Cheerleaders, pep bands and free throw contests will be replaced by proctor-monitored quiet classrooms Friday, as students across North Carolina begin taking end-of-grade tests.
The exams, commonly known as EOGs, sometimes cause anxiety for students, who must earn passing grades to be promoted, and for teachers, whose performances are judged partly on the test scores. That was the reason for Thursday's pep rallies – to calm nerves.
But with the state's public schools earning letter grades – A to F – and charter schools in danger of being shut down if they don't measure up, there will still be plenty of anxiety during the EOG season.
Those high stakes have helped build opposition to the exams.
"There are too many tests, and evidence has mounted that the tests are not helping kids learn," said Pam Grundy, of Mecklenburg Area Coming Together for Schools. "And because the test results are used in such a high-stakes way, testing warps the curriculum process. We think teachers are teaching to the test."
Scott Elliott, a board member at Charlotte International School, a charter school in Harrisburg, said teachers there get more accurate results about their performance from other tests. But, he added, "We do our best on the state tests, too."
Some schools may have a different type of problem – a lack of community volunteers to proctor the tests. Officials at Myers Park and Providence high schools sent out emergency requests to parents in recent days, asking for help.
Keeping order in the classroom is important during the tests, which continue through next week – and into the following week for students who fail to score at least a 3 on a scale of 1 to 4.
"Any disruption is considered a mis-administration of the test, and the entire class has to take it over again," said Mark Anderson, principal at Crown Point Elementary School in Matthews.
Anderson's school had cheerleaders, a pep band and the UNC Charlotte mascot, Norm the Niner, on hand for a rally Thursday. "We told students that their behavior has an impact on everyone in the class," he said.
At Coulwood Middle School in northwest Charlotte, students and staff worked to complete an obstacle course – with an egg walk, a basketball shooting contest and more.
There is one change in state law for the testing process this year. For the first time, students who finish early will be permitted to read a book quietly.
"That's at least one good step," Grundy said.

In this interactive activity adapted from NOVA, learn about properties of materials such as tensile and compressive strength, toughness, hardness, ductility, malleability, flexibility, electrical and thermal conductivity, and resistance to molds, water, heat, and corrosion. Play a game to identify ten mystery materials using videos and clue cards.
Note for Teachers: Begin by reviewing the "What's This Stuff?" Teacher's Guide for information about facilitating the activity, then print out and prepare the "What's This Stuff?" Student Activity Guide.
Learn more here.
What Is Materials Science?
Materials science is the study of stuff. Almost everything around you and everything you use each day—the clothes you wear, the dishes you eat from, the computer you use, the bike or skateboard you ride—is made of materials. Materials can be natural, like wood, or synthetic, like plastic.
Who Are Materials Scientists and What Do They Do?
You've probably heard of a chemist, a biologist, or a physicist, but not a materials scientist. One reason is that materials science covers a wide range of activities and touches on many different fields—including chemistry, biology, and physics.
A materials scientist investigates how materials are put together, how they can be used, how they can be changed—and how they can be improved to do even more amazing things. Materials scientists also create materials that have never existed before! Sometimes materials scientists are called ceramic or polymer engineers, or metallurgists, and you can find them working in industries, labs, and universities all over the world.
In the past, people used and changed materials by trial and error. They worked on a big, visible scale—for example, heating, then rapidly cooling, chunks of iron to make it harder. Modern materials scientists manipulate and change materials based on fundamental understandings of how the materials are put together, often on the invisibly tiny scale of atoms. How small is that? You'd need trillions of atoms to make a speck as big as the period at theend of this sentence.
What Kinds of Materials Are There?
There are about 300,000 different known materials. If you named one every second, it would take you more than three days and nights just to get through the list! And, as materials scientists continue to create and combine materials in new ways, the number is always growing. Most materials fit into a few big, general categories: metals, ceramics, semiconductors, polymers, composites, biomaterials, and entirely new types of exotic and strange materials, such as carbon nanotubes, which are very tiny spheres or cylinders made of carbon atoms. Such nanotechnology is taking materials science into a new dimension, as scientists create new materials atom-by-atom and molecule-by-molecule—leading to properties and performance never before imagined.

