The Fiestas.
Dia de Andalucia - 28th February. A public holiday, when the villagers of El Burgo muck in to make the delicious local dish "La sopa de los 7 ramales". The communal meal is followed by traditional dances performed by local groups.
Carnaval - A chance to watch the wonderfully inventive group and individual costumes take over the streets. Why be a spectator, when you will be warmly welcomed if you partake in the festivities?
Semana Cultural - A week of cultural events including theatrical performances organised by the town hall of El Burgo. This is a great chance to improve your language skills, and will provide a unique insight into Andalucian culture.
The Walks.
Two daily walks of different grades (see Itinerary for more details) in and around the nearby Sierra de las Nieves Nature Park. Routes will be led by local guides and Callum Christie, M21367's director. All local transfers included.
Other Activities.
If you don't want to walk everyday, you can experience Andalucian customs at first hand. The daily diary is filled with a range of activities, led by expert guides. The 2013 activities and experts haven't been nailed down just yet but next year you can expect a similar line-up to the list below with some new faces and brand new activities.
Painting - Paco Mayorga.
Paco has lived in El Burgo for the last 10 years, and teaches different techniques, including abstract landscapes featuring the Spanish Firs of the Sierra de las Nieves. He has received various prizes and mentions from different competitions, and regularly exibits his work. Canvass and materials provided.
Author - Paul Murphy.
By the time of the Festival, Paul will have just completed an epic walk through Spain in the footseps of the writer Laurie Lee. Lee's celebrated memoir, "As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning" documents a year long tramp through Spain, at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Poetry, politics and a passion for Spain combine thematically in Paul's Festival talk. He will be recounting his journey and sharing excerpts from his own forthcoming book.

Ancient Jade is aptly named. But I also think it's a unique take on mint green: greener, brighter, and darker. Formula is outstanding, very creamy and easy to apply. Opaque in 1-2 coats.
Unfortunately this polish is limited edition, originally released in Spring 2011, but is still available on Amazon Marketplace and some beauty etailers such as Transdesign. Snatch this up before it's gone forever! Recommended!

Thsi is such a beautiful, unique color. It's gorgeous and applies wonderfully, and in fact you only need one coat. It's great, and I will def buy again which says a LOT because never in my life have I ever bought the same shade twice.

Orly Ancient Jade is a beautiful, true jade. It's a light color but the polish is fully pigmented, so it's not a pastel. The formula is thick and creamy, but it spreads easily and is mostly opaque in one coat. A skilled polisher could get away with one, but I prefer two. The polish levels itself and dries really glossy.

Ancient Jade is a one coat wonder. It's a gorgeous minty green jade that has a slight dusky quality which makes it seem vintage..like it's a color that I would find a lot in an antique store or a victorian home.
I don't have another shade of green like it in my collection so to me, it's also a very unique shade.
Truly love this polish and highly recommend it if you're a green collector.

'Ancient Jade' is a medium green, 'jade' if you want to be more specific, and has a creme finish. The formula is thick, so two coats gets the job done and gives me a bold opaque colour. Dries super quick too and haven't had major chipping problems. In natural light, this can look a little mint-green to me, but a much darker version of the Revlon's Minted nail polish.

The white flesh of halibut, with a mild taste, firm texture and meat that complements almost any seasoning, is perfect for seafood fanatics and picky eaters alike. The huge flatfish is usually cut in to steaks, able to be cooked in a variety of ways. The fillet is quite lean, so it cannot be cooked for a long time in dry heat, but can be cooked in almost any other fashion. The most common means of cooking a halibut fillet is steaming in the oven.
Things You'll Need
- Fresh halibut fillet
- Paper towel
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Medium bowl
- Pinch pepper
- Pinch salt
- Pinch garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. fresh herbs
- Parchment paper package
- 3 slices fresh lemon
- Baking dish
- Oven
Set the oven rack to its middle setting. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the fillet under fresh running tap water. Dry it with the paper towels, discarding them afterward.
Place the fish in the medium bowl. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice over it and thoroughly coat the surface.
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder and fresh herbs over both sides evenly.
Insert the fish in to the parchment paper package. Place the three lemon slices evenly over the top.
Place the package on the baking dish and insert it in to the oven.
Cook the fillet for 10 to 15 minutes, checking after about eight minutes to see if it is cooked through. The flesh becomes completely opaque and slightly flakes when a fork is pierced through the middle.
Remove the fish and serve it immediately either in the package or placed alongside several sides on a plate.
Tips & Warnings
- A variety of fresh herbs can be used on halibut, as its mild meat works with almost any kind of taste.
- This method, using a parchment package, also works well using indirect heat on the barbecue.
- For a dark, almost black look to the fish, sear both sides in a frying pan, with a pat of butter, before inserting it in to the fridge.

