GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is very limited to what it can offer to the students from education to after school programs.
Parkwood needs lots of help to become a better school for my children.
This school has improved throughout the years. The staff and parents are more committed than any other year. There are more after school programs that focus on reading, math, and writing also fine arts;including art club, chess club, knitting club, etc. The behavior has improved dramatically from the use of PBIS. This school is a great inspiration to other school's that were on AYP watch.
Very limited extra circular activities for kids. No math club or reading club. No after school help is provided.
Thhis school is a work in progress. This school has to deal with a lot more issues than most of the other schools have to. The focus of this school is the behavior issues that some parents ignore at home. This lack of parent involvement means that teachers have to be more involved in soving these behavior issues and this takes time away from students who don't have to deal with this issue.
Parkwood was cool but i think the have to give more edication to the kids in parkwood.
I totally disagree with previous posting. The teachers at Parkwood Elementary are highly qualified individuals. The test scores are on the rise because of it. Yes, we are still in academic review but things wont change with a 1 year time period. It is up to all of us to improve this school. Parents need to be involved. As far as the new playground, It wasn't paid for by the district. P.T.O. and the parents of this school made it happen. I would challenge parents that are concerned, should ask themselves, 'what have you done lately' and if you can't come up with an answer, come on in. We can help you help us.
Understaffed teachers, large class sizes, poor test scores, spent money on new playground, school needs more parental involvement. No child left behind title 1, transfer your child if you can..

Undergraduate Minor
Latin American & Border Studies
The minor in Latin American/Border Studies is structured to serve as a complement for the widest possible variety of major fields and thus prepare students for careers in business, industry, government, education, public service, research, law, health, as well as the demands of citizenship in a complex, inter-related world. The minor includes courses that are broadly integrating and problem-based as well as courses that are more narrowly focused. It is envisioned as a means for integrating the specialized majors with a cross-disciplinary and international context.
The 18-hour minor in LABS may be combined with any major. It includes the following requirements:
• 3 hours, SPAN or PORT 2304. This requirement may be waived upon successful completion of an approved competency examination.
• LABS 3300 The Americas
• 12 hours of electives in courses of Latin American or Border content, selected with the approval of the Latin American/Border Studies Advisor. These electives are designed to provide appropriate complements to the student's major, thereby adding the perspectives of disciplinary breadth and a Latin American/Border perspective.

Good Girls Gone Bad
Bad: Lindsay Lohan
DUI's, alcohol rehabilitation, violating her probation. Seriously, what happened? Lindsay Lohan seems to never be far from trouble. Her once successful acting career was affected by her own bad-girl behaviour, with a producer calling her "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" and went on to say her actions were those of a spoiled child.

The collective bargaining agreement between the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the ASO Players Association expired at midnight Saturday, but both sides issued statements Sunday saying that negotiations continue.
"While the current contract between the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Federation of Musicians has expired, both parties are continuing to work toward a solution," the musicians union said in a statement released Sunday afternoon. "Negotiations are ongoing."
Earlier Sunday, the ASO posted a similar statement on its website: "While the current contract between the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Federation of Musicians expired on August 25, 2012, both parties are continuing to work towards a solution. Negotiations are ongoing. We have some serious budget issues to address but we are all striving for the same thing — a thriving music community."
The ASO has accumulated debt since 2003 that it is estimated will reach $19.8 million by the end of the fiscal year.
The union has said the orchestra wants the musicians to accept approximately $20,000 a year each in salary reductions. The last public union counterproposal, on August 15, called for musicians, management and staff members all to take 11 percent pay cuts. Neither side has spoken publicly about specific contract terms since that date.

