Allergy Information
We make every effort at Euphoria Chocolate Company to provide as much information as possible to our customers. If you have questions about the ingredients in any product do not hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We make many products with nuts both tree nuts and peanuts. Unfortunately we must recommend against the purchase of our products for anyone with serious nut allergies. Cross contamination is a possibility, and a number of our suppliers send ingredients already noted the same.
In our production facility we make chocolate covered cookies for our retail stores. This means there is a chance of gluten cross contamination from the cookies for many items. We recommend against bagged fruits and nuts and nut clusters (cross contamination), maltballs (barley), espresso beans and Holland mints ("natural flavors from our ingredient suppliers), and any peanut butter filled item (may contain barley or wheat products). Items with a lower but still possible chance of cross contamination are Crème Maison, Classic Truffles (except the Oreo flavor), Oregon Wine Truffles, Spice Trade Truffles, Caramels, and Classic Collection mixed item gift boxes. The Clusters line are gluten ingredient free but made on shared equipment. These items are hand dipped in the same dipping area as the cookies so cross contamination is a possibility. We can say that gluten intolerant staff members and local customers have had no problems with the Crème Maison, Classic Spice, or Wine truffles, or the Caramels. The other ingredients in these items are safe. High sensitivity customers, though, should probably avoid these lines.
So what does that leave? All solid chocolate items are gluten ingredient free. This includes buttons, hearts, and molded items. Ultra Chocolate Sauce is also gluten ingredient free. Bulk chocolate items including baking chocolate and chips are gluten ingredient free. Baking and drinking cocoas are also gluten ingredient free. The Pinot Noir, Mexican, and Mint Sauces are gluten ingredient free.
Not surprisingly all items containing milk or white chocolate have dairy ingredients. Most of our dark chocolate contains butter oil. This is a dairy fat mechanically removed from butter. It is a very pure fat but those who are particularly casein sensitive may want to avoid it as well. Our 70% Dark Chocolate Buttons (Gift, Bulk) are made on shared equipment but do not have any dairy ingredients. At this time the only items we have available that are totally dairy free with no cross-contamination risk are the Baking Chocolate Buttons and Sunrise Baking Cocoa.
Except for the Baking Chocolate Buttons and Sunrise Baking Cocoa all of our products contain soy lecithin. If the lecithin is not a problem then the same cautions as gluten apply.
Our chocolate does not contain corn syrup or other byproducts. For those with higher sensitivities the same cautions as gluten would apply.
Carmine Dye Cochineal Extract
We have recently become aware that the red colorings in the Holland mints contain carmine.

Recent Posts
The economy took a nosedive in December 2007 as the Great Recession began its crippling effects on the U.S. economy. The rebound took a few years and began to show improvements in the latter half of 2009. Those initial steps toward recovery were on the backs of hardworking, committed small business owners who refused to give up. Over the last few years, we have seen these small businesses survive and beat the odds.
This is the year that we will see small business leaders move past surviving and into thriving. Here is how they are going to do it, and how you can too. (more…)
It may sound cliché, but I am dead serious about your satisfaction. In fact, it's my top priority. Let me explain. (more…)
I'm very pleased to announce that Infusionsoft has hired Brent Stumme as our CFO. After more than two years of searching, I'm thrilled with the match we found. You might be asking yourself, "Why did it take so long to find the right person?" and "Why should I care?" (more…)
A cornerstone of the 2013 Spring Release is Infusionsoft ID, a new way for you to log into and connect all of your Infusionsoft related applications, such as the Campaign Marketplace and Sync for Gmail, with a single email address and password. (more…)
InfusionCon 2013 is less than three weeks away and I can't wait! The anticipation is building for our largest sales and marketing conference for small businesses yet … it's like Christmas in March.
Our first InfusionCon was held in a rented training room next to our offices at the time. We had about 35 people who came together to share ideas and learn best practices in building their business. Every year since, the conference has become better and better. Every year I remember its modest beginnings and how much it has grown. Last year, we hit 'sold-out' status with 1,400 attendees (at a venue that was probably better suited for 1,250 people). This year, we're expecting over 2,000 enthusiastic small business owners to attend InfusionCon 2013.
Today is a big day for Infusionsoft and our small business customers. I'm thrilled to announce that we have acquired GroSocial, a social media marketing software company. You can read the press release announcing the deal and you can sign up for the webinar where we'll demo the two products together. (more…)
I always love this time of year. It's the time when we take stock of the previous year, look ahead to this one and set goals and key milestones for success. Last year, I shared my predictions for our company and I'm happy to report all of those came true. In similar fashion, I'd like to share with you my top predictions for Infusionsoft in 2013. (more…)
At Infusionsoft, we're up to something big. We're building a company that's built to last. Today is a big day on the road to fulfilling our purpose to help small businesses succeed.
I'm pleased to announce Infusionsoft has secured $54 million in growth capital financing from Goldman Sachs. This is super-exciting news for our customers, partners and employees. We'll put this investment to good use, fueling our product development, accelerating marketing and sales, and growing our partner and education programs in the U.S. and internationally. This ultimately means we will reach more small businesses around the globe and enable them to succeed with our all-in-one sales and marketing software, services and education. (more…)
I was honored when the ASU Venture Catalyst asked me to be a keynote speaker at their Techiepalooza event. The event brought together several hundred members of the Phoenix entrepreneurial and tech community for education and networking. Right away, I knew what topic I wanted to speak about. (more…)
If you've followed Infusionsoft for any period of time, you know we're huge proponents of culture. Our culture is an incredible competitive advantage for us, enabling us to hire the best people who make a great impact on our customers and the company. We have been named one of the best companies to work for in Arizona for six straight years. And last year, we were named #15 on the list of Best Companies to Work for in America. (more…)

