Case Study: Case of Pricing QR Codes
Tom Crouser conducted a survey and found: 50% of printers charge for QR code creation in some manner; 25% do not charge, but throw the service in with the job; 17% will someday charge, but haven't yet figured out how; and 8% said, "Huh, what's a...
So this brings me to the many responses I received to the effect that, "I've never had a request for a QR code, so I don't know how to price them. But if I ever get a request, I will figure something out."
Hmm…QR codes are something the customers need to know about because it could make them more money. So, shouldn't we be seeking them out to tell them, or should we wait until someone asks? I'm all about seeking.
Pricing QR Codes
In pricing QR codes, it is usually not the price itself that is at issue. It is whether the seller can differentiate and justify the price that is the issue. No one knowingly pays more than they have to unless they feel it is worth it. Another way of saying that is: if all things are equal, then the lowest price wins. So, never ever allow all things to be equal.
But doesn't the lowest price win anyway? No. That's stinking thinking and is why so many printers are poor. It's too much to explain here so see my 18-minute video at www.crouser.com on the Role Price Plays in Our Success. And the answer is, "Yes, we can sell for more."
Here are customer questions you might use, taken from my QR code report.
• "Was this code generated for digital or print?" If the customer doesn't know, then perhaps you should generate it for them since there are size and resolution issues.
• "Yes, we charge $xx for the creation of a static QR code. We're careful to create the proper code—for print or digital—as there are resolution differences. And we include testing in this charge. We test during creation (pre-press) as well as during proofing and production. Not only that, our testing includes three types of smartphones: iPhone, Blackberry, and an Android. So, yes, we should charge for the creation of a static QR code. Or we can go ahead and use your copy. Which would you prefer?"
• "May I recommend using a trackable QR code? We can create one for $xx and that includes 60 days of tracking reports."
So, with an appropriate justification, one can and should charge for QR codes. Either that or use what the customer provides.
How Much?
So, how much? Should we average the charge of all printers, many of whom don't know the difference between static and trackable? Should we include those who don't know about the codes at all? I used the 50% of printers who do charge for a static QR code and found that the charges ranged from $5 to $500 (with landing page construction). So what should you charge? That's the difference between a survey and a price advisory service.
I recommend you charge from $15 to $36 for a static QR code, with a typical price being $25. The $15 price would be in a lower cost area, $36 in a higher cost area, and $25 for the broad middle cost area.
Now, if you'd like to know my recommended charges for trackable and redirectable QR codes, including monthly monitoring as well as other insights on justifying charges, please check out the report How to Price QR Codes at www.crouser.com. It is available for $75. If you would like to receive reports like these without cost, go to www.crouser.com/panel, join my panel, and participate in the studies. In addition, subscribers to any of my Crouser Price Guides receive copies of all reports at no additional charge. Got a pricing question? Message email@example.com and I'll try to give you an answer.

Signs of an erosion of conscience are occurring increasingly. Our article "Erosion of Our Conscience" explains the changes that are occurring in our society, where people no longer can tell right from wrong.

What is CAD/CAM technology?
CAD stands for computer aided design, while CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. CAM/CAD technology is used in dentistry to produce bespoke restorations and orthodontic appliances.
CAD/CAM technology is used to produce custom-made restorations, including:
- Crowns
- Dental bridges
- Veneers
- Inlays
- Onlays
- Dental implant restorations
Cerec is the most well-known form of CAD/CAM software, which allows dentists to design, manufacture and fit brand new restorations all in the same day.
What are the advantages of CAD/CAM technology?
CAD/CAM technology has numerous benefits, for both dentists and patients in Central Leeds:
- Decreased treatment time.
- Increased patient involvement.
- Increased control for the dentist.
- Increased accuracy.
- Fewer dental visits, which reduces the number of injections, which is particularly beneficial for nervous patients and those with a fear of needles and injections.
- Bespoke restorations.
- Reduced production costs.
- Increased convenience for the patient.

