Do You Live In A Smart City Or A Dumb City?
Want to hang out with a posse of high school valedictorians? Then Boston, Hartford or San Francisco are probably your best bets. At least according to The Daily Beast, which ranked the smartest and dumbest cities in the country. Those three cities came out on top, while Las Vegas, San Antonio, and Fresno wallowed at the bottom. Some caveats: the list only ranks cities of one million or more residents, which is why there are only 55 cities on the list. The full list of ranking criteria included an examination of both per capita education levels (that means the number of bachelor and graduate degrees held by residents in any given city) and the overall intellectual environment of the city. How does one determine "intellectual environment"? By looking at the number of institutions of higher learning, number of libraries, and quantity of non-fiction book sales in the past year.
Even so, smarts aren't always where you think: Our nation's capital ranked 9th, behind Minneapolis, MN; Austin, TX; and Denver, CO. And NYC ranked 16th.
This is the second year The Beast has created such a ranking. Last year, Raleigh-Durham, NC, took top honors with San Francisco and Boston following up behind. And sadly, Las Vegas was at the bottom of the list in 2009, too. Apparently, what happens in Vegas isn't that smart.

Summer Is Bad For Women's Health
Damn, it seems like us gals just can't catch a break! First we found out about summer on-set depression. Now a bunch of new studies are saying that summer is hazardous to women's health in other ways. And I mean, legitimately dangerous. Sorry to be a downer, but researchers have linked the sunny season to higher levels of autoimmune diseases in women. It seems that us gals are more likely to develop these icky diseases in places where the UV intensity is high. But that's not all. Research also claims that warm weather decreases amniotic fluid levels in pregnant chicks. This condition, known as oligohydramnios, is a lot more common in the summer because more people get dehydrated. Great, so I guess I can add "summer" to my ever-growing list of health concerns. So is summer still your favorite season? [LA Times]

Great Article from the Wall Street Journal: No More Resumes
Good Morning,
Just read this article by Rachel Silverman, that appeared in the Wall Street Journal last week. I loved it. It is a total reflection of what we do.
For senior executives, it is a new ball game. If you don't adapt, you will face massive problems in driving your career. If you fail to connect to a new leadership position, don't blame it on age or the economy. You need to take a hard look at whether or not you are contemporary as a business leader and possess an in depth understanding of all the new business paradigms.
Warning, almost every exec who lands a new job falls into a comfort zone and is not proactive in positioning themselves for new positions. Are you one of those executives? Are you waiting for the axe to fall again? Don't make that mistake.
Your job search never, never, never stops....even if you are employed.

OLYMPIC champions Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen credited a Weymouth pub for fuelling them to achieve Australia's second sailing gold medal.
The sailors, who claimed victory with a day to spare in the 49er high-performance Skiff class, said the two-for-one meals at the Swan pub in St Thomas Street seemed to bring them luck.
Helm Outteridge, who finished fifth at the last Games in Beijing, said he had enjoyed his stay in Weymouth and Portland over the past three years to train for the big event.
He said: "It's been great.
"I've been here a lot since 2009 – once in 2009 and twice every year since.
"We spend a lot of time going into the Swan pub, we feel like we're at home here."
Outteridge, who was born in Waratah, said the Cove Inn, Chiswell was the Aussie's team base but the Weymouth Wetherspoons seemed to have brought them good fortune.
He said: "The Cove is the Aussie team house but we like to eat at the Swan. Every time we haven't eaten there we haven't really done too well and when we eat there we seem to have great days."
Crew Jensen, whose nickname is Goobs, said he liked to buy the two for £10 meals and eat both himself.
The Australian duo said when their teammate Tom Slingsby won Australia's first gold medal in the Laser dinghy class on Monday the team partied through the night on Portland.
Celebrations continued when the 49er team achieved the gold spot ahead of yesterday's double-point medal race.
Outteridge not only celebrated his first Olympic medal yesterday on the top of the Pavilion, but also marked a remarkable recovery from a tragic accident that at one point looked set to destroy his career.
In January 2005, the Australian sailing star broke his back in a car accident after falling asleep at the wheel and colliding with a tree.
He spent a month in hospital, another three months in a back brace and feared he might never be able to walk again.
His recovery was a success – and he missed only eight months of sailing.
Outteridge said the accident enabled him to think about his future. He said all his family and friends who had supported him had gathered at the Nothe to watch him win gold.