The Power of One
Barracuda hard drives give you the Power of One. One hard drive platform for every desktop storage application. One drive with trusted performance, reliability and simplicity and capacity.
Your drive is up to 45% faster than the last generation thanks to Seagate OptiCache™ technology. OptiCache™ technology combines the latest advances in hard drive microprocessors, DRAM and proprietary caching algorithms resulting in great performance improvements for you.
You don't have worry about the transition to Advanced Format, 4K technology with Seagate SmartAlign™ technology. With SmartAlign™, 4K drives look and act just like legacy 512 byte sector hard drives which makes your adoption of Advanced Format – simple.
You get reliable read/write performance even in tough operating environments with Seagate AcuTrac™ technology. AcuTrac™ represents new advanced hard drive technology that can accurately control reading and writing on these "nano-sized" tracks spinning at 7200 RPM, even in high touch environments, like an all-in-one PC with loud music booming through the speakers.
Green where it counts
Barracuda desktop drives are produced using the most sophisticated manufacturing process in the industry, with a focus on environmental stewardship.
I have a DELL Studio XPS 16 (1645 with intel core i7 cpu), with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preinstalled and updated to Service Pack 1, and
I recently upgraded my Western Digital HDD to a larger Solid State Crucial M500 480GB drive, (using
the crucial easy laptop install kit).
The laptop boots with the SSD drive now being the only drive installed.
I cloned the HDD, using the automatic procedure in Acronis TrueImage HD using a boot CD, however, the Windows Update in the newly
installed SSD does not function and gives the message "windows update cannot currently check for updates becuase the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I previously tried all other combinations in cloning the HDD to SSD with Acronis TrueImage HD, to no avail.
The computer was checked for viruses and malware prior to the cloning procedure with Bitdefender Antivirus 2013 and is virus free.
Also, internet explorer is not downloading files from hyperlinks. It will display the option for save as, open, save but will
proceed and open the download dialog box when left-mouse-clicking on hyperlinks of files which I choose to download and will not
display the image format jpg when I right-mouse-click on an image link and choose save image as but display the options for png and
bmp only. I installed the Chrome browser which worked, the problem with internet explorer persists.
I give you a link to my windowsupdate.log file,
I consider the windows update malfunction to a be serious problem, thank you in advance for any assistance.
I have a Gateway NV59c laptop, and on this site I have a compatibility guarantee for the Crucial MX100 500 GB SSD I picked up.
I used Acronis to clone the drive. When I hook it up via USB with the Crucial adapter kit, I can see the drive is cloned. However when I remove my current HDD and replace it with the SSD, the computer doesn't even get to the BIOS screen, it just shows the Gateway splash, says hit F2 for Setup, but it won't respond to F, it shuts off and restarts. Rinse, repeat.
Any ideas? I don't want to return the SSD, I want to get it to work.
Hi koalagurl,
I am very sorry for the issues that you have been experiencing with your HDD. It does sound like there is an issue with the drive that is causing the issues that you have experienced. At this time I would recommend contacting Seagate directly as they do offer support on their drives. I am sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause, but they will be able to offer better assistance and help you out with a warranty if necessary.
Hi jeremy1988,
I think it is hard to tell for sure, you would probably get better feedback from people who actually use SSDs during compiling. I believe that (please correct me if I am wrong) that during compliling there is a huge count of small reads and writes and lot of seek operations, that is why it is rough on mechanical drives I guess.
The situation is different with SSDs, there is no moving parts and what wears out the drive are NAND write operations.
Modern SSD can handle hundreds of TBs of writes. Whats even better Crucial M5x0 and MX100 models use AD Average Block-Erase Count SMART attribute which is like small clock ticking to 3000 value, where in general 0 value stand for 100% health and 3000 stand for 0% health. So you can actually keep an eye on how fast your SSD is wearing out (in terms of NAND writes).
I don't know how large drive do you need but personally I like to experiment and evaluate - I would probably try to test it with one of my spare SSDs, or buy cheap MX100 128GB (that seems to be great drive by the way) that in the worst case scenario I could use in a different system
There is probably one thing you should keep in mind that could possibly (or not) affect SSD performance while using in Linux system. In general to maintain best speeds it is necessary to have TRIM working but I believe it is not a problem for modern distros and/or kernels.

NEW YORK (AP) - New York City now says that residents who used their own money to fix damage from Superstorm Sandy may be reimbursed with federal money.
The New York Times reports that the reversal by the city for distributing an initial $1.77 billion in grants it was allocated was based on feedback it received during a 2-week comment period.
On Tuesday, the city announced a program that will reimburse "qualifying homeowners" of 1- to four-family homes who paid for repairs that were not covered by insurance, FEMA money or other sources.

Affymetrix recommends Titanium DNA Amplification Kits for use with its Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 and 5.0 Sets, as well as with its original GeneChip Human Mapping 250K and 500K Array Sets. These state-of-the-art SNP genotyping systems use Affymetrix's proprietary GeneChip technologies to interrogate as many as 906,600 SNPs on a single array (in the SNP Array 6.0). Affymetrix evaluated DNA polymerases from several manufacturers and decided to exclusively recommend Clontech's Titanium Taq DNA Polymerase for genome amplification on the basis of its superior performance and quality.
The Titanium DNA Amplification Kits were designed in collaboration with Affymetrix scientists and come in two formats. The first kit (Cat. 639240) contains enough reagents to perform 300 PCR reactions, while the second kit (Cat. 639243) contains enough for 400 PCR reactions. The 300 reaction kit can be used by itself to support the original two-chip format, enabling you to screen 96 genomic DNA samples with the Mapping 500K Array Set. The 400 reaction kit can be used to support the single chip format, enabling you to screen 48 genomic DNA samples with the SNP Array 5.0 or 6.0 Sets. Use Titanium DNA Amplification Kits in conjunction with these powerful Affymetrix SNP Array Technologies to maximize the yield and quality of your SNP genotyping studies.
Titanium DNA Amplification Kits feature Titanium Taq DNA Polymerase, a 5'-exonuclease deficient Taq polymerase blended with TaqStart Antibody for automatic hot start PCR. The Kits also contain an optimized buffer mix (containing MgCl2), purified dNTP mix, and our proprietary RNase-free GC-Melt Reagent, which improves PCR amplification and yield when using templates with high GC-content or complex secondary structure.
All of the Affymetrix GeneChip and Genome-Wide arrays provide high coverage across different populations. The SNP Array 6.0 features more than 1.8 million markers for genetic variation—including more than 906,600 SNPs and more than 946,000 probes for the detection of copy number variation—allowing high-performance, high-powered, low-cost genotyping. The Mapping 500K Array Set is comprised of two arrays, each capable of genotyping an average of 250,000 SNPs, and has been validated in over 120 published studies in less than three years (1). The SNP Array 5.0 features all of the SNPs from the original two-chip Mapping 500K Array Set, as well as 420,000 additional non-polymorphic probes that can measure other genetic differences, such as copy number variation.
Titanium DNA Amplification Kits meet Clontech's high quality standards and have been functionally validated by Affymetrix scientists for use with their SNP Array 6.0 and 5.0 Sets, as well as the original Mapping 250K and 500K Arrays. This extra validation step ensures that the Titanium amplification step will never be a roadblock to your genotyping success.
Affymetrix recommends Titanium DNA Amplification Kits for use with its Genome-Wide Human SNP Assay Kits.

