Vince Royale
Jersey City native,Vince Royale was always the class clown, though he never thought comedy would be his career. Currently living in Los Angeles, the former retail salesman turned stand-up comedian and reality show star of Logo/MTV's "Bad Sex" and regular on FOX's "Laughs" has been performing in Los Angeles hot spots and New York night clubs for the past seven years. Vince is extremely down-to-earth and full of charisma and he has an uncanny ability to turn the things he sees into world class jokes. He is humble and says that his passion for comedy and ability to do what he loves in front of an audience is indeed a blessing.
Vince will be the first one to tell you that his success with comedy truly happened by accident. After a few cocktails with a group of friends at a local Southern California bar, Vince swooped on stage at an open mic and made everyone laugh out loud. He was so funny that the club's owner invited him to come back the very next week to perform in a comedy contest. Vince agreed to do the show; it's a good thing he did because he won.
"I followed my passion," Vince explained. "My mom wanted me to become a doctor, but I couldn't stand the sight of blood."
It's a good thing he chose comedy over surgery because after only a few years performing stand-up, Vince has already shared the stage with a number of well-known comedians that include Louis C.K., Russell Peters, Jim Gaffigan, and Martin Lawrence. However, it was comedian Tommy Davidson that inspired him to take his act to the next level. Vince says that he was doing at least three shows a night, up to five days a week when he met Davidson at the "Laugh Factory" in California. He asked the former In Living Color star what else he should be doing to further his career. Davidson, sharp-tongued, proclaimed, "Do it seven days a week."
Vince took his advice and has been performing comedy non-stop ever since.

DENVER – Brek Shea is back with the US national team, but it's still unclear exactly what role he'll play, if any, during two huge World Cup qualifying matches against Costa Rica and Mexico during the next week.
The 23-year-old former FC Dallas winger told MLSsoccer.com following the team's abbreviated training session on Monday at the University of Denver that his surgically repaired left foot is still healing, but he's willing to give whatever minutes he can during the team's match against Costa Rica on Friday night.
"The foot … it's getting there," said Shea, who walked at times with a slight but noticeable limp during the team's session. "I came back early and I've been able to play, but obviously it still bothers me a little bit. But I can play, and I want to be in here. I've been gone for awhile."
Not long ago considered a staple in the US starting lineup, Shea fell out of favor at times with head coach Jurgen Klinsmann during 2012 and appeared off the bench during the group stage of World Cup qualifiers last year. At least some of that, however, can be attributed to a nagging injury, which eventually required offseason surgery in November to remove a bone in his foot.
READ: Klinsmann explains roster omission of Carlos Bocanegra
He was initially given a recovery time of three months, but he returned to the fold with new club Stoke City earlier than expected, making his debut in England on Feb. 23 against Fulham. He appeared again off the bench vs. West Ham on March 3, but did play during the team's game last Wednesday against Newcastle.
Asked Monday what kind of minutes he can give the US team this week, Shea smiled and toed the company line.
"Whatever Jurgen gives me," he said. "I mean, I probably won't … my foot can't take a lot, but I can play. I can definitely play.
"It's weird, because this morning it hurt and we barely played soccer tennis, and then this afternoon it felt great. So it's one of those things, where one day it feels really good and another day it doesn't feel good at all."
Shea hasn't played with the US team since a 1-0 win over Jamaica on Sept. 11, and hasn't started since the team's historic 1-0 win over Italy on Feb. 29, more than a year ago.
"Brek is getting back into a rhythm and getting some playing time, and we want to see where he is right now," Klinsmann said during a teleconference on Monday. "We need to work with him the next couple of days, but we are pretty confident that he can add another element to our group here."
READ: Zusi, Besler have new goal with US national team: Become indispensible
A healthy Shea would likely man the left side of the midfield for the US team – he might even be an option at left back, in a pinch – but now the addition of veteran speedster DaMarcus Beasley adds a new wrinkle to the mix. Seattle Sounders forward Eddie Johnson has also been used on the left side in the past, and was deployed as a winger in the team's 2-1 loss to Honduras last month.
Shea, however, is simply happy to be back in the mix and to see what he can contribute in 2013.
"A new year and a new environment, I think it's good for me," he said. "Last year was a struggle for me, and I had a lot of ups and downs. But that's life. I'm here and I'm happy, I can't complain about anything."