The Keyword Search field was recently upgraded to a full-fledged search of the Edinboro University website. While the keywords will still exist and provide access to your favorite pages on our website, searches will occur in both our keyword database and the web pages without any additional steps.
If you use keywords now, you may continue to use them. If you would like to search the University website for any word or phrase, simply enter it into the Search box, which has been renamed "Search" from the previous "Keyword Search". Your term will automatically be checked against both our keyword database and the content of the University web pages, with the results displayed for you by Keyword Results and Google Results. If you need additional information or instructions, click on the "About Keywords/Search" link that is now available below the Search box. You may need to refresh your browser window once to have this new feature loaded.
If you have any questions that this page does not answer, please contact the Technology Help Center at (814) 732-2111. We hope you enjoy this new website feature!
What are Keyword Results?
Keywords are words or phrases that lead you to a specific location within the Edinboro University website, or to a related, external website. We don't plan to have keywords for every single page in the Web Publication, but rather keywords that lead you to main pages, which should then allow you to easily find more specific information. This keeps the number of results smaller, and you can get where you want to go faster.
What are Google Results?
We use a service from Google called Google Custom Search Business Edition to generate a customized google search of just the Edinboro University Webpages. So, when you don't find exactly what your looking for in the Keyword Results, the Google Results will help to fill in the gap by displaying a full-site search.
Why use keywords instead of a 'normal' search?
As anyone who has used a major search engine knows, the number of results on a full-text search can be staggering. Sometimes the page you want is near the beginning of the list, and sometimes it can be found only after reading through many pages of somewhat relevant results.
Also, since the University does not run an internal search engine, the accuracy and ranking of a full-text search is not under our control.
We felt that if you search for Financial Aid on our website, you'd like to find yourself at the Financial Aid homepage, rather than seeing a listing of pages that make reference in one way or another to 'Financial Aid'. And if you search on Help, you would like to see a list of resources which can provide you with HELP -- be it the Technology & Communications Help Center or the Counseling & Psychological Services Department.
What is the list that drops down when I enter a keyword?
When you begin to enter a keyword in the search box, a list of matching keywords will be fetched from the system and displayed in a drop-down list under the search box. We felt that doing this would help get you to where you want to go quicker. If you see the keyword you are looking for in the list you can either click the item, or arrow down to it and press enter. If what you are looking for is not in the list, don't worry, there will also be full-text site search results along with the keyword matches. Simply type in your search term and press enter and you will see the matching keywords as well as any relevant full-text search results.
Who decides what keywords get added?
A group of individuals collaborate on web content and policies. You can submit a request for a keyword by submitting a Help Desk Call.
How can I see a list of existing keywords?
That's easy! In any keyword search field, simply enter List Keywords.
What if I want to do a 'normal' search of the University pages?
Just enter your search term into the keyword search. Any keyword matches will be shown, as well as any relevant full-text site search results.
What if the word or phrase I try doesn't give me what I want?
With the new Google Results, we hope that you will be able to find anything you are looking for. However, if you cannot find what you are looking for, you can always contact the Technology Help Center. They can assist you in finding what you are looking for.
What about groups of keywords?
As the number of keywords increased, we realized that having subgroups of keywords might be useful. For example, if you enter Forms: (be sure to include the colon- ':'), you'll see a list of online forms that have keywords assigned to them. You can also be more specific by including a keyword or phrase after Forms:, such as Student. If you do a 'regular' keyword search using the word Student, you'll receive a list of twenty or more partially matching keywords. However, if you use the search phrase Forms: Student, you'll receive a much shorter list containing online forms where 'student' is a part of the keyword or alias (such as the Student Vehicle Registration Form).
In addition to the 'main' keyword list, we have several groups of keywords -- Tools:, Forms:, and Users:.
Can individuals have keywords?
Similar to the Forms: subgroup mentioned above, there is also a Users: subgroup. You can submit a request to have your username added as a keyword under this subgroup.

- Developer: Argonaut Games
- Publisher: Namco
- Genre: Action Adventure Modern
- Release Date: Dec 4, 2003
- ESRB: Teen
Get stronger swords
To get stronger swords, you have to kill enemies. Notice that when you complete a mission (at the blue screen with Ninja floating), there is a sword at the bottom of the screen called "Ranx Bank". The sword has numbers that increase with the more "Ranx" that you kill. Also, the more "Ranx" you kill, the sword gets covered in Ranx blood. When the sword is full of Ranx blood, at the "Mission Complete" screen, Ninja will be holding his old sword. He will drop the old sword and a new one will fall into his hands.

