There are several ways that you can contribute to the Quarterly:
- If there are features or columns that you'd like to see, but that don't fit the existing format, please let the Editor know what you have in mind.
- If you are aware of particular projects that should be covered, or particular people who would write good articles, please let the Editor know. (We just need a name and affiliation/e-mail address or URL).
- If you would like to write an article about your own work, please get in touch. If your proposal is accepted, you will be asked to submit according to the deadlines and submissions guidelines below
- If you would like to write a book review, or plan to submit a conference report, please get in touch.
The AISBQ is issued in the first week of the quarter (January, April, July, October). Whatever you would like to contribute, the list below explains roughly when we need your input for a particular edition.
For the exact dates, please contact the Editor.
Author/project suggestions
Deadline: 12 weeks from issue.
Article submission deadline
Deadline: 7 weeks in from issue.
Submission Style / LaTeX
Submission should be made using the tailored LaTeX template.
If you'd like to submit your work in other formats, please get in touch with the editor.
Submission Length
- Announcements: up to 2 pages
- Short pieces: up to 4 pages
- Longer pieces: up to 10 pages
Please note that limits apply 'normally' and we have the scope to accept longer articles as an exception, for which please contact the editor of the Q.
Suggested Structure
Your article should be aimed at people within Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour but who are not in your particular discipline. Bear in mind that this includes a very disparate collection of people: some will have computer science backgrounds, some electrical and electronic engineering, others cognitive science, psychology or medicine. The article should:
- Explain the application and context of your work in the wider sense
- Focus on it's position within your general discipline
- Explain the actual project in general terms
- Describe the results and conclude
If you plan to write a book review or conference report for us, please first contact the editor to make sure that the subject matter is of sufficient general interest. Before you write, make sure you know about deadlines, read the guidance below for the particular type of report you have in mind, and make sure to look at submissions guidelines so that you send things in the right format.
Writing Conference Reports
You may be asked to write a conference report in order to receive a travel award, or you may simply wish to write one. Either way, it is crucial that you contact the Editor as far in advance of the actual meeting as possible (up to three months before) to aid planning. It is also crucial that you are especially aware of deadlines, and negotiate new ones if necessary. Our goal is to print conference reports (ie. for them to appear in an issue that is actually published) within four months of the meeting, which means that we may have to stretch deadlines at certain times of year.
In addition you should consider the following:
- Your report must be 900 words or less.
- You should do one of the following with your report:
Describe the three most interesting projects you were introduced to at the meeting (you will have to get copies of the papers for this) and explain why you found them compelling. These projects should not only be interesting from the perspective of your particular sub-discipline, but should be set in a slightly wider context. You may need to fill in this context yourself.
Describe a research trend that became apparent through attending the conference. Explain what it was and describe how various papers (say 6-8) supported this trend.
Describe a new topic that has emerged recently, giving details of three papers in the meeting you attended as examples of this topic.
If you have another idea for the report, feel free to discuss it with the Editor.
Make sure to start the article explaining the content (essentially, this is a newswriting sytle). First lines might include "[This] research trend emerged...", "[Three interesting projects] were presented...", "[This] new area of research is emerging...". The details of the where and when of the conference are less important, and should go towards the end of the first paragraph or later.
Please note that the reader is not generally interested in issues relating to the atmosphere, the hard work of the organizers, the beauty of the location, the way the structure of the meeting worked, and so forth. Unless you feel that your meeting was an exceptional case for some reason (contact he Editor in advance if this applies), you should mention these issues in passing, if at all.
What is most useful is information about the work, research trends and ideas.
Writing Book Reviews
There are several things to keep in mind when writing a book review:
We only plan to run one page of book reviews per issue, so any review should either be no more than 900 words long (full page), or about 400 words long (half page). Let the Editor know in advance before you write anything, both to save space for a particular issue and to allow planning of a second book review where appropriate.
Book reviews should fall into one of two categories:
a) Quite positive reviews of good books published in the last year or two. (The more recent the better). These can be on any topic, including sub-disciplines, but must be at a level that,say, an entry-level postgraduate student could understand. If you're not sure, ask the Editor.
b) Reviews (whether positive or negative) of books recent books that can't be ignored. Such books are likely to be more general in nature. The idea is that it is not productive to run negative reviews of obscure books.
In addition, all reviews must be signed, with a short bio and URL of the author supplied.
The AISB is sent books to review, which we make available first to the Editorial Board, then to the membership. A list is available here.
If you wish to review one of the books below, please contact the Editors by sending an email to aisbqXX at aisb dot org dot uk where XX are the last two digits in the year.
Importantly: Only AISB members will be sent books for review. If you subsequently decided that you cannot review the book, either because of time constraints or because you are otherwise prevented from doing it according to the guidelines, then you must let the Editors know as soon as possible. It will then go back on the list to be reviewed. If someone else wishes to review it, you will be expected to send the book to them directly. In addition to reading the guidelines before starting your review, make sure you know about deadlines, types of reports and formats.

