Governors State University: Censorship of Student Newspaper
September 19, 2005
A college administrator at Governors State University in Illinois censored a student newspaper that was highly critical of her administration. The Seventh Circuit chose to apply Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, a Supreme Court decision allowing prior review of certain high school newspapers, to student fee-funded college media. This directly contradicted two other Supreme Court decisions by holding that a student paper or group could potentially be controlled by the university merely because for receiving funding from mandatory student fees that are considered to belong to the student body, not the university. FIRE was disappointed that the Supreme Court refused to hear […]» Read More

For free student press, move off campus
March 18, 2006
By Jeffrey McCall at The Indianapolis Star The U.S. Supreme Court has sent a message to college student journalists: If you want full press rights, then disassociate yourselves from any financial or logistical connection to the university where you operate. In late February, the Supreme Court gave a setback to the college press. Last summer, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago issued a ruling that expanded college administration power over student newspapers. The Supreme Court refused to hear that case on appeal. The 7th Circuit's Hosty ruling evolved from a decision by the administration of Governors State University […]» Read More
Supreme Court neglects the right to free student press
March 8, 2006
Royal Purple Staff Opinion The United States Supreme Court made a decision Feb. 24 that opened the door for the restriction of speech of college students nationwide. In 1988, Hazelwood vs. Ferguson secured the right of educational institutions up to and through a high school level to censor student run publications based on content. This decision was extended through the university level in June 2005 by the 7th Court of Appeals in Chicago. The district covers Wisconsin and Indiana as well, potentially subjecting a number of University of Wisconsin System publications to the same censorship. In refusing recently to hear […]» Read More
Ruling could test MSC free press
March 6, 2006
The Daily Sentinel A recent move by the U.S. Supreme Court could dampen press freedoms at colleges across the country, especially for newspapers, such as The Criterion at Mesa State College, that receive college funding. Late last month the Supreme Court decided not to consider a case involving the administration of an Illinois public university that demanded to review the student newspaper before its publication. The appeals court decision, which affirmed the college's right of prior review, significantly expanded a landmark 1988 case, where the Supreme Court distinguished between the First Amendment rights of elementary and high school students and […]» Read More
Student editors react to 'Hosty' decision
February 28, 2006
By Ricky Ribeiro at Student Press Law Center Student editors at three student newspapers said college journalists need to start discussing the effects of Hosty v. Carter now that the Supreme Court has decided not to hear the case. "[Hosty]'s come up from time to time [in our newsroom]," said Aaron Seidlitz, editor in chief of Eastern Illinois University's student newspaper, the Daily Eastern News. "Most of the time it's with the staff and a few professors as well. I think that every collegiate newspaper should just have conversations with their advisers just to have a better understanding of the […]» Read More
Court flawed in student paper ruling
October 27, 2005
Sometimes even federal judges make mistakes. Last week the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education filed an amicus brief in Hosty v. Carter, the recent 7th Circuit Court ruling that allows colleges to censor student newspapers that receive a substantial amount of funding from that college. FIRE's brief joins two others in support of Margaret Hosty, Jeni Porche and Steven Barba — the three students suing Dean Patricia Carter, alleging a violation of the First Amendment. The story begins late in 2000, when the Innovator, the student newspaper for Governors State University, published a number of articles critical of the […]» Read More
In-depth: Words Left Unsaid
October 27, 2005
By Sundeep Malladi at The Badger Herald Dedicated to the pursuit of truth, universities create forums for discussion. According to many, this basic foundation shook on June 20, 2005, when the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals gave universities the right to censor student newspapers. The Hosty v. Carter ruling has come under fire in recent months from several First Amendment rights groups and media watchdogs that found the ruling both shocking and appalling. This week, a coalition of several major groups headed by the Virginia-based Student Press Law Center (SPLC), delivered their friend-of-the-court, or amicus, brief to the Supreme […]» Read More
Three briefs urge Supreme Court to hear 'Hosty v. Carter' case
October 20, 2005
By Kim Peterson at Student Press Law Center WASHINGTON D.C. — More than 30 groups are represented in three briefs filed this week urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal in the Hosty v. Carter case. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education filed a brief yesterday joined by 10 other free expression advocacy groups, including several that have defended the rights of campus conservatives. Journalism education groups and some of the nation's top journalism schools filed their own brief today. The Student Press Law Center, joined by 14 student and professional news media organizations, filed a brief […]» Read More
Assault on College Press
October 17, 2005
By Harvey Silverglate at The National Law Journal Independent college journalism may soon be a relic of the past—on a par with typewriters and eight-track cassette players—in at least three states, and potentially throughout the country. This past summer, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which presides over Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, applied to colleges and universities the censorship rules designated years ago by the Supreme Court to govern elementary and high school journalism. The implications are far-reaching and severe: Public university administrators, seemingly more sensitive than ever to criticism, as well as to dissent against prevailing opinion, no […]» Read More
College newspapers fight for rights
September 22, 2005
By Erin France at The Daily Tar Heel The U.S. Supreme Court received a petition Tuesday to review a case from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that could affect free press policies on college campuses nationwide. The 7th circuit overturned a lower court decision this summer that ruled in favor of Margaret Hosty, who sued Patricia Carter, then dean of student affairs and services at Governors State University in Illinois, for censoring the school newspaper. The move was criticized by several First Amendment watch groups. Mark Goodman, executive director of the Student Press Law Center, said the case […]» Read More
Supreme Court asked to take up college-press case
September 20, 2005
First Amendment Center The U.S. Supreme Court could define and clarify how much First Amendment protection college and university newspapers possess — if it accepts review in the highly watched case Hosty v. Carter. In June 2005, the full panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Patricia Carter, a dean at Governor's State University in Illinois, was entitled to qualified immunity from a lawsuit filed by three former student journalists for The Innovator, a student newspaper. That decision conflicted with decisions by a federal district court and a three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit. The three […]» Read More
Wronging student rights
September 3, 2005
By Greg Lukianoff in The Boston Globe As summer ends and college students return to campus, a number of dreadful court decisions may cause them to wonder if their rights have taken a permanent vacation. While the past decades have hardly been a golden age for student rights, there was good reason to be optimistic in recent years. Speech codes fell at colleges from New York to California, the Department of Education finally clarified that "harassment" does not mean just being offended, and Texas Tech University had to admit that its lone 20-foot-wide "free speech gazebo" was inadequate space for […]» Read More
Free Speech Groups Worry 'Hosty' Ruling Will Scale Back Students' First Amendment Rights
June 23, 2005
By Sean Hill at Student Press Law Center Media and free speech groups warn that a decision this week by a federal appeals court could have damaging consequences for free speech on college and university campuses. "It is a sad day for journalism in the United States," Society of Professional Journalists President Irwin Gratz said in a statement in response to Monday's decision in Hosty v. Carter. "In the states covered by this ruling, students will now spend eight years with prior review and censorship as part of their journalistic experience." The Society was among a group of 25 free […]» Read More
Free Press 101
December 1, 2003
By Erich Wasserman at Arbiter Online The recent seizure of an entire press run of the student newspaper, the Hampton Script, by Hampton University administrators is the latest in a sad history of censorship, and now even theft, of student publications by administrators on college and university campuses across the country. At Hampton, acting President JoAnn Haysbert ordered an entire press run confiscated. What had the students done to provoke such a reprisal? Had they published hard-core pornography or incited riots by printing demonstrable falsehoods? No, they had merely done their job by reporting on hundreds of health code violations […]» Read More
Illinois State Legislature Passes Student Press Bill
June 8, 2007
The Chicago Tribune reported (registration required) yesterday that the Illinois State Legislature has passed the College Campus Press Act, a bill that the Tribune reported "would allow college student journalists to write articles without fear that college officials could censor or bar publication of their work." State Senator Susan Garrett, sponsor of the bill, said, "It just made sense to me that college journalists should have the same types of opportunities to present their materiadivl as journalists in the professional media…They shouldn't be subjected to prior review by public university administrations, because that really stifles free speech." The bill, which […]» Read More
Journalism Association Condemns Press Freedom Violations
August 16, 2006
Yesterday, the Student Press Law Center (SPLC) reported the August 4 decision by the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) to censure a community college in New Jersey for violating freedom of the press. Ocean Community College (OCC) has already been censured by the College Media Advisers, Inc. (CMA), a national organization that advocates for best practices among college media outlets. According to the SPLC, the AEJMC passed the resolution of censure following the OCC Board of Trustees' December decision not to renew student newspaper advisor Karen Bosley's contract. Bosley's "offense" was allowing the newspaper to print […]» Read More
Student Press in Jeopardy with 'Hosty'
March 3, 2006
As we reported last week, FIRE is disappointed that the Supreme Court has decided not to hear Hosty v. Carter, thereby upholding the Seventh Circuit's 2005 decision to allow public university administrators to censor student newspapers. The Student Press Law Center (SPLC) issued a press release this week airing student editors' reactions. This decision has gained new importance in light of the recent debate surrounding the publishing of the Danish Mohammed cartoons. The Seventh Circuit encompasses Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois, and in Illinois alone, two controversies have arisen regarding the public display of the cartoons. At the University of Chicago, […]» Read More
FIRE Disappointed with Supreme Court's Refusal to Take 'Hosty v. Carter'
February 24, 2006
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is deeply disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear an appeal of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit's opinion in Hosty v. Carter, leaving student newspapers at public universities in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin vulnerable to administrative censorship. "Hosty v. Carter is simply the most harmful Court of Appeals decision regarding student freedom of speech in higher education to come down in a generation," stated FIRE Interim President Greg Lukianoff. "The Supreme Court passed up an important opportunity to vindicate student rights and restore clarity […]» Read More
'Inside Higher Ed' on 'Hosty v. Carter'
February 22, 2006
As Torch readers know, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear the appeal in Hosty v. Carter, a crucially important student free speech case. Inside Higher Education has published a great article by David Epstein on the Court's decision: In [Hosty], the court found that Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, which held that a high school principal had the right to regulate a school paper, applies to publications that colleges put money toward, too. The Seventh Circuit decision called the Innovator, which was paid for with student activities fees, "a subsidized" newspaper, and said that since the university […]» Read More

