It is better for a woman to wear socks even if her garment covers her feet
If a womans abiah is long enough to cover her feet does she have to wear socks?
Praise be to Allaah.
The Muslim woman is required to cover all of her body in front of men. Hence she is allowed to let her garment drag by being a cubit longer in order to cover her feet. What the woman has to do is to cover her feet either by wearing a loose and long garment or by wearing socks or the like. If she covers her feet then she does not have to wear socks, but if she wears socks this will be more covering, so it is recommended. And Allaah knows best.

The Sixers are putting a lot of their eggs in the basket marked "Michael Carter Williams Develops A Jumpshot." Hopefully it pays off.
Xavier Silas reportedly received a promise from the Sixers to be invited to their training camp. Who the heck is he?
Doug always puts a positive spin on things, warranted or not. Sounds like he really wanted both Vucevic and Allen.
Your first look at the newest Sixers ... in suits.
Mike and I did this on the fly while he was driving home from the draft. Fear not, it's only 30 minutes. However; the mood is considerably less giddy than the pre-draft pod – naturally. PS: Sorry for the background noise! Michael was in the rain.
Donnie Walsh failed in his final NBA Draft with the New York Knicks.
The Sixers are averaging out to about a C in the draft grades the morning after.
The 2011 NBA Draft is unarguably the best day of the year so it makes sense that Ridiculous Upside didn't sleep the entire day to soak it all up. This is good for the readers, too, because that means we've got you covered on everything you missed while sleeping.
Nobody expected the Detroit Pistons to draft yet another guard, but at this stage of the rebuilding game, you draft talent and fit pieces around it, not the other way around.
Kyrie Irving didn't seem too overjoyed about being the No. 1 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2011 NBA Draft. Maybe that's because he's been preparing for this moment for a long time.

Geolocation with GeoIP¶
In Django 1.4, the GeoIP object was moved out of django.contrib.gis.utils and into its own module, django.contrib.gis.geoip. A shortcut is still provided in utils, but will be removed in Django 1.6.
The GeoIP object is a ctypes wrapper for the MaxMind GeoIP C API. [1]
In order to perform IP-based geolocation, the GeoIP object requires the GeoIP C libary and either the GeoIP Country or City datasets in binary format (the CSV files will not work!). These datasets may be downloaded from MaxMind. Grab the GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz and GeoLiteCity.dat.gz files and unzip them in a directory corresponding to what you set GEOIP_PATH with in your settings. See the example and reference below for more details.
Assuming you have the GeoIP C library installed, here is an example of its usage:
>>> from django.contrib.gis.utils import GeoIP
>>> g = GeoIP()
>>> g.country('google.com')
{'country_code': 'US', 'country_name': 'United States'}
>>> g.city('126.96.36.199')
{'area_code': 650,
'city': 'Mountain View',
'country_code': 'US',
'country_code3': 'USA',
'country_name': 'United States',
'dma_code': 807,
'latitude': 37.419200897216797,
'longitude': -122.05740356445312,
'postal_code': '94043',
'region': 'CA'}
>>> g.lat_lon('salon.com')
(37.789798736572266, -122.39420318603516)
>>> g.lon_lat('uh.edu')
(-95.415199279785156, 29.77549934387207)
>>> g.geos('188.8.131.52').wkt
GeoIP Settings¶
A string specifying the directory where the GeoIP data files are located. This setting is required unless manually specified with path keyword when initializing the GeoIP object.
A string specifying the location of the GeoIP C library. Typically, this setting is only used if the GeoIP C library is in a non-standard location (e.g., /home/sue/lib/libGeoIP.so).
The basename to use for the GeoIP country data file. Defaults to 'GeoIP.dat'.
The basename to use for the GeoIP city data file. Defaults to 'GeoLiteCity.dat'.
GeoIP API¶
- class GeoIP([path=None, cache=0, country=None, city=None])¶
The GeoIP object does not require any parameters to use the default settings. However, at the very least the GEOIP_PATH setting should be set with the path of the location of your GeoIP data sets. The following intialization keywords may be used to customize any of the defaults.
|Keyword Arguments
|Base directory to where GeoIP data is located or the full path to where the city or country data files (.dat) are located. Assumes that both the city and country data sets are located in this directory; overrides the GEOIP_PATH settings attribute.
|The cache settings when opening up the GeoIP datasets, and may be an integer in (0, 1, 2, 4) corresponding to the GEOIP_STANDARD, GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE, GEOIP_CHECK_CACHE, and GEOIP_INDEX_CACHE GeoIPOptions C API settings, respectively. Defaults to 0 (GEOIP_STANDARD).
|The name of the GeoIP country data file. Defaults to GeoIP.dat. Setting this keyword overrides the GEOIP_COUNTRY settings attribute.
|The name of the GeoIP city data file. Defaults to GeoLiteCity.dat. Setting this keyword overrides the GEOIP_CITY settings attribute.
GeoIP Methods¶
All the following querying routines may take either a string IP address or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, both '18.104.22.168' and 'djangoproject.com' would be valid query parameters.
- GeoIP.city(query)¶
Returns a dictionary of city information for the given query. Some of the values in the dictionary may be undefined (None).
- GeoIP.country(query)¶
Returns a dictionary with the country code and country for the given query.
- GeoIP.country_code(query)¶
Returns only the country code corresponding to the query.
- GeoIP.country_name(query)¶
Returns only the country name corresponding to the query.
Coordinate Retrieval¶
- GeoIP.coords(query)¶
Returns a coordinate tuple of (longitude, latitude).
- GeoIP.lon_lat(query)¶
Returns a coordinate tuple of (longitude, latitude).
- GeoIP.lat_lon(query)¶
Returns a coordinate tuple of (latitude, longitude),
- GeoIP.geos(query)¶
Returns a django.contrib.gis.geos.Point object corresponding to the query.
Database Information¶
- GeoIP.country_info¶
This property returns information about the GeoIP country database.
- GeoIP.city_info¶
This property returns information about the GeoIP city database.
- GeoIP.info¶
This property returns information about all GeoIP databases (both city and country), and the version of the GeoIP C library (if supported).
GeoIP-Python API compatibility methods¶
These methods exist to ease compatibility with any code using MaxMind's existing Python API.
- classmethod GeoIP.open(path, cache)¶
This classmethod instantiates the GeoIP object from the given database path and given cache setting.
- GeoIP.region_by_addr(query)¶
- GeoIP.region_by_name(query)¶
- GeoIP.record_by_addr(query)¶
- GeoIP.record_by_name(query)¶
- GeoIP.country_code_by_addr(query)¶
- GeoIP.country_code_by_name(query)¶
- GeoIP.country_name_by_addr(query)¶
- GeoIP.country_name_by_name(query)¶

Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance) >Automotive Repair > Paint & Body Perfectors
4415 Nolensville Pike, Nashville, TN | Directions 3721136.072750 -86.724987
Monday 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Tuesday 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Wednesday 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Thursday 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Friday 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM
I highly recommend Paint and Body Perfectors. I had an accident with my car the night before I was flying from Nashville to Maine for two weeks. So I had to find a company that would work with me long distance. I picked P&BP from a list given to me by my insurance company because they had an A+ record with the Better Business Bureau for 11 years. That high score is well-deserved. They picked my car up from the hotel where it was parked, fixed the damage completely and expertly, and returned the car to the same spot. in fact, if they hadn't left the protective paper on the floor of the driver's side, I would not have been able to tell my car had ever been damaged. The business is family-owned, and they like people and treat them as they would want to be treated. I never actually met them, but next time I'm in Nashville, I plan to stop by. This is the way businesses should be run!
Simply the best – From the minute you arrive for your estimate to delivery of your repaired automobile, you are treated like you are the ONLY customer! One of the owners John Blanks, is the person you will probably see for your estimate which is very competitive and fair. The business is very receptive to seniors and women and treat them with dignity and respect and do not try to take advantage of them because of their gender or age. The work is impeccable and they staff is great too! I have recommended them to my church listserve and everyone I know. If you want great service and quality work, PAINT & BODY Perfectors is the place to go! I really appreciate the shuttle service for my senior parent after he left his car and them coming and getting him to pick up his car. John and David have an excellent business that excels because of their "golden rule" philosphy. State of the art facility, Would not go anywhere else!
1993 LEXUS – I have had two experiences with this company. I had a 1993 Lexus that had damage to the front panel. They repaired it and repainted.. I could not tell the difference. I also had a 1991 Nissan Stanza that needed painting. It would have cost way too much for them but they recommmended a Franchise Company that could do it. It was a good job and I appreciate their helpfulness. Now I am haveing a 2007 Azera's hail damage corrected. I expect it too will be great.
ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY – What incredible people! I was in a wreck and needed some minor repairs done to the body of the car. They got it done in 2 days, but when I picked it up, I got it down the road it broke down. This was due to previous problems and was not their fault, but the owner and his office manager sat with me until we were able to get it towed, and they even took me home. The owner of this shop is a stand-up man with a great heart. I am forever grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and incredible customer service!
Disappointing experience – I had the assembly and driver-side mirror on my Hyundai Sonata replaced; the assembly on passenger-side mirror was cracked but the mirror was intact and they were supposed to epoxy it back together. I was originally told the car would be ready the SAME day (that is, I could leave it in the morning and get it back by late afternoon). But that did not happen, of course. I had to leave the car for TWO FULL DAYS for a repair that should have taken three hours. I was told to pick up the car at 5:15; they closed at 5:30. So I got the rush job when I went to retrieve the car, and thus had no opportunity to talk with the service manager about the repairs. The repair on the driver-side mirror just looks OK; it does not look like they did anything to the passenger-side mirror. The paint on the driver-side repair does not really match the original color. I will not use this body shop again.

