Top Teachers: Ryan Stein
Pinchbeck E.S., fourth grade
There's been a revolution at Pinchbeck Elementary. Take a moment and let the fourth-grade parents tell you about it: "My daughter always complained about going to school until this year," said one. "Now she can't wait to go and she is so excited about what she is learning." "My child was starting to dread school," said another, "because the rigor of the SOLs was creating pressure to squeeze so much material into the school day. Mr. [Ryan] Stein has creatively managed to marry fun with learning." "[Our child] was struggling, had low self esteem due to low grades, and had little on-on-one attention and guidance from his prior school," said a third parent. This year he . . . never wants to miss school." Even students who were "okay with school" in the BMS [Before Mr. Stein] era have been transformed – into wildly enthusiastic. "My daughter comes home each day talking about all the things she is doing in class," said a parent. "She is eager to do homework [or] sing a song about [what she is learning]." "In a few short weeks," added another, "Mr. Stein has turned my son around from being a reluctant reader to being an enthusiastic one. My son's grades have gone up and he can't wait to get to school. "I have never seen my child so happy and eager to learn," wrote one enthused parent. "Mr. Stein is the teacher every parent dreams of having for their child." In Ryan Stein's class, say parents, there is no such thing as rote memorization. Instead of lecturing about the trials and tribulations of Jamestown, he has students dress up and hold a mock trial, playing the roles of judges and lawyers. He also brings in "mystery readers" from the community and writes songs for the students that teach Virginia history. The students then dress as characters from that period and sing the lyrics to create a "dance video." "He is the textbook case for the way teachers should be teaching to prepare their students for the 21st century," wrote a parent. "In the first nine weeks of school, my son has already composed a PowerPoint book report and a video book, been a lawyer in a mock trial, acted in a rap video and filmed a Claymation animation video. That is some pretty techno-savvy work for fourth graders. "Mr. Stein truly brings learning to life." Outside of class, Stein (pictured with his class on '70s day) attends students' extracurricular activities and conducts voluntary reading groups, allowing students who have read the book to eat lunch with him and discuss it. He also invites students to stay after school and watch movies based on books the class has read. If a student is upset about something, he eats lunch with the child and shares his own growing-up experiences. During recess, when the boys in his class like to play football, he refuses to segregate the class and supervise the girls in a separate activity. Instead, he plays quarterback for the girls' team and leads them in games with the boys. An advocate of year-round schools, Stein has created blogs and other tools as a way of extending learning outside the school day. Because instructional time is so limited, he said, it is imperative for students to have a tool that they will "embrace, enjoy using and learn from at home daily, including the weekends." Stein, who has provided hundreds of workshops for college students and teachers on integrating 21st-century technology into teaching, said he developed his teaching philosophy by "stealing bits and pieces" from outstanding teachers and administrators he has known. "But hands down," he said, "the greatest influence on me [as a teacher] has been my mother. Her passion, determination, work ethic, and enthusiasm for making a difference in the world are highlighted every single day in my classroom. She made me realize that life is about whom we are and what we give rather than what we have." This past January, he experienced his most rewarding moment as a teacher when the 100th Virginia school chose to implement History MVP, the educational songs and computer software program he developed for daily instruction. "My dream of implementing my innovative teaching tools and philosophy by using music and dance to engage, educate, and inspire children in school all throughout Virginia has finally come true," said Stein. "I have found my profession to be extremely rewarding, and I am grateful to all my students for enriching my life." |

Google And Site Age
Posted 30 August 2004 - 11:24 AM
I've been out of the SEO loop for a couple of months. I'm now trying to get a site ranked for fairly easy keywords. The site is 5 months old, has enough inbound links, isn't spammy etc. Still no luck. Getting a gazillion visitors/month from Yahoo, but 16 from G during the whole of August!
Only thing I can think of is the age of the site. It's exactly like another site of mine in many respects, but (of course) different content and a different topic. The other sites gets 20K visitors/month - mostly from G. Age is the only big difference between these two.
Could that be it? Is G just slow?
Am I missing something?
Many thanks.

Yup, it sounds like what has come to be known as the Sandbox effect to me also. Nobody knows for sure if it's true, but it sure seems to be from the outside looking in.
There are a few posts around here regarding this type if thing. A search of the forums should bring them up for you.

Also keep in mind that it is the phrases that get sandboxed not the entire site, so the site should rank for some phrases, it's just the anchor text ones that should get sandboxed.