FIRE is gravely disappointed that the Supreme Court has decided not to grant cert in the case of Hosty v. Carter. As the Student Press Law Center (SPLC) reports: February 21, 2006 WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. Supreme Court announced this morning that it will not hear a case that questioned the authority of administrators at an Illinois university to censor a student newspaper that published articles critical of the school. The Court rejected a request by former student journalists at Governors State University in Illinois to review a lower court decision that could give university officials in three Midwestern states the authority […]» Read More
Down to the Wire in 'Hosty v. Carter'
February 1, 2006
The Supreme Court is set to decide, in conference on February 17, whether it will take up the case of Hosty v. Carter, the infamous case that extends Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier to colleges and universities and could allow administrators to censor student newspapers. The Court has already shown interest in the case by asking the Illinois attorney general to file a brief in response to the petition for writ of certiorari. The Illinois attorney general did so on December 28 and Hosty's attorneys filed an excellent response to that brief on January 18. FIRE has already joined the […]» Read More

More Bad News for Student Press Freedom
September 27, 2005
Evidence has begun to roll in showing that the freedom of the student press is under assault as never before. It's certainly bad enough that our own federal court system is attacking the free campus press through the Seventh Circuit's en banc decision in Hosty v. Carter (now being appealed to the Supreme Court)—but hold on, it gets worse. In just the last few days, FIRE has become aware of not one, not two, but three different assaults on campus press freedom that have taken place since the beginning of the school year—and it's only the end of September.

As our press release today attests, FIRE, along with the Student Press Law Center, is leading the charge against a recent and very misguided court decision called Hosty v. Carter. FIRE has been involved in this case for quite some time, which initially received a very favorable ruling from the Seventh Circuit. Unfortunately, the Seventh Circuit reversed itself en banc earlier this summer in a ruling that should gravely concern all those who care about student rights. The plaintiffs' attorney filed a certiorari petition Friday—asking the Supreme Court to take the case—and FIRE is now assembling a coalition of like-minded […]» Read More

FIRE Policy Statement on 'Hosty v. Carter'
September 19, 2005
SUMMARY OF FIRE'S POSITION The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit's en banc opinion in Hosty v. Carter, No. 01-4155 (7th Cir. June 20, 2005), is a poorly conceived opinion that, if upheld, will do serious harm to freedom of speech on campus far beyond the realm of student media. The Court ruled that a dean of students who exercised prior restraint over a student newspaper—unequivocally because of its viewpoint—is entitled to immunity from liability. It also decided that the logic of Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier—an opinion that has been used to drastically curtail the rights of high school […]» Read More
FIRE Starts Off the School Year with a Bang

People often mention the "dog days of August." Supposedly it's a long, hot month during which most people are on vacation and nothing really happens, especially in the media. But it seems Greg Lukianoff, FIRE's director of legal and public advocacy, didn't get that memo. Dog days or not, Greg managed to author three important op-eds that are now being published—in Inside Higher Ed, the Boston Globe, and the Chronicle of Higher Education—just as many students are heading back to their campuses and, unfortunately, having their rights violated.

When rookie third baseman Manny Machado was charging Evan Longoria's slow grounder in the ninth inning of the Orioles' 3-2 win Wednesday, the 20-year-old said that intincts took over.
By now you surely know what happened. By Thursday morning, fans in Baltimore could be "Manny-ing," posing for photos of themselves making fake throws to first base.
Machado faked a throw to first and quickly turned to third, where pinch-runner and potential go-ahead run Rich Thompson has made the turn around third. Shortstop J.J. Hardy was there covering third base, and Machado threw there to catch Thompson in an inning-ending rundown.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Clark Hunt is regarded as an intensely private man, someone who prefers to operate behind the scenes and away from the spotlight that comes with owning an NFL franchise.
In some ways, that's about to change.
Hunt fired coach Romeo Crennel on Monday as part of a shakeup of the entire structure of a franchise that his father, the late Lamar Hunt, founded 53 years ago. The younger Hunt said he plans to hire the next coach and that the individual will report to him, rather than through the general manager - a change in the way the team has operated since its inception.
In fact, Hunt has refused to say whether GM Scott Pioli will be retained.

