"Much Ado About Nothing" Headlines Shakespeare Festival
March 1 to 11, 2012
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … A new imagining of Much Ado About Nothing, set on the North Shore of Long Island at the close of WWI, is the featured production of Hofstra University's 63rd Annual Shakespeare Festival, March 1 to 11 at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse, South Campus.
Watch Videos
Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Jean Dobie Giebel, is a witty, multifaceted comedy about two sets of lovers: one battling an evil plot, while the other battles each other. The setting for their battle of wits is drawn from a group of young men returning home from war. Leisure does not seem to suit these soldiers, and so they create intrigues to pass the time. In a counterpoint to the main plot, Shakespeare has set two of his most memorable characters, Beatrice and Benedick. Although brought together by a ruse, Benedick meets his match in Beatrice. He is not meant to "woo peaceably," and neither is she, but Benedick must now lay down his arms and trade trenches for garden parties, bullets for witty banter, and marches for the fox trot, while Shakespeare reminds us "the course of true love never did run smooth" so sometimes it takes us a little bit longer than expected to find our way home.
Show times are March 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and March 4 and 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 and $10 senior citizen (over 65) or matriculated non-Hofstra student with ID. Members of the Hofstra community may receive up to two free tickets upon presentation of a current HofstraCard. For tickets and more information call the Hofstra Box Office at 516-463-6644.
The tradition of the Hofstra Shakespeare Festival began with noted Shakespeare scholar John Cranford Adams, president of Hofstra from 1944 to 1964. The first Hofstra Shakespeare Festival, featuring Julius Caesar, opened on March 22, 1950. Professional actors were used in many of Hofstra's early Festivals, but the outstanding, available student talent soon made this not necessary. Notable casts over the years have included Phil Rosenthal, the creator and executive producer of Everybody Loves Raymond; Tony-nominees Tom McGowan and Peter Friedman; film and stage actor Joe Morton; film and television actresses Susan Sullivan, Margaret Colin and the late Madeline Kahn; and Tony-nominated Broadway director Susan Schulman, among many others. Even actress Kyra Sedgewick and Tony Award-winning actor Brian Dennehy, who are not a Hofstra alumni, performed in the Shakespeare Festival High School Competition as teenagers. Dennehy has said his brief experience in the Festival helped ignite his love for acting.
The main Shakespeare Festival play is always accompanied by a Festival Musicale and a companion play. This year the Hofstra Shakespeare Festival Musicale is "2 Bs or Not 2 Bs," performed by the Hofstra Collegium Musicum, a student ensemble that presents concerts of early music, directed by Professor of Music William E. Hettrick. The Collegium Musicum includes ensembles of voices and historical instruments from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The 2012 companion play is a new one-hour Hamlet titled Hamlet: A Bare Bodkin, abridged and directed by Hofstra Adjunct Associate Professor Ed Elefterion. This is the fifth year that Hofstra's Shakespeare Festival has featured a one-hour adaptation of a Shakespearean play, designed to introduce young theatergoers to the works of the Bard. Hofstra students also take the companion play on the road to perform at local high schools. For many local students, this Hofstra tour is their first exposure to the work of Shakespeare.
"2 Bs or not 2 Bs" and Hamlet: A Bare Bodkin will be performed together at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse on Saturday, March 3 and 10, at 2 p.m., plus there will be a special performance of Hamlet: A Bare Bodkin on March 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $11, $8 for senior citizens (over 65) or matriculated non-Hofstra students with ID. Tickets for the March 8 performance of Hamlet: A Bare Bodkin are $6. Members of the Hofstra community may receive two free tickets upon presentation of a current HofstraCard.
For tickets and more information about any of the performances associated with the 63rd Annual Shakespeare Festival, please call the Hofstra Box Office at (516) 463-6644 or visit www.hofstra.edu/drama .

Glad to have found one
By paschall2005
from Athens, Ga.
After months of my daughter begging for one of these I was glad to finally find one at Toys-R-Us online. Furby Boom is cute and very different from the one I had in the 80's. The colors are bright and fun and you don't have to remove the batteries to get it to go to sleep. The one neg. about the new furbys is that they are a bit pricey for a toy.

