State issues school grades; Superintendent Avossa, District leaders remain concerned with FSA
WEST PALM BEACH – The Florida Department of Education released school grades for the 2014-15 school year on Friday, but Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa, Ed.D., said parents and the community should use caution in reviewing those results.
"I am a proponent of accountability, but urge caution in viewing these grades as anything but a baseline for our students, teachers and staff to build upon for next year," Dr. Avossa said. "Given the problems that many of our schools faced with the Florida Standards Assessment last year, we should not rush to judgment. We should celebrate our high-performing schools and students, and continue to work with those who need extra help."
School grades are based in part on the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA), given for the first time in 2015 to students in third through tenth grade. The FSA's rollout was troubled, including problems with the administration of computer-based tests and questions about the alignment of Florida's standards with what appeared on the tests.
The grades also do not reflect students' learning gains in reading or mathematics. Learning gains are the amount of growth a student has made from one year to the next in a particular subject. For the first time since 2002, the state is not incorporating learning gains in the calculation.
Overall, 72 of District-operated schools were A-rated and 18 received B's from the state. The School District of Palm Beach County also received an A grade from the state, and was the highest performing district of all the large school districts in Florida. A full list of District-operated and charter schools and their assigned grades is available online.
Among the schools that showed improvement: Citrus Cove Elementary School, which moved from a B in 2013-14 to an A in 2014-15; Indian Pines Elementary School, which moved from a D to a C; Palm Springs Elementary School, which moved from a D to a C; Pioneer Park Elementary, which moved from an F to a D; Wellington Elementary, which moved from a B to an A; Bear Lakes Middle, which moved from a D to a C; John F. Kennedy Middle School, which moved from an F to a C; and Woodlands Middle School, which moved from a B to an A.

