Delivery Man's Britt Robertson Talks Working With Vince Vaughn And The Fantastical Tomorrowland
By Eric Eisenberg 2013-11-22 14:24:35 comments
Acting since she was just 10 years old, Britt Robertson has spent most of her career on television, starring on shows like Life Unexpected, The Secret Circle and, most recently, Under The Dome, but she continues to pick up big screen roles as well. In addition to being in the middle of production on Brad Birds Tomorrowland, this weekend she can be seen starring alongside Vince Vaughn in the new dramedy Delivery Man.
In the new movie Robertson stars as Kristen, one of the 533 children that Vaughns character, David, unknowingly fathered through multiple anonymous donations to a local fertility clinic. Kristen, unfortunately, has had a hard life and has turned to drugs as a result, but when David meets her he feels compelled to try and be her guardian angel.
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to sit down with the young actress one on one to talk not only about her latest film, but also the work shes been doing on Tomorrowland and what we can hope to see from her in the season of Under The Dome. Read on to find out what she had to say!
When you first start looking at a character what do you really hone in on?
Like in general? What do I hone in on? I mean, like lately, well, not necessarily lately, but for a long time its been like age, because Im 23, but I really do look very young and so for a long time I would be sent these roles would be like "mid-twenties, sexy" and Im like, okay, I cannot play mid-twenties sexy. So, a lot of times I just want to feel comfortable in my skin, to bring something to a character that maybe somebody else hasnt and also just find some depth and truth and realness into a person so that an audience can relate and have some, you know, I dont know, emotional...
Exactly. So, those are the kinds of things I look for.
From there, when you were approaching the character of Kristen in Delivery Man, what would you kind of dig your teeth into?
I actually really loved the character because she was kind of this young girl, whos super feisty, trying to make a way on her own and you know, get an apartment in New York. She has nobody in life, but is really kind of falling apart and she cant hold on to anything and for me, like, in life, Ive always kind of been the person to take on huge tasks that I probably cant handle, and I sort of lose my mind in the midst of it, and I thought it would be... Theres a sweetness and a vulnerability and also a toughness to someone like that who can take on the world, but like really not know how to handle it.
Its a competence and independence.
Exactly, but its so sweet to see them try and give up and fail and then have these people like Vince who come into their lives and help them out, and thats kind of what I was drawn to.
And what kind of conversations did you have with Ken Scott when you first got to the set?
A lot of the conversations for me and my character were about levels because like with my character, she can be like, at a 105 all the time or there can be these moments of anger and sadness, resentment and hurt. So, he wanted to make sure that, especially the first scene, where you meet my character, that there was, I mean, its a very short time, but he wanted to make sure that you could see something was happening, and it wasnt just to be skated right over.
And it is very subtle...
Exactly, but that's kind of what he wanted. He wanted it to have an impact but still be subtle and not be a slap in the face. Shes a young girl and shes sort of been thrown into this situation and has these issues. So, those are the kind of conversations we talked about, just the different levels and where she would be and how we wanted to play with those.

Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune reports that TOOL and THE KILLERS are expected to fill out the headlining slots for the fifth annual Lollapalooza festival, set to take place August 7-9 at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Also scheduled to appear are the BEASTIE BOYS, DEPECHE MODE and JANE'S ADDICTION, plus KINGS OF LEON.Brad Angle of Guitar World magazine recently conducted an interview with TOOL guitarist Adam Jones. When asked how the songwriting process for the band's new album was coming along, Jones replied, "It's been coming along... great! [laughs] No, we've been on hiatus. I'm writing and [bassist] Justin [Chancellor]'s been writing, but [frontman] Maynard [James Keenan] has been working on his wine. We've all just been taking some time away from each other, which has been nice. I've also been working on producing some comics."
TOOL has been on break from touring and writing since early 2008, following nearly two years of supporting their most recent studio album, 2006's "10,000 Days", which marked its first set of new material since 2001's "Lateralus".
In December, Maynard James Keenan revealed that he had been working with A PERFECT CIRCLE guitarist Billy Howerdel on new material for a possible new release. When asked about releasing the material or touring, he stated, "I doubt if we'll do any touring or, you know, do a full album," he said. "We might do some one-off shows here and there if the timing's right and it seems like a good vibe and a smart thing to do. But most likely we'll just kind of concentrate on, you know, one or two songs at a time, rather than investing all the time and money and effort into making those plastic discs that no one cares about anymore."

Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu and Galapagos
We boarded the train mid-day for Machu Picchu. Someone had gotten us the two front seats on the train with a picture window view of our trip! We dropped off our bags and headed up to the ruins. The ride on the bus was amazing with all of the hairpin turns to get to Machu Picchu.
An amazing visit at MP. We are greeted at first by thunderstorms crashing through the valley, then are rewarded by a rainbow over the city! What a place. How could they build that all the way up the mountain like that? Alpacas live among the ruins and were enjoying their meal of grass. Beautiful mountains surround and we saw where the Inca trail leads into Machu Picchu.