I am having the same problem with my site, it has been up about 4 months and I have great listings in Yahoo, now getting coverage in MSN, Alta Vista, etc.,
But I am nowhere in Google. The only way I am getting Google traffic is to pay for it.
I don't know how long this is going to last...I hope not more than six month...
Since your site is older than mine, let me know when it starts to clear up!!!

It was awful. It was old and in desperate need of a remodel. There was no water pressure in the sink. I question how the sheets were washed.

"Bad location!"
I was very disappointed with the condition of this "Motel" that I thought was a hotel when I booked it!! I didn't feel safe because it looked dark in the parking lot and when I was checking in the front desk received a phone call from one of the guest asking for security!!! The Front desk clerk told the guest there was no security!!! I was immediately […] worried! I ask him I'd the place was safe and he said just as safe as any other place around here. Which I didn't know what that meant!!! I will not be staying there anymore if I'm ever in Augusta!! And I don't recommend any to say. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Weekend Getaway not so good..."
There is absolutely no parking. We had to park on the other side of the building and walk around just to get to our rooms. Only being 3 women, it was very dangerous. The hot water never worked. When we called to ask what was going on with it, the staff told us that it was because everyone in the hotel was taking a shower at the same time. Hmmm...first […] of all, I highly doubt that everyone was taking a shower at the exact same time and second of all, I have NEVER in my entire life, stayed at a hotel that ran out of hot water. Needless to say, we will never stay here or at another Ramada ever again. I highly do NOT recommend this place. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"I wouldn't stay here again!"
I choice this hotel because of the price & the very close distance from Fort Gordon Army Base. All the reviews seemed really great saying that even though the building and rooms were out dated everything was very clean. So this reashired me that even with the very cheap price i would still be getting a nice clean comfortable room for the few days that […] i was going to be spending in the area. When i first walked into the room it had a very musty smell but looked clean in till i walked into the bathroom where the floor had dirty foot prints and the shower still had soap slim from where you could see housekeeping didn't even bother to clean. I brought my own blanket and had already laid it across the bed and when i came out of the bathroom it had a huge bug on it! Really freaked me out! Yes, you could say "well the hotel was cheap" but i don't care how cheap I shouldn't have to pay for bugs! Also, they let "working girls" live there! This is me not even kidding! This woman with red hair on the lower level had men in and out of her room all day and night. cars in and out with her running over to them hiking up her skirt. It was discussting! Other room doors just left open with people just hanging out acting very sketchy. I had a great time in Augusta but PLEASE don't stay at this hotel.

Coordinates: 19 00 N, 70 40 W
Coastline: 1,288 km
Language: Spanish
Safety: Due to the recent unrest in neighbouring Haiti and the ongoing unpredictability of the security situation, it is inadvisable to travel across the border to Haiti.

Communications: The international access code for the Dominican Republic is +1, in common with the US, Canada and most of the Caribbean, followed by 809. The outgoing code is 011 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 01144 for the United Kingdom); the outgoing code is not required for calling North America. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most major international operators. A bilingual operator can be reached by dialling 0. Direct international calls can be made from numerous telecommunications centres located in all towns and cities. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts
Climate : The Dominican Republic has a tropical maritime climate with trade winds moderating the heat. The wet or rainy season is from May to November in the south and from December to April in the north. Hurricanes can also occur between June and November. In general, rainfall is heaviest in the north and diminishes towards the south and west. Average annual precipitation varies between 1,390 mm (55 inches) and 1,520 mm (60 inches). Average temperature ranges in Santo Domingo are from 19 to 29 degrees Celsius (66 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit) in January to 23 to 31 degrees Celsius (73 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit) in August.

Republicans rigging the recall
Posted 18:28PM on October 28 2011 by Mike Tate | User Comments (9)
Categories: Recall HQ, Scott Walker |
Tags: Democracy, Election law, Recall hq, Recall scott walker, Scott walker, Wisconsin
Just days before we begin collecting signatures, Scott Walker's fellow Republicans are attempting to add a new requirement that all recall petitions must be notarized.
Scott Walker knows we have the energy and the support needed to recall him now, but rather than letting your voice be heard, he's trying to put up roadblocks to impede the recall process and sully our democracy.
Rest assured: They will NOT stop us.