Black Angus Steakhouse - Blossom Hill
Online Reservations
Very good restaurant, I am very enjoy the food and service.
We have dined at this restaurant several times each year for all of the years it has been open. The food is consistently excellent, as is the service. We rarely make reservations, but almost never have a long wait. The servers are friendly and attentive, making it a great experience.
my experience was very entertaining on a crowded Friday night. Had a little wait 10 min, waiter came right away, drinks were within 3 min, appetizers were very good and came very fast. dinner was outstanding, Salmon and Rib Steak. 2 small children had a nice experience. Overall this was outstanding evening..
The Bullseye Bar is a great place to watch any sports event and the specials are great. As an older guy, its nice that it isn't too rowdy or loud. Its a laid back and mellow place where you can cheer for your favorite team, enjoy a frosty beverage, and eat good food. Go check it out....
There were 10 of us for my sons 27th birthday. We all got the Campfire Feast. There was so much food and everyone got the correct steak. When something was requested it came right away. It was a busy Saturday night but our service was very good and everyone was happy with everything. They even sang happy birthday and brought out a giant warm cookie with ice cream for all to share. Wonderful time . Thank you.
We had a couple not so good meals here, but this evening they seemed back on their game. I tried the salmon this time and it was cooked perfectly. The ribeye, salad, sides, and dessert were also excellent.
We wanted to celebrate my Grandmother's 83rd birthday with about 15 family members coming in from various parts of the country (one as far as South Carolina). Black Angus Blossom Hill was outstanding both in food and service! Grandma said it was once of the best birthdays she ever had. Thank you so much for helping make our celebration such a success!
This is one of our favorite places to bring friends or get together with family members. The food and service are very good, portions are generous, and it's a big open space with nice decor, very comfortable, and even when it's crowded and busy it doesn't get noisy and you don't feel cramped. This time around the prime rib and steaks were quite as good as usual -- they were slightly undercooked (we ordered medium-rare); we probably should have sent them back but didn't so that's on us. Everything else was fabulous as usual, the bread, the appetizers, the sides, the desserts, all delicious. Our server was terrific. We always get discount coupons in the mail and always come in and use them; it's a good value.
we have been going to this Black Angus for years and are always pleased; which is why we keep going back. The e-mail specials i recieve can't be beet for price or quality! Plus we always recieve a free dinner voucher for our birthdays which is always an added treat.
Having avoided Black Angus for a while due to the crowds, slow service and noise, we found it to be great tonight! We had rack of lamb that was delicious, my father had the biggest flat iron steak ever that was cooked to perfection, and the baked potatoes were wonderful. The waiter was very attentive and offered good suggestions. Every thing has improved at Black Angus.
Our old standby dinner out. Food great, comfortable environment, reasonable prices. If seated in bar area and not looking for sports it is a bit noisy.
We picked Black Angus to dine because of their great food, customer service and location. My family loves to go here to celebrate family birthdays and reunions. That's why we were there that day. We always have great experiences dining at Black Angus. We will absolutely go back.
Black Angus is fantastic! The hosts were very friendly, I told them I had a reservation & they sat me right away. On Opentable I put in a special request for open space next to our table for a baby stroller & was suprised that they had it. Our waiter (Joey) was friendly, funny, & knowledgable about the food making some recommendations. Getting the food was a little bit slow but understandable because it looked like a packed house. Overall everything including Opentable was great & easy. I ended up tipping our waiter Joey on top of the gratuiety because I was so satisfied with the service. We were even thanked by 3 different workers on the way out. Nice touch! Fyi, make sure you get a reservation or else!
Great food. Excellent service without being obtrusive. Quiet, allows for conversation. Lighting low enough to allow for intimacy. Never get the feeling of being rushed. Reservations advisable.
Fairly quiet, good food, quick/courteous service, good specials, minimum wait with reservation.
each month they offer a great special (need coupon/online) this month was lobster, prawns and a steak with 2 side choices (which are also a great selection...steak soup yum yum) my wife and i go to this Black Angus 2-4 times per month just for the specials.
We were hosted by Brian and he did a sensational job. The staff was attentive to our needs, glasses were refilled before empty, the and the food was very good. Our only hiccup came with dessert which was dry on the outside....perhaps a little too much time in the cooler got it dehydrated. Overall a very nice experience including music which wasn't too loud. A very good value for the money.
The food was excellent and I stuffed myself. If you like steaks and prime rib with salad and side dishes, this is the place. The restaurant is consistent and does all their dishes competently to very well. I don't eat meat every day, but when I am craving some beef, I enjoy Black Angus.
Enjoyed the sirloin steak, baby lobster tail and breaded shrimp dinner using an emailed coupon. Saturday night was packed but with a reservation, we were seated on schedule, served promptly and pleasantly. Dinner was hot and delicious. Love the molasses bread - best bread around. Love the varied choices available for the two sides. Always enjoy my meal here.
We met at a Black Angus restaurant 28 years ago and were subsequently married. We have special feelings for the Black Angus.
Go to Black Angus at least once a year. Always good food, great friendly service. For good sized restaurant, it is calm and quiet. Never hesitate to go back or recommend to others. Menu is pretty varied. Notice the beef prices have jumped since there last, oh well!
We like dining here because the steak is always cooked just right and the food hot. It's a great place in our neighborhood to get together with friends because it isn't so noisy that you can't have a conversation. We also like being able to make reservations, as many of the restaurants in our neighborhood do not take reservations and the wait is often too long.
Their Sampler Appetizer is the best! Great food for the price.
Always good food and good prices. The coupons are a gem to help you enjoy a more costly meal.
Great long time reputation of good food, casual atmosphere family friendly.
We were very pleased with our experience. The server "Brian" was great. He really made it worth while. It was our anniversary dinner. So having a really amazing server was great.
We ordered the steak, lobster and shrimp combination special. It was excellent. The steak and lobster portions were both larger than I expected and was very tasty and served hot.
When you want a nice piece of meat cooked just how you like it, this is the place to go. It's a bit loud for my taste and I don't like to be facing other diners but I hardly noticed cause the steak was so awesome. My husband's lobster was a bit on the dry/chewy side though
The restaurant was extremely crowded, but the food was terrific as always, and the service (though a bit slower than usual) was very good, too.
We always enjoy eating there. We bring people who Have not eaten at one or it has been a long time. They are always blown away by the great food And just a good time.
This is the restaurant we used to go to eat steak but the experience we had recently was the best. Sherry was our server and she was excellent - quick to react to our requests and very considerate to provide our needs even before we asked. The steak were cooked perfectly however the food was overall a little salty.
It was my wife's birthday, and she enjoyed the experience very much. The first table and booth in the corner we were seated at was not cleaned, so we had to move to another table adjacent. However, once moved, the second table and booth were clean, the service was very good and the food delicious. The restaurant has always had a medium to high noise level. Overall, our experience was pleasurable and we will continue coming back for other occasions. Thank you, Michael
Food was great as usual. I like being able to make reservation. When we got their we were seated within 5 minutes.
Great place for steak and lobster. If you love loaded baked potatoes you get them here as well. Make RSVP on line, otherwise plan on waiting 30 to 50 minutes for a table.
Great service, great table, everything ready for us!
We both had the Filet Mignon, done just right. Service was very good, price was right, and we were seated in just a few minutes.
had a reservation for 6 pm was seated at 7. after that it was great
upon request you can be in a quiet corner or the lively bar. western motif.
For a busy night the staff did a excellent job! The food was good and hot too!
Thanksgiving Dinner was great! My "orphan" friend, my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our no-muss/no-fuss Holiday!
We had our Thanksgiving Day lunch there for the first time and it was excellent from food to service.... No complaints, will return in the future...
Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings--this restaurant knows how to do it right. Food, service and atmosphere was outstanding. And, we took home our pumpkin pie to have later.
Thanksgiving only waited 30 minutes. They had a lot of people waiting. But it was ok. Once seated everything was good. Food and service was great. Waiting for the next time we go back.
For being busy, service was good. I'm more into seafood and this place is more of a steakhouse. My son had filet and lobster tail. If I would have let him, he would have licked the plate.
I had company from Canada, we had a great time, great food and great service. The only suggestion I have is to invest in the paging system that light up when your table is ready. At this time they have someone calling your name, and with the noise a couple of people did not hear their call!
I brought a visitor from New York to Black Angus where we took advantage of one of their coupons. We share an appetizer, each chose two sides and selected our meat. We enjoyed sharing their raspberry cheese cake for dessert. The steaks were cooked perfectly (his well done, mine medium), and the sides were the right portion. My vegetables were a bit overcooked but all in all this was a very nice meal.
We go there at the very beginning of the dinner hour so the staff was probably 'ramping up'. It took twice as long for our server to take our order and deliver drinks as the table of 4 that arrived 30 minutes after us. The appetizer and salad were the high points of the meal. The Wedge Salad had so much bleu cheese on it that I actually pushed some of it aside. I couldn't finish the salad but it was excellent! The current trend in restaurants is to serve thin steaks. No more than 1/2 thick. Sorry, they just don't taste as good as a nice thick cut. But a thick cut takes more time & skill to cook. Avoid the French fries and onion rings.
We were a party of three celebrating my wife's 63rd birthday. We had a 5:00pm reservation made online and arrived about 10min late. We were immediately seated. Order was placed with an energetic waiter and arrived within 15min. We started with an appetizer (artichokes), bread & water for all three of us. Main meal consisted of Campfire for 2 (Prime rib for both) and Filet&Lobster tail. We finished with mountain fudge cake dessert. Food was excellent and my wife took home leftovers for lunch the next day.
If you like your prime rib run through the Hobart slicer, then order the 9 oz! Cooked just right but a rather thin piece. Beans with bacon? Real bacon or those processed baco' bits? Very good service althought food was brought out with little time to enjoy our drinks prior.
Good moderately priced western-style steakhouse. Not a gourmet's restaurant but nicely prepared food of consistent quality. Servers are accommodating and attentive. Good bar area with a number of dining tables where one can watch a multitude of big screen TV's (watched 4 games at the same time).