Enjoying the thrills of motocross riding doesn't have to involve using a high-powered bike. Sometimes, you're actually better off with a simpler and easier to handle bike like the Kawasaki KLX140 .
As a multi-talented ride that provides a steady flow of power, the KLX140 is the kind of bike that riders of all shapes and sizes will come to enjoy. Whether you're a novice in the game or a seasoned veteran, the accessibility and usability of the KLX140 is a true hallmark of this compact, straightforward dirt bike.
The KLX boasts of a high-revving, smooth and surprisingly quiet 144cc engine that's remarkably simple to use, thanks to a manual clutch and a five-speed, close ratio transmission. Combine that with a high-tensile steel perimeter frame covered by KX-like shrouds, a two-tone seat cover, and sharp, aggressive body work, and you have a bike that's built for any and all occasions. The KLX140 also boasts of a roomy cockpit, overall control layout, and a narrow footpeg/frame relationship – including wide and comfortable footpegs – making it easy for riders to move around without worrying about losing their way.
Handling the suspension duties for the KLX140 is a 33mm telescopic fork featuring custom-tuned spring rate and damping settings. In the back, a UNI-TRAK linkage equipped rear shock featuring 5-way preload adjustability provides a smooth and controlled ride while lightweight RK EXCEL aluminum rims and advanced braking components make for a completely versatile bike. A large 220mm front disc and 27mm twin-piston caliper at the front and 186mm rear disc provide serious stopping power. Both utilize petal shaped rotors, which help clean the brakes and reduce unsprung weight for better wheel control.
Find out more about the Kawasaki KLX140 after the jump.
- Reliable and easy to use lightweight engine is simple to operate and maintain
- Engine revs easily and allows riders to use the engine's full rpm range up to the rev limiter at 10,500 rpm
- Exhaust pipe is curved to achieve optimum length for good power characteristics
- Quiet muffler is equipped with a USFS-approved spark arrester, meaning the KLX140 can access designated public off-road riding areas
- Oil-moistened air filter is washable, reusable, easily accessed and highly effective in dusty situations
- 33mm telescopic fork has spring rates and damping settings specific to each model
- KLX140 rear shock features 5-way preload adjustability
- More advanced KLX140L rear shock and reservoir can be mounted on the KLX140 for faster riders
- Flat-shaped box-section of frame, long footpegs mounted close to the bikes' centerline and no kick-start lever combine to offer riders a good grip on the bike and thusly a higher level of machine control
- Footpeg/frame relationship is modeled after the KX models for maximum leg grip
- Handlebar is rubber-mounted to reduce vibration transferred to the rider's hands
- Two-piece upper triple clamp and handle clamp allow easy aftermarket handlebar installation
- Raised pattern on half of the handgrip surface improves rider grip and comfort
- Two-tone seat cover has a slip-resistant top surface for improved grip and smooth sides for excellent rider mobility when standing

I swear I've had such a hard time understanding the petitions and visitation with them and all of that. We've had two home visits this week and when I asked how the case was going there's not much to say.
Looks as though mom is doing worse than ever. I have no idea what she needs to do in order to get visitation back but she had her appt. with the Psychiatrist last week and we haven't heard a word about it being changed so I'm assuming it hasn't been. She's convinced we have other foster kids and that's why we bring the wrong child and wrong pics to her. When they tell her that baby girl is our only foster child and the only one we've ever had, she tells them that she has out of body experiences where she can come to our house and that she's been here and seen us with our other kids. She also thinks she's not spending a lot of time in her body. They said she looks down at her feet and says they aren't hers and talks about vanishing scars and birthmarks or something. She also has mentioned not wanting baby girl to be around her sometimes because she's afraid "they" (the voices) will hurt her. So...doesn't sound promising at the moment. I'll be scared if they give visitation back knowing what kind of mind set she is in.
Anyway, about the petitions. I asked our CASA advocate what was going on with that and she said that she has gotten no info from anyone. Either there isn't any to give, meaning that the people filing have done nothing, or DSS is just being difficult to communicate with and she's not able to get the info from them that they have. She said she asked about it again this week and they told her "it's the same". She said she has no idea what that means, but that the petition that we're worried about (grandmother of oldest sibling) she had no info on and didn't even know it existed until we told her. They're required to give her any info they have so she can make a report for court and either they haven't done that or there's been nothing to give her. I hope it's the latter and that the lady decides not to try. She's older and has taken care of a million kids and I think it's time to just let it go but...not my choice to make.
Today we had visitation. It's every other week for the petitioners. They both missed the first one. No call, no show. They started showing up every other week after that, but this week the one we're concerned about didn't show up. The other lady told me she wasn't coming so I don't know if there was a good reason, but we had already had to reschedule it twice. I had the flu last week and tried to schedule it for the end of the week. We had it scheduled and she said she couldn't do it then so we schedule it for this week (normally an off week) and she still didn't come. Anyone have any clue how seriously they take this? Seems to me a court ordered visitation should be taken pretty seriously unless there's a family emergency or something. They made it sound more like she was busy and couldn't make it. It's hard for me to understand how someone can commit to a child for the next 18 years when they can't commit to an hour every other week for visitation now.
I hope this is all taken into account. We were told if nothing changed in the next week or so, the recommendation will be for her to stay in foster care. With the info they have now, they say there's no reason for her to go anywhere. I hope it stays this way. We love our little sweetie and I've been a nervous wreck about court coming up.

