Great phone for the price
bdlacy has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
Stepped up to the One V from the Merge, primarily for Ice Cream Sandwich. Has one little quirk, if you don't run the battery completely down, it will only charge to 70-80 %, but that actually promotes good practice.Build quality 10/10Reception 9/10Call quality 9/10Internet 9/10Multimedia 9/10Camera 10/10UI speed 9/10Everyday usage 9/10Text input 9/10Display 10/10Battery 8/10

Milone looking like Millions highlights this week's Week That Was.
Timeout for a shameless piece of self-promotion: Don't forget to tune in to hear Rick Wolf and me on Colton and the Wolfman on SiriusXM fantasy sports radio Tuesday nights from 8-11pm eastern time. It's a fun three hours of sports, fantasy and goofy humor.
Tommy Milone : Tommy Milone struck out 10 Yankees Friday night and looked impressive doing it. That the pen blew a win for him cannot take away from what the lefty has accomplished in 2012. Milone has a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a K/BB ratio of well over 3:1. While those numbers are good, check out these over the last 6 starts: 41 innings, 5 ER, 36 K, 3 BB. Yes, his strikeout/walk ratio in the last 6 starts is 12:1. Want more proof Milone is a guy to go get? Ok, here it is: during most of the first half Milone succeeded only at home. Of those sweet 6 starts, 3 were on the road. Milone is for real. Go get him now before others figure out he is not just a home start any more. [Note: Smart roto drafters saw that Milone had a 155/16 K:BB ratio in AAA in 2011 and grabbed him cheap. If you were one of those, well played!]
Ben Sheets: Speaking of hot pitchers, Ben Sheets put up another six shutout innings (with 6K) to beat the Nats Saturday. That is now 12 scoreless to start the season. Yes, there is a real risk that he will be bitten by the injury bug yet again, but until he does, why not ride the wave? After all, in his last full season of 2008, he tossed 198 innings of 3.09 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Stated another way, we know he has the talent. With good pitching so hard to come by, this roll of the dice is an easy call. Play the line.
Brett Myers: In proof of why the T in SMART stands for Team, Brett Myers has been traded from Astro closer to White Sox set up guy. For those new to this column, Rick Wolf and I play by the SMART system. The T for Team means that players on better real major league teams should be valued higher -- they get more runs and RBI on the offensive side and more opportunities for wins and saves on the pitching side. More importantly for this blurb, closers on good teams do not get traded in July to become setup guys. The Astros are not good and now Myers is not a closer. Stay SMART!
Gavin Floyd: In more good news for the south siders, Gavin Floyd will come off the shelf and take the ball Monday against the Twins. This is an easy call. If you own him, start him. If you don't, try and get him. In the short term, the Twins cannot hit, so this is a tasty matchup for his re-entry into the rotation. Second, Floyd has been reliably solid albeit not spectacular over the last three years. His three year averages are: 4.19 ERA; 1.25 WHIP; 155K/54BB. If you are in a 10 team mixed league, you probably can do better. However, if you are in a 15 team mixed or an AL-only, this is exactly the type of solid starter you need to lengthen your rotation. Buy.
Johan Santana: What many predicted after the 130+ pitch no-hitter has come to pass. Johan Santana landed on the 15-day disabled list. However, the lengthy history making performance is not likely to blame for the injury -- a sprained right ankle is. Not so fast. While the no-no did not likely cause the ankle injury, astute roto owners probably have noticed that since the no-no, Santana has been, well, bad. Over his last three outings, he has been downright awful: 12.6 innings, 28 hits, 19 earned runs. Yuck. Bottom line, Santana's comeback has been impressive. His no-hitter was a shining moment of the 2012 season and of the Mets 50 year history. However, when we take emotion out of it, we see an aging pitcher who has not pitched in two years and thus we see a pitcher who quite predictably is sliding south in the second half. Sell if you still can.
Jonathan Sanchez: The newest Rockie, Jonathan Sanchez, will take the hill for his new team Monday against the Diamondbacks. Only if you are truly desperate will you risk rostering and starting Sanchez. In KC, not nearly a hitter haven like Colorado, Sanchez was 1-6 with a putrid 7.76 ERA and a hideously ugly 44BB against just 36K. Yes, Sanchez is young enough and has a live enough arm to bounce back from the nightmare of the last year and a half. Yes, just two years ago in 2010 he posted a 3.08 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 205 K. So, if you want to stash him on reserve and hope, go ahead. He is simply too flammable to store on your active roster. [Note -- I cannot resist and I apologize in advance but I have to ask: do you think the MVP caliber Melky for the cut in three months Sanchez will go down in the annals of baseball history as one of the worst deals ever?].
