Skip to comments.Public School Education - there is bad news and good news
Posted on 06/06/2014 2:44:18 PM PDT by BruceDeitrickPrice
The bad news is that John Deweys progressives are winning big. They mobilized every educational front group and every pedagogical gimmick to achieve the goal of controlling what goes on in the schools, as a way of achieving a fundamental transformation of America, to coin a phrase.
The educational front groups include the National Council of Teachers of Math, the Common Core Consortium, National Education Association, International Reading Association, National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, and many more. Their favorite pedagogical gimmicks include Whole Language, Reform Math, Balanced Literacy, Constructivism, Project-Based Learning, Cooperative Learning, 21st-Century Skills, and many more.
So its clearly a far-flung, intricately coordinated attack, like Hitlers military roaring into Russia during the summer of 1941. The progressives want total control so they can turn the schools into social engineering experiments. Traditional approaches will be denigrated; knowledge will be disdained. John Dewey gave the marching orders 100 years ago. Our Education Establishment probably feels it is close to total victory, thanks to all the new gimmicks contained in Common Core Standards.
So how can there possibly be any good news? Hitlers Wehrmacht could tell you. When you advance 100 miles into new territory, overrunning everything in sight, you can easily gobble up too much too fast. Him him
At some point, even the most successful invaders find they have overextended their lines and exposed their flanks to counterattack. Theres the good news.
In education, this has a peculiar form. Quite simply, the public is starting to see the comic bizarreness of it all. Everywhere people look in education they see frantic activity (and frantic spending) but nobodys learning very much. Millions of kids cant read well or do simple math. Surely, someone must be playing a prank, and the whole country is being punked.
The public watches the foolishness and rolls their eyes. What, is the circus in town? Who are all these clowns running around with their funny little cars and pratfalls?
We see the garish makeup, the big red noses, and the comedy routines. But we are no longer amused. What does this Clown Corps think its doing? How can they squander billions every day, but somehow the children get more ignorant and less literate?
Summing up, public education in America resembles a Rube Goldberg contraption with the Three Stooges operating all the levers. The good news is that the public can no longer take these people seriously, no more than the majority of the public now takes Obama seriously, and for the same reasons. The public sees the Emperor has no clothes, hes tipsy, and stumbling around in public.
Heres one way you know the Education Establishment has gone too far. More people talk casually about abolishing the Department of Education. Even a liberal professor of education agrees.
Heres another way you know. Common Core rolled over the country--altogether 45 states embraced it, thanks to lavish bribes (stimulus money repurposed as Race to the Top grants). But now most of those states are suffering buyers remorse. Indiana has pulled out. Other states will follow. Hallelujah. The sooner every state cancels Common Core, the safer the country will be.
Another way you know is that the Internet is full of videos where children are crying because they cant do their homework, parents are at meetings to denounce the failed methods used in the schools, and employers complain ever more loudly they cant find educated workers.
In fact, Our Education Establishment has been practicing the art of going too far for decades. But now the public is noticing. The election of Obama may have pushed our education commissars over the edge. Perhaps they were worried they might have only eight years, and they needed to complete their project immediately. Helter-skelter, with a rush of urgency, they had to drive out every traditional approach, terminate every old-fashioned teacher, silence every conservative voice, and banish every administrator who wasnt a complete toady. Common Corewith its top-down, same answer for every situationwas supposed to finish the job. Recall the famous World War II movie A Bridge Too Far. Our Education Establishment has committed the strategic sin of A Gimmick Too Many.
Siegfried Engelmann explains the main flaw The system adopts instructional programs and practices that have never been tried out on a small scalelike the Common Core standards. The same is true of many instructional programs. They are adopted, then tried out for the first time. That is completely backward.
The main effort is to drive content out of the school. Theyve got a dozen pretexts for doing this. After youve deleted as much content as possible, you garble whatever is left. Each year, the typical student ends up learning less than the year before. We will hear constantly about social justice, which roughly translates If everyone is mediocre, thats fairer.
All this dumbing down makes even the people in charge dumber. In the process, they make a mockery of their claim to be educators. Anti-educators is more accurate. Its time for the circus to leave town.
good news?
I pray that's true.
You really like your own material, huh?
Seems like that's all you find worthy of posting.
Are you maybe just using Free Republic to promote yourself?
which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called No Child Left Behind,
which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called Goals 2000,
which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by America 2000,
which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called A Nation at Risk,
which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nations public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.
They did blow it with Common Core. If you look at the material, it's really no different than the crap already in the schools.
But there is ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. There is a HUGE TARGET for everyone (conservatives and others) to shoot at now, and they are feeling it.
The good news is there is nothing but bad news
Yes, that's the deal. I just read today that Oklahoma canceled Common Core. Many other states are thinking about it.
If you Google these words, common core moratorium, you see there is a huge momentum in favor of putting the whole thing on the back burner until the states can figure out how to disentangle themselves from Arne Duncan and Obama.
My ideas. Of course, I'm doing everything I can to promote my ideas. I feel that if we don't save the public schools, we won't be able to save anything else. It's an urgent matter.
I don't see anybody else more out front than I am. If you see such a person, please post their articles.
Just roughly I think my combined views/reads/visits are over 2 million (not including any reads I get on Free Republic because there's no way to count those.)
I work very hard on this material. Naturally, I want people to see the ideas and talk about them. People on Free Republic have strong opinions and make very decisive comments. That's exciting.
I visit many sites and I'm on many forums. And I can tell you the amount of stupidity and criminality in the education field is vast beyond belief. I'm doing what I can to fight this. I try to encourage everyone to fight this.
"If you Google these words, common core moratorium, you see there is a huge momentum in favor of putting the whole thing on the back burner until the states can figure out how to disentangle themselves from Arne Duncan and Obama."
Reagan knew that it was NOT GOOD to have the feds involved in education, but only us conservatives believed him.
One of the only benefits from Common Core is that now MANY OTHERS are seeing his point, although they won't credit him as the visionary he was.