I found the site while searching for some sort of fantasy cycling group. Although, I've already missed the first race, I look forward to it as it will be a new experience for me.
As for myself, I'm a casual rider who transferred from off-road to road cycling about two years ago. I have an '09 Cervelo S1 with basic componentry and a late-90s Trek something or other mountain bike. I tried racing a Cat. 5 race once, but found that racing was way more difficult than I thought. I guess it doesn't help trying to drag a 255 lb. frame up over hills. Now I'm in it just for the joy of riding and improving my velocity and overall endurance. Thanks for having me.

I have been looking for well made cooking/food themed embellishments and this is just lovely. There is a little sparkle on the mixture in the bowl and the eggs are epoxy. I will buy more as soon as they are in stock (I am making one cookbook for each child, so I'll need several of these). They're not cheap, but I think they are worth the price.
Too Cute!

Olive all'Ascolana
Author Notes: I am an olive fiend, and for me, this dish is the ultimate snack food. Olives, stuffed with a savory goat cheese, breaded and fried until crisp, and topped with a shaving of sharp cheese, lemon zest, and a spritz of lemon. I do hope you like them! - arielleclementine - arielleclementine
Food52 Review: This high-low snack can work just as easily for a movie snack as it can for a dinner party hors d'oeuvres. These crunchy little flavor bombs come out of the hot oil looking like hedgehogs with a shaggy brown coating of panko. Inside is a layer of tangy olive and then rosemary-and-dried chile scented goat cheese. They hold up well, so you can fry them up to an hour in advance; just keep them warm in a low oven. And chill some prosecco. - A&M - A&M
Serves 2 dozen
- 24 large green olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped fine
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (fresh or panko)
- 1/3 cup parmigiano reggiano, or similar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- parmigiano reggiano, for sprinkling
- zest and juice from one lemon, for sprinkling
- In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, mustard seed, rosemary, chile flakes, and garlic. Stuff the olives with the cheese mixture (I like to use my fingers, but you could also use a piping bag if you're really classy). Put the stuffed olives on a plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes, to let the cheese firm up.
- While the olives are chilling, heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan to 375 degrees.
- Set up three plates for your breading station. Put the flour on one plate, the beaten egg on the next, and mix the bread crumbs and cheese on the last plate.
- When the olives have chilled, roll half of them in the flour, then in the egg, then in the bread crumbs and carefully drop them into the heated oil. Fry until golden brown, about one minute per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and repeat with the remaining olives.
- Pile on a plate and finish with a shower of freshly grated cheese and lemon zest and a spritz of lemon.
- Your Best Movie Snack Contest Winner!

I just made these and my husband and I love them! Goes wonderful with a martini! Thank you!

I ate these almost every day during my time in Ascoli Piceno. Bought from Migliori's and served in a paper cone, I savored them outside in the warm summer air. While these are a bit different with the goat cheese filling, I'm looking forward to having a taste of that summer again.

Love this recipe! Thanks so much for showing me how to recreate this at home for my famiglia which I will be doing very soon.

Made these for a New Year's Eve party. Yum! Everyone wanted to help fry them, so it was fun to cook, too. Even my husband loved them, and he isn't an olive guy. Mine didn't turn out as pretty as yours, but they sure tasted great. I had a hard time getting them breaded uniformly.

I made these for a dinner party last night and my guests LOVED them (also made the creamy stuffed mushrooms). I made over 30 olives and I still had a little filling left over - which will be great on crackers. I used a pastry bag to pipe in the filing. I am not experienced at frying - the first few olives fell apart so I increased the heat and did not touch them until they were really brown on one side before flipping. Perfection. Per other posters, you can make these ahead of time and throw them in a low oven to keep warm - they actually held all evening. I put the remaining (3) olives in the fridge and had them for breakfast. Even without re-heating the breading held. Will definitely make again - the only change might be to make the holes in the olives larger (per another poster's suggestion) to accommodate more filling.

I served these yesterday at my Christmas party, and they were a hit. Still delicious at room temperature, and the lemon zest at the end really makes the dish. Thanks for a great recipe!
over 2 years ago arielleclementine
oh thank you! so happy you liked them! i agree about the lemon zest- it helps perk everything up :)

I'm back with another report because I am making these regularly. We had quite a few left over the other night and I tossed them into a baggie and reheated them in a warm toaster oven the next day. Frankly, they weren't noticeably different than after being held in a warming oven for an hour. In other words, the coating held well, they weren't greasy . . . we downed them pretty easily!
about 3 years ago micook
I made these for friends last month and did let them sit in a warm (165 degrees) oven for probably close to an hour and they were fine. In fact, I'm going to make them for Easter and plan to do the same. Actually, I had leftover ones on the counter and they were still very tasty the next day at room temperature, so I don't think you have to worry.