Legislation that would exempt agent commissions from the medical loss ratio (MLR) calculation mandated under the health care reform law passed a House committee today.
The bill is H.R. 1206. It is sponsored by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga. It was introduced last March.
The bill was passed by voice vote by the House Energy and Commerce Committee (E&C). The vote was 26-14.
However, given that both the House and Senate will recess Friday until after the November election, final action is unlikely before late fall.
And, the legislation is controversial and while it could pass the House, its future in the more evenly-divided Senate is problematic, according to analysts at Washington Analysis.
The bill has strong support within the agent community, with the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (IIABA), the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU) all voicing strong support.
However, Charles E. Symington, senior vice president for government affairs for the IIABA, acknowledged in a statement that the "the window of opportunity for the bill to become law this year is quickly narrowing."
He said the IIABA commends the bill's sponsors, Rogers and Barrow, for their diligent work on this issue and asks Congress to build on "recent momentum to pass this crucial fix."
Moreover, Democrats on the committee are even challenging arguments advanced by supporters on the committee that the impact on insurance agents from the MLR is "devastating," and is impacting jobs.
The provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) limits administrative costs on health care premiums to 15 percent on large groups and 20 percent on small group and individual market premiums.
The legislation only impacts agents serving the small group and individual markets.
The bill also requires Health and Human Services (HHS) to defer to state insurance commissioners regarding requests for MLR waivers.
In asking the committee to report out the legislation today, Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the committee, said that, PPACA's MLR requirement gives the HHS sweeping power over the design of health insurance at the expense of consumer choice."
He added that, "The MLR rule also punishes agents and brokers who help families and employers find an affordable health plan that best fits their needs."
However, E&C panel Democrats said in a background brief that while the MLR has been in effect, the number of jobs in the agent and broker field has increased not decreased.
"Since May 2012, 7,000 jobs were added, according to the non-partisan Insurance Information Institute," the Democratic statement said.
The Democratic statement also said that, "In making MLR adjustment requests to the HHS, no state could prove – and many never seriously contended – that the 80/20 rule was having a negative impact on consumers' ability to obtain broker services."
Another hurdle for the legislation is an HHS study released last week that said consumers have saved $2.1 billion over the last year because of the MLR.
Healthcare for America Now, which lobbied for the health care bill, also sent a statement to the committee noting that in 2012, nearly 13 million consumers received rebates of $1.1 billion from insurers with excessive administrative expenditures in the previous year.
"The 80/20 rule is also putting downward pressure on insurance premiums as insurers with high administrative costs work to become more efficient," the Healthcare for America Now, statement said.
Agents demanded prompt action.
Ryan Young, IIABA senior director of federal government affairs, said that "If the MLR calculation is not quickly corrected to exclude agent compensation, consumers are at risk of losing the professional, licensed guidance of insurance agents during this time of great change in the health insurance market."
Robert Smith, NAIFA president, said that, "Including insurance brokers' compensation in the MLR is a bad idea, so we welcome progress toward getting their commissions removed from the calculation."
Smith said that since the MLR went into effect, NAIFA members who provide health coverage "have seen their compensation decrease dramatically.
"This doesn't just hurt the brokers, but also their employees and, most importantly, the consumers who rely on them to obtain coverage and assistance in understanding the complex health care law," Smith said.

Asthma affects about 300 million people around the world, but can be difficult to diagnose. That's why scientists designed an electronic nose which can sniff the air exhaled by a patient to determine whether he or she has asthma.
The electronic noses basically consist of a bunch of gas sensors which sample and analyse inhaled and exhaled air. And based on initial testing, they're rather accurate:
In a test involving 14 people, the electronic nose proved to be 87.5 percent accurate, compared to conventional tests like fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and lung function tests, which were 79.2 percent and 70.8 percent accurate respectively.
Now if only they can combine combine these asthma detectors with breathalysers then every horrid driver could get a free medical exam before being handcuffed. [Science Daily via Inhabitat]

The Rogue Court That Made Patents So Destructive
from the cafc-cafc-cafc deptWe've written many, many times about the problems created by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, CAFC, who (among other things) is the appeals court that has jurisdiction over all patent appeals. It's a court that has been around for 30 years as of this week, and in the opinion of many, has been an unmitigated disaster. Of course, if you're a patent lawyer or a patent troll, you might think the opposite. As we've discussed in the past, CAFC has spent the last 30 years massively helping patent holders by expanding the definitions of what was patentable, and generally being much, much, much more favorable to patent holders than appeals courts had been back when jurisdiction was split among the 12 difference circuit appeals courts. With its 30th anniversary this week, Tim Lee has written a post detailing how it "wrecked the patent system." It's a great read, covering a number of key points.
Lee kicks it off by pointing to Adam Jaffe and Josh Lerner's seminal book, Innovation and Its Discontents, published in 2004. If you want to see a patent system defender turn bright red, just bring up this book. They go absolutely ballistic about it, insisting that it's all myths and lies made up by critics who don't understand the patent system. You see, in the world of patent lovers, the only people who are allowed to criticize the patent system, are those who are patent lawyers. Everyone else, in their book, simply doesn't understand the facts. Of course, when you suggest that perhaps it does make sense that economists might be able to highlight how bad patents harm the economy, they have no reasonable answer. Either way, you can't get past facts, and Jaffe and Lerner's facts clearly show a massive shift in favor of patents due to CAFC. From their book, here is the rate in which patents were found valid and infringed upon appeal from 1925 up through 2000.
...the heavy load of patent cases on the court's docket means that the judges of the Federal Circuit are constantly interacting with patent lawyers. In addition to hearing their arguments in the courtroom, they read the same patent law publications as the lawyers, hire young patent lawyers to clerk for them, and are invited to speak at events organized by the patent bar.Lee also goes into detail on how CAFC effectively "overruled" the Supreme Court on various issues related to patents, in part because, historically, the Supreme Court ignored patent issues as being petty, "commercial" disputes, unrelated the the weighty constitutional issues that it was focused on. Thankfully, over the past seven or eight years, the Supreme Court has become a lot more interested in patent issues, almost always slapping down CAFC. Even so, as Lee notes, patent lawyers know that CAFC often seems to hold itself to a different standard:
Moreover, the prestige of the Federal Circuit itself is directly tied to the prominence of patent law in the American legal system. If the Federal Circuit had followed the stricter rules in place before the court was created, patent law might have remained a legal backwater, receiving little attention from either the legal profession or the general public. That, of course, would have made the Federal Circuit a less prestigious place to work.
[....] patent appeals are exclusively heard in DC by judges who live and breathe patent law. Unsurprisingly, this leads to insular thinking. For example, when we interviewed Paul Michel, who served as the Federal Circuit's chief judge from 2004 to 2010, he didn't seem to understand the problems facing small software companies. "If software is less dependent on patents, fine then. Let software use patents less as they choose," he said, seemingly oblivious to the fact that software companies don't have the option to opt out of patent troll lawsuits.
This dismissive attitude toward Supreme Court precedents apparently survives to this day among patent lawyers. In the wake of this year's decision limiting patents on the practice of medicine, patent attorney Gene Quinn wondered, "How long will it take the Federal Circuit to overrule this inexplicable nonsense?" Obviously, the Federal Circuit can't "overrule" a Supreme Court decision. But with enough persistence, it can, and often does, subvert the principles enunciated by the nation's highest court. And when it does so, it almost always works in the direction of making patents easier to obtain and enforce.These all represent real problems and the really bizarre thing is that it makes absolutely no sense for this single court to exist. Part of the reason that we have all of the different circuits is to create differing viewpoints from different courts, which then allow the Supreme Court to consider the different opinions and to point out which is proper. But without any circuit split issues to deal with, and with that form of "judicial capture" going on in CAFC, the results are a one-way ratchet, except in the few cases where the Supreme Court decides to step in, despite a lack of circuit split. Lee points out that we could see a lot more interesting rulings if we just treated patent cases (as we used to) like most other cases, and let each circuit decide the appeals separately:
This is a pretty big problem -- and one that is much more significant and troubling that the "problem" that the government was trying to "solve" with the establishment of CAFC. The issue then was that people would "rush" to different courts to file their patent lawsuits, trying to use jurisdiction shopping to find a favorable court. Of course, switching to a single federal appeals court didn't even do anything to fix that problem. Just ask patent trolls their opinion on East Texas to see why.
The consolidation of the patent jurisdiction in a single appeals court has also deprived the judicial system of valuable viewpoint diversity. Consider Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This summer, he threw out the entire patent lawsuit between Apple and Motorola, arguing that the patent system had descended into "chaos." Posner was able to hear the case because he was temporarily filling in as a trial court judge, but the Federal Circuit—not his own Seventh Circuit—will hear appeals in the case.
Under the pre-1982 judicial structure, Posner and his colleagues on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals would have heard appeals in some of the nation's patent lawsuits. If his comments in the Apple/Motorola case are any indication, Posner would sharply disagree with some of the Federal Circuit's precedents. This kind of disagreement among appeals courts, known in legal jargon as a "circuit split," would signal the Supreme Court that it needed to step in and resolve the dispute.
Posner's skeptical view of the patent system may be explained by the fact that he's an academic as well as a judge. This background may have exposed him to academic criticisms of current patent jurisprudence that aren't as well known to other judges. Similarly, if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (based in San Francisco) were allowed to hear patent appeals, some of its judges might share Silicon Valley's skeptical attitude toward software patents. Such dissenting views would provide balance to the Federal Circuit's pro-patent rulings and give the Supreme Court the raw material it needs to fashion a sensible body of patent law.
All of this matters quite a lot. Beyond just the fact that CAFC's various rulings have massively expanded patent law (such as by recognizing that software and business methods could be patentable, despite most people believing neither were prior to CAFC's rulings, or by establishing much more restrictive rules on when a patent could be invalidated), it's become unfortunately common for some (including people we otherwise agree with) to think that the solution to the problems with today's patents is because judges aren't that familiar with patents, and thus it would be best to set up specialized courts or even specialized judges, who focus mainly on patent issues. But, of course, that seems to be making the exact same mistake all over again. Such courts or judges become victim to the same pressures as CAFC has, creating the same broken incentive structure that has resulted in such problems in the first place.
On this 30th anniversary of CAFC, it seems only reasonable that one step towards fixing the broken patent system is a simple one: end having all patent cases the jurisdiction of CAFC and send those cases back to the individual circuit appeals courts.