"The Essential Guide for Hiring & Getting Hired" shows companies how to effectively develop an optimal talent acquisition strategy to reduce costly turnover
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lou Adler's path from engineer to manager, then recruiter to hiring expert has given him the perspective to develop the solution. In his Amazon bestseller, Hire With Your Head, he introduced the Performance-based Hiring process.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130923/PH83770-a )

Companies worldwide are now using Performance-based Hiring as a means to convert their entire talent acquisition process into a core strategic asset.
His newest book, The Essential Guide for Hiring & Getting Hired, takes it to the next level. This book is written for everyone involved in the hiring process. It will help hiring managers and recruiters find and hire more top-notch people for any job, from entry-level to senior executive. Just as important, it will give job-seekers an inside view of how companies look for, assess and hire new employees.
Performance-based Hiring allows companies to unify their performance management and hiring processes. Companies base internal promotions on a person's past performance and future potential. But they use a different process for hiring and selecting outside people, largely based on skills and experience. This prevents companies from seeing and hiring the best people available.
Performance-based Hiring fixes these problems and reworks the system. Performance-based job descriptions replace traditional job descriptions. Evidence is used to assess competency and fit. Rather than weed out people who don't posses some arbitrary list of prerequisites, compelling career messages are used to excite and attract the best.
Due to this unconventional but commonsense approach, David Goldstein of Littler Mendelson, the largest labor firm in the U.S., was asked to review Performance-based Hiring: "Because the Performance-based Hiring system does differ from traditional recruiting and hiring processes, questions arise as to whether employers can adopt Performance-based Hiring and still comply with the complex array of statutes, regulations, and common law principals that regulate the workplace. The answer is yes."
Lou Adler is the president of The Adler Group (www.louadlergroup.com), an international training and consulting firm. Adler is a noted recruiting industry expert, international speaker, columnist and is a featured influencer on LinkedIn.com: http://www.linkedin.com/today/influencers.

text: Home Culture Why I Love Serena Williams and Michelle Obama Though held to different standards than men, these two women are unafraid to speak their minds. By: Keli Goff Posted: June 24 2013 9:20 AM 0 Serena Williams (pool/Getty Images); Michelle Obama (Adam Berry/Getty Images) (The Root) -- I once wrote of the comparisons between tennis legend Arthur Ashe, known for his grace and quiet temperament on and off of the court, and President Obama, who, like Ashe, has been criticized for not being emotional or angry enough at times. What I didn't write then is that part of why some of us so appreciate Michelle Obama is that occasionally she displays shades of Serena Williams: less quiet and more emotional, regardless of what the reaction will be. While President Obama smiles through a heckler, Michelle Obama steps up to put the heckler in her place. As a tennis fan, I have been reminded a lot of the differences between the legacies of Ashe and Williams over the last month, specifically whether or not Williams will ever enjoy the legacy she deserves or if, like Michelle Obama, there will always be a segment of the population unable to see her talent and raw emotion beyond the intimidating black woman unafraid to break the mold for how history dictates she is supposed to behave. Williams has endured what is arguably the greatest and worst month of her life. On the heels of winning her second French Open, she sparked an outcry following her controversial remarks about the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case, which led to allegations that Williams blamed the victim for her assault. Though I consider that interpretation of Williams' remarks an overreach by her critics (and the PC police), that doesn't change the fact that her words were clumsily chosen. But the latest chink to be placed in the armor of Williams' public image comes at the hands of one of her primary on-court rivals (and, if rumors are to be believed, romantic rival), Maria Sharapova. Williams made critical comments in a Rolling Stone article about an unnamed top-five tennis player who many speculate is Sharapova, comments for which she has apologized within the last 24 hours. But not before Sharapova replied by saying: At the end of the day, we have a tremendous amount of respect for what we do on the court. I just think she should be talking about her accomplishments, her achievements, rather than everything else that's just getting attention and controversy. If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids. Talk about other things, but not draw attention to other things. She has so much in her life, many positives, and I think that's what it should be about. According to the rumor mill, Sharapova is dating someone Williams used to date, which would seem to explain why their rivalry has recently taken a more personal tone, and frankly would be the only reason their so-called rivalry makes any sense, because their competition on the court can barely be called a rivalry. For a rivalry to exist, two parties have to be considered near equals. Williams and Sharapova may both be tennis players, but that's a bit like saying that President Obama and LeBron James both play basketball. Williams has won far more Grand Slams than Sharapova has or will, not to mention an overwhelming majority of their matches (including their last 12). Their only true professional rivalry might be in the realm of endorsements. Although Williams holds the record for the most prize money ever won by a female tennis player (nearly $50 million), Sharapova has routinely outpaced Williams in terms of endorsements throughout her career. Sharapova has earned double the endorsement income that Williams has, ranking No. 22 on the list of highest-earning athletes to Williams' much lower ranking of 68, according to Forbes. Some might argue that in light of Williams' recent "verbal volleys," as some outlets have called them, the discrepancy makes sense -- except it shouldn't. Seeing tennis legend McEnroe have an on-court meltdown in person became akin to some tennis fans to being a baseball fan lucky enough to catch a foul ball at a game. (This fact was repeatedly recalled during Williams' most controversial public moment involving an overzealous lineswoman and an alleged threat.) McEnroe's image as a tantrum-throwing troublemaker was so synonymous with his brand that his infamous on-court tantrum catchphrase, "You cannot be serious!" was used as the title of his memoir. A recent American Express commercial spoofs McEnroe's confrontational image, featuring him perplexed when the customer service is so good that he misses out on the chance to argue with anyone. It should also be noted that for male sports superstars, rivalries are encouraged and so are actual feuds, complete with trash-talking and the like. Having watched the terrific documentary about the 1992 Olympic Dream Team, I can't imagine the fan bases of Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas being as revved up about seeing their respective teams go head-to-head without the perceived animus between the two men stirring the pot.