Anno 2070's Draconian DRM: Guru3D's Graphics Card Review Killed Off (UPDATED) Hilbert Hagedoorn of well-known PC tech review site guru3d.com recently bought a copy of Ubisoft's Anno 2070 and wanted to use it in one of his graphics card reviews. However, he became badly unstuck. This game comes on the Steam platform and the store page states: "3rd-party DRM: Solidshield Tages SAS 3 machine activation limit". Unfortunately for Guru3D, they found out exactly what this means, which resulted in just one performance graph, an aborted review, an unplayable game – and bad publicity for Ubisoft once again. They have published an article about their experience, pledging not to use their titles again because of this DRM. The DRM in this game works in a similar way to Microsoft's product activation, in that it creates a hash value from certain key hardware components such as the motherboard, CPU, HDD (including mere partition changes!) and graphics cards among others, then uses this information to decide if the hardware has changed sufficiently to require a reactivation. It's that last one which caused the problem: Guru3D ran out of activations when swapping out graphics cards. Ubisoft claim in their FAQ (for Anno 1404, none available for Anno 2070, should be the same) that an email to their support department will grant you a new activation, completely hassle-free. They say this twice, in fact: and: However, in practice, this is certainly not what happens. Hagerdoorn sent Ubisoft support an email requesting a reactivation, but still hasn't heard back from them. Then he contacted Ubisoft's marketing department, where he tells us: Given that what it says in the FAQ is at odds with what actually happens, since the customer gets significantly less than what was promised – getting stuck with an unplayable game - then Guru3D have a right to a refund, since the product isn't fit for purpose and we believe that they should pursue it. Unsurprisingly, Guru3D's wonderful experience has been picked up elsewhere, among them Softpedia, who reported on it here and then an interesting follow-up here. In the second article, they point out four major problems with Ubisoft's super duper DRM that we believe are highly valid. We present a summary of their points here: 1 The reviewing community will be more than frustrated The games won't be used for reviews, removing free publicity for them. In fact, there will be a notable absence of games employing this DRM, if it spreads. If the reviewer decides to jump through the reactivation hoops or buys extra copies (just sounds wrong, doesn't it?) they will voice their dissatisfaction. Loudly. 2 The new DRM can damage the consumer hardware market if other developers imitate it The hardware lock-ins that these games impose will get more significant if this DRM is used by others such as EA, id Software etc, making the hardware market suffer. This will happen, because gamers won't want to change their hardware at all if they fear that they will lose their games. However, this doesn't seem that likely to happen in practice for a couple of reasons. The hardware manufacturers such as AMD won't be happy in getting caught in the crossfire and will likely have something to say about this. The other reason is that piracy will likely skyrocket and real sales this time will actually go down significantly. 3 Game piracy will actually gain a measure of justification This one we feel is worth quoting in full: Yes, game developers dictating if and when you're allowed to upgrade your PC! Indeed, talk about giving potential customers a strong motive to pirate your product. 4 Game developers would be better off just making their titles worth buying Piracy will never really go away, so quit worrying about what DRM you want to infect your product with and just make it DRM-free and good, then the customers will come. If DRM must be used, then don't get so draconian over it and put in something creative, such as an invincible enemy to thrash copyists around, as was included in Serious Sam 3. These are Softpedia's four points and we would like to add that it has been well and truly proven by the DRM-free gog.com site and the various DRM-free music sites such as Amazon, that you can run a successful business without imposing DRM and make it more successful than with it. The four points above seem quite reasonable to us and we hope, our readers too. Also, when reading that Anno 1404 FAQ, note how many hoops the hapless honest customer has to jump through just to play their game. Quite an off-putting proposition, isn't it? Might as well just buy another game that doesn't impose this garbage on you... Of course, 'pirates' have no such problems and can run the game stripped of all its DRM. Mind you, they might get malware infected games this way, so this isn't so clever either, regardless of the morality of getting a dodgy copy. As usual, we recommend to boycott purchasing the game over this issue, but just as importantly, don't download a dodgy copy, either. That way, Ubisoft go down in flames without being able to point the finger at 'pirates' and they'll be forced to remove this ridiculous DRM. Well then, despite its graphical excellence, along with Guru3D, this looks like one game that certainly won't be used as a review benchmark on TechPowerUp, a significant review site on the PC enthusiast tech scene. Ubisoft: well done in alienating your best possible promoters, all in the name of fighting 'piracy'. For shame. UPDATE Guru3D have now updated their article with the following: It would be nice to know a bit more detail, such as has the three machine limit been removed completely, etc. Still though, it seems unreasonable to have to jump through these bureaucratic hoops along with the wasted time and frustration just to play a game, or benchmark with it as in this case.