1: Anthony Wong
Pop music pioneer Anthony Wong has helped define Hong Kong music – and he's helping the next generation. That's why he's our number one, writes Hamish McKenzie
Anthony Wong is on his way out of the Fringe Club after a demanding photoshoot that has lasted the better part of two hours, but he stops to make one last point. The photographer got him thinking. The spotlight above his head, the photographer had told him, was like a halo. That reminded Wong of a song from his new record, King of the Road, that touches on ageing. The song, called The Halo Above Your Head, refers to a balding patch on top of a man's dome. In the lyrics, Wong implores people to look at the bald spot not as a sign of deterioration, but of intellectual grace. "You can look at it like a halo, an accumulation of your experiences, and an accumulation of your wisdom," says the singer, who has earned the respect of fans and critics alike for more than 20 years.
Yes, you read that right – Anthony Wong Yiu-ming, icon of Hong Kong's pop music scene, has written a song about balding. It's in keeping with the feel of his new album – Wong's surprising first-time foray into country and western – which explores issues the artist never had to deal with in his earlier years: ageing, illness, death. "I don't think it's a record for old people," he says with a laugh. "No – I think it is a record for someone who has finally come to terms with adulthood."
For a man who has made electronics and showmanship a hallmark of his career, the shift to country and western might seem an unconventional choice – especially when juxtaposed with his last album, Like Water, a wonderfully ostentatious pop opera that came in a vinyl-sized box package and featured images of a sci-fi Wong completely covered in glittering jewels. "Maybe it's a reaction to what I did on my last record," Wong muses. "Because on my last record, everything was so over the top and so complicated and so operatic." This time, he has taken the opportunity to draw on some of his traditional folk favourites – Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Glenn Campbell – and channel the captivating work of more recent alt-country and nu-folk champions such as Calexico, Elliott Smith, and late-era Johnny Cash. Says Wong: "This is one of the most simple records I have done in years".
To close observers of Wong's career, and the legions of fans who have stuck with him since his days with the groundbreaking 1980s synth-pop act Tat Ming Pair, surprising changes of direction and crossover ventures have become the norm. While various other performers of his era have placidly bowed to commercial interests and make lucrative livings churning out karaoke-friendly insta-hits, Wong has played the game on his own terms, crafting an image and a catalogue that offers an alternative voice – literally, with his almost androgynous, Bowie-esque tones, and figuratively, in presenting a persona that sits most comfortably in the realms of fantasy, far removed from the safety of the Cantopop mainstream.
"While everybody's being a conformist, he sticks to his beliefs," says Henry Chung, the blues harmonica maestro and Time Out jazz columnist who contributed to the first single, Canton-Hong Kong Highway, on Wong's new album. "His brand of music is distinctively Anthony Wong. All these years, he has been consistent with what he believes and has never tried to compromise with the mainstream audience."
There's another little thing that sets Wong apart from his Cantopop counterparts. "Anthony can sing," Chung remarks wryly. "That makes a big difference. A lot of his fans right now are leftover fans from the 80s with the Tat Ming Pair. He's created a loyal following and I think these fans are crazy about him. His music really has a lot of character."
That freedom of expression allows him to pen songs that veer away from the traditional pop themes of new love, troubled love, and lost love. And so, on King of the Road, we witness Wong not only celebrating the beauty of ageing, but also examining the increased cross-border intermingling since the handover (Canton-Hong Kong Highway), globalisation (One World – a tale about a heartbroken man who escapes his problems in his home city only to find every other city is the same), and speaking out for oft-neglected senior citizens (Panic Alarm). For the latter, Wong asked kids from the impoverished city of Tin Shui Wai to contribute vocals to the track as a way to draw attention to the plight of the elderly. "In Hong Kong, people just care about youth and glamour, and being trendy, but they don't care about the senior citizens," he says.
The result is an album that is firmly rooted in a country aesthetic and storytelling tradition – but Wong couldn't help but include some of those electronics. Sure, it's country – but Wong-style country. "I think this is a country and western album in a very rock sense," he offers. He also confesses to getting distracted during production, which perhaps explains why he goes slightly off-message with an English-language cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack – his favourite band.
It all speaks to Wong's unceasing creativity and crossover instincts. Those were qualities on beautiful display in his 2006 collaboration with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra for a series of concerts at the Coliseum, called Bauhinia Rhapsody. Over four nights, Wong sang his own material and covered material earlier performed by peers such as Faye Wong and Cass Pang, as well as Western pop favourites such as Bittersweet Symphony, Goldfinger, and Sunny, demonstrating not only an impressively wide range but also a tasteful evasion of U2.
Leung Kin-fung, the HKPO's violin concert master, remembers well the sold-out concerts. "All the songs we performed were actually from his repertoire, so he knew all the songs pretty well," Leung says. "Instead, the arranger arranged totally different pieces to make it sound completely new." Leung says Wong was initially – and understandably – nervous in the presence of the large orchestra, but the violinist was impressed with his work ethic and commitment to the project. "He kept asking for rehearsals and longer hours. In front of an orchestra he's very humble. I like him a lot."
As Wong recalls, it was a challenging endeavour. "The Hong Kong Philharmonic experience was really nerve-racking," he recalls with a laugh. "I had been looking forward to that all my life, but when it happened, it was really scary. You could only have so much time for rehearsal, because you can't ask 80 people to rehearse with you day and night for three or four weeks."
Still, it was perhaps a career highlight for Wong as a solo musician, with the concerts forming the basis for a three-disc box set and a DVD. Along with his music-theatre collaborations with experimental theatre group Zuni Icosahedron, Bauhinia Rhapsody perfectly encapsulates Wong's diversity and cross-genre efficacy.
But those aren't the only reasons Time Out has chosen Anthony Wong as our number one musician. Indeed, one of the singer's most important contributions to Hong Kong music happened off stage. In 1999, he founded the production company People Mountain People Sea, initially as a pet project to record an album for one of his friends and long-time collaborators, Jason Choi. In the last decade, the company has grown from a part-time side endeavour into a fully-blown enterprise that has the potential to significantly re-shape the Cantopop industry. Wong has used the platform to promote the talents of some unlikely young stars, such as the quirky indie-pop duo Pixel Toy, and Eman Lam and Ellen Joyce Loo, known as the 'folktronica' duo at17 (number four in our top 20).
At17 proved to be an inspired choice. When Wong plucked the girls from shopping mall- and café-gig obscurity, some doubted they would be accepted by an image-obsessed industry. The girls, then teenagers, certainly didn't fit the unhealthily-skinny and cutesy starlet stereotype. But Wong was insistent on signing the talented singer-songwriters. Loo, now 22, remembers that Wong said at the time, "Why can't a chubby girl sing?"
"I still feel really touched when I think about that situation," she says.
Wong has a slightly different version of events and says it was the girls who were uncertain about their prospects for a music career. "I think they themselves were not very confident about being in the industry – maybe because of the way they looked. They didn't look like conventional popstars," he says. "I said, 'You don't have to look or sound like other people if your music is good.'"
Today, at17 can fill arenas with thousands of fans and have enjoyed great chart success, while Wong has encouraged them to retain their artistic independence and drive their own productions, from song-writing to stage shows.
For Tommy Chan, founder and owner of indie music distributor Love da Records, the advent of People Mountain People Sea is Wong's finest achievement. "The way they approach [the music business] is different to the others. For me it's more like European style," says Chan. Music is Wong's top priority, says Chan, and, unlike traditional Hong Kong labels, he's unconcerned with turning the singers into movie stars as a way to help raise their profiles. "He's more than a singer already – he's helping the new artists as well."
Despite the near-universal respect he enjoys from his peers, critics, and fans, Wong remains humble about his role in the entertainment scene. "I'm not sure how big a star I am. I know that I've been singing for so long, and I've built up something. I've got a little fame," he says. "I know that some people will look up to me as an idol, or something like that, but I try not to let it go to my head too much."
His latest work can be understood as a 'road' album – a motif that has for so long been a staple of country music. He's even taken the title from a Wim Wenders flick, Kings of the Road (1976), one of his favourite films from a director known for his artistic fixation on the highway. The idea of the road figures strongly on the cover art and it's the central theme for the opening and closing songs: Cantonese and Mandarin versions of Canton-Hong Kong Highway.
After 23 years on the scene, Wong is a long way down his own imaginative highway – but it seems he's far from reaching the end. He keeps finding new branches, fresh detours, and intriguing back trails to explore. One minute he's driving through the urban heart of Hong Kong; the next he's whistling past verdant classical forests. With every new journey, he re-writes another little slice of our pop history. Let's hope he keeps his foot off the brakes.
Anthony Wong's King of the Road is on sale now.