Justin Upton: Justin Upton is one of the biggest questions of the second half and many a fantasy title will be won or lost depending on whether the real Justin Upton shows up. Friday, he did. Upton went yard and knocked in 3. J-UP has hit in six straight, so there is reason for optimism. If you find yourself in second or third place and need to take a chance to scale the mountain, a great talent like Justin Upton is a pretty good place to do it. For what it is worth, my gut says he has a strong second half. The nonsense about trades will end and he will settle in for the last two months and produce. Buy!
B.J. Upton: Sticking with the Uptons, J-Up's brother B.J. also went yard Friday (and added a swipe). The numbers thus far are uninspiring: .252 with nine homers, 36 RBI and 16 steals on the season. However, he was hurt at the beginning of the year. Now, he is hitting leadoff where he can use his speed and has responded. In just the last two nights, he is 5-11 with 5 RBI. Yes, I know he is frustrating to own. However, his downside is 20 HR, 40 SB numbers. His upside is just sick. He is playing for a contract and this is where he puts the pedal to the metal. I believe.
Brett Gardner: In move that seemed more and more likely as time went on, the Yankees announced this week that Brett Gardner's season is over. He will have elbow surgery next week. There are roto effects of this move big and small. First, I predict the Yankees will go out and get a speedy, small ball, good fielding OF. Thus, those in AL-only leagues should look out for a good place to park their FAAB (like maybe Shane Victorino?). Second, until a new player arrives, Eric Chavez and Jayson Nix will continue to get real time (one against RHP and one against LHP) and have value in AL-only leagues. Third, and this is more of a gripe than a real piece of analysis -- many leagues require players to be out for the year before they can reclaim the salary and convert it to FAAB. Many of those leagues also require that this reclaim happen before the All-Star break. Because the Gardner announcement came this late, his owners are out of luck.
Josh Beckett: Josh Beckett continues to confound. He really has become the girl with the curl. When he is good, he is really good (you get the point). Friday, Beckett was not good, giving up four runs on seven hits over his six innings. With his next outing coming in Texas, there is reason for concern. Bottom line -- for those in 10 or 12 team mixed leagues, he is a streaming spot start only. For those in AL only deep leagues, his 4.53, 1.25 is enough good to make it worth enduring the ugly outings. [Full disclosure, even though I am a diehard Yankee fan, I am a Beckett fan too. I have watched him pitch games where he looks like the best there is. So, Rick Wolf and I will stick with him in Tout Wars. Just so you know]
And last and but not least, this from the Baron of the Bottom of the Page -- Schultz says: "The headline that scrolled across the bottom of ESPN was arguably one of the least informative in the network's history: "Bartolo Colon traded to the Expos for Lee Stevens and three minor leaguers." As everyone likely knows by now, those three minor leaguers were Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips and Cliff Lee. A supposedly laughable trade turned out to be one the shrewdest of the decade. With this year's trading deadline looming on the horizon, there are going to be a handful of trades in which well-known names like Ryan Dempster, Zack Greinke and Matt Garza may change teams in exchange for players whose names make the majority of onlookers go "huh." Skilled roto-owners though take note - those minor leaguers tend to evolve into fine major leaguers a year or two down the road.
Just this winter, Mat Latos went from San Diego to Cincinnati for a package of players that included Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal. While Alonso wasn't exactly an unknown, Grandal was mostly known to minor league junkies and uber-roto-geeks. The 23-year-old catcher has hit 5 home runs in his first 60 at bats and seems poised to become one of the elite roto-catchers sooner rather than later. While A.J. Cole and Brad Peacock have yet to make an impression, Tommy Milone, one of the other players the Nationals traded for Gio Gonzalez, has become an above-average starter that hardly walks a soul and just last night fanned 10 Yankees (savvy roto-owners have learned it's better to start Milone at home than on the road). The A's also don't need Colin Cowgill to become a star as Jarrod Parker alone seems to make their Trevor Cahill one a success.
