Implications of financing higher education for access and equity: The case of Syria
- 330 Downloads
- Citations
This article examines the implications for access and equity of the Syrian government's efforts to reform higher education in the country over the past decade. In the context of social and economic reforms that are moving the county from a state-controlled to a social market economy, it focuses on adequacy in financing higher education, as well as efficiency and equity. Significant progress has been made in access to higher education. The government has introduced a rich variety of options for accessing higher education, resulting in a doubling of enrolled students over the past 10 years. In terms of equity, the gender gaps in higher education enrollment and completion have all but disappeared nationally, although regional variations persist. The study raises concerns about the system's internal and external efficiency: despite some improvements, the quality of the curricula and their relevance for the labour market remain serious issues.

Resolving the problems faced in playing pogo games\nOnline games are the latest source of entertainment. These games have been included in our daily lives to such an extent that not being able to play them creates a feeling of uneasiness. @ http://www.pogogames.support/our-services.html

Resolving the problems faced in playing pogo games
Online games are the latest source of entertainment. These games have been included in our daily
lives to such an extent that not being able to play them creates a feeling of uneasiness. If you are a
pogo games player and you are facing the problem of pogo not working, then following certain steps
you can solve the problem.
Identifying the problem
If you are able to find out the reason for pogo games not working, then you can easily sort the
problem. This means to identify whether the problem is in the browser you are using or due to
problems in the flash and pogo java support on your device.
Compatibility scan tools
If you are confused about the compatibility of your device, then you can perform a compatibility
scan. A compatibility scan will provide results based upon the OS installed and the web browser
being used to play the game. If the compatibility scan fails, then many of the possibilities for the
games not working can be overlooked. To fix pogo, you need to make changes in those fields, in
which the compatibility scan has failed.
Solving the problem
First of all, you should visit the official pogo website and based upon the information, find out the
actual problem and how to fix pogo games . Always ensure that you are using a supported browser
before playing a pogo game. After this, you should check if the java support is enabled. This is a
reason for the games not working in many cases.
Firewall and anti-virus services also restrict various activities that are required for the game to
function. Make the changes that are required.
A pogo java error usually suggests that the pogo java support is not updated. You can turn on the
feature of automatic update so that pogo java support is updated whenever an update is present.
After you have installed the latest version of java to fix pogo, it is advised that you should restart
your computer for the required changes to take place.
Other alternatives
If you have tried all these methods but still you are still not able to deal with the problem of pogo
games not working , consult pogo support. Pogo support will provide you the exact guidelines you
are to follow, based upon the error message that is displayed. Before you consult pogo support
services, be sure that you have read the information on the website. The information on the website
covers nearly all the reasons due to which the games might not be running and also the solutions to
those problems.
Thus to fix pogo games, you do not need to worry much. A few changes and you will be able to fix
pogo games. The idea is to identify and then resolve the problem.

After routing at the stage of filler cells adding to the design::
can we add all spare cells in the design instead of filler cells. ofcourse filler cells will be used for N-well continuity between standard cells.
But why dont we use spare cells instead of fillers..
While fabricating the chip the fabricator should fabricate the spare cells(at transistor level) like std cells at that time also we'l have N-well continuity, then why dont we prefer spares instead fillers??
What will be the draw back if we use spares in empty places of design??
Can some one please explain....
Leakage current, compare the leakage current on a filler vs. standard cell. The lower tech nodes tend to fill first with large decoupling caps then the smaller filler cells.
Using standard cells in place of fillers may also cause some extra routing congestion because the inputs of each spare cell will need to be routed to ground.
Also, note that decap cells have power leakage as well.

I'm trying to edit a newsletter widget so the labels are behind the input fields – http://attardi.org/labels/
I've nearly done it but I'm struggling to find where/how wordpress inserts the styles that are used through the back end as I need a transparent option and there isn't one :(
Can you point me in the right direction please?
Hey sirchunk,
Can you link to a page showing the widget and pointing out the specific bits that need to be transparent? That way we can inspect the css and hopefully provide the changes needed. The more specific the better since it sounds like you only want to effect a certain portion of your site.
Yea sure, http://tinyurl.com/acolvpo
It's bottom right. Still needs tiding up but just need the input on top to be transparent but can't because it's set in the back end of WP. This always stumps me :(
The custom styles you've added have kind of made the input fields for this widget a bit of a mess. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but the following makes the first fields background transparent and fixes the odd margin:
#footer #madmimiwidget-2 .input #signup_name2 {
background: transparent;
margin: 0;
This makes the second field background transparent:
#footer #madmimiwidget-2 #signup_email2 {
background: transparent;
Thanks, with your help I have managed to fudge it so it works :)
You guys are amazing. Thank you.
Glad we could help :)
If you make any css changes always add them to the custom.css file in the css folder or to your Quick CSS. Makes keeping track of everything much easier and both are added after the other style pages so basic priority is higher.

Congrats to Michelle Malkin: Hot Air Sold to Salem
Filed Under Announcements, Business, Politics | 5 Comments
Sounds to me like congratulations are in order:
CPAC hasn't even officially started and already its making news. Mediaite has learned that leading center-right web site Hot Air has been acquired by Salem Communications for an undisclosed sum. Sources close to the deal claim that Michelle Malkin, the conservative pundit and sole owner of Hot Air, has been in talks with Salem for some time, but the announcement was timed to coincide with the Conservative Political Action Conference, which opens tomorrow in Washington D.C.
Hot Air is one of the biggest, most influential conservative sites on the Web and was launched on April 24, 2006, with Michelle Malkin as founder/CEO (though she remains editorially focused on her own blog MichelleMalkin.com and her own writing and television appearances.)
That's great news for Michelle and everybody involved with Hot Air. They've worked incredibly hard to build a quality product and their success is well deserved.
As a blogger who occasionally pops up on Hot Air — and Michelle is also good enough to let me guest blog at her own site when she's going to be out for any extended period of time — I initially wondered if the sale would culminate with Hot Air taking a different direction and ruining everything that made it worth visiting. That doesn't appear to be the case though.
Salem Communications specializes in conservative media, so hopefully they stick to the formula that was used to make Hot Air such a success in the first place. My only concern is that Salem also owns Townhall.com, and that site is clunky as hell in my opinion, and has some incredibly annoying pop-ups, so if there's any change, I hope it's that Salem makes Townhall more like Hot Air, and not vice-versa.
Congratulations again to Michelle and the Hot Air crew. It's nice to see good things happening to good people courtesy of the free market.
Now we can sit back and wait for Joe Biden to count Hot Air as "jobs saved or created" by the stimulus.
Update: Ed Morrissey has more.