Take a SMART approach with compressed air leaks
Setting specific objectives
Every successful project starts by setting specific expectations and desired outcomes. Defining specific goals at the beginning of the leak management process will help ensure other aspects of the project deliver desired results. To achieve energy conservation and monetary savings associated with fixing leaks, it is imperative that the project specifically state the desired outcome.
If leadership assigns a formal goal to reduce energy consumption, the project scope must state "to reduce a targeted amount of air compressor energy consumption by repairing compressed air leaks."
Measuring the impact on energy savings
Accurately defining how progress is measured has a significant impact on energy conservation and final results. Most efforts to manage or minimize compressed air leaks fail or deliver marginal results because of insufficient details regarding how progress and results will be measured and documented up front.
Depending on the significance of the compressed air savings relative to the facility's total monthly energy consumption, the most basic measurement is based on the change in the monthly electrical bill. For many systems, energy savings from repaired leaks are only a fraction of a percent of total facility power, making it difficult to pinpoint a change in energy consumption directly attributed to leaks.
Conducting a leak assessment that provides a prioritized leak list, sorted by leak volume, introduces another level of accuracy. Using the prioritized list, maintenance personnel can focus on the larger, most accessible leaks first, and then work their way down the list until achieving the desired reduction in air volume. This facilitates more efficient use of maintenance personnel since they do not waste time hunting all leaks.
A leak assessment process that incorporates a before-and-after measurement of repaired leaks validates that leaks are repaired properly and compressed air demand is reduced.
The level of accuracy relative to hard savings increases with the measurement detail. Since the objective is energy conservation, another option is to measure compressor operation before and after leak repair. This can be accomplished with online/offline compressors by simply recording loaded, unloaded, and running hours per week for several weeks before and after repairing leaks. A reduction in loaded hours represents energy conserved. To improve the accuracy of energy reduction results, conduct a non-intrusive compressor assessment and summary of compressed air and energy consumption before and after leak repair. Many organizations provide simple compressor energy assessments for a reasonable cost or include it within their contractual service agreements.
Ideally, leak repair should be part of an ongoing effort to sustain and improve compressed air system efficiency, not a periodic event. To maintain operating efficiency, a facility must have sufficient instrumentation and trended data to establish a baseline associated with compressed air demand and energy consumption.
Expectations can be defined based on established performance metrics or performance indicators. This level of detail includes kW, flow, and pressure instrumentation for the compressed air system, and the ability to summarize and analyze system performance.
Some systems trend flow data at the sub-header or production cell level, so total leak volumes can be pinpointed for specific areas. This level of detail is limited to facilities with resources committed to operational excellence and best-in-class performance. For most systems, instrumentation is limited to hours and pressure from the compressor control panel and an assortment of pressure gauges of varying quality. A plethora of measurement methods can be applied with level of accuracy being a function of complexity and cost.
It is important to note that a reduction in compressed air demand can only influence compressed air power consumption. The largest error made when attacking leaks is assuming that a system consumes 0.18kW/scfm and every 100 scfm of leaks repaired will reduce power 18kW. Depending on the installed compressors and how they operate as a system relative to production demands, actual savings can be very different. There are many examples where savings can vary from several times greater to no savings at all. In some operating conditions, repairing leaks can actually increase energy consumption. This is a more complex issue potentially presented in a future article.
Armed with an increased understanding of how compressed air demand reduction and saving energy are related, repairing compressed air leaks can be part of an inferred energy savings project or an investment grade project. If there is no requirement to validate savings or directly impact the budget, then inferred savings is the easiest project.
Many large corporations are only looking at rolling averages based on total annual energy across several hundred facilities. For these situations, simplicity and cost to execute are more important than validated results. This is a reasonable approach for projects that do not require capital expenditure and are expected to deliver small returns relative to total consumption. If this is the case, the easiest measurement plan is based on number of leaks repaired.
Leveraging the statistical data provided and a simple 0.18kW/scfm conversion, every leaking FRL repaired represents a 3 scfm reduction and an annual savings of 540 kWh/1,000 hours of operation. Using an electrical rate of $0.10/kWh and a 6,000-hour year, each FRL leak repair infers a $324 savings. A measurement plan for this project could be a simple list indicating location, type of leak repaired, and how the repair was made.
Agreeing on goals
It is essential to get everyone who is involved with a leak repair project—and their direct supervisors and other company leaders—in agreement with the expectations and measurement process, in order for the project to be successful.
Many repair efforts never go beyond the leak identification stage because maintenance leaders are not accountable for—or aligned with—the project goals. Consequently, they will reallocate maintenance resources for other issues, potentially abandoning leak repair expectations over time. It is just as important to be aligned with production leaders, since many leaks require access to production areas and may require downtime to repair.
Identifying realistic goals
Engaging team members who are familiar with the facility and knowledgeable about its compressed air use will help to ensure set goals are realistic. Consulting with someone knowledgeable about the installed compressors and their control configurations will help to determine if energy savings goals and measurement plans are realistic.
Setting time-bound repair goals
Without setting project milestones and completion dates, it is easy for resources to get engaged and committed to other projects. Fixing leaks is not exciting, and any excuse is a good enough reason to put the task aside. Pick a date, allocate the time, and get it done.
Addressing leaks during routine maintenance activities
There is no magic solution to rid an industrial facility of compressed air leaks, but an increased understanding of leaks and a proven process to address them will help deliver energy savings. If addressing leaks is part of routine maintenance without a need to deliver visible energy savings, the statistical data will assist in setting simple goals with the greatest potential return.
When leak mitigating actions must deliver hard savings, following the SMART steps will help ensure desired results can be achieved and validated.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Bayer-AAFP study reveals half of America's 74 million cats are not receiving regular veterinary care
Bayer HealthCare partners with the American Association of Feline Practitioners to advance feline healthcare
Jul 22, 2013, 07:00 ET from Bayer HealthCare LLC, Animal Health Division
SHAWNEE, Kan. and HILLSBOROUGH, N.J., July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A study conducted by Bayer HealthCare, in collaboration with the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), found that more than half of the nation's cats (52 percent) had not been taken to the veterinarian within the last year for needed checkups. Because the first two years of a cat's life equal 24 years of a human's life – with each successive year equivalent to four human years – annual examinations are essential to keeping cats healthy and preventing potentially serious disease problems.1
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130722/NY50447-INFO)
The study uncovered several reasons behind this finding, ranging from how we acquire our cats and our relationships with them, to their personalities and our perceptions of the healthcare they need. These and other pet owner insights from the Bayer Veterinary Care Usage Study III: Feline Findings were presented at the American Veterinary Medical Association's Annual Convention in Chicago. This is the third phase of findings reported in a series of studies sponsored by Bayer HealthCare LLC Animal Health Division. The results were presented in partnership with the AAFP and Brakke Consulting. The study's findings are based on a nationally representative online survey of 1,938 cat owners, as well as several focus groups conducted across the U.S. Sixty percent of survey respondents were from cat-only households, while 40 percent had both cats and dogs.
"The Bayer Veterinary Care Usage Study III: Feline Findings confirms that we treat cats differently than dogs when it comes to caring for their health, in part because cats are so effective at masking signs of illness and injury," said Ian Spinks, President and General Manager, Bayer HealthCare LLC Animal Health Division, North America. "Since only half as many cats get annual check-ups as dogs, Bayer is working with the American Association of Feline Practitioners to get the word out that cats need regular veterinary care, too."
The cat found me, but didn't bring along an owner's manual
"To understand why pet owners typically are more attentive to their dogs' health needs than their cats', it is important to take a few steps back to understand how we typically acquire our cats and how we relate to them versus dogs," according to Elizabeth Colleran, DVM, MS, Dipl ABVP, owner of Chico Hospital for Cats, Chico, Calif., and past president of AAFP.
According to the study, the more engaged an individual is in selecting a new pet – especially if acquired from a breeder, pet store or shelter – the more likely the pet will receive annual check-ups. For instance, dogs, which are often purchased or adopted for hundreds or thousands of dollars, frequently have written veterinary care instructions.
However, the study found that cat acquisition is usually informal. The majority of cats – 59 percent – were acquired without prior intent, with many being lost or abandoned cats. "The cat found me" or "the cat showed up at my house" were common responses. In addition, 69 percent of cats were obtained at no cost, with little or no initial instruction on proper veterinary care. "Unfortunately, cats do not come with a care label or tag and, in fact, many are acquired because they are perceived to be low-cost pets," said Dr. Colleran.
A cat is a pet, but a dog is a companion
"In the Bayer Veterinary Care Usage Study III: Feline Findings, owners of both dogs and cats expressed an emotional attachment to their cats, but clearly there was a marked difference in their relationship with their cats as compared to their dogs," said Dr. Colleran. "Owners said they consider their dogs to be companions and dependent, and their cats to be pets and independent. As a result, it appears they consciously or subconsciously perceive dogs may have more value than cats and this can influence how they think and act on their cat's healthcare needs."
A cat's personality and habitat linked to provision of healthcare
The Feline Findings Study found the vast majority – 81 percent – of cat owners believed that cats are very self-sufficient and independent and, therefore, required little attention. Dogs, on the other hand, were viewed as much more dependent and needy.
But "low maintenance" doesn't mean "no maintenance," according to Cristiano von Simson, DVM, MBA, Director of Veterinary Services at Bayer HealthCare LLC Animal Health Division, North America. "Cats' independent nature makes them appear more standoffish than dogs, and they keep secrets by often hiding signs of illness," he said. "The study showed that 81 percent of owners believe their cat was in excellent health, while 53 percent said their cat had never been sick or injured. These perceptions help account for why cats visit the veterinarian less. Dog owners already consider visits to the veterinarian part of responsible pet ownership. It should be that way for cats, too."
A cat's habitat further complicates the feline healthcare picture. The study revealed 63 percent of cats in cat-only households live indoors exclusively, never going outside. In turn, many owners assume their indoor cats are safe from disease, not realizing many feline diseases – such as diabetes, heart conditions and thyroid deficiencies – are not infectious and can develop regardless of where the cat is living.
Feline resistance single biggest obstacle to veterinary visits
According to the Feline Findings Study, 58 percent of owners report that their cats hate going to the veterinary clinic and, for 38 percent of them, just thinking about it was stressful. The study found that most cats fear being placed into a cat carrier and transported by car, so many owners simply opt not to put up with the hassle.
The Feline Five: five things cat owners can do to improve feline healthcare
"There are five easy steps owners can take right now to increase the likelihood their cats will be healthy," said Bayer's Dr. von Simson. "We call them the Feline Five."
- Make the cat carrier a familiar, comfortable place.
-- Reduce feline resistance to the cat carrier by placing it near to where the cat rests with soft bedding, leave the door open and occasionally place treats in the carrier.
- Familiarize your cat with your car.
-- Prepare your cat for the car ride to the clinic by taking her on rides in the carrier as you run normal errands.
- Recognize the importance of regular check-ups.
-- Since the first two years of a cat's life equal 24 years of a human's life – with each successive year equivalent to four human years – your cat needs veterinary check-ups at least annually.
- Realize that cats keep secrets, so you must be a cat detective.
-- Health problems often go undetected for a long time because cats hide signs of illness, so be attentive.
- Know the signs of illness and injury.
-- Signs include: changes in interactions, activity, sleeping habits, food and water consumption, grooming and/or vocalization; unexplained weight loss or gain; signs of stress; and/or bad breath.
What veterinarians can do to improve feline healthcare
"Here are things veterinarians can do to help ensure their feline patients get the healthcare they need and deserve," said the AAFP's Dr. Colleran.
- The Feline Findings Study found 83 percent of new cats are taken to the veterinarian within the first year of ownership, so make that first visit with your cat patient count by emphasizing the need for annual exams, teaching appropriate cat care – including carrier use – and advising on signs of illness to watch for.
- Send home written care instructions and follow-up with well-care reminders.
- Make your office cat-friendly by creating a calm, non-threatening environment for your patients, including a cat-only waiting area or section, and exam room.
- Become an AAFP Cat Friendly Practice (CFP); learn more at http://catfriendlypractice.catvets.com/.
About the Bayer Veterinary Care Usage Study
The first phase of the study focused on the decline in veterinary usage from the pet owners' perspective, identifying six root causes: the economic impact of the recession; fragmentation of veterinary services; the use of the Internet versus office visits; feline resistance; perception that regular medical check-ups are unnecessary; and cost of care. The second phase aimed to: identify any correlation between clinic revenue and pet visits; identify the use of successful practice tools; and establish the degree to which veterinarians are utilizing services identified in phase one of the study. The third phase of the study aimed to improve the veterinary care of cats by determining why cat visits were declining and helping veterinarians reverse the trend. It was conducted in two parts. The results of an online survey of 401 veterinary practice owners, which found cat care was key to veterinary practice growth, were released on January 21, 2013. The results of an online survey of 1,938 cat owners, which found half of America's cats were not receiving regular veterinary care, were announced on July 20, 2013.

