Scott Drew Hauls in Wainright
After making an official visit to the Baylor campus for their "Midnight Madness" festivities nearly two weeks ago, small forward prospect Ishmail Wainright made it official last Thursday evening by verbally committing to the Bears. Wainright, the No. 26 ranked prospect in the ESPN 100, picked Baylor over Ohio State, St. John's and Texas.
A Missouri native, the 6'6″ Wainright was formerly a Missouri commitment back in May 2011. At the conclusion of that summer, he decided to reopen his recruitment after a successful AAU campaign. As Wainright began the recruiting process all over again, over 30 of the top schools in the country reached out to the Missouri small forward. With his recent commitment to Baylor, Wainright will join power forward Jonathan Motley as the only two commitments for the Bears from the class of 2013.
When describing Wainright's overall game, he is a tremendous athlete and one of the most physically imposing small forwards at the high school level. On the offensive end, Wainright does most of his damage scoring around the rim, either in transition or driving to the basket when creating for himself off the bounce. He is also a great passer with even better court vision. He has a knack for making the right play at the right time when creating opportunities for his teammates to make plays. A glaring weakness of his offensive game, however, has been his shooting. Prior to the summer, Wainright was not a good shooter. Most defenses took note of that fact by playing him loosely, forcing him into taking shots from the outside. As exhibited during the early recruiting period in the summer, though, Wainright showed an ever improving jump shot. To round out his game, Wainright needs to make it a point to continue working on his shooting touch before ending up on the Baylor campus. On the defensive end, Wainright is as good as they come. With great length, strength and athleticism, Wainright is arguably one of the best defenders from the class of 2013. He can guard multiple positions on the floor in part due to his great frame. He is a nightmare for the opposition and will continue to be well into his college career.

LITTLE ROCK � The state Board of Education on Thursday denied an application for a proposed open-enrollment charter school in Pine Bluff.
LITTLE ROCK � The state Board of Education on Thursday denied an application for a proposed open-enrollment charter school in Pine Bluff.
The board voted not to approve a charter for Exalt Academy of Pine Bluff, which was proposed as a school that would admit grades K-3 in its first year and add a grade each year until it was serving grades K-8. The proposed enrollment cap for the school was 540 students.
The applicant was Exalt Education Inc., which manages Little Rock Preparatory Academy, also an open-enrollment charter school. Exalt CEO Ben Lindquist told the board the proposed Pine Bluff school would target at-risk students and would provide them with 30 percent more learning time than traditional public schools while working to put them on a path to college.
The Pine Bluff School District opposed the application.
�I have not heard anything new that Exalt is doing,� said Rudolph Howard, the district�s deputy superintendent. �We are doing the same thing and have been doing it much longer.�
Lindquist said students need an alternative to the existing public schools in the area.
�We have a community that�s in a state of decline, and what we�re trying to do is initiate a major change to try and turn that around and improve it,� he said.
Some board members said they were concerned that Exalt did not have adequate means to transport students to and from school. Some said they believed it would negatively impact the enrollment of area school districts, including the Dollarway district, which was taken over by the state in June amid financial and administrative problems.
Later Thursday, the board approved an application for a different open-enrollment charter school in Pine Bluff, Quest Middle School.
The school will serve grades 5-12 with a maximum enrollment of 460 students. No one spoke against the application, which was submitted by Responsive Education Solutions.
The board also approved two other charter schools proposed by Responsive Education Solutions � Northwest Arkansas Classical Academy in Bentonville and Premier High School of Little Rock.
The Bentonville School will serve grades K-12 and have an enrollment cap of 685 students. The Little Rock school will serve grades 9-12 and have a maximum enrollment of 240 students.
No one spoke against the Bentonville school. Chris Heller, attorney for the Little Rock School District, argued that the Little Rock school would not offer any programs not already available and would interfere with court-ordered desegregation of the public school districts in Pulaski County.
The board denied an application for the proposed KidSmart Cultural Arts Charter in Little Rock. The school was proposed by KidSmart Education Services and would have served students in grades K-8 with an enrollment cap of 300 students. Heller spoke against the application.
An application for a proposed charter school in Lincoln, America�s Charter School, was tabled.

Wheat futures are showing 3 to 6 cent losses in most contracts at midday. Weakness comes as the US was left out of the Egyptian tender on Wednesday, mainly due to a freight disadvantage. A higher US dollar and general selling in the grain complex is also seen as adding pressure. Outside of actual shipping data (Export Inspections report) we will not have an update to any Export Sales data until the government is back open. A South Korean importer purchased 65,000 MT of optional origin wheat in a tender on Wednesday. The EU awarded 718,000 MT of wheat imports under their import quota.

IPaidABribe Impact: BWSSB acts on complaint, updates website
Proactive Citizen: BWSSB acts on complaint, updates website
Ravi, a resident of Arekere in Bengaluru, whose water meter was stolen, experienced many difficulties trying to get it replaced by Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB).
He was made to run between different BWSSB offices at Arekere, Kothanur and Hulimavu. He reported he was asked to pay a bribe of Rs 1000, which he did reluctantly.
Sharing his experience on IPaidABribe in February, he wrote that the BWSSB officials were themselves confused regarding the procedure relating to replacement of a stolen meter. Ravi suggested that the BWSSB should publish the procedure on their web portal so that other citizens do not face hassles, like he did.
Dr Malati Das IAS (retd) (Former Chief Secretary of Karnataka) who is currently an Advisor at the Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy forwarded the complaint to the Chairman of BWSSB for redressal.
BWSSB has replied that a new water meter has been installed after following necessary procedures and receipt of new water meter cost from the consumer.
Monthly water bills are being issued regularly to Ravi, who has confirmed with Team IPAB that the assistance provided by the BWSSB is satisfactory. As recommended by him, BWSSB has now incorporated information regarding the procedure to be followed while getting a new water meter in place of a stolen one on the BWSSB website, and informed us the same. As Ravi did not give the name of the person to whom a bribe was paid, this matter could not be addressed.
Team IPAB appreciates Ravi's effort to speak out against corruption and obscure procedures. It also appreciates BWSSB's customer-friendly response. If you too are a victim of corruption, speak up like Ravi. Click to report it on IPaidABribe.