Hat's off to Malkin's brilliant business mind and model.
Perhaps I'm jaded, but I hope this is not the first step toward "ConglomerBlogging". If the Marxist State Media figures out that they can just "buy" blogs….oh well.

jmho.Put together a proposal and shop it around.You know who they are.There don't seem to be any rules or limits at present.
Someone will eventually figure out how to package old and new media,profitably…or not.

One photographer's perspective on the election and American exceptionalism
I get it. I am a 59 year-old, white male. I work in a field that once provided me with a very good living, a field that has been decimated by changing technology and globalization. The work that I used to get paid good money to create is now done by people overseas, or by others in America, who get paid much less than I ever would accept, or by machines. But I am still troubled by the recent election result because American workers, like me, have been displaced by changes in the economy and labor market for decades if not centuries. Adaptability to change is a hallmark of what has been dubbed "American exceptionalism". So what changed in this election?
I am a publication photographer, having worked early in my career for newspapers and later for magazines/web-sites. The work that I was once paid to perform in the developing world for American organizations is now performed by "locals" who live in the kind of places I was once sent to photograph. They earn considerably less than I did when I was sent abroad to do my photography work. Domestically, publications thrive today on what is called "user provided content," which means the average person giving away images to publications for free or minimal payment. A job that once provided me a very good living has been vaporized by technology, just as happened for buggy whip makers, typesetters, switchboard operators, riverboat pilots, and on and on and on.
Many of my peers, who used to be "masters of our little universes" have left the field of commercial photography, retired early, or have been left stumbling along depending on their families, spouses, etc. Unfortunately for us, no retraining programs have been made available by the government. Unemployment compensation has never been an option for us, since most of us spent our entire career as self-employed, small business people. So, I can understand the anger of those who saw change destroying their livelihoods.
Before writing me off as part of the problem, as part of the "media", remember that my role as publication photographer has repeatedly brought me face-to-face with Trump supporters, Tea Party members and their predecessors over the years. I know them, having photographed them for publications, as they struggled to live the American Dream. I know them as the family of six I photographed living in an old yellow school bus outside of Fort Worth, Texas. I know them as the four young men who joined the Marine Corps together, and the two who graduated as Marines, having survived the grueling basic training. I know them as the husband and wife mill workers in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, who lost their jobs to automation and outsourcing. I know them as the Quahoggers (shell-fishermen) of Narragansett Bay struggling to support their families by doing a hard day's work in hope of earning a decent wage.
I know these men and women as good, hard working, motivated people striving to do the best for themselves and their families. I know they have been occasionally kicked and beaten down by the winds of change, but I, also, know that every single one of them is tough enough to work their way back. Each one has come back stronger, often reinventing themselves as something new, just as I have been forced to do. They were looking for help, not a handout, which is all I have asked for as I have slowly rebuilt my career as a videographer and photo-workshop teacher. So, I know first-hand, in my own experience and through that of the people I have worked with closely, that American life requires hard work, initiative, tenacity and courage.
What I don't get is how those same American strengths propelled Trump to the White House. Yes, a sizable part of the electorate didn't like Clinton. Yet, Clinton clearly had the policy and government experience. Whether that was a strength or weakness was up to each voter. For every scandal that a voter might tag Clinton with, an equally disdainful one was easily attributed to Trump. So they were at worst, neck-to-neck in their strengths and weaknesses, and yet the old white male won again. I am less convinced that the polls were wrong than the fact that there was something else, something that ordinary Americans would not say out loud to pollsters (or even to their friends) which has to be sexism or, god-forbid, misogyny.
I come to this insight as something of an outsider, having watched the end of the campaign from Morocco, where I was teaching two photo workshops. The Moroccans I meet were universally horrified to know that my fellow Americans sent Trump to the White House. No, Moroccans do not have any say in our election. Still, they are right to fear a President-elect who has overtly advocated banning Muslims, like them, from entering our country. The irony that seems lost on most Moroccans, and most Trump supporters, is that Moroccans, who live in a notoriously gender stratified culture were perfectly comfortable with the idea of a woman leading the most powerful nation in the world.
Having been self-employed my entire career as a small business person, I have lived out the American ideal of self-reliance and entrepreneurship. Knowing first-hand how many Americans struggled to adapt in this new age, I get what many voters worried about in this election. I knew we wouldn't agree on everything, as Americans rarely do. But I expected better of America, better than the latent, hidden and understated sexism or misogyny that explains why Trump won.
Look at it this way. One candidate has the most experience of any presidential candidate in modern times while the other has the least experience of any one ever elected to high office. One candidate has a life long track record of working to expand gender equity across the country and around the globe. The other has a well documented track record of sexism (at best or misogyny at worst.) The only way we can heal and move forward is to say, out loud, the M (misogyny ) or S (sexism) word and admit that we still have a long way to go.