Evolution Hoax
|MPL TV, 23 April 2008
Adnan Oktar: For one thing, Turkey has experience of state. It has experience of empire. It has experience of running countries. And it has the ability. And the Turkish nation has remained quite sterile. In terms of moral values, Anatolian virtues have remained unimpaired. Anatolia has been preserved. That hospitality, cleanliness, moral virtue, warmth, humanity, neighborliness, compassion and altruism have remained as they were. But Europe has lost them... Europe will not be made uneasy by this. THIS IS A SALVATION FOR EUROPE. THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL BE LIKE EUROPE'S POLICEMAN AT THE SAME TIME. BECAUSE A VERY POWERFUL INSTITUTION WILL HAVE EMERGED THAT PROTECTS EUROPE, PROTECTS THE WORLD AND BRINGS THE WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY. EUROPE WILL LIVE IN PEACE AND CALM. Why should Europe not want that? Nothing will change. This system will also support NATO and the EU. THIS IS A GREAT BLESSING FOR THE EU. BECAUSE THANKS TO IT, THE EU WILL BECOME EXCEEDINGLY WEALTHY... THE LOVE OF THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL ENFOLD THEM, TOO. THEY WILL LIVE IN PEACE.
Calling on EU leaders to "Let Turkey in," Obama spoke very plainly in Parliament: Turkey's membership will broaden and strengthen the foundations of Europe.

An early Arkansas Territorial newspaper, The Arkansas Advocate, began in 1830 to compete the other newspaper in Little Rock, the Arkansas Gazette, founded in 1819. In its folds are wonderful glimpses of Ozark life at the time. In the following story is a description of Izard County, Arkansas, in 1830. Izard county was founded October 27, 1825. At the time of publication, Izard County was larger than today, and it was one of only 3 northern counties in the Arkansas Territory. I have culled a few map images of this region in its earlier time. This article was penned by Mr. C. F. M. Noland. In his narrative, one can imagine the wide expanse of our Ozarks' History.