My browsers won't open.
OK! Here's what's wrong with my pc for 2 weeks now.
My little bro downloaded a virus/malware which won't let me open any of my browser programms (Internet Explorer and Google chrome). Every time I try to open them, they won't even react, they will crush or they will give an error message. Chrome gave me a blue screen once.
I tried many things. Firstly, I tried to perform a system restore but the Malware/Virus deleted all my recover points by turning system restore off. Then I tried to remove the malware/virus using my Panda Internet Security scanner (which deleted 2 infected files). The problem insisted. Then I read some forums which suggested Malwarebytes. I downloaded this AntiMalware program, run a scan and got 6 suspecious/infected files deleted. This didn't work either. I reinstalled BOTH Explorer and Chrome (using Safe Mode with Networking, where both browsers work fine) but no hope yet. At this point I have to mention that my browsers, after the Malware/Virus was downloaded, have a SPECIFIC home page set. I tried to change the home page but it was still there even after the reinstalls! I will mention the name of this home page only if I am asked for it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't really wanna bring my computer to factory settings and lose everything.
Thanks in advance, Theodore.

text: HomeTVGeneral HospitalPerkie's Observations: Ava and Morgan's Affair Continues to SCANDALIZE General Hospital! Perkie September 27, 2013 General Hospital, TV Recap 23 Comments Kiki is shocked to find Morgan and Ava in bed together. Morgan rubs it in that he and Ava were having sex. Morgan accuses Kiki and Michael of doing the same thing, but Michael insists they spent the night talking and worrying about Morgan. Ava wants them all to be rational. Kiki becomes angrier and slaps her mother in the face. An upset Carly runs into Franco and goes on a rant. Franco wonders what Ava did. Carly explains what happened with Morgan. Carly claims she wants to kill Ava, but Franco tells her not to because he cares about her. Lulu invites Maxie over to ask her to come to the baby's christening. Maxie is surprised because she thought Lulu would ban her from the baby's life. Lulu says she understands Maxie is working things out and wants her to be a part of their lives. Lulu asks Maxie to be baby Connie's godmother and Maxie accepts. Dante runs into Spinelli while out with the baby. Spin gets worried when Dante mentions colic. Dante reassures him the baby is fine and then asks Spin to be the baby's godfather. He explains things aren't good between Michael and Morgan and Lulu thinks of him as family. At first Spinelli refuses, since he knows nothing of the Catholic faith. Dante assures him he'll just need to guide the baby if needed. Spinelli agrees to be the godfather. Sabrina introduces Patrick and Carlos. They make small talk until Patrick says he knows Carlos showed up at the house the night before. Carlos says he wants Sabrina back and asks why Patrick is still wearing his wedding ring. Patrick says he's a widower. Carlos says he wants to marry Sabrina and claims she's no more than Patrick's babysitter. Sabrina tells Carlos they are over and none of this is his business. Carlos tells her Patrick is living in the past, but that he wants a future with her. After he leaves, Sabrina apologizes to Patrick who says he doesn't see her as just the babysitter. Franco drags Carly into his room and gives her paint. He says to put her frustrations on the easel. Carly throws the paint onto him and says she blames him for bringing Ava into their lives. Carly is angry because she was starting to trust Franco. She thought there may be something starting, but then was upset when she thought he was sleeping with a groupie. Franco says the woman in his room meant nothing and pulls Carly into a kiss. She breaks it off and says she can't do this with him. Kiki says Ava is a liar, a user and a slut. She lied to Kiki her entire life, then slept with her husband. Morgan points out he is no longer her husband. She left him for Michael. Michael admits he hurt Morgan, but points out the marriage wouldn't have lasted. The secret would have come out. Morgan wonders if Kiki is Michael's reward for all that he's been through. He accuses Michael of taking what belonged to him. Michael helped himself to Morgan's wife. Morgan accuses Michael of betraying him and says Ava is the only one who hasn't. He feels Ava is the only one on his side. He tells Kiki and Michael to go and live happily ever after and leave him and Ava alone. Kiki declares she's done with both of them. Ava begs Kiki not to write her off, but Kiki stoms off. 23 Responses soapjunkie88 September 27, 2013 Sabrina about Carols: "… I can't believe I was ever involved with him." Neither can we, honey. Neither can we. What a stupid storyline. I know that they need to give Sabrina a man because Robin is on her way home but Carlos and Sabrina just doesn't fit. It makes no sense. It would have been better if the brought Carlos on with no past connection to Sabrina and let him flirt with her a bit. Kiki and Michael finding out about Morgan and Ava was the best part of the episode. But once again Kristen Alderson showed that she isn't that strong of an actress. The scenes were she screamed at Ava I didn't know if I should laugh or just shocked at how bad it was. And why did that slap look like a punch!? LOL Anyway, know that everyone – accept Sonny – knows about Ava and Morgan, they can go back to bed doing the nasty, right!? :love: Why isn't Nikolas even considered to be the child's godfather. Dante chooses Spinelli!? Common! Very plot-driven. As is this entire christening. I don't even want to mention the silliness that is Carly falling for Franco, but I have to give kudos to Laura Wright. The last scene when Carly told Franco that she can't make this mistake was amazing. Log in to Reply giogio September 27, 2013 soapjunkie, that was a punch. I noticed it also. Liz slapped Tracy, Kiki punched her mother. I dont get it. Log in to Reply thecourt99 September 27, 2013 I noticed that too and I attribute it to bad editing. Kiki hauled off like it was a punch, but the sound effect was a slap and Ava responded as if it were a slap. It was kinda funny too Log in to Reply DisillusionedGHfan September 27, 2013 GH has been great lately, but that doesn't mean I have a bone to pick! This whole Sabrina-Carlos thing and them having been together in the past just doesn't fit her back story as we know it. She came to the canvas as an Ugly Betty wallflower, who blossoms into Cinderella. I highly doubt with her past boyfriend being the guy she's being tied to now, that she was that wallflower with him. Either the writers are trying to reboot a Sabrina 2.0 and asking us to forget her entire introduction to the show, or she's not who we think she is and the whole wallflower thing was a ruse. I'm leaning toward a bad rewrite for this character. I mean c'mon, this sticks out like a sore thumb. Log in to Reply Phoenix Tremayne September 27, 2013 This was a really good episode; I loved all the Ava, Kiki, Morgan and Michael stuff; I really didn't like the way Michael was so hypocritical and delusional that he can steal his brothers wife and just go back to normal. Kiki did punch her mother but it was well done but I watched it three times so I got my soap giggles out; I'm team Morgan all the way; he made good points, showed some sex appeal and left me wanting him and Ava to jump back in the sheets. Good payback scene; but what's next? Can't wait to see. I know the Sabrina and Carlos thing is