Selena Gomez, in a slightly less festive mood than during the Golden Globes
Newly single Selena Gomez might have partied a little too hard after the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night.
In a video clip of her red-carpet interview with Screenslam.com at the Warner Bros./ InStyle after-party, Justin Bieber's 20-year-old ex doesn't seem sober, the Huffington Post points out, as she rambles on about best-actress winner Jennifer Lawrence.
"There was such incredible parts of — of the entire show," the Spring Break actress says. "But for me, as an actress, . . . like, seeing Jennifer Lawrence after all she's been through, even being part of an incredible fan — franchise — seeing her accept the speech was incredible. It was a good moment for me. I don't even know her, but I think she's so cool, and I think she deserved it."
On what's known as Hollywood's drunkest night, Gomez might have indulged in not only a little alcohol but also a little man candy.
At another after-party, Us Weekly said, she was spotted holding hands and getting "super-close" with 23-year-old Luke Bracey, her Monte Carlo co-star.

The International Hot Rod Association, one of drag racing's sanctioning bodies, has been purchased by the ownership group of two member tracks.
The ownership group of Palm Beach International Raceway and Memphis (Tenn.) International Raceway bought IHRA from Feld Motor Sports.
IHRA sanctions more than 100 tracks internationally. In the Cape Fear region, tracks operating under the IHRA banner are Fayetteville Motor Sports Park, Rockingham Dragway, and Dunn-Benson Dragstrip.
One of the partnership's managing partners, Jason Rittenberry, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of IHRA Motorsports, while Aaron Polburn will remain as President and General Manager. IHRA Motorsports will continue operations at its Norwalk, Ohio, headquarters, and maintain the management team, sponsor partners and sanctioned track partners.
Several events will be added to the 2013 Nitro Jam schedule, including a return to the Palm Beach facility in Jupiter, Fla.

Just because you lose an engine at 30000' (actually flight level 300) does not mean you will crash and burn ( since you said an engine and not the engine, you mean a multi engine aircraft) I routinely fly over the Pacific in two engine aircraft, and if I lose an engine I have up to 3 hours to get to an alternate on one engine. Losing an engine does not mean a "crash and burn" is imminent.
Sorry for the tread drift.

B A+F Athletics: University of Oregon is great.
B A+F Athletics: Duck sports brings the entire student body together in an upbeat manner that provides unity for the entire student body.
A A+F Athletics: Its UO..... Do I need to say more? Our football team? Track town USA? Sports are a huge part here and we love love love them! If you just want to have fun, do intramural sports!! Its super fun and casual.
A A+F Athletics: Eugene, Oregon is Track Town. There is a huge hype on campus when track season is upon us. Before that even begins, there's football. The Oregon Ducks are a superb team. I'm not just saying that because I attend the school. With funds from Nike, they have state of the art facilities so that they can continue to go out and play their best. Football and Track may be the most popular (traditionally), but the basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball teams are praised a lot as well.
A A+F Athletics: If you've never been to a Ducks game, then you're seriously missing out. The fan spirit and teams are like nothing else!

"Track Town, USA"; multiple Olympic trials at Hayward Field; men's basketball in the Elite 8 . . . any of these factoids sound familiar? Varsity athletics are a big deal at the University of Oregon, which is home to some of the best teams and athletic facilities in the nation. Oregon is a fierce competitor in the Conference of Champions, the Pac-12, and all of Eugene gets behind the University in support of intercollegiate athletics. The popular football and men's basketball events sell out student tickets within hours, though other sports only require a student ID for free admission. It never rains on Saturdays at Autzen Stadium, and fans would probably show up even if it did.
Intramurals and club sports offer athletic alternatives to Division I competition. The UO's intramurals are open to everyone on campus, and more organized club sports offer everything from martial arts to triathlon. While you won't feel pressured to be involved with sports at Oregon, many students do choose to join in some form. This makes it a great way to meet new people while keeping yourself in shape. If you're interested in sporting events or think that weekends spent cheering on your favorite team are the way to go, you'll feel right at home with UO's athletic climate.