PARCC Testing
About The Test Itself & Administration
The testing window for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test opens across the state of New Jersey on April 4 and closes on May 13. During that period, all Mount Laurel students in Grades 3-8 will take the mandatory assessment. This assessment is administered on a computer. While the testing window is open for six weeks, students will test approximately eight hours during that time.
This is the second year of mandated PARCC testing in the state of New Jersey. Previously, our students took the NJASK Test for all subject areas. The NJ ASK will now be used only for Science and only in Grades 4 and 8. That test will be administered on May 25, with make-ups on June 1.
Our students have been familiarized with the use of the computer and the necessary functions required while testing. Each student will have to use headphones, which we are asking that they bring from home for health reasons. Any set of ear buds (must be double, not single) or headphones will suffice. They should be brought in a plastic bag and labeled with their name to leave in school for the testing period.The following resources are provided to help parents better understand the PARCC assessment and its impact upon students.
Mount Laurel School District Information:
From The New Jersey Department of Education:
Understanding Your Child's PARCC Scores
Parent reports of student scores are compiled by the New Jersey Department of Education. The results of the 2014-15 Spring test period were received in our district offices in mid-December and were sent out to homes immediately upon sorting, stuffing and processing them for mailing. This year, there is only one PARCC Testing period, but we have not yet been advised when parents should expect score reports
Since this is a new test, it is important for you to understand the resulting scores and what they mean to your child's academic success. We have compiled some of the resources provided by the state that we believe may be most helpful in that regard.
Should you have questions that remain unanswered, please speak with your child's teacher. Remember that this is a single assessment of your child's skills. Together with a student's grades, teacher feedback and scores on other tests, the PARCC test score report will help give a more complete picture of how well your child is performing academically.
Here's another website that offers an explanation of the test results, as well as a video presentation by teachers that walks you through a sample report:
This page offers a number of videos explaining various aspects of the PARCC Test and its results.

When I first started designing I was deathly afraid to actually go into the code and change things myself. I always relied upon the WYSIWYG features of Dreamweaver which proved to be very limiting as HTML can sometimes point blank refuse to do what you tell it to.
After I started creating CSS pages and manually editing my code I became a far better web designer and was able to keep up with the current technologies.
I have created a few entries below that will help any aspiring web designer to create better web sites faster and easier.

Financial Word of the Week: Tax Bracket
Earlier this month, we discussed tax deductions and charitable deductions. This week, we want to talk about tax brackets.
The United States has a progressive tax system, which means your marginal tax rate increases as your taxable income increases. Tax brackets indicate the marginal tax rate that applies to you based on whether your taxable income falls within a certain range or "bracket." There are seven tax brackets in the United States, with marginal tax rates ranging from 10 percent to 39.6 percent.
A marginal tax rate is the tax rate you pay on each additional dollar of income. In other words, the first dollar of taxable income is taxed at the lowest rate. As your taxable income increases into the next bracket, only those dollars within that bracket are taxed at the new marginal tax rate. The actual percent of your taxable income that you pay to the IRS is called your Effective Tax Rate.
Remember that your taxable income is the income left over after subtracting all allowable deductions and exemptions. We'll discuss exemptions in our next tax-related financial word of the week.
To see which tax bracket might be applicable to you, please refer to the IRS website or see the below example.

The International Boxing Association (AIBA) applied for entry to the 2008 Beijing Olympics but was rejected over concerns about a lack of international competitiveness. Yet women's boxing kept fighting.
AIBA got a new president in 2006, Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu, who was also Taiwan's IOC representative. AIBA's women's boxing commission set to work growing the sport, educating decision-makers and tried again for 2012.
"During that time, we had to educate the population on women's boxing," said Christy Halbert, a coach for the 2012 Olympic team and a member of the women's commission. "A lot of people didn't realize women's boxing wasn't already in the Olympics. We also had myths to dispel. There was a long-standing belief that women's bodies were somehow too frail to box."
AIBA's proposal for the 2012 Games asked for women to compete in five weight categories. In 2009, the IOC accepted women's boxing for 2012, and the two agreed on three weight classes, 12 boxers in each (51, 60 and 75 kilograms). One men's class was dropped to make room for the 36 women in boxing's athlete quota. To compare, there are 250 male boxers across 10 weight classes in London.
"We will give our best to convince the IOC to give more representation to women boxers at the 2016 Olympics," said Wu. "I can ensure you that the world will be shocked when it sees the first women boxers competing at the Olympics. Be sure to be surprised by the level of the athletes."
The IOC's decision has fuelled big development in women's boxing. Ten new countries sent competitors to the 2012 Women's World Boxing Championships that had never competed in a world championships before, nations like Afghanistan, Colombia, Jamaica, and Nigeria.
But for all the forward motion, there are also glimpses of the gender inequities that still exist. The women's bouts are all scheduled for afternoons in London, even the gold-medal finals, while all of the prime evening time slots are filled by men's bouts. Bulgarian coach Michail Takov complained on Sunday that the women must box on consecutive days, while the men get several days of rest between fights. And last year AIBA suggested that wearing skirts would make the women look "elegant" and help to "distinguish" them from the males, since all the fighters wear headgear. It angered some of the women, while others shrugged it off. The skirts were left as optional.
Canada's Mary Spencer tucked quietly into the athlete's section on Sunday to scout the competition ahead of her Monday bout in the 75-kilogram weight class. She's not the only boxer whose country has made her its poster-girl for medal expectations in this event.
The tournament is full of intriguing athletes. Take Irish five-time world champ Katie Taylor, who gave up playing for Ireland's national soccer team for boxing. Elizabeth Andiego is one of only two of Kenya's non-track and field female athletes. Britain's Nicola Adams paid the bills as a construction worker and an extra on the British TV show Coronation Street.
"It was always my dream to compete in the Olympic Games," said Adams. "There were plenty of times when I thought it was never going to happen."
Here are some notable competitors in the 75-kilogram weight class with Canada's Mary Spencer:
Savannah Marshall (Britain) – The 21-year-old, nose bloodied, won the 2012 world championship and will have remarkable support in a boxing venue that has been boisterous.
Claressa Shields (U.S.) – This tough and candid 17-year-old upset Spencer at a recent tournament and the Canadian thirsts for a rematch. Shields' tough upbringing in Flint, Mich. has been one of Team USA's most redemptive stories.
Anna Laurell (Sweden) – The 32-year-old won bronze at the world championships in May after giving Spencer the upset that had jeopardized the Canadian's Olympic berth. The 6-footer won world championships in 2001 and 2005.
Jinzi Li (China) – This 22-year-old is Spencer's first opponent, and the one Spencer beat in the gold medal final at the 2010 world championships. She won her own world title in 2008.Report Typo/Error

