazing-fast, reliable connections to Internet and cloud-based resources, which ride on the fiber network.
These investments help to ensure that California residents continue to receive the best possible experience over the AT&T network, whether at home, at work or on the go. The great performance of AT&T's 4G LTE network, now the nation's fastest and most reliable, continues to be validated:
- AT&T now has the most reliable 4G LTE network. According to independent third-party data, AT&T has the highest success rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks.**
- Meanwhile, our 4G LTE service was recognized as having faster average download and upload speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld/TechHive's most recent 20-market speed tests – the second consecutive year that AT&T has ranked 1st overall. PCWorld/TechHive also ranked AT&T's as the fastest combination of 3G and 4G services in the 20 cities it tested.***
- And AT&T was named America's fastest 4G LTE network in PC Magazine's 2013 Fastest Mobile Networks 30-market study – sweeping the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from coast to coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and Southwest.****
"This robust investment in California wireless and wireline networks is critical to a 21st century economy. Our commitment creates jobs, enhances connectivity, and helps the Golden State stay at the forefront of innovation," said Ken McNeely, president, AT&T California. "AT&T has over a century of history in California – helping to create economic opportunities in health care, manufacturing, education, transportation, public safety and virtually every other economic sector. I'm proud of our consistent investment and inspired by what it means for our customers, the state and the innovation economy."
In addition, RootMetrics® has awarded AT&T 1st or tied for 1st for strongest overall call, text, and data performance in 66 of 125 national markets – including 5 of 18 markets in California, where AT&T was 1st in Modesto and tied for 1st in Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose – from January through June this year.*****
The 2013 year-to-date network investment builds on the more than $7 billion that AT&T has invested in its California wireless and wired networks from 2010 through 2012.
AT&T 4G LTE is now available in multiple areas of the state, including Bakersfield, Chico-Oroville, Fresno, Los Angeles, Madera-Chowchilla, Merced, Modesto, Napa, Oakland, Sacramento, Salinas-Seaside-Monterey, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Santa Rosa-Petaluma, Vallejo-Vacaville, Ventura-Oxnard, and Visalia-Porterville
Nationwide, more than 225 million Americans have access to AT&T 4G LTE service. By year-end 2013, AT&T expects to cover nearly 270 million people and 400 markets with its 4G LTE network.
For more information about AT&T's coverage in California or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer. For updates on the AT&T wireless network, please visit the AT&T network news page.

Ultraseek's is best, though they don't allow results page

But please don't design the system so it's always limited to "a few

Six cool gadgets enhance summer fun
With the onslaught of new outdoor and underwater tech available, it looks like the air conditioner may no longer be my favorite summer gadget.
But living in New York City has its limits, and deep-sea gadget testing would mean taking a dive into the murky waters of the Hudson River or exploring the depths of my bathtub. So I communed with my inner Cousteau and booked a trip to the Cayman Islands. The shipwrecks there are made for scuba diving, and you can swim with stingrays in the middle of the ocean.
Now that I'm back, and my suitcase, which resembled a mini-Radio Shack, made it through the TSA scanners, here is my review of the gadgets that came out on top (that is, until someone invents a device to evenly rub sunscreen on my back).
Google Glass
One thing is for sure, if you want to confuse the TSA and turn heads, even on a remote island, wear Google Glass. Not since the iPad have I seen a gadget garner such attention. While Glass has the capability to send email, text, check your calendar and receive alerts from various places like the New York Times, I use it more for taking pics and video. Its 5MP camera and 720p HD video recorder are pretty impressive, and the device includes 12.6GB of onboard storage. The unit is water-resistant, so I took it on the boat, but as Google will tell you, it's not made for scuba diving. Added bonus: There are clip-on sunglasses for when the sun is too bright (if you don't mind looking like D-Wade). The downside is you need to be connected to Wi-Fi to upload and share. Google says it's optimistic about getting the device out at the end of the year. Price point and details TBD.
I hunt gadgets like a liger. So it's hard for me to discover one I haven't seen before, like Seabob. If you can imagine NASCAR on the water and Danica Patrick racing dolphins, you can picture Seabob. Seabobbers can rent the device at various locations across the globe (or high rollers with access to the bluest of water may want to purchase it). It hits top speeds of 12 mph underwater or 10 mph over water (you do the knots conversion), and I found it extremely easy to drive. There is one throttle, and when you want to stop, you simply release the throttle. Also, there is a green and red button on the unit as well as an LCD display. Our unit governed out at 50 percent speed. Bonus: You can mount underwater cameras to the Seabob to capture cool underwater action.
Liquid Image Ego HD Action Cam, $200
A sleek little competitor in the action-camera market, Liquid Image's Ego can hold its own with 720p, 1080p and 12MP stills and a continuous shot mode -- each mode is indicated by a different LED color on the front of the unit. With just a couple of buttons, it's very easy to operate on the fly. We used an underwater housing, which costs $40, and you can purchase mounts, as well.
GoPro Hero3: Black Edition, $400
GoPros have been the household standard for action cams, and they never seem to disappoint. The footage we got using underwater housing and the GoPro Hero3 was beyond incredible. The camera takes 12MP stills and allows for various modes, including time lapse, burst mode and continuous shot. GoPros have minimal buttons (two). To be honest, any variation of GoPro is gonna be stellar. The Black Edition, which we were using, is the highest end with professional specs, and it's worth the investment. It includes a 2x sharper lens and highest picture and video quality and is packaged with lots of mounts. It also comes Wi-Fi-enabled, which we never found beneficial. It's definitely a bonus to be able to mount a GoPro (to the Seabob for example) and let it go, knowing you will have great footage later. Of all the gadgets we used, this was the one we turned to the most. If you've never used one, it's worth giving it a go.
Liquid Image Scuba Mask, $300
Believe it or not, it's a 1080p scuba cam. By toggling a shutter switch, you can alternate between 12MP photo or HD video up to 130 feet deep. It's pretty convenient and has a great POV. The camera is spectacular, but for someone with a smaller face, like myself, the mask filled with water often.
Sony MP3 Underwater Headphones, $80
There might be nothing more boring than swimming lap after lap in a pool. Knowing that, when I first spotted these underwater headphones, I thought there was no way they were going to work. I was wrong. They stay in and work great underwater at depths of up to 6 feet. There's no connecting to Bluetooth -- this is a standard MP3 player, drag and drop songs from your desktop.