The Need
The food science and technology industry is facing a serious challenge –the number of qualified graduates from undergraduate and graduate food science programs is not sufficient to fill all positions in the food industry, government, and academia.
Cornell University recognized this need in 2000, and established the Summer Scholars Program to help meet the need for more students both pursuing advanced degrees and devloping an interest in food science and technology related careers.
What is the Summer Scholars Program?
The Summer Scholars Program is an intensive ten-week program in which students participate in a research project. During these ten weeks, students conduct their research with the assistance of a faculty mentor and are given the opportunity to visit research and development laboratories at major food companies. Participants also attend presentations and workshops and are exposed to a variety of professionals working in academia, government, and industry. The breadth of these experiences gives students an in-depth view of the various career opportunities available in the field of food science.
We are pleased to be working with Cornell University, NC State University, University of Massachusetts, Texas Tech University and Purdue University to support this important opportunity for students.
What is the Purpose?
The program was developed to recruit students into food science as a field of study, to motivate students' interest in an advanced degree, to recruit students from underrepresented minorities into food science, and to eventually expand the program to more universities allowing a larger population of students to participate in this exceptional program. The program mainly serves as a catalyst for the expansion of food science outreach and training for future food scientists at the university level.
The Success so Far . . .
Since 2000, a total of 169 undergraduate students, representing a nationally and internationally diverse student body, have participated in the Summer Scholars Program. Of the 169 alumni, 55% have earned a Master's degree or higher, 24 have earned their PhD, and five have earned medical degrees. Many of the past participants are currently employed at major food companies like General Mills, Nestle, PepsiCo, and Unilever.

Answer: 4. For this simple math problem there is one right answer and an infinite number of wrong answers. You can believe with all your heart that the answer is five. You'd be wrong! Here is another question. What happens when a person dies? Like the math problem, there can only be one true answer. All other answers are false. The Bible says it is appointed once for man to die and then face judgment based on the Ten Commandments. Ever told a lie? Stolen anything? Used God's name as a curse word? That's blasphemy! Hated anyone or called them a fool? Jesus calls hatred murder! Would you be innocent or guilty? Would God send you to heaven or hell? Remember it doesn't matter if you believe in God, heaven and hell, or even these standards. It only matters what is true. The good news is that God does not want you to go to hell. God sent his Son, Jesus, to earth 2,000 years ago. Jesus, being fully God and fully man became the only acceptable sacrifice for sin. He lived a perfect life, fulfilled God's law, died on the cross then rose from the dead. Please visit www.AfterLifeCatalog.com/true/, listen to the message and read the information about Jesus. The Bible says that if you will repent (turn away from sin) and trust Jesus alone, then you will have eternal life. (Mark 1:15, John 3:36)

Special: Bnei Menashe members in India observe Shabbat, dream of moving to Israel

Published: 05.12.12, 17:10 / Israel News

As members of the Bnei Menashe, Harel and Hodaya belong to a community comprising approximately 7,200 people who identify deeply with Judaism and the State of Israel,
observe the commandments of the Torah and long to move to the Jewish state. They all introduce themselves with Jewish names. They view their residence at the "Shavei Israel" center in Aizawl as temporary, until they move to Israel; a move that has been delayed for years but has now seen renewed hope.
All of the Bnei Menashe in India hope that it will not be long before they can move to the Jewish state. Azriel Hamar (44), married to Maayan and father of two, served in a senior position in the educational system of Mizoram and later opened a successful human resources company. He sold it four years ago because he thought that he was soon moving to Israel. His living room is almost empty – he even sold his furniture. "I know that great efforts are being made to renew our Aliyah," he said. "There are strong rumors that there has been a recent breakthrough and I deeply hope that this time we will not be disappointed."
In 1989, the first few individual Bnei Menashe began arriving in Israel. Subsequently they started to arrive in groups. From 1989 to 2007, about 1,700 Bnei Menashe moved to the Jewish state. All of them underwent formal conversion and were recognized as new immigrants. Their absorption was considered very successful. The largest concentrations of the Bnei Menashe are in Kiryat Arba, Jerusalem, Maalot and Sderot. In 2007, their Aliyah was halted because of a variety of political reasons.
The ceremony opened with the raising of the Israeli flag and the recitation of Israel's national anthem "Hatikva," which they sang in perfect Hebrew. Two female choirs sang chapters from Psalms. The Herzliya troupe from Manipur performed a rhythmic and rousing dance to lyrics such as "the children of Israel are passing through the Red Sea." Another troupe performed an enrapturing performance of the Hebrew song, "Our Father still lives."