Old North Church Sanctuary
Boston Friday, February 22, 2013
Boston's Old North Church is best-known for its steeple, where one night in 1775, patriots hung two lanterns to signal that British troops were moving by water out of Boston -- leading to the first shots of the American Revolutionary War. But the church has other stories to tell – and we'll hear many in this second part of our visit to Old North Church.

Few films bring on overwhelming rushes of nostalgia for me like Home Alone. There's no way to determine the number of times I've watched Kevin fear sharing the Hide-A-Bed will Fuller, eat ice cream while watching Angels With Filthy Souls, and light Joe Pesci's head on fire. But let me tell you friends: it's a lot.
For me, Home Alone is the film of my youth, and although I've quoted it for years (and can pretty much recite the entire screenplay while watching it), I had never considered it a Christmas movie. Growing up, it was an adventure flick about a clever wise-ass kid setting traps for dumb-ass crooks. "This is [his] house. [He has] to defend it." *chick chick*
Over the years and as I've continued to watch this movie on a regular basis, what I see in it has changed. Home Alone is a Christmas movie. It is also, very obviously, about family. Kevin gets his Christmas wish a few days early, making his kinsfolk disappear (to France without him) and he spends the next few days living on his own realizing how much he misses them, and even teaches the local shovel-slayer about family along the way.
Home Alone, just like Christmas, brings me back to my childhood. It reminds me of being a kid and playing with my sister and sitting beside our multi-coloured Christmas tree watching movies. Also, tell me: does anyone do Christmas cinema like Chris Columbus? I think not.
This is why it made for the perfect film to kick off our annual Christmas Movie Marathon.

WASHINGTON: As terrorist groups increasingly work with drug gangs and other international criminals, they pose new threats to the United States – but they also create new vulnerabilities that savvy Americans can use to attack them, said the Pentagon's top drug war expert, William Wechsler.
The US needs to go beyond thinking of terrorist groups purely as terrorists and attack them "as business enterprises and criminal enterprises," said Wechsler, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counternarcotics and Global Threats, addressing a small audience at the annual irregular warfare conference hosted by the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement, IDGA. Tactically, Wechsler said, that approach offers new ways to target terrorist finances and logistics. Strategically, it opens the possibility of a moral judo in which the terrorists discredit themselves. When the US exposes terrorists' ties to crime, said Wechsler, "it undermines their support within their own populations because most people in the world don't like this kind of activity. There aren't a lot of people in the world who love drug trafficking and think it would be great if their son or daughter was hooked on drugs." Keep reading →