East African Wildlife and Landscapes with Hazel Soan
Amboseli, Mt Kilimanjaro, Olduvai Gorge & Ngorongoro Crater
Africa takes us back to our roots, whether that's human roots and the discovery of 1.8million year old hominid at Olduvai Gorge or seeing the 'Big Five' migrating across the plains as they have done for millions of years, or being overpowered by some of nature's greatest showpieces – the Rift Valley, Mt Kilimanjaro & the Ngorongoro Crater, or living amongst an ancient culture – nomadic Maasai tribes. Rarely do you get the chance to see and experience all this, and have expert help on hand to translate these experiences on to canvas or paper.
On this handpicked painting safari you will have the best views of Kilimanjaro, you will camp on the Serengeti plains amongst genuine nomadic Maasai family groups and be able to paint the spectacular wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater from undisturbed private locations, where you can work out in the open.
Your journey starts in Kenya in Amboseli National Park. This is a delightful park with shimmering plains and stunning views of Kilimanjaro. This is elephant country par excellence and home to 'Echo the Elephant' and her family, but there are also giraffe, hippo, buffalo, zebra, gazelle, hyenas and jackals to be seen. Amboseli is where some of the elephants from Daphne Sheldrick's orphanage are released back in to the wild and where Cynthia Moss has done much of her research.
From Amboseli it's an easy drive through the Rift Valley and across in to Tanzania. Here your African experience includes staying on a small hilltop coffee farm with breath-taking 360◦ views over the Ngorongoro walls and the Rift Valley, spending two nights in an authentic 'Out Of Africa' style camp in the vicinity of Olduvai Gorge area and amongst the nomadic Maasai culminating with 3 full days painting the wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater. This volcanic caldera is a natural amphitheatre (60m deep and 16km by 19km wide) which provides a constant supply of water and food for its 30,000 resident mammals, making it one of the highest density game areas in the world. The crater provides the best opportunity of seeing lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo in one day, as well as giraffe, zebra, gazelle, hyenas, jackals and black rhino. Picnic lunches in a private area on the Crater floor will enable you to paint out in the open.
To maximise the amount of time spent painting and minimise the amount of travelling you will fly back to Nairobi spending your last night at Karen Blixen Cottages, which was formerly her coffee farm (1914 – 1931) 'I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills'.
HAZEL SOAN is a hugely popular painter and art tutor. She featured in the Watercolour Challenge TV series and has published many instructional books including African Watercolours. Hazel has a natural ability to inspire students of all abilities and is a devoted teacher providing individual guidance and group demonstrations.. Her love of Africa and painting its wildlife makes her the perfect guest artist on this safari. Hazel Soan will be with you every day helping you translate your experiences in to paintings. Whilst it will be possible to paint and sketch from the private picnic spots in the Ngorongoro Crater most painting will be done in the afternoons when you are back at the lodges.

If the account is a negative account, wanting to remove it is fine. If it was closed in good standing, do not ever try to remove it.
The seven years starts from the DOFD (date of first delinquency) not from the Open or Closed date.
The DOFD is one month after you made the last payment on the account before it became delinquent enough to charge off or be closed.
Late/Missed payments are removed seven years from the date they occurred.
Do some reading on "early exclusion" as you can sometimes get negatives removed a few months prior to the seven year mark.

Remember The Love Boat? Most baby boomers and a few Gen Xers probably have the opening tune memorized. For a lot of Americans, The Love Boat was their first glimpse at cruising for people other than millionaires. Cruising has been closely associated with romance, and the television series certainly wove many a plot around various romantic themes.
Sometimes, a little help can take a so-so cruise and make it a memory maker for years to come. The key to that can be found in little moments you create for yourself and your special someone. Some are free, while others may cost a little bit. Why not cruise from Baltimore and use the airline savings to do them all? Here are our Top 10 tips:
Ditch the kids for a night
Children bring a lot of love into the family, of course, but they aren't exactly the formula for a romantic evening. If you opted to take the family on a cruise, make sure you take a night for yourselves. Virtually all cruise lines have well-staffed, affordable programs and babysitting services. Check it out in advance and plan ahead for a special date night.
Star-lit deck walks
It always amazes us how few cruisers we see at night while strolling around the top deck. Perhaps the crowds are in the theater, lounge, or casino. The stars are often much brighter at sea without the light pollution near the coast. It's generally warm, and if not, walking closely with your arms around each other helps. Take an open lounge chair and ponder and talk. And remember, this one is free!
Take a dance class
You can't be much more "together" then when dancing. Learn something new together and have a great excuse to go out and practice later on. These classes are either free or very low cost and pay dividends for a lifetime. Your friends will ask, "Where did you two learn to dance like that?" The romance can become habit forming. Be the couple others are envious of at any wedding party.
Take a martini or cooking class
These are often free or low cost. The martini classes are typically the cost of two cocktails (and you get four). The best part is that you learn something to share and do together in the future. You have to eat and drink every day, so learn to make it more enjoyable. This learning promotes togetherness, which is the foundation for romance.
Have flowers and champagne sent
Everyone loves these surprises. It's not just limited to your spouse, either. Surprise another couple. Most cruise lines offer this service online. As long as you know their name, the cruise ship's name, and the departure date, you can set this up. Surprisingly, it's as inexpensive as your local florist. Many cruises are planned around anniversaries, birthdays, and other celebratory times. Make it special!
Upscale dining reservations
Everyone knows you are going to eat pretty well on any cruise, but let's up the ante. Main dining areas have you paired with many others which can be fun and engaging. Tables for couples aren't always in the more desirable locations. Most cruise ships now have one or more upscale restaurants that are a true bang-for-the-buck.
For a fee ranging from $10 to $50 a person, you can upgrade to a high-end, white-glove service, seven-course meal that would run $300 to $400 a couple if you were to do it near home. We've never met anyone who regretted this decision and have received countless thanks for this advice.
Balcony night
Sometimes, quiet and simple is the key. If you have a balcony room, this is superb. Get a bottle of wine and room service, dim the lights, and sit on the balcony slowly savoring your meal as conversation weaves its way through the evening. We often begin our day with room service breakfast on our balcony. It's even better if you are facing a sunset. Either way, the quiet simplicity of sharing a meal with the one you love is memorable.
Play your song
Slide a note and a tip to the musicians and have them dedicate your favorite nostalgic song to you and that special someone. This little show of thoughtfulness can take a plain nightclub moment and make it yours. Don't feel awkward, because the entertainers are used to it. Or, try singing a karaoke duet. Have a cocktail first to give you both a little liquid courage and feel the love as you croon to one another while staring lovingly into each other's eyes.
Special excursions
Do some research and plan in advance. Depending on the ports of call on your particular cruise, there can be a wide variety of options to fit every taste, every budget, and every flavor of romance. A private sail for two on a sloop? A picnic in a sublime location? A horse-drawn carriage ride? The possibilities are endless.
Hit the spa
Splurge a little and spend a day at the spa together. Hot tubs, saunas, and a couple's massage (hot stone is our favorite) create a memory that
will long outlive the brief pain in the checkbook. Pamper the relationship as you pamper yourselves.
Show your sweetheart how much you care by sharing the romance of a cruise together.
A cruise can be the most exciting, fun, relaxing, delightful, fulfilling, or romantic time you can have.
Do some research by contacting one of the travel agents in these pages or by visiting any cruise line website. There is sure to be a cruise that fits your personality, budget, or ideal itinerary.
Your Valentine will be sure to thank you.
Bon voyage!