I'm ok with DRM when implemented and handled properly. Activation limits are fine as long as there is a quick and easy way for the consumer to re-activate when the need arises. It sounds like Ubisoft tried to do that, but didn't follow through, at least not if you try to email support for a response. Though the whole situation just started Thursday, so it has only been 48 hours that he has been waiting for a response to receive his extra activations. Also, why email them and sit and wait in the queue for a response? They give you a phone number in the manual for a reason, use it and get an instant response and instantly get re-activated, and I bet it isn't nearly as big of a deal if you do that. Actually Anno 2070 is a pretty bad ass game, so is the Assassin's Creed series.
Have you tried phoning them for a reactivation then? Did they reset you on the spot? That would help mitigate the problem somewhat, but is still a pain in the ass that I don't feel people should have to go through. The way Steam does it is way better. Period. EDIT: I've just remembered that Ubisoft's marketing department told guru3d that it's three activations and that's it. A far cry from what the FAQ says, which makes all the difference.
Pirating isn't always so appealing either. Looking this up on the bay it seems like it's one of those everyone is having a zillion problems releases, and no crack for the latest patch. Though maybe the increased attention from this will make it happen. Assassins creed is a terrible game. I could barely tolerate it for 5 minutes. It's the embodiment of dull and watered down you always get when you don't trust the intelligence of your audience. Though unfortunately they're usually right to doubt the consumers intelligence.
Anno 2070 is not a bad ass game, between the terrible DRM, and the fact that it runs on a single thread the game is just not fun to play. I was excited to try it out, but the more I read about it the more I heard it was just not worth the time, money, and frustration.
I have not bought a Ubistink game in years, even if its DRM free I refuse to give them as cent. I upgrade hardware often and would like to use my games on my other computers. If games like theme hosptial and the old medal of honor games, had this DRM I would had to chuck the discs years ago. I don't care you can contact them about it, You should not have to. (NOTE: Not buying it does not mean I pirate it. It is stupid to add the to statistic that only supports their use of this crap.)
Exactly. I agree with your whole post, but this bit is especially important. Just vote with your wallet and they'll go down in flames.
Also, weren't Ubisoft the ones that released some game DRM-free, saw it copied all over the place, yet still sold handsomely, yet they bitched about it and said never again? If someone can google for an article on this (I'm feeling lazy after the effort of writing this article, lol) then that would help for future articles on them.
Thanks, but it's not quite what I was thinking of. It was totally DRM-free with no catches and despite the sales, they still weren't happy.
Well done qubit great catch mate, thanks for staying on all this terrible corporate advantage taking of consumers who just want to pay the money and have a good time, not be utterly flabbergasted by malignant corporate whiplash policy that critically effects our ability to consume and enjoy, a privelege we PAY FOR . It is not our fault there are pirates out there who copy, stop dumping it on us ubisoftcocks!!!
Most people won't go through it, and the rare instance they do phoning them up and resetting the activations isn't a big deal. I do it daily with Windows, it is a fine system. And I really don't care what the marketing department says, they aren't tech support, they don't have the power to reset activations, and hence what they say doesn't matter. And because Hilbert Hagedoorn couldn't be bothered to call tech support and instead made a big write-up because they didn't return an email instantly we really don't know the real answer. And since I don't own the game, I can't exactly call to have it re-activated. That should be an avenue the person writing the article bashing the system should have done before writing the article bashing they system... Generally though when I see "Contact technical support" I don't think "I'll email them and should get an instant response."
What happens to people in non-european countries or countries without a ubisoft office? International calls every time you want to re-activate? No thanks.
Ok, it seemed like you owned it, from your previous reply. Yes, you have a point about the phone activation. However, if you go to the Ubisoft support page linked to in the English language FAQ, you notice two things: 1 It's in German! (well, it's not English, put it that way ) 2 There doesn't appear to be a phone number or email address This is hardly hassle-free and this very much gives the impression of a company that doesn't care about its customers. Also, silkstone makes a very good point:
The most idiotic statement of this entire post. Ohh and btw, " a lot" is not one word, genius. I know this and English is my second language.
Query.. Q.. with all due respect Sir, I cannot find anything you refer to in regards to Ubisoft's online support being as difficult as you state. In fact, all my searches have revealed everything easy to use (complete with tutorials on how to use Tech Support), perfectly fine in English, as well as their European Main office's site being in Dutch (which Mr Hagedoorn has no probs with, naturally), not German. Perhaps you can provide a link to satisfy my curiosity if nothing else? Piracy will always have more questions than answers associated with it in regards to getting around such an issue as you've mentioned. Even in Real Life™ one finds examples of blatant transgressions (I won't point and stare at China..), yet no progress seems to be stifled, as it can never be eradicated fully. I do feel compelled to add: Guru3D is a great site that I've enjoyed for a great many years, but they also fall prey to being part of the 'sensationalism' crowd to boost or bolster their image, all for the sake of a few more potential hits on their site (which is heavily ad-sponsored, albeit for a good reason). More exposure == more hits == more money from advertisers; et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum :/ In my, obviously no so humble, opinion this is driven by oh-mighty-dollar, rather than truly having the end-user in mind - regardless of the camp you're part of. Great awareness raiser though