Each year the GSU counseling program conducts a meeting of its advisory council. This meeting is designed to enlist the support of community members who serve our program and are a part of the counseling profession to give feedback to the counseling program faculty on how we are doing as a program and how we can improve our training program to better meet the needs of the community and profession.
Graduates of the counseling program are surveyed after they have successfully defended their portfolios and graduated from the program. The results of this grouping of surveys are incorporated into the program for improvement and feedback.
In academic year 2004-2005, Governors State University's counseling program began conducting their assessment of the employers who hired our graduates over the past three or more years.The employer surveys returned to the GSU counseling program overwhelmingly rated our graduates satisfactorily. Each sequence was represented in the survey of employers and the results are in. GSU graduates have maintained a favorable impression in the each sequence taught and continue to serve the profession competently while maintaining the reputation of the GSU counseling program.
Each year the counseling program at GSU hosts a training meeting for our site supervisors. This meeting is designed to provide training to all of our site supervisors that represent each sequence that we have at GSU.
Each month during the academic year the counseling program holds a meeting to discuss current and future issues within the counseling program. The meetings that we hold are held to manage the program according to our accreditation needs, student issues and course scheduling.
To graduate from the counseling program at GSU each sequence requires an oral defense of their internship which is reviewed by three tenure or tenure-track faculty members. Each student is tasked to meet with their chair of their internship and determine a date and time to defend their work. Students are asked to complete a portfolio inclusive of their internship experiences. Appendix F holds the requirements for internship portfolios for all sequences. The evidence room will hold examples of graduate portfolios completed by our graduates.
In Illinois graduates are required to take the National Counselor Exam as part of their licensing. NCE is used to examine our course content and our overall ability to determine if our pedagological methods are in league with national standards. The NCE serves as our litmus test for our teaching and program requirements.
Each semester students are asked to evaluate the faculty member responsible for their courses. GSU uses a one page evaluation form of standard questions that also allow for the professor to add additional questions. Surveys are used by the Chair of the Division to assist professors with their retention packets as well as supervision and feedback. Each professor receives their feedback from the students confidentially from the University. Professors maintain their own record of evaluations for their personal growth and development.