The Wall Street Journal, December 28, 2012
By Mike Sielki
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – At the time, the afternoon of Monday, March 26, seemed the perfect beginning to what promised to be a prosperous tenure in the New York region for Tim Tebow.
At the Atlantic Health Training Center here, five days after they had acquired Tebow from the Denver Broncos, the Jets introduced him at a news conference—the NFL's most popular player now with a chance to play quarterback in its biggest market. The Jets made special arrangements to accommodate more than 200 media members who attended the event, holding it in their field house, lining up rows of white folding chairs in one of the end zones, setting up a podium in front of a black backdrop that was dotted with the team's insignia.
Meanwhile, as Tebow repeated ad absurdum how excited he was to become a Jet, Steve Wymer, the vice president of corporate communication for TiVo Inc., TIVO and Doug Bieter, the company's head of retail sales, were en route from TiVo's corporate headquarters in San Jose, Calif., to Beverly Hills. There, they met with one of Tebow's representatives at the talent agency William Morris Endeavor Entertainment to explore the possibility of a partnership between TiVo and Tebow, an early step in a relationship the two parties later consummated.
Nine months later, that promise has gone unfulfilled. Tebow is about to complete an odd and empty season with the Jets, who are 6-9 entering their finale Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. He's been on the field for just 76 offensive snaps—a contrast from last year, when he orchestrated several dramatic victories for the Broncos, including one in the AFC playoffs—and coach Rex Ryan's refusal to use him as a regular quarterback has hurt Tebow's standing compared with his peers at the position. (Without a touchdown, he hasn't even Tebowed as a Jet.) But his meager playing time also has prevented him from maximizing his marketing and sponsorship opportunities, according to several experts. And they say that though Tebow remains an attractive product endorser, his season away from substantial game action will require him to rebuild his brand by becoming a noteworthy player—i.e. a starting quarterback—again.
"It has been a handicap, no question," said Lee Berke, a sports-media analyst and president of LHB Sports. "From the football standpoint, he has been out of sight. In terms of performing on the field, it hasn't been like the year before. That's an issue. I think he's going to need the opportunity to prove himself again on the field."
By the standards of today's elite professional athletes, Tebow takes modest monetary advantage of his celebrity. He has endorsement deals with five companies: TiVo, Nike Inc., Jockey Inc., SOUL Electronics and The FRS Company, which sells energy supplements. He earns up to $4 million annually from them, according to IEG, an endorsement and sponsorship consulting firm. (Peyton Manning, Tebow's successor in Denver, is the top-earning NFL quarterback pitchman, at $13 million.)
When contacted for this story, four of Tebow's sponsors pledged their commitment to their multiyear contracts with him. SOUL Electronics didn't respond to a request for comment. None of the four companies suggested that Tebow's season with the Jets would cause it to end or change its relationships with him.
It isn't surprising that Tebow's sponsors would stick by him, despite his unorthodox style of play and his inability to beat out Mark Sanchez for the Jets' starting job, said David Carter, a sports marketing professor at the University of Southern California. "They signed on knowing the competition in that market, the position he plays," Carter said. "That's not news to anybody." FRS, in fact, recently released a new packaging design that features Tebow wearing a sleek, silver athletic shirt and football leg pads, poised to throw a pass.
"If anything, we're doubling down on Tim," said Matt Kohler, FRS's chief marketing officer. Kohler did acknowledge that "it would help" if Tebow had played more frequently this season, and Jockey echoed that sentiment in a statement: "We hope [Tebow] gets more opportunities to demonstrate his football skills soon." It's likely he will. The Jets are expected to either trade or release Tebow once the season ends, and there are NFL franchises—the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tebow's hometown team, foremost among them—who would seem willing to give him a shot at being a full-time quarterback again. He's still a topic of sports and pop-culture conversation because he's in New York, said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon. But he'll have to play more to remain one.
"Just as the government's heading to a fiscal cliff," Swangard said, "I think Tebow's heading to that marketing cliff where he's got to get some reps or he just becomes another footnote in NFL history."
Tebow declined to discuss whether his wasted season had affected his endorsement power, and just this week, reports that he had in effect asked not to play in New York's most recent game (after coach Rex Ryan had decided to start Greg McElroy at quarterback) appeared to stain Tebow's reputation as an unselfish, supportive teammate. Over a 20-minute interaction at his locker Wednesday with reporters, he said that Ryan had misinterpreted Tebow's reaction to the decision, and he bristled at those who would have characterized him as phony because of his desire to start at quarterback.
"That's what's disappointing," he said. "Your character is who you are as a man, and that's a lot more important. I take that way more serious than I'll ever take a football game."
That refutation, coupled with the perception that the Jets have treated Tebow unfairly by keeping him on the bench, probably reaffirmed one of the major reasons that fans and potential sponsors have been drawn to Tebow and, for at least a little while, will continue to be: his image, through his devout Christianity, as someone of high moral integrity. It provides a baseline of interest in and support for him.
"He can say, 'I'm patient, and that's the way Christians are.' He can talk about humility," said Jay Coakley, a sociologist who has researched the importance of sports in America. "People will hang on with him because he's giving them the messages that reaffirm their beliefs and reaffirm the rationale for their connection with him."
For Wymer, the TiVo vice president, that quality contributed to the company's interest in doing business with Tebow. The market in which Tebow is playing, Wymer said, doesn't dictate the exposure he receives or the discussion he sparks, so the fact that things didn't work out for him in New York is, in a way, irrelevant. "For us," he said, "he sort of transcends whether he's on the field."