for the Asolo Men's Fugitive GTX Boot
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 112 reviews)
I received these boots sooner than expected. When I opened them up, I was super excited with the look. Then even more excited with the fit. This pesky job of mine prevented me from enjoying them for a couple days, but when I was able to, I was again blown away by the comfort. I put about 8 miles on them the first day out, and 10 the next day. They are my new go to. They really show no sign of wearing out, but when they do, I will get the same ones again. Everyone who sees them complements them. I even started wearing them to the gym to workout in. Best boots ever.
These things are SUPER comfortable. My feet always feel great in these! They keep me warm when it's cold, relatively cool when it's hot, and dry when it's wet. What more could you ask for in a boot? I have even met people (the ones who come around trying to 'save' you money on your electric bill) who don't hike but are walking all day who wear them and they say the same thing as me, GET THESE BOOTS.
By far the best pair of hiking boots I have owned! Not that it's the most important factor, but the style I feel is better compared to other full leather boots. As for performance, the fit and support are the best balance I've found in the 15+ boots I've owned over the past 10 years. Not usually a fan of Gore-tex boots but these breath reasonable well and so far (roughly a year of use) still keep my feet totally dry. Plenty of traction, though the soles seem to be wearing quicker than my last pair of La Sportiva. Excellent ankle support and virtually no break-in. Wore them straight out of the box on 12 mile hike using liner/wool sock combo and no blisters, hot spots or other issues. Will buy again when these wear out. My wife has a similar pair she loves.
If you purchase these boots you are doing your feet a solid. Before picking up a pair of Fugitive GTXs I would backpack in my old Iraq issued Navy desert combat boots. They were comfortable for the base and in the heat, but wow were they not suited for backpacking.I fortunately picked these up from Moosejaw and I would highly recommend them. They are like submarines in water, my feet are bone dry after trekking through puddles and low streams. The only con I would have are the weight. I wish they could shave a few more ounces of the boot.Nevertheless, check these out if you are in the market for new boots. They definitely will not let you down.
I have enjoyed these more than any other I have owned . I know when I put them on I do not have to worry about the warmth, dryness, or the support for my feet !! NO WORRIES !! If you are thinking about these think no longer just order you will be HAPPY,HAPPY, HAPPY !!!
This has been my favorite pair of hiking boots that I have owned. I like the style compared to other full leather boots, and boy these things stay dry with the Gore-tex liners. I have never had a pair of boots stay so dry. My only complaint is the the soles seem to wear a bit more quickly than other boots, but the tradeoff is that it seems to be a sticker rubber, so good for scrambling/etc on rock. These are very well constructed, have a very short break in period, and even though I have replaced them with a new pair, they still get worn quite a bit as I can't seem to part with my first pair of Fugutives.
It was recently rumored that Sasquatch himself forged these boots in Mordor while everyone else was bickering about some ring. One boot to rule them all. These babies are comfortable, light, and INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!Seriously, when December 21, 2012 hits, I'll be wearing the Asolo Fugitive. Not even the Mayans could have predicted how bombproof these boots are. I could walk be dropped into the middle of Lake Michigan and my feet would still be as dry as the Sahara.The only problem I'm having is that I keep throwing my money at my computer screen every time I see the boots on the website. Sadly, no matter how much money I throw, they don't come out of the computer :(
I just got these boots along with some socks a week ago. The size was right on. The boots looked great. And delivery was super fast.... I wore them for the first time on a 10 mile hike with no problems at all. Heading out to climb some peaks on Monday. Stoked! Great Boot!
I have had this boot for a few years and it just keeps putting up with my torture. Two many miles to count in these without using sock liners & only one set of blisters on an extremely steep& muddy 17 mile trail day. Easy, short break-in period, some would say no break-in. It isn't stiff enough for crampon use, but this isn't your boot for that anyway. Holds up great to snow & water with feet always staying dry. The only catch has been the laces which wear quite a bit on the first set of lace hooks above the d-ring eyes. Asolo sent me an extra set of laces, but now I'm using Kevlar. The toe-box is generous & not cramped like comparable La Sportiva offerings.
My fugitives just fell apart, but they gave me 6 good years! I'm writing this review as I prepare to replace this boot after it carried me over 1000 miles. Standing water was no issue as long as it wasn't over the top of the boot and same goes for mud and snow. The GoreTex liner keeps feet dry. The support was great I felt nimble enough to move quick with a heavy load yet supported enough to tackle rugged terrain. Overall I think this is a fantastic boot and I'm about to get another pair. (Full disclosure: although I purchased these boots I have been a part of the Gore MountainTech testing initiative in which I occasionally receive Gore-Tex products in exchange for participation.)

Gaming hardware and software are changing so rapidly that many people have a hard keeping up with anything but the biggest innovations. New technologies have made for smoother gaming experiences and improvements in graphic design have pushed video game characters closer and closer to looking real. This year though, it's time for the public to take notice of gaming advancements thanks to two pieces of technology that made quite the splash at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Both the Microsoft Kinnect and the Nintendo 3DS were received quite favorably and stand to make an impressive impact on the consumer market thanks to their intuitive designs and impressive technological advancements,
The Microsoft Kinnect is the company's response to the Nintendo Wii. This addition to the popular Xbox gaming system makes motion sensor technology a part of the gaming experience, only without the now clearly cumbersome remotes. This system has been very well received by not only consumers who love the integrated gaming system and smart motion sensing hardware but by industries all across the board that are eager to incorporate this seamless motion sensing technology into their own fields. The medical community is particularly excited about the potential to integrate this technology with both education and enhanced patient care.
Nintendo made its first appearance in 16 years at this year's CES. It premiered its 3DS, a 3D version of its popular DS portable gaming system. This design is so seamless and fun to play it took the Best of CES Gaming Award this year. The audience and judges clearly responded to not only the 3D gaming and WiFi access port but also the 3D movie playback and the ability for the integration of Mii characters from your home Wii system. Nintendo's first appearance at CES in close to two decades was clearly worth the wait.


