This online exhibition of letters and audio, created by the Gilder Lehrman Institute and the Legacy Project, features correspondence from over 200 years of American conflicts, ranging from the Revolution to the war in Iraq. This exhibition uses the words of famous generals and lesser-known troops, as well as parents, sweethearts, and children, to explore such themes as leaving home, life in the military, the pride and worries of those left behind, and ultimate sacrifice.

I am not an American History fanatic, but your site gives any student any information that they will require for their history classes. Thank you so much for the detailed insight that your institution has provided for me.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Everyone around him was telling Jason Day to withdraw from the Dell Match Play and not risk further injury to his back.
Day knew he was playing well enough to win and wanted to stick it out.
The decision paid off in more ways than he could imagine.
Day returned to No. 1 in the world by making it to Sunday. It felt even sweeter when he beat Rory McIlroy in an epic semifinal, and then beat Louis Oosthuizen in a championship match so one-sided that it might as well have been a victory lap around Austin Country Club.
"I'm glad I didn't listen," Day said. "I wanted to win. I wanted to win so bad that I felt with how I was playing,...

If you would like to start a graduate or professional degree program, but don't have the necessary science prerequisites, you may complete that coursework in National University's Prerequisite Program. (Note: This program is only offered on our Lombard campus.)
Courses are offered in two accelerated 8-week sessions or a traditional 15-week session. This allows you to take the classes at the pace that best suits your learning style and your educational goals.
Classes are scheduled on weekday evenings with laboratories on Saturdays. Each class allows you to earn a full three or four semester hours of credit, depending on its required laboratory component.
The Prerequisite Program allows you to get to know National University professors, and become familiar with the campus. This puts you at an advantage when you begin your advanced degree. We also welcome students who wish to fulfill requirements for programs at other schools.
Students enrolled in the Prerequisite Program are eligible for on-campus student housing. Additionally, they are eligible to receive financial aid if certain qualifications are met.
Unfortunately, due to visa restrictions, international students are not eligible for the Prerequisite Program and cannot be admitted.

Although the studio's "Twilight" movies have broken all kinds of box office records, can Lions Gate Entertainment stock continue to rise as the franchise comes to an end?
"Fast Money" trader Guy Adami thinks it can.
Shares of Lions Gate have surged 86 percent this year, in part due to the success of the studio's "Twilight" films.
The first four movies have grossed more than $2.5 billion at the box office, but the franchise is coming to an end.
Although the studio's "Twilight" movies have broken all kinds of box office records, can Lions Gate Entertainment stock continue to rise as the franchise comes to an end?
The latest film, "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2," is the final installment in the saga. Although reports suggest the film could break all kinds of box office records, the Bella-Edward-Jacob love triangle draws to a close.
Nonetheless, Adami — who is managing director of stockMONSTER.com — doesn't think that's a reason to fear this stock.
Lions Gate has a strong pipeline, said the trader. Among their many films in production is the follow up in another blockbuster franchise — "The Hunger Games."
Lions Gate is also behind the hit TV shows "Nashville" and "Weeds." And it is massively deleveraging the balance sheet from $1 billion of debt to about $500 million in about two years.
And in a live interview on CNBC, Lions Gate Chairman Michael Burns told "Fast Money" some of that money could go to a small dividend.
"We are going to spend our money on what we consider to be the best use of capital for our shareholders," he said. "Could we pay a small dividend? Sure we could."
Also, Burns did not rule out another "Twilight" film.
"A follow up would be up to 'Twilight' author Stephanie Meyer — however we are hopeful that she would consider another set of books," he said.
All told, stockMONSTER.com's Adami likes the stock. "Lions Gate stock sold off recently," he said. "At currently levels, I'd own it." Top trader Jon Najarian agreed.

Denon AVR-4810CI
Key Features
|$2,999 usa.denon.com
|• 9 x 140 watts (2 channels driven; 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.05% THD) • 6 HDMI inputs (1 on front panel), 2 outputs • Transcodes (bidirectionally) component-, composite-, and S-video to HDMI • Upconverts lower-rez analog and digital video to 1080p format • Decodes Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DSD (SACD) • Audyssey DSX and Dolby PLIIz enhanced-surround modes • Audyssey MultEQ XT auto setup/equalization with supplied microphone • Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume level correction • Fully graphical HD onscreen displays • FM/AM/HD Radio XM/Sirius tuner with 56 presets • XM/Sirius satellite radio-ready • Assignable powered zone 2/3 (stereo) or 2+3 (mono); zone 4 (optical-digital); zone 2 component or composite video • 10-component preprogrammed remote, plus secondary remote • IR in/out, 12-v trigger (2), RS-232 serial port Dimensions + Weight 171?8 x 75?8 x 163?8 in; 42 lb
Denon's AVR-4810CI sits near the top of the company's dizzyingly complete line of 13 A/V receivers. At three large, the AVR-4810CI ain't cheap, but because it's nearly half the price of the flagship AVR-5308CI, and has most of the same stuff where I think it counts the most, it was with some anticipation that I unboxed the 42-pound Denon and hefted it onto my equipment rack.
Among the above-cited stuff is the AVR-4810CI's full complement of Dolby and DTS modes, XM/Sirius satellite-radio readiness, DLNA-certified streaming of networked audio/Internet radio, and a full bag of Audyssey DSP magic tricks, including the now-familiar auto-setup and MultEQ XT room-/speaker-correction routines, along with Dynamic Volume and EQ. And then there's the latest Audyssey entity, DSX enhanced surround, which augments standard 5/6/7.1-channel layouts through synthesizing new width and height signals to send to two or four additional speakers. (The AVR-4810CI has nine onboard amplifier channels, plus preamp outputs to drive a separate amplifier in 11-speaker surround setups.) SETUP
As is usual in the HDMI age, the hardest part of setting up an A/V receiver, the DenonAVR-4810CI included, was lifting it onto my cabinet. Speaker wires, HDMI cables, and the subwoofer interconnect - the lone analog-audio cable remaining to most systems these days - were strictly plug and play. I placed a pair of excellent two-way speakers for the Audyssey DSX Width channels outboard and just slightly in front of the main pair; for Height, used by both DSX and Dolby PLIIz, I mounted a similar but smaller pair high in the front corners. This is more speakers than most people have in their homes, summer homes, and cars combined, but what the hey.
Audyssey auto setup handled the rest. This is by now so familiar a part of my setup routine that the resultant improvements in spatial clarity and bass definition and evenness no longer elicit so much as an eyebrow elevation hereabouts. It would be nice if it'd include a robotic microphone that moved itself (to the multiple mic positions MultEQ XT requires for its differential analysis of room effects). You know, something like those automated vacuum cleaners, so you could go out for a latté during the whole tedious "bweep-ing" business as Audyssey unleashes its test tones.