In 2011, Columbia Pictures released 'Moneyball'.
The movie, starring Brad Pitt, was based on Michael Lewis' 2003 book, which was based on the Oakland A's 2002 season. It has grossed over 110 million dollars and was nominated for 6 Oscars (Best Actor, Best Picture).
People, I promise you there was a time when making a Hollywood blockbuster about sabermetrics sounded ridiculous.
Anyway, during the Cardinals telecast on Tuesday night, Rick Horton had an interesting non-sequitur.
He was talking about something (male selfies, I believe) when the conversation switched over to the Cardinals hitting coach John Mabry. Horton mentioned that Mabry turned down a role in Moneyball. And went right into an antidote about Mark Ellis accepting his platoon role with the Cardinals.
I was at the gym. So wait, what?
John Mabry turned down a role in Moneyball? The aforementioned Academy Award nominated film? And we're just going to let that hang?
Mabry was on the 2002 Athletics team. In fact, he was the guy that got traded for by Billy Beane in a fit of rage against Jeremy Giambi for not taking a loss hard. See, you remember that scene, don't you?
Some credit Mabry coming to the A's as the spark that led to a 20 game winning streak and an improbable playoff berth. Father Gabe Costa of CBS NY even went so far to do a statistical analysis of Giambi vs Mabry:
"The final major trade that Beane made that season was the spur-of-the-moment trade of Jeremy Giambi for John Mabry of the Philadelphia Phillies. Beane was again heralded as a genius following this trade as, after May 22, the A's held a record of 83-34, among the best in history over such a stretch. Was Mabry actually that big of a spark plug for the Oakland offense? When one compares runs created per at bat, it shows that in Giambi's time with Oakland in 2002, he actually outperformed Mabry by 0.01 runs per at bat. While this is not a significant difference, at a minimum, the two players were comparable during their time in the Oakland lineup. Giambi also had a higher on base percentage, pacing .390 compared to Mabry's .322. Statistically, Giambi was better than Mabry. Perhaps it was the change in attitude sparked by the trade that led to Oakland's success down the stretch. With a winning percentage of over 70%, one thing was certain: during Mabry's time on the team, the team certainly knew how to win."
I couldn't find anything that directly said that Mabry turned down a role in Moneyball or what the role that he might of turned down was.
But if any Cardinal broadcaster or reporter wants to get more details from Mabry and see how all this went down, we'd be happy to update this post with your findings.