Though you may not know it, "punked" is a prison term. "Punked" means you were raped (in prison) by one or more gang members. Rape is a major problem in the prison system after a federal judge halted the use of saltpeter in prisoner's food. (Against their "rights".)
So yes, Americans are being "raped" by the "educational standards" scams.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Crash Bandicoot' started by G-Attack, Jan 3, 2005.
it's going well pal
BTW,I will start coming to the crash bandicoot board again
And I'll start going back to school again
Don't remember me
It's going to be awesome having you around again. Too bad you lost insider...
Meh, I have a feeling that I might post here more often if I can for the new Crash game? Did anyone seen Coco's new model? It made me go wtf did they made her eyes big for?!?
I've always liked the way Coco looks
Are you talking about the newest model like the one in Crash of the Titans?
...Or are you talking about a NEWER model that I haven't seen yet?
There's a new model that I saw on Wikipedia. A little..... odd if you ask me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_Bandicoot
I love the way Coco looks in CotT. Makes me feel like they've finally wanted her to let her hair go loose lol.
Uh...WTF DID THEY DO TO COCO?
Y'know, the old Coco we know and love? What happened?
Where's all her hair?
I guess they made a new design to get us pissed off I guess. Make me want to them for giving back the ponytails on Coco since I wanted another game for her hair to be loose. I'm with ya on this MGC. *pats back*
She looks much like a teenager now I guess she's aged throughout the
Hasn't she always been a teenager? lol
Well, what's done is done. Nothing we can do but bear through it.
I miss Naughty Dog. -_-
I missed Naughty Dog as well. If they got Crash with them, I'm sure they could make the series go uphill. Say, what about Nintendo? They could maybe try making one game to see how they go.
Sorry for the dp. I didn't see it until I went to my history.
That series has a possibility to go uphill, like the Sonic series. They have alot of work to do. If ND still had Crash, he would've been the mascot for Sony and it would've been the best up there like Mario
It's going to be awesome having you around again. Too bad you lost insider...
yea,,I lost it
Well, I'm hoping to see Crash go up sometimes soon. Maybe Mind over Mutants will give us a chance to get his games to go up maybe?
I mean, once you change the look of a legendary character as if he's a kid, you can't hope for a return. Link was okay in Wind Waker, but what if they do that to Mario and dumb him down?...[The superstar games don't count].
Yeah, I get where you're going Nike. I was hoping they could like have him keep the pants and have Coco loosen her hair again. Also, did you guys see Crunch's new design for MoM? I have the link for it right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MindOverMutantCrunch.PNG I'll say that this model of Crunch is better than CotT.
MGC, what the hell man? You just made me laugh there.
lol I found it on the Sonic CT, and it made me LOL, so I decided to share it.
Congratz for Crusher's 5,000k
Thanks Xiang. How's everybody been? Anyone starting to get kind of hyped that the new Crash game is coming out? I'm getting hyped a little bit, have no idea why. Maybe I just wanted to play as Coco again. Speaking of Crash, how would you guys feel if Crash made another party game that is a sequel to Crash Bash? I'm sure I might get it.
The adventure ones are better IMO
hey everyone, wow it's been a long time since i've been here, I haven't played any of the crash games in quite a while.
HELL YEAH! Crash bash is my favorite crash bandicoot game. I love party games, that'd be awesome if they made another one of those
OMG Crash Bash was and is my favorite PS game and Crash game ever. If a new one came out, as long as it came out for PS2 too, I would buy it.
I didn't know you came here Crusher.
I pretty sure I gave some of you a little hype for a sequel for it. Now how many characters do you think should be in there? I'm guessing possibly 16 people, and more of a 6 player game as well. I'll show you my list later and nos, Crash is my favorite videogame character of all time, with Lucario next and I don't want to see him die.
Why 6 player? You can't do 6 player for any console, can you? Or am I wrong?
I don't want him to die either. You mean Crash, right?
Crash should just have his own television cartoon show on like Cartoon Network or Fox...Probably Spyro as well. That's where I see it doing successful, instead of the games.
You can on PS2 nos. Just use two of those multi player things. I don't really thing having a show would look good on Crash if you ask me.
I actually found it weird they never had a Crash B show, but since I doubt they'll ever start one, but that's alright, the video games are great enough!
Well back before they were gonna release the racing one that was for the PSP and other consoles, they did promo "episodes" with each character [Nina, Crash, etc.] and it was humorous and very cartoon-worthy.
But now, they have to do an amazing job with their latest game or else it'll still go down that ugly path.
I'd like a Crash Bandicoot cartoon. I think it fits very well...especially nowadays.
No to Crash cartoon, for me.
O yeah Crusher, the multitaps. I didn't know you could plug one into another. Well, I guess that would make sense.
Yeah, in fact it's weird cause many other video game characters have already had their own shows (Mario, sonic, kirby, etc), so it seems kinda weird that Crash never had a show.
And Crash is an iconic character, so why not? I mean, Viva Pianta got there show, so why can't Crash, lol. It'll be like a comedy-action..Based on the dialogue in Crash of the Titans, it's possible.
i'd like to see a Crash bandiccot show. i have every game execpt for twinsanity, so i'd like to see how that would turn out.
Dude Twinsanity is like one of the best ones.
What would be so great about a show for Crash? It'd be cheesy and stupid no matter what they do.
Cheesy=Funny , seriously if they had one, it'd probably be good, not the best thing, but still pretty awesome.
Even if there was a Crash show I probably wouldn't watch it. Not that I think
a show sounds bad. I don't watch much TV
Cheesy no = Funny
whens the crash bandicoot game coming out
Some time this Fall or Winter season
About next month I believe. So tell me what systems are you guys going to get this game on? I'm going for PS2, Wii, and probably PSP. I still don't even like the idea of Crash in a tv show. Don't know why for some reason.
I only said that cartoon stuff, because it's like a trend...Kirby, Sonic, TMNT, etc.
As for the Next Crash game, I'll get it for PSP because it's not worth the $50.
What's the next one called?
