Seabrook Middle School is place of excellenceBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 06. 2013 7:30PM
SEABROOK - Audrey Notargiacomo and Baylee Cox picked a good day to paint their faces half blue and half white to show their pride for Seabrook Middle School.
On Monday, the state Department of Education brought students, faculty and other school staff together to announce the big news: For the first time, Seabrook Middle School was recognized as the Middle School of Excellence, an honor presented through the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards Program.
For eighth graders like Baylee, the news was bittersweet. The 13-year-old will be leaving the award-winning school and heading off to high school next year.
"I'm going to miss it," she said.
The award was kept hush-hush until Monday, when the school learned that it earned the middle school award for its high standards of excellence.
The honor is often referred to as an "Edies" Award and has been sponsored by McDonald's owner/operators in New Hampshire since it began 20 years ago.
East Kingston Elementary School and Bedford High School were also recognized Monday.
Seabrook Middle School was chosen after members of a selection committee visited to see for themselves how students were being taught.
During the visit, the committee "felt a sense of community that was unbelievable," Barbara Gondek, chairman of the middle school selection committee, told the 300 students and 50 teachers and staff members who gathered for the assembly.
The school was scored in several areas, Gondek said, and became the first middle school to score above and beyond exceptional in every area.
State Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, praised the school for its achievement and read a message from the Senate.
"I know how tough it is to get this award. Those standards are really stiff and you guys have done a tremendous job. Thank you to the staff and to the students and to the administration for such great, great work," she said.
Principal Les Shepard said the award was a "wonderful recognition" for students, staff and the community.
"We have a great school here. We have great kids here. We have supportive parents and other community members," he said.
The award-winning schools will be honored at an EDies award celebration on June 8.

Lets meet the girls, shall we? Here is a link to our photo gallery, so you can see what these women look like. Here
The first girl is 24 year-old Jamie. She is an assistant buyer from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In her bio on the NBC website, she thinks it is difficult to meet that special someone because she has an extremely busy lifestyle with her school and her business. All work and no play, huh? Which of you guys want to help Jamie out with her little problem here? Take a number, guys.
Next up, Lauren. She is 24 years-old and hails from Winchester, Massachusetts as an Administrative Assistant. She claims that guys are intimidated by her because she went to Harvard. On a vacation trip, Lauren? C'mon, you know I had to ask, considering her vocation is listed as an Administrative Assistant. Dont get me wrong, many days I think it would have been easier for my Executive Assistant to graduate from Harvard than to put up with me and my requests! And don't ask me to compare and contrast her respective value with that of my Harvard-educated Analyst. I have nothing but the highest of respect for Adminstrative Assistants, but a Harvard education is rarely a prerequisite for this profession.
Moving along to Leslie from Boca Raton, Florida. She is an Event Planner. Hands up, everyone! Who thinks that means wedding planner? J Lo has proved to us, time and time again, why men really need to stay far, far away from Wedding Planners. Oh, and she is 24 years-old also.
Now we are introduced to 26 year-old Rachel, a flight attendant from Chicago, Illinois, who apparently thinks she is pretty good in bed. She must be a charter member of the Mile High Club. Rachel thinks she is funny. So do we. And not in a good way.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Thats my first impression of Meredith. She is the only girl with short hair, and seems to have a really spunky personality. She is from Dallas, Texas and works as a Branch Manager. According to her bio on NBC, she thinks it is difficult to meet someone because Jerry Seinfeld is married already and Mr. Right never seems to be at the bar she is at. Honey, this is NBC. I very much doubt he is on this show, either.
The girl following Meredith was Rebekah. Rebekah is a 23 year-old bartender from West Palm Beach, Florida. She describes herself as a go-getter. For some reason, the moment I see her, I start having flashbacks to Coyote Ugly. I can totally picture Rebekah dancing on the bar. Not coincidentally, so can the guys Im watching the show with. We muse as to whether we have been to the bar where she bartends.
Melayne is 23 years-old, a Communications Specialist from Mesa, Arizona. As on all reality shows, there must be one woman that is a virgin. After all, you cant expect NBC to find 16 women wanting to be on this dating show, looking good in the hot tub, and clean of all transmittable diseases without hitting up the virgin population. Melayne thinks it is difficult to meet someone because she is too picky. I really think that Melayne is miscast on this show. NBC should have used picky Melayne to help them select the eligible bachelor for this television series. But, I digress and get ahead of myself.
And then, we meet Pilates Instructor Beth. Beth is 27 years-old and from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Beth shares with us that she is always the other woman. On her NBC bio, she claims that it is difficult to meet someone because, well basically, she is too lazy to get out and meet people. Ummm
this girl needs help on how to present herself. Can this girl shoot herself in the foot any further? She and Monica need to hang out together, maybe take some classes on how to present themselves better to people that they havent met yet.
I was so relieved when Tiniesha was next up. I had been holding my breath, in anticipation of someone that had some sort of diverse ethnicity that is required on these shows. Tiniesha is 24 years-old, a paralegal from Pennsauken, New Jersey. She claims that she is the total package.
We then get to be introduced to Heather. Heather is 33 years-old and is a Government Clerk in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Let me quote from her bio on the NBC website on the question as to why she thinks its so difficult to meet that special someone.
"Not many guys out there like cats and I have three! There are many reasons why it's so difficult to meet that special someone. For me, it's hard partly because of the town I currently live in. There aren't many places to go to meet eligible singles my age. Another reason is that when I do go out with friends, I rarely get approached. My male friends have told me that most guys won't approach a woman they think is attractive because they're intimidated and they fear rejection. I find this ridiculous because I am the most approachable person! I will talk to anyone who comes up to me because I think it takes a lot of guts to just walk up to a stranger and say "hi". It doesn't necessarily mean I'll take a phone number, but at the very least I might have made a new friend. You just never know who you might meet."
Hey, Heather, hope Monica, Beth and you like each other, because you all need the same class. I am not going to begin to mock poor Heather. She does it herself
Andrea is next. Andrea is 28 years-old from Marlton, New Jersey. She is also an Event Planner. According to her NBC bio, she is drawn to someone who is successful on some level and financially stable in his own right, with having said that, wealth does not define who we are...being fortunate should inspire us to appreciate life so much more. Shes so taking the money.
Step right up and greet Johanna, a 28 year-old Yoga Instructor from Phoenix, Arizona. She emphasizes that she is not competitive. Sweetie, I think you may be in the wrong place. If you want to be the yoga instructor to help soothe the nerves of the girls on the show, you needed to come on Thursday. Today is the day we are casting a group of girls to actually compete for the affections of some bachelor.
Lets get to know Melody, a 22 year-old Advertising Account Manager from Pasadena, Texas. According to her NBC bio, she thinks it will be a time consuming task to sift through everyone to find a special someone. Psst
methinks that you are starting from too large of a sample size. There are 6 billion people on this earth, and although slightly less than half of them are men, maybe you can eliminate those who you arent likely to meet, and just start with the people you know.
Ali says just about the funniest quote in this whole, long boring introductory spiel. She says that in her experience, involving other women when you are interested in a guy has never been a good thing. It naturally begs the question as to how much experience she has had involving other women. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. Hey Monica, Heather & Beth, is there any room in that class for another participant? Ali is 24 years old, from Santa Monica, California. Her listed occupation is Business Development/Philanthropy.
Last, but definitely not least, we meet PJ. Shes 24 years-old, from Rockwell, Texas, and works as an Assistant Media Buyer. Shes going full-out fever on this show. Good thing she is last, because she is really the most difficult woman for me to mock. I hope she doesnt stick around long.

