Change articles background?
Some items in the "Articles" section are awfully hard to read, with everything after the first paragraph or two in a black font on a dark-ish blue background. Any way to change this to something a little easier on the eyes?
I'm sure there is.
Bump so I can remember to check later and bring back to the top of the new posts so someone else might notice.
Didn't feel like checking all of them, but after briefly scanning the articles, I could only find black font over light backgrounds
"Choosing the Right Boat" in the boat-buying section is one of them. Maybe this is just a problem with older articles?
For the time being, until it's fixed (6 months or so after pigs start to fly) if you drag your cursor over the text, it changes to white. White on blue is easier to read.
Also, if someone does fix this issue, could they also look into the "Go to last post" function? It hasn't worked for the last few weeks.
Strangely enough, I ran into this problem yesterday. However, the failure did nt seem to be consistent upon reaccess to the same article.
Very weird. I found these 3, all by the same person. Not all of his are like this.
The next 2 are the same article just in different places. One is in "Buying a boat articles" and the other is in "Cruising articles"

Berkeley Exposure to dirty air is linked to decreased function of a gene that appears to increase the severity of asthma in children, according to a joint study by researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.
While air pollution is known to be a source of immediate inflammation, this new study provides one of the first pieces of direct evidence that explains how some ambient air pollutants could have long-term effects.
The findings, published in the October 2010 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, come from a study of 181 children with and without asthma in the California cities of Fresno and Palo Alto.
The researchers found that air pollution exposure suppressed the immune system's regulatory T cells (Treg), and that the decreased level of Treg function was linked to greater severity of asthma symptoms and lower lung capacity. Treg cells are responsible for putting the brakes on the immune system so that it doesn't react to non-pathogenic substances in the body that are associated with allergy and asthma. When Treg function is low, the cells fail to block the inflammatory responses that are the hallmark of asthma symptoms.
The findings have potential implications for altered birth outcomes associated with polluted air, much the same as those noted for the effects of cigarette smoke.
"When it came out that cigarettes can cause molecular changes, it meant the possibility that mothers who smoked could affect the DNA of their children during fetal development," said study lead author Dr. Kari Nadeau, pediatrician at Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and an assistant professor of allergy and immunology at Stanford's School of Medicine. "Similarly, these new findings suggest the possibility of an inheritable effect from environmental pollution."
Forty-one participants came from the Fresno Asthmatic Children's Environment Study (FACES

No matter what you think about this show you will think it strongly and you will know in two episodes whether it is your bag or not. The typical options i have heard from people are : THE BAD::Holy god this is awful. Linda's voice is awful.This is not family guy. Why is Bob so monotone. Ugh its drawn like poop. THE GOOD:: Those little inside jokes in the background are genius, I love these characters they remind me of my family and their quirks are hysterical.You dont have to go blue to make a great family comedy and it can be a-political. THE INDIFFERENT ( my camp ):: Yeah it grows on you but if it went away tomorrow, then there would be that.Heh, that was a good joke they just told.

Welcome to the new AT&T Community
We've got a fresh look! Take the tour to see what's new.
I am giving a friend of mine for her birthday an [unlocked] iPhone 5S.
I have some done some inquiries and she has the $50 smartphone prepaid plan that gives her unlimited talk, domestic and international messaging. But this plan has no data (it says WiFi only).
I was under the impression that iPhones were required to have a valid data plan or has this changed? Will she have any problems using the phone?
I'm not aware of any requirement that prepaid iPhone needs a data plan. Smartphone plan yes, which the $50 smartphone plan obviously is.
Also, iPhone itself can function just fine with data disabled, it's less fun to use when there's no Wi-Fi but it's certainly still a capable phone, but she shouldn't have any problems using voice/text (the phone will automatically fall back to SMS instead of iMessage for all texting needs).
:cathappy: Remember that Wild Banchi... 1993-2010 :cathappy:
Interesting. I haven't used prepaid before, so I didn't know you can get smartphone plan without data on prepaid.. Personally I can't imagine using the iPhone without any form of 3G data since I'm often away from WiFi.
I asked if she wanted to switch to the $60 plan, but she says she is always on WiFi and when she isn't she is not concerned that much about using her phone.