Minneapolis Animal Care and Control is helping find homes for seven Great Danes after seizing them from a hoarder's home.
Animal control agents recently discovered the seven huge dogs in the home, which is more than is allowed under city ordinance. The agency said the home was filthy, and that the dogs were not socialized or receiving humane care.
Agents persuaded the homeowner to give up the dogs. Two puppies were adopted, and the remaining five dogs are being released to Great Dane Rescue of Minnesota and Wisconsin. That organization will care for and rehabilitate the dogs until they can be adopted.
Minneapolis Animal Care and Control says people should not take in more animals than they are able to care for, even if they are acting with good intentions.

Well actually, it arose because you continue to push your personal bias, which is plain to see not only in this thread but also several other threads where you make your disdain for those who wear lycra quite apparent.
Now you are shifting your ground because you have next to no support, and are trying to recast your position to claim that it puts other people off cycling.
But there are plenty here who, like myself, realise that it's all about your personal prejudices.

NSA's Response To Snowden Leaks Isn't To Stop Spying, But To Make It More Difficult To Blow The Whistle
from the wrong-lesson dept
The director of the N.S.A., Gen. Keith B. Alexander, acknowledged the problem in a television interview on Sunday and said his agency would institute "a two-man rule" that would limit the ability of each of its 1,000 system administrators to gain unfettered access to the entire system. The rule, which would require a second check on each attempt to access sensitive information, is already in place in some intelligence agencies. It is a concept borrowed from the field of cryptography, where, in effect, two sets of keys are required to unlock a safe.Basically: we won't fix the actual problem, we'll just makes sure it's much more difficult for the next whistleblower to expose us. That's not particularly comforting.
From government agencies to corporate America, there is a renewed emphasis on thwarting the rogue I.T. employee. Such in-house breaches are relatively rare, but the N.S.A. leaks have prompted assessments of the best precautions businesses and government can take, from added checks and balances to increased scrutiny during hiring.

Charles V. Shorten Ph.D, P.E.
209 Sturzebecker Health Sciences Center
West Chester, PA 19383
Phone: 610-436-2360
Within the Environmental Health program at West Chester University, students complete preparative course work in the sciences, including chemistry, biology, physics, and geology. Additionally they complete required courses in Environmental Health (toxicology, epidemiology, and seminar) and elective courses in areas such as industrial hygiene, hazardous waste management, risk assessment, and water quality. Both qualitative and quantitative aspects of Environmental Health are covered, and oral and written communications are stressed as well. As a capstone experience, students in this program complete a 540-hour internship with industry, government, or volunteer organizations at the completion of their course work. Students receive 12 academic credits for their services during this internship. Student pay is independently negotiated between the internship supervisor and the student, and is not a requirement of the internship.
Before the internship may begin, the student, internship supervisor, and faculty advisor must agree, in writing, to the terms and conditions of the position. This document serves, in effect, as the "syllabus" or contract for the internship so that all parties, but particularly the student, know in advance exactly what is expected of him or her. In order to earn these credits the intern must complete the following:
The role of the student intern is to work in an occupational setting, at an entry level, while bringing his or her skills and education to bear on a pressing, real-world environmental health problem. The intern at this point of his or her career should be immersed in both the academic and occupational environment, with constant feedback from both the faculty advisor and the internship supervisor. Ideally, the internship experience will culminate in the development of a useful skill or a completed project which the student can cite as a noteworthy accomplishment.
The internship supervisor's role is that of daily oversight of the student intern, as he or she would supervise any employee. This includes assignment of duties, tasks, and priorities as well as the conduct of advisement, encouragement, and disciplinary action if necessary. The internship supervisor should serve in a professional mentoring capacity to the student, where possible, allowing the student to both learn from mistakes and build professional confidence from successes.
The role of the faculty supervisor is to make sure that the position is suitable for academic credit at the senior undergraduate level, that the working environment is stable and that the personnel structure is in place to help guide the student through a learning experience. The faculty advisor will visit the site, the internship supervisor, and the student (once placed) to make sure that all conditions of the internship are being met. The faculty advisor acts as liaison between the student and the internship supervisor, as needed. Ultimately, the faculty advisor assigns the course grade, in consultation with the internship supervisor.