Not every deadline deal reaps a Jeff Bagwell or John Smoltz in return for Larry Anderson or Doyle Alexander. Jason Knapp, the centerpiece of the Indians/Phillies trade for Cliff Lee, has had more shoulder surgeries (2) than major league games (0) and the Tribe's haul from the CC Sabathia trade may be remembered as Michael Brantley and not Matt LaPorta.
As superstars change uniforms over the next couple week, remember the lesser-known names going in the other direction. It just may give you an edge in winning your 2014 or 2015 roto-championship."
Response: This has been a Schultz mantra for years and for years he has been dead on. Those in keeper and dynasty leagues should pay attention now. Those in redraft leagues should remember to review the late July trades when looking for their diamonds in the rough.

Jay's ALS Challenge Video Is Not Like What You've Been Seeing
I can't tell you how many people I've seen doused with Ice water in the ALS bucket challenge. And, I think for the most part, my Facebook friends (more than half of whom I've never met) get what this is about.
But I have to say, in some of these videos, it's been more "hey look at me while I get a bucket of water on my head" than it is about ALS awareness and, most importantly, donating money for research.
This disease sucks. We have to find a cure.
Please watch this video. And please respond accordingly.

Updated styling and a gracefully raked bow are two of the more evident features of the Krogen 55-foot Expedition, but they're just icing on the cake. Leveraging 30 years' experience in building bluewater passagemakers, Kadey-Krogen has raised the bar, offering a purebred expedition-style trawler of superior accommodation that boasts a cruising range of more than 3,000 NM.
Powered by a pair of conservatively rated 158-hp John Deere diesels, she can achieve that range on just 1,800 gallons of fuel carried in four aluminum tanks below decks. A cockpit hatch leads to the lazarette, where a passageway offers access to the engine room and a separate machinery room. To assure adequate reserve buoyancy, even in the event of hull damage, she has five watertight bulkheads.
Her layout is ideal for a couple with extended-range cruising ambitions. Forward is a spacious master stateroom with a true queen-size berth and three-side access. Two generous hanging lockers provide as much space as you might find in a shore-side apartment. And with two heads (one en suite, the other just aft that doubles as a day head), a cruising couple can have individual spaces for personal needs. Amidships there's an office/ day room that also serves as a stateroom for the occasional guest, thanks to a convertible settee.
The spacious galley boasts a suite of household-size appliances: side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, double-basin sink, four-burner cooktop, trash compactor, and even a dishwasher. Adjoining it is a full-beam saloon with a pair of easy chairs and a cocktail table to port, across from an L-shape settee that converts to a dinette. Just opposite the galley, a cabinet holds a wine cooler and an ice maker.
Long-range voyaging means plenty of time in the pilothouse, and that should be pleasant on the Krogen 55, with her centerline helm station, optional companion/navigator seat, and a raised settee to port. Also available is a built-in desk to starboard, in place of the standard cabinet and refrigerator. Aft on the bridge deck is space for a tender and davit and room to relax and catch some rays underway.

There is a new magazine on the electronic newsstand. It is called o3 magazine and published by Spliced Networks.
The magazine reports on news in the open source world and is distributed as PDF document. The complete magazine is produced using open source tools, namely Open Office for writing articles, Scribus for page layout and Gimp for image production.
I read the recent #9: Open Source Publishing and found it rather unimpressive. The black and white design schema looks rather morbid and the overall layout is not very consistent. My pet peeve is gray text on black background for the table of content. Why make it hard instead of easier for readers to find what is in the magazine?
As to the content, it did not strike me as impressive. One article about publishing images with Gimp, and another one using Scribus, and two articles about OpenOffice, the very same tools that are used in the production of the magazine. The two articles about using OpenOffice are about writing a newsletter and about collaborative writing with the Open Office word processor Writer. Both articles lack a vivid writing style and any usable detail. What I learned from it was "Open Office can do both, collaborative writing and publish a newsletter", no more. I didn't learn anything how particular good OOo is at performing the task or how bad, how I actually do it, what steps to take, what pitfalls to avoid or where the programs limits are. Both articles did not even contain one screenshot to dazzle me with a marvelously appealing result.

AN alcoholic has been banned from Worcester city centre for two years after he was involved in 25 incidents in six months.
Graham Higgins, aged 44, of no fixed abode, cannot enter the area including Angel Street, part of the High Street, the Shambles, Shrub Hill retail park, and St Martin's Quarter, under the terms of his criminal anti-social behaviour order (Crasbo).