While New Jersey's business groups support the idea of a health insurance exchange, they oppose an Assembly committee's attempt to create it, citing measures in the proposed legislation to increase regulatory burdens and limit health plan options for small businesses.
At a committee hearing today on the Health Benefit Exchange Act, A-3186, Christine Stearns, vice president of health and legal affairs for the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, said the health exchange advisory board and board of directors included in the bill would lack representation for small-business health plan purchasers "who have experience with shopping for coverage and making choices," as well as have the power to block insurance plans from entering the market — including those already meeting state and federal standards under the Affordable Care Act.
"Having an array of choices in health plans is what's important to small businesses. If the board is able to limit and block some of those choices, it won't benefit consumers as it's intended to do," Stearns said. "We'd like to bend the cost curve through an exchange … and we want to set up the bureaucracy needed to achieve that goal."
But Dr. Herb Conaway Jr. (D-Delran), chair of the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee, said the boards wouldn't limit the number of insurers entering the exchange, noting, "I don't believe we're going to be able to provide insurance to those who need it if the exchange goes about keeping (plans) out of the marketplace."
Still, Wardell Sanders, president of the New Jersey Association of Health Plans, said in his testimony the language of the bill "empowers (the boards) to say to insurers, 'We're not going to let you offer your product on our exchange because your rate increase of 'x' amount is too much.' "
"That component would screen otherwise valid plans that are more expensive than others, and we want the consumer to make that choice, not the board," Sanders said. "To have the government step in and say your rates are higher, so it's screening your product — which has more value for the consumer, even though it costs more money — would not help insurers or consumers."
Sanders said another issue with the bill is that insurers would have to foot the bill for the implementation of the exchange, which he said costs roughly $40 million a year in Massachusetts.
"The Affordable Care Act does good things to address and lower costs … but this is one side of it that is going to increase costs," he said.
But Raymond Castro, an analyst for New Jersey Policy Perspective, said if the state legislators succeed in their attempt to establish a health insurance exchange and implement public outreach efforts before the Oct. 1, 2013, deadline for uninsured state residents to apply for health coverage, it will result in "major state savings" from federal subsidies and grants.
Diane Walsh, vice president of government affairs for the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey, said at the hearing "with the number of insurers shrinking in the individual insurance market, all willing carriers should be able to participate" in a state-run exchange, echoing Stearns' argument that the bill would limit small employers' health plan options.
Conaway said he "would certainly like to see additional players in the marketplace to offer more choices," but "we're already an open marketplace — so if (insurers) were going to be here, they would be here already."
The measure advanced out of committee to the state Assembly; a companion measure passed in the state Senate last week despite a similar skeptical response from business groups. Gov. Chris Christie vetoed an earlier version of the bill, and previously said he is waiting until early 2013 to decide whether to create a state-run exchange.

Everton boss David Moyes has slammed the string of poor refereeing decisions that have robbed his side of points this year, but sympathises with the tough task facing Premier League referees.
The Scottish manager cited games against Reading, Wigan and Newcastle in which his side have been on the wrong end of bad decisions, and urged assistants to offer more support.
"Being a referee nowadays comes with a much higher profile and it is also a much more challenging job," Moyes told reporters.
"The cameras and the technology now allow us to analyse every decision and for anyone who has never refereed a game I can tell you that it is very difficult as I do it most days in training.
"However, here comes a 'but' from me. What we've had in recent games, starting at Reading a few weeks ago, are decisions that have cost us points.
"I will always be the first person to look at the players to finish better or to defend better and not rely on decisions, but as you can see on a regular basis at the moment decisions are affecting the outcome of the games."
The Toffees boss was particularly critical of the refereeing assistants, and felt they'd deprived Everton of points against Newcastle and Wigan.
In a 2-2 draw against the Magpies, the linesmen failed to spot that Victor Anichebe's header had crossed the line while a Marouane Fellaini strike was wrongly ruled out for offside.
"Some of the decisions that have gone against us have been made by the assistants – Newcastle and Wigan for example," Moyes continued.
"I do feel that the referees are not being supported by their assistants and are, on occasions, being let down by them.
"I will continue to try and support the Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) but they must work to improve their standards throughout the game."