Dropout rates differ based on the purpose of the measure, the definition of a dropout, the availability and accuracy of the data, and the time period covered. Some rates, for example, cover only one school year; whereas, others cover multiple years. Some are based on actual student-level data; whereas, others use estimated student counts.
Texas calculates two dropout rates:
Texas also calculates the attrition rate, which is not a dropout rate, but measures the difference between the number of students enrolled in grade 9 in the fall of one school year with the number of students enrolled in grade 12 in the fall three years later.
To measure how many beginning ninth graders drop out before completing high school, the longitudinal dropout rate is used.
Individual student-level data are used to track students through the fall semester following their expected graduation date; each student then is assigned a final status of on-time graduate, General Educational Development (GED) certificate recipient, continuing in high school, or dropout. A student is considered to be a graduate, continuer, GED recipient, or dropout from the school he or she last attended. A dropout is defined as a student who is enrolled in public school, does not return to public school the following fall, is not expelled, and does not: graduate, receive a GED certificate, continue school outside the public school system, begin college, or die.
The formula for the longitudinal dropout rate is the number of dropouts divided by the sum of on-time graduates plus continuers plus GED recipients plus dropouts.
If I am a high school principal, and I want to know how many students left my school without diplomas, I would use this longitudinal dropout rate.
The graduation rate from this calculation also tells me how many students graduated on-time. This rate shows the percentage of students from a cohort of first-time ninth graders who graduate by the expected graduation date four years later. The rate is based on individual student-level data and is calculated from the same data used to calculate the longitudinal dropout rate.
The formula for the graduation rate is the number of graduates divided by the sum of the graduates plus continuers plus GED recipients plus dropouts.
The four-year, on-time graduation rate for the class of 2010 was 84.3%. This was an increase of 3.7 percentage points from the class of 2009 (80.6%).
Note: The denominators of the graduation rate and the longitudinal dropout rate are the same and do not include students who left Texas public schools to enter other educational settings such as home schools, private schools, or schools out of state. Only Texas public schools are required to submit data to the Texas Education Agency. Thus, final statuses for students who enter other educational settings are unknown.
For the class of 2010, the longitudinal dropout rate was 7.3%. This means that almost 23,000 students from the class of 2010 dropped out before receiving a diploma. The longitudinal dropout rate decreased from the class of 2009 (9.4%).
For more detailed information about longitudinal dropout rates, see the TEA Annual Report on Secondary School Completion and Dropouts.
The annual dropout rate measures the percentage of students who drop out of Texas public schools in a single school year.
A dropout is defined as a student who is enrolled in public school, does not return to public school the following fall, is not expelled, and does not: graduate, receive a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, continue school outside the public school system, begin college, or die. The annual dropout rate requires only one year of data and can be calculated for any grade level. It produces the lowest rate of all the rates TEA calculates and is based on individual student-level data.
The formula to calculate the annual dropout rate is the number of students who dropped out during the school year divided by the number of students enrolled during the school year.
If I'm a high school principal and want to know how many of my students dropped out last year, I would use the annual dropout rate to tell me exactly how many students did not return and from what grades they dropped out.
In 2009-10, almost 35,000 students dropped out from grades 7-12; this represented 1.7% of all students in grades 7-12.
For more detailed information about annual dropout rates, see the TEA Annual Report on Secondary School Completion and Dropouts.
The attrition rate measures the difference between the number of students enrolled in grade 9 in the fall of one school year with the number of students enrolled in grade 12 in the fall three years later. The attrition rate is not a dropout rate. Unlike the annual and longitudinal dropout rates, the attrition rate does not track individual students. Instead, it is based on total counts of students.
The formula to calculate the attrition rate is the grade 9 enrollment in the fall of year one minus the grade 12 enrollment in the fall of year 4 divided by the grade 9 enrollment in fall of year 1.
The attrition rate is an estimate that does not distinguish between attrition that results from dropping out and attrition that results from other reasons, such as students being retained, moving to other schools, or graduating early. This calculation produces the highest rate of the rates calculated by TEA.
Differences in growth rates across grade levels and between schools can distort the attrition rate. In fact, a negative attrition rate may result. If a school experiences a large increase in grade 12 students because, for example, two schools consolidated or the school is in a high growth area of the city, the grade 12 count of students could be much larger than the grade 9 count of students three years earlier. This would result in a negative attrition rate. In addition, small numbers of students and student mobility can result in disparities between the attrition rate and the four-year, on-time graduation rate for the same district.
The grade 9-12 attrition rate for Texas public schools for 2009-10 was 26.6%.
When student-level data are unavailable, or comparisons are needed among entities that do not collect student-level data, the attrition rate may be the only measure available. For example, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) does not calculate longitudinal graduation rates based on student-level data. Instead, NCES uses aggregate enrollment and graduation counts to calculate the averaged freshman graduation rate for Texas and other states.
Because student-level data allow for the greatest level of accuracy in dropout reporting, Texas includes the annual and longitudinal dropout rates in the public school accountability rating system. Since it is an estimate, the attrition rate is excluded from the accountability system.
For more detailed information about attrition and averaged freshman graduation rates, see the TEA Annual Report on Secondary School Completion and Dropouts.
Yes, Texas is making progress lowering the number of students dropping out of school. The data used to calculate the different dropout rates are reaching the same conclusion – the overall number of dropouts is decreasing.
Longitudinal rates
Out of 314,079 students in the class of 2010 grade 9 cohort,
The four-year, on-time graduation rate (80.6%) increased from the class of 2009 by 3.7 percentage points while the longitudinal dropout rate (9.4%) decreased.
Click here for information on the change of the four-year, on-time graduation rate over time with concurrent changes in policy and definition.
Annual dropout rates
In 2009-10, almost 35,000 students dropped out from grades 7-12. The grade 7-12 annual dropout rate (1.7%) decreased from the prior year when more than 40,000 students dropped out.
For further information on the dropout rate, see the TEA Annual Report on Secondary School Completion and Dropouts.
You can find the dropout rate for your local school district or school at the data search at that link. Rates are also available on the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) reports.
Districts began submitting information under the more rigorous NCES definition and procedures in 2005-06. Under the NCES definition, a dropout is a student who is enrolled in grades 7-12, does not return to public school the following fall, is not expelled, and does not: graduate, receive a General Educational Development (GED), continue school outside the public school system, begin college, or die. TEA has been reporting annual and longitudinal dropout and completion rates using this definition for five years.
For further information about the NCES definition of a dropout, see the TEA Annual Report on Secondary School Completion and Dropouts.
The NGA four-year, on-time graduation rate is a formula for calculating graduation rates. The NCES dropout definition defines who a dropout is for federal reporting purposes. TEA uses the NGA four-year, on-time graduation rate to calculate graduation rates and uses the NCES dropout definition to count dropouts when calculating dropout rates and graduation rates.
Research indicates the chances of a student dropping out greatly increase when a student has poor grades in core subjects, has low attendance, fails to be promoted to the next grade, or has behavioral problems.
A disproportionate number of dropouts are economically disadvantaged, come from non-English speaking backgrounds, are African American or are Hispanic. Male students have higher dropout rates than female students.
The majority of students drop out in high school. Grade 12 had the highest number of dropouts in the 2009-10 school year, and grade 9 had the second highest number of dropouts.
Texas is recognized by the National Governors Association for creating policies that promote graduation and prevent dropouts.
You can learn about some of the effective policies in place in Texas and other states by downloading the report Achieving Graduation for All: A Governor's Guide to Dropout Prevention and Recovery.
Annual Rate. A student who quits in one school year, returns in a later school year, and quits again is counted as a dropout in the annual dropout rate for each year.
Longitudinal Completion and Dropout Rate. In the longitudinal completion rate, if, by the time a student's class is expected to graduate, the student has dropped out, then the student is counted once as a dropout, even if a student dropped out more than once. If the student returns to school and graduates by the time the student's class is expected to graduate, the student is counted as a graduate.
As a recognized national leader, Texas implements proven research-based strategies to prevent dropouts. Texas has found that the most effective dropout prevention strategies include challenging and personalized learning environments, role models and mentors, academic support to help struggling students catch up, and using data systems to identify struggling students for early intervention.
For more on proven dropout prevention strategies, please visit TEA Dropout Prevention Strategies.
Texas has been recognized by Achieve, a national non-profit organization that helps states raise standards, as the only state in the nation to fully adopt a college and career readiness agenda. Research shows that strategies that improve the rigor and relevance of instruction to ensure students have the necessary skills to graduate and succeed in college and the workplace are effective in reducing dropouts.
You can read about Texas' progress on the college and career ready agenda in Achieve's Closing the Expectations Gap, 2010.
You can learn more about how rigorous and relevant instruction reduces dropouts in the Institute for Education Sciences (IES) Dropout Prevention Practice Guide.