Evidence In Education: A Look to the Future
3 Comments | Print | NO PDF | Share
The following is an excerpt from What Lies Ahead for America's Children and Their Schools, a new book edited by Chester E. Finn, Jr. and Richard Sousa for Hoover Institution Press. This excerpt comes from a chapter called "Relying on Evidence" by Grover J. "Russ" Whitehurst.
The transformation of education from a field based on intuition, historical practice, and fad and fancy to a field based on evidence has been thwarted until recently by an inadequate supply of rigorous and relevant research. The supply side of evidence-based education has advanced rapidly in the last decade. But demand is still weak.
The essential question for those interested in the advance of evidence-based education is whether demand is weak because there is something wrong with the research that is being provided or because there is something about the way the field of education is organized that suppresses the market for evidence-based approaches. The problem lies in both areas.
The research and development enterprise in education needs to invest more deeply and systematically in process innovations that will serve the practical needs of school districts and schools. We are unlikely to get dramatically better at educating students until we have a cadre of researchers whose job is to engineer more efficient and effective processes for carrying out the work of schools. Education has an increasingly strong research community, but it lacks more than a few people trained and employed to improve the workaday processes of delivering education through systematic experimentation.
If Harrah's intends to increase the number of its mid-week customers from Southern California through the mailing of a discount offer, the person responsible for designing the solicitation will lose his job if there isn't a control group. If Google wants to find the display size for search results that generates the most click-throughs on smart phones, it will systematically vary that parameter across different randomly selected groups of users. It has employees and contractors to design the intervention and analyze the results. Its business success depends on finding the best answer.
In contrast, if a large school district wants to redesign its processes for recruiting new teachers by changing when applications are due and offers of employment are made, it would be exceedingly rare if it either had anyone on staff or could find anyone in a local university who would be interested and able to carry out an experiment on the issue. The education research community, which is predominantly comprised of academics, is not interested in such atheoretical, small-bore questions. But these are the types of issues that education administrators address, whereas broad questions of education policy seldom are within their bailiwick. And because the managers of schools and school districts have rarely if ever been supplied with research that directly addresses the decisions they have to make, they have not had the opportunity to develop an appetite for evidence-based education.
Those who have responsibility for the supply of education research, including universities and funding agencies, need to create a pipeline that is primed with practical research of immediate relevance to everyday education decisions. This will require not only a redirection of the goal of much education research but also much better access by the research community to the administrative data at the state, district, and school level on which the research would draw. It will also require a new channel of federal funding for short-term projects that are of immediate practical significance and that can be reviewed and funded within a few months. This is in contrast to the current modus operandi in which applications for research grants can take a year or more to make their way through the review system and are typically for multiyear projects.
Whether a supply of immediately practical research findings will increase demand for evidence-based education is an empirical question. I expect it would be useful but that its impact would be muted by the same factors that suppress that uptake of evidence that already exists on the impact of broader policies and programs.
The reason that businesses such as Google, Harrah's, and CapitalOne have an appetite for evidence of what works is that avoidable errors in their business decisions go directly to their bottom line, for which managers at many levels and the CEOs are accountable. Google needs to figure out how to maintain its search dominance on mobile devices or others will take its market share. There are lots of casinos in Las Vegas. Harrah's success depends on competing successfully for customers. And so on.
Education, in contrast, is by and large a public monopoly. A recruitment process for new teachers that is much less effective than it might be does not result in the school district losing students or revenue, at least not within a time span or through a series of events that would make the connection discernible. A truly dysfunctional management process may call attention to itself and the administrator responsible for it, but there is no incentive built into the system to experiment with improvements in processes that seem to be OK.
The most powerful way to incentivize evidence-based decision-making in education would be a system of delivery in which schools compete for students and their funding and in which the jobs and compensation of school employees and managers are conditional on their success in attracting and retaining students. Until errors in decision-making have palpable consequences for those responsible for those decisions, the demand for evidence that will enable better decisions will be weak.
In short, the education research community needs to prime the pump of evidence-based education with a supply of research findings that are of immediate relevance to workaday decision-making, e.g., recruiting tools that enhance the effectiveness of the workforce; ways to increase the productivity of the central office; and differences in the impact of available curriculum materials for particular types of teachers and students. If this is to have more than marginal impact, it will need to be accompanied by a redesign of the delivery of education services such that schools and those who work in them are subject to market forces.
The nation can no longer tolerate vast differences in the quality of its schools and classrooms. Residential geography and quirks of school choice and classroom assignment cannot continue to define the education destiny of individual students. We need for all of our schools to be good enough to do the job that is expected of them. This will require nothing less than a relentless effort to engineer processes that assure the best possible outcomes and that result in continuous improvement. Much of this work will be down in the weeds and the results of any single effort will be incremental. Examined within a short time frame, those results may not look like they are going very far. But it is the accumulation and progression of those incremental improvements that will ultimately be transformational for student achievement and the nation's future.
Evidence-based education has shown progress over the last decade that seemed unimaginable twenty years ago. A foundation is in place for the kind of explosive growth in knowledge and application of what works that has been seen in other fields. Improvements in the relevance of the supply of research and the incentives for educators to make the best possible decisions are the necessary ingredients for the next stage of the reform of our education system.

Comment on this article
The divide between university research and craft knowledge developed by practitioners also contributes to the problem you eloquently describe in this article. Practical knowledge is not valued within the university research community. AERA is something that most principals and teachers don't know about and it is not an arena where they would not be welcome. Practitioners are developing insights and solutions daily but often lack the time, not the ability, to communicate and publish. Universities have professors who have the time and the ability but they do not experience the day to day contextual pressures that school personnel face. If we could rotate each group into the other's context for a year, we might see more practical research. @jdauria
It would be lovely if schools would use evidence to improve student learning. But I think that you have completely missed why schools do not currently use evidence to inform practice.
You assert that the reason that schools have not used evidence is because there is "an inadequate supply of rigorous and relevant research." This is completely false.
Schools do not use evidence because school administrators, curricula directors and teachers do not believe that evidence matters. For the most part, educators believe other factors (relevance, interest, social dynamics, familiarity, sales presentations, etc…) are tremendously more important than evidence of effectiveness. And for the most part, parents agree and support this perspective.
In the private school world, evidence of effectiveness is not a selling point. Private schools (that do compete with each other for students) sell their programs based upon a multitude of factors (class size, arts, sports, extracurricular, exclusivity, location, facilities, etc.). Evidence is not one of these factors. So if the private schools do not sell themselves based on evidence, why would public schools use this topic as a selling point?
Instead of using the competition in commerce (Google, Harrah's et al.), a better model for improving education may come from the medical fields.
In the early 20th century, health care went from "a field based on intuition, historical practice, and fad and fancy to a field based on evidence" (to quote your description of education, as it exists today).
So why did medical practice change (to produce an outstanding health care system), when education persists in mediocrity?
The single most important factor in improving (and continuing to improve) health care was/is the regulation of therapies by the FDA. The FDA requires therapeutic companies to demonstrate effectiveness before their products can be sold. The FDA does not generate the research; the companies generate that evidence. The FDA then evaluates their research to determine if the products are statistically better than the current standard of care. This product evaluation process has been essential for the continual improvements in health care.
To translate this approach to education: States would insist that publishing companies demonstrate evidence of effectiveness before their products (textbooks, workbooks, teacher's manuals, professional development, etc…) could be bought by schools with public monies.
While we may both agree that schools should use evidence to inform their practice, the educators that run our schools emphatically do not. So even if academic research generates volumes of data, educators will never use those findings unless they value that information, which currently they do not.
Re: " it lacks more than a few people trained and employed to improve the workaday processes of delivering education through systematic experimentation."
What field of study would provide for people trained to improve the workaday processes of delivering education beyond the research itself?