unbelievable but I think people are missing my favorite part; Carlos vs Patrick; it was cool to see Patrick finally on the defensive; for a year Sabrina has run after him like a puppy dog and now having some competition Patrick looked lost. Also the actress playing Sabrina was perfect at the end the way she gave one last look to the ring as Patrick held her. I like Franco and Carly I really wanted him to say it was Heather and maybe explain in a way that Carly wouldn't be mad; I loved the kiss and the paint; and Carly walking away, "Till probably November sweeps." Hated Dante, Lulu, Maxie and Spinellie cause the story doesn't make sense; it's an insult to my intelligence but can't wait for the secret to come out today or Monday; so they can finally be watchable again. GH is firing on all cylinders Log in to Reply Lucy D. September 27, 2013 After the fact, I wanted Franco to say it was Heather as well. What could be the harm? Dante asking Spinelli to be the godfather=stupid.But it will soon be a moot point anyway. Laura Wright is amazing in her acting range. She can play many emotions equally amazingly. Log in to Reply logan_echolls September 27, 2013 I stopped watching GH in HD, I can't take the faces KiKi and Carly makes, ugh I was so happy at Morgan's reaction to KiKi and Michael finding out about them. KiKi's hysterics and bad acting only made me #TeamMorgan even more so. Franco and Carly is sickening. When Carly told Franco to back away, I just kept thinking that's exactly what ur son was saying to his rapist, the one Franco sent Thank goodness I'm not the only one who doesn't believe this stupid Carlos/Sabrina love affair. It is not believable that old man was with 12 yr old Sabrina back when she didn't wash her behind or hair and looked like a homeless woman. I wish Carlos would either keep his accent or stop it. He on/off accent is annoying and the way Sabrina tries to roll her rrs doesn't sound right. Please make her stop Log in to Reply miztee246 September 27, 2013 I have not watched GH in about a year. I cannot believe they have SORASed Morgan to the point where he is screwing around with Ava. Log in to Reply Daniel St. John September 27, 2013 I agree with everyone about the Carlos/Sabrina thing being odd but I think the fault lies with guy playing Carlos. He is too old and skeevy looking to be anyone that Sabrina would have been interested in. Jeffery Vincent Parisse is a case of really bad casting. And even at her most "Ugly Betty", Sabrina was still an attractive woman so it's not a mystery why a guy would be interested in her especially if the guy was looking for someone lacking in confidence who he could control and keep barefoot and pregnant at home which is what seems to be implied by his not supporting Sabrina's dream to become a nurse. Log in to Reply bobbyew September 27, 2013 Awesome GH today, Ms.Locicero and her visions. Lol It was good. Luke and Constance Towers. It was perfection. Maxie looking cute and glowing acting her ass off with that Fabulous Chanel necklace on. Church was beautiful and so were the Pews. Reminding LuLu who's been there for her through thick and thin was Tracy. As she looked at that child thinking that's not a Spencer. Great episode beaustiful lighting, shenanigans, and great acting. Log in to Reply twb6yz September 28, 2013 Regarding Kiki, she had it coming! She can't stand her Mom (for good reason) but expects her to put her up in her hotel room when she's kicked out of other locations. Who just lets them self into a hotel room that isn't theirs without even knocking first? As for Franco kissing Carly while he's covered in paint and his red hands are putting paint on the back or her head all I could think of was "Damn, another blonde with red ombre like Sammi Brady!" Log in to Reply FloridaDreamin September 28, 2013 Ok so the Sabrina/Carlos thing bugged me at first too until I started to think about it. She said they got together when she was in high school and stayed together for like 7 years. She probably dressed like that in high school and because she was comfortable and confidant in the relationship she was in she never have any thought to changing her appearance the way she felt the need to with Patrick. Sabrina was shy and kind of awkward when she came on the show but always seemed pretty confident in her appearance. She only did the makeover after Felix suggested it would help get Patricks attention. Also when the first guy you date is the only guy you date for like 7 years it's natural to be shy and awkward around the first guy you find attractive/crush on. You basically forget how to act like the person you actually are when you first get back into the dating world. That's what I'm telling myself to make the Carlos factor more believable Plus I really like TC as an actress. I know some people hate her for the character she plays but she is a decent actress. Same goes for Kelly T. Overall GH has been pretty good lately! I just hope they can keep it up and not ruin the Robin returns storyline… Fingers crossed! Log in to Reply pjc722 September 28, 2013 Now I loved the scenes with Ava and the young ones but why are they writing it as if michael was not in the wrong or that Kiki came on board as a playah herself? She was swindling teens out of their dough left right and center and she's the reason that Morgan got set up with the gambling ring. I get why she should be mad at Morgan for lying but when all he was trying to do was keep the women he loved and actually loved her while Kiki and michael have been inches from stripping naked in front of each other for months makes watching those scenes frustrating. Soaps love to ignore what they JUST WROTE to move their stories along without having other characters call them out. Seriously, Carly is blaming Franco for all her sons woos? Honestly, I am not getting on board with Franco and its not Rogers fault but cartoony's. they opted for bringing back the character, rewrote his history and now we're to believe he is sane? None of it makes sense because of the lies with Kiki being his daughter to all that Franco did to port Charles to this forced Love story. It would have been better to make him that disowned Quartermaine, jimmy lee, and then gone from there. I don't think I can ever route for this desperate couple. Log in to Reply J Bernard Jones September 28, 2013 About this persistent charge that Michael & Kiki aren't being written as if they are in the wrong: isn't that the actual catalyst for Morgan's absolute rage and acting out, which he repeatedly calls out or has that aspect of this whole (delicious) mess not been spelled out nearly enough by now? Log in to Reply FaisonFanInTexas September 28, 2013 JBJ~ Yes! Absolutely correct! They couldn't BE more obvious about it. :Sp Log in to Reply logan_echolls September 28, 2013 No one is saying it's not obvious. I think we are complaining about Michael/KiKi's victim act. They are acting like they haven't done anything wrong. They are not really realizing just how much they hurt Morgan. Read the comments more carefully before the annoying, we know everything y'all don't comments. We know why Morgan is acting like this and we are happy about it because Michael/Kiki deserves it. We hate Michael/KiKi victim act. Log in to Reply giogio September 28, 2013 I think Michael and Kiki are victims cause they clearly started having feelings for each other and were told they were cousins, than werent told they werent. They are victims cause had they known the truth they would have done things differently. As it stands now Morgan and Ava are acting like two pigs. There I said it, pigs in a sack.