OK, maybe in 2007 it was plausible, that the collapse at the end of the regular season can be traced to the loss in the NLCS to St. Louis. Sure, I can see where there could be a carry over.
But not now.
If the Mets don't have a killer instinct now it's because their players lack it, not because they lost with Aaron Heilman's pitch in Game 7. We're a dozen games into the season, way too soon to spot any definable personality for this team.
However, it isn't too soon to spot some definite trends.
The bullpen is much better than it has been in the last two seasons, BUT because of the starters' inability to go deeper into games there will be an eventual breakdown due to stress.
Johan Santana has been terrific, but the rest of the rotation has been a pocket full of change, which is to say a bunch of Coin Flips. I have no inkling as to what kind of start we'll see tonight from Oliver Perez. None. Good last time, but bad before that …. bad several times. John Maine has started quickly and faded. Livan Hernandez has had a good and bad outing. Eventually, three-plus innings a night for the pen will carry a toll.
Another inconsistency has been their inability to hit with RISP. Jerry Manuel keeps saying they should score more runs, but putting the pressure on is more than baserunners.
Pressure is defined as scoring. That's one of the reasons why I want Daniel Murphy down in the order where he'll get more RBI opportunities. For that matter, I'd like to see Ryan Church back in the line-up, too. They are leaving RISP at an alarming rate that only serves to put pressure on both facets of the pitching and the offense collectively.
The Mets are in St. Louis tonight which reminded me of the NLCS. I don't think that loss is in their heads. What should be in their heads is how erratic they've played this season.
The Mets are a .500 club not because of bad luck or injuries. They are a .500 club because what they deserve to be.

'Superadded Ornaments' won't save a poor design – but can enhance a good one.
by George R. Walker
Pages 16-17
From the April 2012 issue, #196
My 10-year-old son, Josh, tugged at my elbow and said, "Dad, check it out, is that cool or what?"
Parked a few yards away was a minivan encrusted with hundreds – no, make that thousands – of plastic toys glued to every square inch of sheet metal. What looked like grass sprouting from the roof was actually several battalions of green army men, along with tanks, bazookas, Pez dispensers, dinosaurs, guitar picks, Happy Meal toys and, on the hood, Wonder Woman in a pitched battle with Godzilla. I asked myself if this was part of a divorce settlement gone bad, or a desperate cry for help. Whatever the inspiration, it made us smile.

Here's the question of the day. If your name is mentioned in some kind of conversation, whether on the internet or offline, how do people identify you? Are you the founder of a company that does something? Are you a blogger? Photographer?
When they hear your name, do they associate you with a movement? Are you an expert in something? Does your reputation put you in a position of leadership or authority? Are you, like the guy I met a few weeks ago, an I.T. Project Manager?
Does your job identify you? Do you find your value – heck, do others find your value – in what you do or what you are associated with?
If the answer to any of these questions are "Yes", you have failed. The good news is, that's not the end of the story. More after the jump

We got translation and most key roles covered, but we're urgently short on manpower for the first two shows (Ano Natsu is mostly covered, but you can still apply). We're pretty chill and we won't cross-examine you, but you need to be reliably available when episodes are being worked on.
All positions but distro, try to have an example of your previous work or something; otherwise you'll get tossed our latest random side project or someone else's test to work on.

Our version will be dual audio (and maybe dual sub), therefore we will not release it once we are done, but wait for the Japanese dubs via the DVD/BD. Coincidently, the Japanese version of the anime is out in the cinemas today. Anyway, get in touch with us as soon as possible so that we can prepare the subtitles before that is available.
P.S. I would preferably like if said translator knew Tibetan too.

I'm purposefully not listing any credentials. No one knows who I am after five years of subbing anyway, but suffice it so say I've done too much.
Or if there're any translators interested in it but for whatever reason can't convince your group to sub it, Formula can accommodate you.

A heat advisory remains in effect through 7 p.m. Friday for most of the state, including the Hot Springs Village area.
The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity levels could create heat index values of at least 105 degrees, according to the National Weather Service advisory, with the dangerous temperatures reached by early afternoon and continuing for several hours each day.
Heat-related illnesses are more likely with prolonged exposure to these conditions, the Weather Service warned. In areas where appreciable rain fell recently, humidity levels will be elevated and it will feel especially oppressive.
The Weather Service advises the public to take the following precautionary measures: drink plenty of nonalcoholic fluids, take frequent breaks in an air-conditioned environment, spend less time outdoors and keep pets inside if possible or ensure they have shade and water if left outside.