How was this guy only a **. I dont remember a guy coming into his freshman season that has the confidence that Wesley does. He is playing like an upper classman right now and I just love watchin this guy play. If he can put on 20 lbs, he can be all Big XII next year.
Just one of those diamonds in the rough. I agree, he's going to be something special very soon.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
Shows ya how accurate those rating systems are.
I think his rating is due to the fact that he basically took a year off (because his prep school either closed or dropped basketball, can't remember which), and he fell off the "radar". But he's definitely a gem.
His prep school closed down in the middle of the season last year so he wasn't heavily recruited. Luckily one of GMac's assistants saw him and once they went to ISU he was a guy they immediately targeted from what I have read. Good thing for us!
There certainly is some value to these ratings of HS athletes but it is not an exact science for a number of reasons:
-It is subjective!
-Some of these rating gurus do not even see the kids they rate actually play. This is especially true if a kid doesn't go to certain camps or certain AAU tournaments.
-Often there is a certain "self-fulfilling prophecy" element to the rating. So if Duke is recruiting him then he must be really good...even if we didn't think he was that good when we saw him play at the camp last summer.
-Some kids mature later...not everyone is like Lebron James or Greg Oden and looks 35 their senior year in HS.
-Some kids don't have to try that hard to have success in HS and when they get to college they are able to elevate their game to match the level of play.
Frankly, I think these rating services do a great job in identifying the very best prospects...but how tough is it to see that James or Oden is great. Once you get past the very elite recruits...then it is somewhat of a "crapshoot".
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
The thing about rankings is, most services agree on who the top 100 or so are. The four and five star rated kids are pretty highly thought of and they are generally regarded as the best by everybody. After that it becomes something of a crapshoot, and that's where we need to excell in recruiting to get to the level we want. I think we have two great prospects in Staiger and Garrett coming in that could be 4 star players, and couple that with Brackins... well you get the idea. Good things for ISU in the future.

Any thoughts on the Sony Bravia KDL-46W3000 LCD series?
Here's a link.
KDL-46W3000 | 46" BRAVIA® W series LCD Flat Panel HDTV | Sony | SonyStyle USA
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?
Looks nice...
So I was going to suggest you get a sxrd, but I guess they are not made anymore. I love my tv, and it is so much cheaper than an LCD or Plasma... I guess no one wants a projection TV anymore.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
Get the 52", you know you want to!
Check the American ad on Sunday, it's often on sale (46" or 52"). Usually cheaper than Best Buy, and occaisionally has a special offer. I got mine with a free Blu-Ray player. You'll probably find it cheaper at amazon.com, if you're patient enough to wait for it (I wasn't).
But, to answer your question, the Bravia W series is an EXCELLENT tv, no matter what size you get!
I have the 40W3000 and I recommend it. Shop around. I checked all of the big box stores and online and found the best deal at Sears of all places (other than a couple of websites of which I had not heard). Even Sears and Best Buy will negotiate if you know what the competition is offering. Able to get $250 off their price ($150 for their sale + $100 haggle by mentioning Dell's offer).

The season is not over for the Enterprise Hornets varsity football team.
There were moments of nervousness as they waited for the announcement, and there were explosions of excitement Sunday when they found out.
"This whole week the anxiety was really high," said senior quarterback Bobby Luken. "I was glued to my phone. Can't go to the grocery store without someone asking you if you got in or not."
After winning the section title game, Enterprise has been selected to participate in the 2013 CIF State Regional Football Championship Bowl Games presented by Farmers.
It is a rare, historical accomplishment. Only three CIF Northern Section teams have made it this far in the postseason.
"Our mentality was, you know, if we win and go 12-0 and win the section championship and we don't make the bowl bid we're not going to apologize for that," said senior running back Jace O'Ravez.
The decision was announced Sunday by the athletic commissioners at the CIF Regional Football Selection Sunday Meeting.
An announcement on social media was all it took to make the Hornets go crazy.
"The second I started seeing them, I saw the tweet," said junior running back Isaiah Matthews. "I screen-shot it and sent it out to all my family, posted it on Instagram, re-tweeted it on Twitter. It was a fantastic thing. I was freaking out."
In Division-II, Enterprise (12-0) will face the Manteca High Buffaloes Saturday, Dec. 14 at Lincoln High School in Stockton. The Hornets finished off an undefeated regular season by winning the CIF Northern Section Division-I title Nov. 30. They rolled over Paradise High School, 40-14.
This game will be a challenge against a Manteca team from a more widely-respected section (Sac-Joaquin). According to Enterprise head coach Darren Trueblood, it is a constant battle.
"Well, I think from time to time the coaches up in this area do feel like we [as a section] get disrespected," said Trueblood. "Now, we may not be top to bottom, and we may not have 7 or 8 teams that can compete at that level, but year in and year out we have a team or two in the divisions that can compete."
The players appear to agree.
"I feel like we honestly don't get enough credit up here," said Matthews. "I feel like we have fantastic athletes up here but because we're the [Northern] Section - we're not the bay area teams or down south - we don't get credit up here. I think it's really going to be a statement game to get us some rep up here."
Regardless of respect, the teams will settle it on the field. For seniors like Luken and O'Ravez it is one more chance for gridiron glory.
"It's funny because last year after we won there's a bunch of tears, bunch of, 'this was great and thank you so much,'" said O'Ravez. "This year there's no tears, but celebration. I think walking through the line the thing that I heard the most is, 'we've got a couple more. We're not done.'"
It is an understanding that a junior like Matthews can fully grasp.
"This is just another step closer to the ultimate way to send off our seniors and that's a state championship," said Matthews.
In Division-III, West Valley High School (12-1) was left out of the bowl game picture. Many reports had the Eagles getting a possible bowl berth based on their 2013 regular and postseason performance. West Valley won the CIF Northern Section Division-II championship by beating their Valley Bowl rivals, Central Valley High School, in a 56-28 rout. The Eagles only defeat of the season was a 28-3 loss to Enterprise.
According to the Northern Section CIF website, all bowl games will be played at 7:30 p.m.