Tom Ford interview
But what's going on beneath Tom Ford's supercool exterior? Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
Tom Ford. For anyone with even a passing interest in fashion, the name needs little introduction. The 50-year-old Texan-born, New York-educated fashion designer-architect-businessman-writer-producer and model has worked as creative director of Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci, before launching his own eponymous clothing, fragrance, cosmetics and accessories brand in 2005 – and surprising everyone with multi-award-winning film A Single Man in 2009, as well as his first women's line last year.
Today he has 21 stand-alone stores, including one in Dubai, and is stocked in more than 65 shops internationally. No wonder he's renowned as fashion royalty, and such a favourite in our over-achieving city. But what's a man this successful really like? Can he possibly still have both feet on the ground? What is it about his style that people love so much? We had an incredibly frank talk with him to find out.
Something about you, Mr Ford, unnerves people. Maybe it's your charm. Or your humour. I'm a little nervous...
[Talking slowly] You don't have to be nervous, I'm just Tom. There's Mr Ford the product and Tom the person. They overlap but I'm always surprised when people are nervous. You're afraid of my charm? No, come on. [Sits up and leans in] Where are you from? Did you grow up here?
Throughout our interview, Ford steers the conversation to his preferred direction time and time again. 'Do you mind if I refer to my question sheet?' I ask. Ford turns his line of vision to my business card. 'Time Out,' he purrs, 'You're supposed to hand it to me properly.' And before I can utter another word he's running away with his own conversation… 'I think of myself now as an international global brand.'
So you have a world view.
I believe what ultimately will happen, 100 years from now, is that we'll all be completely racially blended. You know, culturally, everyone's into marrying the world and the world is shrinking in terms of communication. Racial boundaries are completely a blur. Chinese will be marrying Americans, will be marrying African-Americans. It may take 250 years but we will be one race. The world. It will all blur together. So I think we're at the last moments of separate ethnic races.
Would you like to have children?
I always said I wanted to have children. And as I got a little bit older, [my partner] did not want children. And so I decided not to have children. But if I have children, no one will know about it until the child is born. Maybe you'll see it when it's 18, but I will keep it out of the spotlight. I wouldn't use it as a press tool, as some people I know have recently.
Can we talk about your rumoured new comedy film?
No, because I won't tell you about it. I believe you should do something and then talk about it, which is why I didn't talk about my women's collection until it just appeared in New York. And I didn't talk about my movie until it was finished.
But the script must be…
I don't want to talk about it because I believe you're also giving away energy when you talk about things.
Are you good with words?
I think so. Have you read my last screenplay? I wrote A Single Man. You have to tell me. I think I am.
Do you feel very close to comedy?
I'm surprisingly more humorous than people realise. You have to have comedy in life because there's so much tragedy; you feel you have to laugh at it.
Let's talk about your fashion label. Enzo Ferrari would never sell his cars to somebody with bad taste. What does Tom Ford feel about this?
I used to make jeans that cost Dhs180, and at this stage in my life, after 25 years in the fashion business, what interests me the most is the best. The best fabric, the best stitching, the best quality, and that is, by nature, expensive. It doesn't mean I'm trying to exclude or make a social judgement about not wanting people who can't afford my clothes to be stylish. By the way, style has nothing to do with money. So I wouldn't say, 'no, I wouldn't sell it to somebody I don't like' but because of the things that I'm designing they are targeted towards the kind of person that I would normally want to [dress].
So you've auto-selected your clients during the design process already...
I think one does do that when they design. You do design for a kind of ideal. The ideal comes from me, from menswear. I'm my muse. So you're not going to go in there and find elasticated waistbands and flip-flops.
How do you feel about John Galliano being sacked for racial comments and Alexander McQueen's untimely death?
I certainly relate. I brought Alexander McQueen to Gucci Group and I loved him and he's a true artist. I do understand that pressure, because I used to have it. You work for a large company like that and it's Dhs11 billion a year in business. And if you do a bad collection, the company's sale drops dramatically. Everyone who works for that company feels proud of the products that are created. If you have a bad collection and it's reviewed badly and it's not selling, the pride and the whole company drops, and you feel responsible. With the work at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent I couldn't have gone on much longer because I was designing 16 collections a year, I was the vice chairman of the company, working in the acquisitions committee, bringing in Stella McCartney and buying all these different brands and designing collections. There was enormous pressure and you have to be very strong. And you become isolated. Even though I really helped build Gucci to where it was I was like a racehorse. You need to perform, perform, perform.
How do you feel about Galliano?
I don't want to comment. I know John, I like John a lot.
Do people say 'yes' to you all the time?
Of course they do.
And is that part of the pressure?
Yes. You lose perspective. I hadn't flown on a commercial plane for 10 years when I left Gucci. I now fly on some commercial planes. It's a good awakening for me.