Oh, the Best Dancers Know What Grace Every Stumble Contains
As you can imagine, I am usually working on numerous projects at one time. I have more half finished and quarter finished stories, than I have complete ones. The complete projects are waiting to be edited, which is frustrating because I would like to publish them, but I need to set them aside for a time because they are still too fresh in my mind, and I cannot edit them from a bias perspective. I don't see the flaws or the grammatical errors. Some projects are client projects with deadlines attached. Fortunately, client projects are usually short pieces ranging from three hundred and fifty to four hundred words. I write blog posts and essays for them. To be paid I have to complete each essay, usually a twenty four hour turnaround time, which puts my personal projects on the back burner. This life was my choice, and it can get busy and stressful, but it's the life I want. There are times when I don't get enough sleep because I am in the process and I don't want to stop, and others where I force myself to shut down because my flow is gone.
I am a motivated person, and that does matter because my schedule can get tight when I have too many projects, or I have to find new writing opportunities when the job boards slowdown. I am motivated because I am responsible for my success. I don't have an abundance of time to fool around because my paycheck is determined by the effort I put into my work. When I worked in a corporate setting, I was guaranteed a paycheck just for showing up. It wasn't the biggest paycheck, depending on which corporation I was working for at the time, but it was still a paycheck. Now that I work for myself, I have to hustle to make sure the money is still coming in. This is the life of an entrepreneur.
I am focused and I don't have time for a lot of distractions, but that doesn't mean that I don't want some distraction. When I am working, I get lost in whatever it is I am working on at the time, but that doesn't mean that I don't miss people, friends, family, or that I have even dismissed the idea of getting involved in a relationship. There are sacrifices you make when you are trying to build your work up, but that doesn't mean you go without forever, or that you even stop thinking about what you want your future to look like. When it comes to relationships I have a bit of a commitment phobia, blame it on getting divorced, but that doesn't mean I can't commit or that I won't be in a relationship in the future. I can attest to the fact that I am a shameless flirt. When a guy flirts with me, I will flirt back. When I develop real feelings for a guy, I usually tell him I have those feelings, and then I tell him to stay away from me. I don't like feeling pressured to be in a relationship, and with guys I like, I tend to be different. I don't treat them the same as other guys. I am more cautious around them. I don't fall in love easily, or even into lust, so when I do, I feel vulnerable, and that scares me.
Wanting to move is the biggest reason why I am not currently dating. I really don't want to get attached to a person living in a place where I don't want to live. If I get involved with a guy here, I'll end up staying here, and that is not a goal for me. I am ready to leave the desert life behind. I will not get involved in any 'official' relationship until I decide on where I want to live. Owning a house is an issue because I have to make a choice as to what I do with the house.
Right now, I get energy from my work. When I am in a flow, I don't notice the things I am missing. I am not even thinking about those things - with the exception of when I am writing something romantic - because my writing distracts me. I often work long, full days, because I don't have a partner to take half the workload off me. Even so, I believe in taking care of yourself, which is why I devote time to working out, I put on nice clothes for fashion pictures, and I do take vacations away from my home and computer. I find time in my day for personal care and development, but most of the hours in my day are devoted to work, whether it be for a client or myself. I'm getting faster at what I do, because the more you do something, the better and faster you get at it.
I absolutely love what I do. I don't just kind of sort of love it. I really, really love what I do. I don't just love writing; I love the entire creative process that goes along with it. Writing is something I want to do all the time, even during my free time (which is why I am always writing in my notebooks). Maybe I am just making up for all the years where I put my writing to the side while I worked for someone else, but I have never gotten bored of writing.
Sometimes I do wish for a supportive partner, a person I can talk about my ideas with, mainly in those moments when the words aren't coming as easily, or I am stuck on an idea and I need some guidance as to how to develop certain scenarios. Someone to edit my work because their perspective is fresh and they realize the potential of getting a piece out in the public eye. Someone who can keep me on track, and in the right frame of mind. Sometimes, even I get lazy, and while I do have goals, sometimes I feel like the only thing I do is write. There are things I miss about being in a relationship, sharing is one of them.
Even on my own, I still manage to be extremely productive. I know this is mostly because of the choices I make about how I spend my time. Writing is a lonely process, and I do require a greater amount of space and quiet time when I am in a writing flow.
Warning for the next blog post, I have some jewelry samples from Star Harvest Jewelry, and I need to write a piece on those pieces. It will be sponsored.

I grew up in Vancouver and went to Seattle many times when I was in my late teens and early twenties. My fave spot was Wild Ginger :)
It has now been many years and I am heading to your great city for one night mid-August with my best friend (we both now live in Toronto) and are in our mid thirties. This will be her first time and her Birthday so I am looking for a fun/buzzy restaurant for the Sunday evening and possibly a suggestion of where to go for some great cocktails.
We are staying downtown (probably at the Fairmont). Budget not necessarily an issue but not wanting fine white table cloth dining - just great creative food and a good buzz.
Also if you have any gems for breakfast the following morning that would be awesome. Willing to drive as we will have a car - will be heading to Portland mid day after a morning walking around Seattle.
Any suggestions and tips would be welcome. Thank you so much!

Museum Tower to File Lawsuit Against the Nasher?, Ctd

FWC Must Take Unemployment Into Account
The Fair Work Commission must take today's increase in unemployment into account when it reviews the federal minium wage.
With the seasonal unemployment rate climbing to 5.6% in March from 5.4% in February and up by 0.4% over the course of the year there are real dangers that people will be locked out of the labour market. Read more →