What is Copyright?
Dictionary Definition
According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary (2013) copyright is the:
"Exclusive right to reproduce, publish, or sell an original work of authorship. It protects from unauthorized copying any published or unpublished work that is fixed in a tangible medium (including a book or manuscript, musical score or recording, script or dramatic production, painting or sculpture, or blueprint or building). It does not protect matters such as an idea, process, or system. Protection in the U.S. now extends for the life of the creator plus 70 years after his or her death. Works made for hire are now protected for a maximum of 95 years from the date of publication or 120 years from the date of the creation of the work. In 1988 the U.S. joined the Bern Convention, an agreement that governs international copyright. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, adopted in the U.S. in 1998, expanded owners' control over digital forms of their creations and penalized persons who sought to evade technological shields (such as encryption) for copyrighted material."
It's the Law!
It's in the U. S. Constitution! Article 1, Section 8, instructs Congress to "secure for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."
Copyright is a federal law that provides protection to creative and intellectual works.
Copyright gives the copyright holder (usually the creator), certain exclusive rights for a period of time.
Additional state laws, case law and judicial opinions also affect copyright protection.
Violations of copyright law can result in criminal or civil penalties.
Xavier may also be compelled to sanction or penalize those who violate copyright law.

wikiHow to Help Your Teen Overcome Peer Pressure to Drink
Peer pressure, in terms, means social pressure on somebody to adopt a type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group. In other words, some teens will make your teen do something that they don't really want to do, for say: sex, drugs, and drinking. Want your teen to not give in?
1Sit down with your teen. Talk to he/she or them about the dangers of drinking alcohol. Tell them that they will face peer pressure throughout all their teens and you will not be there to help them when they face it.
2Show them what can happen. Go online and look up peer pressure and drinking. Show your kid(s) the consequences of alcohol, peer pressure, and binge drinking.
3Make them understand about the outcome of drinking. Tell them that it could lead to: sexual activity, physical harm, accidents, drunk-driving and a lot of problems that may and could interfere with their personal health.
4Teach them what can happen. Drinking can cause them to:
- You will look ludicrous. The notion is that drinking is cool, but the nervous system changes that come from drinking alcohol can make people do stupid or awkward things, like throwing up or peeing on themselves. Drinking also gives people bad breath, and no one enjoys a hangover.
- Teen drinkers are more likely to get fat or have health problems, too. One study by the University of Washington found that people who regularly had five or more drinks in a row starting at age 13 were much more likely to be overweight or have high blood pressure by age 24 than their non-drinking peers. People who continue binge drinking well into adulthood risk damaging their organs, such as the liver, heart, and brain.
- Teens who drink put themselves at threat for obvious problems with the law (it's illicit; you can get arrested). Teens who drink are also more possible to get into fights and commit crimes than those who don't.
- People who drink daily also often have difficulty in school. Drinking can damage a student's ability to study well and get decent grades, as well as affect sports performance (the coordination thing).

- Tell your teen(s) that anytime that they need you for anything, you will be here for them.
- Tell your teen that they do not have to drink in order to be cool. Most teens drink because they think that it will make them appear cool and think it will help them fit in.
- Just in case your teen is drinking, be careful what you say.

Jamestown drug ring arrests add to Chautauqua County's growing legal budget
MAYVILLE – The numerous arrests in Chautauqua County on Wednesday may bring some additional costs to an already exploding legal budget.
Chautauqua County Attorney Steve Abdella said that the arrests could result in additional costs to the county's budget for the public defenders' office and, more specifically, to the fees for assigned counsel.
"You will always have a need for assigned counsel; it's just another state mandate that the county has to bear," said Abdella. Anyone who has been charged with a crime, as well as people with family court matters, like child custody, are entitled to legal counsel if they cannot afford a lawyer.
The assigned counsel budget was $760,000 in 2013 and the amount is expected to approach $1 million in 2014. The fees for attorneys who are assigned to represent people range from $60 to $75 an hour, Abdella said. He said judges can appoint attorneys to represent clients for different reasons. Among the reasons, Abdella said, was when one or more defendants are charged in a case. A case from Frewsburg in 2013 involved four suspects charged with murder and other felonies. Only one person could be represented by the public defender's office. The other three people who were charged were given attorneys that were assigned.
Recently, Jason Wells, of Fredonia, was represented by Attorney Lyle Hajdu, an assigned counsel. Nathaniel Barone, head of the public defender's office for the county, said he was not sure the reason for Wells receiving someone outside of his office, as he was not in his position in 2010 when Wells was charged.
"There must have been some conflict with a person from the PD office representing him," Barone said in a recent interview.
It has been an unusual time for Chautauqua County as several murder trials, all with public defender attorneys or assigned council, have occurred or will be scheduled in the near future.
County taxpayers support the majority of the $1.7 million public defender's office budget. About $389,000 is received from state grant funds to help with the costs.
Abdella said that the county has been looking for ways to reduce the legal fees. He said that counties have options when it comes to providing legal services to the "indigent" or those who cannot afford to hire their own legal counsel. He said some counties contract with a "legal aid" type of service. He added that the legal aid service would still be limited to handling only one person in a case.
A request for proposals was issued and two legal firms replied to provide "legal aid services," Abdella said. The replies came in late Wednesday and Abdella said he would not reveal names because he had not had a chance to review them. He said he would report to the county's audit committee at the next meeting in August.
"Because all these expenses have been on the increase, we have had discussions with members of the legislature who desire to check into alternatives," Abdella said.
He said if contracting with a legal aid group could reduce costs, it would most likely not start until January 2015.
Abdella confirmed that another area that the county will look into is sharing services of public defenders. Barone confirmed that his office was contacted by legislators about this.
"This is done in other counties in New York," said Abdella. He noted that the size of Chautauqua County and the distance between courts in this county and neighboring counties may make the program more difficult. Erie and Cattaraugus County public defenders were asked to consider this as an option, according to Barone.
Further details about the costs of defense funds for county residents are expected to be revealed at the legislature's August session.