Along with the Mariners, a team that is interested in his services is the Texas Rangers, as Mike Petriello reported.
The Rangers haven't had a successful offseason, by most accounts. They lost out on Zack Greinke to the Dodgers, Josh Hamilton went to Anaheim, R.A. Dickey went north of the border in a big trade, Edwin Jackson signed with the Cubs and Mike Adams left via free agency.
They've kicked the tires on Adam LaRoche and Cody Ross (who signed with the Diamondbacks on Saturday), and now have interest in Michael Bourn after signing A.J. Pierzynski.
Still, the Rangers' best route to improve this winter could be via trade. That's where the Dodgers come in.
From Friday's post, here's a list of the Dodgers' needs:
- Third base
- Second base
- Left-handed reliever
- Fourth outfielder
Mike Olt.
The 24-year-old third baseman is blocked by Adrian Beltre at third base and I don't think Texas is ready to move him off the position just yet.
Olt had a small cup of coffee this season, batting .152/.250/.182 in 40 plate appearances with the Rangers. His real damage came in the Texas League (Double-A), where he hit .288/.398/.579 with 28 home runs and 61 walks in 421 plate appearances. His strikeout rate is a tad high for my liking (24.4 percent for his minor-league career), but he offsets that with his power and good plate discipline (career 14.4 percent walk rate).
The more I look at Olt, who is a potentially plus defender at third base, the more I'd like the Dodgers to nab him in an Ethier deal. The Rangers won't be rushing to trade a talent like him, but they obviously wouldn't be opposed to moving him in the right deal.
Ian Kinsler. Just a year or so ago, it'd be inconceivable the Rangers would even entertain trading him. However, the emergence of Jurickson Profar and Elvis Andrus' elite play at shortstop have almost made Kinsler expendable. Almost.
The 30-year-old is coming off a down season in which he hit .256/.326/.423 with 19 home runs, 42 doubles and 60 walks in 731 plate appearances. He went from a 7.5 fWAR in 2011 to 3.2 in 2012. While it's unrealistic to expect he'd WAR in the sevens yearly, one would expect a better WAR than he posted.
Kinsler was a good defender at second base in 2011 (16.2 UZR/150, 18 defensive runs saved) and an unspectacular defender in 2012 (0.0 UZR/150, 1 DRS). He's in the middle of his prime, but he's on the other side of 30 (just barely). If the Rangers are going to move Kinsler, now would be the time. He just signed a 5-year, $75 million extension in April, but it'd probably be best to move him before he's not worth the contract.
All things being equal, I'd probably swap Ethier for either of these two straight-up. Texas probably wouldn't want to take on all Ethier's salary in an Olt deal, so there'd be cash and other players involved.
My proposals
To Texas: Ethier, cash
To L.A.: Olt, David Murphy
Why it works for Texas: The Rangers use one of their best trade chips to acquire their left fielder (Nelson Cruz in right field) who should have a field day in that park. He won't replace Hamilton's production, but he'll help mitigate the loss. Plus, the team keeps its double-play combo of Andrus and Profar (with Kinsler moving to first base).
Why it works for L.A.: The Dodgers get their starting third baseman and can finally rid themselves of Juan Uribe. They also get a stopgap replacement for Ethier in Murphy, who won't be nearly as good outside Texas' hitter-friendly confines.
To Texas: Ethier, Chris Withrow, cash
To L.A.: Kinsler
Why it works for Texas: The money is about even, but the team opens up a spot for Profar at second base while replacing Kinsler with a potential thumping outfielder. It also acquires a former top prospect who's local to the area (Austin) and still has a lot of arm talent. Plus, it gets to keep Olt as a potential trade chip in July.
Why it works for L.A.: The Dodgers get their leadoff man and second baseman (sorry, Mark Ellis). His production dip in 2012 is a little alarming, but he's just 30 and has time to rebound.
As is with every trade I propose on this blog, I'm not sure how realistic it is. If you look at the comments from Friday's post, you'll see I probably went a little overboard (in the Dodgers' favor) on my proposal.
While the Mariners might be a better fit (needs-wise) for the Dodgers, the Rangers might ultimately be the best trading partner because there aren't as many moving pieces.

A literature review is a unique entity among papers and essays. The "literature" would be sources of information on any given topic (i.e. editorial articles, journals, books, websites, traditional papers), and the "review" the compiling, examining, and discussion of these sources themselves. A literature review may stand alone or be used as part of a larger research paper as a sort of introduction.
Whereas a typical research paper would depend upon proper sources of information to support the writers' thesis or main argument, a literature review is concerned with discussing the sources themselves, their validity, their meaning and value in that given field. The intriguing part of writing a literature review in terms of style is that it is written as an expository essay. It requires an introduction, body, and conclusion, and is therefore different from an annotated bibliography, which would be concerned only with commenting on an alphabetized list of sources. Basically, this means that your literature review shouldn't be a bunch of summaries tied together but rather a kind of argument that develops out of a discussion of your sources.
A typical structure would contain an intro, body, and conclusion, and the body would focus on comments pertaining to:
- Historical background and previous research findings;
- recent developments in the field;
- areas up for debate/areas in need of closer examination:;
- areas of agreement;
- leading authorities' views;
- varying approaches on the subject;
- qualitative analyzes of the subject.
The literature review may be organized based on chronological research and shifting opinions over time, a theme concerning varying opinions within the field, the methods through which research has been conducted, or a review concerned with proving gaps or illogical research within the field.
A last helpful note: A literature review is NOT primarily about you or your relationship to the literature. Therefore, a literature review should NOT be organized as a narrative of your own research process.