Slang for somebody who smokes cannabis, often. Most people would talk them down as if they are better, though they often consume poisons such as alcohol and caffeine. Stoners are generally a friendly minority, peaceful, and harmless. The arrogant people bitching about them smoking marijuana, they are usually bigger problems then the people they denounce.
Darn, those stoners are lucky they got high before seeing Lord Of The Rings.
by A.E. December 29, 2003
Someone who smokes a lot of weed. You can't really classify a stoner by how much weed they smoke, but rather their mindset about smoking. A stoner would much rather spend a Friday night getting high rather than goin out. They also smoke weed every availible opportunity.
I am a stoner.
by 9 May 19, 2004
someone who smokes marijuana, but doesnt go around and tell everybody and is all like look at me im cool. they dont talk about it, and they dont push it on other people. if you dont want to do it, thats cool. if you do, come over to my place tonite.
look at that guy, hes such a stoner!
by sam October 14, 2004
a verry peaceful person who smokes weed often. and is often talked down on by retarded ass people who drink,smoke fags,pop diet pills and cheat their lives away by thinking that their athletic skills and good looks are actually going to mean a goddamn after they find out that life actually gets hard and that their parents money wont buy them happiness
wow....that stoner actually has a good job,makes more money than i do and doesnt really have to work hard...other than me who thought that my football skills would get me a job and im stuck working the drive through at taco bell at 28
by a stoner March 15, 2004
A stoner is someone who likes the smoke from the sacred herb.
Stoners of the world unite.
by DeRez September 09, 2004
Someone who enjoys somking ganja on a regular basis. Stoners aren't scummy people. Anyone who looks down on stoner needs to go to hell. They're peaceful and have more of an appreciation for music and relaxing than most of the population. They also tend to be broke...a lot...
He's a Stona' ked, Yeah Ked...
by Rifffffff May 13, 2004
a person who enjoys the high that marijuana, canabis, or hash. Stoners are normally happyer, less violent people who have a better appreciation for life. Some people seem to blame them for the down fall of society, ironically those are the people causeing the down fall because of beliefs that money is more important then joy or life.
marijuana causes a happy fealing meaning stoners are happy and not violent people. Some one need to get george bush stoned.

Post subject: Working up an assignment for the fall semester
Well, I just turned in grades for the spring semester, summer school starts next week, and here I am already thinking about the fall.
This fall, I'll be teaching a humanities course called "Technology & Society" that examines the effect of new technologies on society and the effect society has on the direction new technologies take. This will be the first time in three years I've taught the class, so I'm kind of starting over from scratch.
One of my favorite units is the one on mass communication and I've traditionally had my students listen to some OTR programs as part of it. I always play the Orson Welles
War of the Worlds
broadcast in class and have them do some listening on their own as well.
In the past, I've just given them URLs of a couple of OTR sites, including this one, and let them hunt on their own, but I get the impression that many of the just blow the listening assignment off. This time, I'm planning on policing it a little tighter, giving them a specific written assignment on OTR and placing a half-dozen episodes from different series and genres on our Moodle classroom management site or preferably some external site from which they can download and listen.
So what I'd like are suggestions of one or two half-hour episodes of a comedy show, a variety show, a mystery/suspense show, a western, a horror and/or sci-fi show, other genres?
What do you think of having an episode of
as one of the choices? About half of my students are African American. Would this be too offensive?
Anybody know of a free hosting service I could use to house these episodes where students could have one- or two-click access to them?