I am totally incompetent when it comes to dealing with scripts.
So I have no idea how to resolve my problem.
I can run this script with no problems so long as my address book does not have an entry in the "display as" box .
I would like to be able to use this script with the receipient's full name in the "display as" box .
When attempting to use the "display as" box, the script copies the address as john doe <john doe> and drops the real adress email@example.com.
Can someone give me a "script for dummies" instruction as to how to resolve this?
I am using 18.104.22.1680 and the latest version of the script

AJ, I have seen this manual (31-9075 GE Arctica Side-By-Side CustomCool Refrigerator.pdf) listed on various sites including yours. Although it doesn't cover the 26" model which I have, do you think it is closer than the manual you provided me earlier in this thread? ThanksPS I sent a pay pal donation for all the help
Thank you, I did happen to have a copy of this manual but I don't think it covers my exact model. To enter the diag mode you must display 5 in the freezer display and a 5 in the refrigerator display (page 33). My refrigerator display will not bump down to single digits, it goes from 34 to 44 then OFF. This model has the express cool, express thaw tray and turbo cool setting. Any advise? Thanks

"I remember the last time I was here the room was filled with the smell of weed," said Yuck's lead vocalist Max Bloom with his charming British accent, facing yet another thick fog looming over the audience. "I feel like I'm getting high out of proximity." The herb-filled air wasn't new to The Independent, and this wasn't Yuck's first time in San Francisco. But the band that showed up there Wednesday night [1/30] was a very different band than Yuck has been in the past.
Since April 2013, the London-based indie rock outfit has been forced to regroup and reinvent itself after frontman Daniel Blumberg's departure. Yuck's signature lazy '90s grunge lo-fi sound from its eponymous debut LP has apprently departed with Blumberg; instead, the band has adopted a calmer tone that highlights strong instrumentation as opposed to their earlier focus on smooth vocals.
Opening the show with the upbeat rock number "Middle Sea," from its sophomore record Glow & Behold, Yuck started out the show with genuine enthusiasm, matching the stoner crowd's mood. Like I was, many people seemed anxious to see how well the band would fare sans Blumberg's Elliott Smith-like voice. If you've listened to Glow & Behold, you've already noticed the pleasant SoCal intonation in Bloom's voice. Whether intentional or not, the inconsistency in Bloom's vocals was amplified during the show, casting an uneven, melancholic tone to both Glow & Behold and Yuck songs.
Bloom's promotion to lead vocalist also made room for guitarist Ed Hayes, Yuck's newest member. Wearing a washed out Pac Man T-shirt, the sprightly guitarist offered backup vocals to Bloom's deep yet delicate voice and rocked out during "Lose My Breath" — an energetic tune with a soft melody. Bassist Mariko Doi joined in occasionally with backup vocals, offering a contrasting strain to the guitarists' deep voices.
Throughout the night, Yuck's vocals remained uneven, with Bloom relying heavily on the backup vocals from Doi and Hayes, despite Doi's soft — at times inaudible — murmur. Although her instrumentals were perfectly on point, Doi's solo rendition of "The Wall" seemed lacking in passion and vibrato. Things picked up when drummer Jonny Rogoff began singing along in the back, bringing excitement when it was needed.
While it's rare for young bands such as Yuck to carry on without one of its founding pillars, the indie rockers don't seem fazed by the change. Bloom, Hayes, Doi, and Rogoff played in unison with lots of noise and energy, working together rather than as separates. Sure, they're still working out the kinks with vocals, but overall, the change seems for the better. Even though Bloom has stepped up to the plate as frontman, Doi and Hayes carried their own, shining in the spotlight at various times during the night. Even Rogoff had his moment when fans cheering for the encore began chanting his name. "Jonny, Jonny, Jonny…" The band came back on stage, but only after Rogoff asked to hear the chant again. "You just made his day," said Bloom before jumping into "Memorial Fields" from Glow & Behold, the closest thing to the band's old lo-fi.
One major disappointment: Yuck didn't play one of its most beautiful songs, "Shook Down." The mellow lyrics and soft beat are a highlight from the band's debut LP and a major crowd-pleaser. I know I wasn't the only one who felt like there was something missing at the end of the show. Maybe it was "Shook Down," maybe it was Blumberg…either way, Yuck's reinvention is worth appraisal. Despite the band's recent reformation, Yuck is not lacking in passion. They might still be struggling to find right voice, but the foursome's trademark '90s grunge vibe was ever so present, and their future seems promising — as evidenced, especially, by a brilliant cover of New Order's "Age of Consent." Blumberg who?

hu do u guys think is the greatest west indian quickie of all time?
hu do u guys think is the greatest west indian quickie of all time?
Malcolm Marshall, the greatest pace bowler ever.
1. Marshall
2. Ambrose
3. Holding
4. Roberts
5. Walsh
In my opinion.
Marshall just, over Ambrose. I do think though that people tend to overrate Marshall a bit because he was such an unlikely candidate to be a great fast bowler due to his lack of height. He didn't really accomplish anymore as a fast bowler than Ambrose though.
Marshall !
what i gathared from reading the Bio's of 70's and 80's cricketers and listening to stories about WI'ian pace battery, one person that stand outs is Andy Roberts, almost everyone who faced him from 76--81 rated him as the most difficult fast bowler they have faced.
It is sad that since he didnt take 300+ wickets he doesnt get recongnition he deservs. But to me the best Best WI'ian fast bowler after Marshall, and Marshall beats him bcoz of his # of wickets.
Twitter @3Bouncers
Imran has said about Roberts that he was the most fierce bowler he ever faced in his career.