text: Andreas Fuster, Caitlin Gorback, and Paul Willen, Federal Reserve, New York: "Since the onset of the subprime crisis, many places across the United States have been affected by high levels of negative equity (meaning that borrowers owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth), an associated flood of foreclosures, and loss of local wealth. In mid-2012, a community advisory firm, Mortgage Resolution Partners (MRP) approached the government of San Bernardino County, California (a region with particularly high levels of negative equity) and pitched the idea of using eminent domain to seize privately securitized mortgage loans in order to restructure or refinance them. The MRP proposal was largely based on a plan by Cornell University law professor Robert Hockett. In late January, this controversial plan was abandoned by San Bernardino County, yet it remains under consideration in other counties. While a lot of the debate surrounding the plan has centered on value judgments and legal issues, in this post we look at available data in order to get an idea of the landscape of loans that could have been affected by such a program in San Bernardino County. There are a few key takeaways from our analysis. First, the share of privately securitized mortgages that are still active five years after the beginning of the subprime crisis is relatively small. Second, while a vast majority of these loans in San Bernardino County is severely underwater, the required payment (at least on the first lien) has decreased significantly for many of them. And though these loans continue to enter serious delinquency at relatively elevated rates, things look much better than they did three to four years ago, in part because house prices have increased quite rapidly over the past year. When evaluating the costs and benefits of policy options such as the use of eminent domain, these facts should be kept in mind."