Izard County
From this to the next settlement, a distance of 17 miles, the land appears somewhat better; here we find another grist mill and another saw mill, both of which meet with much encouragement. Eight miles further on is a branch of White river, called the Big North Fork; it is about 80 yards in width and at least 100 miles in length; in other countries it would be called a navigable river as it now is in freshets for some distance. It is settled for 30 or 40 miles up, presents much rich bottom and a good deal of tillable upland. About 20 miles from its mouth, it breaks off into creeks, many of which upon their borders, present many inviting situations, and the country adjoining becomes for some distance level and rich. At the junction of this stream with White river, stands the Seat of Justice, Liberty; its situation is elevated and commanding; as yet, how-ever, like most of the little towns, it is not much improved; in proportions as the settlements increase so will this place, in importance. At this time it has a store, a blacksmith shop, and a good Tavern, where is to be found good cheer upon moderate terms. Opposite to the town is another store and a cotton gin nearly competed.
|Map Of The United States By J.H. Young. Published by S. Augustus Mitchell. Entered ... Pennsylvania, October 10th, 1831 by S. Augustus Mitchell. Engraved by J.H. Young, D. Haines & F. Dankworth.
For 30 miles farther the hills and mountains are numerous, then for 10 miles the lands are rich and thickly settled, until we reach the Little North Fork, about 40 yards in width and 60 miles in length; here, near the mouth, is another sawmill and here too, within a short distance of the main river, is an inexhaustible mine of Iron ore, and if the reports of those who have examined it be true, of which there is no reason to doubt, it will yield to no other in richness; for it is said to be almost malleable. Wood is plenty immediately joining to it, and water power sufficient for machinery of any kind. It will yet be the source of wealth to some enterprising capitalist, for in addition to the many advantages which it presents, the iron could be shipped immediately from the works, and the counties below, bordering upon the river, would be a market calculated to take much of its labor. Above this stream we see consider-able good land, and pass Swan and Bull Creeks, and many others, all of which not only have settlements on them, but present many fine openings to the emigrant.
Forty miles farther we strike James' Fork of White river a stream equally as large and long as the Big North Fork, The bottoms are tolerably large and in proportion as it is ascended, becomes more open until about 30 miles from the mouth a level country is readily seen really and truly inviting, fine land, the best of water and health, if it is to be found anywhere. This stream is settling fast, particularly by persons from Missouri. It has become in some measure noted for its lead mines, the ore of which is plainly perceptible to the eye across the whole bed of the stream; it is said to be very rich though it has never been regularly worked. The Indians and others occasionally run their lead from it. On the west side of the river, the prairie opens and extends as is supposed to the Rocky Mountains. There is a road from here to Washington County, and another to St. Louis, both of which are said to be a good deal traveled. The country generally above this and on the head of White river and its tributaries is very similar to that of Washington County. Heretofore, the country and its streams have been spoken of only on the north side of White river; that on the south side is far from being undeserving of notice. Until 1828 it formed a part of the Cherokee nation, and was always deemed the most inviting part of Izard County.
|A New Map Of Arkansas with its Canals, Roads & Distances by H.S. Tanner. Entered ... 1833 by H.S. Tanner ... Pennsylvania. Published by H.S. Tanner Philadelphia.
The lands upon the river have been described, but some distance back along the line of Independence, is a large tract called the Rich Woods, said to be well watered and almost large enough for a county. There are but a few families settled here, all of whom speak in the highest terms of the adjacent lands. It is so lately that this part of Izard has been open for settlement, that its advantages and good lands are almost unknown; it is well therefore, to pass on to Buffalo creek, a distance of 50 miles, though in doing so a number of small creeks must be passed unnoticed.
Buffalo creek is upward of 40 miles in length, its bottoms are tolerable good and will give room to a considerable settlement; near its mouth is a large salt petre cave, which a few years since, was extensively worked. The next stream is Crooked creek, which has long had a high reputation; it is 60 miles long and though inclined to be poor and rocky near its mouth, yet a few miles up a beautiful country is found, and it continues up to its head; its bottoms are large, and the uplands, generally undulating, rich as can be desired; springs are so numerous here that they are discovered in every direction. The land continues good to Bear creek. The character of this little stream is, generally speaking, similar to that of Crooked creek. These two creeks are beginning to present farms not only immediately upon the margin, but in the open country, which breaks off level, occasionally giving a view of small prairie sufficiently large for good farms.

In giving a description of Izard County, it is perhaps, going too near the Washington C. H. [Court House], but as it is located on White river, a full description of its tributaries, however superficial, should be given. It is a rare case in Izard County, to find a farmer without a first-rate spring, which no doubt adds very much to the health of the inhabitants. It has increased by slowly in population from the fact that it was a great measure unknown, and until within two years, the part situated on the south side of the river, belonged to the Indians. It is now, however, increasing considerably in numbers, and no doubt will continue to do so in proportion as it becomes better known. It is but lately that the inhabitants have devoted any part of their attention to the cultivation of cotton, yet this year they will probably export nearly 100 bales.
States of America. Maclure, William. 1838. Printed by John Wilbank,
The inhabitants of Izard, like all the other counties bordering on White river, receive their supplies in kneel boats; they too, call loudly for a steam-boat to ascend the river, for they would be prepared, like every other family in the north, to buy their groceries and such other articles as they might need; and a full load upon such terms as could be afforded to be sold at, would occasion no delay, and give a handsome freight and commission. It would scarcely be believed, that six counties, with a population of 7 or 8,000 could, sending off near a 1,000 bales of cotton, besides peltries, furs, etc., and importing 250 tons of merchandise, have never been visited by a single steam-boat. One trip would soon induce another, for the harvest awaiting the coming of the first is truly a rich one. Then, too, emigrants desirous of settling on the waters of White river, would have an opportunity of ascending with less labor and expense. Many parts of Izard County are similar to Washington, the farmers are kind and hospitable, and provisions cheap and plenty.

Theory of Ballistic Nanotransistors
Published on
Numerical simulations are used to guide the development of a simple analytical theory for ballistic field-effect transistors. When two-dimensional electrostatic effects are small, (and when the insulator capacitance is much less than the semiconductor (quantum) capacitance), the model reduces to Natori's theory of the ballistic MOSFET. The model also treats twodimensional electrostatics and the quantum capacitance limit where the semiconductor quantum capacitance is much less than the insulator capacitance. This new model provides insights into the performance of MOSFETs near the scaling limit, and a unified framework for assessing and comparing a variety of novel transistors.