Real Life Rock Top Ten
1-4) Lady J on KALX-FM (Berkeley, August 18) Mondays 9 to noon is Lady J's shift at the same college station that figures in Jonathan Lethem's new novel, The Fortress of Solitude; this morning, she outdid herself. There was the Delmonas' blitheringly happy version of the Premiers' 1964 "Farmer John"--covered by Neil Young on Ragged Glory in 1990, but not before this all-female mid-'80s U.K. outfit got their hands on it. You can imagine the Slits at the mic and the crowd on Johnny Rivers's "Secret Agent Man" as the audience, the singer telling Farmer John she's in love with his daughter, the women in front of the stage holding their breath for the chance to scream "wheee!" for every "the way she walks," not to mention every "the way she talks." Then the Larks' "Honey from the Bee," gussied-up doo-wop from 1955, and the Aaron Sisters' weird 1932 "She Came Rollin' Down the Mountain," from Flowers in the Wildwood: Women in Early Country Music, 1923-1939. Singing unaccompanied, with farm-girl accents so sharp you could hitch it up behind a mule and plow with it, the Aaron Sisters offer the tale of Nancy Brown, who throws over one suitor after another until she finds the man she's been waiting for: "A city slicker with hundred dollar bills." They live happily ever after, but Anny Celsi doesn't, not on Lady J's choice "'Twas Her Hunger Brought Me Down," a song inspired by Dreiser's Sister Carrie and released this year on Little Black Dress & Other Stories. Celsi is Hurstwood, narrating his own downfall; the singing is just past ordinary. The backing, except for a few archaic passages from a banjo, is perfunctory. The music is all in Celsi's writing, which is direct, killing--"I took twenty thousand dollars/Where it went I can't explain/I'd be richer if I'd thrown it from the train"--needing no ornamentation and getting none. What the DJ offered was her taste, a reach for oddity, a faith that each song would somehow sing every other.
5) Sinéad O'Connor, "Big Bunch of Junkie Lies," from She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty (Vanguard) This surfaces from a two-disc set ("rare and unreleased" plus a 2002 concert) like a corpse in a mountain lake. The clear-voiced sainted victim ruling the music is replaced by an avenger, the snarling rocker O'Connor has almost always tried to hide, and the performance is devastating, a curse in the form of a prayer. She breathes out the words slowly in front of an acoustic guitar; the blows land when a single word is sung full-throated, followed immediately by a dead drop to a bone-dry whisper. "You sucked the life out of my true friend," O'Connor says, but the truth of the song is that she knows the man she's singing to couldn't care less.
6) Graham Roumieu, In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot (Manic D Press) This unassuming rant would be hilarious even without the primitive Ralph Steadman-like drawings, and the guts of the story aren't found in Bigfoot's tale of how he abandoned his career as a junk bond trader to form a Seattle grunge band, or what he thinks of Sam Donaldson ("Me like man's hair. Me take him hair and eat man"). They're in the prosaic: "What happen world me ask? Me once believe in good. Now, no. World go shit."
7) The Kills, Fried My Little Brains (Rough Trade EP) Their own "Jewel Thief" ought to work as an answer to the last cut, a cover of Dock Boggs's deathly 1927 "Sugar Baby." But "Jewel Thief" is all attitude, and "Sugar Baby" is a drone. The singers keep their bodies away from the words coming out of their mouths, a fatal abstraction.
8) The Cutters, "(Back in the) 20th Century," from In the Valley of Enchantment (Blackjack) From Humboldt County, California, best known for marijuana plantations in national forests, guitarist Mike Wilson, drummer Ray Johnson, and bassist Tad Sutera use London punk inflections on Angela Brown's American voice for a message no different from that of their neighbor Bigfoot. It's pissed off, it's funny, it's sharp (Brown drops comments on her own lines like Johnny Rotten muttering to Clio), it's alive to its own momentum (the last "No!" following "Nancy Reagan just said" nearly pulls Nancy's size two over her head). As a song about exile in your own hometown, not to mention your own country, or your own century, it can be a stone in your shoe.
9) Sarah Vowell writes in from the blackout (New York, August 15) "I went for a walk in the dark last night for a little, marveling at the stars. Walked past people on a stoop blaring 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' on a boombox and everyone was giddy, singing along: 'With the lights off, it's less dangerous, here we are now, entertain us.'"
10) Christian Marclay, catalogue organized by Russell Ferguson (UCLA Hammer Museum/Steidl, for an exhibition closing at the Hammer August 30, at Bard College September 28 through December 19, at the Seattle Art Museum February 5 through May 2, 2004) Marclay is an American with European avant-garde credits, a pioneering turntablist (his 1983 Phonoguitar allowed him to scratch a vinyl LP while performing guitar-hero gestures), an irrepressible investigator of the record as talisman (with countless cut up and reconfigured discs, album covers, sculptures made of melted or chopped vinyl albums and singles), a social critic (his 2000 video Guitar Drag is a complex and visceral version of the 1998 dragging murder of James Byrd in Jasper County, Texas), and a prankster with a bottomless appetite for trash: As for so many art punks, "Batman Theme" was his ground zero. His work doesn't come off the pages of a catalogue: You have to go where it is and look at it, listen to it, laugh at it, let it laugh at you. Still, there is one stunner here, in sound historian Douglas Kahn's essay "Surround Sound," regarding the 1930s experiments of neurologist Wilder Penfield, "the first bio-turntablist": "When Penfield lowered [a] wire instead of a stylus onto the grooves of... one patient's exposed brain, the patient, still conscious and alert, was convinced that there was a gramophone playing in the operating room." "Everybody grew up listening to all this stuff," Marclay responds, "and all this music is, in a way, already sampled in our heads."