#30. STEVE MCDONALD - "Someone who has scaled a mountain."
Steve McDonald couldn't breathe.
The 23 year old, his friend Mike and a new acquaintance named Scott had woken up at four in the morning to try and reach the summit of Kala Pattar in Nepal. The part of the mountain they were hoping to reach was at an extremely high altitude. Usually, to prepare their bodies, a team will take an entire rest day before attempting the peak.
But Mike had become instantly smitten with a girl they'd met at the bottom who had decided to take an easier path. In a rush to get back to her before she left the area, Mike and Steve had agreed to forgo the rest day and go straight to the top.
That is, to say the least, not advisable.
Nearing the top, Mike started feeling a throbbing in his head and then, he couldn't walk straight; both are red flags for cerebral edema, a condition where the capillaries in your brain are bleeding. Steve knew worst case scenario meant Mike would die in 45 minutes if they didn't get to a lower altitude. Turning back would take hours. The trio could see the summit and gauged it would take 30 minutes to get there. It seemed like a better idea to get to their destination and then rush down.
"We said, 'Let's go,' and Mike ate a babies weight in Advil," Steve says.
But then, Steve started having difficulty breathing.
"People always ask if I ever felt in jeopardy while traveling and for me, it's that one day," he says. "I just though, 'I could die right now.' It was fucking horrifying."
The group got to the top and took a few pictures (including the one above) and then immediately started down as fast as possible. Reaching the bottom took a very scary and steep seven hours, all the while Steve was in complete panic mode. He was topped only by Mike, who Steve says ran down the mountain faster than anyone he's ever seen. Steve says his body was too weak to run. They made it in time with no lasting effects. When Steve and Scott got down, Mike was waiting for them at the bottom.
Steve is from a suburb outside Boston and actually graduated from Emerson with me, but we never met. He's a good friend of Alida, who directed me his way. As was the case with Alida and I in college, we crossed paths but never met. I don't remember Steve's name or face from school at all and he doesn't remember mine.
For an adventurer, Steve looks very average. He's a good-looking guy with an open, friendly, smile-y face and dark hair. He's not supremely built like a mountain climber, but he's tall and slim. He's actually pretty down right now because he's only back in the US due to the earthquake in Japan; he'd been there during the evacuation with a plan to stay seven months that was abruptly cut short. A month ago, he was evacuated to Australia. Not wanting to scrap the whole trip, he tried to extend his stay but Australia was too expensive. (Steve says cigarettes were 16 dollars and a 30 rack of beer was 70.)
"I grew up in the vanilla suburbs and it's not exciting so I think that gave me the push and it's why like to travel," he says. His tone is wistful and frustrated when he adds: "I should be in Burma right now."
For now, he's planning a "redo" on the trip that leaves in October. The trips aren't just for fun or enlightenment; Steve is trying to launch his passion project, a website called Backpackology.org.
The site would include writing and photography by Steve, but more importantly, it would have tips for cheap and safe travel. For instance, he says in Nepal, he spent only 360 dollars in the 23 days he spent mountain climbing there. He claims to be able to live on 10 dollars a day while traveling.
Not that he hasn't been saving up for years for these post-grad trips. Steve worked in a restaurant and barely spent money in college so he could do these, but even so, he's says traveling is not as expensive as people convince themselves it is.
"The message of the site is if you know how to travel, you don't have to spend so much," he says. He also uses guidebooks like Lonely Planet. (In India, he tells me he didn't open his guidebook until he got on the plane "as part of the appeal.")
At Emerson, he studied abroad at the college's semester-long program in the Netherlands and then from there, went and backpacked through the Middle East.
"If I get something in my head, I will do it," he says. "Most people have the tools, they just need that push so they can believe it's not as scary as you think it is."
I ask what he believes are the benefits traveling has had on his life. He tells me it's hard to articulate, because it's such a big passion for him. "It's like you're shoved into another country and no one knows you and nothing is familiar and even a basic task like buying a bus ticket is such a huge deal when you do it," he smiles. "You just become more resourceful."
While in India for nine months, Steve says he just followed wherever the guidebook led him that seemed cool. One such place was a temple with 8,500 steps. People make pilgrimages there and those who can't climb the steps pay other people to walk them up. Steve says it's mostly old people, who pre-climb, are publicly weighed on giant bean scale so the people walking them up can judge if they're too heavy. It sounds hilarious. "India is full of stuff like that," Steve says. He also randomly spent a day as an extra dancing in a Bollywood movie. It was a pretty loosely-scheduled trip.
One of his big goals on that trip though, was to get to Nepal and to see the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. Steve describes Everest as having a "magnetism" that draws people to it.