George Abbott made his fourth visit to New Westminster as education minister on Thursday morning to announce $3.3 million in funding for school playgrounds in the province.
New Westminster will receive $75,000 of that: F.W. Howay receives $50,000 and Queen Elizabeth Elementary receives $25,000.
In total, 80 schools across all 60 school districts in the province are receiving money during this third phase of playground funding from the province.
During the two years of the program, 227 schools have received a total of $8 million in playground funding.
"I loved playgrounds as a child," said Abbott as he made his announcement at F.W. Howay's playground. "I loved playgrounds as my kids grew up, and one of my favourite things is taking my 14month-old grandson to the playground."
Abbott also took the opportunity to go down one of F.W. Howay's slides with students Julia Brothers and Christian Franck.
Grade 3 student Duncan Conner took the microphone to thank Abbott for the funding commitment.
"We're all really excited for the playground," said Duncan.
Prior to the announcement, Abbott spent 10 minutes in an office talking to New Westminster school superintendent John Woudzia.
"I was very pleased that George chose New Westminster as the spot to make this announcement," said Woudzia. "I wanted to thank him because he could've chosen anywhere to make this announcement.
"We spent the time talking about what has happened since he last came here in September. - He asked how things were going, and we had a very good dialogue."
Abbott said he was pleased to make the announcement in New Westminster because of the respect he has for the employees and management of the district.
"New Westminster is a place I enjoy visiting," said Abbott. "John Woudzia is among my favourite superintendents."
School board chair James Janzen thanked the province for the funding commitment, adding that local parents also deserve credit for all the fundraising they've done for their playgrounds.
"I know for my daughter, we worked for years to fundraise for a playground," said Janzen. "All credit goes to the parents, who are an important part of this process. These are assets not just for the school community, but the wider community. - It's a good thing not just for the school district, but the city as a whole."
Kathy Cassels, executive director of the Directorate of Agencies for School Health, was also at the press conference to offer her thoughts.
"Playground activity improves the health and learning capacity of young students in B.C.," said Cassels.
"By repairing, improving and, where necessary, replacing playgrounds, the B.C. government is promoting, supporting and facilitating a healthy schools approach for young learners."
Also receiving money is Rosser Elementary in neighbouring Burnaby, which will get $50,000 in this phase of playground funding.

Two years ago I was fortunate enough to attend the Sharq Taronalari festival that is held every two years in Samarkand, as a guest. It has given me a bug for the place, and I recommend Uzbekistan as a travel destination, as not enough people really know or understand this part of the world. The country is rich with historical monuments, extraordinary textiles, warm and hospitable people and of course, music. Not that the music is immediately accessible to the Western ear, and I was finding it quite demanding. One day I sat my assigned interpreter, Dilnoza Mamadaliyeva, down and said "Tell me about Muggam. Maybe you can help me to appreciate it better." So here is Dilnoza doing just that.
Much later on, we were able to acquire the fine Smithsonian series you have been watching on Link, but the other day, I discovered this tape from years ago. Hey Dilnoza! I hope you're still singing.
A word about the technical problems...I should have known better than to place Dilnoza in front of a bright window. Every time she waved her hands, my camera tried to compensate, resulting in a flicker. Apologies. And if anyone wants to know more about my travels in Uzbekistan, a memoir is available on request ;-)