"Beneath the sheen of do-gooder ideology, FairSearch can be most charitably described as a Google watchdog. It seeks to fan the flames of disapproval where they've started organically, originate them where they haven't, and generally disseminate negativity toward the Google brand. Think of it as a PR firm working to destroy rather than create goodwill." To make matters worse, FairSearch' work isn't even very good.

(Dark Woody Allen tale)
You'll recognize writer/
director Woody Allen's style throughout this humorless, dark tale of love, deception and emotional instability. The movie is worth seeing if only for Cate Blanchett's stunning performance as Jasmine, a wealthy woman who goes off the deep end after she loses her unfaithful husband (Alec Baldwin), her fortune and her sanity.
The movie jumps back and forth from her wealthy West Coast lifestyle to her moving in with Ginger, her sister (the wonderful Sally Hawkins) in a lower class New York City neighborhood. Jasmine has nothing, including her self-respect, and loathes everything about her sister's lifestyle, choices of men, children, clothes and even her furniture.
As Jasmine and Ginger were both adopted, their different genes explain away their major differences, besides the fact that mother liked Jasmine better.
Jasmine puts down Ginger's boyfriend at every turn, even encouraging her to have a fling. Jasmine has her own fling. Both situations turn to disaster, with one of them surviving to rediscover her self-respect.
Alec Baldwin is the character you love to hate. He cheats on his wife. He cheats on the government. And he loses the $200,000 lottery winnings that Ginger and her first husband entrust him with.
This is a movie about deception: deceiving yourself and deceiving others. Jasmine drinks and talks to herself. Ginger learns how to cope and survive.
While Woody leaves you hanging at the end, you can pretty much figure out who will survive.
Rated PG-13, with some profanity and sexual situations. Kids, like Jasmine, won't have a clue as to what is going on.

In addition to the benefits offered by the Classic Care Club — including members' parts discounts and priority service at all ROUTE 66 RV Network dealers while traveling — the Passport 66 RV Club also provides members with:
• Up to 50% off at nearly 3,000 campgrounds, hotels and resorts through Passport America and Freedom Resorts.

• Unique offers at www.Parts66.com, the network's new online parts store.
"We've launched the Passport 66 RV Club with a very solid team of partners and valuable RV customer benefits, but we see it as a very dynamic process that we intend to regularly enhance with new partners and programs," Francis noted.
To upgrade from a current Classic Care Club membership or to learn more, visit the Passport 66 RV Club website at www.Passport66RV.com.

Information Technology: currently 4308 jobs.The latest job was posted on 14 Dec 18.
Information Technology
From retail banks, investments banks and insurance companies through to hedge funds and private equity firms, the implementation and effective maintenance of the right technology can provide competitive advantage and cost savings that are essential for the long term success of any company. This is why financial services are now one of the biggest employers of IT professionals in the world.
Information technology jobs in the financial services sector are offered by companies operating within the industry and by third-party vendors, who deliver their services to finance companies, and are usually divided into five key areas:
Developers are at the very leading edge of technology. It is within this role that new platforms are created offering those with Java and other coding skills the ability to realise their full potential. Or for those banks that buy 'off the shelf' platforms, developers are required to tailor the system and ensure effective implementation across the entire network. This is a very demanding role that can bring massive rewards.
Business Analysts
Whether you are a technology support analyst, a client support analyst - technology or take on a different job title, the role of any business analyst in IT is to identify a business need and then liaise with the IT department to find a solution. Such improvements can provide a strategic advantage over the competition and the opportunity for heightened success.
Project Managers
It is the role of the project manager to lead the effective implementation of any new IT project. This will start with strategy planning and go through structuring, implementation to completion.
Project managers are required to liaise closely with developers, third party vendors and internal business clients to ensure every new IT project is a success.
Technical Support
When any type of IT issue arises, it is the responsibility of those within technical support to resolve it. Some technical support jobs will focus on one programming language or platform, while others will span hardware, software, networks and databases. Find the role for you and the challenges bring their own rewards.

Knight Sky Racing Blog
Added: June 14, 2009 01:10:28 AM | Views: 3 |
It seems like yesterday how I became a devoted follower of the sport of Horse Racing. I started out in 1985 marvelling at the exploits of legendary claiming trainers named Oscar Barrera, "Pistol Pete" Ferriola and Gasper Moschera on the New York circuit. I also remember the incomparable jockey colony on the west coast that consisted of names like McCarron, Delahoussaye, Stevens, Pincay, and Shoemaker. And oh, a neat little horse called Spend a Buck was constantly in the news that year. How times have changed!
So how does one put into one post a summary of nearly a quarter century of experience as a horse racing fan? I simply can not. So I'd like to mention a pivotal event in my life that occurred back in 1996: I bought my first personal computer, the Macintosh Performa.