Hiya Human!
Amos 'n' Andy might be touchy but you could explain to them that A&A was VERY popular among all parts of American society, including African Americans.
Anyone who love wordplay would appreciate a 1940's episode of Fibber McGee and Molly (almost any episode) but my personal favorite is, "Pot Roast."
Our Miss Brooks i
s about High School, so the kids might click with that - and
Halls of Ivy
is about college (a very progressive show in the 190's) and that might relate to it.
Baby Snooks
(the short segments that are available - not the full show) is another show I would point out to someone to listen to.

Cool assignment!
Maybe some Great Gildersleeve? Personally, I think family aspect of that show would resonate really well with young people today (IE: Gildy's tribulations trying to raise Leroy and Marjorie). I find it's one of the best produced shows as well.

Hi Human,
Why not have them recreate an episode of an OTR program in the classroom? Have them record it as it is being performed so the class can see and hear how complex it was to actually put such a production together back then. Just a thought. I don't know if it is practical or not.

That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's really within the scope of the course, which examines how society affects and is affected by technological change. Now, if this were a communication class, that would definitely be a great exercise.

Well it would illustrate the technology that went into the creation of the programs. The invention of radio did have a deep impact on the world back then. Not only could you read about important events you could even hear them as well. Now days we take such and being able to see events as they unfold for granted but back then it was different. And one of the reasons the WOTW broadcast caused such havoc was because people believed the broadcast was real news. Just a thought though.

I got access to my Moodle (classroom management system) sites for the fall this week and I've now built my OTR listening assignment. I've got direct links to seven episodes for them to download and listen to. I'm only requiring them to listen to two and write about the experience. The final selections are:
Jack Benny
--"Jack Test Drives a Car"
Fibber McGee & Molly
--"Pot Roast"
--"How to Die for Nothing"
The Green Hornet
--"Too Hot to Handle"
Mystery in the Air
--"The Black Cat"
--"Sorry, Wrong Number"
X-Minus One
--"The Veldt"
I'm still going back and forth about including an episode of Amos 'n' Andy, but I've got a couple of months to make a final decision.
In class, I'm going to play the Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" broadcast. I think this is going to be fun and I hope the students enjoy it.
I wasn't sure about hosting the shows on the college's servers, so I came up with a fairly ingenious alternative. I uploaded them to Google Docs and made them public documents. They can download them in two clicks. They can click on the title of the show in Moodle and then click the download link in Google Docs. Once downloaded, they can play the file in iTunes or WinAmp or whatever.
For what it's worth, I also included a plug for mysteryshows.com on the assignment sheet. Maybe one or two of them will be inspired to check it out.

It looks like it just lasted about a year on the air at most too so it's not like there are a large number of episodes like with Dragnet or Gunsmoke either. Still from the description of the show it does sound interesting.

One thing I tried during a seminar on diversity was play part of an episode of Amos and Andy and compare that to an episode of Lum and Abner.
The two are very similar when you get past the obvious racial differences.

IMO, a better coimparison to A&A is The Life of Riley.
Lum and Abner are not trying to scam anybody
let's not drag them through the mud!
However, Gillis is always scheming and Riley is just naive - much like Amos and Andy/Kingfish.

And the formula went on into movies and TV as well. Laurel & Hardy, Ralph and Ed (the Honeymooners), Fred & Barney. Of course Abbott & Costello also had some of that same formula too. At least Costello always seemed to get the worst of things. lol.