text: Home Culture Waiting for School Reform Thanks to the highly hyped documentary Waiting for Superman, and President Obama's recent plug for education, making over our country's troubled schools is the topic du jour. Problem is, there's no one formula for success. By: R. L'Heureux Lewis Posted: Sept. 29 2010 10:25 AM 0 Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images Education reform is a hot topic these days, thanks to the recent release of the much hyped documentary Waiting for Superman. Directed by the same team that produced the award-winning An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary takes a hard look at the dilemma of American educational failure. Viewers get a heart-tugging tour de force that spotlights issues plaguing low-performing American public schools. What viewers do not get, however, is an education on the realities that hamper real reform. The problems that our schools face are complex, but director Davis Guggenheim and crew tell viewers that the solutions are simple and "we know what works." While that's a powerful statement, there is little research -- or reality -- to back up that claim. The truth is, when it comes to implementing education reform, we don't know for sure what works. Charter School Success? Waiting for Superman has been hailed by critics as a no-holds-barred look at American education; it highlights the success of charter schools like the Harlem Success Academy and the SEED School in Washington, D.C. However, by highlighting these high-flying schools, the directors gloss over the fact that four out of five charter schools do no better than public schools. In fact, research suggests that many do worse than traditional public schools. Stanford University's CREDO National Charter School Study Program found in 2009 that charter schools often are more aspiration than achievement. Over an eight-year period, researchers at CREDO tracked the progress of charter and traditional public schools across 16 states. They found that the majority of charter schools do not outperform traditional public schools in areas like reading and math. In fact, 37 percent perform worse than traditional public schools, 46 percent performed no better and only 17 percent of charters outperformed their traditional public school counterparts. While charters are often suggested as a magical alternative to failing public schools, they are often just a substitute. Nationally, less than 5 percent of students attend charter schools, and of that small percent, few are excelling. Among the schools that do excel, replicating success is no easy task. As Richard Rothstein of the Economic Policy Institute has demonstrated, when schools do find success, it is often short-lived. The "success" that such schools enjoy is often a result of unique dynamics that can't be duplicated at other schools. Several factors are associated with good charter performance: dynamic principals, engaged teaching staff, extra instructional time, individualized educational supports and copious financial resources. But even the presence of all of these elements does not guarantee success. It's an issue that's been studied exhaustively, but thus far, research has failed to pinpoint why some schools with similar practices succeed and others don't. In short: There's no one formula for success. Money Matters Economists send a complicated message to education reformers: More money does not mean better scores, but money matters nonetheless. Despite steady increases in spending, average achievement in reading and math scores has not jumped. This has led fiscal conservatives to clamor for the government to stop "pouring" money into urban schools. But the highest-performing urban charters often draw from exceptional financial coffers. Harlem Children's Zone costs between $3,500 and $5,000 per participant, and the Children's Zone boasted a budget in 2009 of more than $40 million; the SEED School costs $35,000 annually per child. Both projects receive government allocations but also benefit from generous private donations. If we are impressed by these schools' success, we should also be willing to spend what they spend to achieve what they do. In discussions about school reform, teachers are cast as either the heroes or the heels. President Obama's Race to the Top initiative is a competition for $4.35 billion, but in order for states to compete, they must develop or already have teacher-evaluation strategies that focus on student learning. As a result, many states have adopted the most popular system of assessment: value-added models. Value-added models are designed to measure how much a student learns under a given teacher each academic year. Sounds easy enough, but the math and measurement that go into the models are complex. Sean Corcoran at New York University recently evaluated New York's value-added system and found that the measuring stick used to evaluate teachers was far from reliable. In his evaluation, he stated, "Teachers, policy makers, and school leaders should not be seduced by the simplicity of value-added." The systems in place in New York, D.C. and even states like Tennessee, which pioneered the approach, have been called into serious question for improperly evaluating teachers. As surprising as it may seem, we are a long way from a system that accurately evaluates teachers. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Due to a change in European law, from the 1st May 2010 responsibility for issuing the European Health Insurance Card (Ehic) will no longer rest only with a person's country of residence.
In practice this means that every country, including the UK, will have to issue the EHIC for all insured persons or pensioners and their dependant's resident in the UK and in all other member countries, eg a retired Briton receiving a state pension but who lives in Spain would up to now have their EHIC issued by the Spanish authorities. From 1 May 2010 the UK authorities will issue the EHIC.
The European Commission (EC) has as one of its objectives the free movement of people within the European Union (EU). Holders of the EHIC are entitled to necessary healthcare in the public system of any EU/EEA (European Economic Area) country and Switzerland, should they become ill or injured whilst on a temporary stay in that country.