Everyone in this triangle comes off bad as far as I am concerned. Michael is a dick for going after his brother's girl, Kiki is a ho for falling for her boyfriend's/husband's brother and Morgan is jerk for manipulating a girl he knew didn't want him into marrying him.

They are acting like they haven't done anything wrong. They are not really realizing just how much they hurt Morgan. The way the characters are behaving is not the same thing as how they are being written. Yes, there is an argument to be made that Michael and Kiki are in the wrong (one I don't necessarily disagree with), but it is abundantly clear and has been for some time that their actions are the catalyst for Morgan's behavior. Read the comments more carefully before the annoying, we know everything y'all don't comments I don't remember insulting you or anyone else by my comment/question, which was neutral in nature. I've been reading all of the comments — carefully, but thank you for your so-called suggestion.

September 29, 2013 Amen to you giogio. I am not a big Kiki fan, i enjoyed her more when she was feisty, but gimme a break. Morgan lied and manipulated her into getting married. Michael flirted with/tried to steal his teenage brother's girlfriend. So not even close in "evil doings." Rather than Micael & Kiki palying victims, Morgan is throwing himself the biggest pity party ever. And Ava has NO EXCUSE to sleep with Morgan. NONE. (Not saying I don't enjoy the soapiness of it, but please) And JBJ, please ignore the attackers. I for one wish you posted more. Log in to Reply timepass September 29, 2013 You know what is more awful than holier than Michael, is holier than Kiki + holier than Michael. They are both unbearable! They are always trying to paint themselves as victim, when in fact they are both entitle spoil children. They met for a total of mere hours and act like they are in love, seriously with what? I cannot think of a more boring couple than those two. And seriously, you don't put a poor actress like CA in front of the great MW. She looks so bad it is not even funny.