A new study from Accenture and top benchmarking firm McLagan crunches the numbers on blockchain to reveal just how much investment banks should be banking on this potentially disruptive technology. Accenture's David Treat shares the highlights and looks at how banks can get started.
What's the big takeaway from Accenture's latest blockchain study with McLagan?
I don't think anyone questions whether or not blockchain has significant potential. But in order to move beyond potential to practical application, enterprises, which in this case are investment banks, need to have a road map to help illustrate where blockchain can have the biggest impact. This, in turn, can help them to make strategic blockchain investments that help unlock trapped value in the short-term and over the longer-term.
Our study found that blockchain technology could help the eight banks we analyzed realize savings of at least $8 billion per year, or approximately 27 percent on a cost base of $30 billion—and that's a conservative estimate. Annual cost savings could reach as high as 38 percent, or around $12 billion.

A campaigning patient is calling for more staff at a doctor's surgery.
Michael Topley claims he has not been able to see his GP at Blue Dykes Surgery in Eldon Street, Clay Cross, for the past year.
Mr Topley, of Pencroft Drive, Danesmoor, also says there are severe problems booking appointments at the surgery.
The 30-year-old, who has set up a petition to raise awareness about the issue, said: "I've told them I want to see my personal doctor – not a locum – because he knows about my medical history and I feel comfortable with him. I quite often ring them at 7.55am and am on the phone until 9am but still can't get an appointment.
"It's just not good enough – we're talking about people's health here.
"There should be more staff at the surgery."
A spokesman for NHS England said they were "concerned" to hear about Mr Topley's comments.
The spokesman added: "In the first instance Mr Topley is encouraged to contact NHS England on 0300 311 2233 to register his concerns.
"Then we can follow up these concerns to ensure steps are taken to improve access for patients to GP services in the area."
More than 30 people have signed Mr Topley's petition.

100 Kilos Of Gold Art Show Cancelled
100 kilos of gold bricks will not be arriving at the Gagosian Gallery in Santa Monica, California this weekend. The bricks were to have been the centerpiece of a show called One Ton One Kilo by artist Chris Burden. The gold was bought from Stanford Coins and Bullion, part of the Stanford Financial group. You know, Stanford, the mini-Madoff guy accused of bilking investors in an $8-billion ponzi scheme. Now the transfer is frozen while the SEC investigates Stanford. It appears that large-scale conceptual sculpture is but the latest unexpected casualty of the economic crisis.

Alaska Acting Attorney General Rick Svobodny released the results
of a gasoline pricing investigation that has been underway since
August of 2008. The report concludes that the higher prices
Alaskans pay for gasoline is the result of unique market conditions
in Alaska, which include few participants, small volumes, and
limited threats of competition from outside sources.
The higher than normal gasoline prices experienced during the
later half of 2008, when prices around the country dropped everywhere
except Alaska, were largely the result of these market conditions
coupled with unprecedented volatility in the crude oil prices.
Oil rose to record high levels of $144 a barrel in July, 2008,
and then dropped by over $100 a barrel to under $38 in just six
The Department of Law reviewed information from retailers, distributors
and refiners and found no evidence that gasoline prices were
the result of illegal activity, such as price fixing or collusion.
Alaska does not regulate gasoline pricing, and there is no price
gouging law that limits the amount of profit a business can make.
Like any other consumer good, the price for gasoline is set
by supply and demand conditions in the marketplace.
In larger market areas like Seattle, where there is more competition
for gasoline sales at the wholesale level, gasoline prices typically
fall more quickly than in more concentrated markets. Following
an unprecedented drop in crude oil prices, it was not surprising
that Alaska's prices lagged behind prices in other areas of the
Pacific Northwest. Over the last couple of months, the spread
between Anchorage and Seattle prices has narrowed significantly.
Prices in Juneau last week were below average street prices
in Seattle.
Information available for Anchorage and Fairbanks indicates that
retailers are not the cause of higher prices. Retail margins
have stayed at or below margins typical of stations in the Lower
48. The attorney general's recommendation includes continued
monitoring of gasoline prices.
The last investigation of gasoline pricing was completed in 2002
and spanned three years. The result of that investigation also
found no evidence of illegal activity.
The state retained the services of Econ One, a Los Angeles-based
economic consulting firm, to assist in the investigation and
the preparation of the report.

4th of October, 2010 at 12.25pm in Ajka, Veszprém county, Hungary: around a million cubic meters of toxic waste were released after the rupture of the retaining wall in one of the reservoirs used for the accumulation of MAL aluminum company trash. The spill reached two meters high and started a destructive race trying to release its energy, flooding the nearby Devecser and Kolontár villages. Ten human casualties were counted and material damages were impossible to measure, including the destruction or irreparable deterioration of numerous houses, the disappearance of infrastructures and the poisoning of dozens of fields. The accident was at first sight considered the biggest catastrophe of Hungarian history.
These photos have been taken six months after the accident when silence takes place of the headlines, and just The Line is left.

The entire community of Chesterfield is being urged to paint the town blue to back their football team on the road to Wembley.
Thousands of fans will be travelling down to the national stadium to back Chesterfield in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy against Peterborough on Sunday, March 31.
In the build-up to the game, residents, businesses, workplaces and schools in Chesterfield are being encouraged to unite in backing Paul Cook's team by decking out the town in team colours.
Sponsors Johnstone's Paint have been bringing colour to the beautiful game since 2006, and are now asking fans to 'Paint Chesterfield Blue' on Thursday March 20.
People can display their 'Paint the Town Blue' efforts on Johnstone's Paint Trophy social media channels, @JohnstonesPaint, on Twitter using #paintthetownblue or the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Facebook page, or create a board on Pinterest and follow Johnstone's Trade.
The most impressive efforts will receive a special visit from the Johnstone's Paint team and the trophy itself.
Ben Wilde, brand and sponsorship manager for Johnstone's Paint, said: "We are asking everyone to take on the spirit of the competition and adorn the town using anything blue they can find – no decoration is too little or too much!
"It would be great to see shops and businesses backing the team by putting on blue displays in their windows and offices and schools taking part in non-uniform days to allow children to dress in blue.
"This is a real chance for the whole community to get behind the football club at a very exciting time."
Johnstone's Paint has suggested the following examples as fantastic ways for fans to get involved:
• Decorate the outside of your home or business with blue balloons, decorations or flags
• Dress your shop window in team colours
• Blue themed charity non-uniform day at work or school
• Bake blue cupcakes with blue decorations / the team crest
• Fly a blue flag on your car.