From Penn State to football's playoff, from an enforcement restructuring to higher academic standards, Nathan Hatch's leadership of the NCAA Division Board of Directors arrives at a turbulent time for college sports.
Wake Forest's president since 2005, Hatch was elected board chairman last month. His term is two years.
"It's a very interesting time on many fronts," Hatch said during a recent phone interview. "I think overall in the last 20 years, college athletics is much more consistent in quality, much more focused on the well-being of student-athletes, has much more financial integrity.
"The whole process of certification that's been going on for the last, almost 20 years, whereby institutions have peer reviews. It's a process that has real teeth in it, has been an overall upgrading in the kind of standards of issues of racial and gender equity that have made overall college athletics much stronger.
"So I don't think there was a golden age from which we've fallen. In fact, the further back you go, the more patent the corruption was. I can remember when I started teaching at Notre Dame in the mid-1970s, I can remember an All-American tight end, Ken McAfee, took a class from me, and he said when he was recruited, except for Notre Dame, every school he (visited during his recruitment) they would put bundles of cash in his hand.
"So I think in some ways we do have problems. But I think by and large they are ferreted out and changes are made."
My interview with Hatch ended mere hours before North Carolina announced that the NCAA had found no rules violations connected to the school's burgeoning academic scandal. So I was unable to ask him about the contradiction in how the NCAA treated Penn State and UNC.
This is the second of two posts from our conversation. The first included Hatch's views on ACC matters, including the possibility of his former employer, Notre Dame, joining the conference.
Here are the remaining portions of the interview about NCAA policy:
QUESTION: So you don't believe college athletics has lost its way.
ANSWER: "I'm pretty optimistic. I do think the competitive pressures always loom and will push people to win at all costs. But that's the kind of discipline that institutions have to show.
"I (do) wish there was minor-league football. To some extent, I also wish players who didn't want to go to college could go straight to the NBA. The NCAA would like that, but that's something set by the NBA, largely influenced by the players association.
"I think if there's a problem it's that anyone who wants to play football seriously has to go to college (for three years). So in some cases I think you're forcing people to go to college who don't have necessarily the interest, disposition, and in some cases, probably ability. That's an ongoing challenge."
Q: Are you comfortable with how the Division I board and NCAA president Mark Emmert circumvented standard enforcement procedure to punish Penn State?
A: "The discussions with that were both with the executive committee, on which I sit, and the full Division I board. An overlapping group. There were probably 30 presidents and chancellors involved, and I think there was a strong sense, virtually universal, that it was the right thing to do. Something quick needed to be done.
"Certainly the thing could be studied forever, but the Freeh Report was about as comprehensive a report as one could imagine by an outside, very respected person and his staff, commissioned by Penn State itself. I do think Mark Emmert has consistently said this is an exception, that it doesn't necessarily set precedent. I support what happened."
Q: In October, the NCAA expects to adopt a new enforcement model that will entail harsher, more explicit sanctions. What is the philosophy behind this? Has the NCAA been inconsistent and lenient?
A: "I think several things are going on. There's an attempt in the enforcement (division) to streamline things, to try to sort out, so there's not so much attention to minutia and the so-called 1,000-page rulebook … and focus on what's really important, the principles behind it. …
"But then for things where there has been serious institutional failure to try and set forth more explicitly what the penalties would be and to make them substantial enough to hopefully be deterrents. … There's also going to be various panels so there also going to try to speed up the process, and I think all those things are good."
Q: In 2016, academic standards for incoming freshmen will increase dramatically. The NCAA's own data shows more than 40 percent of men's basketball signees in 2009 would have fallen short of the new guidelines. Are the changes too drastic?
A: " think there's a fine balance. … But I fully applaud this. It's going to take several years, and there's great effort to communicate with students and high schools about what the standards are and what courses need to be taken. … It's such a disservice to student-athletes who either can't do the work or get a college degree that isn't worth anything. …
"There's serious attention to whether this will negatively impact one group, particularly African-Americans. I think the answer is everyone needs to work to make sure they become student-athletes and that they have to know that in high school."
Q: A year ago, adding a $2,000 cost-of-attendance stipend to scholarships appeared to be all but done. Now the NCAA has tapped the breaks. What happened?
A: "It's a complicated issue. … There is not an equal playing field in all of Division I. Athletic budgets range from $10 million to $150 million. The assumption was when that was discussed and passed (preliminarily) was that conference by conference people would sort themselves out, and schools of lesser resource would choose not to (participate), that this was something that would not be forced but would be allowed.
"But in the competitive nature of things … schools felt like if that became the new edge of competition, then they would have to follow suit. And that's where I think it's fair to say big divisions came between better resourced and lower resourced institutions.
"Even at a place like Wake Forest, I think the additional $2,000 would cost us half-a-million dollars a year. … At the NCAA Convention last year, there was a committee of student-athletes, and they were adamantly opposed to it because a number of the members were from smaller schools, and what they said was there's not going to be money in the budget for this, and the fear was it would come out of Olympic sports. And it wouldn't be football or basketball that would suffer.
"So that's the real debate, and it's ongoing. There are some voices, even among bigger schools, that say with Pell Grants and so forth … the $2,000 (isn't) needed, that even someone who comes from modest means has the resources to go to college.
"And I think the latest discussion is, if it would pass, it would have some kind of means testing. It might not go to everyone. ... On our campus I would say we're sort of where the NCAA is on this. We're betwixt and between. There's not universal support for this. So I'm not sure what will happen.
"The proposal is designed as a student-welfare issue. The interesting thing about the press so often is they tend to forget, they tend to look at the big sports, football and basketball, and tend to forget that when you do things you're talking about all student-athletes and you're doing it for soccer and volleyball and lacrosse and tennis and rowing, sports which never can pay for themselves. The financial reality is, football is providing 80-85 percent of the external funding for everything."
Q: Is the playoff coming to college football a positive change?
A: "I think it was positive, logical and showed a lot of common sense. There is huge interest in more of a playoff, but at the same time, by and large universities, and particularly their presidents and chancellors, do fear an extended season.
"It's complicated by the decision made five, six years ago to go to 12 (regular-season) games. If that was not in place, it might be more probable. But it's going to be very hard to pull that (12th game) back because everybody does that.
"(The playoff) builds upon the current bowls, and there's a huge tradition there. There will be a certain controversy: How will these four teams be picked (by the selection committee)? … But I think like in basketball – I know from experience, our athletic director, Ron Wellman, is on that committee. … The amount of time that goes into that committee, people wouldn't believe. I think a football committee would be similar.
"I think another thing that's coming out of it is to reassert … New Year's Day as a principle time when bowl games will happen. I think there's been a dispersion of bowl games. They extend on into January. They're midweek after most people have gone back to work."
Q: Is expansion of the playoff inevitable?
A: "I'm not sure it is at least I have never seen among CEOs of universities a move to try to make this (bigger), because if you do that, you're going to extend it into the second semester. I think one has to see how this system plays out.
"People love the bowl system. I do think there are too many bowls. … The NCAA has not wanted to get into the issue of how many bowls there are. I think there are anti-trust issues. People wouldn't like to see a diminution of the overall bowl system that gives a lot of institutions and their fans and their student-athletes an opportunity to go to a bowl.
"If a playoff system were intended as a substitute for a broad bowl system I don't think there would be a great deal of support for it."