Educational Psychology and Its Benefits
Psychology may naively be defined as the study of behaviors. And the educational psychology is the study of teachers, students, educational curriculums and the teaching methods involved. It not only provides a systematic database of facts but also helps you to develop certain generalized convictions to be applied in the classroom environment. That is why the educational psychology is called an applied psychology.
The main objective of the educational psychology is to help the teachers in teaching the students. However, there are certain benefits that you can get as a teacher:
1. You can develop certain convictions with the help of educational psychology to promote your students' mental growth, improve their learning process and develop their personalities. You can also help them in their social behaviors.
2. You can define and set-up education objectives of your students in terms of their conducts, attitudes and behaviors. When you have a clear picture of your refined goals and objectives, you can develop a befitting curriculum besides improving your teaching methods.
3. The educational psychology is not a one-way traffic. Being a teacher, you can solve your own behavioral problems as well. You can develop a certain level of sympathy and objectivity with the problems of your students to get the best results.
4. You can achieve better understanding of behaviors of your students. You can make them realize importance of social relationships and improve their social confidence, their participation in groups and cooperativeness.
5. You can analyze your collected data and use the generalized convictions in handling certain educational situations such as selection of instruction material, structure of teaching methods and development of desired outcomes. The instruction modules should be developed in a way that the instruction material and the teaching methods should not obstruct the learning process.
6. You can develop a better perspective for judging both the results of your own teachings and the educational practices of your colleagues. The educational psychology provides a background to handle intricacies involved in teaching of children. It helps you to develop a scientific, objective and problem solving mindset towards the learning process.
7. You can analyze behaviors of your students and find solid ways for normal adjustment and personality development. The educational psychology also helps you to set up and define progressive teaching education. You can develop guidance programs and functional formats for organizational and administrative matters.
8. A scientific usage of the educational psychology can also help you to solve certain clinical problems such as reading disability, stammering, chronic offensive attitudes and emotional disturbance. However, it is advisable to consult professional psychiatrist in severe cases.
In brief, the educational psychology offers ways to study behaviors of your students and develop solid convictions to handle educational problems. The studies have proven that proper knowledge of educational psychology can help the teacher to achieve their educational goals and objectives in a smarter way.