Battery Maker A123 Systems Acquired by Chinese Firm for $260M

Congress isn't too sure about the outcome
A123 Systems
finally has a new owner after its auction this past weekend, but Congress isn't too happy about the outcome.
Chinese firm Wanxiang Group won the auction for A123 Systems on Saturday for about $260 million. This has concerned certain members of Congress, who said that A123's contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense are at stake.
"I am very concerned by Wanxiang's acquisition of A123," said Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland). "A123 maintains several contracts with the Department of Defense and given the thin line between Wanxiang and the Chinese Government, I am concerned about the Government of China having access to sensitive technologies being used by our military forces."
However, Wanxiang doesn't have full access to A123's technology. Part of A123 was also sold to Illinois-based Navitas Systems LLC, which will hold the DOD contracts for $2.2 million.
Back in mid-October,
A123 Systems officially filed for bankruptcy
and agreed to sell its automotive business assets to Johnson Controls -- a company that optimizes energy efficiencies in car batteries, buildings and electronics.
Before that, A123 was missing its loan payments. It had received $249.1 million in grants from the U.S. government in 2009 to develop green, electric car batteries. It was discovered that the U.S. government gave A123
a $1 million grant
the day it filed for bankruptcy.
A123 Systems suffered a huge kick earlier this year when it announced a $55 million battery replacement program for Fisker Automotive's Karma. The vehicle had issues with the batteries' hose clamps.
A123 Systems joins a list of other green companies that filed for bankruptcy after receiving government loans and grants. Back in September 2011, solar panel company
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy
after receiving a $535 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). In November,
Beacon Power
(maker of flywheels for grid efficiency) filed after receiving a $43 million loan guarantee from DOE in 2010.
In January 2012, EV battery maker
Ener1 filed for bankruptcy
after its subsidiary, EnerDel, won a $118.5 million grant from DOE in 2009.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware will hold a hearing on the result of the A123 Systems auction on Tuesday, December 11.

Cool Crates – Giveaway
We just moved into a new place, and I'm still trying to find a space for everything. My old house had a built in wine rack and a lot more cupboard space, so I'm thinking wooden crates would come in handy. I saw these beautiful crates by DecoCrate at this year's Kamers vol Gesekenke, and they're a pretty solution to any storage problem!
DecoCrate is a new décor item and storage solution by The Food Fox – a food blogger and lover of all things beautiful. DecoCrates are handmade by brother and sister team Sunley Uys and Ilse van der Merwe, using restored and new pine wood.
The crates are handpainted and stained to become beautiful vintage-inspired storage crates, perfect for storing kitchen items, wine bottles, books, fire wood, kids toys, etc. The crates are stackable and make wonderfully colourful racks – you can even stack your whole wall!
They have recently started to custom-make crates, so you can choose your own labels or names. You'll find DecoCrate at The Farmer's Daughter in Stellenbosch – large, medium and small.
The friendly folks from Decocrates are giving away one of their beautiful crates! One lucky reader will win a 30 x 30 x 45 cm DecoCrate ("Full Cream MILK" design) to the value of R450.
How to enter:
Just leave a comment telling us what you want to use the crate for!
Term & Conditions:
This prize is not transferrable for cash.
Competition closes 8 December 2011
We regret that the competition is only for people living in South Africa.
Only enter if you live in the Cape Winelands, or if you're willing to collect the crate in Stellenbosch

