KILGORE, TEXAS—Nearly 100 representatives from East Texas school districts, charter schools, community colleges, workforce organizations, and businesses attended the Business and Education Partnership Forum held at the Region 7 Education Service Center (ESC) on Thursday to discuss collaborative efforts in ensuring successful implementation of the new House Bill 5 (HB 5) graduation requirements.
HB 5, which was passed in the 83rd Texas legislative session, offers high school students more flexible graduation pathways, a greater focus in Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses, changes to state assessments, and opportunities for community and student engagement.
Hudson ISD Superintendent Mary Ann Whiteker, who was one of several presenters at the forum, provided the group with an overview of HB 5 and the importance of involving the business and workforce development perspectives in the educational process.
"Somewhere along the way in education, we lost sight of what the end product should be, and HB 5 is helping us get back on track," Whiteker said. "Through HB 5, we have the flexibility to work with our communities to determine what they value as quality in their schools. We need to be working together for all students."
The flexibility HB 5 provides for students largely comes in the way of five endorsements, or graduation pathways, which include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), Business and Industry, Public Services, Arts and Humanities, and Multidisciplinary. Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, students entering the ninth grade will be required to indicate in writing which of the five endorsements the student intends to earn, which leads to the strong need for collaboration among schools, higher education institutions, businesses and the workforce.
"Data collected from our colleges and business leaders in Angelina County show that students lack skills they need to be successful both in college and in the workforce," said Whiteker. "HB 5 is a window of opportunity for our students, but educators cannot do this alone. We have to create what works for all of us—schools, workforce, businesses, higher education, and most of all, our students."
Robin Painovich, Career and Technology Association of Texas (CTAT) Executive Director, agreed with Whiteker during her presentation at the forum.
"There are so many more opportunities with HB 5, and now the real work begins," she said. "We are moving away from one-size-fits-all to multiple pathways because one-size-fits-all doesn't work for our employers. Our employers are specialized and need workers with specific skills and knowledge."
Prior to HB 5, CTE courses weren't required for graduation, and now students are required to obtain coherent sequence courses for four or more credits in CTE to graduate with the STEM, Business and Industry or Public Services endorsement.
Painovich encouraged educators to study and use labor market information available through the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to drive the CTE programs within their counties and region.
"Skills trump titles," Painovich said in reference to resumes being reviewed by industry employers. "Employers have resume readers that pick up key words from skills and match them to available job opportunities. Schools can use the labor market information from their region as the foundation for their CTE programs so that the skills employers are looking for are present on a graduate's resume. Additionally, defined skill sets are essential for delivering curriculum in units smaller than a semester."
Although districts are able to define the coherent sequence courses and the advanced courses within an endorsement, which at least one advanced CTE course is required for the STEM, Business and Industry and Public Services endorsements, Painovich said it will be challenging for districts to develop local courses with higher education institutions.
"Local courses are being developed for students with a variety of skill sets and aptitude levels, so it will be difficult to create courses that apply to these students of varying capabilities," she said. "Shared service arrangements among districts and the ability to earn credits from colleges outside of the district's service area will help provide more opportunities, which is why businesses and educators need to work together."