SWLA Christmas Events List
If you're looking for Christmas events here in SWLA or anywhere in the state, here's a complete schedule of events.
Last week we lost a treasure to the world. A man who solidifies peace and forgiveness. At the age of 95 we lost Nelson Mandela. He was actually released from prison in South Africa in 1990 after being locked up for 27 years. A few months after being released. He gave this very touching speech, and you can check it out here.
There's no time like the present, when it comes to changing your diet and exercising. Make up your mind today. Make a pact with yourself to live and eat healthier.
Much of the country got slammed by snow this past week, which means lots of us had to break out our shovels for the first time this season. For some, it didn't go so well.
Hungry? Want lunch for you and a friend? Well, how about a pair of three-tender dinners from Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits? Get 'em spicy or mild -- your call! And enter to win as many times as you like! Get your entries in before Friday, Dec. 13!

Need a quick, delicious lunch? Well, you could win a pair of extra value meals from McDonald's -- one for you and one for a pal! We'll draw two winners on Friday, Dec. 13, so get your entries in now!
Most of the time NFL coaches are fired in the off-season. That will not be the case of the team with the worse record in professional football. ESPN is reporting the Houston Texans have fired Gary Kubiak.
It doesn't matter how old you are—dogs are funny.

Many of you know NationStates, this is the second time I chose to play, to officially play. Recently I came across an issue that I, first off, don't have any knowledge on. I've never delved into the subject let alone the addition of younger people.
Children Gambling, what are repercussions? Problems?
Don't insult me, just because I don't know how long a virus can live for outside of a body doesn't mean I'm stupid :P
I'm guessing this decision will ban Gambling altogether, but I don't see a reason to ban it. Hell, it'd probably be a better way for my economy to raise up, even though we rarely use currency here.Social activist Gertie King is outraged. "Gambling needs to be outlawed immediately. It's no wonder children are becoming sucked into the vice, with adults setting such a poor example. Gambling is a stain on Magna Aequitas's international reputation and it must be stopped!"
I'm slightly siding with this. I really don't see the harm.However, Crown Casino chairperson Lucas Rubin says, "What's wrong with children gambling? It prepares them for the realities of life, teaching them that success or failure is not due to hard work or intelligence, but the roll of the dice. Besides, if kids weren't gambling, they'd be spraypainting trains."
Okay, so a child has been given a few Gold Coins (Magna Aequitas current currency), it is theirs, their choice to use it how they wish. It's not exactly me encouraging them to gamble. But I seriously don't see a problem with gambling, period, let alone a child gambling. Now, gambling halls with half/naked dancers, I would have a problem with.
But, I reach out to nearby neighbors. What do you see as problems with children gambling, or gambling in general? Do benefits, if any, outweigh the costs?