Tabery has veteran golf team
Missy Tabery may have lost state qualifier Tracy Gustafson to graduation but with five of her top six golfers back, the prospects for a very decent 2009 season are definitely there.
Gustafson tied for 36th in the Class AA state meet last June at Ridges of Sand Creek in Jordan with a two-day round of 185.
Tabery, who guided her 2008 team to a fourth place finish in the section last year, knows she has the nucleus of another good squad.
Katie Anderson is the only returning senior letterwinner in the team.
"Katie is a good athlete," said Tabery, who is in her 12th year as coach. "She will likely be my No. 1 or No. 2. She is very strong and she has a great long game."
Junior Kayla Krause is out for her fourth season.
"She's a strong player and she hits the ball far," said Tabery, who sees Anderson and Krause flip-flopping in the role of the team's No. 1 golfer.
Freshman letterwinners include Jenna Ludovissie, Amanda Kramer and Breanna Speed. While Tabery tabs Ludovissie as the strongest of the three, she is anxious to see what all of her freshmen can do this season.
Seventh-graders on the team are Paige Hartman and Ella Harrison. Both come from strong golfing families and have good skills.
Staples-Motley and Detroit Lakes shape up as the strongest teams in the Mid-State Conference this year. Three-time defending state champion Minnewaska will once again be the section favorite.

CHINA IS OFF to an inauspicious start as host of the Olympic Games. Its repressive actions are speaking louder than its empty words of promised societal reform. With the entire world watching, its leadership overtly has rounded up government critics and slapped restrictions on journalists, betraying promises made when it landed the hosting rights. China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists is reprehensible. As President Bush said last week, "We press for openness and justice not to impose our beliefs, but to allow the Chinese people to express theirs."
WHAT WAS HE THINKING? - Nathan Miller learned the hard way "Road Closed" signs are posted for a reason. The 25-year-old Milesburg, Pa., man ventured onto a closed road one afternoon in search of good fishing at Bald Eagle State Park, but got his pickup truck stranded on some railroad tracks. After trying for 45 minutes to dislodge the truck, Miller said he could do nothing but step back and watch a Norfolk Southern train smash into it. Signs clearly stated the road was closed, but Miller decided to "give it a shot" after hearing about the fishing spot. "I was an idiot. Pretty much a local idiot just trying to go fishing," said Miller, who was cited for trespassing. He has no intention of going back.
THIS WEEK'S EXAMPLE OF FELONY STUPIDITY - A pickup truck thief lost his purloined Chevy Silverado to an armed carjacker during a 7-Eleven stop in Salinas, Calif. A 33-year-old man stole the pickup one day last week, then, while sitting outside a convenience store, another man with a gun hopped in and ordered him to start driving. The pickup ran out of gas and the gunman ordered the driver to get out and push - who, instead, managed to run away and call for help. Police spotted the pickup the next day, and the gunman was arrested after a brief chase and crash. "You couldn't make up something stranger than this," said Police Cmdr. Kelly McMillin.

Waubonsee Remembers 9/11
A student places a flower at the peace pole on the Sugar Grove Campus as part of a 9/11 remembrance ceremony.
Waubonsee Community College students, faculty and staff gathered to remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001, during a short ceremony on the Sugar Grove Campus this afternoon.
In addition to patriotic music and the reading of several poems about 9/11 and its aftermath, Waubonsee Student Activities Manager Cherie Westfall offered thoughts and comments.
"[On 9/11] we listened with horror to our radios and relived it again and again when we returned home that evening and for weeks afterward whenever we opened a newspaper or watched the news," Westfall said. "We cried as individuals, as communities and as a nation."
Waubonsee's remembrance also included a moment of silence and the placing of flowers at the campus' peace pole.