Readers of a certain age might find themselves avoiding Facebook these days, as the service has become more synonymous with racist uncles ranting about the latest fascist presidential candidate than bored college students. But the ubiquity of Facebook is among the best features of Facebook Messenger. With this messaging service, you can easily send a text message to anyone on Facebook, or share a voice or video call with anyone on Facebook Messenger. It's one of the best iPhone apps out there, and an easy Editors' Choice winner. A recent update makes finding friends even easier.
Start Chatting
Downloading and installing Facebook Messenger is a matter of a few taps in the Apple App Store. I had no trouble activating the app on my iPhone 6.
If you live in a multi-device household, you'll be relieved to know that there are versions of the app for Android and even Windows Phone!
If you don't have a Facebook account by this point, you're probably a reptiloid posing as a human being. Luckily for you, my scaly friend, you can create an account by entering your phone number. If you are a real human and do have a Facebook account, you can simply login with that. Note that you do not need to enter your phone number to use Facebook Messenger, nor do you have to share your contacts with the app, although Facebook encourages you to do so.
Right from the start, Facebook Messenger shows off its focus on minimalism. The Recent messages window is simply white, with little versions of your friends' user images to the left of each message. Group messages show a divided circle of faces, giving you a quick glimpse of who is conversing. A truncated preview of the most recent message is shown in the list, which I like because I can decide whether or not to answer right away.
The navigation along the bottom uses Facebook's trademark blue to highlight the section you're currently in: Recent, Calls, Groups, People, and Settings. Note that the People section simply shows all of your contacts, with the opportunity to chat, call, or invite non-users to the service.
Your most recent conversations are displayed chronologically in the Recent section, with unread messages marked in bold type. Swipe left over any thread to delete the message, archive it, mark it as spam, or mute the thread. This last option simply silences notifications on a particular thread for set periods of time or until you unmute it. You can also block people directly from this menu, which I particularly like.
Although the Recent page is where the app opens by default, you probably won't spend too much time there. For example, I usually respond to messages from the iOS Notifications pull-down page, or by tapping the push alerts as they come in. That means I spend most of my time in the actual chat window, which has a slightly snappier design. Incoming messages are displayed in a grey chat bubble while your messages are in a Facebook-blue bubble.
Facebook Messenger does discern the difference between people who are merely on Facebook and those who have signed up for Facebook Messenger. The latter are marked with a blue icon, indicating that they can receive voice or video calls, but more on that later. In my testing, finding someone to chat with was not a problem. That's hardly surprising, as Facebook boasts 1.6 billion users and 900 million Facebook Messenger users—much more than any other chat service, even WhatsApp, can claim.
All the Chat That's Fit to Print
From within a Messenger thread, you can see when the recipient read your message and when he or she is formulating a response. The interface is very interactive, with subtle animations that let you know it's working.
In addition to text, you can also add locations, photos, 15 seconds of video, 15 seconds of audio, or a huge Facebook thumbs-up to any Messenger thread. These all worked smoothly for me.
Group chats have all the features of a normal Messenger thread, except with more people. I really like that Facebook lets you easily remove yourself from the group or mute the group if it becomes too annoying. It's a bit anarchic, however, since the group's creator has no special privileges within the group. Anyone can remove any other member, including the group's creator. Still, if you're tired of being trapped in endless group chats, Facebook Messenger can help.
Like Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger eschews the traditional IM model and assumes that all users are available all the time. In that sense, it's really more like texting. Though you can toggle your availability off from the People section, it's a far cry from the status messages of old-style instant messaging.
By default, Messenger only shows messengers from your Facebook friends. Messages from outside your social circle are shunted into a hidden folder called Filtered Requests. From Settings you tap People, then Message Requests, then See Filtered Requests. For the most part, these are junk messages. More than anything, looking at this list makes me appreciate what a good job Facebook does showing me only important messages.
Beyond Text
It's strange to say this, but as mobile chat clients improve, the bulk and availability of stickers often decides how much I will like the service. Stickers are emoji-like images, usually styled in a particular theme, and I adore them. A basic set of smileys is included in the app, while others can be downloaded from a built-in marketplace. Most are free, including the famous near-spherical, adorable cartoon cat Pusheen.
Other services like Editors' Choice winners Viber and Telegram have stickers, though Telegram is notable for allowing users to create and share their own sticker sets. Facebook Messenger might be the only place where I can send my friends a tiny image of Jason Statham (as seen in The Expendables 3) surrounded by hearts, but someone created a Murder, She Wrote sticker set for Telegram.
Facebook Messenger also lets you make voice-over-IP calls to other Messenger users. As with most VoIP services, such as Signal, the call takes a long time to connect even after both parties have accepted it. Once connected, the call quality is excellent, with greater range in the audio than that of normal cellular calls. I'm pleasantly surprised at the low latency of my Messenger calls, but I imagine that your mileage may vary depending on your network connection. Another great feature: Facebook lets you leave a voicemail if your recipient is unavailable.
Facebook Messenger recently added video calls, bringing it up to speed with Google Hangouts, Skype, and even Snapchat. My video call connected swiftly and was low-latency enough for us to talk easily. I was a bit disappointed at the video quality, although I have yet to see another mobile chat app (besides FaceTime) that performs better. Interestingly, Facebook Messenger indicated that I had a "weak signal" despite being connected to a FiOS Wi-Fi router.
Unfortunately, video calls in Facebook Messenger are limited to just two participants. If you have a Google account, you can use Hangouts to talk to ten other people simultaneously. Why you would want to is, of course, your own business.
From within Messenger you can also search for and send animated reaction GIFs, which have become the lingua franca of the Internet. If, for you, money speaks louder than words, you can add your credit card and use Messenger to send payments to other members of the service. I personally have not used this feature since I try to limit who has my credit card info, and because services like Venmo have become popular avenues for sharing cash. New integrations let you access services like Disney Gif and even Uber from within Messenger. This all sounds like a lot (and it is), but Facebook Messenger is smartly designed to highlight the actually useful services and keep everything else suppressed. Facebook is also making it easier to connect applications to Messenger, and Dropbox already plays nice with the service. There's also a refined version of the much-loathed chat heads to improve the video experience in Messenger.
Recently, Facebook announced that it is introducing a slew of new features to make connecting with other users easier. First, a special coded image encircles your user picture on the Settings screen. Tap it, and it expands to fill the screen, and gives you the option to scan someone else's code. These act like QR codes, and let two people connect in person without having to search for each other on Messenger. Think of it like a digital business card for Facebook.
Facebook also introduced Usernames, which let other people find you without using your phone number or real name. Usernames come with a super-short a public link that launches the Web version of Messenger, giving you the option to be fully accessible to whomever would like to chat. Telegram also introduced these last two features, and I thought they were excellent. Messenger fans excited by these features should note that Facebook seems to be rolling them out slowly.
Anyone Listening?
Edward Snowden made the NSA's massive surveillance operation a household subject back in 2013. Everyone should consider the possibility that someone other than the intended recipient could read their message, and it's fair to ask how much a messaging platform exposes you to that risk. I've reached out to Facebook to better understand how messages are secured in Messenger, and will update this review when I learn more.
If security is a concern for you, but you still want the convenience offered by Facebook Messenger, stick to iMessages. Messages sent between iPhone users are encrypted end-to-end, and even the FBI complains about not being able to read them. Signal also offers encrypted messaging, and throws in encrypted voice calls to boot. Telegram not only offers encrypted chats, but also includes many of the more fun features found in Facebook Messenger.
Snapchat is best known for its ephemeral messaging, but it doesn't have the best security track record. Telegram and Editors' Choice Wickr also let you define a lifespan for your messages and have been dedicated to secure messaging since their respective launches.
Start Messaging
Any messaging app from Facebook would be worthwhile simply because the service is so popular, and Messenger certainly benefits from that ubiquity. But it's also simple, easy to use, and looks good. And while minimalist in appearance, it's packed to the gills with every feature an online messaging service should have, and several you probably will never use.
If you're looking to stay in touch with your friends and you don't have their phone numbers, or simply don't feel like texting, it is probably impossible to do better than Facebook Messenger. It's an easy Editors' Choice. But, if you're concerned about security, consider WhatsApp, Signal, or Editors' Choice winners Telegram and Wickr.