Down East 2013 ©
The tree-lighting ceremony is a magical moment for Portland, but it can be a logistical nightmare for Jeff Tarling, the city arborist. Tarling, entrusted with selecting the tree, transporting it, and erecting it in Monument Square, takes us through the precarious process, and explains why he's done it for the past twenty-one years.
The Selection Process
"We put out a press release asking for a forty-five to sixty-foot tree within fifteen miles of Portland. Portland's Downtown District (PDD) starts getting pictures, usually of blue spruces, and we rate them based on our ability to safely lift it on the flatbed. Physically we look for a full, round tree. Pines tend to be too open and hemlocks don't have the right needle retention. Norway spruce is the best, but a little too wide. It's basically exactly how you would judge one at the market, except you have to super-size the process. From my tree hugger perspective, I'd like to leave a nice tree standing, but those being donated are often ones that have become a problem for their owners."
Through Downtown Portland
"Towns provide police cars to lead the tree, which creates a moving roadblock so we can just drive down the middle of the road. We use the largest low flatbed truck possible, moving at only a few miles per hour. Driving a forty-five-foot spruce down the road isn't an easy task. We have to go right up Mellen Street and onto Congress, which is steep with a sharp left. About ten years ago we had a tree that was perfect, but too big. On our way down Congress it was brushing up against cars on the side. It took us four hours to go two miles from Baxter Boulevard to Monument Square."
Erecting it in Monument Square
"The most difficult part is putting it up. You have to guide it into the tree stand safely, especially on those windy November days with lots of people watching, and buildings all around. It then takes three days to put up several thousand lights from top to bottom. The challenge is working your way around the tree. We will use two-bucket trucks, with workers who hand off lights to one another. In total we use probably one hundred sets connected through an industrial extension cord that runs up the trunk. It's pretty elaborate. Even after all that, it's always a relief that the lights actually work during the ceremony."
Ending the Season
"I used to go as a kid to the lighting so it's great to be a part of a tradition you can help pass on. My daughter is now in her twenties, but for many years she'd help me drive the truck into Portland with the tree. We would go out before Thanksgiving and test the tree lights to give her a sneak peek. The tree comes down the first of January. We use all the bows of the tree to mulch the flowerbeds in the city, and we recycle the rest to use as wood chips. The entire transporting process is such an anomaly compared to the rest of my job. I love it because it's my way of giving back to the community."

On Friday evenings during August, Vineyard Gardens in West Tisbury is transformed into a community art gallery. Works of art are arranged among the plants and paintings are hung from benches turned on end.
"The idea came from wanting to support the local artists and knowing that our flowers would complement their work and their artwork would complement our flower plant displays," said Christine Wiley, who owns Vineyard Gardens with her husband, Chuck Wiley.
Glenn Tunstull treats an art exhibition like a fashion show.
Whereas fabrics and patterns decorate a model, swatches and brush strokes dress his canvas.
"Each painting represents where I am today," Mr. Tunstull said.
Chicken Alley is the place to be, rain or shine this weekend. The annual Art and Collectable Sale is preceded this year by a new event, the Needle Book Fashion Show Community Couture. Both events raise funds for Martha's Vineyard Community Services.
Valentine Estabrook brings her solo show to the Dockside Inn on Saturday, July 20, from 4 to 7 p.m.. Her works include plein-air pastel and oil paintings of the Island landscape.
The Dockside Inn is located at 9 Circuit avenue extension in Oak Bluffs. Ms. Estabrook will provide a demonstration along with information about online and on-Island workshops.
Island artists donate from 40 to 100 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of their work to benefit the cause. Appetizers and desserts are donated by Island restaurants, caterers and chefs.
The opening gala benefit is from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, at the Agricultural Hall in West Tisbury. Music will be provided by Jeremy Berlin.
Enjoy the crisp August weather outdoors or stay indoors and visit one of the many art galleries on the Island? Thanks to Vineyard Gardens' Gallery in the Garden events, held each Friday evening in August, the decision became a simple one: do both.
Pottery, Soup and Music
This weekend Feathersone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs is holding its third annual Potters Bowl with guest curator Washington Ledesma.
The idea behind the event is both basic and beautiful. Visitors to the show are asked to buy a ceramic bowl for $25 and then they get a free bowl of soup plus a roll, drink and dessert. Talk about art literally satisyfing an inner hunger.
This weekend, the A Gallery in Vineyard Haven introduces a pair of contemporary Island painters, Lily Morris and Billy Hoff, in new show featuring their recent work. Ms. Morris' partly blurred but vibrant paintings depict dreamlike moments of transformation. Mr. Hoff's landscapes and figurative paintings are inspired by illustrators like N. C. Wyeth and Howard Pyle, and combine large brushstrokes with intensity of color and emotion.
When eating out, diners typically only have to choose the food that goes on their plate, not the plate itself.
Not so at the Potters' Bowl, the annual Featherstone fundraising event held last Sunday evening. Now in its third summer, the Bowl is based on a simple concept: buy a unique, locally crafted bowl (or two), and get free soup. All proceeds in turn go to support Featherstone's clay studio.
"People were lined up at a quarter to four," committee chair Debbie Hale said. "We're bringing out every bowl."