"The sherpas hold it as holy. It's not just a mountain, it's a god to them," he says. "Everest is not a pretty mountain. It's a very ugly mountain surrounded by way prettiest mountains. Someone once said, 'Everest is a fat man in a room of beautiful women,'" Steve laughs.
Unfortunately to summit Everest, one needs an oxygen mask and a 50,000 dollar permit. Steve and his friend Mike decided to go for one of the less dangerous but still treacherous climbs, at Kala Pattar.
Knowing he wanted to scale a mountain while in Asia, Steve says he spent three months prior running and doing what he felt was "training." He says it helped him not at all.
He and Mike also didn't originally want a sherpa (or guide) because they'd routed out the area themselves and because they knew it was a myth that the Himalayas were just barren wilderness. It's actually densely-populated with different crude villages every few hours. In fact, the two never used tents because they'd always encounter mountainside tea houses. If they agreed to eat all their meals at the tea house, the owners would let him spent the night.
But Steve's parents desperately didn't want him and Mike to make this trek alone. After a screaming fight, Steve says he agreed to a sherpa if the adults paid the 300 dollar fee. Meanwhile, Mike and Steve took their route to several sherpas who all laughed in their faces. They wanted to do a 13 day beeline trek in 23 days and really see the area. They also had no experience climbing at such high altitudes.
I ask how they convinced a sherpa to go with them and Steve laughs. "We bought them whiskey and they agreed to go," he says. "There's no better convincer than alcohol." The boys ended up with a Nepali sherpa named Chabbi, who did not live up the image they had of the proud, stoic mountain man.
Chabbi was a cantankerous, spitting, alcoholic, loud 65-year-old man. "He spoke no English but he did speak at twice the decibels necessary," Steve says. He was also quite fond of "rakshi" or rice liquor. On their first day, some bad tea house chow mein left Mike and Steve puking and ill. Not a good start.
The next few days they walked from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. straight.
"The sun goes down, you get to a tea house and you collapse on your bed like a bag of concrete, where you lay motionless for two hours weeping until someone calls you to dinner," Steve says. "Then you crawl there and force food down your throat. That's the first week."
By Day 8, Steve says his body began to condition itself. "We felt stronger and faster and Chabbi was always behind us yelling 'Slow down, sir!'" he says. "The paths were so obvious, you really don't need a sherpa. I'd ask Chabbi what certain temples on the path were and he'd say, 'I don't know. You look in book.'" Steve pauses, smirking, "The only thing he was good for was finding the strongest rice liquor."
The path he was on was covered in snow, in late September. When they reached Lukla, where the airport is, they found countless tourists (or "flash packers") who paid money to tourist at Everest's base camp. Steve describes it as "blind, fat, middle-aged people being literally carried by sherpas." I feel momentarily embarrassed to be American.
Steve says they chose Kala Pattar because the summit overlooks the entirety of Mount Everest. Before everything went haywire on their climb, the beauty of the mountain was what fully occupied Steve's mind. The group had left at 4 in the morning, in cold so freezing Steve couldn't feel his fingers or toes and in darkness so pitch black that the stars looked like daylight. As they climbed higher, Steve began to notice them surpassing the clouds, like in an airplane when they look like a cloud-floor below you.
"It was absolutely wild to break through them. It felt like you could skip a stone across it," he says. "Your head literally comes out of the clouds and the summit peaks are above the clouds. It exceeded every expectation. It looked so theatrical."
When he leaves in October, Steve plans to be away for two years. He tells me though they let him crash at their house, his parents don't condone his choice to travel over getting a real job. In college, he had an internship at Comedy Central and was urged by Emerson, and his parents and fellow interns to go on to become an executive assistant in Los Angeles. The idea left a bad taste in Steve's mouth.
I ask him about this, entirely for selfish reasons. I am also 23 and I have a well-paying day job with health benefits at a name corporation in a big city. But, I'm nailed to a desk all day every day. My eyeballs spend most of their time locked on a computer screen. What have I really seen? What do I really know?
I tell Steve I'd feel immensely guilty leaving a "comfortable" life to cavort around in Indian temples, meeting strangers on summits, drinking Nepali rice liquor. I am burning with jealousy.
But what Steve does isn't magic. I could totally save up, purchase a plane ticket and take off. Why am I (an able, healthy 23-year-old woman) spending every day monotonously working in an office? After college, I was consumed with getting a good day job like it was the only barometer of my personal self-worth. Why couldn't I, like Steve, take off for India? Why am I writing '100 Interviews' and not some better, less self-righteous version of 'Eat, Pray, Love' called, I don't know, 'Drink, Write, Dance?'
Steve says I could do what he's doing whenever I choose to. "I just wanted to have some adventures first and see the world," he says, shrugging like it's no big deal. I spend the next day looking up prices for plane tickets to Spain.