NYPD Commissioner William Bratton spoke from the World Trade Center memorial site in lower Manhattan about the war on terror that he said may never end.
In interviews with several Sunday morning news shows less than a week before he retires, Bratton said that ISIS, with its growing capabilities aided by technology, has become a much more formidable enemy than the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaida, which was responsible for the series of four coordinated terrorist attacks 15 years ago on Sept. 11.
Bratton reflected on the attacks before the memorial service for the nearly 3,000 victims began at Ground Zero.
The probability of another devastating attack hitting New York is high, Bratton said, despite what he said are the ever-increasing capabilities of police and other authorities to gather intelligence about and respond to terrorism.
"There's probably no city in America or the world that has as much capacity and capability as we have in New York," Bratton said on "Eyewitness News This Morning."
But he told CNN's "New Day Sunday", "From our perspective the possibility remains high [of another attack] — not necessarily in the near term, but this is not something that is going to end today, next month or next year."
"This is something that's going to continue through our lifetimes and possibly into the lifetimes of our children," Bratton said. "It's the nature of it."
Bratton said "the enabling, the inspiring, the directing" of terrorists since ISIS came into the picture are all capacities and capabilities "that have made this a very different set of initiatives that policing, and certainly federal government law enforcement, has to deal with."
Asked if there were any current threats to New York, Bratton said there were none, though the situation could always change.
"There are no credible threats directed against this day or this event in New York City," Bratton said, referring to the official 9/11 memorial ceremony, but he said an attack could happen "at any given time."
Bratton said New York City receives threats constantly.
"We're dealing with a constant stream of threats — some real and some imagined — to create the threat that they're coming after us all the time," Bratton said. He said the terrorism world is a "constantly changing landscape," but added New York City authorities are prepared to respond to any attacks "very quickly, very forcefully and very effectively."
Asked by "Sunday Today" in New York what people should do in the face of the ongoing terror threat, Bratton said everyone had to just live their lives as normally as possible.
"People should go about living their lives free of fear," Bratton said. "We want them to be aware — that's the nature of the world we live in."
Bratton noted, however, that, "For 15 years we've kept this city safe" and there has not been a successful attack.
"If we live in fear then they have won and we have lost," Bratton said.
Lou Young of "CBS New Sunday" asked Bratton, "Are we looking here [at the 9/11 Memorial] at history, current events or a combination of both?"
Bratton said both the past and present are involved.
"We're here to remember the history here but we're also reminded of the history to come — the uncertainty of that as it relates to terrorism because we clearly know that the world changed on 9/11."

FFR Coming Back?
by Tass on May.19, 2010, under Flash Flash Revolution, Personal
So, I've had a bit of a back and forth with Synth over the past few days, and have some news in regards to the future of FFR. Here is Synth's explanation of what happened, word for word:
"I had two disasters happen at once. The first was our mysql server literally had a fire start up in the power supply which destroyed the drives and caused one of the quad core harpertowns to overheat and break. The other processor and ram is ok. I had to pull the machine out of the data center and literally spent 2 months in non-work time trying to pull data from a backup on 1 Linux lvm volume and mix it with the files that were recovered with low level tools. I think I have about 90%+ of the DB recovered at this point. Of course I still have 3 server leases I have to pay for each month which is putting a huge strain on things. The other issue was that at around the same time, I received an email from the place we were hosting that demanded we either provide legal proof that we could distribute all the songs in the game and for download or that we would need to remove the servers. You can imagine how that went. I am about a week out from having a functional FFR with the old records and data inside a virtual environment on a single sever."
Beyond this, I think he and I have come to an agreement where I'll be coming back to the site. It won't be my full-time job; FFR will go back to where it was in 2005-ish… a hobby for the owners. Synth will keep doing the day job he's done for 2 years or so and I'll keep doing all my other flash game stuff.

What about that ThirdStyle project though? Will that be integrated?
May 19th, 2010 on 9:36 pm
Wow…it's good to know what actually happened. Hope my favorite songs are still there. But I assume our profiles are probably lost aren't they…oh well.
May 19th, 2010 on 11:40 pm
Despite our history, I'm glad to see that James hasn't fallen off of the mortal coil.
It's good to see that you two have solved your differences, as well.
I wish you both luck.
May 19th, 2010 on 11:48 pm
Well, it's nice to know what actually happened.
And will we have our old profiles?

Thats wonderful news to hear! I'm glad to see that the FFR community might be back.

I hope that when FFR comes back it will be able to handle the traffic. I'm sure there's thousands of people just waiting. Can't wait!!! =D
May 26th, 2010 on 1:20 am
i have been waiting for the site to come back up since it went down. i hope that it will finally go up.
May 26th, 2010 on 1:39 pm
I was really getting in to this game. I have been a member for 3 years, and was starting to get pretty good. Now I just keep hoping and checking back the site. I keep seeing the painfull words "Patience, please check back soon" So I hope it will be back very soon. I guess I need to win the darn hard skill tokens all over again :/ xD
May 28th, 2010 on 8:01 pm
Sounds good to me but you know, since FFR has been on the rehosted site, websense has yet to block it, so I've been able to play it at school as the year draws to an end, I was hoping that the rehosted site would stay, perhaps as a mirror, but will that happen? After FFR's grand reopening?
May 29th, 2010 on 12:14 am
When he said he needed legal proof to distribute the songs in the game or does that refer to the DB? And how did the former go? He had to quote permission emails from the artists?
June 2nd, 2010 on 3:04 am
omg… there's a happy ending!!!
my arrow fingers are crying.
June 4th, 2010 on 1:00 am

But seriously, how much longer? =O
July 13th, 2010 on 6:59 am
The website Http://ffr.lightdarkness.net/FFR/ isn't letting me play it's making me very sad cause I absolutely love this game… it was my life when it was still alive… ugh, please work soon… I always found another way to play during school. Me and tons of other kids would sit in the library during lunch and play. It's addicting. But thanks guys for trying your best to fix all these issues. Sucks to what happened to the servers…
July 13th, 2010 on 3:48 pm
I have been waiting for ffr to come back up since december. Half a year, when can't you just send out ads for donations or something, that was one of my main reasons besides social networking sites to be online. -_-

Nidalee Build Guide by EpilepticZombie
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Nidalee Build
Early laning phase
Mid-late game
Other options
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Well, this is my first guide :) I hope this helps beginner and advanced Nidalee players alike. A forewarning though, DO NOT follow this build like a bible, you will get nowhere trying to buy a doran's 15 minutes in. Go with the flow of the game, and all will be well.
I choose all ability power runes and mana regen seals to get the maximum damage and sustain possible out of Nidalee. There's not much else to say except that conserving mana is a big issue if you don't land spears. So if you find yourself landing very few, stop throwing until you have a clear shot.
Standard AP masteries ensure that you get the maximum possible damage out of your spear. The extra tower damage is always nice to have as well. I can't stress enough that your spear is your most important ability when playing AP Nidalee.
My item build may seem a bit... strange. Or out of order. Or just plain wrong. But it works for me, after many games of experimentation, I find this to work best for me. A quick note on Tear of the Goddess and Seraph's Embrace: If you have full stacks on TotG, don't be afraid to grab Seraph's before other items. Like I mentioned, do what works for you and conform to the game.
Skill Sequence
This is pretty much a no-brainer. Nidalee's spear can get up to 250% of 230 plus 65% of your AP. Long story short, you can take out half of an ADC's health with that kind of damage. I prefer her heal second for the sustain and the amazing attack speed boost it gives. That boost can turn around a fight for an ADC in trouble, never forget about teammates.
Farming is normal last hitting until level 6. Once you hit 6, you can jump in with pounce, damage with swipe, and finish with takedown and auto attacks. If you have lane dominance, your farming will be extremely easy and quick.
Team Work
Like I mentioned before, Nidalee's heal can turn around a 1v1 for an adc, or even yourself. This becomes more effective in teamfights and taking Dragon and Baron. How I like to use Nidalee in a teamfight is to poke once or twice with my spear then run in and finish them off in cougar form. Placing traps around the map can save you and your teammates from some nasty ganks.