Day 2 of NEA's back-to-school tour: Columbia gets cash grant
Stop is part of multi-city tour to highlight innovation, collaboration in public schools
COLUMBIA, Mo. - August 24, 2010 -
As students across the country headed back to school, the president of the nation's largest teacher's union stopped by a Columbia public school to hear about its plans to improve student learning—and to deliver an NEA grant to help local educators close achievement gaps.
NEA President Dennis Van Roekel visited Alpha Hart Lewis Elementary School today and presented a $10,000 grant to educators to boost efforts already underway in the 17,000-student school district.
"The truth of the matter is we're not delivering for every student and we should be, but we can't do that without community and parent involvement," said Van Roekel. "All stakeholders must be at the table, working together for the benefit of students."
Accompanying the NEA president were Missouri-NEA President Chris Guinther, Columbia Education Association President Susan McClintic and Chris Belcher, superintendent, Columbia Public Schools, who shared tips on increasing parental and community engagement in schools—two key ingredients necessary to transforming low-performing schools.
"This grant comes at an opportune time," said Belcher. "The funds will be used to further enhance community engagement around the district's achievement gap. With the district's free and reduced-price lunch population continuing to grow, these funds will help the district open a dialogue with the community about how we can tackle the achievement gap together."
The Missouri-NEA president agreed that more collaboration is needed. "Here in Missouri, we've made gains over the years in closing achievement gaps, but we're not satisfied with our progress," said Guinther. "We need to accelerate our efforts."
Educators in other communities have used NEA grants to increase parental and community engagement in schools and boost student achievement.
- Oklahoma City, Okla.: At Putnam City West High School, educators used an NEA grant to change the way teachers related to parents of Hispanic students, and as a result, parents became more engaged in their children's education. Between 2008 and 2009, the number of graduating Hispanic students rose by nearly 70 percent.
- Little Rock, Ark: A public engagement grant helped educators involve parents and community members in schools. As a result, the achievement gap in mathematics narrowed by 20 percentage points for African-American fifth graders: 45 percent scored "proficient" in 2009, compared to 25 percent in 2006.
- Columbus, Ohio: Educators worked with parents and members of the Linden community to build support for a groundbreaking plan to transform a failing school into a new school that will serve students in grades 7-12 with a curriculum that revolves around STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
The back-to-school tour welcomes students and their teachers to a new school year, and it spotlights public school innovation, partnerships and teacher- and union-led initiatives—all of which are helping transform low-performing schools. NEA is hosting a national summit on family/parental engagement on September 13-14 in Washington, D.C., that will bring together parents, educators and elected leaders from around the country.
On to Columbus, Ohio
The NEA back-to-school tour travels next to Columbus, where Van Roekel will visit South Mifflin Elementary School to hear first hand from educators and administrators who are creating new ways to ensure student success. Joining Van Roekel to announce a districtwide service-learning grant will be Gov. Ted Strickland, Ohio Education Association President Patricia Frost-Brooks, Columbus Education Association President Rhonda Johnson, and Columbus City Schools Superintendent Gene Harris, along with state and local education leaders and partners.

Editor's note: Brenna Ehrlich and Andrea Bartz are the sarcastic brains behind humor blog and book Stuff Hipsters Hate. When they're not trolling Brooklyn for new material, Ehrlich works as an associate editor at Mashable.com and Bartz is news editor at Psychology Today.
(CNN) -- Let's talk about your last cell phone bill.
Somewhere on there is a timer of the minutes you spent yammering away on the phone -- not texting, not surfing the net, but actually engaging in voice-to-voice communication.
Unless you talk to your mom every night or are in a long-distance relationship (to either case, I condescendingly say, "... really?"), you probably used all of about 19 minutes in the last month -- rounded-up snatches of 47-second-long convos, quick fumbling exchanges as you tried to figure out if Johnny had made it to the show yet or if your favorite scarf had surfaced at that sticky bar from late last night.
We're so heavily reliant on our myriad means of written communication these days that the phone call threatens to go the way of the handwritten letter. And this, dear readers, is a terrible thing.
We get it: The phone is scary. (I'm arching my eyebrows especially at you, Generation Y.)
In an extremely informal poll, 100% of the people I bothered on G-chat consider themselves "bad on the phone."
But as we've noted before, digital communication -- tweets, Facebook messages, e-mails and the like, are fraught with peril -- a tangled worldwide Web of miscommunication, bungles and snafus.
So this is our challenge to you telephobes: Use your phone three times this next week.
Yes, you may sound a little nervous or talk over the other person. You'll also be amazed at how thoroughly and efficiently you can take care of things when you give your carpal tunnel-wracked paws a rest and let your voice box do the talking. Why? Let me count the ways.
First off, you'll pick up all sorts of subtle information. We're social creatures, but for much of evolution, instant communication involved talking face-to-face.
So our brains evolved to be incredibly masterful people-readers -- we can instantly, and quite accurately, read emotions in others' faces and body language, and respond accordingly.
Even sound carries a lot of emotional info; people can correctly identify not only basic emotions like anger and fear but also super-specific feelings like embarrassment, awe and interest in quick, wordless "vocal bursts," according to research published in the journal Emotion.
Online communication? Not quite so telling (and no, emoticons do not help). And not only do we not understand each other, we still think we're understanding one another just fine.
In a 2005 study from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, people who wrote one-sentence e-mails were supremely overconfident in both their ability to communicate and their ability to detect sarcasm, seriousness, anger and sadness over e-mail.
"Netspeak represents a largely inadequate mode of communication, one characterized by informality to the point of sloppiness, curtness to the point of rudeness, and a childlike avoidance of complex ideas," psychiatrist Elias Aboujaoude writes in his new book, "Virtually You."
On the phone, however, the odds of misunderstanding one another plummet. Suddenly, "We can totally see that movie if you want!" sounds like "(Sigh) We can totally see ... that movie ... if you want."
And if you are a smart significant other, you can choose another flick and sidestep an evening of listening to haughty sighs.
A related benefit: On the phone, you get an early gauge of your interactions. This was true in the era of blind dates and it's true in this era of online dating (which is basically a series of not-quite-blind-but-basically-myopic dates, right?)
No matter how many witty messages you've exchanged, a 10-minute phone call will show if you have the same sense of humor, if there's a certain kindness or curiosity or whatever in his or her voice, and if he/she has an unacceptably weird tone or prosody or accent. (Kidding on the last one. Sort of.)
And if chatting is a blast, you can be that much more confident going into your first meet-up.
Think of it this way: Ever conducted a job interview over the phone?
You get less info than if you'd met the candidate in person, but a hell of a lot more info than if you'd hired based on a resume and cover letter alone. And it's thanks to those intangibles -- subtle conveyors of personality -- in the spoken word.
The last big benefit of talking instead of typing is saving time. This is especially true in the complicated pas de deux of work e-mails -- you can have a long volley to figure something out (a plan, a meeting, a detail, whatever), or you can pick up the phone and just hash it out.
The same thing is true of making plans with friends: A quick discussion of mutually convenient times beats the slow back-and-forth of texted possibilities:
Person 1: "Great! How's Monday?"
Person 2: "Rats, Monday's no good for me. Wednesday?"
Person 1: "Can't do Wednesday but maybe Friday?"
Person 2: "I could do early Friday."
Person 1: "What's early?"
Person 1: (bangs head against desk repeatedly)
Sure, there are some programs out there to eliminate the back-and-forth -- if you both use Google calendars, the Smart Rescheduler automatically finds mutual free time -- but for the most part, real-time planning is the time- and annoyance-saving option.
Thirty years ago, newspaper columnists weren't trotting out weekly treatises on telephone etiquette, and yet here we are, regularly pointing out all the ways you're lousing up your e-communication. (Much to the chagrin of some of you -- hi, guys!)
That's because -- surprise! -- the phone is actually really easy. So stop tapping out long texts, puzzling over how to fit a complex thought into a 140-character DM, and panicking when a friend you've just texted calls -- hitting "silence" and then later claiming you were in a library and couldn't pick up.
Become the person who calls in response to a text. Silent missives are great, but before our vocal chords get all rusty from disuse, let's make telephobia a thing of the past.