Uplyme see way past Honiton thanks to the Aussie connection
PUBLISHED: 11:02 07 July 2014 | UPDATED: 08:13 09 July 2014
Australian Nick Dinnison put in a Man of the Match performance to help Uplyme overcome local rivals Honiton at the King George Playing Fields.
Opening the bowling with fellow Australian Charlie Warner, Dinnison took three wickets for 11 runs whilst Warner had early success sending two batsmen back to the pavilion with only 21 runs on the board.
Kevin Kelly came to the wicket and rallied his side with a well constructed 44 before he also fell to the bowling of Dinnison.
It looked as though Uplyme would run through the rest of the middle order when Dinnison had captain Ingram well caught by Mark Batey, leaving Honiton tottering on 96 for 6.
However, George Meadows joined Pete Matravers and the pair dug in to add a battling 50-run partnership for the next wicket with Meadows caught by Dinnison for a gritty 25.
Matravers was unbeaten on 30 as the innings closed on 151 with Brimicombe bowling both Lapping and Freemantle to leave Honiton all out for a modest 151.
The Uplyme reply was certainly not a straight forward one as Honiton duo Adam Holmes and Kevin Kelly delivered superb line and length. The bowling was back up by sharp fielding and the hosts found themselves in early bother at 2-2!
It was that man Dinnison and colt Tyler Wellman who rallied the reply until Wellman was trapped leg before by Holmes for 22. There was then a middle order collapse similar to the Honiton one as Uplyme slipped to 65 for 6. Dinnison stood firm and was joined by another colt Alfie Bellworthy. Together the pair put on 44 before the Kelly brothers struck again. Kevin taking a fine catch from Ian's bowling to dismiss Dinnison for an excllent 60. Undeterred, Bellworthy showing great maturity stood firm and added a further 38 runs in partnerships with Harvey Brimicombe and Charlie Warner to see Uplyme to a two wicket win with a match-winning 51 not out.
This close encounter sets things up superbly for the Corinthian Cup clash between the same two sides this week.

Bringing powerful new tools to teachers, one school at a time
Edusight is a Toronto-based company working to give K-12 teachers simple, powerful tools that enable them to make better decisions in the classroom. The task of finding new users, building key partnerships, and ultimately closing new deals falls to Garros Li, the company's President and co-founder. But with so much to do (Edusight is a relatively young and rapidly growing business), staying on top of Edusight's many long-term opportunities became a real challenge. Excel spreadsheets and whiteboards gave him basic visualizations of different opportunities, but were unreliable and without context.
"I felt super disorganized. I didn't know who I was dealing with, and what stage they were at. At the beginning with only a few clients it was easy to manage, but when we started to work with 50 or even 100 clients, it got completely out of hand."
Enter Contactually — and more specifically, Pipelines. Contactually's built-in sales tracking tool is the main draw for Garros, and since late 2014 he's been using it to help close long-term leads and grow Edusight's business.
"In the past, I would have to go in email and try to remember everything about the deal. Contactually brings that all in one spot."Garros Li, Edusight
Why Pipelines work for Edusight
Contactually helps you stay in touch with the people that matter to you, and that means different things to different users. For Garros, it's one thing and one thing only — potential customers in Edusight's sales pipeline. Rather than trying to stay in touch with an entire network of contacts, Garros uses Contactually to zero in on these prospects with a combination of Pipelines (for reminders and tracking) and Scalemail (for mail merge style small group messaging).
So how does it help? Edusight recently closed a deal with a charter school, with 600 teachers and 11,000 students on the system. It was a big, complicated deal with four main stakeholders involved, and with Contactually, Garros was able to connect all four of them to the deal.
"Sometimes it's easy to lose track of who you need to deal with for a given deal, and Contactually brought all of that info in one spot. It made it easy to keep track of."
For Garros, using Pipelines made these kinds of long-term, slower-developing deals a snap to manage — he simply drags and drops different deals into their correct stages, and pulls up relevant interaction history whenever he needs it.
"Literally right before a meeting was going to start, I'd pull up the deal and see all the context of any previous conversations. In the past, I would have to go in email and try to remember everything about the deal. Contactually brings that all in one spot."
Small team, big progress
While Pipelines are the center of Edusight's Contactually plan, there's a bit more to it than that — they're managing post-conference communication with potential relationships with a Bucket for each event, and coordinated ScaleMail campaigns targeted at each.
Edusight has big aspirations for a young company. Thanks in part to Contactually, they're able to track, engage, and ultimately close the kinds of deals they'll need to take their business to the next level.