Steven Gerrard has said Liverpool's younger players took their "foot off the gas" against Notts County but accepts the entire team is responsible for the groin injury that threatens to sideline Kolo Touré for a lengthy period.
Touré has made an impressive start to his Anfield career but is expected to miss Sunday's visit of Manchester United after pulling up during extra time in Liverpool's 4-2 defeat of the League One side. Joe Allen and Aly Cissokho are also unlikely to feature after a costly victory for Brendan Rodgers.
The Liverpool manager wants to bring Mamadou Sakho to Anfield from Paris Saint-Germain before the transfer deadline but the French club are reluctant to sell the 23-year-old defender. In the absence of any in-comings, out-of-favour Martin Skrtel is likely to partner Daniel Agger against the Premier League champions.
Touré tore a groin muscle at the 2008 African Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast and Gerrard admits his team-mates must shoulder blame having failed to hold a comfortable 2-0 lead against Chris Kiwomya's side on Tuesday. "There's no doubt playing extra time was a blow for us," the Liverpool captain said. "We ended up having to play 120 minutes and a lot of the players who are probably going to be starting on Sunday have played too much football. The plan was to get the game won and done and dusted and try and rest a few for Sunday.
"The only good thing is that because we are at the start of the season, everybody is fit and should be fresh so I'm hopeful it shouldn't be too much of a problem. But Kolo's injury came in extra time. He wouldn't have done that during normal time. We have ourselves to blame for his injury. We have to take responsibility for that. Sunday is a massive game. Kolo has started the season very strongly and we will be very disappointed if he is not fit for the weekend. But it's not looking good. He left the ground on crutches."
Daniel Sturridge admitted Liverpool were guilty of complacency in the second half against Notts County and Gerrard believes that stemmed from the number of young players in an otherwise strong Rodgers' team.
"The game got too easy," said Gerrard. "When you have a lot of inexperience in your team, you can sometimes take your foot off your gas and get punished and that's exactly what happened. We were in complete control and it looked like we were going to win by three, four or five. But when you have a lot of youngsters in your team who maybe don't know how to see a game out, sometimes you can make it very difficult for yourself and that's what we did."
Liverpool struggled to turn encouraging displays into wins against the six teams that finished above them in the table last season, beating only Tottenham.
Gerrard believes the additions to the Liverpool squad this summer, plus Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement at Old Trafford, can assist in closing the gap on United.
"That's something we have been trying to do for a long time, not just with changes in the summer," the midfielder said. "For a long time, the gap between ourselves and [Manchester] United, Chelsea and now Manchester City has been too big. Each year we have been trying to close that gap, so really this season isn't any different in that respect but it does feel slightly different this year.
"The team spirit is really good and there is a belief within the squad. The changes the manager has made during the summer are really positive and hopefully there are still one or two more players to come in.
"We didn't get what we deserved from the big games last year. To try to improve on that this season, we have to put in the same effort but learn to start turning draws into maximum points. For me, United and Everton are still the biggest two games of the season."

A Review of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011
2167 Rayburn House Office Building
This is a hearing of the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.
Summary of Subject Matter
Official Hearing Transcript
Witness List:
Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials
Hearing on "A Review of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011"
Opening Statement
(Remarks as Prepared)
Our hearing today will focus on the implementation of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011. This act is administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and it expires at the end of 2015.
The United States has the largest network of energy pipelines – 2.5 million miles – of any nation in the world, and pipelines are energy lifelines that power nearly all of our daily activities. Pipelines are the safest and most cost-effective means to transport the extraordinary volumes of natural gas and hazardous liquid products that fuel our economy. Since 1986, the volume of energy products transported through pipelines has increased by one-third, yet the number of reportable incidents has decreased by 28 percent.
Pipeline safety is carried out in a partnership between PHMSA, state regulators, and the private sector. Both government and industry have taken numerous steps to improve pipelines safety over the last 10 years.
While the data shows that federal pipeline safety programs have been on the right track, Congress enacted the 2011 pipeline safety bill to strengthen our efforts, as stakeholders understood there was room for improvement. The law included 42 congressional mandates of PHMSA, of which 21 are complete, 13 are on schedule and in progress, and eight have been extended beyond their deadline. As of April 23, 2014, PHMSA had issued 10 advisory bulletins, completed five reports, updated two parts of the Code of Federal Regulations, and issued one final rule. We look forward to hearing from our witnesses today on those mandates and PHMSA's progress at implementing the 2011 law.
We believe in a risk-based, data-driven approach to pipeline safety that focuses private investment in pipeline safety on those areas of higher risk. As PHMSA develops rules to implement the mandates contained in the 2011 act, it is critically important that we must provide regulatory certainly necessary for pipeline owners and operators to plan infrastructure investments, and do so with input from the safety community and industry. Doing so means maintaining a risk-based approach that applies cost-benefit principles to the development of rules and regulations. It also means doing the due diligence to ensure rules do not go beyond congressional intent, thereby creating uncertainty for the regulated community, which ultimately does not enhance safety.
We will hear today that industry is also being proactive in its own safety initiatives to ensure best practices exist for things like inspections, detecting leaks, and safety training. We will indeed hear from folks on both the hazardous liquids and natural gas sides of the community that developing a culture of safety is important to these industries and the communities at-large. I am looking forward to hearing about these initiatives.

My friend Mike, of the vegan pig cake achievement and so much more, is gloriously and mischeviously trying to unite Portland vegans on Sunday, May 23rd. If you're in the Portland area, stop by!
Here are the details from the facebook event (hint: RSVP there for updates):
Hey Portland Vegan!
Ever wonder if there are other super cool vegans and vegan potlucks in PDX that you don't know about? Even if you adore your current vegan friends, ever wonder if you're missing out on The Others? Or maybe you're crying to yourself over your BBQ Platter at B&B or wiping sadness away with orange fingers from the fake Cheetos that you got at Food Fight! since you don't know any other PDX vegans. In any event, its time for all that to change.
Portland has so many little vegan sub-cultures (quadrant-specific vegans, PPK vegans, Meetup vegans, NW Veg'ers, suburb vegans, space patrol vegans, blogging vegans, tattoo vegans, biking vegans, foodshops/food cart vegans, straightedge vegans). Its hard to keep up, let alone branch out and meet new peeps. But that's all over now. Like Ronald Reagan told Mikhail Gorbachev back in '87, its time to "tear down this wall."
The VEGAN CONVERGENCE is upon us.
Show up, eat some food, talk to some folks. It's simple. You might even meet your new vegan best friend! Worst case scenario, you leave with a full belly of vegan goodies. No time for drama. No time for cliques. Just bring a "Favorite" (is that the theme?) vegan dish (along with cutlery, plates, tongs etc.) and get ready for the best afternoon of your life. Like staring into the sun, this could be epic.
(Vegan-friendly friends invited, too!)
I'll be stopping by after a project in the morning, though I don't know how attentive I'll be with the life-changing series finale of LOST that evening. I foresee myself getting nervous when I'm not in line at the Bagdad by 5pm!
P.S. Who are the foodshop vegans? The ones that go to cute restaurants? I thought I had all my groups down!