On Tuesday, May 6, Worcester Magistrates Court heard how Higgins had been involved in 25 incidents between August 2013 and January 2014 when he came to the attention of the police for being drunk and for causing alarm, harassment and distress to the public.
These included incidents of begging for money, spitting, committing assaults, swearing, and sleeping in doorways.
On one occasion he tried to sleep on a bench in the front counter of Worcester police station in Castle Street and had to be ejected from the building.
PC Paul Wanklyn, of the city centre Safer Neighbourhoods Team, said: "Since January, Higgins has only come to the attention of the police three times.
"Higgins is currently living in Solihull and although it is acknowledged he has improved significantly in the last couple of months, we feel that a CRASBO is still necessary to protect people, should he return to or visit Worcester."
The order also prohibits him from consuming alcohol or being in possession of an open container of alcohol in any place being a designated alcohol free zone, where consumption is prohibited by law.
If Higgins breaches the CRASBO he could face up to five years in jail.
He can only enter the restricted area to attend the Probation Office on Shaw Street or the walk-in medical centre in Farrier Street, with a pre-arranged appointment.
At an earlier hearing in January, the court gave Higgins a six-month conditional discharge for a public order offence, relating to an incident in which he was found asleep in a pedestrianised area and swore when told by police to move on.

Mother as the Supporting Role.
by Meredith O'Brien
While perusing the Christmas movies and specials in my DVD collection while attempting to make a holiday viewing selection for my family recently, I had a realization: In most of the TV Christmas specials and Yuletide-focused films that have become holiday classics, the mothers – when and if they appear on screen – are largely cast as supporting characters, depicted as the helpmates for their husbands or their kids. The biggest exception to this is the single working mom Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara) who ran Macy's Thanksgiving parade from Miracle on 34th Street, to whom I dedicated a loving column a few years ago.
Take my favorite Christmas movie, It's a Wonderful Life, the first DVD I pulled off my shelf. George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) was the focus of the film, with explorations and depictions of his disappointments, his dreams, his good heart, his loyalty, his desperation. His wife, Mary, (Donna Reed) was sharp, had a sense of humor and seemed eminently capable at everything she did. In the film, she never seemed flustered while raising their four kids or remodeling the family home or doing volunteer work. But other than the abrupt end to her night of romance with George, where they danced the Charleston at a graduation party and then flirted beneath the moon on the walk home, Mary was largely relegated to the backburner, only seen in relation to George's life. In the scene where George learned what would've happened to her had he never been born, we learned that Mary would've been *gasp* a single librarian! The horror! (She wouldn't have married Sam Wainwright?) Sure, Mary is a swell gal, but she wasn't really given a lot to do.
The next DVD I put my hands on was my other favorite Christmas movie, Elf, the one with Will Farrell as Buddy the Elf. In that one, Buddy had been given up for adoption and raised by the elves who worked for Santa at the North Pole. When Buddy overheard two elves gossiping about how he'd been adopted – his ginormous size relative to the other elves never clued him in about the fact that he was adopted – Buddy traveled to New York City in search of his birth father. His birth mother had, of course, died. (What's a family movie without a dead mother? No wait, that's usually an animated Disney movie.) His father's wife Emily (Mary Steenburgen) was kind and patient with the uber-naïve and sugar-fueled Buddy, but again, she was just there mostly to blunt the meanness and harsh attitude her husband exhibited toward Buddy. The movie was, after all, about Buddy seeking to reunite with his dad, not his stepmother.

It may not surprise you to learn that Britain's 10 most congested roads are all in the capital - but can you guess which three go through south-west London?
The UK is ranked the sixth worst in Europe for traffic congestion with the average driver wasting around 30 hours a year in gridlock, according to a major annual report.
The annual INRIX traffic scorecard shows congestion is on the increase across Europe for the first time in two years, with major metropolitan areas across Europe showing a rise in traffic.
Traffic congestion was up in nine of the 18 UK cities analysed in the report.
The biggest increase was in London, up by 13 per cent, resulting in the average driver suffering through 82 hours in traffic - 10 more hours than 2012.
Londoners now face the second worst congestion in Europe, wasting approximately 82 hours in 2013, up 10 hours from 2012.