Diggy Simmons makes his voice heard on his new Scream Tour
Being a child star is the dream of many kids that love to do music, act or play sports, but it's not a likely path or reality for many youth.
Of the kids that do make it into the entertainment industry, some benefit from the fact that their family already has connections to the industry in some way. Actress Emma Roberts is daughter of actor Eric Roberts and is the niece of one of the top actresses in Hollywood, Julia Roberts. Similarly, Jaden and Willow Smith, son and daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, have been able to benefit from their parents' connections to launch their young careers in the entertainment business.
Another up-and-coming young star is Daniel Dwayne Simmons III, better known as Diggy Simmons, son of the "Run" in legendary hip-hop group Run-DMC and nephew to ingenious business powerhouse Russell Simmons.
Diggy became a member of the entertainment industry at the young age of 10 when his family was the subject of MTV reality show "Run's House," which ran from the fall of 2005 to the summer of 2009. Once the show ended, Diggy began pursuing a career in hip-hop which eventually led him to signing a record deal with Atlantic Records after successfully launching his first solo mixtape. His work since has earned him a coveted spot on the cover of XXL Magazine's yearly "Freshman" issue, which indicates who they believe will be the most successful new young guns in the rap game.
Still in the midst of his teenage years, the now 16-year-old Diggy is prepping for the release of his debut album through his new Scream Tour: NXG, which hits Milwaukee's The Rave/Eagle's Ballroom this Thursday and features Mindless Behavior, Milwaukee's Jacob Latimore, Hamilton Park and The OMG Girlz.
The new music that Diggy and his label are prepping is a release that Diggy believes will show his growth as a lyricist and rapper in general while giving people stories that are relatable.
"I've definitely gotten better since the three mixtapes that I put out - just better content-wise, better lyrically. It's just a great project. Sonically you can just listen to it from top to bottom and almost get a story from it because it covers almost every single type of thing that you'd want to hear, not just in hip-hop music, but in general. I've taken a lot of time on it. Besides the fact that I'm a perfectionist, I just want to give people my best body of work. That's what I feel like it is.I'm beyond excited because it's definitely going to surprise a lot of people."
Diggy attributes the growth he's experienced recently to the work he's put in since his first mixtape, which allowed him to find himself and exactly what direction he wanted his sound to go in.
"The mixtapes and the freestyles and just working on music in
general definitely more than just made me better, it made me find my niche and my sound and, you know, where I fit in musically. Not with the world, but more so myself and what works best for me. I definitely attribute it to the mixtapes and all the work that I've done prior to making this album."
This Thursday won't be the first time that Diggy has been in Milwaukee to do a show, but he says that this latest show is largely different from his last tour and is bigger in scope than his previous visit.
"If you saw me on the Closer To My Dreams tour, which was at The Rave as well – it was the BET 106 & Park tour – it's definitely a whole different show from that. But even though it's really big and grand and really epic, it still has an intimate feel to it. I definitely interact with all the people that come out to see me; I definitely make that an intimate experience for them and make them feel really close to me. But, it's definitely high energy and it's just a fun, good time from top to bottom. I'm definitely in love with my set and I love just playing it every night."
With such a historically important family, especially when talking about the genre of hip-hop and the hip-hop culture itself, Diggy wants to set it straight that he's doing what he does because it's his love and not because he's trying to live up to the legends already in his family.
"I mean no disrespect to anybody in my family, or my last name, or my dad, but it's definitely not that. It's my own drive. I, myself, want to take hip-hop to new heights. I just want to make it something globally that's for everybody and that's what I feel my album has as well. It just has this universal, great feel that even though in my verses I'm rhyming and rapping, it's way more than hip-hop is. But, it still has the basics and you know, makes it feel like it has both touches to it."
Being 16, education is something that still comes first to the aspiring emcee, and his new tour schedule is set up perfectly around his education schedule and that of the young people that wish to see the tour.
"Even though I do what I do, and that's what people see me do all the time, I always keep education first and all the people around me keep it first and always make sure it goes in my schedule. The Scream Tour has worked out great because since all the kids are in school during the week, all the concerts are during the weekend. So it's not like I really have to fit too much around the shows because they're not consecutive, over and over. It's like three days on, and then the week off."
As a young man in a position that so many other young people want to be in, he strongly cautions them that an education is integral to success, which is why he's going to graduate from high school and also pursue a college degree in the future.
"I definitely think that education, like I said for me, comes first. You have to go there first to get to that certain place. There's way more adult stars than there are child stars and that's because those adult stars first went to the books and they went to school and they did what they had to do to get to where they wanted to be, and I definitely think that's important. Even though I won't be able to be on campus and have that same experience, I want to do online courses. Even though I'm going to be on the road, I'm going to pursue that with college."
Whether or not Diggy will be one of the next sensations today's youth grab onto is something that's yet to be seen, but whatever happens, the young man has his head on straight and is very level-headed about the experience.
His latest single, "Do It Like You," can be heard here:

text: Energy & Industry All that glitters... Staff April 13, 1998 From the print edition Print Share Subscribe Donate Now A citizens' group in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., is trying to drum up opposition to a proposed open-pit gold mine a few miles from town. Royal Gold Inc. has been conducting exploratory drilling on Forest Service land, and a full-scale operation may begin once the price of gold increases. Resident Bill McNeill, who founded the new group, the Mono County Mining Committee, says the mine threatens wilderness values and the area's tourism-based economy. Nearby Yosemite National Park and the Mammoth Mountain ski area draw year-round visitors to Mammoth Lakes. Although the group hopes to change mining policy in the entire county, says McNeill, "our primary goal is to be certain that this particular mine does not happen." The committee has received formal support from the local tourism commission and chamber of commerce, but the miners have the advantage of the 1872 General Mining Law, which encourages mining on public land. A public meeting with the Mono County Board of Supervisors and the local planning commission is set for April 21, when the group will discuss the county's role in mining operations on federal lands. For further information about the group's activities, call Bill and Linda McNeill at 760/934-4141, send e-mail to email@example.com or write to P.O. Box 100, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546.