When it comes to farmer's market wares, my eyes are often more bigger than my stomach. I forget that I'm shopping for two and go overboard, returning home with bags practically overflowing with the market bounty even with the greenmarket's current modest showing. I worry what will happen once strawberries and asparagus hit the market, along with their friends, artichokes and fava beans.
A few weeks back was no different. Forgetting that there are only so many apples two people can eat in one week before the apples are past their prime, I wound up with a few too many. And given that we were going away for Passover, I knew that by the time we had returned, these apples would've grown mealy.
When I wind up with too many apples (which happens more often than you'd think) – I am loathe to let them waste and always try to cook them into something. Apple sauce often seems fitting and since I have enough friends with babies and toddlers, this has historically worked out to be a good proposition. But I was feeling nostalgic, and remembering an apple cake my mom used to make when I was little called "Charlotka" and wanted to channel that instead.
Because my mother operates according to the "a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, and cook until ready" school of cookery, I always need to test her recipes to come up with exact proportions. This is particularly true of baking – the woman cooks "by hand" and I, for the most part, weigh and measure. So armed with her ingredients and rough proportions, I cross-referenced one of Dorie Greenspan's recipes that's pretty much identical to that of my mother's, and set out to make my own version of a childhood favorite, swapping in some whole wheat flour and adding cinnamon and cardamom into the mix.
The batter, almost too liquidy to be a cake, and barely covering the apple chunks went into the oven only to emerge, an hour later, puffed up and dimply, the latter being very good if you're describing an everyday cake, or a baby.
Warm and perfumed, it took some time to cool – and we had to exercise a lot of patience not to dig into it right away. And when we did, it was just like my mother's cake, only a bit more toothsome, thanks to the whole wheat addition. We've been treating ourselves to a slice after dinner, and one with our morning tea.
Not bad for a project that was only intended as a rescue mission. Perhaps I need to go and buy too many apples again.
Dimply Apple Spice Cake
Liberally adapted from Dorie Greenspan and my mother
1/4 cup (32 grams) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup (64 grams) all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
4 large apples (900 to 1000 grams), preferably all different kinds, peeled, cored, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons (29 grams) dark rum
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) vanilla extract
1 stick (8 tablespoons, 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter an 8-inch springform pan and place it on a baking sheet line with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. In another large bowl whisk together the eggs until they are foamy. Add the sugar and whisk until well blended, about 2 minutes. Whisk in rum and vanilla. Whisk in half the flour and when it is incorporated, whisk in half the melted butter, followed by the rest of the flour and the rest of the butter. Mix gently – so that the resulting batter is smooth and thick. Using a rubber spatula, fold in apple chunks making sure that each piece is coated with the batter. Scrape the mixture into the springform pan and smooth it out as best as you can with a spatula. The raw cake will look lumpy, almost as if you don't have enough better.
4. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 55 to 70 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. You might see the cake pulling away a bit on at the sides. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Using a butter knife, carefully run it around the edges of the cake and carefully remove the sides of the springform, being careful not to pull away any apple bits. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before removing it from the bottom of the springform (same process as removing the sides). Serve at room temperature. The cake will keep for a few days – best to over it with a kitchen towel rather than plastic wrap.

Blasphemy law, it's not just for Pakistan anymore.
In Belgium. Blasphemy law, it's not just for Pakistan anymore.
Arne S., originally from Blankenberge, was sentenced on Wednesday, by the criminal court of Bruges, to four months in prison for having torn a copy of the Koran in front of a group of Muslims, in June 2012, in Ostende.
On 8 June last year, in the early evening, the accused participated in a demonstration in Ostende. After the demonstration, he went into a café where he exchanged words with around a dozen Muslims. In front of their eyes, Arne S. tore a copy of the Koran.
According to the statements of the accused, the Muslims threw the sacred [sic] book at his head, which provoked his action. Olivier Ryde, the accused's lawyer, requested this his client be acquitted. According to him, there was no question of any infringement of the law on racism.
But racism or the specter of hate crimes is being used to ram through Islamic blasphemy law by another means. Blasphemy law is still unacceptable in the West, so those being charged with it have to be charged with other offenses.
Obama locked up the Mohammed moviemaker for a parole violation, but most targets don't have such convenient tags. So instead hate crime laws are used to punish acts of blasphemy and appease Muslims.
No one is actually intimidated by these acts. There is no racism. Theocracy is being implemented without legal recourse.