In the 2010 - 2011 biennium, TEA allocated approximately $270 million in state and $238 million in federal funding for targeted dropout prevention and recovery initiatives. The state additionally allocated $678 million in High School Allotment and approximately $6 billion in Compensatory Education Allotment funds to school districts. In 2010, approximately $321 million in federal funding also became available for the Texas Title I Priority Schools Grant. High schools with low graduation rates were one category of schools eligible for this additional funding to support school improvement efforts. The table of Dropout Prevention and Recovery Initiatives (PDF) provides program information with corresponding funding amounts.

Electronic Arts Responds to Copy Protection Outcry, Removes 10-day SecuROM Check for the TroopsBioWare producer Derek French recently caused an uproar after announcing that copy protection on the PC editions of Mass Effect and Spore would require online validation every 10 days in order for the games to continue functioning.
In the face of increasing pressure, BioWare and publisher Electronic Arts today relented, updating the official Mass Effect PC FAQ to note that validation will now only be required when the player downloads new game content.
Q: If the game isn't going to require an authentication every 10 days, will it ever require re-authentication?Electronic Arts also released a statement mentioning that Spore's copy protection will be similarly changed to allow for offline play, only requiring validation on a patch or game content update.
A: Only if the player chooses to download new game content.
The publisher further noted that the protection will still only allow users to authenticate each game on up to three computers. Approval of further authorizations will be handled by EA customer support on a case-by-case basis. Neither game will require players to have the disc in their computer in order to play or validate them.
BioWare community manager Jay Watamaniuk broke the news on the company's official forums.
"To all the fans including our many friends in the armed services and internationally who expressed concerns that they would not be able re-authenticate as often as required, EA and BioWare want you to know that your feedback is important to us," said Watamaniuk.

(WNFL) - Green Bay Packers' offensive tackle Derek Sherrod is practicing in full pads today for the first time since he broke his left leg in two places in December of 2011. He took part in a lighter workout yesterday, his first practice of the season. Coach Mike McCarthy says Sherrod will be helped immensely by taking part in today's individual drills. McCarthy also said his staff will be smart about breaking-in Sherrod during the scrimmage-type team drills. The coach said it would not be wise just to throw him into the fire and let him play 55 snaps in pads, considering what he's been through. McCarthy said he would just try to get Sherrod broken in and quote, "push as far as we can." Sherrod was the Packers' first-round draft choice in 2011. He said he feels fine physically, and has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Sherrod says he's confident he can help the Packers this season, if he can stay healthy and get into a playing rotation. The Packers are getting ready for their Sunday home game against Cleveland. The Pack is 3-and-2. The Browns are 3-and-3.