Every New Zealander expects and deserves a clean, healthy environment – not just for ourselves, but to pass on to future generations. The government sets standards where appropriate so everyone in our country has clear air to breathe, clean water to drink, and clean land to live on.
We call these standards 'national environmental standards'. They are regulations issued under sections 43 and 44 of the Resource Management Act and apply nationally. They can prescribe technical standards, methods or other requirements for environmental matters. Each regional, city or district council must enforce the same standard. In some circumstances, councils can impose stricter standards.
National environmental standards not only protect people and the environment, they also secure a consistent approach and decision-making process throughout the whole country. They create a level playing field.
The following standards are in force as regulations:
The following standards are on hold pending the 2013 resource management and freshwater reforms:
The previously proposed National Environmental Standard for Measurement of Water Takes is now regulations under section 360(1)(d) of the RMA. See: Resource Management regulations.
The proposed National Environmental Standard for On-site wastewater systems has been withdrawn. Further information can be found on the On-site wastewater systems web page.
The Government will decide whether to progress a National Environmental Standard on future sea-level rise once it reviews the updated assessment of the science of climate change in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I Report (Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis). Further information can be found on the Adapting to sea-level rise web page.
For further questions about National Environmental Standards contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Also many weapons are now recognized as being two-handed and can't be worn together with a shield. Tweaking is still being done to perfect this change, so please be patient.-AI behavior has been upgraded, so the AI will choose better between spell or weapon attack.[03/25/2009] You can now access the stables from the Town Map, and purchase a fine steed!

I say we burn this mutha down. Now is the time to fight. This is war... we´re in a cold civil war and now is the time to launch our shock and awe offensive against the Marxist dictator poser in the WH.
If only I thought the GOP had any cojones.
Our Congressmen love their country too much by half. Not one is wiling to put their career on the line to stop Obama.
Well what law allows the president to even attempt to negotiate with the legislative branch.He has one right -- sign a bill Congress passes or veto it. He must accept overrides of those vetoes too.
The problem is that no bill can get through Reid´s senate, not even a budget bill.
These leftist rags are really energized by Obama tough talk on guns,debt etc.Not that they have any real value,they just want to see republicans lose.Has anybody heard that Glenn Beck is going to self finance his own city? It´ll all be about various elements of self survival.If the this city was all about green energy of some sort,Obama wold give him a grant or forgivable loan. Unfortunately he´s going to have to raise private money.Maybe Beck can sell a portion of corn production to get a ethanol subsidy though.The tyranny of obama is inspiring people who don´t want to live under a communist regime,it´ll be interesting to see how far these movements go.

How Verizon gets developers thinking about its road map
Verizon's app innovation center in San Francisco isn't just a place to drum up developer interest for the carrier; it's where you go to see what the company has cooking in terms of future capabilities and features.
I had a chance to tour the offices recently, checking out the company's RF-testing room, three labs (named after three of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and gallery of advanced devices. The innovation center is partly there to help developers with their apps, and partly there for networking events to connect developers with each other and with Verizon. … Read more

Mark Webber has once again denied speculation linking him with a move to Ferrari, insisting he is just "flavour of the month".
Spanish media reported earlier this week that the Australian, who is on a one-year rolling contract with Red Bull, will replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari at the end of this season. The paper added that Webber would only sign a one-year deal as he would make way for Sauber's Sergio Perez in 2014.
However, Webber has been quick to pour cold water over the rumours as he has seen it all before.
"Sergio was flavour of the month last week for the Ferrari drive; now it's me," he is quoted as saying by ESPNF1.
"I'm focusing 100% on this season and doing the best job for myself and Red Bull Racing. I'm not putting any energy into anything else.
"There's a whole season ahead of us before we need to think about the future. One day the talk is about Jenson [Button joining Ferrari], then it's Sergio, now it's me. I haven't signed anything.
"My focus is on this team; we've had a good start to the season, we're only four races down and the road is very, very, very long before we start talking about the future."