I've been programming since I was about 17, admittedly I wasn't the strongest programmer at the time but I've buckled down and now I'm comfortably completing assignments in my 3rd year of University. I was in a Computer Games Programming course but promptly switched to the generic Information Technology course with a heavy emphasis on programming once I realised the course I was on is one of the lowest rated in the country. I wanted to keep my options open and not down the games programming route (Besides I have XNA to do that in my free time).
I was thinking to myself what I would actually do once I complete my degree, I'm heavily based towards the C# programming language and have spent a great deal of time using Windows Forms and Console Applications however I do have some experience with C and C++.
I am just curious to hear other peoples opinions on the best way to get a graduate job for someone who isn't exactly "overly confident" with his own skills. I have been looking into a few start up companies and also a few graduate jobs at Microsoft etc.. but i don't want to get in too over my head.
Also at a time of global recession I assumed companies would rather invest in somebody who has strong confidence and can get the job done with some background experience as opposed to a graduate fresh out of University. I'm in Derby at the moment and I have been for 21 years (Since I was born), i'll be moving to Manchester when I graduate so hopefully there will be many more opportunities for me there as it is a much bigger city as opposed to Derby.
Sorry if this is repeated somewhere else, I did search but didn't seem to find anything matching my question.
Can anybody recommend some respected C# text books, I have several already (Such as C# 3.0 Unleashed!) but I always find one book has something another doesn't.
Note: Thankyou for re-opening, i'd like to get as much input as possible. This questions is programming related and not an exact duplicate.

With fall approaching I'm again looking for rain pants that fit. I weigh about 200lbs currently and have wide hips so I decided to post this in the clydesdale forum first. I should mention that I live in Portland so in the winter I have to deal with the threat of rain nearly every day.
Any rain pants pants that fit over my butt are way way too long, leaving tons of loose fabric to get caught in my chainrings. Any rain pants that are the right length do not fit over my butt (and whatever pants I hope to keep dry). Currently I wear size 36 waist and 30 or 32 inseam pants.
For example, the IllumiNITE rain pants list a Large as 34-36 waist: too small. The XL fits waist size 37-40 but the inseam on those is 34-35! I'd have to pull those things up to my armpits to avoid the fabric near my right ankle getting all ripped up. This seems to be the norm for rain pants. I've tried on maybe 15 pair at various cycling and sporting good stores and they all seem the same.
In past years I've managed to keep a few pairs of rain pants from being ripped for a short while by folding them up and using multiple velcro 'pantleg protector thingies'. That only works for so long, once they get caught and ripped once, they become harder to keep under control. Last year I gave up and refused to buy a pants that didn't fit. Instead, if there was a good chance of being rained on I just wore winter cycling tights for my commute and changed when I got to work. This worked great when it was actually raining but I need a solution that allows me to ride in my normal clothes when it isn't raining, and if I get caught in the rain I can stop and throw on some rain pants. I tried to fit my tights over my jeans but it didn't work out very well. :D
So... Does anyone have any suggestions for pants that might actually fit me? Am I the only one with this problem? Any 'outside the box' solutions?

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Since they have equal custody then she can not take the child unless your husband agrees and she is willing to pay the costs of the child traveling to and from her home for the ordered custodial time he is entitled to. He can answer in a few different ways:
You can find a mediator HERE and could state in your answer that he wishes to use this service to explore their options on the matter if they can not come to an agreement on their own; for more help go HERE. If there is already a COURT ordered custody agreement, then the court will have to agree to any change in that agreement of they are in danger of custodial interference (kidnapping) laws if the order is not followed by both parties as well as it possibly backfiring on him later and her making false accusations to a court just to get custody.
So, basically he will simply state whether he agrees or objects to this notice and its contents and whether he wished to discuss it further in mediation or wait for a court to decide.

I have been looking around the web & have some basic wireless modem questions:
If I have a droid phone that has an unlimited data package, is there a way to connect it to my laptop for the laptop to connect to the web? Without additional fees? (verizon)
The wireless modem usage charts don't appear to address IM & face-book like usage - how does this stuff eat data compared to regular surfing, e-mails, or gaming?
And, if a cell phone works in an area, will a wireless broadband lap top USB thing work, or does one have to be near a wireless hot spot for that to work?
I counting on you, foosters, to not confuse me with C-Net-like jargon!!

Be Happier: Give More This Holiday Season
As H. Jackson Brown, Jr. once said, "Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more." And it is our hope that this holiday season will find some of the happiest people yet.
Addressing end-of-year health plan issues
With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it is easy to get overwhelmed and over-scheduled during December. However, if you oversee your company's health benefit plan, in between holiday shopping and celebrating, make sure you find time to address the following end-of-year issues applicable to health plans:
7 Tips to Help You Win the Battle of the Bulge this Holiday Season
The average American gains about a pound each year during the holidays, and few lose it. Doesn't sound like much until you consider the average weight gain for a year is 1-2 pounds which means that half or more of a years worth of weight gain occurs in this 6-week (Thanksgiving to New Years) holiday season.
Casual Friday Takes on a Whole New Meaning: Happy Halloween
On Friday, October 31, our employees dusted off (or kept the dust for effect) their favorite costumes and celebrated Halloween at our Salt Lake and Boise offices.
The 101 Building
As we approach our 105th year in business, we have begun a new chapter in our fifth office space. Tasked with the challenge to design a space that both represents our strong history and our innovative nature, we curated two floors of a new office building—located on 101 South and 200 East—to build on our century-old foundation of business.
Our new building is coming along
It seems like yesterday that we were celebrating our 100 year anniversary. And here we are, just four years later, with some big changes upon us. As many of you know, our Salt Lake office will be moving locations to downtown Salt Lake City. It's been very exciting for all of us to hear about the progress being made on our new building. And we want to share that excitement with all of you.
Here are some recent photos of the construction progress:
Voluntary benefits provide solutions to employee needs
The demand for voluntary benefits is greater than ever. In fact, according to the Metlife 2014 Employee Benefits Trend Study 64 percent of employees are interested in having their employer provide a wider array of voluntary benefits, which is up from 54 percent in the 2013 Study. The trend of employers moving to consumer-driven health plans—with more of the cost being shifted to employees and the impact of the Affordable Care Act—has played a big role in the advancement of voluntary benefits. With all of this going on we're seeing new innovative products being introduced, new providers jumping in, and products already offered being enhanced.
IRS Confirms that Employer Payment Plans Will Not Work
Has your company been told that it can use an "employer payment plan" to provide pre-tax dollars to employees to buy individual health insurance policies in the public health exchanges? And by doing so, this is supposed to allow your company to terminate its health plan? Our clients have passed onto me several examples of such solicitations by so-called "benefit professionals." Such schemes can be enticing, as every human resource/benefits professional would love to eliminate the hassle and work that goes along with maintaining a health plan. Unfortunately, the old saying, "if is sounds too good to be true it probably is," applies here. While some in the benefits community continue to peddle the idea of an "employer payment plan" (pretax payments to employees to cover the cost of individual health insurance policies), the reality is that under IRS rules, an employer cannot provide employees with pre-tax dollars to buy individual coverage.
What's In A Name?
In our world, we name things. We name streets, and towns, people, pets, boats, and buildings, among others. We not only do this so we know what to call things, but we also do this to assign meaning. These names, depending on history can evoke memories, feelings, even endearment.