WISSAHICKON — Stony Creek Elementary School parents continue to be confused about the sudden suspension of a beloved teacher, with that confusion quickly turning into anger directed at the Wissahickon School Board.
For the second meeting in a row, parents showed up at the April 16 meeting asking for an explanation for the removal of their children's teacher and imploring the board to reinstate her.
At the board's March 26 meeting, parents complained about the suspension of a fourth-grade teacher at Stony Creek Elementary. Parents praised the teacher as one of the best in the district and expressed frustration that they had been given no explanation for her sudden removal from the classroom.
While the district has offered no explanation or comment on the suspension, parent Amy Ostroff offered what she believes to be the reason behind the suspension at the March 26 meeting.
Ostroff said she and her husband recently traveled to South Africa for work with their nonprofit organization, and she had expressed concerns to the teacher about being apart from their son, who is in the teacher's class. The teacher offered to take her son out to dinner one night while the Ostroffs were away, she said, and the teacher asked Ostroff to write a note granting permission. While Ostroff wrote an email granting permission to the teacher, she forgot to copy Principal Gary Abbamont on the email, which she said she believes is the cause for the suspension.
At the April 16 meeting, support for the teacher's return to the classroom continued.
"She was the best teacher I ever had," Charlie Foster, Ostroff's son, said. "Please let her finish being my teacher."
Charlie's father, Jon Ostroff, said the teacher had been a great fit for his son and was that teacher he'll never forget.
"Now, this school board is transforming Charlie's fourth-grade experience into the year he'll never understand," he said.
Ostroff said by offering parents no explanation for the suspension, they have drawn their own conclusion that the suspension was motivated by money and the teacher's innovative methods.
"First, you've replaced with an inexperienced teacher that is probably costing this district less than half as much," he said. "Second, this is attractive to this board because is like a square peg in this administration's round hole.
"Instead of working your mysterious issues out in a practical way with , instead of allowing her students the continuity they deserve, this administration has instead chosen to throw her out," he said. "Perhaps you're not firing her outright, but your passive-aggressive effort to run her out of this district as if she robbed the cafeteria is arguably worse."
For the second meeting in a row, parent Andrew Moore asked for an explanation for the suspension, noting he has learned the teacher herself is unaware of the reasoning.
Moore complained that the replacement teacher has been ineffective, with the children going from a Fulbright scholar to a "substitute teacher" with less than three years of experience.
"It's a disgrace. It's an embarrassment," he said. "The harm that you are creating is a disgrace. You should all be ashamed of yourselves."
The district again declined to comment on the suspension.
"This is a personnel matter," said Scott Wolpert, an attorney for the district. "The district and the board will not comment publicly about this."

In response to tomobo's comment:
A closeout game 6 performance for the ages in 2008(check out the stats!) should certainly qualify...Besides Russell, no other Celtic great came close to willing his team to relevance in theirlast 5 yrs. Also, look @ when you first started posting(I don't know when this forum started). Is it a coincidence that it was after the KG era? And lastly, all things being equal(one championship a piece) who will be remembered as the better HOFer. KG or Fierce, err, Pierce? Give the man his propers...
You can't be serious. That close out Game 6 where the Celts beat the Lakers by 39 points?
Ray Allen had 7 3-pointers in that game.
Sure KG had great stats in that game. But Ray was 7-9 from 3pt land in that game also.
Right off the bat that's your KG's most memorable game as a Celtic?
That game was over by halftime.

Posted 5:08 PM 12/13/2012 : Consultant educates property owners on metal thefts
TUCSON- Metal theft is a national epidemic, so much so that there is a metal theft training consultant organization.
Thursday, property owners met with a consultant in Tucson to find out more about this crime and how to prevent it.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates copper theft costs the nation $1 billion a year. Just a couple of years ago, copper wire was stolen from the property Gay Jarvis manages.
"They cut this as far down as they can, and even this much as you heard today can be worth a few dollars," said Jarvis.
To keep it from happening again, the company replaced it, and painted it to match the building so it's harder to see.
It's a technique that has served her well.
"Especially a night when they're working in the dark, it's much harder to find this," said Jarvis.
Terry Alling, a metal theft training consultant, said the key to decreasing metal thefts is education.
"Copper thieves go from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It's an opportunistic crime," said Alling.
He travels the country educating law enforcement and property owners on how thieves burn, strip copper, choose their targets and sometimes get away with it.
There will be another training session on Friday for law enforcement.