One of the many ginchy things about CMJ is that bands often plan their tours around the fest. And if they're coming from way out somewhere and don't have the dough to run around America for weeks, they might just play a few east coast dates and hope for the best. And for those of you coming to town for CMJ, that means you can catch a band that most probably won't make it to your hometown anytime soon.
Witness the absolute raging riff-kickers, Reptiles, as they come over from Melbourne, Australia, get in, get out, and probably somebody gets hurt. They slather graveyard goo over classic Aussie stomp, like a bad mood Celibate Rifles coffee-jagging through the Cramps catalog. Check out their street-crawling clip for Quincy below, and peep over their NYC gig dates too.
Tour Dates For Reptiles:
10/15 – New York City, NY – Passenger Bar

Dongfeng Race Team wins Sanya's Team Vestas Wind In-Port Race
The team had already made race history last month by becoming the first Chinese-backed crew to win a leg in the 41-year-old event, when they claimed the third stage from Abu Dhabi to China, and now they have become the first to win an in-port race too. They only achieved it after a battle-royal with the rest of the fleet, with the lead changing hands through the first four legs as, successively, Team Alvimedica (Charlie Enright/USA), Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker/GBR) and Dongfeng Race Team snatched the advantage.
Walker and the rest of the crew on Azzam will be more than satisfied with another solid podium finish in second place as it takes them four points clear of the fleet at the top of the In-Port Race Series table.
So far, we have had four different winners from four in-port races in a series that is just as closely fought as the offshore legs.
Enright's Turkish/American team snatched third spot from Team Brunel (Bouwe Bekking/NED) as the podium finish of Leg 3 was exactly replicated in the Sanya bay.
For so long, however, it was anyone's guess who was going to emerge victorious from an enthralling tussle after the weather gods smiled benignly on the fleet just before the 1400 local time (UTC+8) start. The wind suddenly picked up to 10 knots plus and all the fleet, with the exception of MAPFRE (Xabi Fernández/ESP), shot off from the starters' gun. The Spanish found themselves the wrong side of the starting line and had to cross it, turn 360 degrees, before bearing away up the course.
Team Alvimedica were the first to reach the first gate and they were still just in front at the second, but only after Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing had swapped the lead with them and Team Brunel had threatened to.But Dongfeng, as ever, were sailing their own race and they found extra breeze to the left of a course, which was perfectly located for viewing for a sizeable and vocal local crowd in the Sanya sun.
By the fourth gate, Caudrelier seemed to have the race firmly in his grasp with a 200-metre advantage on the fleet, but Azzam discovered some extra pressure approaching the fifth and cut the lead to a mere 50 metres.
However, Caudrelier and his mixture of Chinese, French and Swedish sailors have already proved time after time in the event, that they are at their very best when they are under pressure, and they coolly kept Walker's crew at bay to claim a deserved victory to huge cheers on the Sanya docks.
For MAPFRE, it was another disappointing day as they never recovered from their poor start. Team SCA (Sam Davies/GBR) sailed well after winning the previous in-port race in Abu Dhabi in early January, but failed to threaten the leaders here.
Sanya Team Vestas Wind In-Port Race results (actual finishing time):
- Dongfeng Race Team 14:54:29 -1pt
- Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing 14:55:07 -2pts
- Team Alvimedica 14:56:20 -3pts
- Team Brunel 14:56:36 -4pts
- Team SCA 14:57:30 -5pts
- MAPFRE 15:00:03 -6pts
- Team Vestas Wind -DNS
Overall In-Port Standings:
(Please see note below regarding the tie between Team Alvimedica and Team SCA)
- Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing -8pts
- Team Brunel -12pts
- Dongfeng Race Team -14pts
- Team Alvimedica -15pts