How many people here have actually seen Andy Roberts bowl ?
Not many I would think on this forum. By all accounts he was a great bowler, but Walsh should get kudos for taking 500 plus wickets and actually IMPROVING his average in his later years.

Schalke 04 scored a massive goal in its attempt to advance from the UEFA Champions League Group E when Joel Matip took advantage of a failed Basel offside trap—or, more accurately, a blunder by the linesman.
Despite the set piece happening directly in front of him, and having the 18-yard box line as a measure, the linesman saw nothing wrong with Schalke having four men upfield from the second-to-last Basel defender upon the striking of the free kick. Blown offside calls happen all the time during open play, but for something so egregious to take place on a set piece is mind-boggling. Or, you know, "European soccer." [Fox Soccer]

Part of the "India in the World" LSA theme semester; hosted by CMENAS
How do Iran and India view their bilateral relations? What are the pillars of this relationship? What are the prospects for the future? In this presentation, Professor Boroujerdi will address the above questions by examining the multifaceted nature of geopolitical and economic ties between these two states.

An article recently appeared on the Asian Football Confederation's website that referred to the United Arab Emirates' national soccer team as the "Sand Monkeys." That's a really racist thing to do, in case you didn't know.
So what the hell happened? Is some crazy racist writing articles for the Asian Football Confederation? Not quite, according to the Associated Press:
The AFC called it a "genuine mistake" inserted by a new writer who saw "Sand Monkeys" wrongly listed as the team's nickname on its Wikipedia page. The team's actual nickname is Al Abyad, or The White, and the Wikipedia page has been corrected.
Well that explains it. The AFC isn't employing virulent racists, but rather people who rely on Wikipedia to provide them with important information and trust that everything on Wikipedia is 100 percent true. Nothing wrong with that. It's a method that many of the world's most respected journalists practice every day.