Nurses warn against reinstatement of competitive bidding for home care services
TORONTO, Dec. 16, 2008 – Ontario residents who rely on home care will be poorly served by changes that the Ministry of Health quietly announced this week.
On December 15, Minister David Caplan said the government was lifting a moratorium on the competitive bidding of home care contracts. The moratorium was put in place a year ago by former Health Minister George Smitherman following a public outcry in Hamilton. That city's residents protested the fact that two non-profit agencies - the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) and St. Joseph's Home Care - that had served the community for more 100 years, were disqualified from the process.
"Competitive bidding is the antithesis of good patient care. It leads people to compete rather than to collaborate, pitting one health-care provider against another while leaving patients on the sidelines," says RNAO president Wendy Fucile adding that competitive bidding never yielded the economic benefits touted by the Mike Harris government when it was first introduced. "This was an invention of a previous government and we have repeatedly asked the McGuinty government to cancel competitive bidding in Ontario."
RNAO's executive director, Doris Grinspun, says tinkering with competitive bidding rules will not fix home care for the public. "Competitive bidding will continue to create uncertainty and disruption for home care clients and health-care providers alike," she says, adding that "what we really need from the minister is a substantive commitment, in dollars and cents, to improve home care."
"The upcoming Spring budget is an opportunity for Minister Caplan to show his commitment to the home-care system," Grinspun says. "Then, and only then, will the people who rely on home care be able to get the help they need - from vulnerable senior citizens who want to stay in their homes, to the families of disabled children to people who've recently been discharged from hospital," adds Grinspun.
RNAO says steps taken to improve accountability, such as public reporting and quality measures, are fine, but do nothing to address the fundamental problems with competitive bidding. A competitive system invariably undermines continuity of care and caregiver for patients and job satisfaction for health providers – factors which have a profound impact on the access and quality of care the public receives adds Fucile.
The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) is the professional association representing registered nurses wherever they practise in Ontario. Since 1925, RNAO has lobbied for healthy public policy, promoted excellence in nursing practice, increased nurses' contribution to shaping the health-care system, and influenced decisions that affect nurses and the public they serve.

The Hampshire Companies announced Thursday that it has signed three leases at the CENTRA office building in Woodbridge's MetroPark.
The Morristown-based real estate investment firm said the leases total 44,000 square feet at 186 Wood Ave. South, and include an entire 31,288-square-foot floor occupied by audit, tax and advisory firm Grant Thornton.
Stern + Associates, a public relations and marketing firm, will occupy 7,558 square feet at the class A site and Atrium Staffing of New Jersey, a staffing agency, will take 5,272 square feet, Hampshire said in a news release.
"The addition of these three tenants is a testament to CENTRA at MetroPark's premier location and superior design," said Todd Anderson, a principal of The Hampshire Companies. "The MetroPark market continues to thrive as one of New Jersey's most sought after suburban office markets."
David Simson, vice chairman and COO of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank's New Jersey operations, and Jamie Drummond, senior managing director, represented The Hampshire Companies in the deals.

The United States is today virtually the only nation on earth that maintains large contingents of its armed forces in other people's countries. After World War II and during the cold war, the United States built a chain of military bases stretching from Japan and South Korea through Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand and Australia to Diego Garcia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, England and Iceland–in effect ringing the Soviet Union and China with thousands of overseas military installations. In Japan alone, following the Korean War, there were 600 US installations and approximately 200,000 troops. There are still today, ten years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, some 800 Defense Department facilities outside the United States, ranging from radio relay stations to major air bases. To those unlucky enough to live near them (sometimes dependent on them for work or customers), these military outposts often appear less like "peacekeepers" than occupiers.
In East Asia, the United States maintains massive and expensive military forces poised to engage in everything from nuclear war to sabotage of governments that Washington finds inconvenient (for example, the government of former President Suharto in Indonesia, which in May 1998 the US government helped to bring down via troops its Special Forces had trained). At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the United States still deploys some 100,000 military personnel and close to an equal number of civilian workers and dependents in Japan and South Korea. These forces include the Third Marine Expeditionary Force in Okinawa and Japan; the Second Infantry Division in South Korea; numerous Air Force squadrons in both countries (Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa is the largest US military installation outside the United States); the Seventh Fleet, with its headquarters in Yokosuka, Japan, patrolling the China coast and anywhere else that it wants to go; and innumerable submarine pens (for example, White Beach, Okinawa), support facilities, clandestine eavesdropping and intelligence-collecting units, Special Forces and staff and headquarters installations all over the Pacific.
From approximately 1950 to 1990, the US government invoked the cold war to justify these so-called forward deployments–actually, in less euphemistic language, imperialist outposts. During the late 1940s, when it became apparent that the Chinese Communist Party was going to win the Chinese civil war, the United States reversed its policy of attempting to democratize occupied Japan and devoted itself to making Japan Washington's leading satellite in East Asia. The United States entered into an informal economic bargain with Japan: In return for Japan's willingness to tolerate the indefinite deployment of US weapons and troops on its soil, the United States would give it preferential access to the American market and would tolerate its protectionism and mercantilism. These were advantages the United States did not extend to its European allies or Latin American neighbors in the cold war.
Oddly enough, this policy is still in effect some fifty-four years after it was first implemented. In return for hosting 40,000 US troops and an equal number of dependents in ninety-one US-controlled bases, Japan still has privileged access to the US economy and still maintains protectionist barriers against US sales and investment in the Japanese market. The overall results of this policy became apparent in the 1970s and led to acute problems for the US economy in the 1980s–namely, huge excess manufacturing capacity in Japan and the hollowing out of US manufacturing industries. The costs for the United States have been astronomical. During the year 2000 alone, it recorded its largest trade deficit ever, of which $81 billion was with Japan. During the mid-1980s, Japan became the world's largest creditor nation and the United States became the world's largest debtor nation, thereby turning upside down the original assumptions on which US economic policies toward Japan were based. But neither the United States nor Japan made any changes in its old trade-for-bases deal, despite occasional and futile protests by US business interests.