For the first time, the scorecard identifies the worst roads for traffic in the UK, all of which were in London corridoors, with a 14-mile stretch of the A4 near London named UK's worst road - costing drivers approximately 91 hours last year.
TOP TEN UK ROADS FOR TRAFFIC (data provided by Inrix):
1. A4 (London; between central London and the M4)
Distance = 14.2 miles. Delays per year = 91 hours
2. A4 (London; between the M4 and central London)
Distance = 14.7 miles. Delays per year = 73 hours
3. A215 (London; between Camberwell and the Croydon turn off)
Distance = 9.6 miles. Delays per year = 67 hours
4. A217 (London; between St Helier and Chelsea)
Distance = 10.4 miles. Delays per year = 67 hours
5. A1 (London; between Finchley and Barbican)
Distance = 8.3 miles. Delays per year = 66 hours.
6. A23 (London; between Croydon and Westminster Bridge Road)
Distance = 8.6 miles. Delays per year = 63 hours.
7. A205 (London; between Catford and Woolwich Ferry)
Distance = 6.9 miles. Delays per year = 60 hours.
8. A41 (London; between central London and the M1)
Distance = 7.5 miles. Delays per year = 52 hours.
9. A12 (London; between Stratford and the M25)
Distance = 13.6 miles. Delays per year = 50 hours.
10. A406 (London; between Chiswick Roundabout and Neasden Junction)
Distance = 5.9 miles. Delays per year = 48 hours.

Tips to Avoid Home Loan Scams

Fairfax County Consumer Affairs Branch Offers Tips to Avoid Home Loan Scams
As the housing market softens and fewer people are buying homes or refinancing their mortgages, exploitative lenders are using mass mailings to pick up unsuspecting customers, especially older adults, limited-English-proficient consumers and those with poor credit.
Homeowners in the Annandale area of Fairfax County recently received letters claiming that they were entitled to cash up to $46,000 under the Community Reinvestment Act, which is a federal government program. What many people discovered once they read the fine print was that the letter was really a solicitation for a home loan.
Home loan scam letters usually have several defining characteristics:
- The letter is mailed in an envelope that looks like it was sent from someone or another entity that is familiar to the homeowner, such as a government agency.
- The letter tells homeowners that they are entitled to cash because they meet the requirements of a federal government program and may provide a link to a government Web site.
- The letter provides a number to call to claim the cash. It may indicate that the program is available for a limited time and will expire soon.
- There is usually an asterisk at the bottom of the page that indicates the terms and conditions are on the other side.
- On the back page, there will be a section with a lengthy list of terms and conditions in fine print. This is where the lender discloses that they are soliciting homeowners for a loan.
By flooding homeowners' mailboxes with this type of letter, the lender is playing the odds that those who call can be convinced to borrow money based on their home's equity, even when their income is not enough to keep up with the monthly payments.
The Fairfax County Consumer Affairs branch of the Department of Cable Communications and Consumer Protection suggests that residents who receive a letter that fits this profile contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has regulatory oversight concerning consumer credit laws. The FTC can be contacted at 1-877-FTC-Help or www.ftc.gov.
To stop prescreened credit solicitations for mortgages, homeowners can opt out or prevent the consumer credit reporting companies from providing personal information to lenders for marketing campaigns. To opt out, call 1-888-567-8688 or visit www.optoutprescreen.com.
The Consumer Affairs branch encourages homeowners to proceed with caution when they receive unsolicited letters in the mail offering cash that appear to be from a government agency. To prevent a lender from taking unfair advantage of a homeowner's most valuable assets, be alert to the following signs:
- Unsolicited letters that claim you may be entitled to money because you are a homeowner.
- Letters that disclose the terms and conditions of their offer in fine print. This information should be disclosed in a conspicuous and prominent paragraph of the letter.
- Home loan offers received in the mail that were not requested.
- Solicitations that pressure residents to call a number before a designated expiration date.
- Letters that use familiar terms or names of companies that have an established reputation, such as government agencies.
- Letters that use claims, such as "advisory notice," "this is your opportunity," "limited time," or "you may be entitled to cash."
- Lenders that offer a loan based on the equity in the home when the homeowner may not have enough income to make the monthly payments.
Residents are encouraged talk to someone they trust before calling a company they have never done business with. For those in the market for a home loan, they should check out different lenders, compare their rates and research their complaint history with the Fairfax County Consumer Affairs branch and the appropriate regulatory agency.