I noticed that they are building a Le Cordon Bleu on 635 @ Webb Chapel (on the east bound side). I have not spent much time researching it so forgive me if this is silly question. Do they offer "just for fun" classes?
Has anyone else heard/read about this? I drive by all the time and I think they just put up the sign this week.

Yeah. A couple years ago I quit a job because the racist company wouldn't hire an Indian guy. (normal morality level)
A couple months ago I helped a racist company hire an American guy because he was American. (impaired morality level)
Stay too long and the moral stench of the place rubs off.
Since coming to Beijing I often consider murdering people.
Is that what you mean?
I learnt something new from Mafalda. Maybe he is telling the truth.
Mafalda, I agree with you, with the caveat that it applies to locals, not just foreigners. So, stay away from everyone here, because they're crazy.
Mafalda, from your response I take it that you lived in China for longer than I did.
Most people who aren't from the thrid world would be pretty disgusted by the notion though. How would you feel if no one would hire you because everyone thought of Chinese people as too immoral to work?
I think people's morals are just a reflection of what makes sense to get along in a river crab society. What is moral in the Saudi Kingdom is different from what is moral in PRC is different from what is moral in UK.
Only an asshole would yell out "waiter!" at a London restaurant, but almost all of us have yelled out "服务员!" in a bad Beijing restaurant. Sometimes you even see an uncultured rich peasant yell at a waiter in a good Beijing restaurant where it's not necessary for service.
"If you see yourself acting, speaking and feeling differently, then maybe your morals are not what you thought they were in the first place. "
Well said!
Hahahaha ... I need a 5-min break from work. and I have run out of Kit Kat ...
Till this date, I still think that if I am not and dont look Chinese, I would have got paid better over the years I have been in China, and the bleach from supermarket does not work well ...
I remember we had an interesting discussion here about "服务员" in this forum about one year ago, with the conclusion that most people think it is OK ... I have tried to remind myself not to say that most of the times, and I have done OK, but I cannot escape from the "shoulder" thing and subway gung fu ...
Mafalda ... "racist" had been an issue in China for many, many years (even centuries), though not in the same form you might have heard of ...
My five minute up ...
I find I rape less than I used to
Yeah, but it's got nothing to do with being in Beijing specifically.
Large cities, international cities especially, are perceived as less moral than towns, but it's only because the population fluctuates so much and outsiders are far from the judging eyes of their family and childhood friends. Reputation doesn't matter much under these circumstances.
Absolutely yes!

Complaint Review: HRS USA

HRS USA rip-off Late payment fees *REBUTTAL ..Refund from the U.S. Postal Service!
*0: That is absolutely the MOST inane statement I've ever witnessed. "Refund from the U.S. Postal Service"?
I inquired why, and was informed that I had sent in a change of address form to the postal service (??). I informed the rep that I had not moved in 1 1/2 years, and had received bills at this address two weeks after moving into my current location. He kept stating that I must have changed my address within the last year, and the forwarding address notification must have expired. I finally requested to speak with a manager.
After waiting 15 minutes, I was informed immediately that it is my responsibility to call Best Buy/HRS USA to check to see if payment posted, and if not posted within an acceptable time, I should immediately resend a payment.
When I informed the manager that it was impossible to prove that the mail was returned, she agreed, but insisted I should have called to make sure the payment arrived, or notified them that I had not received a bill. Besides, she informed me that Best Buy is not at fault from delays in recent mail services and perhaps the postal service is at fault, and she recommended that I seek a $29.00 refund from the Postal Service!!
So I will do all I can to send every free dollar to Best Buy/HRS USA, and I will make sure that all soldiers I come into contact with will not purchase anything from Best Buy in the future. This results in at least 40 people a day that I will see in our clinic. God Bless America! Please protect your soldiers!!

That is absolutely the MOST inane statement I've ever witnessed. "Refund from the U.S. Postal Service"? This statement was the result of [1] An attempted inappropriate comedic endeavor (or) [2] A statement issued by someone of incomprehensably stupidity.(or)[3]A thinly desguised effort to
tell you to go to hell in a round-about way.
It's a shame that some people are adept at making such insulting, dumb frigging statements when insulated from personal contact by a telephone.
It's been my experience that when you're toe-to-toe with such people they're not apt to say such things. It sure helps if you're there to tear their throat out in rage and THEY KNOW IT. I have an intense dislike for these people who have two sets of customer interaction; on the 'phone or personal contact. I'll go a loooooong way to settle an issue with these telephone wimps in person. It's usually worth it. (and usually a lot of fun and quite satisfying)

I want to be expert in English language. Someone give me some tips for being expert in English.
Read! Read! Read! It doesn't have to be books on the english language (though one or two may help), reading is a great way to expose yourself more to the english language. A bit of fiction and non-fiction would be helpful. Choose books you know you'll be interested in so that you actually finish them and keep yourself to a schedule. If you have a nook or kindle they have built in dictionaries too, if not keep a laptop or dictionary close by.. Never pass a word without looking up what it means so that you understand the sentence. I hope this tip is helpful. My skills in english increased quite a bit over the past couple years due to all the reading I've been doing.
Watch TV with closed captioning turned on and DVD with your native language as the CC.