Heinz Mulls Buy of Pfizer Baby Formula Business: Report (Update 1)
Corrected quote from analyst Erin Lash in third paragraph
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Heinz (HNZ) may make a run for all or part of pharmaceutical company Pfizer's (PFE) baby formula business, according to The New York Post.
The Post said Pfizer accepted first-round bids for the division over the holidays. The newspaper referred to the potential purchase as a "$9 billion transformative deal."
Morningstar analyst Erin Lash also said it would be a "transformative" deal for Heinz if the company acquires all of Pfizer's infant nutrition business, provided a deal happens at all.
"Heinz has placed an emphasis on growing its presence in emerging and developing markets, but up to now has primarily utilized organic growth or has pursued smaller bolt-on deals to broaden its distribution network," Lash said.Some of Pfizer's baby nutritional brands include Progress, Progress Gold and Promise Gold. A Pfizer spokeswoman said the company's exploration of strategic initiatives for this division is ongoing. "We're currently pursuing the activities associated with evaluating all options, including sale, spin-off or other transaction. However, no decisions have been made at this point," the spokeswoman wrote. "We expect to be in a position to announce any decision in 2012, and continue to expect to complete any transactions that may result from this decision between July 2012 and July 2013." A Heinz spokesman declined to comment. Shares of Heinz fell 17 cents to $53.07 in Tuesday's trading, while Pfizer's stock rose 10 cents to $21.92. -- Written by Alexandra Zendrian in New York.

Why you should read China: The Balance Sheet
This book is indispensable for anyone seeking solid information about China. No country has inspired more commentary, conflict and controversy, or given rise to more disparate and confusing predictions, projections and polemics. The authors - C. Fred Bergsten, Bates Gill, Nicholas R. Lardy and Derek Mitchell - focus on economic, political and security issues, carefully assessing the range of noteworthy opinions on each issue, and offering readers the data necessary to evaluate them. The authors do not attempt to make a case one way or the other. They provide an excellent, concise survey of contemporary thinking about China, with ample evidence for and against each viewpoint. getAbstract says that if you are only going to read one book on China, this should be it. If you are going to read several, start here.
About the Authors
C. Fred Bergsten directs the Institute for International Economics (IIE), a private, nonprofit, research institution, where Nicholas R. Lardy is a senior fellow. Bates Gill holds a chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a nonprofit, public policy organization, where Derek Mitchell is a senior fellow for Asia in the International Security Program. This book is the work of a joint task force from the IIE and the CSIS.

The Best Reasons to Legalize Marijuana
Its only savage danger now is the law. And, come on: Jobs!
By John H. Richardson
Because even if you don't go to jail, that arrest will hurt your chances of getting a job or a college loan or even a car loan, which will help push you into a more marginalized existence, if not a life of full-time criminality. This wasn't a problem for our last three presidents, because they smoked pot and got away with it. Try explaining that logic to your kids.