For more information, contact the Consumer Affairs branch at 703-222-8435, TTY 711, or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/consumer.

The swans may come a-swimming, but Ellen has something even more magical planned for Day 7 of 12 Days of Giveaways! Less than two weeks from Christmas, the presents are already overflowing from the many trees decorating her stage, and Ellen's only halfway through! Let the gift-giving keep on keeping on...
Heralding the holiday season as his famous alter ego Madea, TYLER PERRY is here! The entertainment mogul, who built a brand around the sensational character, wrote, produced, directed and stars in the latest installment of his franchise, "A Madea Christmas," and will offer Ellen plenty of good tidings and cheer. One of the most revered entertainers and businessmen in Hollywood, Tyler's work includes comedies like "Why Did I Get Married?" and "Diary of Mad Black Woman," plus dramas like "For Colored Girls" and "Temptation," and a long list of real-life good deeds that give back to his community.
There's more when KEN JEONG swoops by! The comedian will dish on all things minion when he talks "Despicable Me 2" with Ellen just in time for the DVD release. Known for his scene-stealing roles in films like "The Hangover," "Pineapple Express" and "Pain & Gain," Ken voiced Floyd in the popular animated sequel, and had kids (and their parents) everywhere in hysterics. He can play any part, and he's bringing all that funny straight to Ellen!
One of Ellen's favorite bands, TIRED PONY performs! Deemed a "music supergroup," this alt-rock collaboration matches the talents of Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody and Iain Archer, Belle & Sebastian's Richard Colburn, R.E.M's Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey, Troy Stewart and producer Jacknife Lee. It also features multi-talented actress Minnie Driver! Tired Pony's music stems from the roots of the Earth, inspired by fresh air and natural mysticism tinged with folk, Americana and country. They'll play a track from their new album, "The Ghost of the Mountain"!
On Friday, Ellen goes all-out!

The Role of Physics Departments in High School Teacher Education
By David E. Meltzer, Monica Plisch, and Stamatis Vokos
The Task Force on Teacher Education in Physics (T-TEP) was convened by APS, AAPT and AIP to examine high school physics teacher education in the United States and make recommendations for its improvement. T-TEP found that, except for a handful of isolated pockets of excellence, the national landscape of physics teacher preparation shows a system that is largely inefficient, mostly incoherent, and completely unprepared to deal with the current and future needs of the nation's students. Physics departments have an indispensable role to play if every high school student is to have the opportunity to learn physics with a qualified teacher. However, most physics departments currently avoid playing an active role in physics teacher education. We believe this avoidance is not in the best interests of the physics community.
I. The impact of pre-college science education on the physics community
The US physics community has become habituated–perhaps unconsciously–to a pre-college science education system that is relatively weak by international standards. Several studies have confirmed that, when comparing equivalent student populations, US science students rank no better than middle-of-the-pack among developed nations, and indications are that physics students rank even lower. There is no great mystery regarding the cause: pre-college students in other countries study science–including physics–for more years than they do in the US, and other nations tend to put substantially more resources into preparing highly qualified science teachers for those students. Five years of study by T-TEP have shown that, despite the presence of many devoted and highly qualified high school physics teachers, the overall situation for US high-school physics students is not good.
The impacts of our weak pre-college science-education system are visible to varying degrees. Despite recent growth in the number of physics bachelor's degrees, the proportion of students who elect to major in physics has been shrinking: in fact, the number of physics bachelor's degrees awarded in 2010 was virtually identical to that in 1970, even though the overall number of bachelor's degrees had more than doubled. Among the consequences of this shrinking proportion is an increasingly successful campaign by some state education administrators to eliminate the physics major from "lower producing" departments. While there are many factors behind the low and declining proportion of physics majors, there can be little doubt that pre-university science education has a significant influence. Several studies have shown that students' decisions to major in science fields, including physics, are usually made well before their departure from high school. Moreover, college students who receive inadequate physics preparation in high school are at a substantial disadvantage when trying to complete a standard physics-major curriculum within four years. Studies have shown that US students beginning undergraduate work are not as well prepared in physics as are many of their foreign counterparts.