Great! Thanks I look forward to making, eating & sharing. Can't think of a better combo.

I want to make these to bring as an appetizer to an Easter party on Sunday. Will they get soggy if I fry them and then wait about an hour to serve? They look so yummy I can't wait to try!
about 3 years ago arielleclementine
i second micook's experience- i've happily eaten these an hour or more after cooking them. i hope you like them!
over 3 years ago aricooks
oh.my.yum! I am happy to report that I will be making this recipe from Israel, where the goat cheese and olives are abundant, delicious and (relatively) inexpensive. Thank you!
about 4 years ago Amber
My husband's family is from this region in Italy (don't ask me to spell it), so making the fried olives is a family tradition. They would be surprised by a goat cheese stuffing (since they are usually made with ground meat or fish), but this sounds delicious... and easier without the corkscrewing.
To simplify Wolfert's technique a little, we buy pitted large olives. Then you corkscrew the olive to maximize the amount of filling you can squeeze in. We usually use a combination of ground pork with garlic, sage and parmesan for stuffing. Then I bread them in fresh breadcrumbs, because I find panko is more likely to fall off when you deep fry them.

Be careful what you wish for. Here in Arizona where I'm woefully stationed, they will deep fry anything including your hotel room pillow. And then they'll put sliced jalapenos on it with queso fresco. Thankfully they haven't figured out IED's yet.

Still not fixed
This game still isn't as fun because you still have to pay with in game money the challenges to unlock blades and wallpapers were the best part but no since in telling the dev team they just trash your messages. Hey half brick how about listening to customers for once
We pay for it!
I haven't played fruit ninja in a while, and after I updated it. I don't remember ads in it!
Either halfbrick is being cheap or that the fact that they already sell star fruit for max 50$!
Really halfbrick, really?
Disappointed with ads
I paid for the game so that I would not have ads popping up, but now, after the update, they do. Still love the game and would give it 5 stars, but do not like the ads.

Increasing Mental Focus
Regardless of task, a fair amount of concentration is required, regardless of whether the work is manual or intellectual. A short attention span is not only a problem with kids who have not yet fully understood that they need to concentrate, but also with adults. There are instances of forgetting where we kept things of daily use, and there are also times when we find ourselves totally out of focus and unable to concentrate on whatever task we are doing.
Adult attention span issues can greatly interfere with a person's ability to complete jobs and meet deadlines. Much depends upon the lifestyle and the type of food that one eats. Brian functioning is also dependent upon how and how much you use your brain.
Most of us do not realize that the human brain has an enormous capacity to store information. If you are keeping yourself involved in irrelevant activities and are not in the habit of analyzing situations, you are not using your brain to its optimal capacity. Your brain is the seat of the faculty of reasoning. The more you reason out things, the more capable it becomes of storing information and recalling it at the appropriate time. One of the best ways of increasing mental focus and concentration is to develop the habit of viewing things in an analytic way. There are also certain adult memory products like intellectual games that can help to a great extent to improve mental focus.
The food that you eat can also affect concentration. Modern diets are more focused on a high carbohydrate content. A balanced diet that contains proteins and carbohydrates in the recommended ratios is better suited for improving brain functioning and concentration. Try to reduce carbohydrates in your lunch and see the difference it makes to your ability to concentrate.
Herbal supplements, especially those containing Siberian Ginseng, Brahmi ( Bacopa monnieri or Bacopa) and Indian Ginseng or Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) are also very effective in enhancing brain function.
The bottom line is that improving brain functioning involves a change in lifestyle. Drugs, caffeine and other substances that get you going are temporary measures. Supplements can provide welcome necessary support, but in the end it depends mostly on your overall health. Get sufficient sleep, avoid stress, exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet. If you are physically healthy, a healthy mind is a foregone conclusion.