The Strategic Forces Subcommittee met today for a hearing on Y-12 Intrusion: Investigation, Response, and Accountability. Chairman Michael Turner (R-OH) made the following statement available as prepared for delivery:
"Good afternoon and welcome to today's hearing on the recent security breach at the Y-12 National Security Complex.
"As we all know from the press accounts, in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday, July 28, three nuclear disarmament activists trespassed onto the grounds of the Y-12 complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The activists, including an 82-year old Catholic nun, cut through several fences and entered the high-security "Protected Area" surrounding the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility (HEUMF). The activists defaced an exterior side of the building with spray paint, human blood, posters, crime scene tape, and other items before eventually being stopped and detained by members of the protective force. Reportedly, even once on the scene the initial protective force member apparently did not respond with appropriate urgency.
"This level of intrusion into the perimeter of a highly secure nuclear weapons facility is unprecedented--and it is completely unacceptable. It is outrageous to think that the greatest threat to the American public from weapons of mass destruction may be the incompetence of DOE security.
"Let me be clear: I rank this failure alongside the Air Force's unauthorized shipments of nuclear weapons to Barksdale Air Force Base in 2007 and nuclear weapons components to Taiwan, which was reported in 2008.
From our oversight of those incidents, this subcommittee is intimately familiar with how systemic failures--coupled with a lack of leadership attention--can lead to massive failures in a business with room for none.
The 2007 Air Force incident revealed deep and systemic flaws throughout the Air Force enterprise that allowed that incident to occur. It also revealed that both on-the-ground personnel and senior leaders in the Air Force had taken their eyes off the ball when it came to nuclear weapons. Tellingly, we saw Secretary of Defense Gates take strong action to hold these people accountable and fix the system.
"As the Y-12 investigations proceed, I expect to see similarly strong action with regards to the July 28 incident and the leadership, management, and oversight failures that enabled it to occur.
"I have had deep reservations regarding NNSA's nuclear weapons security posture going back many years. Some of my first direct encounters with nuclear weapons security in the early-2000s--a visit to Y-12's old nuclear facilities and a ride-along with NNSA's Office of Secure Transportation--left me deeply concerned that we were not paying sufficient attention to the security of our nuclear weapons.
"And let's remember: it was because of massive security problems and mismanagement at DOE that led this committee to create NNSA in 1999. This Y-12 incident is just one more indicator that creation of NNSA hasn't fixed the problems--12 years later and the entire nuclear weapons enterprise, from the budget process to facilities construction and now basic security, is fundamentally broken.
"Ranking Member Sanchez and I spoke earlier, and we agreed that the system is broken. The Ranking Member and I have pledged to conduct a subcommittee investigation and ensure we get to the root causes of these failures.
"We both want strong and effective federal oversight of the nuclear enterprise, and we both want the responsible federal and contractor officials to be held accountable. This must never happen again. We must make it clear that these failures cannot be repeated and those responsible are held accountable. Ms. Sanchez and I will demand it.
"Perhaps most troubling to me is that we have heard that there were many indicators of problems with Y-12's security prior to July 28. These include:
* Sky-high false- and nuisance-alarm rates;
* Cameras that were broken for six months; and
* Huge maintenance back-logs of security critical equipment.
"Some of those indicators go back several years, and many of them were reported to NNSA's Y-12 site office on a daily or weekly basis. But no one reacted. No one at the contractors, NNSA, or DOE followed up on these indicators and forced corrective action. I am simply shocked by the failure to recognize a near meltdown of critical security lapses that were known well before this incident occurred.
"It appears that the federal overseers were focused on the wrong things. There was plenty of paperwork but no recognition of--or action on--these problems. This is mind-boggling, and may be the new textbook definition of "missing the forest for the trees."
"Here are some basic questions:
* Who knew that these cameras were out for so long?
* Who knew that the false alarm rates were so high?
* Who knew about the huge backlog of security maintenance and the overreliance on compensatory measures?
* Who should have known these things?
* Did they do anything to get it fixed?
* Have they been fired?
"As far as I can tell, the only individual that has been fired is the Y-12 protective force officer who initially--if belatedly and incompetently--responded to the alarms. And he may get rehired thanks to his union's protest.
Others at both contractors and NNSA have been "reassigned" or allowed to retire. This does not fit my definition of accountability, and certainly does not follow the example set four years ago by Secretary Gates.
Some more complex but equally important problems involve the bifurcation of responsibility and accountability for security at Y-12. Shortly after the July 28 incident, NNSA decided the dual prime contracts at Y-12--one for the protective force and one for the broader management of Y-12--resulted in less effective security. Two contractors were responsible for security, and they didn't communicate or coordinate like they needed to. NNSA fixed this problem immediately after the incident by making one a subcontract to the other.
"However, this bifurcation of responsibility and accountability for security also exists on the federal side: both DOE and NNSA have security offices responsible for setting security policies, conducting oversight, and ensuring effective security is in place. So far, we have yet to see NNSA or DOE recognize this problem in their own house--even though they immediately recognized it in their contractors.
"Instead, I'm seeing a lot of bureaucratic finger-pointing between NNSA, DOE, and the two contractors at Y-12. This bureaucratic backstabbing is also now playing out in the Washington Post, with details of supposedly classified reports leaked to the press. That leaking alone is deeply troubling and I expect our witnesses will tell us what they are doing to track that down and put an end to it. All of this is just another indication that the system itself is broken.
"There is something deeply and fundamentally wrong with the culture in the Forrestal building. If this type of bureaucratic warfare had erupted at DOD after the Minot and Taiwan incidents, Secretary Gates would have had those involved terminated immediately.
"Continuing with the status quo--doing more of the same--isn't going to resolve the root causes of NNSA and DOE's long history of security failures. Dozens of reports and other indicators show the system itself is broken, in addition to leadership, management, and personnel failures.
"As one example, an independent study of NNSA security conducted by Admiral Rich Mies back in 2005 found that many of the problems their study identified, "are not new; many continue to exist because of a lack of clear accountability, excessive bureaucracy, organizational stovepipes, lack of collaboration, and unwieldy, cumbersome processes."
"As the sole authorizing committee with jurisdiction for the nation's nuclear security activities, we take this incident very seriously. We must understand the details of what actually happened during this incident and the failures that allowed it to happen. We must also understand what corrective actions are being taken, who is being held accountable, and the ongoing investigations. And, as I mentioned, the Ranking Member and I are in lock-step about this. There are no politics here.
"To enable this in-depth discussion, we must get beyond the press accounts and discuss sensitive details. Therefore, with agreement of the Ranking Member, after opening statements from the witnesses we are going to immediately transition into a classified session. We want a full and vigorous discussion--and this can only take place in a closed session. The subcommittee will continue to conduct rigorous oversight of this matter in the months ahead, and we anticipate further subcommittee oversight activities in the future.
"Today, we have two of the senior officials responsible for ensuring nuclear security at DOE facilities. They are:
The Honorable Daniel B. Poneman
Deputy Secretary of Energy
U.S. Department of Energy
The Honorable Neile L. Miller
Principal Deputy Administrator
National Nuclear Security Administration
"Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today--we look forward to your testimony and the detailed discussion during the subsequent briefing. I know we all want to make sure this doesn't happen again--because next time it may not be an 82-year old nun.
"I'd like to note that during a recent office visit with Deputy Secretary Poneman, he agreed that DOE, NNSA, and its contractors would fully cooperate with the subcommittee's investigation. I thank him for that commitment and look forward to our continuing discussion.

ganapati ji,
thank you for your reply.