A 23-year-old St. John's woman who held up a drug store pharmacy out of desperation for drugs has been given a 2-1/2-year jail term.
Raquel Sonier was sentenced to 31 1/2 months in provincial court in St. John's. Judge Robert Hyslop gave her 42 days straight-time credit for the time she's already served in jail, leaving 30 months on her term.
Sonier pleaded guilty to armed robbery, possessing a weapon and breaching a recognizance.
She was charged after she held up the pharmacy at Shopper's Drug Mart on Lemarchant Road on Dec. 11, 2013. Sonier got a cab to the store, walked behind the counter at the pharmacy, approached the pharmacist on duty and demanded methodone.
When the pharmacist backed off, Sonier grabbed her neck, breaking the pharmacist's necklace. A second female pharmacist, working in a back office, heard screams and ran out. She threw a garbage bucket over Sonier's head and kicked her, causing Sonier to buckle at the knees. The second pharmacist and two male customers held Sonier down until police arrived shortly after.
Sonier admitted to police what she did and said it was because she was having withdrawal symptoms, including body chills.
Sonier had been released after her initial court appearance, but was jailed Jan. 30 of this year for failing to sign in to RNC headquarters, one of the conditions of her recognizance.
Both pharmacists on duty the day of the robbery wrote victim impact statements, which were read in court by the judge. The women said they suffered emotional and psychological effects they've from the incident.
"I feel a loss of security at work...," wrote one of the pharmacists, who underwent counselling. "I fear it will happen again."
Crown prosecutor Sheldon Steeves recommended a three-year sentence, noting the seriousness of the incident and the impact it's had on the pharmacists, who he said were vulnerable because of their line of work.
Defence lawyer Jason Edwards said 30 months was more appropriate because Sonier is a youthful, first-time offender who needs help for her addiction.
He said Sonier has been abusing drugs since the age of 11 and was dismissed from the methodone program last year for missing appointments.
"That turned her recovery into a tail spin," Edwards said. "Things were getting out of hand."
He said Sonier has a four-year-old son and she wants to get her life straightened out.
Sonier cried when Edwards spoke of her son.
Hyslop said it was unfortunate what Sonier was going through, but said what she did was serious — using a weapon.
"This could've been so much more serious. Fortunately, it wasn't," the judge said, "not due to (Sonier), but to the alertness and outright heroism of (the pharmacist)."
While Hyslop said he doesn't want to encourage people to engage in that type of retaliation, he commended the woman for her quick actions.
"Clearly, this is a case of a troubled young woman," said the judge said, who said Sonier was operating with a somewhat reduced capacity.
However, he added that she had no regard for the safety of the pharmacists, who work in a business that helps the health and safety of the community.
The sentence included a $300 victim surcharge and a 10-year weapons prohibition. Sonier must also submit a DNA sample.

All Guns
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
This .22 gets loads of 'cool points' at the range:)
Adjustable wire stock, 20 round magazine, fake flash suppressor, this little plinker is guaranteed to make your neighbors think you're dangerous, until you shoot it and they realize it's a .22.
I have test-fired it, and everything works, but you have to jiggle the stock to make it lock in the extended position. It's more fun collapsed anyway.
This thing needs a good cleaning, but it comes apart like an old Mossberg simply by unscrewing the cap at the rear of the receiver. The bolt and springs slide right out for easy access.
Everything is in good shape except for the scratches on the receiver where the stock scrapes.
The bottom of the pistol grip has a trapdoor opening into a small compartment for extra ammo or a boresnake.
If you have any questions, please ask _before_ you bid.
This gun is also for sale locally, so if you want it, bid early and I will put it back. I will end the auction early if someone here in town wants it.
I don't have an FFL, so be sure that your guy will take a shipment from an average citizen. If you want me to go through an FFL on my end, there will be an additional $20.00 charge to cover my dealer's fees for the transfer.
I will be glad to include a picture of my ID with the gun.
Shipping will be $20.00 CONUS, Alaska and Hawaii will be more.
Thanks for looking.
P.S. I was just kidding about scaring your neighbors...don't be a jackass because that just makes it hard on all of us who own guns.

Respondents: Certificated domestic all-cargo carriers.
Number of Respondents: 3 domestic all-cargo carriers.
Total Annual Burden: 12 hours.
Needs and Uses: Form 291-A financial data are reviewed in connection with an air carrier's operations when concerns arise as to a carrier's financial condition as evidenced by reported losses and delinquency in payments to creditors. Data comparisons are made between current and past periods in order to assess the current financial positions. Financial trend lines are extended into the future to evaluate the continued viability of the carrier.
When an all-cargo carrier wishes to extend its operation to passenger service, the carrier's prior Form 291-A filings are examined as a source document to help determine the carrier's financial condition.
FAA's Safety Indicators Division is developing an integrated approach to exposure data (Form 291-A is a part of this data) in the aviation industry to support the Safety Indicators Program. FAA's National Safety Data Center is currently using Form 291-A in compiling annual year end flight hours, miles flown, and departures. Also, these activity data are used by the National Transportation Safety Board in determining the airline industry's annual safety indexes.
Commercial all-cargo activity data are used by the FAA in estimating the excise tax paid by shippers and held by the all-cargo air carriers. Although a precise tax figure cannot be computed from the Form 291-A reports (because some cargo movements are exempted from the excise tax), an estimation is possible for revenue budgeting purposes.