Yahoo's quest to reclaim old usernames continues with the launch of Watchlist, a service that will send a notification to a user once an unused name becomes available.
Those who filled out a Yahoo! username wish list by Aug. 7 can find out this week if the name they wanted is available. But for those who missed the deadline, users can add up to five usernames to Watchlist for $1.99. Once an old username becomes available, participants will have up to 14 days to claim it.
The three most requested names for guys have been David, Michael and Alex. Ladies wanted Maria, Jennifer and Jessica.
The move is part of Yahoo's effort to delete accounts that have not been used in the last year so that others may take them. Previous username owners can rest assured that Yahoo! is working with Facebook and other services to make sure that important emails meant for the previous owner don't go to the new owner's account.

Many of Florida's important fisheries occur in both state and federal waters and are managed by both the FWC and federal agencies.
Eight regional fishery management councils were established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to advise the NOAA Fisheries Service on federal fishery management issues. These Councils develop fishery management plans and submit recommended regulations to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce based on public comment and scientific data.
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council manages fisheries in federal waters (beyond three nautical miles) off the Florida Atlantic coast to Key West and federal waters off North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council manages fisheries in federal waters (beyond nine nautical miles) off the Gulf coast of Florida and federal waters off of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
NOAA Fisheries Service is the federal agency that is responsible for the stewardship of the nation's living marine resources and their habitat. NOAA Fisheries Service also reviews regulations recommendations from the eight regional fishery management councils and decides whether or not to approve the regulations as an agency of the Department of Commerce.
NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office is the regulatory authority for fisheries management in federal waters off Florida's Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Marine Fisheries Commissions were established to coordinate the conservation and management of coastal fisheries
Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission - Member states include Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission - Member states include Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The FWC manages fisheries in state waters, but has a strong interest in how fish are managed in federal waters and how that management affects Floridians. FWC staff serves on both the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Councils Councils as well as the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions and coordinates with the Councils to improve fisheries management. The Councils and the FWC often enact consistent regulations in state and federal waters, but sometimes use different approaches to meet management goals. The FWC also partners with the Councils and NOAA Fisheries to collect fishery data, conduct research, assess fish stocks and enforce regulations.

As a parting gift to the University of Utah, graduating senior writers at the student newspaper decided to leave with a vulgar word, or two.
The starting letters of each of the nine veteran reporters' and staff members' editorials, including one written by editor-in-chief Rachel Hanson, spelled out coarse words for male and female reproductive organs in their final printed edition, which hit stands April 28. Since then, the stunt has gone viral, earning more than 8,400 votes on failblog.org. It has been shared on Facebook and Twitter at least 3,000 times.
"It wasn't meant to be obscene or pornographic," Hanson said. "It was in poor taste, I'll give you that, but it was just supposed to be a silly joke."
Some administrators at the U. believe otherwise and have placed a hold on all nine students' academic records and diplomas, saying they may have violated the U.'s Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, specifically providing an "intentional disruption" of university activities and unauthorized use of university resources, according to a letter sent to the students from the dean of students' office.
Chronicle adviser and former Salt Lake Tribune editor Jim Fisher, who resigned from his position a month ago after 10 years with the student paper, said he knew about the idea and had advised against it.
"I made it pretty clear it was going to cost them more than they knew," he said, adding that one of the words they used "is indefensible." But the backlash, he says, is unnecessary.
"The Chronicle is an independent newspaper. It is beholden to nobody," Fisher said, adding that the organization pays rent for the space used in the Union building on campus and purchases its own supplies. Student fees collected for the paper, he said, represent a subscription rate.
"While I don't defend their action, I will defend their right to do it forever," he said.
Although the idea came out of an 11-year tradition of hiding words within the last paper of the academic year, Hanson said the blame should rest on her alone, as the "figurehead" of the paper.
"My staff doesn't deserve what they've gone through," she said. "I was the one who knew about the tradition, and I spearheaded it."
After the fact, Hanson said she wishes she would've chosen different words, but she stands by the fact that the senior staff "wasn't trying to make a statement" and says "it should not be taken for more than it is."
The tradition began sometime in the '80s but later waned and then surfaced again in 1999, with editors keeping track of the words they got away with. Every year since, the staff act has gone largely unnoticed. Hidden words started out more benign, including "hateu," "tipsy" and "drunk," and have grown more vulgar over the years. Hanson said the staff struggled to find a word with nine letters, one for each senior column, and instead opted for a four- and a five-letter word for female and male genitalia.
Hanson hopes that her decision doesn't leave a lasting impact on the operation of the student newspaper.
"It is within their rights to yell at us, but it is not within their rights to withhold our records and prohibit us from getting a diploma," she said. Hanson said she has been meeting with an attorney who is interested in taking their case and has received a joint letter from the Student Press Law Center and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, saying they were within their bounds to print what they did. But she's hoping it won't escalate to a lawsuit.
The Chronicle distributes 15,000 newspapers every Monday through Thursday and publishes a weekend tabloid edition on Fridays. In the past, the staff has taken fire for, among other things, printing a story on prostitution as a viable profession and a satirical piece about the pope. Other editorial content has attracted attention from administrators. This, coupled with the financial situation at the paper, has kept it on the president's radar.
A woman in the dean's office said it had no comment on the issue.
As it stands, the students have an appointment to meet with the dean later next week, almost a week after Friday's graduation ceremony. But the incoming staff of the Chronicle, which in recent years has struggled to pay back a $70,000 deficit brought on by overspending and the economic downturn, intends to present the budget to administrators sometime in the coming weeks.