Whether you are sailing a small sailing yacht or operating a larger commercial vessel, all will generate waste of some kind, whether it's kitchen waste, sewage, oil, chemical or cargo residues. These have to be disposed of in a way that will not pollute our river or the sea. Hamble Harbour is bound by law to supply waste bins for refuse.
The Marpol 73/78 Convention governs the safe and responsible disposal of this waste and the Merchant Shipping (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations requires all ports, terminals and marinas throughout the UK to produce a plan detailing how they organise and provide port reception facilities for Marpol designated waste.
Under these regulations, Hamble Harbour prepared a plan for the approval by the local office of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. This plan details how the Harbour organises and provides port waste reception facilities. The plan was developed in co-operation with local operators and organisations and is reviewed every three years.
If you have a yacht or motorboat an element of your Harbour Dues goes towards paying for waste disposal.
This plan has been developed specifically to the needs of Hamble Harbour and its users and should be considered as a minimum level of compliance under the regulations from which improvements can always be made.
Any port user who has any comments on this plan or who is unsure of the responsibilities of either themselves or others regarding waste, should contact the Harbour Office, Shore Road, Warsash, Hampshire, SO31 9FR or telephone 01489 576387.
The River Hamble Harbour Authority would like to remind mooring holders and visitors that rubbish must be disposed of before departing the River.
The Harbour Authority provides a range of facilities for the disposal of waste which are readily accessible to the majority of river users. This includes a special container for the disposal of non-EU food waste..
The implementation of the EC Directive on Port Reception Facilities (2000/59/EC) in the UK is achieved through the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations (2003/1809). This superseded the Waste Disposal The Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution by Garbage) Regulations 1988. Under these regulations it is an offence for any vessel, regardless of size, including recreational craft, to dump any garbage or refuse overboard within a certain distance of land, and in the case of plastics and other persistent rubbish, in any sea area surrounding the United Kingdom.
In addition to the facilities that the harbour authority provides it is also bound by law to review these facilities and ensure that they are adequate for the purposes intended. This review must take place every second year and the findings reported to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA),in the form of a Port Waste Management Plan.
For any further information regarding waste disposal, please contact the Harbour Office.
Free facilities include disposal points for general mixed garbage. Sewage pump-out for vessels with holding tanks, used oil disposal, disposal point for oil filters, disposal point for dead batteries.

Motrcytman's spouse
Wow...What do you think?
Christopher Butler owns a private detective agency specializing in finding cheating spouses:
David Dutcher was in the middle of a divorce (separated) in 2008 and decided to get back into the dating scene. Dutcher, an engineer, went on to Match.com and met Sharon .who was very, very cute and very, very much looking for love. As Dutcher told the LA Times, It felt a lot like Christmas. After a casual meeting the first time, Sharon told Dutcher to meet her and a female friend at restaurant .now Dutcher had two good looking women on his arm. One would loosen his tie while the other massaged his neck it was starting to look a lot like Christmas. They all had a few drinks, shots, and then the recommendation came for Dutcher to join the two ladies at a home nearby home, which had a hot tub. What luck? Soon Dutcher was in his car following the two ladies when the siren of a police car was in the rearview mirror. Booked on DUI, David Dutchers evening was over, but Christopher Butlers job (as the private detective) was done.
Butler, whose firm was under contract by Dutchers wife, had achieved the desired result of nailing Mr. Dutcher for DUI. The women ogling over Dutcher were working for Butler and the policeman was tipped that Mr. Dutcher was about to get into his car after a few cocktails. The incident affected the divorce proceedings and Mr. Dutchers ability to visit with his children. It also hurt his application to gain needed security clearances for his work. Dutcher did not know he was setup at the time but the consequences of the DUI were very real.

What do I think?
Don't know enough of the story. If David carried himself around and treated people like some of the folks do hear, then what a great scam. If all things point to the ex being a douche, then definitely not cool.
Regardless of that though, Christopher Butler needs to change professions before someone kills him.

Yeah, Butler(lol) is a douche for what he does, but Dutcher is the guilty one.
The girls didn't force him to drink. They didn't force him to drive. He chose that all on his own even if they were dangling the carrot there for him. Life is full of those carrots every day...
I agree with Scoots, he might want to think of a new way to make a living.

I agree that nobody forced Dutcher to have those drinks and then get behind the wheel. But if Butler and his cohorts intentionally plied Dutcher with the drinks, all the while knowing they would be calling the cops on him, he could have a case for entrapment. Of course, my actual knowledge of the law is limited to land use and real estate. Anything I profess to know about criminal law comes only from years of watching Law & Order.

If he was the type that was screwing around on his wife and drinking and driving regularly he got what he deserved. If he was just married to some psychobitchfromhell and wanted out and to start a new life with a nice girl, he got screwed, and not in a good way.
I noticed it said the girls were also drinking and driving. So did the one driving also get a DUI? I bet not.

After reading this, I was frankly surprised it was in the teen section. Half the time, I was sure I was reading an adult romance. While the characters weren't too frustrating, the morality was clearly absent in the book. I was sickened by the immorality portrayed is normal. If this is what teens are reading, no wonder teen pregnancy is high. The book could have been so good, if it hadn't been for the adult content.