INTERPOL chief commends Bulgaria on the work of its police in fighting transnational organized crime
SOFIA, Bulgaria – INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble has complimented Bulgaria's Ministry of Interior and police in fighting all forms of serious crime and has called for a renewed global effort by INTERPOL member countries to help Bulgaria identify those behind the terrorist bombing attack on an Israeli tour bus in Burgas in August which left six dead and more than 30 injured.
Following Mr Noble's meeting with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov in the capital Sofia today, it was also announced that INTERPOL will provide support to Bulgarian authorities in expanding access to its Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database to tourist destinations across the country.
This will enable real-time checks to be conducted against the database, which currently contains nearly 35 million entries from 166 countries, to verify whether an individual is travelling on a fraudulent document, or is wanted internationally.
"This joint project between the Bulgarian Interior Ministry and INTERPOL is aimed at improving the security of resorts and holiday complexes, which is very important for Bulgaria," said Deputy Prime Minister Tsvetanov.
"To effectively combat crime and protect its citizens and visitors, countries need the assistance and support of their partners around the world and Bulgaria will continue to work closely with INTERPOL in continuing this cooperation," added the Minister.
Commending the Bulgarian authorities for the proposed expansion of INTERPOL's services, Secretary General Noble said: "Since attending the 2003 INTERPOL General Assembly as the Secretary General of the Ministry of Interior, Prime Minister Borissov has repeatedly shown his support to international law enforcement, and the decision to make INTERPOL's vital policing tools even more accessible is another example of his commitment to the safety and security of citizens and visitors to Bulgaria."
The Head of INTERPOL added that the world police body would continue to offer its full support to the investigation into the Burgas terrorist bombing attack.
In addition to publishing a computer-generated image of the suspected terrorist, at the request of Bulgarian police INTERPOL has issued a Black Notice – used to seek information about unidentified corpses – to all of its 190 National Central Bureaus worldwide in all four official languages, and also made public the driving licence photo and computer-generated image of his suspected accomplice.
"Despite the efforts of the Bulgarian authorities who have been working closely with INTERPOL and the other involved countries, nearly four months after this appalling attack, the man who murdered five Israelis and a Bulgarian has still not been identified. Law enforcement and the public must do more if those responsible are to be brought to justice," concluded the INTERPOL Chief.
During his mission to Sofia, Secretary General Noble also visited the International Operational Cooperation Department and met with staff at the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Sofia.
- Bulgaria asks INTERPOL member countries to publish image of terrorist bus bombing suspect
- INTERPOL publishes images of alleged bus bombing accomplice at request of Bulgaria

In the junior 10-12 men's race, Matteo Jorgenson (Boise Young Riders Dev Squad) earned a Stars-and-Stripes after out-riding the rest of the field. "I was second wheel going into the puddlely, muddy section," recalled Jorgenson. "I decided to make an attack on the grass. On the pavement I just drilled it and tried to get the biggest gap I could."
Gage Hecht (International Christian Cycling Club) edged out runner-up Karch Miller (Davis Bike Club) to win the junior 13-14 race. "It was a very tough race, so slick, and the competition was amazingly hard," said Hecht.
Hecht was off the front with Miller closing in on him when he crashed on the final lap. "It was very slick and muddy. I crashed and then I didn't think I was going to catch him because he was just going so fast but I finally caught him on the bottom of the staircase."
After his win, a humble Hecht said "I didn't think I was going to do as well as I did."
Logan Owen claimed his sixth straight national title after winning the junior 15-16 event. "Got a good start – clean – and after that just rode away," said Owen after the final race of the morning session.
"I didn't get the holeshot, I was going to try to get the holeshot, I let the other kids pull my weight until we got to the pavement on the back section, then I took off after that and pulled away instantly." Owen said.
Owen was one of the few riders to be able to ride up the crumbling runup section. He had scoped it out before hand. "I knew that was going to be a game changer and obviously it was because I opened up twenty seconds on the first lap on that."
Once he was off the front, there was no looking back. "I knew I had it, I feel like I am one of the strongest out there, I was very confident in my ability to win,"

This you can easily do by keeping up to date with the latest news, etc. Since all auto trading robots work technically and follow a certain code of action, they will most likely not be able to evaluate the human aspect of the market fluctuations.