Aston University Engineering Academy Network Manager
(41.5hrs/WK) - £28,363 - £30 851
Start date: 1st July 2012
We wish to appoint for the exciting position of Network Manager at the first major University Technical College - Aston University Engineering Academy.
Aston University Engineering Academy in Birmingham is a 14-19 mixed University Technical College sponsored by Aston University. It is a brand new, £16M academy, built around state of the art IT and engineering equipment. One of the first national University Technical Colleges, it will have a unique focus on engineering and science that will be enhanced through strong links with local and national industrial partners. AUEA opens its doors in September 2012 to an intake of 120 Year 10 and 60 Year 12 students from across Birmingham.
Aston University Engineering Academys IT provider is MASS (MASS) who are supporting the academy with; a state of the art design and installation of ICT infrastructure, the procurement and integration of the various networked systems, together with the supply of all end user equipment. Upon opening the Academy will continue to work with MASS in a hybrid support model (second line).
This is therefore a unique opportunity for our appointed Network Manager to work closely with MASS, receive leading CPD and training, and build the dream IT solution.
As Network Manager, the post will take responsibility for:
Working with our IT provider MASS on the installation of ICT infrastructure, and integration of the various networked systems, together with the configuration of all end user equipment
The day to day management, maintenance and development of all AUEAs ICT infrastructure.
The provision of a responsive First line Service desk service to resolve problems encountered by users quickly and effectively.
Working with our IT provider MASS on second line support.
Developing and maintaining the schools VLE, website and online presence;
Lead and Manage IT Technician (not until Year 2)
Any applicants will be required to have previous experience in working in educational IT support, along with high level of IT literacy and network management. This will include excellent knowledge of using and administering Windows inc. 7, Server 2003/08, Exchange and Active Directory.
The Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff & volunteers to share this commitment.
The post is subject to an enhanced CRB Disclosure
Further details including Application form, Equal Opportunities form (safeguarding requirement), Job Description and Personal Specification can be obtained from Helen Walklett at firstname.lastname@example.com, 0121 204 4282 or Home | Aston University Engineering Academy.
Closing date for applications: Tuesday 3rd April at 12.00 noon
Interviews will be held on: Monday 16th April 2012
If you have any questions or requirements before the interviews please do not hesitate to ask.
alan-d (20th March 2012)
Any questions about the role - please just ask?
It says that CMIS experience is desirable can I assume that will be progresso in the future? Not that it matters, I use SIMs here, so a new learning curve either way :-)
The email address above is wrong it should be aston.ac.uk not auea.co.uk
Last edited by alan-d; 21st March 2012 at 01:52 PM.
Hi Alan,
It is actually Progresso from the start. We are actually in a development relationship with Serco and will be running a national pilot for some unique tracking and monitoring features that we are developing. I mentioned CMIS as desirable as progresso is very simlilar to facility, but in reality a MIS is a MIS and they do the same, so SIMS won't be an issue.
We actually have a role for a MIS manager seperatly as well.
alan-d (21st March 2012)
If MASS are doing the second level support, what is the Network Manager going to be doing - ie. server updates, switch configuration etc... would all be second level?
Also, what scope will the school have for flexibility with MASS? As its hybrid, does this mean the school can ask for whatever it wants, rather than it being the old BSF cookie cutter solution?
Finally, is that a canal just round the back of the school?? I love canals...
Firstly and most importantly - Yes thats a canal, The academy has been built along side it with open plan resturant and outside social space next to it.
In regard MASS. We are a truely Hybrid solution and not a BSF Cookie cutter, we can ask what we want and more importantly the Network manager when in post will help me write the support SLA with Mass, so we can ensure we have what we need. The balance of what they do will depend upon the skills of the network manager and the support they need.
For info and others who have asked. MASS are an IT provider and they are responsible for the entire procurement, installation and configuration of the system. In many new academies and BSF, the IT provider will often provide a complete managed solution where not only do they set everything up they will also run and mange the whole network on a contract after opening. We did not want this as we wanted our own academy based support team. We have therefore gone for a hybrid solution, where they set everything up and then post open, support from a second line prospective and our own network team run the in school support (first line).
The simple answer is that as Network manager you technically would not have to do anything until we open, but in reality both the Leadership team and MASS want the network manger to be involved from as soon as possible to help shape the perfect system that we want. For example, we have budgeted for devices but have not settled on manufacturer or model. From July onwards when we start installing, everything will be done together so you understand the system. You don't have to know everything as they are there to train and help.
The other big advantage is that you would get access to all the CPD and training that you require and would be delivered by MASS whether that is virtualisation or AD configuration. They have experts in all areas. Effectively you are a network manager with a team of over 100 staff behind you with MASS.
Hope that helps

I was about to say that
Hello Dan,
Thanks for all the info, this looks like a fantastic role.
Just a couple of quick questions -
What VLE are you going to use, has this been decided/purchased yet?
How many Students will eventually be on roll in total? I see that there is an intake this September of around 180 in 2012.
Are the servers based onsite or will MASS host them?
Servers with virtulisation will be AUEA based in our state of the art server room. Plenty of resilience and redundancy. We however are also trying to cloud base a lot which includes live @ edu email, skydrive etc (then office 365) for both staff and students.
Wireless is an amazing aerohive solution.
Thanks for the reply Dan - all very interesting and exciting, its looks like you have a unique and Innovative ICT setup at the Academy.
I am going to do some digging on CDSM I think!

Val Kilmer does his thing in new Spider-Man game
Yesterday I showed you guys a behind the scenes video for Spider-Man: Edge of Time featuring Laura Vandervoort, and today Activision has followed up with part two of the series. This time Val Kilmer talks to us about his role as main antagonist Dr. Walker Sloan.
Kilmer gives us really good insight into his character's role, motivation, methods and qualities. There's even a few clips of Kilmer in action. At first I thought it was odd that the guy who played Batman and Jim Morrison in the early 90's was going to voice a Spider-Man villain, but hearing him in action has quickly rested those fears. All these big-name actors lending their voices has me feeling good about Edge of Time. Do you guys think having all these big names associated with the game will pay off in the end?