Update for July 3, 2008 - Case count information as of 9 pm EST, July 2, 2008
Click Here for Advice to Consumers
CDC is collaborating with public health officials in many states, the Indian Health Service, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate an ongoing multi-state outbreak of human Salmonella serotype Saintpaul infections. An initial epidemiologic investigation comparing foods eaten by ill and well persons identified consumption of raw tomatoes as strongly linked to illness. Recently, many clusters of illnesses have been identified in Texas and other states among persons who ate at restaurants. These clusters have led us to broaden the investigation to be sure that it encompasses food items that are commonly consumed with tomatoes.
Since April, 922 persons infected with Salmonella Saintpaul with the same genetic fingerprint have been identified in 40 states and the District of Columbia. These were identified because clinical laboratories in all states send Salmonella strains from ill persons to their State public health laboratory for characterization. Two new states, Iowa and Louisiana, report ill persons. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: Alabama (2 persons), Arkansas (10), Arizona (45), California (8), Colorado (12), Connecticut (4), Florida (1), Georgia (22), Idaho (4), Illinois (91), Indiana (14), Iowa (2), Kansas (17), Kentucky (1), Louisiana (1), Maine (1), Maryland (29), Massachusetts (22), Michigan (7), Minnesota (2), Missouri (12), New Hampshire (4), Nevada (11), New Jersey (6), New Mexico (95), New York (26), North Carolina (10), Ohio (7), Oklahoma (23), Oregon (10), Pennsylvania (8), Rhode Island (3), South Carolina (1), Tennessee (7), Texas (356), Utah (2), Virginia (29), Vermont (2), Washington (4), Wisconsin (10), and the District of Columbia (1).
Among the 627 persons with information available, illnesses began between April 10 and June 25, 2008, including 210 who became ill on June 1 or later. Many steps must occur between a person becoming ill and the determination that the illness was caused by the outbreak strain of Salmonella; these steps take an average of 2-3 weeks. Therefore, an illness reported today may have begun 2-3 weeks ago. Patients range in age from <1 to 99 years; 49% are female. The rate of illness is highest among persons 20 to 29 years old; the rate of illness is lowest in children 10 to 19 years old and in persons 80 or more years old. At least 111 persons were hospitalized. One death in a man in Texas in his eighties has been associated with this outbreak. In addition, a man in his sixties who died in Texas from cancer had an infection with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Saintpaul at the time of his death; the infection may have contributed to his death.
Only 3 persons infected with this strain of Salmonella Saintpaul were identified in the country during the same period in 2007. The previous rarity of this strain and the distribution of illnesses in all U.S. regions suggest that the implicated food is distributed throughout much of the country. Because many persons with Salmonella illness do not have a stool specimen tested, it is likely that many more illnesses have occurred than those reported. Some of these unreported illnesses may be in states that are not on today's map.
Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12-72 hours after infection. Infection is usually diagnosed by culture of a stool sample. The illness usually lasts 4-7 days. Although most people recover without treatment, severe infections may occur. Infants, elderly persons, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness. When severe infection occurs, Salmonella may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other body sites, and can cause death. In these severe cases, antibiotic treatment may be necessary.
At this time, FDA is advising U.S. consumers to limit their tomato consumption to those that are not the likely source of this outbreak. These include cherry tomatoes; grape tomatoes; tomatoes sold with the vine still attached; tomatoes grown at home; and red plum, red Roma, and round red tomatoes from specific sources listed at: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html*. Consumers should be aware that raw tomatoes are often used in the preparation of fresh salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo, are part of fillings for tortillas, and are used in many other dishes.
Consumers everywhere are advised to:
FDA recommends that U.S. retail outlets, restaurants, and food service operators offer only fresh and fresh cut red plum, red Roma, and round red tomatoes and food products made from these tomatoes from specific sources listed at: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html#retailers*. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached from any source may be offered.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Many schools today have set clear goals for increasing "family engagement," and are rolling out systems and programs to reach parents. More than information about the school, parents want to know what their kids are doing in the classroom. Providing parents with this information can create strong and effective partners for teachers.
Here are 7 tips to create a robust parent-teacher communication plan that leverages the power of your students' families.
Don't communicate with families simply to check a box on a checklist. Create a conversation in order to further your aims in the classroom.
Do you want to have better student attendance? Do you want to bring more parents into the classroom to share professional experiences with students? Whatever your goals are, keep them in mind when designing your plan.
Research has shown that parental expectations are one of the strongest predictors of student achievement. Your parent-teacher communication plan should be designed to set clear, consistent and high expectations for student performance in class. This will put parents on your side and enable them to reinforce your expectations in the home.
When the time comes that you need to execute a parent-teacher communication with a family about academic or behavioral problems in the classroom, the family's reaction is far more likely to be supportive if you've already demonstrated you commitment to high standards. Communicating high standards from the beginning for the year, will set you up to have much more objective conversations with families about individual students.
Make sure that parents are aware that you're responsible for more than just their student. Setting this context will help parents see your point of view when and/if you need to make a decision that is best for the group, but which might not be ideal for each individual student.
Parents will not only be hearing from you. The school will be communicating with them about schoolwide issues as well. You don't want parents to feel like the only thing that is being communicated to them is fundraising requests.
At the same time, you want to be sure that they are aware of the full range of resources, such as after school and summer programs, that the school offers as well as how other services connect to the shared goals that you have for their student. Parents need help in making these connections to create a more holistic education and will appreciate sound advice about what students can gain from specific activities offered by the school.
Ask parents what communication methods are best for them. Do not assume that parents are all the same. Using multiple communication methods allows parents to hear from you in ways that work for them.
Some traditional options, like notes and calls home, can be time intensive, but work for some parents. There are also a ton of techie ways that can be a little easier to switch up. While email may be great for some parents, you can also try texting, twitter or a classroom blog to provide a range of options. There are some online tools, such as SnappSchool.com, that will let you do multiple methods at once.
Pay attention to results. Are your communications getting parents engaged? Do they show up? Do they return permission slips, do students arrive prepared for class? What methods are providing the most response from parents and students? You can adapt your plan to make the best use of your time. If most parents respond best to email, then you can save yourself some calls home.
Don't let it be an item on the checklist; make it a strategy for achieving your larger classroom goals. Whatever your plan is, open up the lines of communications with parents, and set them up to talk with their kids each day about their school day. This alone can be a powerful thing.
What tips do you have for effective parent teacher communication? Share in the comments section!

I received a call from a frequent attendee to our genealogy programs indicating to me that they saw our upcoming genealogy programs for October and November 2011 listed in our printed Program Guide as requiring "registration". The printed Program Guide is now showing a red "R" after any programs that require advance registration. This was intended as a visual clue for anyone reviewing the guide to provide a "heads up" that registration is required for that program.
Unfortunately, the "R" notice was inadvertently inserted in the program description for genealogy for the October and November 2011 genealogy programs we are having.
You do NOT have to pre-register for the genealogy programs we will be having in October and November 2011.
That is a mistake.
All you need to do for our genealogy programs is "come on in" like we have always been doing in the past.
I apologize for any confusion this may initially cause, especially for all of you who regularly attend our program and know that I have never had any pre-registration for the genealogy programs.
I guess we can attribute this whole thing to a big:
Thanks for being understanding. This will be corrected for any future genealogy program descriptions we show in the printed Program Guide.

9-23-11 PNC Park
This was the scene in PNC Park today:
It rained steadily all day, but let up around 3:30, which was good enough to wash out batting practice.
It definitely wasn't a good day for ballhawks. Before the rest of the stadium opened at 5:30, only one pair of pitchers threw. That's it. It was Bronson Arroyo and another Reds player. When they were done, they threw their baseballs into the stands – which were quickly retrieved and pocketed by ushers.
Luckily, an usher had found two baseballs in center field and tossed one to Ian Weir, who was closing in on his 100th lifetime baseball, and me. The ball was soaked, but it didn't matter – I was on the board.
There was a ball on the grass near the Reds dugout which was picked up by the head groundskeeper as the groundscrew took the tarp off the field. It was obviously soaked. He was pulling the tarp off of the infield with his co-workers and had the baseball in his other hand, looking at it.
Then he glanced up into the stands.
I was basically the only one around, and I was half way up in the lower seating bowl. I held up my glove. He threw the ball in my direction off balance, kind of like a third baseman throws a bunt that he is charging and picking up barehanded.
As a result the throw sailed over my head, but bounced right back to me and I caught it with my throwing hand.
The ball was soaked. I didn't care though.
I only stayed until 6PM. I was content with two baseballs. I only really came down to the stadium because I had 17 extra tickets and I just figured I'd get the shirts by getting the tickets scanned. Plus, I wanted to go be with Amy and Olivia!
Here are today's baseballs, soaked – they are staying in my garage:
Game: 2 balls (2 thrown)
Season: 411 balls (173 hit, 88 thrown, 87 device, 56 found)
Games: 76 games
Average: 5.41 per game
Career: 1,533 balls
Attendance: 23,642