Player News: Marion's Got Protection, Flozell Signs
Restricted free agent Marion Barber has been tendered for $2.562 million. Any team looking to propose an offer to Barber would also have to give up a first and third round draft pick if the Cowboys failed to match the offer. I think that pretty much ensures Barber will be a Cowboy next season. The Cowboys will probably offer the Pro Bowl running back a long-term contract after free agency.
Chris Canty was also tendered for $2.017 million, any team going after Canty would have to give up a first round draft pick in the deal. Canty is a 3-year veteran who had an impressive year in '07. I would like to see him remain in Dallas.
Guard Joe Berger received the $927,000 tender.
Irving native Tyson Thompson was not offered a tender and therefore will probably no longer be in Dallas.
Fullback Oliver Hoyte was waived today. He spent alot of time injured and never really brought anything to the table. His football career may come to an end.
Unrestricted free agents include Julius Jones, Keith Davis, Flozell Adams, Nate Jones and Jacques Reeves. The Cowboys may go up until the 11pm deadline negotiating with Flozell Adams. I wouldn't be surprised if Keith Davis ends up in Miami. As for Julius, Nate and Jacques, good luck out there guys!
***UPDATE: The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Flozell Adams has agreed to a multi-year contract, terms to be announced tomorrow.***

FREEday 3/2/12 - "FREE to Ignore the Bore of Authority"
Okay, so this turned out to be a rather large list. Best just skip the formalities and get right to the good stuff.
Arm Wrestling Evolution - AWE - We have every reason to love "extreme" boxing games. It's like an instinctual thing. But take the general concept of over-the-top characters, an awesome art style, special moves, and combine it all with arm wrestling? That's attention-grabbing on a whole new level. Also, my apologies for the pun. I swear it wasn't intentional.
Arm Wrestling Evolution - AWE
The Simpsons: Tapped Out - A city-building game featuring The Simpsons. Yeah, this totally won't get a ton of attention. Still, I think it's more than worth a mention. I mean we get to build our own Springfield. And interact with characters like Apu, Homer, Bart, etc. I can only imagine how many downloads it's going to get.
The Simpsons™: Tapped Out
Sky Settlers - Okay so it's yet another city-building game (of a sort). That doesn't mean it's not without its charm. I mean, building a floating city in the sky is cool. And it's got a nifty cartoon art style. Plus it's free and all that.
Sky Settlers
RPS Rumble - Melding puzzle gameplay, Rocks, Paper, Scissors rules, and garish Luchador masks is so ridiculous it's borderline genius. It's not exactly bursting with free content, but what's there is more than solid enough. And it can keep someone busy for quite a while depending on their personal skill level. Plus it's goofy, and goofy is almost always cool.
Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors Rumble - A Challenging Puzzle Game
R-Tech Commander: Galaxy XD - I know I'm a sucker for sci-fi stuff, but this one honestly looks pretty cool. RPG elements, strategy stuff, armada customization via ship classes and equipment, and a nifty visual style? Yeah, I'm totally sold. Which is even more cool because I don't actually have to buy anything.
R-Tech Commander: Galaxy XD
Zombie Panic in Wonderland - The bizarre WiiWare shmup has officially come to the App Store. And it's free. I think paying absolutely nothing to blast through waves of disfigured Wonderland denizens as any of seven characters with multiple weapons to choose from is a sweet deal. I mean, who wouldn't think that?
Zombie Panic in Wonderland Plus
Idonia - So help me I love character customization. So the idea of setting up a 3-person team (with 5 classes to choose from), then finding and equipping them with special gear (lewt drops!!!), and powering them up with special skills is quite alluring. Of course it's also got upgradable weapons and armor. And online PvP multiplayer. It's also free, people.