Wakefield, NH, United States, 2006/01/26 - Companies of all sizes find new customers, growth, and higher profits by using barter to do some of their business. Use of a barter exchange makes the process easier..
Companies need to watch cash flow, and many use trade through a barter exchange to do it.
"Trying to trade one-on-one with another company has many pitfalls. What if one company wants to trade carpet worth $3,000 for advertising that is only worth $2,000? Or worse, what if the other company doesn't want the carpet? Who will account for it all, and what about the IRS? A barter exchange takes care of all these problems and makes trading goods and services easy and profitable," explained barter expert David M. Bresnahan, from Freedom Barter Exchange.
Local barter groups offer only the ability to trade with a pool of members in a local area. The technology of computers and the Internet now makes it possible to trade with anyone anywhere in the world.
"There are many goods and services that will always be traded locally, such as dental work, auto repair, and contractors. But now it is possible to use a barter exchange to trade for any type of product or service anywhere in the world," said Bresnahan.
Businesses with surplus inventory, unsold hotel and resort space, and time not being used are finding new profits by using barter.
"When you join a barter service you start by selling your products or services to others by listing what you have through a web site. Other members can shop and then make a purchase from you, but instead of paying with cash they pay you with barter credits. You can then use those credits to buy products or services you need from other members of the exchange, or just hold on to those credits for later use," explained Bresnahan.
Transactions that begin with barter often lead to a new cash-paying customer later. Many customers use barter to sample the services of a company before committing to cash payments.
Those who are new to barter will find that it helps to have a personal barter counselor guide them through the process of listing products and services for sale, and finding things to buy. Usually after the first few transactions most people find that it is not only easy, but also fun.
Barter exchanges in 13 countries and the United States have joined together in the International Barter Alliance. Members in each exchange in the alliance have access to the items for sale in all the other barter exchanges.
"Currently there are tens of thousands of members with listings for over $80 million of items for sale to any member of the alliance," said Bresnahan.
FreedomBarterExchange.com allows new members a month free so they can give barter a try. It is simple to start a free account list items for sale. Tens of thousands of potential customers receive a daily e-mail listing newly added items.
"Everything you normally pay cash for you can obtain with trade credits. Your office furniture, computers, printers, computer repair, software, phone system, office supplies, carpet, art for your walls, and professional services like accountants, lawyers and cleaning services can all be obtained through trade," said Bresnahan. "But leave your cash in your pocket because this is the real cashless society," he added.

No party-poopers here
By BBC Sport Online's man in the Low Countries Pete Lansley.
There was a breezy yet laid-back atmosphere in Brussels and Bruges during the quarter-finals as many supporters from non-competing countries rolled up for games they had never dared dream of attending.
Even the pessimistic Dutch took over the Markt in Bruges on Sunday, having envisaged their team would finish second to France in the group stages and so be relocated down south.
But for the English, the Danes and the Belgians, there was consolation in still being there for the party.
A gang of Belgians from near Brussels arrived, without tickets for the France versus Spain game, for a mass game of keepie-uppie.
"Anyone as long as it's not Holland," was the consensus.
Over at the top end of the square, as the mid-morning beers flowed, the orange party was in full swing.
Ajax fan Tristan Rohner, 18, from Purmerend near Amsterdam, was among a group of salesmen from Deen supermarket who was fully sold on the prospect of France v Spain - despite the fact he would have to settle for watching Holland v Yugoslavia from the bar.
"We won the tickets for having the best advertising figures at Deen," he explained.
"We only got the tickets two weeks ago and then we had thought the Netherlands would finish second in Group D by losing to France. We thought we would see a lovely game here in a lovely city.
On Saturday evening in Brussels, England supporters milked the becalmed atmosphere with ambivalent feelings towards their own team's non-involvement.
Nigel from Manchester said: "We felt pretty sick on Tuesday night after we'd had it in our grasp [looking set to qualify by avoiding defeat against Romania].
"But there's also a slight sense of relief. We can walk to the ground without any bother.
"The enthusiasm back home has died off dramatically. People are asking us why we're coming out but we were always going to, irrespective of England. We were never tempted to sell our tickets on."
Ian said: "We're disappointed it's not England involved tonight but not surprised. I was never going to sell my ticket - I'm half Italian so this is a bit of a result for me. Takes the dilemma out of the game."
Another Italian fan was the Austrian Hans who lives in Milan and wears his Inter shirt with pride. "I bought my ticket thinking of Italy v England - this is not the show I was expecting.
"Your side [England] is great but I'm glad I didn't get a fist in my nose today."
Carmelo, born in Calabria but a West Brom fan living in Wolverhampton, sported the best-painted glasses of the tournament.
He reckoned: "I was always here to watch Italy and I intend to follow them through to the final. I never supported England anyway."
"We have stayed here for three weeks and hoped we could see Denmark in the quarter-finals. We got the tickets six months ago but we are here for the fun, for the beer and for the girls."
And have they found what they wanted? "Yes - the beer is good."