Reading Food Labels
Foods that are in packaging or containers will often have a Nutrition Facts panel on its side or back. The Nutrition Facts panel provides the nutritional value of the food. This information is helpful when determining healthy food choices. By reading food labels, you will find out the serving size of a food and how many servings the package has. You will also find information about the calorie and fat content, as well as the amount of carbohydrate, and vitamins and minerals. Food labels are a great reference for you to use to learn about the food you are eating.
Serving Size: The serving size is an amount of food and is often listed in cups, weight, or units. All of the nutrition information about the food is listed according to the serving size. If you double the serving size, you must double the amounts on the label.
Servings per Container or Package: The number of servings in the container is listed here.
Calories: The number of calories in one serving is listed here. Everyone needs a different amount of calories each day. Having calories listed on the label is helpful information for people who would like to keep track of the number of calories they eat to stay at a healthy weight.
Calories from Fat: The number of calories that come from fat in one serving are listed here.
Percent Daily Value: The food label helps you know if you are getting the amounts of nutrients you need each day by the percent daily value. It tells you how much of your daily values of each nutrient are provided by one serving of the food. The percent daily value is based on a 2000 calorie diet. You may need more or less than 2000 calories each day.
Total Fat: The total amount of fat in one serving is listed here. The number is shown in grams (g). This information is important for people who want to keep track of the amount of fat in their diet. Foods with high amounts of fat usually have higher calories and may lead to weight gain.
Saturated Fat: The amount of saturated fat in one serving is listed here. It is also shown in grams. Saturated fat is one type of fat that is found in food. It increases the amount of blood cholesterol more than other types of fat found in food. So saturated fat should be limited in the diet to less than 7 percent of total calories each day for most people. This means that if a person eats 2000 calories each day, they should eat less than 140 calories from saturated fat.
Trans Fat: The amount of trans fat in one serving is listed here. It is also shown in grams. Trans fat is another type of fat that is found in food. It should also be limited to less than 2 grams per day because it increases blood cholesterol.
Cholesterol: The amount of cholesterol in one serving is listed here. It is shown in milligrams (mg). Cholesterol should be limited to no more than 200 mg each day.
Sodium: The amount of sodium in one serving is listed here. It is shown in milligrams. American Heart Association recommends that sodium should be limited to <1500mg/day. This recommended level of sodium was recently lowered from 2400mg/day.
Total Carbohydrate: The amount of carbohydrate in one serving is listed here. It is shown in grams. This information is important for people with diabetes because they need to manage the amount of carbohydrate they eat. Carbohydrate changes the amount of glucose or sugar in the blood and diabetics do not want that amount to be too high or too low.
Dietary Fiber: The amount of dietary fiber in one serving is listed here. It is shown in grams. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate. Most people should eat 25 grams of dietary fiber each day.
Sugars: The amount of sugar in one serving is listed here. It is shown in grams. Sugars are also a type of carbohydrate. This value includes both naturally occurring sugars from fruit and milk and added sugars such as honey or table sugar.
Protein: The amount of protein in one serving is listed here. It is shown in grams.
Vitamins and Minerals: Food labels list vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron. They are all shown as a percent of the daily need one serving of the food provides. For example, if 15% is listed next to iron it means that one serving of that food will give you 15% of the total amount of iron you need for one day.
Calories per Gram: Some food labels will list the number of calories that are in each gram or protein, carbohydrate and fat. Protein has four calories per gram, carbohydrate has four calories per gram, and fat has 9 calories per gram.
Ingredients: Food labels will list each ingredient in the food. The first ingredient listed is the ingredient that the food has the most of. The ingredients are listed in the order of their amount from highest to lowest.
Contains: Food labels may also include this portion of the label as a food allergen warning. Listed here are ingredients that can cause allergies in some people. Examples of ingredients that are listed are wheat, dairy, eggs, soy and nuts. If a person knows that are allergic to one of these ingredients they will know not to eat the food in the container.

By this point in the careers of the Coen brothers, they have an embarrassment of past talent to draw upon for the next films. And for their upcoming "Hail Caesar," they've tapped two leading men who have been part of some of their most successful films to date.
Josh Brolin ("No Country For Old Men," "True Grit") has joined the previously reported George Clooney ("O Brother, Where Art Thou?," "Intolerable Cruelty," "Burn After Reading") in the siblings' next film, "Hail Caesar." Even more, Universal has swooped in to distribute the film, a long develping project that focuses on a fixer in the 1950s who works for Hollywood studios to protect their stars.
It'll be the first time Brolin and Clooney have paired up for a feature film (though they both appeared in the 2012 doc "Radioman") and that it's for a Coens pic is really promising stuff. No word yet on when production will begin, but it looks like Ethan and Joel are getting their ducks in a row to get going soon. [Variety]