The next Crash game is called Crash: Mind over Mutant and it's coming out on October 7th which is only in another few weeks.
Oh, I thought that one was already out.
Nope, it's not. If u search for it, it'll say it's not out yet till Oct 7th, but there are a few teaser trialers for it.

Aortic stenosis (AS) predominantly affects the elderly population and is increasingly recognised as a heterogeneous syndrome with variable and non-specific symptom response. Patients may have "discordant" echocardiographic markers of severity, so clear categorisation of their disease state is challenging. Furthermore, co-morbidities are frequent and further confound the clinical picture.
In an attempt to reduce selection bias associated with studies from specialist centres, this community cohort study followed patients with AS diagnosed between 1988 and 1997 in Olmsted County, US. Primary and secondary end points were survival after diagnosis under medical management and development of heart failure, respectively. 360 patients (mean age 74±14 years, 44% male) with at least mild AS and mean ejection fraction 60±13% were divided according to their aortic valve area (AVA) derived by continuity equation, into mild (>1.5cm2), moderate (1–1.5cm2) and severe stenosis (<1cm2), irrespective of trans-valve gradient. Over a follow up period of 7.5±4.2 years the authors assessed factors related to survival. Impressively, follow up data were available in all but one patient. An AVA <1cm2 was associated with reduced 5- and 8-year survival in comparison with an AVA 1.0-1.5cm2 (40±8 vs. 73±3%, 18±6 vs. 54±4%) and increased frequency of the development of heart failure, and was the only independent predictor of survival (p <0.01). The need for aortic valve replacement (AVR) over follow up varied as follows: AVA<1cm2 45%; AVA 1-1.5cm2 33%; AVA>1.5cm2 34%. Importantly, symptoms were also present in two thirds of those who did not undergo surgery for a variety of reasons: AS not judged severe (56%); too old (24%); equivocal symptoms (43%); patient declined (20%); physician choice (20%).
The study confirms that severe AS is under-recognised and under-treated but has important limitations. Defining AS using the continuity equation is prone to error and the equipment used today has superior definition to that used at the time of enrolment. However, the data reflect "real world" practice and the substantial difficulties faced in assessing AS in elderly patients. The paper re-emphasises the need to improve symptom assessment and objective parameters of exercise capacity in patients with AS and highlights the poor prognosis of those with an AVA <1cm2.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Hi I'm Jazzy! I sure love my people, I give the best kisses and have tons to give! I sure love kids and love playing with my toys. I love my foster dog brothers and sisters, but sometimes I'm unsure about making new friends on a leash at first. My foster mommy tells me that I have something wrong in my back that I might have been born with and it makes my back legs feel wobbly sometimes. But it doesn't bother me at all, I walk, run, jump on the couch and chase squirrels! I have learned to live with my disability and can do almost everything the other dogs can! I sure hope someone can love me for the special girl I am because I have lots of love to give! I'm sure to be the most joyful girl you'll meet, are you my new mommy?
Jazzy, a Dallas Boston Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier for sale in Dallas, or seeking a Boston Terrier dog from a breeder in Dallas.

Anna ? was a grand-daughter of Piotr Dzyban.
Anna lived in Poland.
Relationship to Piotr DzybanEdit
As an elderly woman, her name was Anna Konior. If Anna never married, then Konior must have been her maiden name, and therefore, her mother must have been a Dzyban (and her father was a Konior). If Anna was married or widowed, then either her father or mother could have been a Dzyban, depending on her maiden name.

You've been working for weeks or months on a winning piece of graphic design. You've thought it over carefully, deploying every skill you learnt while studying and working as a designer. After long consideration, the project's done and you submit it to the client. You look forward to their reaction, but then you hear the message every professional designer dreads: "I've got a few suggestions to make..."
The phrase 'design by committee', where lots of people chip in on an idea (often without any reason or authority), is a situation no creative director wants to find themselves in. It results in an original, eye-catching design losing its impact, becoming generic, and costing everyone a lot of time.
Sometimes the best thing to do in situations like this is laugh, and that's exactly what the team at have done. Running with an idea originally posted on Twitter by , this series of images imagines how nightmare clients could ruin iconic and effective pieces of design. The scariest part? It's very easy to imagine this happening in real life.

text: PLEASANTON, Calif., March 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Systems America, Inc. (OTC:SYAI) ("Systems America" or the "Company"), a premier provider of cloud computing and information technology solutions, is pleased to announce that it has changed its corporate name to Cloudeeva, Inc. ("Cloudeeva") or the "Company"). The Company will also apply for a new ticker symbol with FINRA that will be announced shortly and is currently in process of launching a new corporate website at http://www.cloudeeva.com . The new name reflects the Company's increasing focus on providing cloud-enabled information technology and consulting services that enable organizations to fully leverage the potential of Cloud, Mobility, Infrastructure Management, Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing and Big Data to advance their operational and strategic objectives. "Cloud computing is driving a new cycle of investment in information technology as enterprises seek to capture the benefits of reduced infrastructure, software and maintenance costs coupled with advances in business intelligence and mobile computing," said Adesh Tyagi, Chairman & CEO of Cloudeeva. "Spending on cloud computing increased by 20% in 2012 to $109 billion, according to Gartner, and increasingly customers are interested in an integrated approach to help them achieve the greatest return on that investment." "Industry giants including Amazon Web Services, Rackspace and Verizon Terremark are offering enterprise solutions as a whole new paradigm as to how to store and access data. Cloud-enabled software models including those from Concur Technologies, IBM Cloudburst, Salesforce.com, Oracle Taleo Cloud Service and Workday are transforming the way in which companies access critical business data while dramatically reducing software and maintenance costs," continued Adesh Tyagi. "Our new name, Cloudeeva, consists of two discrete words. The 'cloud' portion reflects our growing expertise in cloud computing and connectivity, a huge market and one where we are uniquely positioned. 'Deeva' is a mythological term that means 'celestial' or 'shining'. When we put the two words together, it conveys our intent to illuminate the cloud space for our customers and to do so with genuine passion," continued Adesh Tyagi.