Many physics faculty are aware that, among US physics Ph.D graduates, US citizens are outnumbered by foreign citizens. An important contributing factor is that the number of US citizens who go on to physics graduate study tends to follow trends in the number of physics majors; fewer majors means a smaller pool to fill openings for graduate students. One might argue that there is no problem so long as foreign citizens are available to fill gaps left by domestic students. However, the supply of foreign graduate students is not assured long term as global investments in R&D continue to rise relative to US levels of spending. A weak science-education system is a potential liability in seeking to increase the domestic supply of physics students.
There are additional impacts of the science-education system. It is reasonable to assert–though difficult to prove–that weaknesses in pre-college science education undermine potential social support for the US science research enterprise. It is difficult to cultivate respect and support for a field that is neither well understood nor well liked by citizens who were denied an enjoyable and rewarding science education during their schooling. Weak science education also limits production of high school and college graduates with the skills needed for an increasingly high-tech economy.
Efforts to improve the US science-education system must include dramatic changes in physics teacher education; such changes may not be sufficient, but they are certainly necessary. T-TEP has found that the present system of U.S. physics teacher education is inadequate. To start with the most obvious problem, most physics teachers don't have adequate physics content backgrounds; about two-thirds of them did not major in physics or physics education. Of the minority who do have adequate content knowledge, only a small portion actually had specialized preparation in physics teaching, not merely in "general science" teaching. Not coincidentally, physics teacher preparation is scattered among hundreds of institutions, only a few of which can and do devote the resources necessary to do a good job.
II. The role of physics departments
Physicists tend to regard the situation of weak pre-college science education in the US with some resignation, believing that it is neither their job to deal with this situation directly, nor that it has any significant impact on the effectiveness of their own work or on the physics community. To the contrary, we argue, it does have an impact, and–while it may not be their "job"–university physics faculty bear some responsibility for both the causes of and the potential remedies for this unsatisfactory state of affairs. For one thing, most US. physics teachers received their physics education though US physics departments, if they received one at all. More to the point, if physics departments don't take substantial responsibility for this process, they can be sure that no one else will either: education schools have little motivation and few resources to address deficiencies in physics teacher education; neither do state education departments. There simply is no other "responsible" party, like it or not.
To be sure, in such a complex system as teacher education, there are plenty of potential culprits to hold responsible for poor outcomes. And, in our experience, our tendency as physicists is to do just that and engage in finger pointing at others. Though perhaps justified, this ignores a zeroth-order explanation: the typical university physics department neither actively recruits nor culturally supports prospective physics teachers, nor provides specialized preparation for their future endeavors. According to a T-TEP survey of all US physics departments, the typical department graduates exactly zero physics teachers every two years (see figure).
As long as physics departments place primary responsibility for the preparation of physics teachers somewhere else, abdicating their own role in the process, future teachers lose the guidance of the only community able to communicate the unique habits of mind that physicists possess. Worse still, high school physics education loses its most natural and ardent advocate. Physics is a relatively small player in STEM precollege education. Although physicists see physics as a special way of knowing–not just a collection of facts and formulas–policymakers tend to view physics as just another package (among many competing packages) of stuff to be learned, and therefore a dispensable luxury. The argument goes as follows: Students have to take science. Physics teachers are scarce. Let students take environmental science or more biology to fulfill their generic "science" requirement. Who, then, will stand up for the importance of physics education, if not the physicists themselves?
Many physics departments convey to their students (often unintentionally) the message that teaching is a second-class career option, that being a physics teacher is a compromise someone would make if their first option–graduate school–did not pan out. After all, the thinking goes, aren't a decent command of content, tolerance toward adolescents, and willingness to jump through education hoops the only requirements for becoming a teacher? Isn't the life of a researcher the only true and noble calling for a physics major? We want to believe that no university physics faculty member consciously communicates these shortsighted views to students. Yet, they are what many students pick up.
We envision a very different situation, one in which most physics departments see part of their mission as encouraging talented students to consider physics teaching as a career, and in which many physics faculty are actively engaged in the education of future teachers. Many of these physics departments would partner with expert practicing teachers to provide students with diverse role models of high-quality physics teaching, and together they would mentor bright students who sought careers as physics teachers. As a consequence, increasing proportions of high school students would experience exhilarating physics courses from inspirational, knowledgeable teachers before they even began university study. Moreover, at this time of national emphasis on the need for more and better prepared STEM teachers, a physics department that aligns itself with such institutional and national priorities is likely to upgrade its perceived value both within the university, and within society as a whole.