We went to Westerly, RI for a getaway with two other couples at the end of September. We just all wanted a litlte getaway. This is a very clean beachfront hotel. The price was right for off-season. We would stay there during the peak of summer. The views are spectacular. The room was extremely clean. It was small, but I don't mind small if the room is spotless which it was. This is a great beachfront hotel. Yes, I agree with previous reviews, the beds could have been more comfortable. If I had to also change one thing, it would be that people wouldn't be allowed to smoke on the balcony. The balcony is shared by all rooms, so the smoke drifts quite a bit. Other than that, it was great!

The analyses revealed that while pummelos represent a single citrus species (Citrus maxima), the same cannot be said of cultivated mandarins, even those long held as not having intermixed with other varieties. Comparing sequences of so-called "traditional" mandarins such as the Asian cultivar Ponkan and the Mediterranean cultivar Willowleaf with mandarins known to be developed hybrids indicated that all contain segments of the pummelo genome. The "wild" Mangshan mandarin from China is an exception to the rule, as its genome revealed it was in fact a separate species from other cultivated mandarins.
The findings echo Gmitter's quip when he spoke at the DOE JGI's 7th Annual Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting in March 2012. "Citrus has incestuous genes," he told the audience. "Nothing is pure."

time assign column in media
when NetBackup goes to use a tape and mounts it, it gets assigned -
assigned means that NetBackup took a scratch tape with no assigned date and tried to use the tape today - does not mean that it wrote to it.
Now when NetBackup writes to the tape it gets an images ( this does not change the assigned date).
if the backup is good then the tape has an assigned date, and has a good images.
Media gets time assigned when it is mounted on a drive for first time or when a good image has been written on a tape?
Comments 9 Comments • Jump to latest comment
The moment that the resource broker identifies a tape to be used by a media server, it Assigns it to the media server and add Assign Time in the volume table of the EMM database. If there is a problem with the media, for example write-protected and gets frozen as a result, the Assign Time along with the Frozen status remains - no data, no image written.
The normal behaviour is that the Assign Time is more or less the same time as first image written.
There is no need for forum questions like this - you can easily enough confirm this in your own environment by checking output of
nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid <media-id>
on some of your Assigned tapes.
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows
Handy NBU Links
I just did a test. I let test 1 work completely:
Time Assigned is when NetBackup first allocates the tape to be used. It may
or may not contain data. Use the bpmedialist command to be sure. If the
column is blank, the tape is definitely unused and does not have any valid
data on it (i.e. no data in the image catalog, there may be old, expired
data on the tape that will remain there until it is overwritten

The importance of orchestration in transforming legacy IT
How orchestration differs from automation in the enterprise cloud.
The orchestration of workflow processes is an essential part of cloud computing. Without orchestration, many of the benefits and characteristics of cloud computing cannot be achieved at the price point that cloud services should be offered. Failure to automate as many processes as possible results in higher personnel labor costs, slower time to deliver the new service to customers, and ultimately higher cost with less reliability.
What is meant by automation? Automation is technique used in traditional data centers —and critical in a cloud environment — to install software or initiate other activities. Traditional IT administrators use sequential scripts to perform a series of tasks (e.g. software installation or configuration); however, this is now considered an antiquated technique in a modern cloud-based environment. Orchestration differs from automation in that it does not rely entirely on static sequential scripts but rather sophisticated workflows; multiple automated threads; query-based and if/then logic; object-oriented and topology workflows; and even the ability to back-out a series of automated commands if necessary.
Orchestration can best be explained through a typical use case example of a customer placing an order within their cloud service web-portal, and following the steps necessary to bring the service online. The actions below illustrate a very high level scenario where the cloud management software performs the orchestration:
Building applications in Azure
Identifying the key requirements of a web application cloud architecture.
Download a free copy of "Azure for Developers," an O'Reilly report by experienced .NET developer John Adams that breaks down Microsoft's Azure platform in plain language, so that you can quickly get up to speed.
One of the most natural uses of the cloud is for web applications. You may already be using virtual machines on your own systems to make deploying your applications easier, either to new hardware or to additional servers. Microsoft Azure uses virtualization too, but it also brings useful benefits that virtualization cannot deliver alone. By hosting your application in the cloud, you can leverage automatic scaling, load balancing, system health monitoring, and logging. You also benefit from the fact that managed cloud platforms help narrow the attack surface of your system by automatically patching the operating system and runtimes and by keeping systems sandboxed. Let's look at some examples of how to build some common web applications inside of Microsoft Azure.
Online store
Imagine that you work for a retailer who generates a significant amount of revenue through online sales. Imagine also that this retailer has been around for long enough that it already has an established web architecture that runs in a private data center. This retailer has decided that it wants to move to a hosted platform so that it no longer has any data center responsibilities and it can focus on its core business. How do you replatform this web application into Microsoft Azure? Let's first identify some requirements for this system:
- It has high utilization and needs to serve a large number of concurrent users without timing out, even during peak hours such as Black Friday sales.
- It needs to accommodate a wide variety of products in its database that do not necessarily all follow the same schema.
- It needs a fast and intelligent search bar so that customers can find products easily.
- It needs to be able to recommend products to customers as they shop to help generate additional revenue.
However these requirements are being met today in the private data center, I can suggest some guidelines on how to reproduce this system in Microsoft Azure so you can boost performance instead of just replicating it. I will take each of these requirements in order and explain how to leverage certain Azure components so that these requirements are properly met.