My sarcasm is so thick you can tangibly use a butter knife to cut it... I enjoy destroying other people's common expressions and taking them literally, just to set them off balance. I can find anything funny, and usually do. I can also be very abrasive, though I do like cuddling and other such oddities.
I'm a double edged sword, I might come off as not interested or lax but I hardly ever miss slight details (call it a compulsion I suppose). My patience is unlimited but I can't stand hypocrisy in any way, shape, or form. Also, I'm slightly crazy, in a good way? :)
Downside is, I get bored of it quickly and move onto something new.
Movies? Way too many.
Music: Mainly Grunge/Punk/Metal, selective rap songs/artists, scant few other genres.
Food: I am a trash compactor when it comes to this. I will eat anything... and more then once.
1) I find tattoos on women to be extremely sexy, the more the better. It's my personal bias.
2) I may not be overly romantic, however when I do care about someone, my gestures are so thoughtful that they will melt your heart... This is a fact.
I need someone who believes in equality. If there's one thing worse than a needy woman, its one that is a complete push over. That said, feminists welcome, if people were food, you feminists would be something spicy?

PHOENIX -- Remember this name: Freddy Keiaho.
As a rookie, the Indianapolis Colts' third-round choice in the 2006 draft earned a Super Bowl ring. For an encore, the former San Diego State star, who appeared in 14 games last season as a backup and special teams performer, will be counted on to earn a starting job at weakside linebacker with the defending Super Bowl champions.
That's just how things are for the Colts, a franchise that, perhaps more than any other in the league, trusts its drafts. And trusts that guys like Keiaho and other young veterans such as cornerbacks Marlin Jackson, Kelvin Hayden and Tim Jennings will be prepared to step into the lineup as seamlessly as possible, and compensate for free-agent defections.
And coach Tony Dungy said that won't change this season.
"Because of the way our team is set up, we're not going to have the luxury of making up for draft mistakes by going out and signing free agents," Dungy said at the NFL owners meetings here Tuesday morning. "We've got players like Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, Reggie Wayne guys who are among the highest paid at their positions and who take up a lot of salary cap room. So there is only so much we can do [in free agency].
"We know that we're going to have to draft well. I think part of the reason [owner] Jim Irsay and [general manager] Bill Polian were interested in me as a coach was because of what we had done in Tampa Bay. You know, playing younger guys, getting them on the field, and not being afraid to move them up into starter's roles when we needed them."
The Colts will need younger players to step up in 2007, and will need some of their recent draft choices to move into prominent roles. But it has been that way, essentially, since Dungy arrived in 2002. And the Colts and Dungy, thanks in part to underrated but savvy choices in the draft, have made it work.
Really, they've had little choice.
Because the roster includes so many high-profile players, a disproportionate share of the Colts' salary cap is distributed among an elite group of stars. That means the Colts have to fill some spots with less expensive players, and in the NFL, that typically means going young. Few teams compensate as well as Indianapolis does.
Consider the turnover Indianapolis has experienced the past five seasons at linebacker. Mike Peterson signed with Jacksonville after the 2002 season. In 2004, Marcus Washington left as an unrestricted free agent for a big deal with the Redskins. In 2006, David Thornton defected to division rival Tennessee. And this spring, Pro Bowl weakside star Cato June left the Colts for Tampa Bay.
"Just about every year," Dungy said, "we've known we had to replace somebody. And we knew we had to do it from within, with one of our own guys, and that's what we did. There was no panic. You trust that you've made good choices and that you've prepared people to play well when they get the chance."
It certainly seems like a simple philosophy, yet in the quick-fix NFL, where some teams figure they can sign a veteran free agent to fill a hole in the lineup, the approach has not been widely adopted. The presence of Polian and Dungy, and a solid if unheralded personnel staff in Indianapolis, allows the Colts to succeed at something most franchises won't even attempt anymore.
But if the Colts are to successfully defend their title, they will need to be good again at filling vacancies with young players. In addition to June's departure, cornerback Nick Harper, the team's best coverage defender, signed with the Titans. That means one of the three high-round, young cornerbacks on the roster -- Jackson (No. 1 in 2005), Hayden (No. 2 in 2005) or Jennings (No. 2 in 2006) -- will have an opportunity to start.
The only question about Jackson, it seems, is whether he is better suited to cornerback or safety, and that debate has yet to be resolved. But he played well as a nickel cornerback, and his last-minute interception against New England in the AFC Championship Game sent the Colts to the Super Bowl. The suspicion is he will get the first shot at Harper's spot. Hayden also played well in the postseason, and the former college wide receiver notched an interception in the Super Bowl. Jennings missed much of his rookie campaign with an ankle injury, but is a feisty defender with terrific coverage potential.
Not surprisingly, Dungy has faith the Colts will locate a solid starter from among the three candidates. Because, as always, he has faith in Indianapolis' ability to identify and select its kind of players: young veterans who won't require an extended gestation period, and will be prepared to answer the call when it comes.
"I think we've got a pretty good track record in that regard," Dungy said. "It's the way we believe in doing things and it's worked."

The Food Emporium to Offer Gold Points Loyalty Program
DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. - The Food Emporium, a division of The Great A&P Tea Company, Montvale N.J., has said it will replace the current bonus savings club program with the Gold Points Rewards loyalty program.
DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. - In an effort to recognize and reward customers, The Food Emporium, a division of The Great A&P Tea Company, Montvale N.J., will replace the current bonus savings club program with the Gold Points Rewards loyalty program. The program will be launched this fall.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Time Warner's (TWX) 2016 third quarter results were positive amidst the election cycle, and the media company has measures in place to keep up the encouraging ratings on CNN after the election news dies down, Bloomberg News' Gerry Smith said on "Bloomberg Markets: Americas" on Wednesday afternoon.
Before today's opening bell, Time Warner reported adjusted earnings of $1.83 per share, topping estimates of $1.37 per share. Revenue rose by 9% year-over-year to $7.17 billion, higher than estimates of $6.98 billion.