Hey everybody!
Some amazing work on the Map Gallery lately. Just keeps getting better and better and is quite exhilarating to see all the talent out there in our niche field of map illustration and cartography. So, to keep the love alive in sharing our work here is a little doozy I've whipped up between projects. This is something I'm doing on my own through my own firm Karpovage Creative. Been chipping away at it for a couple of months now here and there when not working on contract mapformation.com clients or promoting my new novel Crown of Serpents (clever shameless promotion ) or just needing an escape from all of the political crap in our country. My ultimate goal is to illustrate the entire historic district of Savannah, GA, then turn it into a poster with labels, historical text, factoids, photography, border treatments, etc. to potentially sell retail to the tourism market. It's a BIG project but I'm giving myself until the end of 2010 to finish her up and see what happens.
Typical of my work, this is all drawn in Photoshop with a Wacom pen and tablet and based on many, print, photos, and online reference material. I'll be visiting for the 3rd time again in February to take ground photography and do historical research.
What you see here is the immediate foreground to the large, overall historic district. River Street is THE main tourist attraction in Savannah, GA - which was just ranked as one of the top 10 must visit tourism cities in North America. I put the website together for free using Wix.com in just an afternoon. It's just a placeholder for now. Click on the buildings and a larger blow up in detail will come up. Click again to get back to the main image.
I still have to add a few more tour boats and a tall sailing ship to the river and maybe a few more pleasure craft. Anyway, nuff ramblin' .............let me know what you think so far.
Jan-15-2013 Note: the original sample link for River Street on this post I mistakenly deleted - this link is the new finished map link. ~ Michael

Home » Library » ARTEFACTS OF AUSTRALIAN EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC 1930-1973
An important collection, not least for the oldest track, dated 1930, by the very elusive Jack Ellitt. If this dating is true, here is a genuinely groundbreaking work. Ellitt, who at this time was making soundtracks for the New Zealand abstract film-maker Len Lye - and whose later work was done for the most part privately, even secretly, to be tragically lost after his death in 2001 - has produced here musique concrete 29 years ahead of time. Presumably done on optical soundtrack (like its contemporary, Ruttman's 'Weekend') this is abstract, manipulated sound. The CD continues with a 1951 recording of Percy Grainger's 'Free Music' machines, a snatch of the Melbourne Dada Group (including Barry Humphries) and 11 more fascinating extracts of work by people most of us have never heard of - and whose inclusion here makes a very important contribution to the library of musical experimentation of the period. Importantly, not only electronic music is collected, but also small ensemble compositions operating far from the mainstream of contemporary music - even at this time. For instance McKim's 'Monotony for 8 trumpets' or Cantrill's 'Soundtrack for Elkon' are properly experimental compositions, while Nagorcka follows Cage with a piece solely for televisions, record players and radios. This is an important - and an enjoyable - document, with a useful booklet and offers a timely reminder of where we were 30 years ago, putting today's offerings into perspective.L

Obviously tuned N63's won't be quite as quick as the F10 M5 due to not having the dual clutch transmission but the N63 is at least approaching the stock horsepower levels of the S63tu in the M5 and M6 which is quite impressive. The motor also has a lot more left in it with additional bolt on hardware and that is before turbo/manifold upgrades come into the picture.
We are not sure why this car is putting out more power than Jimefam's 6-Speed car with downpipes. We will get clarification from Velos shortly on if these numbers are with downpipes as well or higher octane fuel. Regardless, this is a new record and shows what the N63 is capable of with proper tuning. Remote tuning is still not yet an option on these cars and they must be done at the Velos Designwerks facility.

Yasiel Puig hires full-time driver after second arrest for speeding
We won't need to be yelling at Yasiel Puig to slow down anymore. Not behind the wheel, at least. The base paths? That remains to be seen.
Puig has hired his cousin as a full-time driver following his arrest for reckless driving on Dec. 28. Puig was clocked driving 110 mph in Florida where the speed limit is 70 mph. His mother was in the car at the time, a fact that was at the center of the dashboard cam video of Puig's arrest.
The news that Puig is relinquishing his keys comes from Los Angeles Dodgers president Stan Kasten, who talked to Puig on Thursday and relayed word through 710 ESPN in Los Angeles.
"I give him credit for taking that step if nothing else," Kasten said, during the radio interview.
Puig has a previous speeding arrest from April 2013. He was caught driving 97 mph in a 50 mph zone at 1 a.m. in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he was playing for the Dodgers' Double-A team. The charges were later dismissed. Kasten recalled his dialog with Puig after that incident:
"I sat him down myself when that happened and made it clear what we expect of him," Kasten said. "I said then that, even if he thinks he can get away with it because he's in Chattanooga, if you ever get to the big leagues, nothing -- nothing -- is going to escape attention. He brought that up to me today."
A driver is a good step in the Dodgers' ongoing efforts to tame Yasiel Puig. Maybe they can convince him to hire a full-time cut-off man next?