Ina came to the Chicago area in late October. The line was out the door and around the mall at 2 or 3 hours before she was even due there at Barnes and Noble.
I was fortunate enough to have been at a luncheon a few years earlier and she was the featured guest speaker. What a delightful and personable woman.
I have all of her books --just love them. - November 9, 2010 at 8:32 AM

Normally, this domestic squabble would be of no concern to Archie Bunker, who would just as soon have all the Jeffersons move away. But Archie hadn't reckoned with Edith, who not only allows Lionel to move in with the Bunkers, but extends him every conceivable courtesy of the house.

connec t ion Helping Protect and Serve safety issues, not only for the victims or potential victims of various incidents, but for emergency response personnel who are attempting to provide a variety of services in already less-than-desirable conditions." For those seeking entry into the program, a week-long course introduces participants to meteorological concepts, radar and the OK-First decision-support system. These Full Certification courses are held twice per year. Fully certified participants may also send their assistants and support staff to a two-day Assistants Course for basic radar interpretation fundamentals. Fully certified participants are required to attend at least one Recertification Course every 18 months. Paula Cain, Emergency Manager Director for Ponca City, is a long-time OK-First user and appreciates the program being designed to help with emergency manager responsibilities. "What I really appreciate about OK First is the dedication to training," Cain said. "With OK-First, the training is ongoing. Between lessons on the website and the required refresher classes, I am learning something new or understanding something better all the time. I want to emphasize that the training is required for participation. It is easy to neglect keeping up with training needs when you have an emergency manager's workload, but OK-First staff recognize that training is the most critical element they can provide." James Hocker, OK-First Program Manager, said since OK-First began in 1996, the mission has been to provide our state's decision makers with critical weather-related decision-support tools and the associated training on how to best use and interpret them. While much has changed with training, products and how information is received, the core mission remains unchanged. "The specificity of information available to us from the Mesonet greatly enhances our ability to pinpoint important weather-related factors, trends and developments," Barnes said. "Your continued support and the provision of these services are some of the greatest response tools we have available to us. I know from personal experience, and from multiple discussions with responders of all disciplines from around the state, that Mesonet resources and information are a contributing factor to our ability to protect and serve our citizens." Volume 4 — Issue 3 — March 2013 www.mesonet.org THE MESONET'S OK-FIRST PROGRAM helps public safety officials make more informed and faster decisions. That is critical during severe weather to save lives, money and resources. "Mesonet information is of tremendous value during many events, including wildland fires, snow & ice storms, wind events, thunderstorm events, hazardous materials events, floods, and I am sure many others," said David Barnes, Oklahoma County Emergency Manager. "This is true particularly where longer-term, outdoor activities are necessary or where weather factors have a direct impact on protective measures and planned response efforts." Barnes uses the Mesonet during many occasions, like the Luther wildland fire in August 2012. The products from the Mesonet helped identify wind shifts and changes in wind speed during this event. "This ability directly translates not only to related fire behavior issues, but also has a significant impact on overall incident planning activities and resource needs/utilization decisions," Barnes said. "All of this supports overall life- –by Stephanie Bowen OK-First offers training throughout the year to provide state decision makers with critical weather-related decision-support tools.

The Torah refers to Yehoshua as Yehoshua Bin Nun. (See here for an example).
Why Bin Nun and not Ben Nun?
Are there any places in Tanach where he is referred to as Ben Nun?
Is there anyone else in Tanach who is referred to as Bin instead of Ben?

According to Radak (Yehoshua 1:1), this is grammatically proper for "ben" to become "bin" when it and the following word are small and connected together in speech. Other examples where "ben" becomes "bin":

The Kingfisher Airlines, however, denied the claim. "The Airbus Corporate jet VT-VJM, has not been impounded and is not capable of being impounded as the aircraft is not owned by Kingfisher Airlines which is merely the operator under the non-scheduled operators permit," said the spokesperson.
The spokesperson added that CJ Leasing Limited a company based in Cayman Islands owns the aircraft and it is currently mortgaged with the Deutsche Bank in London.
Interestingly the airline had given the same argument to deny the detention of one of its turboprop aircraft VT-KAR in December. "No other aircraft other than Airbus A320 passenger jet (VT-DNZ) and an ATR-72-500 (VT-KAR) have been impounded," said the spokesperson on Thursday.
These two aircraft were impounded in December against pending dues worth approximately Rs. 200 crore.
Meanwhile, Kingfisher employees who had threatened to move court and approach the government to order an inquiry against the company on Wednesday received an email from Mallya assuring them that the management was trying hard to restart the airline.