I jumped on board too recently to note your inclusion of Walter Carlos\' thunderclap-of-genius Clockwork Orange soundtrack, as well as an entirely suitable defense of the Dandy Warhols. Here\'s my vote for converting the FuckedUpFestiveFifty into the FuckedUpFestiveFiveHundred and soldiering on.
Ha! Now that this has run its course, I've been trying to hit upon a suitable replacement for this particular series.
30 tracks where the bass licks make us melt? 15 records where the backing singers actually do the things promised on 'Walk On The Wild Side'? The best lyric from The Smiths to have tattooed up your arm (me having a Smiths lyric tattooed up my arm)?
As you might have noticed, am open to suggestions.
japanese forms (@japaneseforms)
Some good stuff there. Some classic toons as well. Must admit haven't heard a couple of them (e.g. Idlewild, Boo Radleys, TV On The Radio); bands that seem to have passed me by (or vice versa). Can't go wrong with Can or Carlos in my books. Always been a personal fave the "A Clockwork Orange" soundtrack. (Heard you had some clockwork oranges parading up you street yesterday). Anyhow, Gainsbourg & BB… Luna did a rather spiffing cover version a few years back; with Lætitia Sadier (swoon) on vocals. Suppose you know it.
So, why not a top 'covers' list?
As for a The Smiths tattoo, how about: With a Sponge and a Rusty Spanner?
You'll get lots of puzzled looks.
Should probably confess that there's some glaring omissions. No VU, no Jesus & Mary Chain, no Teenage Fanclub. Hmm. Still, that Luna cover is excellent – Lætitia Sadier should be the default choice for any boy needing a duet partner.
The thing with cover versions is that I find them inherently distrustful. There are obvious exceptions to this rule, but I struggle to see beyond the distraction chiselled from the original. Probably just me…