Fairy Trees: Trees and Plants Inhabited by the Fay
The Earth's Guardians
The belief that fairies are guardians of Mother Earth is one that permeates both modern day paganism and Celtic history. The fay are seen as residents and valiant protectors of trees, plants, animals, and nature in general. If you are curious as to which trees and plants are the fairies' favorites, I will spell it out for you in this article.
Just a couple things before we get started. Never cut down or take a branch from a fairy tree as it might anger its residents and cause you extra trouble in the near future. Tying ribbons on trees as offerings for the fay is an acceptable and ancient practice, as well as leaving offerings of mead and cakes.
- Fairies: Legends and Lore of the Fairy from Europe
Learn about the legends of the wee folk, the fairies from Europe. Irish Fairies, Scottish Fairies, English Fairies, and Italian Fairies. Learn about the different types of fairies of legend in Europe.
- How to Attract Fairies Using Fairy Houses and Fairy ...
So you're ready to learn how to attract fairies to your home or garden? There is more than one way to attract fairies to your home or garden, including using fairy offerings, a fairy house for the garden, and even a fairy chant
Fairy Trees: Hawthorn
Every friend of the fairies knows that hawthorn is especially sacred to the fay. In many places in Europe, people were discouraged from even touching this fairy tree out of reverence for its magickal inhabitants. Hawthorn trees are considered a part of the fairy tree triad next to oak and ash. They are thought to be particularly important to the fay because they are a representation of the three realms - underworld, middleworld, and upperworld. This also coincides with the pagan beliefs in the triple goddess - the maiden, mother, and crone.
Hawthorn can be seen around many holy wells in Europe, particularly in Ireland and England. White hawthorn is said to be a favorite of the good fay, and some say that witches plant hedgerows of hawthorn near their homes to protect them from ill will and nosy neighbors. This fairy tree has gotten a bad rap throughout the years as it was so important to the ancient Celtic people that when the Church arose in Europe they wanted to eradicate the old Pagan ways, and this tree was one that they tried to make look evil. There are even legends circulating that the crown of thorns that was placed on Jesus' head was made of Hawthorn, though there is no scientific nor written evidence that this legend is true and could very well be propaganda used by the Church against the fairy tree Hawthorn. The Church probably also didn't like the fact that the Hawthorn tree was used during the pagan festival of Beltane, a fertility festival that celebrated the union of the god and goddess.
If you're lucky enough to find a Hawthorn fairy tree, leave an offering at the base of the tree or tie ribbons in its branches as gifts for the fay.
Fairy Trees: Oak
The Oak tree was the most sacred to the ancient Celtic Druids. It was mighty and steadfast, and it seemed to whisper the forest's secrets to the reverent priests. The oak was also a favorite of the fairies, and it is considered a part of the fairy tree triad along with Hawthorn and Ash. Oak groves were particularly sacred to the Druids, and every tribe was thought to have one particular Oak tree that they considered a talisman or protector of sorts. And of course, the fairies were thought to live in the oak trees, specifically the tree fairies who gave their wisdom to the Druids.
Oak is a fairy tree that was used in ancient Pagan festivals specifically for the Winter Solstice. This fairy tree was traditionally used as the material for the Yule log and is still used today. Oak trees are still prominent in many countries and are quiet but strong trees. I've always had an affinity towards oak trees, and I've always used their acorns in magick and decorating. I also liked the idea that the oak tree is sacred to the Celtic Irish god Dagda. He was one of the Tuatha de dannaan, ancient Celtic gods who many people associate with the fairies (some believe they were fairies themselves).
Fairy Trees: Ash
The ash tree is the third and final of the fairy tree triad, and again is one of the trees that was considered sacred to the ancient Celts. Many people believed that the ash tree was also special to the fairies, while some believed the ash tree could keep the fairies away. Some folklore says that a sapling of an ash tree hung over where a baby sleeps will protect the baby from witchcraft.
The ash tree was regarded as sacred to the ancient Celts, so much so that many would refuse to cut it down even if they had no other means of wood for a fire. If you have an ash tree in your yard, or in your neighborhood, do everything you can to protect it. This fairy tree might be the residence of some very friendly fairies. If you protect their residence, they might indeed return the favor and protect yours.

Fairy Trees: Willow
When I was a little girl, there was a weeping willow tree down the street from where I lived. I could never play under it, as it was on someone else's property but I always longed to. Dreams would fill my sleep with images of lying under that willow tree, and they were very magical dreams indeed. I always pictured fairies playing in the willow tree's branches, dancing with the swaying of its long leaves. Unbeknownst to be at the time, the weeping willow tree is actually native to China and is usually only cultivated here in the United States as an ornamental tree. But guess what? There are fairies in Chinese folklore (and in Chinese trees), too.
The willow tree is another of the sacred Celtic trees and a part of the Ogham alphabet. In moist soil, a fallen willow tree branch can grow a whole new willow tree. Because of its ability to grow from a fallen branch, this fairy tree was long considered the perfect representation of immortality or reincarnation. Many fairies are thought to live in the willow tree's branches, while some only believe that the willow tree can be inhabited by one type of fairy - cleverly called the "willow fairy" (original, right?) Teresa Moorey writes in her Fairy Bible that the Willow Fairy is extremely wise, but it is also not always friendly to humans.
If you are walking in the woods and find a circle of Willow Trees, you may have stumbled across a fairy circle. Don't linger in the circle for too long, lest you be taken by the fairies for good!
More Fairy Trees & Plants
Because fairies are the guardians and growers of the earth, you could probably find a fairy in or around almost every tree or plant in existence. Some believe that the plants and trees' spirits are able to shift into various forms hence giving us the belief and stories of fairies. Are the fairies separate entities that guard the trees and plants or are they indeed the trees' spirits themselves?
While we've covered four of the main fairy trees in Celtic lore, we have not covered all of the sacred Celtic trees nor have we covered a majority of the fairy plants. There are dozens more fairy trees and plants. Mistletoe, Holly, toadstools (yes I know they're a fungus), flowers of various kinds, and many different herbs are also thought to house fairies. The moral of the story is to be as kind and protectant of nature as you can. If you have to take something from a fairy tree or plant, please leave something in return. The more you show an appreciation for nature, the more the fairies will warm up to you.