Justin Bieber Parody - Baby (80s Trance Polka Version) from Andrew Huang on Vimeo. When MCPants's voice cuts in it's like instant puberty.
Once again I bow to your superior Beiber knowledge... and a duet with "fiddy" that is the most beautifully bizzare thing since my mum literally slipped on a banana skin!
I am bad at the internet, if anyone wants to link that proper be my guest.
You know I decided to give this guy another shot. So I pulled up this episode. And I have to say that this is the best episode he has ever had. I'm definitely not going to go back to watching his stuff, but out of all of the episodes I have seen this has to be my favorite.
I was thinking that too. I really like his theme song. Also he still needs to be yelling at a costar(s). Maybe a bunch of puppies.
Best episode yet!
It isn't an april fools methinks he really did have a power outage and couldn't make a video this week.
Well that was certainly an entertaining episode.
/sarcasm off.
I chuckled. As always Jim. As you certainly know: Thank god, for you.
Why... why is Jim still here? There are many regular posters here who have/do/could contribute more than this show does. I've made my opinons about Mr. Sterling known before (and been suspended for them) so im not going to go into it again lest i anger the mighty, omnipotent forum gerbels but hes cut out the middle man here and actually stopped pretending he has something to contribute.
I emplore you Escapist. Get rid of this show, it is unfathomably bad.
Well this one wasn't as hard to watch as the others... although still predictable and totally not funny.
Well that didn't make me laugh at all, and it had nothing at all to contribute to the gaming community's knowledge base.
Which means that the only thing different about this Jimquisition was it's episode length.
They're getting shorter! Keep it up Jim!
Wait, what just happened? Let's see a full episode about E3, I wouldn't mind some ranting from Jim on that topic.
I lol'd
You appear to have failed at that =/
OT: first episode where you've not utterly iritated me, keep this quality up!
Haha kudos! I was hoping Yahtzee was going to follow through on a video like this but he didn't quite make it
That was the best episode ever.
Seriously, love it Jim, keep up the good work!
I saw this coming when I read your tweet about the power outage :D
Great to see that Jim is still kicking around. Hopefully next week there'll be a full episode. You know, after Jim saves Lisa Foiles from Wart the malevolent frog king and his army of Shy Guys.
Best episode yet!
Huh. OK... Why even put this up?
Still, taking it seriously for a moment, what is this video showing exactly?
Did he have a power cut while trying to film it?
Given that the camera didn't cut out, that seems odd at first, but then I'm reminded that nearly all consumer video cameras (and quite a few professional ones) are battery operated.
So... Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I can only assume there was a power cut that lasted long enough for him to miss his video deadline.
Except... He still found the time to edit that clip together. Eh. Whatever.
best video so far
Did you really have a power outage, or was this just because you had nothing to talk about.
I do enjoy your episodes, but this is just plain annoying.
Coincidentally this was pretty close to my "Cool. Whatever." reaction to most of the news out of E3. Except for Kirby Wii, which made me very, very happy.
I was bracing for another craptastic episode of the Jimquisition, but found myself pleasantly surprised.
You gotta love escapist magazine mods. They randomly suspend people for writing short comments while completely ignoring even shorter comments.
Well I found it pretty funny. And sums up E3 quite nicely.
Really scary that some of you didn't get why he asked that. ' -'
Because of this:
That review was great stuff.
Why... why are you here? Why did you click the link to this page of you don't like Jim's content? Seriously, I would like to know: Did you actually watch this video despite knowing you wouldn't like it, or did you just see that he updated and go right for the comments link to remind us all that you hate this show?
Haters and fans, its always fun to watch the two fight.
Either way. I like him, hes enjoyable, and very....up front. Like Yahtzee! Just not as funny.
You sir, made me laugh, because I know its true, it seems more people who hate him post,
Lucky for him, a lot of us find him entertaining. He makes good points, even if his humor can be a bit dry. Overall a good show.
Well that was just about terrible, glad some people like it but I'm done giving this guy a chance.
He had the glasses. He had the one liner. Now where's the "Yeah!" screaming?
Thank God for Jim! Sorry you were cut off, but I appreciate that you made a joke episode instead of apologizing. Coming from you, that would just be weird.
Then you've obviously never had sex...
Wait, what?
OT: He could have said something. Anything. Even coughed.

If you need to make an impression for your
Christmas party, a one button suit may be the way to go. They're sharp enough
to make you look like you've made an effort, but are still casual enough to
wear with a pair of trainers. This Ute Ploier suit is a
perfect example of what you should be looking for. The standout piece of this
outfit would be the trainers and it's here where you need to get things right.
Whilst Chuck Taylors can look good with a suit,
they can also make you look like you dragged any old pair of trainers from the
back of your wardrobe. Nanny State's patent
leather trainers go well with suits and smart attire in general, whilst
still looking like trainers.

The EC90 SL Stem is one of the lightest on the market, but that's a pleasant by-product of Easton's design principles. They set out to produce a stem that can handle the rigors of CX and XC racing. And, even after focusing on strength, this sculpted carbon stem just happens to be light enough for today's ultra-light road bikes.
This makes the EC90 SL a perfect choice for broken pavement, gravel roads, and cobblestone-strewn race courses. Easton uses the same TaperWall carbon construction as its highly respected handlebars. This is not just more material in some areas for strength and less in other zones for weight reduction. It promises a void-free, perfectly clean carbon laminate throughout -- which is the only way to avoid fracturing caused by faulty carbon construction.
Along with TaperWall, Easton adds Top Lock, which immobilizes the face plate against the surface of the stem once the top two titanium faceplate bolts are threaded and torqued properly. It's designed this way so that the stem cannot place uneven pressure on the handlebar. To finish the installation procedure, simply torque the bottom two bolts to spec.
An even distribution of loads to the handlebar is one advantage of Top Lock, another is the faceplate cannot flex around or vibrate when you ride over rough roads. A faceplate that doesn't vibrate cannot wear against the handlebars -- which greatly reduces the chance of weakening your favorite carbon bars.
The Easton EC90 SL Stem is made of Easton Carbon and uses titanium hardware for the faceplate and steerer clamp. It's available in lengths from 80-130mm in 10mm increments. It's sized for 1-1/8" steerer tubes and has an oversized 31.8mm bar clamp diameter and 0° rise. It comes in a Matte Carbon finish.
- Easton's lightest stem available built to endure XC and CX racing
- Carbon fiber is insanely strong and only tips scale at 115 grams
- TaperWall tech delivers strong, clean, and void-free laminate
- DST and Top-Lock faceplate maximize the handlebar-to-stem interface
- Item #EAS0316

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fabulous stem - light enough, meticulously manufactured, stiff, and beautiful. I get compliments on it all the time. The TopLock concept takes some time to wrap your head around (top of the faceplate is flush, bottom leaves a small gap) but so far no issues. Ti hardware is a nice touch, so is the "friction paste" type coating at the bar interface. Sure, there are lighter AL stems out there, but none as stunning as this one.
Not as Described
This does NOT have a 10 degree rise. It is zero.
i had this stem and YES , its a 0 Degree. not 10 degree.. i am going to have it return asap.
Easton makes both a 0 degree and a 10 degree in this item. I have a 10 degree.
You must specify 10 degree. The stems are available in 0 degree and +/- 10 degree angles.