Reviews of this property
Me and my girlfriend stayed here from 3/9 to 10/9.
At our arrival the apartment was very clean and neat. The owners Ivan and Mira was very friendly. They did not speak any english so a woman, Flora, helped them to help us with everything we wanted to ask about. She was really super and provided us with tons of information and gave us good local tips.
The only minus is that the wi-fi didn't work well. It was NOT good enough for online studies.
If you are in no need for a good internet connection, this is the place to stay at! It's small, but very cozy.
Thanks Ivan, Mira & Flora for a lovely staying!
/Eric & Ellen
Nos costo mucho llegar ya que el sobe/apart, esta en una callejuela dentro de un callejon. La ubicacion en si no es mala, pero encontrarlo es dificil ya que no esta indicado. La cosa es que los dueños no saben nada de ingles y fue una odisea encontrarlo, menos mal de un taxista.Se anuncia como aprtamento pero es una habitacion, con el aire acondicionado encima del cabezal de la cama y un baño acoplado en donde la pica de lavarse las manos esta dentro de la ducha.
Es split y es caro, pero estuvimos en otros apartamentos que por el mismo precio no tenian comparacion.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We recommend Mira and Ivan´s place. A modern, clean and comfortable apartment just by the city centre, located at the end of a quiet pathway just by the old city which really gives the feel of Splits old town. Mira and Ivan are truly great hosts. We felt very welcome, they assisted us in any way they could and provided us with insight to the city and were always willing to give us a hand when needed. Thank you for a fantastic stay.
Very nice studio, near the center of Split and 5 minutes walking from the beach.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped.
The owner are very kind. If we return to Split we will come back to Estudio Karla!
We feel like in our home:)

... as to which video card to get.
Building a Shuttle XPC system, model SN45G w/Barton 2500+ and various other tidbits. I just cannot decide which video card to get! I am not a serious gamer, but I do play the following a bit:
Motocross Madness 2
Kids hammer the computer with simple games as well. Currently, my Radeon 9000 Pro runs everything fine for me. I would like the shuttle system to be better, but I have always tried to limit the video card expense to the low end. Seems the "SE" series of cards sucks for the most part. And I do not think the PNY GeForce FX5200 that I looked at today would be better than my R9000 Pro...
So what do I do guys? Here is whats important:
Quiet operation (XPC will be on desktop)
Fit into XPC
Low cost (as in $175 or below)
Low power consuption
Did I say low cost?
Looking at the following cards, in order of cost, low cost to higher cost:
FX 5200 ($70 after rebate, cheap card!)
What else should I look at? Would like to stay with a well known company that stands behind its products as well.
What would you buy ?????
Opinions please!

The Tank that player's fell in love with in the 90's is back!
The HyzerBomb Tank - Base-Soft is a beginner friendly stable putt and approach disc that is softer and more flexible than the Panzer Tank. It boasts a broad sided, chain blasting profile with an extra wide patented secure Thumtrac® grip. The rim is beefed up for a heavy duty feel that makes the disc 'hover-stop-drop'. Ideal for treacherous approach shots. Released with power, this disc will hold a straight line with very little glide giving you control on short to mid range shots. Not as good in the wind as the Panzer. Beginner friendly.
Available in Base-Soft plastic in weights 170-175 grams.
This R-pro like putter blend is soft and flexible, similar to the Millennium Super Soft plastic.