In an acquisition that brings together two Penguin imprints, Berkley Books and Penguin Young Readers Group have jointly acquired Tammara Webber's self-published novel Easy. Because the novel has a crossover readership covering teens and adult romance readers, the imprints teamed up to acquire print and e-book rights. Penguin will take over sale of the e-book on October 9 and Berkley will release a trade paperback edition on November 6; there will be no separate Young Readers edition.
Don Weisberg, president of Penguin Young Readers, struck the North American rights deal, which is for two books, with agent Jane Dystel of Dystel & Goderich. The book has also sold in a number of foreign countries, with deals closed in, among other places, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain and France. Categorized in the newly popular category term "new adult," which is publishing-speak for books that usually feature characters slightly beyond their teenage years, the novel follows a 19-year-old who is, Penguin said, "grappling with the aftermath of a sexual assault and a new love interest." The book has sold 150,000 e-book copies.
Sales for the title will be handled by the adult group which sells Berkley's titles, while Berkley staff and Penguin Young Readers staff will team up on other aspects of the book, from editorial to marketing and publicity.

In my last post I discussed issues around Kerberos configuration for an App-V 5 server cluster in a load balanced configuration. Today I will discuss subsequent configuration requirements for making App-V publishing function in a load-balanced environment.
After configuring standalone app-V servers with Management and Publishing Server roles, I had good success with adding packages to the environment and publishing them. However, when switching to a load balanced configuration, I experienced a failure of the publishing server to pick up on changes in the management configuration. Helpful resources and troubleshooting notes follow:
- A TechNet social page that I referenced in my previous post makes reference to this same problem:
But does not point me towards any solutions. This seems like some sort of permissions problem, so I put Sysinternals Procmon on watching w3wp.exe for "Access Denied" events, but I get nothing. However, I do see a fair amount of database traffic at IIS startup time.
- The following TechNet blog provided a key tipoff in App-V server diagnostics:
The trick was to select "Show Analytic and Debug Logs" under "Actions" in the event viewer. With this option enabled, I now see App-V management and publishing debug logs instead of just the default App-V event logs. The debug logs contain the real error. We see that the SID recorded for the publishing server in the management server database does not match the SID of the account making the connection! What we needed to do was delete the publishing server entries from the management configuration, and create one new "server" under the name of the publishing server service account, not the computer account. I just updated the SQL database entry manually, but I likely could have just used the Silverlight UI instead. This change cleared up the mismatched SID error, but now we get an "access denied" error to the publishing metadata directory.
- The following blog gives an excellent technical overview of App-V server infrastructure and the general troubleshooting process for resolving configuration issues:
- Here it is suggested that I look at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/AppV/Server to review the management and publishing server configurations. Sure enough, one problem seen here is that the publishing server is configured to connect to the management server on an http:// address. However, I updated the management servers to use https://. I modified those registry values and restarted IIS. Still no luck…
- This blog explains how published applications are read out of a metadata xml file that is exposed to the publishing server by the management server. Both are stored in c:programdatamicrosoftappv. When running Procmon.exe against w3wp.exe we see "Access Denied" to these directories by our service account. After adding "modify" rights for the service account to these directories, metadata updates again start to happen.
It is unsurprising that switching form the use of a local server account to an AD service account caused access problems for the App-V server. The difficulty of discovering where account info and rights needed to be updated was a bit of a surprise. But thanks to the blog-o-sphere and the mighty "procmon.exe", we have our answers.
Now on to performance testing…

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
My son! There is nothing in this world that is not God. He is action, purity; everlasting Spirit. Find Him in the cavern; loose the knot of ignorance. Shining, yet hidden, Spirit lives in the cavern. Everything that sways, breathes, opens, closes, lives in Spirit; beyond learning, beyond everything, better than anything; living, unliving. It is the undying, blazing Spirit, that seed of all seeds, wherein lay hidden the world and all its creatures. It is life, speech, mind, reality, immortality.
You cannot have the knowledge of the Supreme Soul by
means of reasoning, erudition, or studying of the Vedas;
Only through causeless mercy does He reveal His own
person unto him whom He does accept as His own
This is Tawhid, or the doctrine of the Oneness of reality (also spelled Tawheed), a cosmological concept as old as humanity that runs through the mystical aspect of all religions. As it similarly says in the Qur'an:
"Say (O Muhammad): "He is God, (the) One, The Self-Sufficient Master, He begets not, nor was He begotten; And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Sura 112:1-4)
"Thy Lord is self-sufficient, full of Mercy: if it were His will, He could destroy you, and in your place appoint whom He will as your successors, even as He raised you up from the posterity of other people."(Sura 6:133)
Alhamdulillah! That the love and mercy of God is endless, His bounty boundless, and He is ONE!
Ya Haqq!