While not completely new to linux, I'm still limited in my knowledge. I've googled and tried a few solutions (details below) but have hit a stumbling block.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-----Some details...-----
Build: 767
Sugar: 0.82.1
Firmware: Q2E18
Modem: UTStarcom UM 150 USB Wireless
[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 921600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = #777
Username = ??????????@alltel.net
Password = alltel
Init1 = ATZ
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP
(Settings are from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3014379&postcount=25 and have worked for me with this modem in the past on an Ubuntu computer.)
-----Here's what I've tried...-----
1) First, I used nano to write the settings above to /etc/wvdial.conf.
I attempted to launch wvdial, but received this error...
- Code: Select all
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: Device or resource busy
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: Device or resource busy
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: Device or resource busy
I then launched wvdial as root and it appeared to be successful, but I couldn't browse to any websites.
2) Since that wasn't working, I then deleted the settings from /etc/wvdial.conf (the file is still there, it's just blank) and followed suggestions at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_with_USB_Cellular_Modem">XO%20with%20USB%20Cellular%20Modem.
I wrote the settings in a text document (named alltelconfig.txt) and copied it to /home/olpc.
I attempted to launch wvdial with wvdial --config alltelconfig.txt but received the same error as above.
The same command when executed as root produced this...
- Code: Select all
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Wed May 12 20:44:07 2010
--> Pid of pppd: 1985
--> Using interface ppp0
--> pppd: H[1f]"[08]\ufffd "[08]
--> pppd: H[1f]"[08]\ufffd "[08]
--> local IP address 22.214.171.124
--> pppd: H[1f]"[08]\ufffd "[08]
--> remote IP address 18.104.22.168
--> pppd: H[1f]"[08]\ufffd "[08]
--> primary DNS address 126.96.36.199
--> pppd: H[1f]"[08]\ufffd "[08]
--> secondary DNS address 184.108.40.206
--> pppd: H[1f]"[08]\ufffd "[08]
...but still I couldn't get any pages to load in "Browse."
3) I went into "Control Panel > Network" and clicked "Remove Network Configuration" and restarted the XO. I still could only get the modem to connect as root and still could not get to any pages.
4) I tried turning off the "Radio" in "Control Panel." Not sure if I did this correctly, as the XO kept searching for a mesh network, but failed to connect to them. I ran wvdial (same command as above) and on this occasion was able to successfully browse the web!!! I don't know how this fluke happened because...
5) Thinking it might have been an issue with being connected to the mesh network (cause I'm correct in understanding you can't connect to the internet and the mesh at the same time, yes?) I turned the XO off and attempted to repeat the process. This time I turned off the radio in the "Power" section. When I ran wvdial --config alltelconfig.txt as root I received a variety of error messages (including one about the text file not existing -- I checked, it's still there -- and error about input/output) before it finally showed a connection. However, once I went to "Browse" I started only getting page errors again. I unclicked all Power management options (turning the radio back on), restarted the XO, and turned the radio off in the Network section again. Terminal showed a connection but no pages would load.
6) After reading that this might be a DNS issue, I viewed file://localehost/etc/resolve.conf in "Browse" and found that no numbers were appearing in the file... Not sure if this is a sign of incorrect settings...
So, in conclusion, I have no idea what the issue is -- especially since it worked one out of the six+ attempts! I don't know if this is some conflict with the XO searching for the mesh vs. the modem, an issue with my settings, or a problem since I've only been able to connect when working as root. Or if the issue is none of the above...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Slow, tech piece, based on plenty electro sounds and bells. It's both atmospheric and yet intriguing. It could be a suitable soundtrack for a video of someone designing or building something. Because of this I really recommend it for tutorials and 'how-to' videos. The dreamy mood makes the track also quite suitable for space or science shows and documentaries. It might add the perfect background to stuff related to doctors and medical research.
2. Underwater Miracles 2:39
A slow ambient piece, with a haunting bells melody and deep pads, creating an underwater feel. This is suitable for documentary projects related to ocean fauna or other wonderful things found in the never-ending world of the seas. Could also work for yoga or other things/activities which require a meditative philosophical piece.
3. Patient Zero 2:47
This is an ambient-tech electro track, with deep bass sequences and eerie synth melodies, a perfect background for numerous science-oriented projects. This could work very well for a video illustration of the way a virus gets transmitted, an invisible danger, forever multiplying and mutating, spreading all over the globe at unstoppable rates, be it by a simple touch or via a fomite. It would also be useful for videos and projects related to scientific discoveries and research, the mood here being one of progression and development, but on a serious, solemn level, with hardly any hope.
4. Lab Work 2:03
This is a more upbeat track, suitable for dynamic research scenes, where scientists know exactly what to do and they are excited about the possible outcome. It's also suitable for videos about factories, showing how something gets made, with absolute precision, by futuristic machines and devices.

The price increase will be based on raw material components used in the production of the Lucidene, HydriPrint and Morcryl products. Increasing cost of key raw materials, specifically styrene and monomers, make this price increase necessary.

For some reason that I still can't really explain my blog has been out of action for the last couple of months. I've tried to fix it but didn't really have time to get into it properly when my small attempts didn't work. In that time I've updated my Social Media for Family Historians book and written a new one called Land research for family historians in Australia and New Zealand.
I've just had another go, and when what I tried to do didn't work I put it back the way it was and started installing another one, with the intention of loading it up with a backup. For some reason I can't explain doing those things has caused it to work.
It's a mystery to me, but it's good to be back!