AUSTIN — Passing rates for elementary and middle school students on most state achievement tests exceeded 70 percent last year, while the number of high school students passing the new end-of-course exams inched up last fall, the Texas Education Agency reported Tuesday.
An analysis from the agency showed that students in grades 3 through 8 who took the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness for the first time in 2012 performed better than expected. But they benefited from low passing standards in the initial year of the STAAR.
Preliminary results on the exam were released in June after testing in the spring of 2012, but no passing standards were applied until Tuesday. State Education Commissioner Michael Williams announced the passing rates to nearly 2,500 school administrators at a conference in Austin.
"I recognize there has been a lot of anxiety surrounding STAAR tests, but these are encouraging passing rates for the first year of a new, more rigorous test," the commissioner said. He predicted that passing rates would rise in the test's second year.
Passing rates ranged from a high of 80 percent in eighth-grade reading to a low of 59 percent in eighth-grade social studies. The only other subjects in which passing rates dipped below 70 percent were third- and fourth-grade math at 68 percent.
All students in grades 3 to 8 were tested in reading and math, with science and writing tests given in two grades each and social studies in eighth grade.
Meanwhile, the STAAR end-of-course exams were administered for the third time in December and the cumulative passing rates on those exams continued to move up. Only ninth-graders took the end-of-course tests last spring, and there have been two retesting dates since then, in the summer and December.
Students must get an average passing rate in each subject area to graduate from high school, and students who fail can retake the tests as many times as they want before graduation.
Last spring, just 54.4 percent of ninth-graders passed the English I writing test. After two retest dates, the passing percentage is now up to 72.6 percent. That is the lowest on the five end-of-course exams for which results were reported Tuesday.
Other cumulative passing rates are: algebra I (84.7 percent), English I reading (81.2 percent), biology (91 percent), and world geography (84.8 percent).
As on the exams for younger students, the end-of-course tests have fairly low passing standards that require students to correctly answer fewer than half of the questions. For example, students had to correctly answer only 37 percent of the questions on the Algebra I and biology tests to pass.
High school students must get a passing average on 15 end-of-course tests to graduate. There are three exams each in math, science, social studies, reading and writing, although the Legislature will consider reducing that number.

LAND O'LAKES — It all started with a nudist's search for an assisted living facility for her non-nudist grandmother.
"What's going to happen to me and my friends when we have to have heart surgery or a hip replacement?" wondered April Genter, a 46-year-old nudist real-estate agent whose primary customer base is others who share her lifestyle.
The fear of having to forsake familiar surroundings for a place in what they call "the textile world" has prompted a committee of residents from Pasco's nudist communities to examine the possibility of opening what could be the country's first assisted living facility for nudists.
It's a sign of the times as the age of the nudist culture continues to rise.
Hard statistics on age are difficult to obtain given the anonymity of some nudists, but the concern can be seen in the constant efforts to attract the younger set with special events and discounts.
"It's a real challenge," said Van Bradley, general manager of Lake Como in Land O'Lakes. Most of his residents are 50 and older, while members who live off-site but use the amenities are in their mid 40s and up.
The oldest nudist in Pasco is a reportedly a 90-year-old woman.
Still, nudism is big business in Pasco, which has long held a reputation as the nudist mecca of North America. Lake Como, Paradise Lakes and Caliente are the biggest players, with several more smaller places.
Local nudists relate stories of friends who had to sell their home or condominium when their health began to fail. Some were then forced to move away so their children could care for them. Some are estranged from their children because of their nudism, while others, like Marcia Stone, are childless and have no extended family to help care for them in later years.
"We want to stay within our culture," said Paul Brenot, president of the Pasco Area Naturist Association, also known as PANDAbare, a recently formed umbrella group representing the area's nudist communities.
The group's dream is to have an assisted living facility near or in one of the nudist communities so residents could continue to be connected with friends and use amenities such as the swimming pool for in-the-buff recreation and physical rehabilitation.
While such a facility would definitely be a first for Pasco, it also could be the nation's first.
"We don't have any at all, not to my knowledge," said Carolyn Hawkins, spokeswoman for the American Association for Nude Recreation, which counts about 260 member clubs.
Hawkins said such a place would likely draw interest from nudists all over.
"I would love to be able to know I had an ALF nudist environment to go to when I could not live alone," said Hawkins, 65. "You never know what you're going to face down the road."
Organizers are holding a meeting later this month to gauge interest in an adult care facility and begin doing research.
"We're a long way off from putting a shovel in the ground," Bradley said.
State officials say anyone wanting to open an assisted living facility must fill out a license application, have a building, complete land surveys from the state and the local fire marshal, undergo a sanitation inspection and have liability insurance.
As for nudity, "there is no statute or rule to address that," said Alberta Granger, manager of the assisted living program for the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. She knew of no nudist ALFs licensed to operate in Florida.
For Gigi Greiffendorf, the idea of an on-site assisted living facility is intensely personal. Her 46-year-old husband has multiple sclerosis, is on medication and has no feeling on his left side. They're veterans but don't want to go to have to go to VA facilities.
"This is our home," she said. "We want to stay here."