Dallas Loses 34-3, But Did Not Choke
Well, you can't win them all. As a person and fan, I've have to learn to accept that. Sometimes you don't win the big games.
This game the Cowboys lost while it is tragic they did, you can't win them all. There are some days where it would have been close, where Dallas would've won, where Minnesota would've won, where one is a blowout like today or a close one.
It comes down to who played the better game that day and that was Minnesota. This loss was painful, but Dallas wasn't horrible, Minnesota was just good.
If I may, I'd like to drift off for a second. Before I realized that sportswriting was my calling, I wanted to be a lawyer like in Law & Order. Well, one of the most famous legal quotes is by Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart when it came to the definition of obscenity.
"I cannot define it, but I know it when I see it."
Well, its the same thing with Dallas. The final score of 34-3 is one that many people who didn't watch the game would say, "Aw, they got killed! They suck! They are such pathetic chokers!"
Well, they don't know anything. They are immature haters usually. The reality is that Dallas played a hard game, but Minnesota was just better. There wasn't a choking moment, the Vikings just controlled the game. There was a lot of bad luck for the Cowboys.
I cannot define the difference between choking and being outplayed, but I know it when I see it, and Dallas did not choke. I can't upload film to my computer and send ESP to you to point out where this went wrong or how this was just Minnesota playing great ball, but I can hope that you trust my instincts and believe that Dallas is still a great team.
Believe it or not, there is a lot of luck in this game, and Dallas just had some bad luck today.
What Dallas needs to do is to reevaluate themselves. Look at what needs to change on offense or on defense. They need to constantly train throughout the offseason. Preparation is half the game. Some of the best teams have had only good athletes, but they were disciplined and ready for the postseason.
Dallas was ready. I have no doubt they were ready, but they were probably inexperienced. This team now has more experience, and they will make an effort next year to go even further into playoffs. To may get that chance at a Super Bowl. To possibly get that sixth Super Bowl ring.
This was just not Dallas' time. I truly believe that Minnesota was a team that no one could have beaten today. This team had everything going its way, and you can't always prevent that.
Despite this loss, I am still a Cowboys fan. I love this team. I love these guys, and I'm proud of them. They seem like a team that is seriously a contender for a Super Bowl for years to come maybe.
I remember in the 1970s, one of the finest teams that was playing was the Oakland Raider coached by Hall of Fame coach and legendary announcer John Madden, was a team that was eliminated often in the postseason.
From 1969 to 1978, John Madden won 103 regular season games with the Raiders and won nine playoff games.
Before 1976 however, Madden was known as the coach who couldn't win the big one, and his team was known as one who couldn't finish it all in playoffs.
To paraphrase him from the 1976 America's Game, "People say that Madden can't win the big one. Well, before the game, tell me when there's a little one?"
They had won big games, they had won playoff games, they hadn't won a championship, but Madden was never discouraged because if you constantly work at it and keep trying, then you will win a Super Bowl. John Madden was very calm and very confident in his guys for the upcoming season.
He finally assembled a team that went 13-1 and won the Super Bowl 32-14. It did happen for him because he realized that sometimes great teams take a while to get it all done.
Dallas has won big games, they've won a playoff game, they won in December and January, so they haven't won a Super Bowl yet, but they are on the right track for that and I believe that it will happen one day for these guys.
Even if they don't do it next year, I'll still be watching these guys, and I'll still believe in them.
So, if any Cowboy reads this, know I got your back too guys.

Apocalypse Now?
"On a recent Saturday night, I went to the movies. Walking past the theater showing 'I Am Legend' (plague kills most of humanity), I opted to watch 'Cloverfield' (inexplicably angry alien destroys Manhattan) instead. After sitting through back-to-back previews for 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' (ancient truce between Hell and Earth is revoked, resulting in mass destruction) and 'Doomsday' (lethal virus ravages England, a disease-ridden cinematic cousin to '28 Days Later' and 'Children of Men'), I found myself disturbed.

The problem is only with an image with an intense area of black - it prints fine across the entire width of the canvas except for some small blotches of uneven ink which leap frog across the canvas in an almost straight line running about 1/4 across the page. (I'm printing 24" wide canvas)
I set the cleaning routine to clean the heads , then replaced the maitenance cartrige (error message came on) then cleaned again.
I printed another 24 " wide canvas which is predominantly white with no problems.
Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

Continuing update for anyone who wants to chip in.
The lines/streaks or "blobs" are vertical. I ran both cleaning routines (A) and (B) and the nozzle check. The print out of nozzle check appeared fine - no faint areas and no streaks or blobs. In spite of this, I would print another image - and it would have the same problem - almost always in the same vertical position which is about 4 or 5 inches from the left side of the 24" role.
Then I ran the printer alignment routine - it did another print out - again, nothing to my eye visibly wrong. All bands were completed and printed without issue.
After wasting almost 7 meters of paper, and goodness knows how much ink (through cleaning) - I changed the paper to enhanced velvet.
And printed an image with a predominantly white background.
This time the printer splattered tiny amounts of black ink in the same vertical position (admitting it was much less and barely perceptible and only on the very top (ie at the beginning of the print job) - in spite of the fact there is no black background or requirement for black ink in that area of the image.
So, today I called Canon and will have a technician come out. While they won't say for sure without looking at the machine, based on my description, he said it could be the drum...and worst case the printer heads.
Based on all the research I have done on line in the last 3 days, nothing suggests a print head problem and I have no idea what a drum problem is, so any opinions, comments or thoughts are welcome.
Regardless, I will update this thread if for no other reason to let others who own this printer of the outcome for informational purposes.

By any chance... is this at all like the problem I had??? See in this post..
As you can see, nobody replied. It still happens, luckily quite rarely no. The good thing is that when I print on canvas, the area affected gets covered by tape. Also, I just noticed a bit in the last week where the color was green, not blue like all the other times. It is clearly just one color channel, but now another one. It is so infrequent now though that I don't worry about it. I assume it could perhaps be a seal issue, where maybe the printhead isn't totally sealed against the lines feeding into it, so the slightest loss of suction can case a bit of ink to spill out?? I would love to look at the printhead but fear I will mess it up more if I poke around too much.
It is very frustrating when it ruins a print, but thankfully it happens quite rarely now.

Hi KP
wow when you said blobs you really meant it. :o
No unfortunately I cannot say it looks the same but after thinking on it I've decided to try replacing the Matt Black ink cartridge which needs replacement anyway now since I've consumed ink through cleaning and test printing several black images.
I am going to tell Canon to hold off coming until I try cartridge replacement and also, test to see if it improves the more I print becuase the last print I did on velvet was almost perfect.
Your point about the seal leaking seems to make sense - while I"m not technical it must be something like that because black ink was appearing on a white print.
I also need to correct an earlier statement - after viewing the nozzle check print out in better light I see the same small "spatter" of black ink on the Left nozzle which is being "splattered" lightly over top of the print out in a localized cluster in the top left quadrant as opposed to randomly all over the page.
Its unfortunately ruined all my 24" prints and I think the only possible salvage would be to print < 20" canvases.
Thanks anyway,

I replaced the matt black ink cartridge and printed the same white background image at maximum dpi (highest printer quality setting) and its perfect
Incredibly (and somewhat annoying) the maintenance cartridge is at 60% and I only replaced it Saturday and did (I think ) about 2 or 3 cleanings.
I hope this is the end of it and will have to try printing more this week to be sure.
Anyway, for anyone interested, I found this help /troubleshooting info for HP printers very informative even though I have a canon printer - it gave me some good ideas - far more than the Canon help offered (When I called Canon for support- they offered no help, tips, or ideas and only asked if I wanted to pay for a technician)

I think I had a similar problem on my 6100 just over a year ago. My local dealer in Southampton came out and had a look and needed to clean the area around the pump assembly (i think that is what it was), the area where the heads park was a bit gummed up. The printer had done about four years of quite hard work by this time. I had already replaced the printheads a year or so before as they are just treated like consumables and have a limited life. About four months after the service I traded the printer in for a 6300 which is great. The dealer charged about £100 for the work by the way.