I was just thinking how a lot of fairies that may have been living here in NJ are perhaps now a little ticked off because many of their homes have been toppled by high wind and then heavy snow! Perhaps they will help us when we replant new trees! Thanks for the hub, kitty! I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I do pretty much everything you write! Voted up, beautiful, useful and interesting!
I glad I read this because I was planning to cut my big oak tree down until I read all this information about fairies and trees.
what would be a good offering? and that fairy visited me last night and told me to stop something from happening... i have a feeling i know what i must do...
uh kitty you are not going to like this (and neither do I) but i hear chain saws right now and there is only two types of tree in my neighborhood and one of them is ash... they are building more and more houses and killing more and more trees (ash trees)... what can i do to stop them???
Always a pleasure to read one of your hubs. Sorry about your illness, but happy the herbal remedy is helping out. Great information about the fay. Like always, another great job!
A great hub with lots of information I didn't know about the relationship between trees and fairies. Thank you!
Up in our woods, we have a huge tree with a hallow in the base; next to that, a small hawthorn bush grows next to it. I've always this area was magical and belongs to the "wee folk". I leave offerings like gem stones and food in the hallow and my offerings are always gone by the time I come back.
This was a great hub; it reaffirmed what I knew about relationship between fairies and trees, and I learned some new things too! BB
What a lovely hub to wake up to and loved the photos.

Two Swiss businessmen detained in Libya amid a diplomatic row with Bern will go on trial before the end of the year.Tripoli – Two Swiss businessmen barred from leaving Libya since July 2008 amid a diplomatic row with Bern are to go on trial later this year for tax evasion and over immigration laws, a senior official said on Thursday.
"The two Swiss citizens will be tried before the end of the year," Khaled Kaim, the deputy Libyan minister of foreign affairs, told a news conference.
He said the two men are charged with fiscal fraud and with violating immigration laws as well as trade regulations, in the latest twist to a 15-month standoff between Bern and Tripoli.
But they must leave the Swiss embassy where they have sought refuge and seek a private address in order to be served with notice that they will be put on trial, Kaim said.
"In line with the law, they must have an address so that justice can be carried out," Kaim said. "They can go back to their homes (in Tripoli) or to a hotel but they must leave the embassy."
Max Goldi, a senior manager at the Swedish–Swiss engineering giant ABB, and fellow Swiss Rashid Hamdani, who works for a small construction firm, were arrested in July 2008 in a tit-for-tat measure after the brief arrest in Geneva of one of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's sons, Hannibal Kadhafi, and his wife.
Libya initially refused the two men exit visas and charged them with alleged immigration offences but they were later released on bail and allowed to stay at the Swiss embassy.
In August, they were due to be flown home under a deal struck by Bern and Tripoli.
But instead the two went missing in mid-September after they were invited out of the Swiss embassy for a medical check-up and were returned only on Monday.
Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey has accused Libyan authorities of "kidnapping" them.
But Kaim denied they had been abducted and told AFP earlier on Thursday that the pair had been "transferred" out of the embassy amid reports a commando operation was being planned to free them.
"The two Swiss nationals were not kidnapped nor did they go missing," Kaim said. "Their transfer was decided following reports in the Swiss media that a commando operation might be launched to free them."
He said Libya had sent a diplomatic note to the Swiss embassy in Tripoli informing it that the men were to be transferred.
"We also asked the Libyan charge d'affaires in Bern to ask for explanations and a denial of the reports of a commando operation but the Swiss authorities refused to respond," he added.
Their ordeal began after Hannibal Kadhafi and his wife were briefly arrested in a Geneva luxury hotel over allegations that the couple had mistreated two servants.
That arrest in July 2008 triggered a bitter diplomatic row between Bern and Tripoli, which launched a series of retaliatory sanctions, including a freeze on some business ties with Switzerland.
Tripoli and Bern have tried to patch their differences and Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz earlier this year made a controversial apology over the Kadhafi arrests.
Kaim said Bern must "stop politicising this case in order not to jeopardise the situation" of the Swiss businessmen.
"I don't understand why the Swiss government and press insist on linking a court case to the diplomatic row," he said.
On Wednesday, Hamdani's wife urged Libya to free her husband in statements on Swiss television. "I urge the Kadhafi family to show its human side ... and to return my husband to me," she said.

Radioactive rods found, after alert
Sat., Nov. 27, 2010
WASHINGTON – A shipment of radioactive rods used in medical equipment that went missing on Thanksgiving Day was found Friday in Tennessee by the shipping company FedEx.
While the materials posed little threat to the public, experts say the misplaced shipment underscores the need to track low-hazard materials that could be used in small-scale terrorist attacks.
The rods are used to calibrate quality control in CT scans and contained little energy and a low concentration of radiation, according to Sandra Munoz, FedEx spokesperson. The shipment was sent from Fargo, N.D., and was reported missing at its destination in Knoxville, Tenn. FedEx alerted all of its U.S. stations about the missing shipment.
The shipment was found at a FedEx station in Knoxville, Munoz said. The shipping label was missing from the outer box. All the rods were intact and no FedEx employees were exposed to radiation.
Three shipments of radioactive rods were mailed earlier this week. The recipient notified FedEx when only two containers arrived in Knoxville, Munoz said.
The rods were packed in a metal cylinder, known as a pig, which weighs about 20 pounds and is about 10 inches long.
As long as no one tried to open the pig, the rods did not pose a threat, Munoz said.
While it was unlikely anyone could have used the rods to create a serious weapon, low-hazard materials are becoming more attractive to terrorists who are less interested in Sept. 11-scale attacks and more interested in creating fear and economic damage, according to Edwin Lyman, senior staff scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit based in Cambridge, Mass.
Low-hazard materials are targeted by terrorist groups because they are not as closely regulated and are easier to obtain than high-hazard materials like plutonium, Lyman said. Low-hazard materials, often used in medical equipment, can be used to create "dirty bombs" that cause fewer casualties but create a "shock to the system." Dirty bombs spray hazardous materials when they explode.
"The issue is what would happen if some evildoer acquired this thing," said John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, a military information website.
"Could these rods be used as part of a good plan? I don't think so," Pike said. "But if we look around over the past several years we're not seeing very many good plans. We're seeing plans where somebody is trying to set his underwear on fire."

I was irritated with a letter that argued that a longer school year could improve the United States' ranking internationally ["Making up missed school," Nov. 20.] I have studied on fellowship in several Asian and European countries, and I can tell you that just increasing the number of days in the school year is not a panacea.
At the core of American society is a multicultural mosaic of immigrants. Some school systems have as many as 40 languages being spoken. Clearly, our European and Asian counterparts do not have this hurdle.
Current thinking is that all students should graduate with a Regents diploma. This is noble but not realistic. Japan, China and South Korea do just the opposite. Students in these societies are grouped by ability beginning as early as seventh grade.
Let us also not forget another significant segment of our school population: students with special needs. Here, too, our global competitors "weed out" this population.