There are many reasons why a large project might have to be approached incrementally. The most obvious, of course, may be funding. However, while arranging the financing for a design project can be time-consuming, frustrating and require many compromises, other considerations also contribute to the wisdom of dividing a project into two or three manageable phases with breathing space between.
Your designer will help you assess the complexities of the design vision you have in mind. Often a client feels they must abandon the vision they want or make undesirable compromises, because they cannot afford the time or money to do it all at once. Accomplishing that vision in reasonably spaced phases is one solution.
While some rationales are similar for both residential and commercial projects, each has very specific challenges that are characteristic of their category.
There is the important consideration of whether or not a home or business will be occupied while the design project is taking place. For financial pacing as well as periods of relief from disruption, timed phases are a smart consideration.
When a commercial design project involves an existing, functioning business, there is the important reality that business must continue productively while the design project takes place. That situation presents a good opportunity for incremental phases ? perhaps allowing operations to vacate one portion of the facility and move to another area while work is being done, then reverse the process.
Drastic renovation of a vintage home is an excellent example of where and when it might be wise to approach the project in spaced phases. Older buildings are full of surprises, and may fall under certain modern building compliances. Such circumstances can create more design considerations than the remodel of a newer building. Often there is demolition involved before new configurations and improvements can go forward. And, the project may become larger than was originally expected. Breaking it into spaced increments may be the answer.
Accomplishing a design project when the building ? residence or business ? is vacant is vastly different than when occupied. However, there may still be reasons to divide the project into separate design and installation phases.
Consider a building that is intended for medical, dental or other professional occupancy. The client may wish to create an integrated and compatible design and personality for the building, but may wish initially to only finish specific areas, leaving others until additional occupancy is determined.
Your designer will work with you to develop a projected plan that is paced to suit both budget, function and use strategies.
When preparing a phased design project, your designer will want to work with you on the big picture, and the full desired end product. When you are able to envision the whole, the paced increments can be logically developed, and will not feel like fragments, but rather part of an exciting whole which you will accomplish in stages.

The Manchester City goalkeeper has been suggested as a potential skipper in the absence of the suspended Steven Gerrard but is backing another candidate for the role
With the Liverpool midfielder suspended and vice-captain Frank Lampard struggling to prove his fitness, manager Roy Hodgson is likely to be forced to pick a new skipper for the game.
And, despite being strongly backed to take the armband himself, Manchester City shot-stopper Hart believes Rooney is more qualified to take on the role.
"I've no idea who is going to be captain but I am pretty sure it will fall to Rooney," Hart told Sporting Life.
"He is our star man with 10 million caps at the age of whatever he is, 26? I imagine he is a little bit further up the queue than me."
The Manchester United striker took the armband for the first time under former boss Fabio Capello, as Brazil beat England in Qatar three years ago.

Davis buyout puts financial strain on UNC athletic department
Posted August 1, 2011
When it was announced Wednesday that Butch Davis was not going to be the head coach of the University of North Carolina football program for the 2011 season, many people asked if the dismissal of the coach was with or without "cause."
The difference in the terminology as it pertains to Davis' contract puts a $2.7 million dollar burden on the UNC football – and more accurately the UNC athletics – department budget.
Because the exit of Davis was deemed to be "without cause," he is entitled to a buyout package that guarantees him $933,500 and could net him as much as $2,703,500.
UNC spokesman Kevin Best said that the expected 2011 salary for Davis has been budgeted for. Beyond this year, buyout payments to Davis are not yet budgeted and could potentially eat up nearly all of the $1 million that the athletic department has in reserve.
UNC athletic director Dick Baddour and Chancellor Holden Thorp were adamant in a press conference that formalized the head coach's dismissal that all the money will come from the athletics department and not the school's general fund.
The UNC athletic department, similar to many universities across the country, operate under a break-even model. According to the USA Today, the UNC athletic department posted a total profit of $140,072 in the 2009-10 academic year.
As it breaks down, Davis will assuredly get the remainder of his annual salary for 2011 ($1,122,000) plus a pro-rated portion of his annual retention bonus ($13,083) and the remainder of his annual supplementary compensation for the calendar year ($650,000). Davis will also command $590,000 each year from 2013-15 if he is not coaching elsewhere. The final payment is scheduled for Jan. 15, 2015.
Had UNC elected to keep Davis, they would have owed him a grand total of $6.7 million over the same time span before performance bonuses. The bonuses could have netted Davis $200,000 more had he attained them.
The big question now is if the school can afford to be paying two head coaches. Best said that a restructured deal for interim head coach Everett Withers is not yet done. UNC is also looking for a new linebackers coach after it was announced that Art Kaufman will be promoted to defensive coordinator.
Baddour said Monday that he is confident that the program will operate in the black this year but would not comment on the future. Best said that there are no plans for budget cuts at this point and said the athletics department is hoping for future income to come from strong ticket sales and television agreements.
According to the USA Today, ticket sales accounted for $23.3 million in 2009-10 which amounts to nearly 32 percent of the athletic department's revenue. Television and other broadcast rights brought in an additional $11.1 million which is responsible for more than 15 percent of the program's revenue.
The report indicates that salaries and benefits that go to the coaches, administration and support staff account for roughly 38 percent of the expenses.
One place the money is not coming from is the Ram's Club.
John Montgomery, the executive director of the Ram's Club, said the club is not putting any money toward the buyout. He said that all monies from the Ram's Club go to scholarships and facilities.