From Industrialism to Post-Industrialism
Leveraging the power of emergence to balance flexibility with coherency.
Download a free copy of Building an Optimized Business, a curated collection of chapters from the O'Reilly Web Operations and Performance library. This post is an excerpt by Jeff Sussna from Designing Delivery, one of the selections included in the curated collection.
In 1973, Daniel Bell published a book called "The Coming of Post-Industrial Society". In it, he posited a seismic shift away from industrialism towards a new socioeconomic structure which he named 'post-industrialism'. Bell identified four key transformations that he believed would characterize the emergence of post-industrial society:
- Service would replace products as the primary driver of economic activity
- Work would rely on knowledge and creativity rather than bureaucracy or manual labor
- Corporations, which had previously strived for stability and continuity, would discover change and innovation as their underlying purpose
- These three transformations would all depend on the pervasive infusion of computerization into business and daily life
If Bell's description of the transition from industrialism to post-industrialism sounds eerily familiar, it should. We are just now living through its fruition. Every day we hear proclamations touting the arrival of the service economy. Service sector employment has outstripped product sector employment throughout the developed world. 1
Companies are recognizing the importance of the customer experience. Drinking coffee has become as much about the bar and the barista as about the coffee itself. Owning a car has become as much about having it serviced as about driving it. New disciplines such as service design are emerging that use design techniques to improve customer satisfaction throughout the service experience.

3 easy reasons why you'll move your business to the cloud
Migrating to cloud-native application architectures leads to innovation.
Editor's note: this is an advance excerpt from Chapter 1 of the forthcoming Migrating to Cloud-Native Application Architectures by Matt Stine. This report examines how the cloud enables innovation and the changes an enterprise must consider when adopting cloud-native application architectures.
Let's examine the common motivations behind moving to cloud-native application architectures.
It's become clear that speed wins in the marketplace. Businesses that are able to innovate, experiment, and deliver software-based solutions quickly are outcompeting those that follow more traditional delivery models.
In the enterprise, the time it takes to provision new application environments and deploy new versions of software is typically measured in days, weeks, or months. This lack of speed severely limits the risk that can be taken on by any one release, because the cost of making and fixing a mistake is also measured on that same timescale.
Internet companies are often cited for their practice of deploying hundreds of times per day. Why are frequent deployments important? If you can deploy hundreds of times per day, you can recover from mistakes almost instantly. If you can recover from mistakes almost instantly, you can take on more risk. If you can take on more risk, you can try wild experiments—the results might turn into your next competitive advantage.
The elasticity and self-service nature of cloud-based infrastructure naturally lends itself to this way of working. Provisioning a new application environment by making a call to a cloud service API is faster than a form-based manual process by several orders of magnitude. Deploying code to that new environment via another API call adds more speed. Adding self-service and hooks to teams' continuous integration/build server environments adds even more speed. Eventually we can measure the answer to Lean guru Mary Poppendick's question, "How long would it take your organization to deploy a change that involves just one single line of code?" in minutes or seconds.
Imagine what your team… what your business… could do if you were able to move that fast!

Pleasant Elementary Principal Janice Smith says she believes students' love of reading will increase greatly, thanks to a new program.
Pleasant staff membes have put together a reading incentive program that involves passports and "vacations" to popular destinations.
During a recent assembly, Smith read Dr. Seuss' "Oh the Places You'll Go" to students. Smith and her staff then let the students vote on places they'd like to "visit." The results were narrowed down to the top four: Hawaii, Hollywood, Calif., Africa and Disney.
Students voted on those, the results have been tallied and Smith will announce the winner on Friday.
A feature story about the new program was published in Thursday's Reflector.