Cache, Supervision.
Part or Inspection Report on the
Cache National Forest by R. P.
Imes, Chier or Operation.
. "
.. .. .. ...
Ma 3, 1909.
In Mr. Hodges' letter or January 30 to Mr . Robert
S. Spence, Evanston, Wyoming, extract or which is attached
hereto, he has complained that the HOdges Land, Live Stock
and Eilling Company has been systematically "educed from
year to year in the number of sheep they have been allowed
to graze on the Forest. In this respect it is only neces-gary
to state that this company is in the same position as
all other companies or individuals on the Cache National
Forest as the applications ror r-razing permits are much
larger than the capacity or the Forest. It is necessary
to make a systematic reduction, which has been done.
Mr. Hodges has made special complaints abou t the
permi ts issued to Ezra Howell, l!ephi Williams, Joseph It.o rfat,
Quill Nebeker, aleo two of his sons, Joseph and Tom.
Mr . Howell owns ::'10 acres of land wi thin four miles
or the Forest. Has f,razed 150 head of cattle on the range
for twenty years. Last year he applied as a new beginner
for a permit to graze 500 head or sheep . The maximum
allowed new beginners last year was 600 head. The approval
or Mr . Howell's permit for 50-0- -head as a new beginner, can .....
not be questioned.
Nephi Williams owns 160 acres of improved land
within two miles of the Forest. Pas used the range for
thirty years for cattle and horses and feeds one hundred
tone of hay. Last year as a new beginner he applied to
graze 500 head of sheep on the Forest. The approval of his
permit cannot be questioned. ?
Joseph Moffa.t owns 173 acres of improved land wi th-in
four miles of the Fore st. He feeds his sheep on hjs home
ranch and has used the ranp:e for cattle and horses thirty-eil'"
ht years . Last yea.r he sold his cattle, bought sheep,
and applied as a new beginner to graze 4~0 head 0f sheep
on the Forest. The approval of his permit cannot be ques.-;>
tioned • .:
The Nebeker Brothers consist of John and Hiram
who are sheep ovmers and own individual ranches , and Frank
and Horace who are attorneys in Logan, Utah. The l'ebeker
Brothers, as a firm, own the property formerly o'llped by
their father which consists of six hundred acres of farminp:
land, and twen ty-fi ve hundred acres of fall I'razinp; land.
The firm of Nebeker Brothers bought the land from the estate
after their father's death. They sold the cattle and
bought sheep· They feed the sheep on the home ranch. Last
year as new beginners this firm applied to ~raze 15RO head
on the Forest. The maximum allowed for new bel'"inners was 600
Their permit was approved for this number and they secured
from the state a permit to 8razo 9~0 head. It apnears
that the ri~ht of the Nebeker Brothers to have tMeir
permi t approved for the.)maximum allowed new hoe-inners
cannot be questioned ,7the fact that they secured a permit
to fraze 950 head of sheep on the state land has no bearin~
on the case as it is entirely within the hands of the
state officials .
In 1907 Quill Nebeker had a permi t for 1?00 head
of sheep on Forest land and 1500 on private lands . In 190r
he applied to graze 5000 head. His permit was approved to
rraze 2000 head on the Forest and 294!'i head ()n private land.
He actually owns 5000 head of eheep and has used the ranr:e
for aheep twenty yeara and ~ra7.ed from 2500 to 5000 head .
The fact that his permit was approved for a larger nt~ror
in 1908 than in 1907 i a explained by the fact that durin!'"
1907 he had sold off a large number of his sheep and had
since bought a better p,rade of sheep . He owns 1963 . 76
acres of private land in the Forest . He was !,"ranted in
exchange for the exclusive use of this land, permits for
sheep at the rate of one and a half sheep to the acre .
In discussing this question with Mr. HOdpes re stated that
he had no idea Mr. Nebeker was such a lare-e holder of pri-vate
l and within the Forest . On receivinr thia infornation
he apparently had no complaint whatever.
The Hodges Land, Live Stock and l'ilUne; Company
during the season of 1908 apnlied to graze 3600 head of
sheep in the Forest· Their permit was approved to rraze 2709
in Forest land and 660 head on private land, total :'5:169 head.
Thi s fact shows that the company Vias granted a permit to graze
a larger number on the Forest than was Mr. Quill Nebeker against
whom he enters the most complaint. Had Mr. Hodees owned an
equal acreae;e of' private land within the Forest to !.II'. Nebeker,
his permit would have been approved in fUll.
It appears to me that there has been no diRcriminating
ar,a.inst Mr. Hodres in the matter of grazinr unless it
be that the area on whi ell they were allowed to (,raze does
not equal in quality and area that of other applic 'tnts.
It was of course impossible to secure any data on this fact
at this time of the year. I might state, rowever, that
the annual report of Guard Christensen stated the water was
scarce on the range which this company had and that feed
on the area allotted to them was not of the very best
quali ty .
In conversation with Mr . Hodges and hie son who
herded his sheep during the summer, I was infonned that at
the time they removed their sheep from the Forest there was
considerable feed on adjacent area s they could as Vlell have
us ,'d provided Christensen had allowed them to enter and use
the feed. They stated Chri s tensen olaimed that the area they
-2 .1
desired was allotted to other nheep ~razers who were
cominr on the area l ater . The orricer in charre of the
district at the time or ~y inspection told me that in hi~
judgment there was no good reason for Christensen refUsing
to allow Hodges to Graze a portion of the aroa in question
as after al l sheep were removed from the Forest t.here was
a lot of feed remaining which could as well have been used.
I informed Mr. Hodges that Mr . Clark in Christensen ' s report
had record of the fact that his al lo tment was not
of the very best and assured him that the coming season
more attention would be paid to his allotment and an effort
would be made to furnish him good and SUfficient feed f'or all
sheep he was permitted to ~raze on the Forest. I have no
doubt that Supervisor Clark and Ranrer Phelan will rive the
subject very careful attention and feel confident that Mr.
Hodges will have no complaint to make the oomingl'"razing
season . I think no special action need be taken on this
matter by the Office of Grazing a t this timefurt~er than
to write a memo to be included in a letter to Senator Smoot .