Different Types of Teaching
When you enter into college, one of the greatest benefits that will become apparent to you is that you have a much wider selection to choose from when it comes to choosing which courses you want to take. There are both pros and cons to having this type of selection available at your fingertips, and so it is important to consider certain things when you are selecting which courses that you are going to take. One of these considerations that you are going to want to make is what type of teaching and learning style is ideal for you. The right teaching style is going to have a profound impact on your ability to do well in a course, and so you need to choose a professor or instructor that is going to teach in the specific way that you want or need to learn.
Some teachers and instructors prefer to lecture, and your job is simply to listen and take notes. Other instructors prefer collaborative learning where everyone participates in the discussion, and a big part of your grade is going to rely on how well you participate. Some courses are based heavily on paper writing, and so you do less learning and more writing. Other courses are based largely on examinations, requiring that you do a lot of your own reading and listening to lectures so that you can remember the facts and information that you need in order to do well. Which type of course is ideal for you? Knowing is half the battle, because it will allow you to match your needs with instructors that are going to help you learn in the way that is most ideal for you.
It is important that you understand that matching your learning style with the teaching style of your instructor or professor is essential. Putting a little bit of planning and forethought into this process is definitely going to have a positive impact on your learning experience, and so it is really beneficial that you put this type of consideration into planning your college career.

Vanessa Alonso is a meteorologist and news reporter with KTVO.
LABELLE, MO -- This week's Ag Kid is 17-year-old Landon Henderson of Labelle. He was raised on his family's farm and is a fifth generation farmer. He works with cattle and pigs, but his passion is horses. "My dad used to train horses. I was always around him when he was doing that. It looked exciting to me so I wanted to do it. I started training ponies since I was young. It's what I live for." Landon has shown his horses at fairs all across Missouri since he was 2 years old. He has received numerous awards and much recognition for his hard work. "I get up every morning before school and take care of my horses, feeding them and giving them water. Then I usually have two or three horses that I spend an hour on each of them riding and training." Landon's experiences with his horses have brought a lot of funny and proud moments. "I was in a showmanship class and I was the only guy in the class. I ended up beating all the girls which is very hard to do in a showmanship class full of girls and a girl judge." Landon says agriculture is in his blood and is always going to be a part of him. "It has just been a part of my life since I was born. I never have known anything different besides horses and farming. It's a way of life for my family and it's what we do. That's what I'll continue to do." When not working with his horses, Landon likes to go hunting and play basketball. He hopes to go to college and become a veterinarian dentist. Congratulations Landon on being this week's Ag Kid.

Title: Pisces
Map Maker: Johann Ehlert Bode
Place / Date: Berlin / 1805
Coloring: Hand Colored
Size: 9 x 7 inches
Condition: VG
Price: SOLD
Inventory ID: 29761
Striking star chart centered on Pisces, published by Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826), in his Vorstellung der Gestirne auf XXXIV Tafeln, 1805.
Shows the featured constellations in color with neighboring stars and constellations without color or in much lighter colors.
Bode was born in Hamburg. His first publication was on the solar eclipse, August 5, 1766. This was followed by an elementary treatise on astronomy entitled Anleitung zur Kenntniss des gestirnten Himmels, the success of which led to his being summoned to Berlin in 1772 for the purpose of computing ephemerides on an improved plan. In 1774, Bode started the well-known Astronomisches Jahrbuch, a journal which ran to 51 yearly volumes.
Bode became director of the Berlin Observatory in 1786, where he remained until 1825. There he published the Uranographia in 1801, a celestial atlas that aimed both at scientific accuracy in showing the positions of stars and other astronomical objects, as well as the artistic interpretation of the stellar constellation figures. The Uranographia marks the climax of an epoch of artistic representation of the constellations. Later atlases showed fewer and fewer elaborate figures until they were no longer printed on such tables.
Bode also published a small star atlas, intended for astronomical amateurs (Vorstellung der Gestirne). He is credited with the discovery of Bode's Galaxy (M81). Comet Bode (C/1779 A1) is named after him; its orbit was calculated by Erik Prosperin. From 1787 to 1825 Bode was director of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut. In 1794, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In April, 1789 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.

Winchester tree set for the chop
7:00am Monday 22nd October 2012 in News
A MATURE cedar tree in a Winchester suburb has been given a death sentence by city councillors.
The planning committee has approved a plan by John Parker to cut down the tree in Stockers Avenue, Teg Down.
There were several letters of objection and also from ward councillor Eileen Berry who said the tree, believed to be 100 years old, was in good condition.
But a report to the committee said the tree was only three-four metres from two houses, including Mr Parker's, and the branches were beginning to drop.
An assessment of risk said there was a 1 in 620 chance of a limb falling; the Health and Safety Executive has said 1 in 10,000 was an acceptable level of risk. Even with remedial work the risk would still be 1 in 6,200.
The council acknowledged that the loss will affect the visual amenity of the area.

Stacie and her family visited on Mother's Day. The kiddos won prizes.
All five of them.
And as busy as she must be (I'll say it -- it must be bananas around her house some days!), Stacie took the time to email us a sweet note and this photo.