Secretary's Column:
By Dr. Melody Schopp
Department of Education
Lots of consideration surround science standards
You may have read last month about the final version of the Next Generation Science Standards release. South Dakota was one of the lead states, and I'm proud of all the educators and private industry experts across the state who were involved in the development process or provided feedback at some point or another.
The Department of Education will be conducting a thorough review of the finished product over the next several months, as we try to decide whether to move forward with adoption. There is a lot to consider, and certainly there are several merits to the NGSS and benefits should we choose to adopt them. However, we must examine all angles in deciding whether the NGSS is best for South Dakota.
I would encourage you to follow the process and weigh in when we begin asking for public comment. You can view the Next Generation Science Standards as finalized here. (http://www.nextgenscience.org/)
Also, as National Teacher Day approaches, I want to thank you and your certified staff for all the work you do throughout the year to foster positive outcomes for children across South Dakota. Effective teachers and administrators truly are critical to the success of our students.
Teacher Effectiveness Pilot schools being sought
The South Dakota Department of Education is now accepting applications for schools to join the 2013-14 Teacher Effectiveness Pilot Project. Click here to read a brief overview of the project. The pilot will be run at the school level, with district approval.
South Dakota's teaching standards are designed to serve as the foundation for professional conversations between teachers and administrators. Done right, evaluation systems built upon these standards will help teachers become more thoughtful and effective practitioners.
The pilot will allow schools an opportunity to experiment with, and inform, the model evaluation system that will be available to all districts in the 2014-15 school year. This system will encompass both qualitative measures of teaching practice based on the new standards (i.e., the Framework for Teaching) and quantitative measures of student growth.
To review the attached materials and apply, go to: Teacher Effectiveness Pilot
If you have any questions relating to the South Dakota Teacher Effectiveness Pilot, please contact Carla Leingang, South Dakota Department of Education, at (605) 773-4638, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Summer Reading Challenge promotes reading at the right level
The South Dakota Department of Education is launching Read! SD, a reading challenge aimed at curbing summer learning loss. With the help of online resources, teachers, librarians and parents will be able to help students identify books and other materials that are at an appropriate level of difficulty and aligned to the students' interests.
This challenge is unique in that it does not ask students to read as many books as possible, but rather promotes reading engaging material at an appropriate level for each individual child. By entering a Lexile measure and specified interests into an online "Find a Book" tool, students can create a customized reading list with challenging, engaging titles.
Summer learning loss is a primary concern when it comes to early literacy. You can help combat summer learning loss by promoting this challenge in your schools. Encourage your teachers and librarians to share information about the challenge. Visit the Read! SD webpage for more ways to promote the challenge in your school or community.
Common Core shifts can help teachers outline instruction
South Dakota's new content standards feature six major shifts for math, and six for English language arts. These shifts are the center upon which the standards are based, and highlight the differences between the old and new standards.
Educators should be mindful of the shifts as they guide student learning throughout the year.
A quick synopsis of each shift is outlined below. For more detail on the shifts, visit the Council of Chief State School Officers Common Core webpage. (http://www.ccsso.org/Resources/Publications/Common_Core_State_Standards_Implementation_Tools_and_Resources.html)
Math Shift #1: FOCUS
Teachers concentrate time and energy in the math classroom on key grade-level concepts. This focus is necessary so students can begin to develop strong foundational knowledge and deep conceptual understanding early on in their academic careers. This focus will enable students to transfer mathematical skills and understanding across concepts and grades later on.
Math Shift #2: COHERENCE
Learning is carefully connected within and across grade levels so students are building new understanding onto previously laid foundations. This shift will help students understand how math concepts are all connected and build upon one another, ensuring that students are comfortable taking on new concepts.
Math Shift #3: FLUENCY
Students acquire speed and accuracy with simple calculations through structured class time. Through mastering the predictable procedures of mathematics, students gain insights into the structure of math, and can apply appropriate procedures flexibly to solve problems correctly.
Math Shift #4: DEEP UNDERSTANDING
Students demonstrate a solid and thorough mastery of math concepts, smoothly operating within multiple concepts prior to moving on. Such deep conceptual understanding is critical for student success in later grades, and goes beyond isolated facts and methods, understanding why a concept is important and the context in which it is useful.
Math Shift #5: APPLICATION
Teachers provide opportunities for students to apply math in real-world situations at all grade levels. The process of modeling is key in improving decisions as well as linking classroom math to everyday situations. Modeling helps students choose and use appropriate math to understand situations.
Math Shift #6: DUAL INTENSITY
Students are intensely engaged in both authentic practice and extended application of math. Teachers create opportunities for students to make use of complex skills through extended application of math.
ELA Shift #1: BALANCE
Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts. This shift isn't about making sure students can read technical manuals; it's about building integrated knowledge across grade levels beginning in a student's early years.
ELA Shift #2: DISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE
Students build knowledge about the world and various content areas through text rather than the teacher. This shift aims to build students' background knowledge and vocabulary, so they're able to read and fully comprehend a rich variety of texts.
ELA Shift #3: STAIRCASE OF COMPLEXITY
Students closely read central, grade-appropriate texts around which instruction is centered. This shift ensures that students are constantly challenging themselves to improve reading levels, and provides them with the proper supports to do so.
ELA Shift #4: TEXT-BASED RESPONSE
Students engage in rich and thoughtful evidence-based conversations about text. Students will be able to use and interpret text; students will engage in thoughtful discussion that allows them to construct meaning from a text on their own.
ELA Shift #5: WRITING FROM SOURCES
Student writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument. This shift pushes teachers to move away from writing prompts without context, with the goal that students can work with a common body of text-based evidence more like what they might encounter in the workforce.
ELA Shift #6: ACADEMIC VOCABULARY
Students are constantly building the transferable vocabulary needed to process increasingly complex texts. Academic vocabulary increases reading comprehension and builds students' background knowledge, which means they'll be able to read increasingly complex texts. Teachers will strive to consciously use academic vocabulary in context during class discussions.
Remedial coursework available at no cost to students; webinar May 8
Online remedial coursework will be available at no cost to eligible high school seniors who complete the program during the 2013-14 school year timeframes.

School library survey closes this month
Last month, the South Dakota State Library opened the annual school library survey to collect data for the 2012-13 school year. Each district is asked to submit one survey per district. The survey will be available online through May 15. District superintendents should have been notified of survey access details via email.
The State Library is charged with collecting annual data from the state's school libraries (SDCL 14-1-44 (7) Execution of State Library Policy). In this time of educational and economic change, it is important that the most current and usable information is collected.
The State Library will compile survey data and report back to superintendents in the late fall of 2013 so that the data can inform the district's decision-making processes and school improvement planning. Previous data digests are available at http://www.library.sd.gov/SDSL/publications/index.aspx#Reports
Research results from across the nation show that effective school libraries result in higher student achievement – achievement that can be measured in improved reading scores. Effective school libraries have a program, a place, and a professional who collaborates with and supports all content areas in delivering curriculum and meeting Common Core State Standards.
For more information, please contact Mary G. Johnson or Joan Upell, School Library Coordinators at 1-800-423-6665.