I've been on the education beat for the Tribune for a little more than two years and always have found myself mystified at the conversation about keeping class sizes down in Nevada. Every teacher I talk to nowadays mentions class sizes in some capacity, yet when I do get a chance to walk into an actual classroom, I always think, "This is small compared to where I came from."
As a former student in the public education system of Southern California, I don't recall teachers and parents ever having made such a big deal about how many students were in the average classroom. Granted, I was young and perhaps naïve about adult conversations regarding class sizes. I was worried about more important things at the time, like getting by in those awful algebra classes, tutoring my peers in the finer points of grammar or racing to the pole that had the softest tetherball.
In the Silver State, though, most of the conversation I hear these days from Superintendent Heath Morrison, the board of trustees, principals and teachers is that we need to accommodate and individualize education for every child by keeping class sizes down as much as possible.
In my very brief research on the topic, Matthew Chingos of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government just released a paper in August about this very topic. Chingos examined Florida's state mandate and concluded that class-size reduction has absolutely no impact on student achievement. He elaborates that although school districts claim they would be good stewards of additional resources based on their ability to operate on limited resources now, little evidence actually exists that directing money toward a specific policy like class-size reduction actually helps students cognitively in the classroom.
Cost, of course, plays a substantial role. According to Chingos, implementing such a policy in Florida by the end of the 2010-11 school year would result in no more than 18 students in prekindergarten through third grade, 22 students in fourth through eighth grade and 25 students in ninth through 12th grade. Such a policy is estimated to cost $20 billion over eight years and about $4 billion per year each year after that.
I'm not a teacher, but if Nevada never follows Florida in such a mandate I am willing to concede that a kindergarten or first grade teacher who needs to give the slow learner a little bit more time may find it difficult to give them special attention. The high school teacher might become frustrated that students aren't performing well on their state tests, hence reflecting negatively on their own performance as an educator.
I do think, however, it's an imperative to consider that there are many other factors that impact a child's learning beyond the number of students in a room at one time. I grew up in class sizes of an average of 30 to 35. Was it a challenge for teachers? I'm certain it was. Did that mean the students failed? Absolutely not. I sat among some of the brightest kids I ever knew in public schools. We excelled because we were motivated, set unusually high standards for ourselves and fostered our own love for learning. I never felt handicapped by an extra five or 10 students in the classroom, though I'll admit the occasional outburst from the jokers who just didn't care did get annoying after a while.
It seems to me there's a bigger problem than class size at hand. Let's shake off the apathy among our youth, encourage them to do better and demonstrate our faith in them. If we could do that for them, then classroom size might not be such a big deal.

A month before I retired, I would seek out retirees I had worked with and ask them for their advice. It was disconcerting to discover that their tips were conflicting. Some said, "Travel"; others said, "Don't waste your money on travel." Some said, "Volunteer"; others said, "Volunteering is overrated." Some said, "Get a part-time job"; others said, "Don't be tempted to get back into the rat race."
There was, however, one thing that every retiree agreed upon—don't get addicted to television: "Television will rot your brain"; "Television will lead you into early Alzheimer's"; "Television will get you to acquire a taste for Cheetos, Dr. Pepper, and Irish Hurling." So I cancelled my cable package, sold my TV in a garage sale, and quickly became addicted to the Internet.
There are several signs that you are spending way too much time on the Internet. The first is glomming onto chat groups, especially medical chat groups, a big attraction for retirees who love to talk about their health issues. I had some early-retirement surgeries, and so I found myself spending literally hundreds of hours connecting with these types of online communities. First there was the one dedicated to people who have undergone surgery for external thrombosed hemorrhoids (When does the pain stop?). Then I joined a chat group for men who had had radical prostatectomies (Is there anything more humbling than the adult diaper?). Then I joined a chat group of people who have had both operations (Oh, thank God, I am not alone in my pain and humiliation!).
In the past three years, however, I haven't had any surgeries so I have been wasting my time exploring collegiate yearbooks. By chance, I discovered that my college yearbooks are online. That is one of the real dangers of poking around the Internet: you discover resources that, hundreds of hours later, you wish you had never found. The irony here is that I never bought any of my college yearbooks, never took the time to have my yearbook photo taken, and always disdained those students whose lives seemed to revolve around the yearbook committee when they could have been doing something meaningful like setting fire to the ROTC building to protest the War in Vietnam (we were the class of '71).
In a sense, this poking around the Internet is part of the librarian DNA. Curiosity is an inherent part of our makeup. When we have a need to know, we poke and poke and poke. Poking is what the Internet was made for. It is a poker's paradise.
So what was my need to know? Once I happened upon the yearbooks, I needed to know what had become of my classmates over the past 42 years. How had I stacked up against them in the game of life?
In a way, the college yearbook was the Facebook of the twentieth century for all those college students ready to make their plunge into the real world. The photos accompanied by the list of honors and activities was—I see now—a form of self-promotion. The first thing I noticed about those rows and rows of face shots was the metamorphosis that took place at this all-male university in four short years: clean shaven and short haired in 1967 but bearded, side-burned, mustachioed, and long haired in 1971.
But fashion was not my interest. I wanted to know what had become of my classmates. So I spent hundreds of hours googling everybody's name and following every lead I could. There were plenty of surprises. Let's start with the guy who was the chairman of the yearbook committee (the guy who should have been burning buildings). He wrote an award-winning history book, became a college professor, and ended up as the president of two highly prestigious liberal-arts colleges. An even bigger surprise was the D student who sat next to me in freshman English and resented my A. He went on to get an MBA, start an investment firm, make millions, and end up on one of those late-night cable-television stock-market programs. The person I most wanted to discover had turned into a serial killer was the class Goody Two-shoes, the candy ass who was in everything from the school newspaper to the glee club to the Circle K. No such luck. He graduated at the top of his Harvard Law class and become an expert in international law. Five years ago, he donated $500,000 to Harvard. My only source of satisfaction came from the fact that his recent photos on the Internet revealed that he suffered from male-pattern baldness and had become quite portly.
In fact, my research turned up no serial killers. Surprisingly, more than 80 percent of my classmates had no Internet presence at all. I'm not sure what that means. Only a few of them had Facebook accounts. The easiest ones to find were the doctors and lawyers, and there were lawyers aplenty, mostly of the small-town will-and-trust variety. One of the lawyers started a scholarship fund. This irked me because in 1968 I lent him $25, and he's never repaid me.
During all the time I wasted, I wondered if there was an old classmate trying to find out what became of me. If so, I'm sure he was surprised to discover that I'm the guy who got fired for running a "librarians and sex" survey in Wilson Library Bulletin.
Will Manley is also the guy who has been entertaining Booklist readers with the Manley Arts since 1991.