Several area businesses such as Eastman Chemical Company in Longview have already established partnerships with schools and districts. Eastman's Manager of TXO Learning Services, Pete Lemothe, also presented at the forum and said that Eastman has partnerships with about 15 high schools in the area.
"We want to home grow our own workforce, and at Eastman, we believe we have enough potential in East Texas for a viable workforce," said Lemothe. "We want to create awareness about our industry, our company and our job opportunities as early as possible, and partnering with districts and schools is helping us do that."
As part of the company's partnership with the high schools, Eastman awards a full one-year college scholarship to one senior from each partnering high school each year. Students are required to apply for the scholarship, and Lemothe said the high school partnership teams make a big deal out of the application process.
"Students have to apply and include their resume, so our high school partnership teams will work with them on resume writing," he said. "Scholarship applicants are also interviewed as part of the application process, so our teams will also work with students on interviewing skills. We try to funnel the students that work with us into colleges in our area who then have the opportunity to come back and work for Eastman as college students and even full-time once they complete their studies."
Lemothe said Eastman is willing to provide resources to help educate students about career opportunities and even have educators tour the company site to learn more about Eastman and about viable jobs in manufacturing.
"We will do what we can to help make HB 5 work and create a viable workforce in East Texas that wants to stay in East Texas," said Lemothe.
Since the adoption of the bill, Region 7 ESC staff has been collaborating with the 96 districts and 10 charter schools in the Region 7 area, as well as with area college, business and workforce development representatives, to offer workshops and informational sessions on the changes schools, families and communities will face as a result of HB 5.
Adrian Knight, Region 7 ESC Federal Programs Specialist, has been coordinating the forum since last fall with a committee consisting of representatives from the Kilgore Economic Development Corporation, the Longview Economic Development Corporation, the Tyler Business and Education Council, the Workforce Solutions East Texas and other workforce agency contacts.
"We realized that schools need help from businesses and businesses want to help schools, but schools don't know how to ask for help and businesses don't know how to help," Knight said. "So we wanted to get the conversation started by holding this forum, and we think it is a great start for our schools and communities. The committee representatives offered some great perspective on how to put this event on and who the presenters should be, and we are very appreciative for their work on this. We are also thankful to both the Kilgore and Longview Economic Development Corporations for providing lunch for our guests."
After the presentations and lunch, forum attendees had the opportunity to discuss specific business and industry employment needs that addressed training requirements, workforce skillset requirements, hands-on skills that would benefit students in preparing for the workforce, workforce academic learning standards, work-linked learning opportunities that could be offered to students and/or staff, and partnership opportunities. Knight said he and the committee are looking forward to reviewing the information provided by the attendees.
"Hopefully we will get more information about what types of skills are needed and whether or not we need to formulate trainings for secondary teachers to teach those skills and other needs that colleges and industries are expressing are needed from students," he said. "We are also going to look at what other collaborative opportunities we need to provide for educators and the community."
Along with the forum presenters, Knight said he would encourage businesses to reach out to schools and to get involved and vice versa for schools.
"This is about providing more opportunities for more kids," he said. "It's about opening up doors for students to have more options after they leave high school, and schools, businesses, higher education and the workforce alike need to be engaged in the process."
Businesses interested in partnering with schools in the Region 7 area or that want to know more about HB 5 can contact Knight at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ken Lamartiniere at email@example.com.