The Southwood boys basketball team is getting hot at the right time, as they took on the Bluffton Tigers, Friday in their final regular season game, leading at every stop and topping Bluffton 54-52.
With Bluffton keying on Shane Smith early, junior Corey Phillipy would lead the first quarters offense for the Knights. Southwood took off to a 4-0 start on buckets from Phillipy and Jackson Blair before the powerful Tigers would come back to tie the score.
Phillipy would hit again to give Southwood the lead back and was followed by a bucket from Robbie Cole to lead 8-4 with 3:00 to go. After two Bluffton free throws, senior Levi Sutton would hit with Phillipy draining his third bucket of the quarter and the Knights led 12-7. Bluffton would score the last four points of the quarter and the Knights led 12-11 after one.
Bluffton would hit the first bucket of the second quarter to get their first lead of the night when Ross Phillipy would score on an offensive rebound and was followed by brother Corey with a bucket to lead 16-13. Back came the Tigers, who would go on a 7-2 run to take a 20-18 lead with 3:00 left on the clock when Nathan Hollars knotted the score with a bucket.
Bluffton would lead 25-22 with 1:47 left when the Knights would make one more push. Corey Phillipy and Shane Smith hit before Phillipy converted a three-point play to put Southwood up 29-25 before Bluffton scored the final bucket of the half and Southwood led 29-27.
With Phillipy scoring at will, Bluffton couldn't key on Shane Smith anymore and Smith would give Southwood a four point lead to start the third quarter before the Tigers hit back to back three's to lead the Knights 33-31. Back came Corey Phillipy with two buckets to give the Knights the lead and Bluffton answered.
Tied at 35 the Knights would make a run. Shane Smith converted a three point play, followed by a Levi Sutton steal for a bucket, plus another Smith bucket to lead 42-35. Bluffton would stop the run with a three that was answered by a Jackson Blair bucket. The Tigers would then score five straight to cut the Knight lead to 44-43 when Blair hit with .03 left to give Southwood a 46-43 lead with a quarter to go.
Neither team could find the bucket to start the fourth quarter as Shane Smith finally broke the stale mate at 5:03 and was followed by another Sutton steal for a bucket to put the Knights up 50-43. Bluffton would not go away. The Tigers cut the Knight lead to 50-47 with 2:43 left. The Knights worked the clock with Smith scoring with 1:26 remaining to lead 52-47. With not many fouls being called, Bluffton had the problem of needing to foul to get the ball back and needed to do it four times just to make the Knights shoot free throws. On Southwood's third possession during the fouling spree, Shane Smith found Corey Phillipy for a back door lay-up that iced the game.
Southwood led 54-47 with .21 left and led 54-49 when Bluffton hit a three pointer at the buzzer for the 54-52 final score. Leading Southwood was Corey Phillipy with 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. Shane Smith added 15 points, 5 assists. Jackson Blair had 8 points, 3 steals. Levi Sutton had 6 points, 7 assists, and 4 steals. Nathan Hollars had 2 points, 3 assists and 5 steals. Robbie Cole and Ross Phillipy had 2 points each.
The junior varsity team fell to Bluffton 43-36.
Noah Kirk led the Knights in scoring with 15 points. Jacob Lloyd added 7, Luke Elliot 6, Alex Harmon 6, Logan Paris 2. Elliot had 7 rebounds, 4 steals. Lloyd had 5 rebounds and Paris 4 assists.

Nick Lampson's campaign is out with a new ad focusing on jobs.
In the ad, a port worker named Jack Pearce praises Lampson, a Democrat and former congressman, for his work on the Water Resources Development Act of 2007, also known as Port Jobs. While Lampson was not a sponsor or cosponsor of the bill, he was a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee where the bill originated. His work on this bill, along with others, was recognized by the Chamber of Commerce when they awarded him with Spirit of Enterprise award in 2008, Lampson for Congress Press Secretary Daniel van Hoogstraten told the Chronicle.
"The people in Washington have definitely forgotten who they represent. They continue to let jobs go overseas while we're struggling," says Pearce in the ad.
Lampson has previously served in Congress as representative of District 9 from January 1997 to January 2005 and as representative of District 22 from January 2007 to January 2009. He is currently campaigning to become a member of Congress representing yet another district, District 14.
"He modernized the office and improved collection rates. Lampson was first elected to Congress in 1996," states Lampson's biography on his campaign's website.
The campaign of Republican Randy Weber is quick to note that Lampson is not exactly a Washington outsider.
Here's the Weber ad in question and below is the press release issued by Lampson's campaign disputing its claims.

Nebraska falls to UCLA 41-21
Brett Hundley threw three touchdown passes in the third quarter and No. 16 UCLA came back from an 18-point deficit to defeat No. 23 Nebraska 41-21 in a monumental Cornhusker collapse at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
-- PHOTOS: See photos from the UCLA vs. Nebraska game

-- RECAP: Live chat with Big Red Zone Insider Sean Callahan of HuskerOnline.com
The Huskers (2-1), wearing alternate black jerseys instead of their traditional home red, looked to be in total control the first half.
Then they couldn't stop Hundley and a UCLA offense that gained 653 yards while beating them a year ago at the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins (2-0) scored 35 unanswered points in 16 minutes. The barrage started with Paul Perkins' 10-yard touchdown run to cut Nebraska's lead to 21-10 at the half.
Jordon James scored from 3 yards before Hundley threw TD passes of 28 yards to Shaquelle Evans, 12 yards to Phillip Ruhl and 3 yards to Nate Iese.