SPOKANE, Wash. – Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians can't get use Monroe Street to get across the Spokane River beginning Monday. The bridge is now closed and will be until mid-June as the city works on a storm water project for the Kendall Yards development.
The closure only affects the bridge itself: drivers can still access Monroe Street on either side of the bridge. But the City of Spokane public works planners anticipate traffic delays surrounding the bridge throughout the closure.
Traffic will be rerouted to the Maple and Washington Street bridges. Pedestrians will be asked to cross the Post Street bridge. Detours will be marked, and they will take drivers around a good portion of the Monroe Street corridor north of the bridge.
That is the block where Coeur Coffeehouse set up shop a year ago. The java joint has a core following that baristas anticipate will still come their way for coffee, but it stands to lose customers who stop in because of Coeur's curb appeal.
"Thousands of cars go by every day and for a few weeks in June they won't be going by every day," Coeur barista Keaton Violet said. "We'll definitely lose a lot of accidental business form people driving by."
The project is expected to wrap up in about two weeks – mid-June – a welcomed birthday gift for Coeur Coffeehouse which celebrates one year in business on June 15.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Unfortunately this problem isn't limited to non-tanks. I tried to explain to a Paladin tank the other day that my trap has an arming time, and pulls would be less messy if he marked and let me trap first. I am capable of pulling a mob to a trap if necessary, but with the trap launcher the mob stays out of the group and the tank put his consecrate down without worrying about breaking CC . He said he didn't want to be slowed down by bads and I got booted for my trouble.
The biggest thing I learned in PUGs is to be specific. Assume nothing. The other night I was in a half PUG (I had a healer who is a good friend and one of his guild warlocks) with a random DK and ele shammy.
We were in H Throne of the Tides and on the first boss I gave the fateful instructions: "Burn the melee adds and cc the casters." The warlock offered to CC the left add, the shaman said he'd take the right. Okay.
Boss comes out, we're avoiding the floor-death, and since I had never tanked this boss before I was tanking her in the middle. Apparently, the melee add comes out closer to the back of the room, so the DK was way closer to her. He took to heart the words "burn" and immediately started in on the add, getting two-shot in the process. We then wiped due to not having the DPS to burn the adds before she came back up.
What I learned? Be specific. I quickly added to my instructions that "When I say burn, 'let the bear hit it first' is implied." But nothing is really implied. If you mean you'll be tanking something but they need to DPS it down quickly, say so. Especially because on that last boss in the dungeon, I would not be tanking the murlocs or channelers, but they still needed to be burned down hard.
You cannot be specific enough, because no one knows each others' playstyles very well, you have to kind of learn on the fly that the DK will be helpful and death grip casters or that the ele shaman does not have a clue what a LOS pull is.
THIS x10000
Tanks, for the love of god, PLEASE learn this one thing: Hunter traps have an arming time. If it's a launched trap, it has a flight time. If you want me to thow a trap onto a mob, then yoiu have to learn to let the hunter pull, otherwise the mob won't get trapped, even some castor mobs move a little when the tank throws something at another mob in the pack.
I've been kicked so many times from groups because either I'm told off for starting the pull with a trap or worse, failed to trap a mob after the tank pulled as I was launching. This is not teh hunter's fault, it's the tanks. Learn This Well tanks...
I agree with Snuzzle, you can NOT assume a THING! Even in normals! I was in a Lost City PUG and the tank was just pulling without saying anything or asking anything. Up until the point when we wiped on High Prophet Barim, I thought everyone knew what was going on because no one seemed to be doing anything wrong and no one asked anything. Afterward, the healer was complaining that this hunter was standing in stuff too long. He said "I don't know the fight :( sorry." Which is when I realized that he hadn't been there before and he hadn't needed to really know much about anything on the first couple bosses. So I told him to not be ashamed and that he should probably speak up when he has a question. I think people asking questions and learning the fight is definitely better than wiping on even a normal boss...