The financial report was good for Time Warner as the "U.S. presidential election continues to fuel viewership and advertising in its cable news network," noted BloombergTV's David Gura.
"CNN has certainly been doing really well this year with the presidential election so the ratings have been very high," Smith said in response.
"How does CNN continue to capitalize on that or continue to keep an audience after November 8?" Gura asked. The U.S. presidential election is next Tuesday, November 8.
That's an important question to consider because when you look at past election cycles, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC have seen "big rating spikes" that are hard to maintain in the post-election period, Smith noted. However, CNN has been investing more in its digital presence, as well as in original content, such as the travel and culture show "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown."
"The strategy there is to sort of minimize the ups and downs in the ratings, which depend a lot on what news is popping at the moment" he explained. "It's going to be difficult for them to maintain that momentum but they certainly have some strategies in place."

Love means never having to say you're sorry in The Tennessean.
But Titans cornerback Pacman Jones hasn't felt the love since NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for the 2007 season, and that's why the troubled player took the unusual, but novel approach of apologizing in a full-page ad in his local paper Friday.
Since The Tennessean's ad department rarely fields calls from suspended cornerbacks, there may have been some awkward moments.
"Sir, we're a little tight in Sports. Is the Gardening section OK?"
And in case you're wondering, the going rate for a full-page black and white ad in Nashville's newspaper of record is $11,535.30, although The Tennessean hasn't disclosed what it charged Jones.
Now, I don't have a sales background, but I'm thinking Thursday would've been a good day for a rate hike. It's not like Pacman had much leverage.
Why not encourage him to write a four-part apology?
"I need to re-organize my priorities," Jones wrote in the letter. "As a grown man and a new father, my first priority is my daughter and family. Second, I have to not only meet the expectations of my coaches, teammates and fans, but exceed them in every respect, on and off the field."
The silver lining for Jones is that those expectations shouldn't be unreasonably high.
Commissioner Goodell has left the door open for Jones' return after 10 games, if he meets a long list of requirements, which include staying away from "adverse" involvement with police and not leaving his bedroom for a few months.
If you're keeping score, Jones has now had 10 "adverse" experiences with police since being drafted No. 6 overall in the 2005 draft. But the good news is that, according to his attorney, Jones wrote the letter from his heart.
And honestly, isn't that all Tennessean subscribers can ask for?
Now, let's engage in another important mailbag session:
Michael Ulrich of San Francisco: "Love the articles you've been writing about the draft. Loved the one that included the John Wayne story. Can't wait for draft day. I live in San Francisco, so me and my friends get up early, make Bloody Marys and bet on nearly every pick. Anyway, what do you think the Raiders are going to do? Oh, and looking forward to your mock draft."
Mosley: Michael, thanks for the kind words. And I know people you can talk to.
Regarding your Raiders question, a club source told me Thursday that the team hasn't narrowed it down to LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell and Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson. That said, I still think they'll take Russell. What they're hoping is that Tampa Bay is so desperate for Johnson that it's willing to trade up for him.
One of my friends on the ESPN TV side with a red mustache will be all over this situation next Saturday in Oakland.
Steve D. in Jackson, Miss. with the obligatory Cowboys question: Matt, have you confirmed with Jerry Jones who the Cowboys will select at No. 22? And how much say will Wade Phillips have?
Mosley: Steve, Jerry usually waits until the Friday before the draft to fill me in, but I do have a general idea of what he's planning to do. Unless someone falls into their laps, the Cowboys will attempt to trade out of the first round and secure another pick in the second. There's a feeling across the league that the talent in the first round starts to fall dramatically about halfway through, and that's why Jones will probably be looking for a trading partner.
In recent weeks, the club has zeroed in on Miami safety Brandon Meriweather and Purdue defensive end/linebacker Anthony Spencer. Several former Big 10 offensive linemen have told the Cowboys that Spencer was the toughest player they had to block. The reason he might be available early in the second round is that he didn't have much production until his senior season, when he had 10½ sacks.
DeMarcus Ware and an aging Greg Ellis are the Cowboys' only consistent pass-rushers, so Phillips could use Spencer. And don't rule out Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss, who could be converted to linebacker. Jones loves signing local kids, and Moss played at nearby Denton Ryan High School.
Phillips has had a strong voice in the meetings leading up to the draft. He won't have nearly as much control as Bill Parcells had, but I think he'll have more input than a lot of people think.
William from Nashville: Will the Titans take Robert Meachem because of the Vols connection, or do they take a cornerback?
Mosley: Meachem was in San Francisco (11th pick) on Thursday and he's also been to Buffalo (12) and St. Louis (13) in recent days. If he and Ted Ginn Jr. are still on the board when the Titans pick at 19, Ginn's ability in the return game could be the difference.
Pittsburgh cornerback Darrelle Revis could also be a possibility for the Titans, who will be missing a certain cornerback this season.
Shad in Lorena, Texas: Matt, do you think Omar Epps is one of the finest character actors of our generation?
Mosley: Shad, take the word "character" out of that sentence and you're on the money. Epps' turn as running back Darnell Jefferson in The Program still resonates 14 years later. His total command of the screen made it difficult for his love interest (Halle Berry as Autumn Haley) to make much of an impact.
With the success of The Program, Epps became much more selective. If you're not familiar with his 1996 film "Don't be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood," please proceed to your nearest independent film store.
Epps is currently one of the stars of Fox's hit TV show, House, which is the best thing not on HBO.
Let's do this again sometime.

Telr Announces CFO and Co-Founder set to take payment gateway industry by storm
Reveals Key Partnership giving SME's Bold New Opportunities in the Region
Within a few short months of announcing its launch in March '14, Telr, the multi-currency and multi-lingual payment gateway for SMEs, has rapidly boost its credentials through collaborations with strong incumbents in the business. Telr will leverage on this deal to change the online and mobile payments industry through its three pillars of payment gateway, unified logistics and payment APIs, and cash management solutions.