Worldwide Smartphone Shipments on Pace to Grow Nearly 40% in 2013 While Average Selling Prices Decline More Than 12%
IDC Press Release
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. November 26, 2013 – According to a recently published mobile phone forecast from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, worldwide smartphone shipments are expected to surpass 1.0 billion units in 2013, representing 39.3% growth over 2012. Despite a number of mature markets nearing smartphone saturation, the demand for low-cost computing in emerging markets continues to drive the smartphone market forward. By 2017, total smartphone shipments are expected to approach 1.7 billion units, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4% from 2013 to 2017.
A number of trends co-exist in the global smartphone market, but none have more of an affect on driving market growth than the steady decline in average selling prices (ASPs). Android has enabled a number of new manufacturers to enter the smartphone market supported by a variety of turnkey processing solutions. Many of these handset vendors have focused on low-cost devices as a way to build brand awareness. In 2013, IDC expects smartphone ASPs to be $337, down -12.8% from $387 in 2012. This trend will continue in the years to come and IDC expects smartphone ASPs to gradually drop to $265 by 2017.
"The game has changed quite drastically due to the decline in smartphone ASPs," said Ryan Reith, Program Director with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. "Just a few years back the industry was talking about the next billion people to connect, and it was assumed the majority of these people would do so by way of the feature phone. Given the trajectory of ASPs, smartphones are now a very realistic option to connect those billion users."

Fabregas' future at Barcelona has been the subject of constant speculation this summer with United having seen two bids rejected for the former Arsenal captain.
Barcelona insist the midfielder is not for sale at any price, and Mascherano believes Fabregas is happy to stay in Catalonia.
"I didn't talk to him but I think he is happy," Mascherano told Sky Sports News.
"It is difficult when you have to speak about the personal situation of other players because sometimes you don't know what they think.
"I see him here training and he is happy. He grew up in Barcelona and feels the call of the shirt.
"It is difficult when you grow up here to leave because Barcelona is a big team, a big city, really nice to live in and all his family is here.
"I think he is a really key player for us and I think the coach and the people who work here want to keep him."

-- one and a half billion dollars.
That's the latest damage estimate from tropical storm -- Rampage in the Gulf Coast joining me now on the insurance nightmare headed our way.
Doctor Robert -- -- president of the Insurance Information Institute.
Bob thanks for joining us tonight.
You -- I think you and I.
Have been talking about.
Insurance coverage in hurricanes for seven years now.
And we just seeing these numbers get higher and higher in at the current estimates are right.
They're gonna be about the average of the annual flood losses that happen every year which are about two point seven billion.
What do you make of these a loss estimates do you think they're on target.
Well we have the an early modeling -- Right now about one and a half billion dollars we've got -- -- back in 2008 come across the -- Bay Area and that produced about 2.2 billion dollars.
-- -- The private insurers but I -- about the wind up with a billion or two more actually of the national flood insurance for a program a federal program.
Most people -- Portland area have coverage through the what program but we found out that complacent he might have -- and but not a lot of storms of Katrina some people ran out but covered after Katrina but unfortunately.
Have not kept that in light.
Both Bob Hope and that the Portland area as well as in -- that they're -- speak.
If those people are covered however if you've got wind damage that -- -- your standard -- all right Jared how big are your business all of.
But Bob that's -- headline.
If you think people got complacent -- they are we to have a lot of people paying out of pocket.
For the cost of this damage from this devastating.
Live and and and storm that's gonna be difficult for those people down there and now -- I guess we just can't reiterate enough almost everybody needs flood insurance coverage it's not if you just live in a coastal zone correct.
Particularly in the media and it it did you have major rivers and -- every place and -- -- so low lying that the majority of people need to coverage.
And did you didn't -- at this -- Iraqi.
Need to run out buy it now because we're not over with -- Well -- have to do with thirty days before Raduyev actually -- you can't do it at the last second.
I wanted to show folks how this lines up with at damage from other storms Katrina.
Sixteen billion Hurricane -- back in 082 point 64 billion remember Ivan and -- 41 point 58 billion.
This doesn't really score with some of those it's certainly not as -- -- Katrina but the damage seems even more widespread how is this storm different from others.
Well it's very different from Katrina and in the following respect because we've not had a reaching up a -- -- -- that created tremendous business in eruption lot in the beauty of the world did that we couldn't get back and equity.
Form bonds that look like that would not happen this time around -- therefore we will not have the -- -- is an eruption lot that we saw last time.
Not that's good news don't look like this that that Wallach of global over right now.
Odd idiot or all of the data release candidate that it will be able to get -- beaten much more quickly that we thought that you're not much much more quickly Mike what expense.
Other PM one thing you can say to folks out there about what they should be doing tonight if -- in that.
Eye of the storm or or had just been passed by the storm what would you say about covering -- right.
I'd state they stayed right now and and start to make an assessment of the damage to your home at any damage to the best that you have.
And get ready to -- your -- bout with your with your insurance company either all the company directly or call your agent.
And companies will be swarming the area over the next several days.
That's going to be hard some people don't have telephone service.
I have to watch whereas those pop up agents say often -- is that the communities that are in.
OK well I think the cat -- will be in the areas that.
It -- they're allowed into the area.