The Northern Illinois Huskies received a BCS bowl bid and will face the Florida State Seminoles on New Year's Day in the Orange Bowl. It is a great moment for the university and all other "small school" programs that have been looking for a glimmer of hope at one day breaking through into the BCS.
Northern Illinois is ready for the challenge and they are going to all efforts to ensure they will have a strong following in Miami.
[RELATED: Kirk Herbstreit unhappy with Northern Illinois earning BCS bid]
The Huskies will be providing one free Orange Bowl ticket to any student that will be traveling to the game. Northern Illinois associate athletic director Donna Turner made the announcement today.
"We consider athletics to be an important part of the university for (the students)," Turner said. "If it gives them a good feeling about themselves, Northern Illinois and our athletic programs, that's an investment that's well worth it. When you talk about the big picture, that's more important than whatever the cost is in the short term.
"It's fairly standard for us to offer free tickets to students. This is something that is extremely important to us. When the (bowl) came about, it didn't take us long to make tickets free as well."
But the trip won't be 100 percent free of cost.
"They still have to get there," Turner said. "It's the not the simplest thing. We hope to have a great contingent."
It's not the first time Northern Illinois has offered free tickets to students, but it will be the first time their student body gets to witness their football program face off against one of college football's giants in a BCS bowl.

Wooden Sunburst Mirror | 346 Living
I just love sunburst mirrors. Though I know a lot of people think they're 'so 70's' (i.e. my Mum), I still really love them. But they are so expensive! Making one seems a much cheaper option. This is made from wooden shams (which you can buy from hardware stores), some hot glue and a round mirror. You can leave it plain wood or spray paint it any colour you want - 346 Living painted theirs gold. I already know where I'm going to hang mine!
Amethyst Mirror | Design Love Fest
The other day I was thinking about what my 'design style' is. And it's funny because honestly, my taste in design is all over the place (kind of like my taste in music!). I love Danish Modern, kitschy 50's, glitzy glam, sleek modern, vintage, hippie and country! So I love pieces that fit into many different slots like this mirror. The design is pretty simple - a plain circle encrusted with amethysts - but could fit into so many different interiors. If you're not keen on amethysts, you could try malachite (green), rose quartz (pale pink) or the beautiful chalcopyrite which is also known as 'peacock stone'. Just make sure you have a good hanger on the back and a sturdy hook to hang it on!
'Vintage' Mirror | My Sweet Savannah
In Adelaide you need to get up pretty early to get the good stuff at the op shops. All the cool 50's frocks, the Danish-esque side tables and pretty floral teacups are gone in a flash. But of course, there's one thing there is plenty of - ugly paintings. But you know what they say - you should never judge a painting by it's picture. No, that's not what they say, but you need to keep that in mind, because some of the best frames have the ugliest pictures! And the best part about this DIY is that the only thing you need to spend money on (other than your frame) is some 'Looking Glass' spray. The tarnished effect is created with a vinegar mix - so clever!
Faux Antiqued Mirrors (Without Chemicals!) | Home Heart Craft
I found out the other week that Anthropologie ships to Australia… yikes. Now I just need to win the lottery! One of the pieces I fell in love with and was very much considering purchasing was this incredible collected memories mirror. Thank goodness I read the comments! Apparently you don't actually get the mirror pictured - it's a but of a lucky dip (though it sounds like most people got all brown frames!). Well now I don't have to shell out over $400 for it - I can just make my own! all you need is photo frames, vinegar and mirror spray. If you purchase your frames new then do as home Heart Craft did and distress them yourself (then you can add colour too if you want!) or buy some second hand ones that are already a bit knocked about. How exciting!
Mirror Craft | Country Living
This is a pretty DIY that you could make a set of - with different types of silhouette mirrors. And it's so easy too. Just cut the image out of contact paper, then spray with your choice of spray paint (this one is called Bazooka Joe! Now all I can think of is having a piece of Bazooka Joe. Dammit) Or you could use different shapes like stars, hearts or polka dots.
Sunburst Mirror Revamp | Crafty Nest
The original 'all white' version of this mirror was gorgeous, but the coloured version is really awesome too. I always see those little wood pieces at the craft store and think 'those are really cool, what could I do with those?'. Thank goodness for Craft blogs!
Anthro Inspired Mirror | Flamingo Toes
So one of the main reasons I decided to start a Tumblr was because I had a folder full of links that I rarely looked at. I would find something I loved and bookmark it, then… never do it. So blogging them mean that they're all in one pretty place for me to look back at. When I saw this DIY, I was sooooo excited. I am most definitely going to be making this - it's not going to be put in Bookmark Oblivion! It will look great above the fireplace (sorry butcher paper wreath, you've been mentally replaced) And I know my mum, who reads my blog (HI MUM!) will love this one too!
IKEA Mirror Revamp | Lifelix
Looking through the rest of the Lifelix blog, I came across this revamp and fell in LOVE. That's capital LOVE, I'm talking bout love! (where is that from? a song? sorry, I've been sick, I'm a bit delirious!) but anyway I really do love this mirror. I've seen it at IKEA and thought - boring! Seriously, add doilies to something and I'm smitten. I would proudly hang this on my wall!
Sunburst Mirror | Third Floor Design Studio
I love sunburst mirrors, but they always seem to be so expensive. That's what I love about this DIY, it's super cheap to make yet looks exactly like the super expensive ones!

"Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?"
I'll be giving a TED U Talk in Longbeach at the end of the month. I'll be asking "Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?" I think that blithe optimism about technology's powers has evaporated as big problems that people had imagined technology would solve, such as hunger, poverty, malaria, climate change, cancer, and the diseases of old age, have come to seem intractably hard.
I'd love to know what the TED Community thinks our difficulties are - or, even if the idea is true at all.
Here's a URL to the story I wrote in MIT Technology Review on the subject: http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/429690/why-we-cant-solve-big-problems/

Feb 16 2013: It depends on whether you are looking at it from the human hubs then out to outlier hubs which generally are one step or two back from the main hubs technological level. we only ever need heavy energy need in our hemisphere's winter months unless you talking about our industrial complexes needs.
Superconductive materials as well as under road dynamos that burst the grid. My dream is AG flight, it's the only true horizon left that needs a modern day Wrights brothers to crack otherwise it will get bogged down in years of red tape and availability issues.
Feb 20 2013: Don't laugh but it's what the magnetic trains run on in japan except it's at a controllable height, I call it AG, anti-grav as that is what it will be called in a 100 years. look up a few superconductor talks, right now they are at the development stage of trying to find a created material that will operate at room temp instead of having to use liquid nitrogen to get the material to become superconductive and float on a magnet. It's sci-fi but it's the last frontier and it's up for grabs. A few have found or created materials that are bringing the cooling threshold down.
A hundred more years of rubber wheeled transport? A vehicle that can take just about any weight and that is not reliant on a shock and tire system or terrain and only relies on a small EM field to float on must be far more efficient than a electric motor. We could get rid of roads and just have towers everywhere, Heck, dress them up as trees for a natural look.
Like i said it's sci-fi but the universities are seriously looking into it, I don't see any other way for us but to attempt it, eventually oil is going to run out. If every private vehicle on the planet goes electirc we still would have to keep commercial transport and freight on combustion as no E-motor can take up the pull of a heavy engine.

Optimal Farm Size under an Uncertain Land Market: the Case of Kyrgyz Republic
AbstractThe paper illustrates a theoretical model of real option value applied to the problem of land development. Making use of the 1998-2001 Kyrgyz Household Budget Survey, we show that when the hypothesis of decreasing return to scale holds, the relation between the threshold value of revenue per hectare and the amount of land cultivated is positive. In addition to that, the relation between the threshold and the amount of land owned is positive in the case of continuous supply of land and negative when there is discontinuous supply of land. The direct consequence is that, in the first case, smaller farms will be more willing to rent land and exercise the option where, in the second case, larger farms will exercise first. The results corroborate the findings of the theoretical model and suggest three main conclusions: (i) the combination of uncertainty and irreversibility is a significant factor in the land development decisions, (ii) farmers' behaviour is consistent with the continuous profit maximization model, (iii) farming unit revenue tends to be positively related to farm size, once uncertainty is properly accounted for.

About Hugh or Dorothy
The owners took great care in choosing the perfect location for the villa - a quaint area on the north-west coast of the island so as to experience the Caribbean Sea, but also to experience the quiet, friendly relaxed Barbadian village life. The proximity to the beach and the spectacular view of the ocean from the villa led them to choose the name 'Seacruise'.
Hugh or Dorothy purchased this villa in 2003

Getting a strange battle screen error, This is a new issue-- don't know what caused it
Feb 14 2012, 03:52 AM
Post #1
Type: Undisclosed
Alignment: Chaotic Good
I keep getting an error whenever there is a transition to battle screen. I don't alter any original scripts, obviously, so I don't know what caused this error.
I'm not understanding how to fix the error either. I'm not exactly new to RPG Maker VX, but this has never happened before. Here is what the error screen looks like
error_message.png ( 49.67K ) Number of downloads: 15
????? 'Scene_Map' ? 206 ??? NoMethodError ????????
undefined method 'empty?' for nil:NilClass
EDIT: after much deliberation I found that the issue was coming from a strange error with the Epic Battles script I am using... I don't even alter the bgm with this script but that was where the issue was coming from. With some trial and error I fixed this issue. If a moderator needs to close this topic or leave it open as a case study... I don't mind either way. I figured out the issue.