Thanks Jim. I was away 8 months last year and the printer pretty much stayed on - and dormant. That probably didn't help the printer heads with lack of use.
So, I have mixed feelings about it, its certainly expensive to feed ink but I've grown accustomed to having it.
Anyway - I'm not prepared to invest $1600 CDN for 2 new print heads (current pricing) when I could lease a new 6300 or 6400 printer for about $150 month - so if and when that happens, maybe I will turn it into a doorstop.
You sound like your printer was subjected to much heavier use. I am hoping to get at least 2 more years.
The dealer charge here in Canada (Ontario) is $160/hour.

Asus EAH4850 MT Republic of Gamers HD 4850 Review
With the explosion of GPU chipsets for video cards, manufacturers are hard at work to bring out their secret weapon that will sweep buyers off their feet and buy their video cards instead of a competitor's card. One company that has been releasing computer components and more for some time, has taken its current video cards and designed them to appeal to the gamer on a more personal level. Most gamers and enthusiasts are not happy with stock components and tend to push their hardware to the limits. One video card GPU in particular has been very overclocking friendly and now it has been taken a step further. ASUS, building off of its famous Republic of Gamers brand, has released a version of the HD 4850 video card aimed at those of us with that itch to push our hardware. This new card is the ASUS EAH4850 MT. So what is so special? Well the MT designation signifies the Matrix Series by ASUS, which uses hardware and software to allow you to push your card to the maximum potential easier and with more overall control. The HD 4850 Matrix takes the stock HD 4850 core design and expands on it, allowing it to be tweaked to higher speeds and run cooler than ever before. If I haven't gotten your interest peaked yet, how about we take a better look at the card.
Closer Look:
Since this is a brand new card, ASUS sent us the HD 4850 and accessories without retail packaging. At first glance you can see the massive heatsink that is attached. We will get more into that on the next page. Included with the ASUS EAH4850 MT is the Speed Setup booklet, an iTracker manual, a manual CD, drivers CD, molex to 6-pin PCI Express adapter, a component video dongle, and a DVI to HDMI adapter. It's important to note that this is subject to change, as this was not a retail package.
Since everything is already unpackaged for us, how about we take a closer look at this beauty?

Here's an in-depth look on how students fared on TCAPs:
• 2013 TCAP Hamilton County Scores
Here are three other trends from the 2013 TCAP results and how they're underscored by what's happening in Hamilton County schools.
Strong leaders, strong teachers, strong scores
No one -- teachers, students or the principal -- escapes scrutiny at Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy. The school follows the data on each student's performance intensely. Elaine Swafford, who earned her educational street cred years ago as principal of the Howard School, took over the charter school a year ago. After all teachers reapplied for their positions as part of a federal grant school turnaround model, about 10 were swapped out. The school day was extended and academic coaches were brought on. So far, scores are improving: The amount of students passing middle school math tests increased by 27.1 percentage points and reading was up by 13. 9 points. "Everybody knows in education there's not a silver bullet," Swafford said. "Schools go where leaders and teachers take them."
Arts and academics
Educators have long cited a relationship between the arts and academic performance. And as evidence, some point to the six Hamilton County reward schools that were recognized by the state for posting the highest overall academic achievement in Tennessee. Of those six, all have a visual arts program, though three of those are paid for by parents and community support. Yet only 15 of the county's 44 elementary schools have a visual arts teacher. Neelie Parker, principal at Big Ridge Elementary, one of the district's reward schools, said the school's strong art and music programs are a big part of the school's academic success. "I'm a firm believer that you have to look at the whole child," she said.
Inner-city renewal
Five of Hamilton County's lowest-performing schools -- grouped together in the district's iZone -- are in the thick of what district leaders hope will be a transformation. And already one of those schools, Orchard Knob Elementary, is posting big gains. Though its overall performance placed it in the bottom 5 percent of Tennessee schools, Orchard Knob saw enough growth in 2013 to also be named a reward school for its improvement. Social studies scores moved up nearly 24 percentage points, while math improved 7.4 percent and reading scores inched up a point and a half. The iZone is pumping some $10 million into its five schools, increasing teacher pay, training opportunities and the length of the school day. Principal LaFrederick Thirkill says those things, together with the growth teachers are already realizing, will get Orchard Knob out of the iZone. "Money doesn't raise test scores," he said. "Effective teaching practices raise test scores."
Here's how students fared on TCAPs. Results show the percentage of students performing at grade level for grades three through eight.
Hamilton County - 2011 - 2012 - 2013
Reading - 44.6 - 45.7 - 46.9
Math - 44.9 - 49.6 - 54.2
Tennessee - 2011 - 2012 - 2013
Reading - 47.5 - 49.9 - 50.3
Math - 41 - 47.2 - 50.7
Source: Tennessee Department of Education
The narrative about Tennessee's public schools in the past few years has been dominated by reform and improvement. State officials contend that their policy shifts on everything from teacher accountability to state standards have been successful, as evidenced by growth on student test scores.
And by and large, test scores have slowly but surely improved statewide.
Again this year, more of Tennessee's students passed state tests in math, science and reading. But the last few years of testing data, especially in Hamilton County, show that scores in reading and language arts are barely inching forward. While math scores for students in grades three through eight improved by nearly 10 percentage points between 2011 and 2013, results show reading scores improved by only about 2 percentage points over those three years.
Statewide test averages show a similar story. While Tennessee's elementary and middle schoolers originally performed better in reading in 2011, growth in math scores means that more students are now meeting expectations in math than in reading.
"Scores are definitely not where we want them to be," said Kelli Gauthier, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Education. "We've been really happy with the results we've seen in math and science. But reading continues to be an area where we want to put additional resources."
Hamilton County Schools officials say the divide between the ABCs and 123s is getting special attention this school year, with a new reading initiative and key staffers recruited to lead it.
To lead the effort, the system's central office tapped Aimee Randolph, formerly principal of Thrasher Elementary School, one of the district's biggest success stories. Thrasher was among only three schools in Tennessee to be named reward schools -- a designation for the top 5 percent of schools -- two years in a row for both overall high test scores and growth in test scores. Randolph is now the district's director of instruction, overseeing K-12 teaching efforts.
"Who better for the job?" Superintendent Rick Smith said.
And former Calvin Donaldson Elementary Principal Becky Coleman now oversees a districtwide literacy push from the central office. Smith said the entire school system is making reading a focus this year.
"Moving that needle is not an easy thing," he said. "It's not an overnight event. It takes some real intentional planning, professional development and focus. And that's what we're trying to instill in our classroom teachers."
Coleman said the district is putting a "laserlike focus" on reading and literacy training this year. Teachers have more training opportunities this year, and the district has rolled out a new K-12 "framework" for reading efforts. It's similar to an earlier math framework, which district leaders cite as one reason behind improving math scores across the system.
In a new curriculum map for reading teachers, officials have dissected which state reading standards teachers ought to be teaching each quarter. And principals are getting extra attention, too, Coleman said, through new training sessions designed to help them better help teachers in reading.
But ultimately, the teaching of reading happens with individual students, who need teachers to meet them wherever they are, she said.
"Literacy is organic," Coleman said. "So you have to be able to identify specifically the needs of that student in literacy."
On their face, Hamilton County's reading scores could be alarming. On average, 46.9 percent of students in grades three through eight met grade-level expectations in reading. But LaFrederick Thirkill, principal of Orchard Knob Elementary, said there's more to the state's reading Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program scores than just the skill of reading.
"TCAP doesn't assess reading," he said. "It assesses a child's ability to think critically about the test. It's not about reading."
The TCAP tests grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and other language arts skills, Thirkill said. Because to actually test a child's fluency in reading, a teacher would have to watch and listen to a child as he reads.
In reading classes, students are often grouped by ability. Different texts are made available based on a student's reading level. Schools are invested heavily in the idea of reading abilities, Thirkill said, yet the state's test looks at more than just whether students are literate.
"We're focusing on reading levels," he said, "and the state assessments are focusing on standards of critical thinking."