Kevin Garnett congratulates himself after a nice pick
Paul Flannery wrote a nice piece about an open Celtics practice, and one observation he drew was one I definitely expected: Kevin Garnett never stops talking.
He talks when a screen comes. He talks when no screens come. He talks to himself, and he talks to teammates. He offers advice, and sometimes he talks just to talk. He even congratulates himself after nice plays. After one play in yesterday's practice, Garnett said, "Nice pick, Kev."
Which reminds me…
If you look at me now, it's difficult to tell I once played college basketball. In truth, saying I "played college basketball" is a drastic exaggeration. I sat the bench for a God-awful Skidmore College basketball team, and I only bring up this painful portion of my basketball career to tell a story.
Since I didn't play much (read: since I didn't play at all), I found a seat at the end of the bench and cheered on my teammates. But we were so bad it was often tough to cheer. We finished the season 2-22, and neither of our wins should have counted. One was against an NAIA team, which I'm pretty sure was filled with blind kids. At least, they played like they couldn't see the hoop, or — for that matter — any of their teammates, or the defenders. Whether or not the Lyndon State Hornets could see with 20/20 vision, I'm 100% positive my little brother's eighth-grade AAU team would have had no troubles dispatching them.
Our other win was an even bigger joke — it was against our league's top team. Due to a combination of my team's 30 turnovers (yes, 30 turnovers), and Hamilton College's 21 offensive rebounds, Hamilton shot 40 more times than we did. Yes, 40 more times. And they were the best team in our league. And we were a disgrace to James Naismith's legacy. Somehow, we still won. By "somehow," I mean we shot an impossible 61.4% from the field, including 11-15 (73.3%) from the three-point arc. To recap, we shot the ball better than we ever could have dreamed of and still needed overtime to win the game. We were THAT bad.
(And just to prove I actually tell the truth, here's the box score. You'll see my name, with zero minutes played. But I actually played in the game. For 3.1 seconds, that is. For some reason, my coach thought playing the game's final 3.1 seconds was actually what I wanted. He didn't realize it was completely humiliating to be nothing more than a victory cigar, especially when I couldn't even play offense (the only part of basketball I enjoyed) — I entered the game just in time for Hamilton's final heave. So thanks for the playing time, coach. You fucking asswipe.)
But I just went on a random rant about nothing, when the story I'm supposed to tell involves a preseason game in my sophomore year. Since there was nothing to cheer about on Skidmore College's basketball team, we bench players decided to do something else instead: we cracked jokes. We'd make fun of the other team, or our own teammates. One teammate, whose name I'll leave out of this, smelled quite a bit. Another was highly feminine. Another deserved to be cut, yet started. Another was what we like to call a "Practice MVP." In other words, he was far better in practice than he was in games — probably partially because he was playing against us bums in practice, and partially because his confidence was somewhere between "tiny" and "non-existent."
You could call us bad teammates, but, really, there was nothing else to do that would have kept us captivated. It's tough to cheer when your team loses by 40 points every night. Anyway, the preseason game came along, and I was doing my normal end-of-bench routine. Making fun of people left and right. Cracking jokes with the other end-of-bench scrubs. Living the dream with a free front row seat (okay, it was Division III basketball — all tickets were free). We were down by about 10 points at the end of the game (a huge improvement for us), when my favorite play ever happened.
A player on the other team, whose name was Travis, blocked a shot down low, saving a layup. He ran down the court, looked straight at our bench, slapped his own ass, and screamed out, "Good 'D', Trav." Just like Garnett, he was referring to himself in the third person while congratulating himself. From that moment on, whenever our team made a nice play, we all shouted out, "Good shot, Trav!", or "Good pass, Trav!" Sadly, with the bunch of scrubs we had, we didn't use the saying very often. There weren't too many nice plays.
And no, there was no point at all to this story. It doesn't tie in to the Celtics, except that Trav congratulated himself like KG did. Frankly, I don't even know why I included the story. You are all dumber for having read it. I award myself no points, and may God have mercy on my soul.
Back to Garnett, his steady stream of chatter sometimes seems directed at the meek, and the weak, and the ugly. But his defensive communication would make any coach happy. He's like a defensive quarterback, barking out signals and making sure everyone gets to the right spot. And he works so hard in practice that Doc Rivers asked him to take it easy.
"Almost too good," the coach said, discussing Garnett's practice enthusiasm. "That's Kevin every day. The problem we're having right now is not having enough guys to sub Kevin in practice and that actually hurts because we need Kevin for the whole year. I told him before practice, I'd like you to not do a lot of the active stuff if you can control yourself, and obviously he couldn't. That's just Kevin."
And the "Good 'D', Trav" story?
I guess you just had to be there.