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
250 donors shelled out $100k or more for Trump's inauguration, providing 91% of funds
April 19, 2017 | What does it take to stage a welcome-to-the-neighborhood blowout? President Trump raised $107 million for his inaugural festivities, shattering previous records. The former titleholder, Barack Obama, raised half that, $53.2 million, in 2009 — though Obama imposed far stricter limits on amounts and sources of donations. At least 47 people or organizations gave $1 million or…
A climate of cash in votes on global warming
August 29, 2016 | For years now, the scientific consensus has been that climate change is occurring and is caused mainly by the actions of human beings. So why, during the first month of the current Congress, did nearly half the Senate – all Republicans – vote against an amendment stating that human activities contribute significantly to climate change? We don't know. But…
They talk the talk, but don't write the checks: No Trump donors on Republican stage yet
July 19, 2016 | Republicans are denouncing Ohio Gov. John Kasich for ditching his own party's convention held in the state he governs. Of course, he's not the only nationally known GOP leader to skip the proceedings. It gets worse, though: None of Monday's or today's prime-time speakers at the Cleveland confab have donated more than $200 to Donald Trump's campaign or the super…
Where the (GOP) parties at?
July 16, 2016 | Numerous Republican elites are ditching their party's national convention in Cleveland this year. (And with some pretty lame excuses, too.) Boy, are they missing out. Sure, on what likely will be a fascinating main event, but mostly they're skipping out on some of the biggest soirées of the season. Special interests, lobbyists, politicians and the media…
Taking Care of Their Own? Not All New Party Committee Chiefs Were Big Givers
November 18, 2014 | With Monday's announcement that Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) will lead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, all four House and Senate party committee chairmanships are now filled heading into the 2016 election cycle. While a mix of skills lead to success in these slots, contributions from leadership PACs are often thought to enhance candidates' chances…
Mississippi Mudfest: Campaigns, Outside Groups Give It All They've Got
May 30, 2014 | Mississippi can lay claim to some of the GOP's ugliest infighting leading up to Tuesday's Senate primary vote, marked by a proxy war between the conservative establishment and tea party affiliates that's triggered a torrent of spending by outside groups. Poll results have been all over the map in recent weeks, indicating that state senator and…
Natural Gas Producers Pushing, Against Chemical Cos., to End Export Restrictions
June 17, 2013 | Market prices for liquefied natural gas are typically higher abroad, and API's member companies could reap vast profits overseas. But the fight to drop export restrictions is pitting them against another strong presence in Washington with whom they are sometimes allied: domestic users of their products, including DOW Chemical.
Moody Downgrades, BP Returns and More in Capital Eye Opener: Sept. 23
September 23, 2011 | Moody's evaluation was meant to be apolitical. But Moody's itself doesn't stay above the fray. Last year, the company spent $1.5 million on federal lobbying, and during the first half of this year, it spent $610,000.
Amid Budget Debate, Some Members of Congress Own Bits of U.S. Debt
August 1, 2011 | In 2010, at least 14 veteran members of Congress personally owned a portion of the U.S. debt, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of congressional personal financial disclosure reports.
BP Continues to Increase Donations to Federal Political Candidates
June 18, 2011 | Oil company BP continues its slow climb out of political purgatory, as its political action committee on Friday reported donating thousands of dollars in May to federal-level politicians hailing from a variety of states.

The 19-year-old was linked with Celtic at the weekend.
And Roberts, himself a former Tottenham player, told the First Division club's website: "We'll have to wait and see what happens. The boy is top notch.
"Through friends down south, I know Tottenham and other clubs are watching. He deserves to go to a higher level."
Bryson, who has come through the ranks with Clyde, impressed this season in a CIS Cup tie against Rangers that the Cumbernauld side forced into extra-time then helped defeat Celtic in the Scottish Cup.
"He's been playing exceptionally well in recent weeks, getting better with every game," said Roberts.
Although speculation over his future is rising every week, the youngster insists he is only focused on Clyde.
"I've not heard anything, so I'm just going to keep my head down and work hard," said Bryson.
"I've got ambitions to play at a higher level, but right now I'm more interested in Clyde's results.
"Tom Brighton, Eddie Malone, Stephen O'Donnell, the whole lot of the squad could get a move to a higher level. Everybody loves it here.
"Certainly, I've got ambitions and I want to play at a higher level.
"It's good to know you are being recognised and maybe one day I'll get a move, but I am happy where I am just now.
"I'm getting first-team football and I'm delighted how everything is going and, hopefully, it will keep up.
"I've played 70 odd games after breaking into the team at 17 and I love it here."