Members of the House and the Senate attempted to pack hundreds of special spending provisions into at least 10 bills in the summer and fall, less than a year after congressional leaders declared a moratorium on earmarks, congressional records show.
The moratorium, announced last November in the House and in February in the Senate, is a verbal commitment by the Republican leadership to prohibit lawmakers from directing federal funds to handpicked projects and groups in their districts. Lawmakers have tried to get around the moratorium by promising to allow other groups to compete for the funds. But the legislative language is so narrowly tailored that critics consider the practice to be earmarking by another name.

I don't necessarily think it does honestly...I can't tell you how many comics I read monthly, that I don't buy & really don't have a strong interest in just because A. I'm bored & B. Somehow or another I have easy access to these books.
As an example I let my brother bum/read comics off me & every single month I bring over Secret Avengers in my stack & every month he tells me how much he hates the comic & how boring it is.
I belive my brother when he says he hates the comic (cause he tells me over & over agian) so the only reason I can conclude why he continues to read it is A. He's that bored & B. It's accessible and not costing him a thing to read it except a couple of minutes.
Personally I think this is a big reason why some people might keep up with the book despite not liking the direction of it.

No matter what the baby needs to be with her mother! Sorry Pauly D
Posted at 4:43 PM on October 24, 2013
That is a pretty broad statement to make. You don't know anything about this girl to say no matter what she should be raising a child. What if she's a straight-up crack head? No matter what she should still raise a baby? What if she is an alcholic or has an unfit house? No matter what he shouldn't be able to raise his daughter?
My cousin went through a judge who thought "no matter what" the baby should stay with the mother and you know how that worked out? After the police found the baby in a carseat in the corner of a drug house the judge finally decided "well, maybe the stable father with no drug problems, a full-time job, home owner and responsible citizen should raise this child instead of a drug addict."
Fathers – even Pauly D… have rights too