With the federal government having shut down Megaupload on charges of copyright infringement, scammers betting on the gullibility of former Megaupload users are trying to make a sleazy payday. According to TorrentFreak, users of Megaupload have received letters from a non-existent German law firm called "Dr. Kroner & Kollegan," which claims to be acting on behalf of copyright holders Universal, Sony, EMI, Warner, and Dreamworks.
Legal threats against Internet users who share copyrighted files are not unheard of, so former Megaupload users may be legitimately concerned. But TorrentFreak, which posted a screenshot of the fake letter (written in German), notes a few points that help show it's fake.
"Supported by fake IP addresses and timestamps, the scam 'lawfirm' lays out its case," TorrentFreak reports. "Since the user has downloaded unauthorized copyrighted material from Megaupload they are now liable for fines of 10,000 euros should the case not be dealt with effectively. But for a payment of just 147 euros the whole thing can be made to go away. Other suspicious elements aside, no specific copyright works are named and the claim is missing the usual 'cease and desist' element common to these schemes."
Users who fall for the scam would end up making cash payments to an address in Slovakia. It's unclear how the scammers are identifying former users of Megaupload. While the site was well-known for its users sharing pirated content, we noted in a story after Megaupload was shut down that it had numerous legitimate uses as well.
Separately, TorrentFreak said another group of scammers is using malware to trick file-sharers into paying 50 euros to avoid being sued for copyright infringement. The scammers in this case are posing as a German anti-piracy group that helped take down several file-sharing sites.

Looks like we had the same idea this week. :) I had no idea about thred up doing such wonderful things. I need you thrifters to take me aside and teach me your ways. I have tried and tried to find thrifted items, even at thred up, and just never have any luck.ReplyDelete

It is very interesting how the term #badass means something entirely different from when I was younger!ReplyDelete

#badassmoms.....I love it.ReplyDelete
Well those certainly are badass boots!ReplyDelete
I love the fact that they've supported teachers in the past - I'm a teacher and so was my Mum. Shame that they chose to limit their hashtag to be mom related one; not all women are Mums and that feels somewhat exclusive but just my two pence worth!
Loving how you paired those boots with the light denim! Perfect transition to fall!ReplyDelete
Love your neutrals with the utility jacket! ThredUP really does have some great things!ReplyDelete

Love this post Laura! Woman are expected to do it all nowadays and what makes it so bad ass is the ones that make it look easy.ReplyDelete
Love this look. the white jeans are fantastic for Fall!
xx, Elise
I just found a pair of white pants at the thrift store last week (for a total deal) and I've been looking for ways to wear it in the fall! This look is really cute. Just pinned it;)ReplyDelete
Thanks for hosting!
I love utility jackets - nicely worn !ReplyDelete
I've really been enjoying ThredUp. I like your jacket.ReplyDelete
It is interesting to think that being a badass is now something we aspire to, but it's true, we all want to be those strong, powerful, and respected women.ReplyDelete
Love seeing more white denim for fall - always a favorite!
I'm loving the white jeans and how you styled them for fall with the boots! Such a great post, and love that ThredUP has this #badassmom series!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this Laura - not only the pretty polished outfit, but also the message behind it. Have you read the book You are a Badass by Jen Sincero? Gina gifted me with the book and I know others who are reading it, or have read it. It's all about believing in yourself and following your dreams. You may like it :)ReplyDelete
Love those over the knee boots!ReplyDelete
Sincerely, Jennie
You look gorgeous! I love Thredup and I love the series they are doing! Those OTK boots are so perfect! I love how you paired them with white jeans! Edgy for Fall!ReplyDelete
Laura, I had no idea Thredup did things like this. How cool!!! And I am so so honoured (and even more flattered) that you think I'm a badass mum. When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's more frazzled than put together. More gawky than cool. And definitely not someone confident, least of all bold. So thank you so so so much. My ego and my heart thank you XOXOXOReplyDelete
Well you are definitely a badass mom! I loved reading about everything thredUP does to empower women!ReplyDelete
And I just love your outfit - whites with browns and greens is so pretty in fall and winter!