As with most Lezyne gear this is excellent. Very solid and nice to use while not being too heavy to leave in my tiny saddle bag. Only complaint I have is that the short length can make it difficult to get into small places on a bike, that however did not stop me from using it in an emergency to tighten down a water bottle cage on the verge of leaving my bike on a bumpy road.

The Morning Dish – Thursday, April 2, 2015
Even at the lower levels of NCAA Division I, there are programs that are sleeping giants. Liberty is one such place, a school where the resources have often outpaced the results on the court. The Flames often have been far more asleep than a giant since joining D-I almost 30 years ago, but the school's coaching history has been…interesting? Quirky? Bizarre? Take your pick.
Liberty has its new coach to replace Dale Layer, and it's one of the school's former coaches. Ritchie McKay coached the Flames for two years from 2007-09 before leaving to take an assistant position at Virginia. In his second year at Liberty, McKay led the team to a 23-12 record, tying the school's NCAA Division I record for wins.

Palm Desert, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2013
ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!), a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide care and treatment to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), has announced it will commit up to $100,000 in funding to underserved families in the Coachella Valley who are impacted by autism as part of the ACT Today! Español program. This initiative to serve the Coachella Valley will help families, particularly in Spanish-speaking communities, by providing financial assistance through a grant program to obtain care and treatment for autism, access to a Spanish-speaking program coordinator to assist families, and access to information and resources in Spanish on topics related to autism. ACT Today! hopes its initiative will increase awareness of autism spectrum disorder in underserved communities, as well as the resources available to treat it.
"I applaud ACT Today! for initiating this grant program, which will provide much needed funds for local families with autism," said State Assemblymember V. Manuel Pérez, who represents Coachella Valley communities. Pérez is the author of the recently signed AB 1232, which helps to ensure that developmental services provided through the state's regional centers are provided in a linguistically and culturally competent manner. "Many of our local families struggle simply to make ends meet, and these grant dollars will make a significant difference in a family's ability to access treatments and assessments or to cover other needed expenditures."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 88 children in America is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), making ASD more prevalent than juvenile diabetes, pediatric cancer, and childhood AIDS combined. A recent study from the CDC also found that the greatest growth in prevalence of autism has occurred with

-- First Fisher Scientific Chinese-language catalog introduced to serve
those markets
"We delivered excellent financial performance in the quarter, with a 25% increase in adjusted EPS and 140 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion even though our growth was somewhat affected by having fewer days in the quarter," said Marijn E. Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. "Recognizing that there is economic uncertainty in the world today, we remain confident that our balanced mix of markets, geographies, products and services puts us in a strong position to deliver on our financial goals for 2008.
"We announced a number of new developments in the quarter that fortify our position as the world leader in serving science. Under our Thermo Scientific brand, we launched exciting new instrumentation that simplifies sophisticated analytical technologies so non-experts can use them for a broader range of applications. We also introduced a new siRNA platform that allows life sciences researchers to study more cell types in their quest to develop better treatments for disease. In addition, our new MRSA diagnostic test is designed to make it easier for doctors to screen patients for staph infection when they are admitted to the hospital. Finally, we published our first Fisher Scientific catalog in Chinese to make our broad portfolio of laboratory supplies available to more customers in that growing market."
Mr. Dekkers added, "Primarily as a result of more favorable currency
translation, we are raising our revenue guidance for the year and now
expect to report full year 2008 revenues in the range of $10.6 to $10.7
billion, resulting in 9 to 10% growth over 2007. The revenue increase also

Are nitto aluminum stems and bars clear coated or are they anodized? The reason I ask is I'm thinking of polishing my aluminum stem and my aluminum bars.
Are nitto aluminum stems and bars clear coated or are they anodized? The reason I ask is I'm thinking of polishing my aluminum stem and my aluminum bars.
neither i believe that the finish you see on them is just the aluminum finish. if you get the crested bars i beleive the part that is raised is polished and then the rest of the bars are the regular aluminum finish. you could always get some chromed steel bars. i have the nitto threadless brass stem and steal bars. i run my bars real skinny too. (36's) if you live in an area with alot of traffic where you will be shooting inbetween cars i recomend you get some super skinny bars. the 36's are the same width as your pedals,
the bars look like there isn't any finish on them but the stem looks different. I think the stem has a finish on it like most cranks and rims do. I have chromed steel bars, but I wanted to try out some lighter bars and I don't want to spend $100+ on a steel nitto stem.
the nitto threadless stems are brass thats then chromed.
Nitto threadless stems are chromed fillet-brazed cromoly steel not brass. The brass might be used for the brazing, but not for the tubes.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

erm i'm not asking about the nitto threadless stems. I'm asking about the aluminum jag threaded stem.... thanks.
I know. I just had to correct above statements. Sorry.
Not sure about the Jag alu stem. Call or email John at businesscycles he is very helpfull and knows his stuff.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