NCBA: Pre-Convention Tour to Highlight Florida's Rich Agricultural History
DENVER — Participants registered for the 2013 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show can count themselves in for an exciting, jam-packed week. In addition to participating in policy committee meetings, educational events and networking with thousands of cattlemen and women, convention participants will also have the opportunity to learn about Florida's rich culture and history during a pre-convention agricultural tour on Feb. 4-5, 2013.
"This year's pre-convention tour will give cattlemen and women the opportunity to see Florida's vibrant agricultural economy and explore the state's unique history," said NCBA President J.D. Alexander. "From a visit to a central Florida cattle operation to a stop at a vineyard, tour participants are going to have a fun and educational experience during this tour."
The tour kicks off with a Monday night dinner at the Florida Cattlemen's museum exhibit and Cracker Country, a rural Florida living history museum recreating rural pioneer Florida history and folk life during 1870-1912. The Florida Cattlemen's museum exhibit traces cattle ranching from its early beginnings in colonial Florida through present-day cattle ranching. Some of the topics included in the exhibit are colonial Florida, Seminole cattle ranching, cracker cowboys, cow dogs, auctions, oral traditions and rodeo.
On Tuesday, the first stop on the tour will be Barthle Brothers Ranch, a diversified agricultural operation in central Florida. The Barthle family breeds purebred American Brahman cattle, raises American quarter horses, produces crossbred calves and offers guided quail and turkey hunts at the ranch.
The Crystal Springs Preserve at Two Rivers Ranch is the next stop. Known as "Florida's Premier Living Laboratory," Crystal Springs Preserve is a 525-acre sanctuary devoted to environmental education and dedicated to the preservation of Florida's natural environment. Don't forget to wear closed-toe shoes that can get muddy or wet!
Tour attendees can bring back some fresh picked strawberries from Wishnatski Farms Strawberry Farms in Plant City. Wishnatski Farms is committed to providing the best quality produce to its consumers and has taken the lead on developing a program to ensure the highest standards in food safety and traceability.
The tour concludes with a visit to Keel and Curley Winery. Keel and Curley Winery was started in spring of 2003 in the kitchen of founder and owner, Joe Keel, a central Florida blueberry farmer who wanted to find something to do with his end of crop blueberries. The result is a host of fruit wines that will suit any palate.Participants must pre-register to take part in this tour. Spots will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis and space is limited. For more information on how to pre-register and for a schedule of the 2013 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show, visit www.beefusa.org.

Inge Wegge and Jorn Ranum spent nine months of cold, Norwegian winter in the isolated and uninhabited bay of a remote, arctic island by the coast of Northern-Norway, facing nothing but the vast Atlantic Ocean. There they built a cabin out of driftwood and other cast-off materials that washed up on shore, and ate expired food the stores would otherwise have thrown away. But the boys brought with them two items of utmost importance: Their surfboards - perhaps their biggest motivation for the arctic adventure. Because the remote bay holds a well kept secret Some of the worlds finest surfing waves...

Batting Stance Guy on Justin Upton
Word in the MLB Fan Cave from our Left-Coasters is that all cool trends start in California, but our old friend Batting Stance Guy begs to differ.
Forget about Manny Ramirez's 30-second stroll around the bases, feast your eyes on the "J-Up Robot Dismount Strut." It's taking Major League Baseball by storm.
You can take a peek at all 11 of Justin's Major League-leading home runs here, and while BSG might have embellished a little, you definitely see a little Robot Dismount Strut on his dismount after cracking some of those no-doubters. Story checks out.
With All-Star Game voting officially underway, I've got no doubt that the younger Upton will be roaming the left field at Citi Field on July 16.
Who will be joining him? Vote here until July 4. You can vote up to 25 times per day!

Dragon Warrior, called Dragon Quest in Japan, is a role-playing game for the NES developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix in 1986.
My mother bought us Dragon Warrior and River City Ransom at a garage sale, and I found both games to be a lot of fun. Although, by today's standards, Dragon Warrior is a pretty dull game. I spent a lot of time playing this at my cousin's house, and I remember my aunt, who is very religious, being very concerned about the game having a warlock in it.
I have beat the NES game and maxed out my stats.
- Overall: 4/10
- Best Version: NES
- The monster graphics are fantastic.
- Even with the game's rather poor audio driver, the music is quite good. Enix was wise to hire a professional composer.
- There player sprite graphic changes when he's holding a sword, shield, and the princess. A nice touch.
- Showing the evil Charlock Castle surrounded by swamp in the distance is a nice way of letting the player imagine how awful it's going to be. Although, it create a plot hole: why doesn't Alefgard have boats?
- The ending fight is really great, and, despite it's age, the game has an enjoyable cut-scene.
- There isn't much to do in the game. If grinding wasn't necessary, you could talk to every NPC, collect every items, traverse every map, and beat the game in about an hour.
- The combat is very basic. You can only attack, run, or cast one of six spells. Although, I tend to prefer this over games where combat is a convoluted mess of options.
- The save-the-princess trope wasn't quite as bad at the time, but it's embarrassing now. Especially since you have to literally carry Gwaelin all the way back to the castle causing her to professes her love to you (which she gives to you as a telepathic item). Interestingly, you can actually beat the game without rescuing her!
- Even with only a handful of items, several of them are useless like the Fighter's Ring, Cursed Belt, and Necklace of Death.
- The ending represent the only real role-playing element in the game, and it's pretty predictable.
- The game is painfully grind heavy. The designers would need to make enemies give about 10 times the experience they do to make the game bearable by today's standards.