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

Sasuke may be had more chakra, but the only fact to use CS takes a lot of chakra and reduce his stamina greatly so that he can't fight for too long with it like we've seen in part1, plus the fact he needed to conserv some chakra to contain Orochimaru in his body. So overall eventhough Sasuke had more chakra from the start, CS and containing Orochimaru made the thing harder. So normally Sasuke without CS or Orochimaru could fight much more longer
Btw, i think databook states that Sasuke has more chakra than Kakashi

Visitors / Employees
Clean streets, attractive open spaces, and well-maintained signs, buildings, and roads all contribute to a high quality of life. Our Public Space Maintenance (PSM) program works diligently to continually improve the appearance of our historic streets.
Clean Neighborhood
Our team of Public Space Maintenance employees clean and enhance more than 160 University City commercial and residential blocks, and maintain nearly 150 public trash cans throughout the district. PSM services include sidewalk sweeping— mechanically (using bio-diesel) and manually, removing stickers and posters from poles and signs, assisting with neighborhood events, and beautification projects such as clearing weeds, removing leaves and watering street trees. Crews also power wash gum stains and dirt from sidewalks. Heavily-trafficked commercial streets and areas adjacent to university campuses receive daily sweeping with pans and brooms, as well as mechanical cleaning. Other areas with a high density of rental properties are cleaned once or twice weekly, with machines. Help keep University City clean: support PSM here.

We are running out of time. There is no end in sight unless much political capital is put at risk now. We have a superb team of economists and technicians, but their voices seem to have been lost.
I recall Lawrence Summers, chief White House economic adviser, rightly claiming that if markets over-react, the government has to over-react even more. US Treasury secretary Tim Geithner, even in his much criticised first announcement, sounded like a man of the right principles: We must stabilise the financial system, regardless of cost, was the message delivered with clenched teeth.

Fierce Content Management is reporting that DuckDuckGo grew quite a bit over the last year, probably due to privacy concerns on the part of users.
DuckDuckGo reported phenomenal growth last year, and it's no wonder.
In a time when our privacy is continually being eroded, and every day there seems to be a new revelation about government surveillance, many people are looking away from major search engines like Google and Bing and moving to DuckDuckGo, a service that guarantees it doesn't save your search information.More at Fierce Content Management Image credit: DuckDuckGo
I'm very glad to see DuckDuckGo doing so well recently. I highly recommend using it when you want your searches to be private. It's a much better option than Google, Bing, Yahoo or some of the other better known search engines.
This report makes me wonder how long Google will be king of the search engines. More and more people are disturbed at the tracking and bubbling that happens when you use Google. Privacy is becoming a major issue for people on the web, particularly while searching for information.
I actually had a friend of mine who is not very tech-savvy ask me about this. He was worried that Google was tracking his searches and sharing it with the government. I was surprised to hear this from him as it's the sort of thing that he doesn't usually pay attention to in the media.
Sure enough though it had gotten through to him and he was worried. So I gave him the URL for DuckDuckGo and told him to use that instead of Google if privacy mattered to him.
I also showed him the DuckDuckGo site, and let him scan the DuckDuckGo pages that explain the differences between DuckDuckGo and Google:
He was impressed and also somewhat shocked at the mechanics of Google's search experience.
It might seem very early for me to ponder this, but I can't help but think that Google's days are numbered as the number one search engine. It might or might not be DuckDuckGo that dethrones Google, but the issue of privacy is beginning to matter to even non-tech-savvy users.
I suspect that a quiet tidal wave of anger about privacy is forming out there, and I wonder if it will someday sweep Google and the other large search engines away. I doubt any of those companies are worried about this in the short term, but it's something they had better pay attention to over the long haul.
What's your take on this? Will DuckDuckGo or some other privacy protecting search engine eventually destroy Google? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. :-)
Rule 14 doesn't block anything. It's *skipping over* rule 15 in order to
allow TCP initial SYN packets to reach further filter processing. The
counter tells you how many TCP connections have been initiated.
Rule 15 ostensibly blocks all TCP, but since initial SYNs skip over it,
and packets for established connections are supposed to get passed by the
stateful filter before reaching *any* rules, it's not supposed to block
anything legitimate at all. However, due to IPFilter bugs, sometimes
legitimate TCP packets don't get passed by the stateful filter, and that's
where they land. You can't tell a priori whether the count represents
attempted attacks or filter glitches, but it usually tends to be the
latter. BTW, not all glitches have any operational impact.
Rule 16 heads a group, and is only actually applied if none of the rules
within the group match. M0n0wall uses group 100 for the LAN, so the
counter represents LAN-originated traffic that you have *not* allowed in
your WebGUI rules. The rules you configure under "LAN" show up as "group
100" here.