As a matter of safe guarding yourself from the cpio preventing your accompanying person, you can intiate the process in your RTI application itself, a few auestions to be framed for the same are:
*Who would be the staff/officer from your side who would identify me the files when I come to inspect along with my friend?
*Who would sign the file inspection report from your side along with myself and a public witness who would accopmany me.
apply with IQ you may form better questions
please tell me what this file inspection report is. is there any provision in rti act for this? is there any provision for a public witness presence during the inspection of files?
are there any CIC decisions in this regard?
But many times whenever I have inspected files, the PIO or the officer concerned has written a one page short note stating that so and so inspected so and so file under the RTI act on....etc.....
And then both of us sign it. This must be to ensure that the applicant does not say at a later stage that he was not allowed to inspect the file.
2. The threads mentioned in Ganpat's post of 26 Jan in this thread, have
some CIC citations regarding the subject.
I believe it more kind of informal thing which CPIO do to ensure that at later date they are not charged that they have denied file inspection. Further, for calculating the additional cost of inspection for extended time that will be handy
RTI India Network Staff Member
rakatkamji, is there really any role for advisers while collecting information? you know what you want, you can go to the pio and take it. other people will be a hindrance only. as regards representatives, your representative may not know or may not collect all the information you want. he may leave out something for which you may have to go to the office again. these practical problems can arise.

KAMINSKI / Splash News
Batman must be learning how to knit!
Actually, that's just Ben Affleck, and the 41-year-old soon-to-be superhero was tagging along with daughters Violet and Seraphina to a craft store in L.A. on Sunday, Nov. 25.
After the doting daddy and his girls got their art fix for the day, the trio made their way to 7-year-old Violet's basketball game. At some point, mom Jennifer Garner met up with her hubby, and the proud parents and Seraphina cheered on Violet and her team, the Seminoles!
The family unit—minus 1-year-old Samuel, who was perhaps a little young for the day's festivities—even got in some fun at a local park and picked up pizza to go
But as much as Ben likes staying home with his brood, don't expect that to turn into a full-time gig anytime soon. "I don't want to be a stay-at-home dad," he told Details magazine last year. "Work is very important to me. I like to work. But I need my work to mean something to me in order for me to not be home with them."
And although Ben admitted his beautiful wife does most of "everything" around the house, it's clear he cherishes the time he spends with Jen and his family!

Can't see the wood
SOMETIMES the old-fashioned ways are the best. It turns out that
photographing forest canopies with digital cameras rather than old-fashioned
film can produce misleading results.
Forest researchers use cameras with "fisheye" lenses to obtain a 180°
view of the canopy. They then process the images on computers to measure
structural details and the amount of light that penetrates the canopy. This
reveals things such as the age of the forest, or changes in vegetation due to
climate change.
In the past, researchers used photographic film and special high-quality
lenses to take their pictures. But many have now switched over to digital
cameras, says Gordon Frazer, a postgraduate student at the University of
Victoria in British Columbia. This is because digital cameras are quicker and
easier to use, and also because the scientific lenses for film cameras are
expensive and difficult to obtain.
But forestry scientists now often use digital cameras

Moroccan children adopted by Spanish families will be monitored by the Moroccan government until they reach the age of 18but not to check up on their overall well being. Instead, Morocco intends to ensure that the adopted children remain culturally and religiously Muslim.
Morocco enforces an Islamic practice called kafala, which prevents conversion to Christianity among adopted children by ensuring that children are raised Muslim.
According to the Gatestone Institute, Morocco issued a provision preventing foreign adoptions to non-Moroccan residents, but the new Spanish agreement overrides that restriction. (continue reading...)(...more)

Money--A Sign of God's Love
Full Product Description
What does God's compassion for creation mean for you? Jeff Wilburn explains a revolutionary new view of money that can be proved in our everyday experience. Unseen divine laws have now been summarized, bringing supply in new and exciting forms.It turns out that God's love for humanity can be counted on at all times. Baffling problems of small or large consequence are not problems for the all-knowing Father/Mother of us all. Reasoning that we cannot be separate from God's love since He is everywhere, that its impossible that God could withhold good from creation, is true scientific force we can use now. Mankind has been intellectually blind to God's scientific supply. The tyranny of the physical senses has for too long left people without hope. The walls of frustration, lack and limitation crumble as spiritual understanding replaces wrong concepts. Then, a new vision sees the diamond mine of spiritual substance that underlies reality. Good naturally comes to us when we learn how to use God's Christian Law of Supply. Travel with the author to see how form emanates from Spirit, how you are loved even more than you dreamed, and how money is a sign of God's love!
Money--A Sign of God's Love by Jeff Wilburn was published by iUniverse in October 2007. The ISBN for Money--A Sign of God's Love is 9780595461462.

Join Couchsurfing to see Geneviève's full profile. It's free!
About Me
To make contacts all around the world in order to extend my knowledge of other cultures and to share my own with other people.
My Name is Geneviève and I am from Québec, the French part of Canada. I am a free-spirit, who doesn't take life too seriously. One of my biggest belief is that you need to laugh at whatever goes wrong...because it'll make a great memory!
I am currently an exchange student in Hong Kong, and I only have 1 month left here in Asia. I'll mostly spend that last month traveling around. My next destinations being Shanghai and Beijing.
I love meeting all sorts of people. I have a passion for Arts and enjoy a drink in good company. I am very laid-back and like to go wherever life brings me.
Even though I have been a member of this website since 2008, I still consider myself a newbie. I have never really used it as I should have had...That explains the zero friends thing I believe! But eh, there is a starting point to everything, right?! Better late than never!
Looking forward to see you one day! =)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
So far, I haven't had any couch surfing experience; my exchange will be my first international travel experience. However, I wish to find on that website people that are willing to show me what it is like to live an ordinary life in their hometown. I think there is no better way to explore a country than with the eyes of a local.
I am not interested in big, American Hotels. To me, travelling is to experiment a new lifestyle and to bring back unforgettable memories about those time when I went far out of my comfort zone and of what I am used to.
I try to have an open mind and to have a wide range of interests. Everything has something likable about it, you just need to find what.