a~ainst the men who are pretending to run this Forest Reserve
whi ch a ffeots me financially just as bad as the ruin of my lumber
business . It is a"hout how we al"e treated v;i tJ' repo.rd to the
e:razirg of' our Sheep on the iteserve. \':e fee l th!l.t we nave been
mistreated, and "hadly di scriminated again st in thi A matter , as
well as in the lumber business .
I must fi ret elCplain, however, that Vie as a family as
you already know, have organized ourselves into !1 60rporate
Company known as the Hodges Land, Live Stock and Milling Company"
The sharehclders are all members of my own family and all are
more than 21 years old, and have always cast a good solid Repub-lican
For Beveral years previous to the Forest Officers
taklng charge of the ranE'e , we ran about 4,000 breedine-, ewes .
The first year under their control we were allowed to run ~600
ewes by their permit which to/,"ether with the number Vie were
a] lovled for our rani'e land, which we have bought from the
State, equal led about 4 , 000 head, the numbpr we wanted to carry.
Everything went right until 1907 when we were cut dOVin to about
3,200 head besides a few which wcre allowed for our own range
land . This cut compelled ue to sell off some of our sheep, and
we were only able to run two I,erds in stead of three. J aet year
the Forest officers made another cut on us of about 500 head,
and only ~ave us a permit for about ?' , 700 head of sheep in Rddi
tion to a few allowed for our State land· You can see Brother
Robert, that this treatment is ruinous to our business and has
already damar;ed us in a large amount: but this is not all that
we have suffered. They have not allowed us enoue;h range for our
sileep , after having paid for it. Last year they confined us to
a small portion of' the range where th ere was no t much feed or
water after the month of August. Water was so scarce that the
herders could not keep the sheep together, and we lost 170 head
in one night, and never have been able to find them again , although
we had men looking. for them for a month at least. Conditions
became so bact that we had to move our flocks off the Reserve
one month before our grazinr privilere expired, and for
which we had paid .
This treatment from the Forest officers is the more unbearable,
because we know that most of our neighbors are not only
not confined to their original grazing privileges, but are having
them greatly extended in thi s neif,hborhC'od.
If the Forest records were examined it would be found
the following persons have net beer' curtailed, but on the ccntrary
have had their grazjng privileges extended:- Ezra Howell,
Nephi Willj.ams, Joseph Poffat , Nebeker Bros., Quill Nebeker ,
and two of my own sons last year, viz:-Joseph and Tom sold out
their interest in our COJ11pany and rou['"ht land and wen t into the
sheep business on their own account , and each one of them was
allowed the personal pt'ovilege of grazing about l'"'or J'ead. Quill
Nebeker and Nebeker Bros. have been the IT'ost hie-hly lavoured
of anybo~ on this range . Indeed it is corr~on talk that the
Nebeker family own this Forest Reserve. We have never heard
of their being curtailed · Nebeker Brothers e:razing nrivileges
were greatly extended last year, and Quill Nebeker 'Pas allowed
to personally graze about 6,000 head of sheep last year, whereas
on no previous year did he ever ~raze more than about ~,OOO head.
As a family we organized into a company for the better
management and control of our property. There are eleven adults
who ovm an i.nterest in our sheep, and if they were equally divided
amon~ us , we would each own less than 400 head, and then
to he curtailed at the rate of about 500 head per year on our
herds as has been the case durinF the past two years , makes us
feel as though the parti es in control of thi:3 thin£' ,':ere determined
to ruin us, and we feel this treatment particularly painful
when we know of the p'reat privileres given to Quill Nebeker
and others. n * .r,. ~.

Steam UI Update Rolls Out Monday"After two months in beta and over twenty updates, the Steam Client UI Update is slated to release to all Steam users this coming Monday, April 26," operator Valve has declared.
Though branded as a mere "UI Update," the changes it brings to the digital distribution platform extend beyond a new look.
For one, the new client offers "syndicated feeds from top computer gaming sources," including Shacknews. The underlying technology has also changed, with Steam now powered by "WebKit based rendering engine" instead of Internet Explorer.
Valve is also readying a Mac client of Steam, which will offer native Mac versions of Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal and the Half-Life series when it launches before the end of April 2010. Thanks thearrow756.