My mistake, I must have not remembered right from when I was listening to the shop guy tell ricflair about them.
i have a Nitto Jag. stem & deep drop alum bars. it's a great looking combo...
The finish is polished aluminum, which doesn't have the bling look of polished crome.

Principal's Message
Recently the Yakima School District has changed the look and lay out of the report card as well as the way students are graded. The following is an expert from an article explaining this change and standards based grading.
For an increasing number of students, report cards with traditional letter grades are a thing of the past. Instead of A's and B's, their report cards might have 2's and 3's. This new look is a result of standards-based grading, an approach in which students receive scores for both academic achievement and student work habits. Standards-based report cards have been most commonly used at the elementary level, but some middle schools and high schools are adopting them, too. In states that have adopted the Common Core State Standards, some school districts have moved to standards-based grading to show how students are meeting the standards. Standards-based grading is a method for teachers to measure how students are doing in meeting the learning goals for their grade as determined by their state's standards (Commons Core State Standards). Learning goals are the academic skills your child should know or be able to do for his grade level by the end of the school year.
Providing grades for academic progress and work habits gives parents more information about the areas in which their child needs to improve, more than the traditional letter grading system did. The traditional grading system combined many elements—test scores, quizzes, completed homework, classroom participation, coming to school on time, extra credit—and averages the semester's work into a percentage that correlates with a letter grade. In standards based grading a score is given separately for academics and for effort. This gives parents more accurate information. In standards based grading you can see if your child needs help with an academic concept or can't remember to turn in homework. Both should be addressed. An overarching goal in education these days is to develop students who not only master academic content but also demonstrate attributes for successful learning beyond school.
The proficiency levels are explained this way: 4 Consistently on pace to exceed standards by year's end- Exceeds the standard 3 Consistently on pace to meet standards by year's end- At standard 2 Inconsistent progress toward meeting standards by year's end- Below standard 1 Needs improvement – significantly below standard
If you're confused by what the levels mean, you're not alone. Keep in mind that a 3 or "proficient" isn't the same as a B. It means your child has met state grade level standards, and that's good. Also, even top students can earn a 2 or "Inconsistent progress" grade, which can be a shock for some families. But it's more important to know if your child is struggling with a concept than to see a slew of top grades because of stellar work habits. On the upside, early low scores aren't averaged into the final grade—so once your child masters the concept, her final grade shows that. Level 4, or the top level, may be the trickiest to understand. If your child earned A's on traditional report cards, she may have received them for meeting the teacher's requirements, not necessarily for excelling at or going beyond grade level according to state standard. In the new system, 4's may be harder to come by (and 3's should be celebrated). However, earning 4's should be achievable in the classroom and it's important that teachers' lessons offer opportunities for students to excel and reach level 4. This is an area we as a school will be developing since the adoption of standards-based grading and Common Core State Standards.
As the grading system becomes familiar, you'll get more comfortable. The important thing is that your child is learning and making progress. Celebrate learning, and don't forget to ask your child's teacher if you need clarification around the report card.

In spite of the safety benefits of booster seat use, the poll found that almost half of parents with kids, ages 7 - 8, say they would not use booster seats if there were no laws.
"The key issue here is safety, regardless of the child's age. Booster seats improve the way a seatbelt fits a child. It helps lift them up in the cars' seat so that the lap belt sits low on their thighs and doesn't ride up on their abdomen," Macy says. "It keeps the shoulder belt across the middle of their chest in between their ear and their arm. This reduces the risk of injuries to the spine, to the head and to the abdomen.
"When kids don't fit comfortably in seatbelts, it often leads them to wear them improperly. Kids will sometimes put the chest belt behind them or under their arm and then they're not getting full protection from that seatbelt as it was designed for an adult to use. Not wearing the belt properly increases the likelihood of injury in a crash," she says.
Part of the problem is lack of up-to-date information for parents so they understand the importance of booster seat use and how to use them properly, Macy says. The best resources for current information are the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and talking with their child's primary care physician.