Student-Teacher Interaction on Facebook: What Students Find Appropriate PROCEEDINGS
Berhane Teclehaimanot, Torey Hickman, University of Toledo, United States
E-Learn: World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education, in Vancouver, Canada ISBN 978-1-880094-76-1 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
More and more adults, including faculty, are joining social networking sites such as Facebook. These sites provide teachers with new opportunities to reach their students and improve their learning. However, as faculty register and begin using Facebook, they are confronted with how they should interact with students on the site. How are teachers to know which behaviors (e.g., sending friend invitations) students would find appropriate and which behaviors students would find inappropriate? The purpose of this study is to investigate how appropriate students find student-teacher interaction on Facebook. Specifically, the study looks at which types of interactive behaviors students find more appropriate as well as where differences in opinions of appropriateness might be found (e.g., sex, class rank, age).

Luca Pacioli, known as Brother Luca, was a Franciscan monk and a mathematician. In 1497, he was invited to the court of Lodovico Sforza in Milan, where Leonardo de Vinci (1452-1519) was also in residence. The two became friends and spoke at length about mathematical theory as it applied to the application of proportion in artistic composition. It was at this time that Luca began his book De divina proportione. Leonardo provided some of the illustrations and the book was dedicated to Lodovico. In 1499, Luca and Leonardo were forced out of Milan and it was not until 1509 that their three volume work was published in Venice (volume three is an Italian translation of Piero della Francesca's Latin writings On [the] Five Regular Solids). For more information, read Ruth Mortimer's Harvard College Library Department of Printing and Graphic Arts, catalogue of books and manuscripts, (1964, v.2, part 2, p. 499-502. GA Z881 .H346)
Divine Proportion, or the golden ratio, is the ratio a : b = b : (a + b).

Talk:John Adams
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This article is undergoing a MAJOR REWRITE. Suggest and develop ideas here, questionable ideas presented in the article itself will be deleted on sight as an attempt at retaining quality. --BlueSock 01:03, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
edit ideas
i'm thinking:
- john adams has a major inferiority complex about being the second president instead of the first. we can include subtle burns on george washington (that wooden-toothed pansy)
- otherwise, pretty encyclopedic and sticking close to his actual life, using his wikipedia page as a basis. 23:24, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I like that as a start. I'll let you start on this, and I'll flesh it out and add whatever I can. --BlueSock 23:27, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
- okay, sounds good. i've got about twenty minutes, so i'll write an intro and we can go from there. 23:35, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks for the addition of an image. --BlueSock 23:41, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
- alright, i've added the intro. it needs some revisiting, but i think i've captured the general tone and direction i think the article should take. what do you think? 23:51, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
I think it's a good start. I've gotta finish some work, but when I get back I'll polish some phrasing up a little then start to add from there.--BlueSock 00:06, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
- Same, I'll probably only have time for some slight changes.--BlueSock 00:26, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
Changed my mind on polishing your intro. It looks fine. I added a sentence and changed the caption for a picture. I'm pretty awful at captions, so change if needed. I'm going to go read over the Wikipedia articles and brainstorm. Bluesock out --BlueSock 00:56, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