My Princternship with Hanweck Associates gave me an interesting look at the intersection between technology and finance. I arrived at the office in lower Manhattan with my fellow Princetern, Eric, at about 8:15 am. Richard, one of the firm's quantitative analysts, greeted us and gave us an introduction to the firm's business and explained the technological focus of the firm as well as his own background and work at Hanweck. Soon after, we met our host Dr. Hanweck '87. He then introduced us to Mike who gave us our first project. The project involved spin-offs, which, as Mike explained, involve a larger company splitting off a part of its business into a smaller, stand-alone company. We were tasked with researching spin-offs in the last decade and finding out how many shares of the new company someone received per share of the larger company they owned. After working on this for a few hours, we took a quick break for lunch. After lunch Dr. Hanweck invited us into his office to talk about his career, financial derivatives, high-speed trading technology, and his perspective on the future of his business and the industry as a whole. It was the first time I heard all the economics terms I have learned in class like price discrimination, consumer surplus, and comparative advantage used in a real life situation so it was an intriguing link between my studies and the business world. Aside from that, it was incredible to hear the perspective of an alumnus and learn about his career path and how he believes a business can be successful. After this conversation, I returned to work on the spin-offs project until Mike provided us with another project. He gave us a quick lesson on using queries in Excel and set us up for a project to make a user-friendly format to look up historic equity prices and make graphs from database information. After experimenting with Excel for a while and getting a feel for the database, it was 6:00 pm and time to head home. I took a subway and a train and was home by 8:00, and I was ready to see what the next day had in store for me.
January 31, 2012
I began my second day at Hanweck Associates by working some more on the spin-offs project from the previous day. Afterwards, I returned to Excel and Microsoft Query and was able to set up a system in Excel where a user could plug in a stock ticker and immediately get data on the stock's equity id number, valid dates, and other information from the company's databases. Once Eric and I were comfortable with this, Mike provided us with objectives for some larger projects. He brought us into a conference room and gave us a lesson on options and their properties. Then he defined three projects for us to work on. One was to make an interface whereby a user could specify a stock ticker and a start and end date and see the stock information, the day-to-day closing price of the stock, and a graph plotting the equity price against time. The next was an option-contract table. It would allow the user to specify a certain equity-id number (associated with a stock) and a valid date and see all of the options associated with that equity id and valid date. The final project was to make a heat map based on the volatility indices of different options based on their "deltas" and time to expiration. I worked on the first two projects and learned a lot about how to manage databases. I also discovered trends in equity prices and option contracts as I tested the interfaces that I had created. After lunch, Eric and I spoke with Richard and learned about his current projects and the challenges of collecting, analyzing, and storing the incredible amounts of data that the firm collects in real time. I then returned to the projects I was working on and at the end of the day I had working systems in place for each. The projects taught me about the technological challenges in storing and retrieving large amounts of data. Before we left for the day, Dr. Hanweck spoke to us about a project for the next day that would allow us to compare dividend forecasts from two different companies the firm uses against the actual data to determine how close the predictions are. The day gave me some great hands on experience while learning more about financial derivatives and the markets in general.
My final day at Hanweck Associates was centered on the dividends project that Dr. Hanweck had described to us the previous day. I arrived at the office early and after reading the financial news of the day, Eric and I met with Andy, a quantitative analyst at the firm. He explained the specifics of the project and the challenges of "unclean data." It is often easy to assume that the data that we receive is well organized and accurate, but he explained that that is actually seldom the case. We were charged with looking at thousands of dividend payments and their respective payment dates along with the predictions for those dividend payments from two companies that the firm purchases forecast information from. Had the data been nice and clean, it would have been straightforward to write a simple program to calculate the forecast errors for each dividend for both of the companies' predictions and then determine which one was better overall. Unfortunately, inconsistency in the data made this very difficult. Instead, we had to put the data in a consistent format and account for the gaps so that the data could be better analyzed. Once this was done, it was possible to compare the forecasts for the different companies and see which ones fared better both overall and in certain areas. Our day concluded with a final recap discussion with Dr. Hanweck. We discussed our experience and what we learned as he shared more of his story on how he started his own company and where he hopes the company will be moving forward. It was a great conclusion to the Princeternship as we had the chance to reflect on our experience and learn more about the firm and its CEO as well as the industry as a whole after having the opportunity to work on some projects and listen to conversations among its employees in the time we were there.
I thank Dr. Hanweck for this opportunity as well as all those in the office who helped and guided me in the time I was there. This is an excellent Princeternship for students interested in technology and finance as there is a lot to be learned from a technical standpoint as well as from the experience of working in the financial capital of the world alongside a group of dedicated and talented individuals.

Blog post by Courtney Diekema '13, Taryn Kurcz '13 and Alicia Johnson '13
Halo, ciao, hola, bonjour! Today was a very multilingual day. It started off like every other day with a delicious breakfast with the team in our beautiful San Marino hotel...aka the Best Western.
Next, we had the bus ride to the majestic mountaintop capital of San Marino, the smallest and oldest independent republic in the world. Our charming local guide Lara gave us a detailed background on the country and the dismal escapades of its soccer team. We also learned that if you want to become president of a country, move to a country that has elections every six months and only 30 thousand inhabitants.
At the very top of the mountain sits the medieval castle which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys of Italy and offered us many great photo opportunities. After nearly exhausting our camera memory cards, we finished our tour and split up to explore the unbelievable city. The nine freshmen had a wonderful lunch on the mountaintop with a picturesque view as we tasted the culture of San Marino.
After a few more exciting escapades (not excluding getting lost) we congregated at the gate to the city and ran into a group of very enthusiastic Italian peers. Between Courtney's German, Taryn's Italian, Alicia's French, and AJ's Spanish, and their broken English we were able to have some interesting conversations. Unfortunately we had a bus to catch and our new found friendships were short lived. So we were back on the bus and headed to Rimini the Jersey Shore of Italy. Just kidding. It was actually a nice stop along the Adriatic coast to dip our toes into a new sea. The water was a bit cold for our more southernly folk but the east coasters were all over it.
We were back to the bus after a few more adventures and then back to the luxury palace for dinner. Looks like it's gonna be a nice night with the team in the hotel.
Ciao bella
Courtney, Taryn and AJ