Lindsay Lohan Hearts Rehab
According to a friend of Lindsay Lohan's, she's been behaving and loving her stint in the Wonderland Center. And we're not surprised. Because we've seen pictures of the place and it looks freakin' nice. So nice, in fact, we're considering finding a reason for having our asses shipped there. From People:
"She's been sending text messages from rehab saying she's the happiest she has ever been," a pal tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "She seems under control right now."
The pal also revealed at what poiner her closest family and friends pushed her to take steps toward getting her life back on track.
What Lindsay's friends thought of her behavior is after the jump.
Pal Says Lindsay Lohan Is Happy in Rehab [People]
When Lohan – who in December revealed she had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings – hit Hollywood's Les Deux on Jan. 5, less than 24 hours after having her appendix removed.
"That's when (those in her inner circle) said, 'We can't make excuses for this,' " says a source. "She was like, 'You're right. So let's do something about that.' "
Personally, I believe that Courtney Love could really help a lot of celebrities by running a "scared straight" program from the living room of her home. Because if taking a close-up look at the kind of plastic surgery decisions one is apt to make whilst under the influence isn't enough to terrify a starlet out of doing drugs ever again, frankly, I don't know what will.

Chang to take sole control of D.C. United
WASHINGTON -- D.C. United is going from two primary owners to one.
Victor MacFarlane said Thursday he is selling his stake in the MLS club to partner Will Chang.
San Francisco businessmen MacFarlane and Chang paid $33 million for the operating rights to United two years ago. MacFarlane became the first black owner in MLS, and Chang became the first Chinese-American MLS owner.
MacFarlane is selling his United interest so that he can focus more on his primary business, the MacFarlane Partners real estate investment management firm.
"Though I now change my status from owner and fan to just fan, I plan to continue to champion D.C. United's goals -- on and off the field," MacFarlane said in a statement.
Chang, also a member of the ownership group of baseball's San Francisco Giants, said there will be no immediate changes in United management. He will also continue to quest for a new stadium for the MLS club.
"We have many challenges ahead for both the team and a stadium site, but I am confident we will emerge successful on both fronts, including bringing the club to a stronger international level," Chang said. "We will only improve our strategy on and off the field."

Optima Legio
Optima legio
Legion, the MU, the official MU is an institution that has served well
to eUK, respectable, and officially independent from any party.
Today, a small "misunderstanding" have been raised concerning with
independency of Legion to the party ESO. It's true that Legion was
created by ESO members, and it has nurtured for a long of time by
ESOers. But, there's not a direct and clear, unfair, link from Legion
to ESO. In other words, ESO doesn't benefit from Legion in any form.
It's true that the activity in election votes of ESO is incredibly high, that is,
they've got a lot of votes comparing with its size. No other party has
such a high number 98%. It can be due to several factors, but there's
no evidence and no witnessing of anything wrong in Legion.
My very personal point of view is that, Legion since it has a slightly
larger share of ESO members, from a strictly mathematical point of
view, it renders more support to ESO, not hugely significant.
One concern many have about Legion being the official Military Unit is
with regards of supplies. Many fear that a Legion may get unexplained
and unsuitable large ammounts of supplies. Legion chiefs state that
they're independent in supplies from government. Frankly speaking,
this make Legion a strange "official" MU, since the only link to the
government is orders.
Anyway, I've tried to stick to facts (and fears) as much as
possible, with less possible bias.
It's pointless, fruitless and unfair to attack Legion, and it's
pointless to attack irrational fears of some, fear is , almost by
definition, something quite irrational.
Salve optima Legio Britannica!
Dr. Hugh's :
p00kachu's :
Klurr's :
Good article and attempt to get all the facts before coming to a sensible conclusion.
Legion is supplied by a commune system - in a similar manner to most.
Any MU could achieve the levels of supplies if they we're to also put in the same amount of money, time and effort into it.
I like this article far better than the one you just vote bought...
You did try to spell out the truth in this one.

I heard a really interesting programme on BBC Radio 4 on Monday evening that lifted the lid on the murky and frustrating world of British transport politics. You can listen again here for a few days.
It looked at the work of John Prescott's transport ministry in the late 1990s, which developed a ten-year transport plan for Britain called, inventively, 'Transport 2010'. Those ten years have come and gone and 2010 has arrived, so how far did we come?
Not far enough, said the programme. Politics has a way of scuppering grand plans, and Prescott and others reckoned transport plans suffered more than most, as they're easier (politically) to cut when the financial going gets tough.
One part of the plan was to make big investments in public transport, such as buses. As I don't drive, I end up spending quite a lot of time on buses, whether they get invested in or not. I think it's probably fair to say they've got better in London (where I live) over the last ten years. But never have I felt like this:
I'll leave you to think up your own response to that caption… I've got a bus to catch.