"The combination of right partners, right technology, right funding, unique value proposition and strong team will set Telr apart and give us an unmatched kick start in the UAE first and across all emerging markets later on," says Elias Ghanem, CEO and Co-Founder of Telr. "Telr's ambition to revolutionize the payment gateway landscape across all emerging markets has attracted the right talents to Telr and Aramex to partner with us. I am very proud and happy to welcome Sirish Kumar, our new CFO on board and honoured by Aramex support in this early stage of our new adventure"
Sirish Kumar has joined the Telr team as CFO and Co-Founder. Sirish brings an exceptional track record in financing solutions, building strategic partnerships and Mergers & Acquisitions, acquired in his years in Motorola, Nokia and Cargill. Sirish was the former Head of Finance of PayPal South East Asia and India. "The Telr venture perfectly matches my desire to build a new venture from scratch and help revolutionize the eCommerce landscape. The Telr ambition to solve three key fundamental challenges to any e-commerce player in emerging markets resonated very well with me and made me transition from the corporate world to this new exciting journey. I strongly believe that with the right people, technical solutions and partners, Telr will significantly impact the industry. I look forward to contributing to Telr's success", said Kumar, CFO and Co-Founder of Telr.
With the core team and right partnership in place, Telr is able to offer a three-pillar value proposition for merchants utilizing its service.
First, Telr will focus on providing convenience through its secure multi-lingual and multi-currency payment gateway.
Second, Telr merchants will have peace of mind with seamless transactions through the unified logistics and payment API.
Third, to help with cash flow issues that plague all businesses, merchants may request for a cash advance on their transactions to boost their growth.
Partnering with a comprehensive logistics solution firm like Aramex is a huge win for Telr. As the e-Commerce market heats up, Telr will be able to rely on preferred services to be offered to its customers. The biggest value added to the merchants will undoubtedly come from the unified payment and logistics APIs integration solution that Telr will be offering to its customer base.

Once I became grad chair, the opportunities to apologize became more numerous, because not only did I have a lot more opportunity to make mistakes, and I have made plenty, I also had to enforce a lot of rules and make a lot of decisions that invariably made at least some people unhappy.
There are three kinds of apologies I have heard myself and others make, in leadership roles:
- Apologizing for mistakes is a leader thing to do: it shows responsibility and humility at once. While it would be better not to make the mistake at all, if you make it once, just own it: "I'm sorry none of this paperwork made it to your office by the deadline. I didn't realize how much time it would take me to process them on our end, and that was my error."
- Apologizing for making decisions is a not-leader thing to do. It undermines confidence in your leadership: "I'm sorry that you have to serve on that committee in the spring" makes it sound like not even you think it's a good idea.
- Apologizing for someone else's behaviour and/or the consequences of that behaviour is even worse, and plays into the mommy or nurturer stereotype many people seem to expect from women. It also makes you look like a pushover. "I'm sorry, but you failed the exam" makes it sound like the failure is your own, for example.
We should all continue to cultivate the practice of Apology Number One: a heartfelt "sorry" and commitment to not make that mistake again is a learning opportunity and a relationship-builder. Or at least a relationship-mender, in cases of serious blunders. The trick here is to make the sorry unequivocal and clear. In my example above, I avoided the "I'm sorry ... but ... " formulation that says, basically, "I know I have to say 'sorry' but it actually wasn't my fault." A more egregious failure of category one apologies comes in the form of "I'm sorry ... if ..." as in "I'm sorry if some found my language offensive," because that lays the ultimate responsibility for the people choosing to be offended instead of at your own feet, for saying something insensitive.
Apologies Number Two and Three are deadly, though, and we must stop with that. Luckily, I have some suggestions that keep the empathy and kindness I think we're all aiming for when we apologize in those ways, without actually apologizing.
Make Decisions Without Expressing Regret!
If you have decided something, say so without regret or equivocation. "I'm sorry, but our meetings must take place on Friday afternoons" sets people up to complain. This is better: "Our meetings have all been scheduled for Friday afternoons this term. We are a big committee, with many obligations, and that time slot is the only one in which all of us are free to attend." Here, I just took the sorry right out. If you want to empathize, you could add, "I know it's not your preferred time-slot--it's not mine, either!"
If you have decided something unpopular, the tendency to apologize to the inevitable complainants will be near overwhelming. I suggest giving structural context but no apologies. Let's say you have to assign someone to teach at 8:30 in the morning, and they ask to change to 9:00 or 9:30 or 10:00 or anything and you say no. Don't apologize. Briefly explain why: "The registrar's office mandates class timeslots. Start times for graduate courses are 8:30am, 11:30am, 2:30pm and 5:30pm. So your class time cannot be shifted for that reason, and even if we arranged such a thing informally, it would conflict with the courses starting at 11:30, thus diminishing student choice, and, potentially, the enrolment in your own course." It is an advanced manoeuvre to give the right amount of context, but not too much. Overexplaining is simply another version of apologizing and undermining your own authority.
If someone asks you to do something, like an invited talk, or a workshop or some such, and you have the feeling that you are supposed to feel honoured AND that saying no would mean that person has to go back to the drawing board to find someone else, you can still say no without regret. The word you want here is "unfortunately." The word "unfortunately" is a magical world. It suggests bad luck, without agent or transitivity. "Unfortunately, I will not be able to accept your invitation, owing to constraints on my schedule. Thank you for thinking of me." Not sorry. You did nothing wrong in turning down discretionary work.
Do Not Apologize for Being the Bearer of Bad News
I deliver a surprising amount of bad news: no, you can't have that transfer credit; no, I cannot sign that course override; no, you cannot graduate without the language requirement milestone; no, your dissertation is not ready to defend; no, you did not win that scholarship; no, you did not receive admission to the program.
In some these cases, I'm just the decider of something: like transfer credits, or course overrides. These are actually category two situations.
The harder cases are when you have to hold someone to account for their own failings. It is crucial not to apologize here--that can give false hope, or inculcate a sense of grievance that will lead to the filing of a grievance. It is possible to deliver bad news with empathy, but without apology. If someone has failed an exam: don't apologize. If someone has been caught plagiarizing: don't apologize. If someone has failed to hold office hours for an entire term and needs to be disciplined: don't apologize.