California schools continued their steady gains in achievement, and for the first time more than half of them met the state's target score, according to California's annual index of school achievement released Thursday.
As always, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Contra Costa county schools in general outperformed state averages. The statewide numbers offered some encouraging trends: Black and Latino students made greater gains than did white and Asian students but still lag far behind in scores. The scores for the 2011-12 school year are based on standardized tests administered last spring.
But the slew of scores released also highlighted the stark divergence between state and federal scores. Even while more schools are meeting state targets, more of them are missing federal ones. That's because the state measures year-to-year improvement in achievement, while the federal system looks only at proficiency, or how many children are at or above grade level. And its demands for the proportion of students expected to meet that benchmark rise steeply every year. For 2011-12, about 78 percent of students had to test proficient in math and English.
By the standards of the No Child Left Behind Act, only 26 percent of California schools met federal targets. That's a drop from 35 percent last year, largely because that target was raised by 11 percentage points last year. In two years, by 2013-14, the federal government expects all California students to test proficient in English and math — a goal widely considered to be unrealistic.
Bruce Fuller, a professor of education and public policy at UC Berkeley, said he considered the failure counts to be "next to meaningless" as the student proficiency bar slides swiftly upward. Meanwhile, other states have received waivers from the rigidity of the decade-old federal law. It's become so common for schools to miss the federal benchmarks, he said, that the law "has collapsed under its own weight."
In contrast, by California standards, 59 percent of elementary schools, 49 percent of middle schools and 30 percent of high schools score at or above the state's target of 800 on the 200-to-999 Academic Performance Index.
"We've set a high bar for schools, and they have more than met the challenge, despite the enormous obstacles that years of budget cuts have put in their way," state Superintendent of Schools Tom Torlakson said in a prepared statement. "While there's still more work to do, California's schools have earned a vote of confidence."
Schools that miss their federal goals are placed in a category called Program Improvement, which comes with various sanctions. Once falling into PI, as it's known, it's difficult to climb out. For example, in 2011-12 in Alameda County, only a handful of schools managed to escape PI, including two in Berkeley and one in Hayward. At the same time, about 20 were added to the watch list for missing the increasingly stringent federal proficiency goals for two straight years.
In Oakland, that status is now shared by schools that have received state or national recognition for their work to close the achievement gap, including Think College Now Elementary, Montera Middle School, KIPP Bridge, Manzanita SEED Elementary and Greenleaf Elementary.
Parvin Ahmadi, superintendent of Pleasanton schools, has found herself in a perplexing, but increasingly common, spot. Her district's African American, Latino and English learner students' results soared this year, and the school system's overall score rose to an impressive 915. Yet on Thursday, Pleasanton appeared on the list of districts in need of improvement under the No Child Left Behind Act.
Ahmadi said everyone saw this coming; for years, educators have waited for Congress to reauthorize the decade-old federal accountability law in a way that's less rigid.
"We're still waiting for that," she said.

Tom Hoefling on Government:
"Just as 'good fences make for good neighbors,' good government is mainly about knowing where the legitimate boundaries are, and having the courage to defend those borders forcefully. This is true in terms of the defense of our territory, our security, and our national sovereignty, but it also applies to the sworn duty of all of those in government to equally protect the God-given, unalienable rights of each individual person, from their creation onward, their sacred obligation to stay well within the enumerated powers of our constitutions, and of the role legitimate government must play in balancing the competing rights and interests of the people, in order to establish justice."

Partly Cloudy
(NewsUSA) -
Families are tightening their budgets. For many, this means fewer activities outside of the home. With less dining out, movie outings, sports games or other extracurriculars, there's no better time for budget-conscious moms and dads to really connect and spend quality time with their kids throughout the year.
Start at home
One of your biggest monthly investments is your family home, so why not get your money's worth? If your kids don't think staying home is cool, here's your opportunity to get creative.
* Establish a weekly game night. There's no need to buy new games, just ask other parents if they have games that you can borrow.
* Subscribe to a home movie-rental service. Let the kids add their favorite movie to the queue as rewards for accomplishments.
* Dining in style. Try to eat more meals at home. Keep the meal simple, so the family can prepare it together. I like to use affordable canned vegetables, like Libby's, in recipes and as side dishes because they are delicious and easy to prepare.
Get out of town
No matter the season, families benefit from fun trips and activities. With a little creativity, families can plan little escapes that don't jeopardize the mortgage.
* Plan trips close to home. Look for locations three to four hours away to make it a road trip and save on airfare.
* Try camping. Once a popular option, many young families are getting back into the ad