It may be challenging to try and narrow down the best TV provider in Moody, AL. There seem to be so many choices that it's difficult to decide which is the best one for you. We provide you with the information you need to easily connect to cable, fiber optic, or satellite service whether you're looking to switch providers or are moving to another area of the city. All you need to do is enter your ZIP code, and the deals on cable TV and satellite plans are available to you. Additionally, you will also find bundled service plans that include telephone and Internet for more savings.
Wirefly can help you decide which plan you'd like for television service because we'll show you a wide range of companies. From basic packages to comprehensive plans, you'll be able to compare different providers for satellite, broadband and cable companies in Moody, AL. When you're using our website, you can also check out various upgrades like Hi-Def television and DVR options along with other add-ons. We offer plenty of information about television issues throughout our web page.
With cable TV service, the provider delivers TV through its network of trunk or fiber-optic cables. The provider's broadcasting stations send encrypted TV signals through the cables to the receivers in its customers' houses. Satellite TV service is far different, since TV signals are getting beamed from a satellite to satellite dishes.
For a consumer to get cable TV in their Moody, AL home, a receiver is required. This receiver connects to both the TV and an outlet, and the outlet has a series of cables and wires to transmit those aforementioned TV signals. To entice new customers, cable providers will often run discounts on equipment, which means it's smart for consumers to see what deals they can find when signing up for new service. Discount or no discount, it's normal for there to be a monthly fee for the use of the equipment. Cable TV is great in terms of reliability. Since it has a physical connection through the cables and the wires, it is unlikely to falter during adverse weather, giving it an edge over satellite TV in that regard.
It's simple enough to hook up cable TV, but it's not necessarily a quick process. Cable TV providers in Moody, AL can usually send out technicians to get everything installed properly for customers. The downside is these installation appointments can be expensive and time-consuming. Installation appointment costs can vary dramatically depending on the provider, with some getting up to $200. Consumers typically choose an available day and time period to set up their service appointment, and the technician gets there at some point within the time period chosen. There needs to be someone available to let the technician in during this entire time period, since there's no guarantee on the exact time that the technician will get there.
With some cable providers in Moody, AL, there are also self-installation kits available. This can help the consumer avoid waiting around for an appointment and save whatever money they would have spent on said appointment, but this method only saves time if the consumer has the technical ability to install the equipment themselves. Despite cable's many benefits, it does have one significant drawback in that it isn't available in some locations. This is particularly true in more rural places and difficult to reach areas. There must be a cable broadcast station near enough to hook up service at the home.
With satellite TV service in Moody, AL, the provider is still sending its signals out from a broadcast station, but there's a key difference. Instead of the signal going out over cables, it gets broadcast up to a satellite belonging to that provider, and then the satellite beams the signal to satellite dishes for the provider's customers. This means that the customer's home doesn't need to be in a location where it can physically connect to a broadcast station. Therefore, satellite TV service is available to many customers who couldn't get cable service.
Costs of installation vary, but they're often higher with satellite service than they are with cable service. Part of the reason for this is that satellite dishes in Moody, AL are anything but cheap. Satellite plans that don't have the dish and the installation included can cost the customer quite a bit. However, satellite providers often decide to offer both for free. Prospective customers can always read the fine print to know for sure. The main potential problem with satellite service that cable doesn't have is the impact of bad weather on the dish itself. If the dish gets blown over or damaged, it won't work properly.
With many satellite plans, the customer also gets a DVR, sometimes even an HD DVR, which lets them order On Demand content, such as the latest show and movie releases, put parental blocks on to restrict what content children can see and record all the shows they want with the push of a button. Of course, this is also a common perk offered by cable companies. In both cases, the company may provide the DVR free of charge, but there is still almost always going to be a monthly charge for it. Monthly charges for DVRs start at around $10, although they can be higher depending on the DVR the customer gets and their provider.
When it comes to internet technology, fiber optic is currently as advanced as it gets for both commercial and residential buildings in Moody, AL. This type of service also uses cables, but just like the name suggests, these are fiber-optic cables. The big plus with fiber-optic cables is that they're extremely fast and reliable, meaning their performance far surpasses that of DSL or cable internet.
There are now television service providers that have fiber-optic TV services available, and this is the latest in TV technology. Through these providers, consumers can get their TV, internet and phone service through a network of fiber-optic cables. Everything will work just as it would on a cable network, with the key differences being that speeds are much better and the service is as reliable as it gets.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

I asked this question here in Mathematica.SE but they encouraged to ask also on this site.
How can make this writing process easier from Mathematica to LaTeX? Please, note that I have a lot of variables and I want to make them visible to the reader, I am not much interested how but not over the page so have to break the equations and perhaps other formatting, possible to get it directly from Mathematica?
Mathematica Code
AA = -a*g/(A*(2*g*h)^(1/2));
aa = (F1 + F2)^2/(2*a^2*g);
Du = F1 + F2 - 1.2;
Dx = h - aa;
Px = AA*Dx - BB*Du // Simplify;
{AA, aa, BB, Du, Dx, Px} // TeXForm (*perhaps wrong way here? I want to show the above lines fast and accessible to the reader*)
\left\{-\frac{a g}{\sqrt{2} A \sqrt{g h}},\frac{(\text{F1}+\text{F2})^2}{2 a^2
g},\frac{2}{A},\text{F1}+\text{F2}-1.2,h-\frac{(\text{F1}+\text{F2})^2}{2 a^2 g},-\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2} a g
\left(h-\frac{(\text{F1}+\text{F2})^2}{2 a^2 g}\right)}{\sqrt{g h}}+4. (\text{F1}+\text{F2}-1.2)}{2 A}\right\}
My by-hand edited thing, time-consuming (too long, have to break it somehow)
{A',a',B',\Delta u, \Delta x, \partial x} := \left\{
-\frac{a g}{\sqrt{2} A \sqrt{g h}}, \\
\frac{(\text{F1}+\text{F2})^2}{2 a^2 g}, \\
\frac{2}{A}, \\
\text{F1}+\text{F2}-1.2, \\
h-\frac{(\text{F1}+\text{F2})^2}{2 a^2 g}, \\
-\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2} a g \left(h-\frac{(\text{F1}+\text{F2})^2}{2 a^2 g}\right)}{\sqrt{g h}}+4. (\text{F1}+\text{F2}-1.2)}{2 A} \\