Here are the phrases you need: "I understand this is not the news you were hoping for," "I understand this is unexpected," "I am sure this is distressing to hear," "I imagine you must be upset by this news."
Some more phrases: "If you need some time to think about this, we can meet at another time," or "Here is a Kleenex," or "This might be a lot to take in, please feel welcome to ask me questions about what comes next."
Also important: be quiet and wait for the person to say something. Sometimes an awkward but empathetic silence is better than rushing in with a bunch of words while someone's head is reeling. The key is to be clear and direct with the bad news and the consequence if there is one, while expressing a sensitivity to the recipient's likely distress.
In conclusion
We apologize sometimes from empathy, sometimes from insecurity, and sometimes from a squeamishness about our own decisions. Unless you've made a mistake, though, there are better ways to express kindness and understanding, more productive ways, than saying "sorry."
I've been really kicking my non-apologies into high gear since I've had to make so many decisions and enforce so many rules in my administrative role. But the same rules apply to being asked to serve on committees, or to perform service or volunteer work, or to give a talk or a workshop.
Do you apologize more than you want to? Do you have strategies to help with that? I'd love to hear them.

Affiliate Marketing Software
Affiliate Marketing or Online Marketing is a popular method of promoting web businesses in which an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts. It is a modern variation of the practice of paying finder's commision for the introduction of new clients to a business. Compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit (Pay-per-click), registrant (Pay-per-lead), or a commission for each customer or sale (Pay-per-Sale).The most attractive aspect of affiliate marketing, from the merchant's viewpoint, is that no payment is due to an affiliate until results are realized. Affiliate marketing software is what you use to coordinate your promotion brand and yourself on the internet, and it will also monitor your sales and commissions, handle your payout system and your online promotion initiatives, among the many other important details involved in on the online promotion. With a good affiliate software both the website owner and the visitor will be benefitted. The website owner will be benefited from the amount of mouse clicks by an individual does when they see something on your website they like.
MLM Software
MLM Software is useful to the level that it allows individuals who are already in company or are about to be, to remain more concentrate and structured to run their company.If you have chosen that you need to punch off with your own online promotion company, there are two factors you will probably need to get your arms on, the first being a trainer, in the form of a course you can take to clearly understand the methodologies utilized by the top three percent of marketers who essentially do make 6 or 7 figure incomes a year. Mainly MLM Software will based on MLM Plans. There are so many MLM Compensation Plans in MLM field. We can select any type of compensation plan from unilevel, binary, matrix, breakaway to hybrid pay plans create by using MLM Software.
MLM software – network marketing software explains the tools to manage and arrange mlm records. Generally MLM plans are web-based and simple to use, MLM Programs are Easy, reliable and simple to function. MLM Software has Versatile personalization available within a short time period. As with any industry that include many individuals, multilevel promotions has seen the increase of application designers who target the many individuals involved in MLM. With the large amount of options in MLM application out there already, how do you choose the one that is right for your needs? It's important to not only find the application that best fits your needs, but also the right application company as well. One of the basic principles of multi-level marketing, or MLM, is to invest as little as possible on handling your possibly an incredible number of associates. The MLM marketing should be complicated enough to handle payments, submission, confirming and every other specialized aspect of the business, but easier than you think that your efforts and effort using the system is little. After all, you don't generate income with MLM working with the bookkeeping, you need a system that allows you to invest as plenty of your energy and effort as possible in the promotion and advertising of your system, not in fine-tuning specialized details.
The affiliate software and MLM Software addresses 3 key components that we all need to be profitable online.
#1. Site creation – Without a website, or a blog we are virtually dead in the water. MLM allows members who purchase this software to create pages full of content embedded with the affiliate links of your choosing with just a few clicks of your mouse. You can add video's, content, rss feeds, it is really up to you. Your content page can be created in under a minute automatically. But it is really up to you on how much time you want to spend messing around with your new site.
#2. Generating Traffic – This is the good part because without traffic none of us make money. Internet traffic is the lifeblood of any online business! MLM is based on sharing content. Facebook and all the other social networking players are out there making a lot of money by simply sharing our content? Mass income multiplier flips the switch and puts the ball in your court so you can make the money.
By using the MLM affiliate software your content will be shared in a huge network of thousands of users. The traffic to your content pages that you have made by using the Mass Income Multiplier software will go viral. Viral means spread by other people across the internet ( A great way to get a lot of targeted free traffic )
Backlinks will be built automatically so your site will get a nice boost in the search engines for even more free targeted traffic. You can also take advantage of the big social networking sites sharing features like Facebook's like button, Twitter's tweet this button, Stumbleupon, Digg, Tumblr, and all the other major social networking and bookmarking players.
In the end you are the one who makes the money from your content being shared. This is why this software was developed. To make everyone more money online!
#3. Building A List – I always stress to the readers of my blog that the real money that is made online is in list building. Mass Income Multiplier affiliate software comes ready to make your list building efforts a breeze. If you're a beginner to list building you are going to love this feature! Save money by using the MLM software to collect leads, build your list, and make money. Leads are collected automatically from your content pages so this is a real cool feature.
Multi Level Marketing and Affiliate Marketing rely on powerful MLM software that can track referrals, commissions, and other statistics related to the MLM Business model. Companies that do not have the best MLM Software are not going to succeed, period. When you are dealing with Multi Level payment levels, multi level referral commissions, and a huge network of affiliates, your MLM Software has to be up for the challenge.

Imagine having one of the most beautiful faces in the world—one that has been plastered upon countless movie screens, billboards, and magazine pages over the years—and looking into the mirror one day to see that that unfairly symmetrical visage of yours is finally beginning to sag and wrinkle, just like the rest of them. During a new interview with Shape, Sharon Stone, 55, discusses how she handled this unfavorable milestone last decade.