Author Notes: During a visit to Le Pain Quotidien I ordered an unassuming bean salad. It was quite substantial, and the second the server placed it in front of me I pulled out my notebook to jot down the ingredients as I ate. It was simple but harmonious, and I couldn't help thinking that all that was missing from my early dinner was a large wooden porch overlooking the vineyards and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. So I recreate the experience all summer long and call it The Patio Salad, perfect for eating outdoors, ideally with a view. - cookingafterfive —nicolecooks
Food52 Review: This is wonderful! I never would have thought of adding croutons to a bean salad, but it's a great idea. The crunch from them along with the arugala and scallions is terrific. The pesto is a great addition and really ties everything together. This would make a great potluck dish by doubling the recipe. We just loved it. - Helen's All Night Dinner —The Editors
Serves: 4
For the beans
cup dried white beans
celery stalk
bay leaf
whole garlic cloves, peeled
For the salad
baget, cubed
bunch basil, about 2 cups
large garlic clove
extra-virgin olive oil
cups arugula
fresh lemon juice
Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
green onions, thinly sliced
Parmesan cheese
- Soak the beans overnight in a large bowl covered by at least 1 inch of water.
- A few hours before you want to eat, drain beans, then add them to a large pot and cover with two inches of cold water. Chop the carrot and celery into three pieces each and add to the pot, along with the garlic and bay leaf. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until done, anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.
- When checking for doneness, test several beans at once, and if they are all tender they're ready. Turn off the heat and add salt to taste. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then drain. (From here, beans can be left at room temperature if using for this meal, refrigerated, or frozen for another use.)
- Make the pesto: In a food processor, combine basil, garlic, salt and pepper and pulse to combine. Slowly stream in olive oil until pesto is emulsified and thin enough to toss with the beans and bread. (This can be done in advance. Pour the pesto into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing the plastic onto the surface of the pesto to help avoid discoloration. Store in the refrigerator until ready for use.)
- Heat a grill pan to medium-low. Add a generous amount of olive oil and toss bread to coat. Cook until crisp and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Dress the salad: Dress the arugula lightly with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and toss with your hands to combine.
- The finishing touches: In a large bowl, combine beans (you may have enough to reserve some for later use, depending on how many people you are serving), pesto, tomato, green onion and bread cubes. Toss to combine. Test for seasonings and add salt and pepper, if needed. Plate alongside a handful of arugula and a few slices of prosciutto. Garnish with shards of Parmesan cheese. Serve with a glass of your favorite white wine.

As you gain experience, that problem will fade out. Some places really demand respect, due to weather and turbulence, and you should consider that concern as a healthy response. You should not expect to be safe as close to a rugged mountain as you might be to a smooth sand dune - the air is very different between the two. For some places, I want 200 yards (meters) or more of open air between the mountain and me. I do not relax after launch until I am safely away from rugged terrain.
Also, oxygen can be an issue. Moving and flying at high altitudes can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and assorted mental issues. If you know your limits are about 10000 feet (930m) MSL, feel free to don the oxygen gear when near that limit, even when riding to launch or (especially) when setting up the glider. People who live at high altitudes may be okay there, but that may not be true for you, if you have been living at very low altitudes. A vague sense of dread or lack of confidence can be one sign of oxygen deficiency. It takes a few weeks or months to get a low-land pilot acclimated to the thin air of the high plains and higher mountains, but it will happen. Some sort of reasonable (gentle) exercise program can help, as will a healthy diet.
Hang tough. If you have concerns, it is healthy to discuss them here, or with experienced local pilots. We all share your dream.