Forecasting with Unobserved Components Time Series Models
AbstractStructural time series models are formulated in terms of components, such as trends, seasonals and cycles, that have a direct interpretation. As well as providing a framework for time series decomposition by signal extraction, they can be used for forecasting and for `nowcasting'. The structural interpretation allows extensions to classes of models that are able to deal with various issues in multivariate series and to cope with non-Gaussian observations and nonlinear models. The statistical treatment is by the state space form and hence data irregularities such as missing observations are easily handled. Continuous time models offer further flexibility in that they can handle irregular spacing. The paper compares the forecasting performance of structural time series models with ARIMA and autoregressive models. Results are presented showing how observations in linear state space models are implicitly weighted in making forecasts and hence how autoregressive and vector error correction representations can be obtained. The use of an auxiliary series in forecasting and nowcasting is discussed. A final section compares stochastic volatility models with GARCH.

A Story of Grandma and the Disappearing Shepard's Pie!
In the tradition of sharing my favorite recipes, here is one of my favorite comfy foods for a 'gloomy' cool day. My grandmother used to make a version of this recipe. She was a gourmet, a perfectionist in her cooking. Through the years I have taken her love for food and cooking and simplified many of her recipes.
Lighter Chicken Pot Pie
I love to cook! There is no question about it. Cooking for me is like meditation. I am at one with the kitchen, a 'no interrupt zone'. Dinner with the family is a time to connect with the kids and my James, cooking dinner is a time to connect with myself. And when the food turns out delicious and disappears from their plates, well that's the best thing ever. This is why I share these recipes with you, to hopefully bring you a moment of sanity AND oooh's and ahhh's at the dinner table.

As I look ahead to the changes in my life, what can I do with all this experience that will be challenging and fulfilling?
Does this sound familiar? It does to the thousands of TTN women who are looking ahead to whats next, just like founders Charlotte Frank and Christine Millen did over ten years ago. After long and successful careers, Charlotte and Christine were ready to refocus themselves on something new, something more flexible and something gratifying. But what? And how would they go about discovering and following that new passion?
Charlotte and Christine began meeting regularly with a small group of their friends. They talked about coming to grips with the fact that their lives were changing. And they supported each other as they began to develop their own individual visions for whats ahead. As they realized the value of these gatherings, they also found that there were many women they knew who were asking the same questions about this next stage of their lives.
So they created a new community for women who are losing the connections they built through their work or while they were raising their families. These women are seeking to find a new community that will support them as they move ahead to embrace new dreams in the next stage of their lives.
The Transition Network serves women over 50, the vast majority of whom have had careers. These are women with the potential to change the world, to change each other and change the wider community.
Through our local chapters, TTN offers community a candy store of opportunities for women to realize themselves. TTN members connect for friendship, intellectual growth, entertainment and advocacy on issues important to women. Its a place where women explore their next step and become inspired to take on the challenges of continuing to contribute to their own circle, to the wider community of TTN and to the world. And each woman can choose her own path. For their pivotal role in launching and growing The Transition Network, Chris and Charlotte were recognized as aCivic Ventures Purpose Prize Fellows with co-founder Charlotte Frank in 2006.
Mission: The Transition Network is an inclusive community of professional women, 50 and forward, whose changing life situations lead them to seek new connections, resources and opportunities. Through small group interactions, programs and workshops, members inspire and support each other to continue a life of learning, engagement and leadership in the world.