There was a point in my 40s where I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, "I'm not coming out until I can totally accept the way I look right now."
And I examined my face in the magnifying mirror, and I looked at my body, and I cried and cried and cried. Then I said to myself, "You're going to get old now. How do you want to do that?"
And I thought, "I'd like to age like a dancer." I want to keep my body in shape like that. I want to do the work. I like to dance and stretch. And I like going to the gym.
Although the circumstances of her situation may not be relatable, her aging-phobic sentiments are. In addition to divulging this memory, Stone also shares her steak-heavy diet with the magazine and a tip about alcohol consumption: "I used to love wine, but I don't drink at all now. I think, at a certain point, it's better for women not to have any alcohol because it can make your face, breasts, and midsection get very bloated." But perhaps the biggest takeaway of the story has nothing to do with aging and diets—perhaps it has to do with magnifying mirrors. If those evil reflective devices can drive Sharon Stone to an appearance-related breakdown that necessitates binge-drinking, maybe we should save ourselves from future imperfection-magnifying agony and throw ours out now.

Peter Williams at speed in the 1973 F750 TT. He almost broke Mike Hailwood's lap record.
Back in 1973 Peter Williams signs a magazine for a race fan, on the tank of his TT-winning John player Norton.
As more records fall each year at the Isle of Man TT and John McGuiness inches closer to Joey Dunlop's outright record of 26 wins, one record set 40 years ago remains untouched. In the 1973 F750 race, Peter Williams took a Norton that he had designed to the top step of the podium, surely a unique achievement.
Just as remarkable was the bike itself, which featured a twin-spar monocoque frame and gave Norton their first TT victory in 12 years. Williams lapped at 107.27 mph, which was just under the outright lap set by TT legend Mike Hailwood six years earlier in 1967 on a Honda. When you consider that Hailwood was on a multi-cylinder machine and Williams on a bike powered by a push-rod Norton Commando engine, it gives some idea of his riding ability.
Peter Williams was born into the motorcycle world, his father being the renowned Jack Williams, a designer most closely linked with Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) race department. Peter followed in his father's footsteps and trained in mechanical engineering. He was responsible for many innovations, such as alloy wheels and disc brakes, when not riding the race bikes he was helping to design.
Despite his studious appearance, Williams knew how to get the best out of a bike on the track, finishing fourth in the 1967 world championship, on a Matchless. He had many wins and podium finishes, including the 500cc British Championship in 1970, and probably would have had a lot more, but his career was cut short by a devastating crash at Oulton Park in 1974 which left him unable to ride.
Despite this, Williams continued to be involved with motorcycles and was involved in the development of a carbon-fibre monocoque superbike, when working for Lotus cars. He also designed an electric powered racing bike, aimed at the TTXGP Zero Emissions race at the Isle of Man TT, and has a number of motorcycle frame and engine design patents.
After working for the new Norton concern at Donington, Williams set up Peter Williams Motorcycles Ltd. in conjunction with Greg Taylor of motorcycle engineering firm GTME and Mark Wells & Ian Wride of design consultancy Xenophya Design.
Their first project is a replica of his 1973 F750 TT-winning John Player Norton. Just 25 of the monocoque Commandos will be built and will cost purchasers £65,000, which may sound expensive until you consider that an original would likely cost more than £250,000.
Only four original JPNs were built and you wouldn't want to run one in anger now, even if you could. However the new bike can be used without the risk of damaging a piece of history. PWM hope that the first of the monocoque replicas will be ready for production in 2013, the 40th anniversary of Williams' epic Isle of Man win.
The original monocoques incorporated the fuel tank into the stainless steel chassis, and took 12 man-weeks to build. But thanks to modern CAD design and CNC laser cutters, this time will be dramatically cut and improve the accuracy of the process. Norton specialist Mick Hemmings will build the engines with all new parts, including a new cam design from Peter.
The new bikes will use unique cast magnesium wheels and forks, created from the original '70s drawings and where these have been lost, original bikes have been used as a reference point for the rest of the components.
The JPN project isn't just a nostalgic celebration of the 40th anniversary of Williams' historic win, but also to raise working capital for his pet project – a modern motorcycle with a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. As mentioned earlier, he produced the first prototype in conjunction with Lotus some years ago. Development is now well underway of a new model for low-volume production.
Speaking at the launch of the project Williams said: "Working with the team brought fresh ideas and a different perspective on how to make the monocoque chassis motorcycle project a reality. Starting with the replicas of my 1973 TT-winning bike, we will show investors what we are capable of, and present collectors and enthusiasts with a unique opportunity. We already have a number of interested purchasers. The 'designed for manufacture' version will be of equal elegance and efficient function as the original JPN monocoque. As soon as we receive firm orders, we can press the button and create the new bikes."
Purists are bound to be interested in this project. British bike fans will no doubt celebrate the fact that Ian Mackman and Daniel Hegarty finished the prestigious Senior TT last week (with Mackman netting a bronze replica for his 24th place), many consider the Aprilia-engined Nortons to be imposters. One should never forget that Norton's first win at the TT was Peugeot-powered, but the new Williams' machine will be totally British.

Minerals, Health & Weight Loss
The average Western diet contains slightly less than the recommended daily allowance of Calcium, so some deficiency is quite common, especially among post-menopausal women. Calcium is the major constituent of bone and tooth material, so we need more of it than any other mineral. The average human body contains more than 1 kilo of calcium and about 1g a day is required to maintain that level. Dairy products like milk and hard cheese - especially the lower-fat varieties - are good sources of calcium. Tinned sardines are also good.
WEIGHT LOSS Good sources of Calcium include
Milk, cheddar cheese, sardines, free range eggs, leafy green vegetables.
A glass of low fat milk, a low fat yogurt and 2oz of lower fat cheese provides the average person with the Calcium they need.
WEIGHT LOSS How Calcium helps
Helps maintain strong bones and teeth
WEIGHT LOSS Calcium deficiency symptoms
Weak bones and teeth.
WEIGHT LOSS Recommended daily allowance for Calcium