We believe that physicists and physics departments are capable of addressing the problem of high-quality physics teacher education quite effectively. Indeed, there are physics departments that graduate relatively large numbers of teachers from excellent programs; some of these are indicated by the outliers in the histogram distribution (see figure). The T-TEP recommendations for physics departments center on (i) developing strong content-knowledge background, (ii) cultivating early physics teaching experiences under expert mentorship, and (iii) developing special courses focused specifically on physics pedagogy. The US has never come close to meeting these recommendations for the great majority of its physics teachers.
III. What can be done
As physics faculty we can begin by asking: How many of our students have thought about becoming a teacher? If we do not know the answer, we should ask the students; their responses may be surprising. Our experience has been that a significant fraction of students consider teaching at some point in their undergraduate program. A physics department that offers an encouraging and supportive environment for future teachers can make a difference in what career students ultimately decide to pursue (and in the overall number of students pursuing a physics degree).
There are a number of steps physics faculty can take to get started. Many of these actions do not require a lot of time:
- Find out what courses and other requirements are needed to earn a physics degree and teaching certification at your institution. Make this information widely available, for example, on the department website, in the course catalog, and as a handout for advising.
- Make an announcement in introductory classes about physics teacher education and whom to contact if students are interested. The contact should be knowledgeable about certification pathways and prepared to help students navigate the requirements.
- Ask students with an aptitude for teaching if they have considered becoming a teacher. Share personal values about teaching and why it is important.
- Invite a local physics teacher to give a presentation and meet with students interested in teaching. It is even better if the teacher is an alumnus of the department or is close in age to the students.
- Go to lunch with the education faculty member in charge of the secondary science education program. Learn more about the certification program and look for opportunities to work together. Showing respect for the expertise of education colleagues can help build the relationship and open doors.
- Consider making early teaching experiences available through the physics department. Such opportunities can help students identify a passion for teaching and experience its intellectual challenges and rewards

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The last person convicted in connection to a murder-conspiracy case within the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was sentenced Tuesday.
James Swift Jr. (pictured, left) was sentenced to seven years and three months for his role in a group that committed murder, theft and drug dealing.
Swift is the brother-in-law of former Officer Karl Waldon, who was sentenced last week to a life sentence for crimes including the murder of a northside businessman.
Swift pleaded guilty and testified against Waldon, saying he helped the officer kidnap and rob Sami Safar as he left a bank with $51,000 to be used to cash checks at his convenience stores.

Synthetic ETFs – an efficient way to use modern financial technology to do something useful for investors or a sinister investment banking kinda plot to cream off extra revenue from naive investors who just want to track an index?
In Monday's FTfm, former Eurizon chief executive Francis Candylaftis called for these evil instruments to be cast into the outer darkness. This sparked a thoughtful explanation by FT Alphaville of precisely where the problem might lie (hint – it's about the bit where you need collateral), using db x-trackers' own diagram of how it all works.
Then blogger Andrew Clavell picked up the theme, suggesting a much firmer regulatory hand on the collateral would solve the problem.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

A Salute To A Legion Of Heroes Their Stories Are Worth Recalling Even If Memories Have Faded
10 Nov 1988
- A Salute To A Legion Of Heroes Their Stories Are Worth Recalling Even If Memories Have Faded
Raymond W. Fritzinger was aware of his fate. Before he went off to war in November, 1942, the Walnutport auto mechanic told relatives privately that he didn't think he would be back
Less than 1 1/2 years later, Sergeant Fritzinger was missing in action. A tailgunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress, his plane was shot down over the North Sea on Feb. 4, 1944, as it was returning to England from a bombing mission to Frankfurt, Germany.
Just 26 years old, Fritzinger was declared dead on Sept. 18, 1945, the first man from the borough of Walnutport killed in World War II.
He left behind a wife, Ethel (Wright) Fritzinger, and a 2-year-old son, Darrel.
Darrel, now a New Tripoli resident, followed in his father's footsteps. A former jet mechanic in the U.S. Air Force and a member of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, Darrel now works for the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment Service. Darrel remembered nothing about his father and said his late mother never talked much about him. But recent years have brought insight into his father's life.
In 1986, when the 42-year-old Raymond W. Fritzinger Post 7215, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Walnutport, rededicated its war memorial, Darrel chatted for the first time with borough residents who knew his father. He also obtained some of his father's military records, learning for the first time exactly how he died.