A few days ago, I spoke about the architecture that powers Techie Buzz. In that post, I had mentioned that memcached was one of our key ingredients.
Memcache is a powerful tool to share objects across servers and it is used by several big sites including Facebook, Yahoo and many more. The best part about using memcached on your server is that you can cut down on your database queries significantly and store commonly used objects in memory and share it across multiple servers.
If you use WordPress on a multi-server setup, you can easily cut down on DB queries by up-to 50% by implementing memcached. If you are interested in knowing how to implement memcached on your server, here is a tutorial. The assumption is that you are using Ubuntu, if not, the installation steps might change.
How To Install Memcached And Configure It
Step 1: Install memcached using the command given below
sudo apt-get install memcached
Step 2: After you have installed memcached you will have to configure it through a .conf file, to do that use the command given below
vi /etc/memcached.conf
Step 3: In the configuration file you will find few parameters, you can ignore the -d, -u and logfile parameters and leave it as default. However, change the -m, -p and -i parameters to suit your servers. The -m parameter specifies the memory that will be allocated to memcache. The -p parameter specifies the port that memcached will run on and the -l (ell) parameter specifies the IP address the memcached server will run on. You will need to change the -l (ell) parameter value from 127.0.0.1 to a local or global IP address of your server. This is necessary because your memcached server will be accessed by outside servers and using 127.0.0.1 will not work then.
Once you have done that run the following command.
service memcached restart or /etc/init.d/memcached restart
Using Memcached With WordPress
Once you have setup your memcached server, it is time to now setup WordPress to use memcached to store your objects. To do that, head over to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/memcached/ and install the memcached plugin for WordPress. Unlike other plugins, you will have to drop this file into the wp-content directory and not the plugins directory.
You will have to install additional plugins for your server to make use of this plugin, namely PECL memcache extension which can be downloaded from http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache.
Now comes the part where you will actually tell WordPress to use memcached as an object storing mechanism. To do that, open the wp-config file and add the line below to it.
global $memcached_servers;
$memcached_servers = array('default' => array('memcache-server-ip-or-name:11211′));
The array is used to define multiple memcached servers which can be used for your site. Please make sure to edit the name/ip of the server and the port before you save the file.
That's it. Now just refresh your cache and WordPress should start storing the objects in memcache and will access your database very sparsely. Do let me know if you have any problems or difficulties in setting this up through your comments.
Bonus Note: You can browse and manage your memcache server through a WordPress plugin called WP Memcached Manager which can be downloaded at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-memcached-manager/.

This Incredible $17 iPhone 5 Accessory Bundle Turned Was Deeply Disappointing
When I held my brand new iPhone 5 in an AT&T store back in December, I knew it was love at first sight.
Then I forgot my charger at home for the first time.
The three perfectly good iPhone 4 chargers I had stashed in my desk were completely useless, and I went home with a dead phone for the first time ever.
The honeymoon phase was over.
Like the iPhone addict that I am, I knew I needed at least four backups in order to have a guaranteed source of power wherever I went.
I couldn't stomach dropping another $80 on chargers so soon after blowing $300 on a new phone, which is why I was thrilled to see an incredible Cost Brothers/Via Google Offers deal in January.
For $17 + $5 shipping, I got what looked like a pair of iPhone 5 Earpods, a 10-ft Lightning cable, a car charger and a wall charger (valued at $106 dollars).
I was only interested in the Earpods and charger (I don't drive and my old wall chargers work just fine with the iPhone 5), but since both are worth $20 - $30 a piece, I figured it was still a good deal. I went for it.
And I was deeply disappointed.
When the package finally arrived a few weeks later, I immediately tried out the headphones. They looked almost identical to the real thing.
But it didn't take long to realize these were no Earpods. Everything I listen to sounds as if I'm at one end of a tin can and the music is on the other end of the world. Other people I know who purchased the same deal were similarly disappointed.
After the earbuds, I took a closer look at the wall charger. According to the label, it's made by a generic brand called "Happy China." The same plug sells for a measly $1.52 on Amazon.com. There are no manufacturers labeled on the other items in the bundle, so I couldn't check.
Maybe all of the items in this kit would be valued at $106 if they were manufactured by Apple, but as far as I can tell, these are exactly the kind of generic knockoffs tech experts predicted would flood the market soon after the new phone was released. I've had $5 earbuds from Big Lots that sound better than what Cost Brothers is selling.
Earlier today, I called up Cost Brothers as a regular customer with a complaint. A representative answered after the third ring, was perfectly polite and even offered to send a replacement pair of earbuds to me straight away.
But when I called again later and asked to speak with a press representative, they were less than helpful. The person I spoke with (someone named Oscar) told me they "never said the accessories were from Apple" and promptly hung up on me.
The problem, however, isn't that the product isn't Apple-made. It's that they say it's valued at $106 when it's safe to say it's not. I reached out to a press rep for Google Offers, which is still running the same deal through April, and am waiting to hear back.
The takeaway: If you're looking for low-cost Apple accessories, just know what you're getting yourself into. Most of those amazing deals are simply knockoffs. I did get an extra charger out of the deal, and it works fine as far as I can tell, but I can't help but feel like I paid $22 for five items and got only one that's of any use. I might as well have shelled out the $30 for a new charger from an actual Apple store and saved on shipping.