When Steven LePage became the principal of Plainville High School, he did not believe in the idea of rising through the ranks to the position of superintendent, until now.
"I always thought that being a high school principal would be the end of the road for me, where I would want to stop my journey," LePage said.
But learning from Plainville Superintendent Jeffrey Kitching and other superintendents in the past, inspired LePage to consider the possibility of a new journey in the school system.
"Seeing Kitching move positive change forward while still maintaining strong relationships with community members and with kids was an inspiration to me," LePage said.
Principal LePage just began the UConn Executive Leadership Program, a 13-month program that requires participants to complete five three-credit courses that include an internship.
LePage is an intern for Dr. Erardi, the superintendent of Southington public schools. Between shadowing Dr. Erardi during administrative meetings and observing the superintendent's interactions with the community, LePage said he admires his mentor's ability to lead the school system.
"He is an extremely strong communicator [and] has an obvious commitment and passion for what he does," LePage said. "He is someone who also distributes credit and celebrates the people who get the job done."
Dr. Erardi said he feels privileged to be a mentor for Principal LePage.
"I wanted our district to be a professional learning community for adults too," Dr. Erardi said. "It is a two-way street with Principal LePage—I'm learning from him."
Superintendent Kitching said he remembers his own internship experience, which helped him develop a professional friendship with his mentor that continues to this day.
"The experience you get as an aspiring superintendent during your internship is critical," Kitching said. "Being paired with an experienced superintendent from another school district allows interns to see the position…from a different perspective."
LePage said he has seen the position from a global perspective through his internship experience. Out of all the lessons that Dr. Erardi has taught his intern so far, LePage hopes enhance his ability to "see the bigger picture" during administrative meetings after he completes the internship.
"Dr. Erardi has clear-cut objectives for his meetings and a strong coherence between the dsitrict's goals, his goals and everything that happens in those meetings," LePage said.
When LePage does not spend his time in Southington, he stays up until midnight reading books required for the program and writing internship blog entries. When not working on the program, LePage finishes work for the high school. On top of that, he finds time to tuck his children into bed and to work out at the gym.
"It's a juggling act," LePage said. "Every minute of my day is scheduled tightly."
Despite LePage's busy schedule, his passion for leading the school system never stops. Besides serving as a high school principal, LePage also serves as an advisor for three different clubs, including the ski club.
"I care about the kids," he said. "I treat them like they are my own."
Although LePage will receive his certification within a year, he wants to focus on his love for being the principal of the high school. LePage said he hopes to become a superintendent one day, but has not decided when to pursue the position.
"My goal for right now is to learn as a professional, to learn as a leader and to develop skills that I can apply in my current role as principal," he said. "Then in the future if the opportunity presents itself, then I'll have the certification and skills required to consider another possibility."

Sri Lanka batted out for a draw against Pakistan in the third and final test at the Pallekele Stadium on Thursday to win their first series in nine attempts since August 2009.
Dinesh Chandimal (65) and Kumar Sangakkara (74 not out) shared an 88-run second wicket partnership as Sri Lanka finished on 195-4 having been set a 270-run victory target earlier in the day by Pakistan, seeking a draw to level the three-match series.
It was Sri Lanka's first series victory for almost three years when they beat New Zealand. Since then they have drawn three series and lost five.
The defeat was Pakistan's first since England beat them 3-1 in August 2010 and captain Misbah-ul-Haq's first series loss since his appointment two months later.
Earlier, Asad Shafiq (100 not out) hit his second test hundred before Pakistan declared their second innings at 380 for eight wickets.
The visitors batted for 100 minutes on the fifth and final day, allowing Shafiq to get his century before their attempt to salvage something from the series.
Sri Lanka won the first test in Galle by 209 runs while the second test in Colombo was drawn.

DragonFly BSD 1.4 is the third major release of Matthew Dillon's fork of the FreeBSD operating system, and significant progress has been made towards reaching many of the project's numerous goals. New in this release include a more up to date version of the GNU Compiler Collection (required due to the incread use of thread local storage in DragonFly), an import of NetBSD's Citrus code (Comprehensive I18N Framework Towards Respectable Unix Systems), major reworking of all core subsystems in preparation for removing the MP lock, rewrites of various VFS related code and many updated drivers, frameworks and contributed programs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb University cross country teams had strong season-opening team showings at Friday night's Belmont Opener, which was run at Percy Warner Park on the Vaughn's Gap course. The women's squad put up a second-place finish, while the men turned in a respectable fourth against top competition.
The women's squads runner-up was paced by sophomore Dani Walker, who finished sixth with a 14:23.80s mark. She was the first runner across the line from a school other than Vanderbilt, who earned the first five positions.
Joining Walker in the top-10 for Lipscomb was sophomore Tessa Hoefle, who was 10th with a 14:31.17s run. Walker and Hoefle both set personal-bests in the four-kilometer race.
2010 All-Atlantic Sun honoree Ashley Lehman got her senior campaign off to a strong start, placing 14th after a 14:46.08s run.
A pair of freshmen rounded out the top five finishers for the Lady Bison, with Minna Fields (14:56.43s, 17th) and Maggie Lawrence (15:00.68s, 20th) placing highly in their first collegiate race.
Freshman Kendra Lobley (15:09.68s, 22nd) and sophomore Missy Dowd (15:15.11s, 26th) placed well for the Lady Bison in the season's first race.
As a squad, the Lady Bison were runner-up only to Vanderbilt, the third-ranked team in the South Region. The Lady Bison defeated SEC foe Kentucky, as well as host Belmont and fellow A-Sun squad Kennesaw State.
A trio of junior's led the way for the men's side, with Isaiah Greer (15:38.63s, sixth), Tim Muller (15:39.46s, seventh) and Ashton Fisher (15:47.61s, 10th) all earning top-10 marks for the fourth-place finishers.
Junior and 2010 all-conference honoree Geoff Musick finished 34th in the 2011 opener, with a 16:28.30s in the five-kilometer run.
A freshman rounded out the scoring for the Bison, with Ryan Gadsey turning in a 16:29.84s for his 38th-place spot.
Just 31 points separated Lipscomb (93) from Kentucky (62), with the Wildcats taking home the win. In between were host Belmont (78 points) and Tennessee (84). The men's squad did defeat Vanderbilt, as well as A-Sun rival Kennesaw State.
The cross country teams have a week of training before them prior to next weekend's Chattanooga Powerade Invitational, on the Moccasin Bend course. The meet begins Friday at 5:45 p.m. (ET).