Here are selected highlights from the recently released 2013 TCAP scores:
• Results at the Howard School plummeted in several categories. Algebra I scores were down 13 percentage points. On English I tests, only about a quarter of students met gradelevel expectations - down more than 20 percentage points from last year. In Biology I, only 13 percent of students passed, a nearly 35-point drop over 2012.
• The newly minted STEM School Chattanooga posted English I test scores above both state and Hamilton County averages. On Algebra I, 51.1 percent of STEM students met gradelevel expectations, shy of the statewide average of 60.3 percent, yet still above the Hamilton County average of 49.3.
• In its first year of public test scores, the Chattanooga Charter School of Excellence posted math scores near state and county averages. But with 53.3 percent of students reading at grade level, its reading/language arts scores surpassed both state and local averages.

SYNTHROID FOR SALE, The Iowa basketball players who actually spoke to reporters on Monday — we got to talk to Cully Payne and Eric May — seemed excited with the system of new coach Fran McCaffery.
McCaffery promised an uptempo offense and changing defenses, my SYNTHROID experience, Generic SYNTHROID, a refreshing change from the one-way-and-one-way-only style of former coach Todd Lickliter.
"I'm going to coach with passion, purchase SYNTHROID for sale, Order SYNTHROID online c.o.d, but our players are going to have fun," McCaffery said, where can i order SYNTHROID without prescription. Buy SYNTHROID without a prescription, That's something that has been lacking in Iowa City in the last few seasons.
This season's Iowa team always felt like a dog straining at the leash, buy SYNTHROID without prescription, SYNTHROID used for, wanting to run and have fun.
Now they're going to get the chance, but it might not be the best fit for some, SYNTHROID FOR SALE.
The four incoming recruits — Ben Brust, buy no prescription SYNTHROID online, SYNTHROID dangers, Zach McCabe, Cody Larson and Devyn Marble — seem to be players who can thrive in such an offense, SYNTHROID reviews. Where can i cheapest SYNTHROID online, For the remaining players, though, SYNTHROID forum, SYNTHROID results, it will be a new experience.
A look at how they'll fit:
• Payne. He likes to run, online buy SYNTHROID without a prescription, Online buying SYNTHROID hcl, but didn't get much of a chance to do that this season. He will have to make better decisions — he had a team-leading 102 turnovers — and he'll need to have a quality backup, SYNTHROID dosage, Where to buy SYNTHROID, but this offense seems to be a perfect fit.
• May. SYNTHROID FOR SALE, Like Payne, May looks like a player who will benefit from a fast-break offense. He's probably the best athlete on the team, where can i buy SYNTHROID online. SYNTHROID coupon, A faster tempo, and improved accuracy from 3-point range, buy SYNTHROID online cod, SYNTHROID overnight, could make May one of the best overall players in the conference. He's also a solid defender, fast shipping SYNTHROID, Buy SYNTHROID from canada, and can adapt to man or zone, and will fit well in a pressing defense, discount SYNTHROID. SYNTHROID class, • Matt Gatens. It will be interesting to see how he fits in an uptempo style, SYNTHROID FOR SALE. Gatens had another solid season — 12.3 points, ordering SYNTHROID online, SYNTHROID blogs, 105 assists — in Lickliter's offense. He's athletic enough to run the court, herbal SYNTHROID, SYNTHROID use, but if he averages 37 minutes per game and struggles with his ankle again, it could be a long season for him.
• Aaron Fuller. Not meaning to cause any panic here, but will Fuller be back. SYNTHROID FOR SALE, His silence in the last couple of days has been strange. Still, an uptempo style would fit him. He's another player who looks ready to run. Defensively, he would work well on the back end of the press and might benefit in a zone.
• Jarryd Cole. Always seemed like a square-peg-in-a-round-hole fit in the Lickliter offense. We heard so much about his outside shot before the season, but didn't see it much, SYNTHROID FOR SALE. He doesn't have the best of hands, which won't help on a fast break.
• Brennan Cougill. Really a bad fit in an uptempo style. Needs to slim down to run the court, and needs to get stronger inside as a defender.
• Andrew Brommer. Like Cole, bad hands. SYNTHROID FOR SALE, Solid rebounder, and could be a good defender with some work. Looks like he could run the court if given the chance.
• Devon Archie. His only game experience in the last year came in the summer Prime Time League. Looked athletic, but with raw skills. The year off might have helped him. Came from an uptempo juco style in Vincennes, so could be a good fit.

plasmapuff wrote:This could be because the gearing is big chainring/big cluster cog, which is not the gear of choice. I usually use gearing such that the big half of the cluster is on the smaller chainring, and the smaller half of the cluster is on the big chainring ie 17-23/39 and 11-15/53 to avoid stretching the chain and derailleur.
Whoops I didn't know this... I was using big chain ring with large cluster pretty consistently on the flats on the 100 km ride on Sunday.
So in that case whats a good combo to use on the flats? Say if you wanted to maintain 30km at high cadence? (I was using the big-big previously)
Big-to-big and little-to-little is called 'cross-chaining'. It's best to avoid these two extreme gears. I'd mainly avoid them because they're often a bit noisy (the chain might rub on the front derailleur cage). Putting the chain on both the largest sprocket and chainring bike forces the chain to engage or leave each at the most extreme angle possible, which (in theory) stresses the links. I wouldn't say you have to avoid it completely, but I'd avoid cross-chaining for prolonged periods. There's just no need.
On modern road bikes you've got so many gears to choose from that there's no need to cross-chain. If you find yourself needing to be in the big-big combination, shift your front chainring down and go up a couple of gears at the back. You'll find a similar gear easily enough.
FWIW, I think your chain length looks fine. You've got enough length there that the big-big combination isn't locking up your rear derailleur. Most of us don't often see a photo of a bike in the big-big combo, which is perhaps why it's raised a few eyebrows.