I have no more reliable information than anyone else when the last newspaper will land on a Canberra lawn, but I should not be in the least surprised if it was more than a century after my death. For me that's optimism, or, rather pessimism about the capacity of the human spirit to cope with technological change - a problem with which newspaper owners, managers and journalists have been wrestling all my life, and many lives before it.
I do not resist change, and see the prospects of journalism, as a career as much as a vocation, with confidence. New technology gives those interested in what is going on in the world an array of fabulous extra tools. These plainly make good journalism better - and good journalism is good regardless of how it is conveyed to those who want it.
My journalistic life, so far, has been subsidised by advertisers who have wanted to reach the audience that newspapers reach. These are mass audiences, and quality ones who have bought newspapers as a reliable source of news affecting their lives. In recent years, as advertising has migrated to new technology, media operations have recognised that the investments they have made in assembling teams of journalists and others to produce newspapers can be also used to provide information to other mediums, in processes from which we can also derive advertising revenue. Increasingly, as the news this week about big changes in Fairfax shows, the balance is changing: the newspaper itself threatens to become an incident, perhaps not even an essential one, in our production. It is, after all, very expensive to produce: this paper you are reading today probably cost us $5 to print.
Already more than half of those who consult The Canberra Times on any given day do so via the internet or a mobile device. Some of these also buy the paper. We still deliver a mass audience - indeed a bigger one than ever - but a smaller proportion has bought it in print. Almost all of our ''readership'' growth is on line, and more and more of our resources are focused on it. A good many observers, and not a few journalists, expect that the newspaper, as we know it, will soon be a thing of the past.
Yet there's still value in newspapers, even if they must adapt. A newspaper is still quite cheap to buy, if not produce. If it costs, in real terms, about twice what it did when I was born, it now contains about three times as much material. It is still flexible and portable, recyclable, able to be separated and folded, and is particularly well adapted, compared with computer devices, for the longer read.
Just as one cannot reliably forecast the death of the book simply because there are Kindle-style devices, the fact that the ipad, 3G mobile or the computer screen can duplicate every function, and many more does not mean that some don't feel a need for something permanently in print.
But whether next year, next decade or next century, the last newspaper will probably bear little resemblance to the newspaper of today. It will probably be better, but stripped of much ephemeral material that present readers would think essential. A lot of hard news, a lot of spot news, and a lot of ''facts'', whether about politics, courts, business, sport or people will have migrated to the internet and social media, accessible to our audience in real time rather than up to 24 hours later. There will be no value in withholding information - and the tag of exclusive, so far as news is concerned, may have currency only for seconds.
For that sort of information, we will be in keen competition with supercharged broadcasters able to compete for immediacy, including with a full suite of channels and systems of access, but also any number of new media devices, some not even yet imagined, able to shout for attention in any increasingly busy bazaar already filled with noise. As now, with the internet, there will be no guarantee of reliability, accuracy or detachment about the news, views or explanations advanced. There will be some new players without the background, or resources, or even the sense of mission as existing players.
The value and immediate importance of instant news will probably drop, if not from lack of interest, but from oversupply. When one can update every few minutes, and flip from platform to platform and source to source, the currency of factoids depreciates and the slate may well clean itself in hours rather than days, in ''stories'' between editions of an old-style newspaper.
But professional specialised media organisations should be better - and better able to make money from news.
They can recognise news, and get it out quickly. Mostly, reporters are merely civilian witnesses with no rights greater than any other civilians. Reporters professionally deployed to be in places where interesting or important things happen, who understand the significance of what they see and hear, and are technically trained to send the information back for quick dissemination - should usually beat the amateurs - both with firstest and mostest.
Less important for an instant news system, but critical to a reputation as a news source, is the capacity to recognise patterns in the news, to see events in context, to understand the jargon or the shorthand of the players, to know the relevant history, and to be able to see forward to the point that one knows which other people or interests will be affected by events, and to obtain their reactions, contributions or responses. All of this involves not only the capacity to recognise news, but to analyse it and weigh its importance in relation to other items of news.
Another is to bring some sense of fairness and professionalism to a story. The diet customers expect includes expert analysis and opinion. But there is a big difference between this and advertising, propaganda, or the deliberate omission or misrepresentation of facts. Integrity and familiarity will be a selling point.
My biggest fear about the viability of big media organisations is not of their noise being drowned by the clamor of others. It is of surrender of the mass market in a belief that the ''new'' rivers of gold are to be found in almost individualised specialised markets. You can already, in effect, dial up just the sort of news and information you want; we can and will do it simultaneously for millions - probably, once we work out how, for big profits. Hitherto, however, media power has turned first and foremost on the mass in mass markets, or in the particular quality of the subset chosen.
Modern technology creates an unlimited number of specialised audiences. It will find ways of attracting and influencing the customers that advertisers want, but perhaps not so many at once.
Clever as that may be in business terms, it is not clear that it delivers media owners - or journalists - with the power and influence over public affairs they are now supposed to have. But we have yet to see how well it can deliver a mass market - and what sort of new relationships it creates between those who exercise power and those who are supposed to hold them under critical scrutiny.

Table Bay (Cavatina Sequence) - Poem by Gert Strydom
(after Matthew Arnold)
The sea lies flat like a huge lake tonight
but for the spray
that is endlessly sweeping in and out
on the white bay,
some couples walk on the beach
on holiday;
holding their hands under a yellow moon,
some bright beacons and stars will be out soon.
In the distance Table Mountain rises
its huge old bulk,
is gigantic black and flat against the sky
like a ship's hulk
where it marks the African continent;
sails of yachts sulk
as they lie limp in the windless great harbour
while tranquil people are home from labour.
Lights gleam far away at sea, are passing,
with a long lost
feeling of the great endlessness; as waves
fling, churn and toss
the hopes, fears and happiness of nations;
the great-great cost
of ending impoverishment, the ills
of vast centuries as destiny wills.
At a time faith and the will to be great,
did flow to sea,
like rivers in torrents that did rush in;
people were free
from the wars on the great black continent,
no destiny
could harass the nations, the pyramids,
that any living it now does forbid.
Like waves endlessly crushing on the beach,
and never spent
drawing back again, rushing to and thro
the sheer moment
between us has something that is lasting;
with some joys in our mutual discourse
life also flows to its ultimate course.
[Reference: 'Dover Beach' by Matthew Arnold.]