Adrian Simmons handing over GCOS Steering Comittee Chair to Stephen Briggs
Adrian Simmons, who recently retired from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), has completed his four-year term as Chairman of the GCOS Steering Committee. Stephen Briggs (ESA) has accepted to chair the GCOS Steering Committee with effect from 1 March 2014. Carolin Richter (centre), Director of the GCOS Secretariat, met Adrian (left) and Stephen (right) for a brief hand-over ceremony at the European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT), based at the Harwell Science, Innovation and Business Campus in Oxfordshire, UK, on 3 April 2014.
Joint GCOS/GOFC-GOLD Workshop on Observations for Climate Change Mitigation
The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), in collaboration with the Land Cover Project Office from the Global Observation for Forest Cover and Land Dynamics (GOFC-GOLD), is organizing an international workshop from 5-7 May 2014 at WMO Headquarters in Geneva to consider the climate observation requirements to support mitigation to climate change. The workshop will bring together approximately 25 representatives of sectors in which mitigation to climate variability and climate change is, or is likely to become, an important concern. These also include the communities of agriculture, forestry, and land use.
The goals of the workshop are to identify observational requirements for mitigation, to review the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) and associated guidelines to determine their adequacy for mitigation, and to develop a plan to address these gaps and deficiencies identified. The workshop results will directly feed into the preparation of the next GCOS Progress Review and the new GCOS Implementation Plan, to be developed in the 2015-2016 timeframe.
Workshop documents and further information can be found here.
GCOS Reports by National Climate Observing Systems
The reports, prepared by National Climate Observing Systems, were developed in response to conclusions FCCC/SBSTA/2005/10 Paragraph 95 (2005) and FCCC/SBSTA/2007/L.14 (2007) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Subsidiary Body on Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA). They present the progress made in the implementation of GCOS on a national level, and give an overview of the observations made according to the list of GCOS Essential Climate Variables (ECVs).
Four reports have been published so far:
|FINLAND - National Activities with Respect to the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Implementation Plan, Finnish National Report on Systematic Observations for Climate, Finnish Meteorological Institute, November 2013
GERMANY - German Climate Observing Systems, Inventory report on the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), Deutscher Wetterdienst, January 2013
GERMANY - Third Report of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on Systematic Climate Observations in Germany as a contribution to Germany's Fifth National Communication under UNFCCC
SWITZERLAND - The National Climate Observing System, GCOS Switzerland, MeteoSuisse,October 2007
UNITED STATES - The United States National Report on Systematic Observations for Climate for 2008: National Activities with Respect to the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Implementation Pla, Working Group of the US Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) on behalf of the US Government, September 2008
UNITED STATES -The United States Detailed National Report on Systematic Observations for Climate: US Global Climate Observing System (US GCOS) Program,National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on behalf of the US Government, August 2001
GCOS at COP 19
On Monday 11 November 2013, the Director of the GCOS Secretariat, Dr Carolin Richter, gave a statement of the current status of the GCOS programme at the 39th Session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA). Dr Richter reported on behalf of the GCOS partner observing systems for climate, thanked SBSTA and the Conference of Parties for the role that they have played in fulfilling actions identified in the GCOS Implementation Plan (update 2010), and further highlighted GCOS contribution to ESA's Climate Change Initiative, and the Copernicus Earth Observation Programme.

The ESA Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop
The Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop, organized by ESA in cooperation with EUMETSAT, WMO, GEWEX, CEOS and GCOS, was held at ESA-ESRIN in Frascati, Italy, from 1-3 July 2013. The objective of the workshop was to discuss and reconcile recent methodological avances in the validation and application of global satellite soil moisture data. The workshop brought together producers and users of satellite soil moisture data, and provided a platform to discuss data quality, error characterization, validation approaches, data assimilation, and the broadening range of applications. It focused on soil moisture products derived from current and future active and passive microwave sensors operating in the low frequency range from 1 to 10 GHz, inclunding but not limited to ASCAT, SMOS, AMSR-E, ASAR, SMAP, Sentinel-1 and any combination thereof.
One concrete goal of the workshop was to collect material for a white paper on 'Best practice guidelines for the validation of satellite soil moisture data during in situ data hosted by the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN)', which is foreseen as a contribution to GEWEX, CEOS, WMO, and GCOS/TOPC.
The meeting report can be found here: PDF
GCOS promotes the work of GOSIC
The GOSIC Portal (http://gosic.org) provides convenient, central, one-stop access to data and information identified by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) and their partner programs, as well as specialized data access tools such as the GCOS ECV Data Access Matrix. The GOSIC is hosted at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and supported by the U.S. GCOS Program.
GCOS encourages the use of Digital Object Identifiers
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) attribute a unique reference to an electronic data set. They provide a permanent identifier that links the user to the current version of the relevant data sets. In view of the growing importance of data sharing, scientific experts from both the Atmospheric and Terrestrial Observational Panel for Climate recently discussed DOIs, as these can help researchers to discover relevant data more easily and attribute the data in a way that appropriately acknowledges its source. DOIs will in future enable to measure data usage to estimate its impact and influence. GCOS Panels encourage international data centres to introduce DOIs for their data records of Essential Climate Variables and recommend dataset producers in general to follow this practice.

GCOS 1992-2012 - 20 Years in Service for Climate Observations
The year 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the system dedicated to ensuring provision of the observational data and information that is the foundation for decisions on climate.
The GCOS Programme formally celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Global Climate Observing System on Friday, 29 June 2012 during the 64th WMO Executive Council meeting in Geneva. The celebration provided an opportunity to review the origins of the GCOS, to take stock of the accomplishments of GCOS in the first twenty years of its existence, and to think ahead about new opportunities and challenges for GCOS.