text: Sydney Information When you visit Sydney Destination Routes Etihad Offices Facts The City Do & See Dining Essential Information When most people think of Australia, they think of Sydney. The Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are two of the most recognizable images of the modern world. While Sydney Harbour provides a perfect backdrop to the white 'sails' of the Sydney Opera House, the Opera House itself, with its distinct silhouette, has become a symbol of Sydney. This, however, is only one side of the city. Sydney is a place of many layers, like the sandstone upon which it is built. The visitor can explore these layers to gain a deeper understanding of Sydney and its history. They can discover how Sydney grew from a penal colony of several hundred people in 1788, to a modern city of over 4 million people today. Facts Population A little over 4 million Currency Australian Dollar (AUD) $1 = 100 cents Opening hours Most shops are open 9 am-5 pm daily, with late night trading on Thursday to 9 pm. Newspapers Sydney Morning Herald The Australian Sunday Australian Daily Telegraph Sunday Telegraph Tourist information Cnr of Argyle and Playfair St, The Rocks Tel: +61 2 9265 - 9007 Mon-Fri 9.30 am-5.30 pm When the First Fleet arrived in Sydney in 1788, Aboriginal people were already living in Australia. Aboriginal settlement in Australia dates back at least 40.000 years. The Aboriginal people who lived in Sydney were proud, self-sufficient people. Sydney developed as a maritime city and was a very busy port. Today many of the old inner-city wharves have been redeveloped, and places such as the Walsh Bay wharves and Darling Harbour are home to theatres, shops, restaurants and hotels. Historic areas such as the Rocks, Millers Point and Woolloomooloo, which housed the hundreds of workers from the wharves and the docks of Sydney, are now great places for visitors to explore. Sydney's eastern suburbs are to be found along the southern shores of the harbour and are easily accessible by bus or ferry. Oxford Street, the home of the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, extends from the city to Paddington and there is much to see and do along the way. Nearby, Kings Cross is Australia's most densely populated area. It remains a popular destination for visitors. Around the northern edges of the harbour there are many interesting places to explore such as Mosman, Manly and - further north - the northern beaches. In older inner-city suburbs such as Balmain, Paddington and Glebe visitors can see glimpses of Victorian, Edwardian and 1920´s architecture hidden among modern buildings, as well as occasional reminders of early colonial times. There are many interesting walks in these areas, with lots of cafés, restaurants and shops along the way. Visitors can explore Sydney harbour and the Parramatta River by ferry, going as far west as historic Parramatta, settled in 1788 - now the demographic centre for the Sydney metropolitan region. Over the past 25 years, Sydney has become the undisputed financial, media, tourist and political capital of Australia and the site of its most expensive real estate. But it is the bushland and harbour vistas that capture one's attention. International migration has shaped Sydney more than any other Australian city. Sydney is a metropolis of great cultural diversity. Migrants have enriched almost every aspect of Australian life - from business to the arts, from cooking to comedy and from science to sport. Australians enjoy a huge range of food in restaurants and homes, reflecting the country's cultural diversity. Sydney has been voted the world's number one city for a record-breaking 9th year in a row in the Condé Nast Traveler Reader's Choice Awards. Sydney's world ranking can be largely attributed to the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, when the city established its presence on the world stage. Sydney's beautiful situation gives a gilt edge to many of the city's sights. For the history enthusiast, of course, the place is a dream from the aborigines' maybe 60.000 year history, to the arrival of the colonists just over 200 years ago. Sydney Harbour Bridge The Sydney Harbour Bridge reaches across Sydney Harbour, carrying rail, bicycle, vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the North Shore and Sydney central business district. The arching steel bridge is often referred to as "the coathanger" because of the design. It measures 134 meters (440 ft) from the top to the water level.The company BridgeClimb offers the public a chance to climb up and stand at the summit of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Do you like brag books? Wouldn't a brag book of baby themed pages be the perfect gift or precious album to keep for yourself!
Here's the perfect opportunity! Endearing is being featured in this brag book exchange!
Create at least one, and up to three brag book pages using
The Endearing Kit
and receive these two brag book pages by me, as well as all the other participating pages!
BUT, if you use another piece of the series (styles, wordart, clusters, or alpha), you'll ALSO get these fantastic coordinating
Endearing Watercolor Solids!
They're perfect for soft, sweet baby pages!
The collection is on sale through November 11th!
Here's the Scoop:
Guidelines: UPLOADING GUIDELINES HAVE CHANGED SO PLEASE READ
* Each participant will submit at least 1, 4X6 brag book page but not more than 3 using this kit only (but you may include any commercial use supplies as well). Please put all of your pages on 1 preview page to upload to the gallery to prevent any non-participants from using these pages.
* Sign-ups are requested for this so that we know who is working on pages. Reply here to say you are planning on participating.
* Layouts should be created and saved at 4" x 6" and 300ppi starting with a transparent background. Your photo areas should be transparent when you are done.
* If you are not familiar with the process of creating a quick page, we have a couple of tutorials to help you in this area: Paint Shop Pro & Photoshop
* If you are unable to create a .png file, please design your quick page by creating your layout and using a white or black area (whichever is of most contrast to your layout) for the photo placements. Save your layout as a flattened .jpg file at full resolution (unless you are submitting a png file already). Please share this file and then post in this thread that you need help poking the holes for the pictures and I will help do those for you.
* Please name your files as follows to help me track these easier. YourForumName_KitName_bb1.png so as an example, mine would be j_camargo6_endearing_bb1.png.
* Post your preview of your bb pages all on one layout at 600x600 and upload it to the Brag Book Exchange Gallery for everyone to see!
* I will need the .png file(s) at the full 4X6 size for each brag book page you submit. Please do not upload the preview to the QP folder below...just the png quick page files.
****NEW***: In an effort to get you the albums much quicker after the exchange is over, we're implementing a new way for us to share the files.
* Please upload JUST THE FULL PNG FILES to the Endearing Brag Book Exchange Folder
* Toward the bottom of the screen you will see an "Upload Files" small window. Click the browse button inside there and navigate to your PNG files and choose that to upload.
* Your computer will then upload the file so it may take a minute or two. After the upload is completed, you will not see anything in this folder or even see anything to tell you it was successful but I'll let you know if there's a problem.
* Please post here that you uploaded so I can make sure it came through OK.
* Once the exchange is over, I will figure out who hasn't uploaded or has a problem with their files and when all is good will make it so that you can see all the files that everyone uploads and then you can download them!
* The submission deadline for this round is end of the day on November 11, 2009. Please have your images posted and uploaded by then so I can get them out to everyone. I will be sending out all of the bonuses for this on November 16th (I know it's a bit of a wait, but I'll be out of town for the last part of the week).
Please post in this thread if you'd like to be included, and I'll add you to the list!

A glycosylated hemoglobin test (HbA1c) is a blood test that measures the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein found in the blood. Glycosylated hemoglobin means that glucose (sugar) has attached to the hemoglobin protein. The higher your blood sugar is, the more that glucose gets attached to your hemoglobin.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
HbA1c shows how high your blood sugar levels have been during the past three months. This can help your doctor determine how well you are controlling your
diabetes. Your doctor may also use HbA1c to test you for diabetes.
There are no major complications associated with this test.
You will roll up your sleeve. An elastic band will be wrapped around your upper arm. An area on your arm will be cleaned with alcohol. The needle will then be inserted into your arm. A small amount of blood will be drawn into a tube. The needle will be removed. Pressure will be applied to the puncture site. A small bandage may be placed on the site. Your blood will be sent to a lab for testing.
Apply pressure to the site until bleeding stops.
Less than five minutes
It may hurt slightly when the needle is inserted.
Talk with your doctor about when you should be tested again.