The rich get richer and everybody else suffers. The tax code must be radically revised so the top 1% pay the same tax as their secretaries. If capital gains were taxed at the same rate as labor, we'd have hundreds of billions in additional revenue (Joseph Stiglitz). Prof. Piketty explains that the rigged system has continued for centuries. Return on capital exceeds growth of the economy.

Warren is part of the corporate machine. She chose to be. She can rail against it all she wants in order to get the Dem zombies gushing -- "she's fantastic!" etc -- but in the end, she will do just what Kucinich did: when it counts, she'll drop all of demands and hand all her delegates over to the monster who has been decided will lead the party to victory, in this case, Clinton.
Don't fall for it yet again.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the response, when we had no joy we took the switch out of the
loop just in case it was causing the problem, as it happens it's not a
managed device.
I really am stumped all I can think is there is some sort or weird
incompatbility between the eth0 on the Soekris and the Colo's switch.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

I wrote some rough notes on how I use them in this thread here.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Great stuff... thx...
i was playing with this little christmas gift (thank you) and noticed that yahoo mail avi and a few others are all picking it up as a backdoor.... would it be possible to Hex edit the .exe or something of this nature? if so does anyone know what bits must be changed? thank you for your time. and another great post. a real no sleeper for me lol. thank you agian purehate
Sure you can use msfencode and create the .pdf via the msfcli command line however those are the kinds of things I generally do not feel comfortable making tutorials on. There is lots of info on msfencode around.
I have sent email from BT4 gmail to hotmail account on XP sp2 with pdf attached ok. When I click on the attached pdf I get the following
" The file security_update.pdf is infected with an unknown virus, so it isn't safe to download "
any ideas as what next ?
The post above yours tells you what to look for.
Thanks for the excellent write up. I have been experimenting with this and it works fine on my x86 Win XP SP3 machine, but I can't get it to work with a x64 Win 7 Ultimate machine.
I have tried both these payloads:
1) windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
2) windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
I noticed that in another post you mention that this is compatible with Win 7 so I'm curious as to what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
It maybe that it is 64 bit. I dont know. Exploit stuff is always really tricky over a wide range of machines. I had a friend fire up a windows 7 vm and download my .pdf and I gain a shell on his box. It may also be that microsoft released their own patch or work around to protect users.

How do I receive the money from a reverse mortgage loan?
This depends on the type of loan, the lender you choose, and the payment option that you select.
Most reverse mortgages today are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) as part of its Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. With a HECM loan, you can receive your money in one of 3 ways: as a line of credit, in monthly installments, or a lump sum. You can also get a combination of monthly installments and a line of credit.
As of October 1, 2013, there is a cap on the amount you can take out in the first year. Your lender will calculate for you how much you are authorized to borrow overall, based on your age, the interest rate, and the value of your home. This number is known as your initial principal limit.
Generally, you can take out up to 60% of your initial principal limit in the first year. However, if the amount you owe on an existing mortgage (or other required payments) is more than 60% of your initial principal limit, you can take out enough to pay off your mortgage (and any other required payments, including upfront loan fees) plus additional cash of up to 10% of your initial principal limit. This first-year withdrawal cap applies to all 3 payout options.
The line of credit option allows you to draw on your loan at the times and amounts that you choose (subject to the first-year cap and the overall initial principal limit). You will only be charged interest on the amount of money you take out. You will not be charged interest on the money remaining in your credit line, which you can take out at a later date.
This option also features credit line growth. With a line of credit, the amount that you can borrow will increase over time. The growth applies to the unused funds remaining in your credit line. The less you take out upfront, the more you will be able to borrow later. As long as you continue to meet the requirements of your reverse mortgage, your credit line cannot be frozen or canceled.
The monthly "tenure" option allows you to receive a monthly payout from your lender for as long as you continue to live in your home.
The monthly "term" plan is a similar option, but you only receive the monthly payout for a fixed number of years. The payouts will be larger than under the "tenure" option, and you get to choose how many years you would like.
You can combine a line of credit with either the monthly tenure or monthly term payouts. The line of credit, monthly payouts, and combination options are only available with an adjustable rate loan.
With the fixed-rate, lump-sum option, you will receive your entire loan proceeds upfront and you will receive a fixed interest rate. However, you will only be able to access the amount permitted under the first-year withdrawal limits. The remaining loan amount is forfeited. This means most borrowers will not be able to borrow as much with a fixed-rate, lump-sum loan than with an adjustable-rate, line of credit or monthly payout option.
Once you have selected a payout option, you may be able to change it for a fee – as long as you haven't drawn all of your funds already.
Some lenders may offer a proprietary (non-FHA insured) reverse mortgage. If you are considering a proprietary reverse mortgage, make sure you understand your options for receiving your money, as they may differ from the options for HECM loans.