Well, even though this title comes from a South Korean developer and comes on both PS3 and PC, Sony's home console is not the main development platform. In a shocking turn of events, Kingdom Under Fire 2′s main development platform is the PC, and the PS3 version is being ported from it (with some adjustments to its UI)."
I expect plenty of cross play between PC and PS3/PS4 software
"However, it seems that the X360 version got cancelled as Bluside did not comment"
Probably for the same reason Dust 514 on the 360 got cancelled. Microsoft isn't very fond of opening up too much its online service to third parties. That's probably what these developers wanted.
I was looking for this game since the first day they Announce it .. really can't wait to put my hands on it and i hope its B2P or F2P .
The game looks stunning I'm rather excited, the x-play feature will be great this is the main feature that will keep Sony strong for years and Microsoft really need to let the dog off of the lead now and then, they are holding back developers by being so apple about stuff

Top law school chances for an engineer
June 10, 2013, 07:16:01 PM »
Hey all. I was looking to see what everyones thoughts were on my chances at a top law school. Quick background on myself:
Im an electrical engineering student from a no-name state university.
Ive got a 3.69 GPA, which has been on a steady upward swing so Im hoping for a 3.75ish GPA by the time Im done.
Ive spent the past few semesters interning with an oil company, and will have 3 or 4 semesters of experience by the time Im finished. Ive also been in a social fraternity for three years and a resident advisor for two years.
Havent taken the LSAT yet, but Im planning to put in a lot of work into it and Im good test taker, so Im hoping for a score in the vicinity of 170 (But really who isnt?).
Im scheduled to graduate in December 2014, but may push it back to May with a business minor.
Assuming I finish out my career with a 3.7-3.75 GPA and 168-170 on the LSAT, am I competitive for a top law school? Being realistic, Im setting my sights on the schools hovering around the bottom half of the top 20. Particularly Im looking at Michigan, Duke, Berkeley, Cornell, Texas, UCLA, ect.
As a little more information about myself, I'm still in the process of deciding whether I want to apply to law school or not. I'm also considering applying for a doctorate program in engineering or I may just go right to work as an engineer after undergrad. If anyone could recommend any good blogs or books about law school, admissions, the legal profession, ect, I would appreciate it!

I think you are making the common mistake of putting the carriage in front of the horse. If you have a 3.75 and a 170 LSAT can you get into a top law school? I would bet substantial sums of money the answer would be yes, but until you take the LSAT you have no idea what your options are.
Instead of worrying about what schools you might be accepted to before getting an LSAT score focus your attention on taking the LSAT and doing as well as possible. Once you know your score you will know what your options realistically are, but until you have an LSAT score it is a waste of time to consider if you can get into a Top Law school.
I will also add that getting a 168-170 puts in the top 10% of test takers and people that actually show up for the LSAT are college educated individuals that are focused enough to want to go to law school and did not chicken out and cancel your score and I would guess people that show up for the LSAT are in the upper echelon of intelligence to begin with so finishing in the top 10% of that pool is unlikely and 90% of people don't finish in the top 10%.
This will also be true when you attend law school I know on my first day 100% of students were convinced they would be in the top 10% of the class. Almost everyone in my class was smart, hard-working, and motivated, but 90% of my class did not finish in the top 10% and half of my class finished in the bottom half of the class, but many still went on to have successful careers.
I personally also think rankings and other things are destroying law schools and students. The reality is that at any ABA school you will learn the exact same thing and once you graduate and pass the bar your a lawyer whether you attended Harvard or Cooley.
With all that said I hope you get a 180 on the LSAT, but I won't be betting on that happening. Good luck and please focus on the LSAT and don't worry about schools until you have a score.
Maintain FL 350

I agree with livinglegend, until you have an actual LSAT score this is all pure speculation. It's easy to underestimate the difficulty of the LSAT, and you can't assume that you'll score in the top 5%.
That said, if you pull off a high score you have a good shot at many well respected schools. Your GPA is solid, but things like grade trend and major will be accorded little weight by most schools. Law school admissions is primarily a numbers game, and once you have an LSAT score it will be fairly easy to calculate your chances at most schools.

I think I would contact Ramsey and see what the resistor selection limitations are, unless you have a schematic and can determine it from the design. Sure enough, if you set it for 10 watts you are going to, some day, put 50 or 100 watts through it in error and I'm assuming if you kill the remote switching it defaults to receive and therefore doesn't switch the preamp out resulting in a trip up the tower to fix 2 things. If you set it for 100 watts, you will someday want to run less and again it won't key. Same trip up the tower. Hard wiring, as has been suggested, is your safest choice. As the switch has the relay in it, maybe Ramsey can tell you where to tap in to directly switch the sensor.

Software maker Microsoft asked search engine operator Yahoo to re-enter formal negotiations for an acquisition that could be worth USD 50 billion, the New York Post reported on Friday. Microsoft is feeling increasing pressure to compete with Google, which plans to beef up its portfolio with a USD 3.1 billion buy of online advertising company DoubleClick. Earlier this week, Yahoo said it would buy 80 percent of advertising exchange Right Media for USD 680 million, increasing its stake in that company to full control. Microsoft currently trails both Yahoo and Google in the lucrative and growing business of Web search. Update:. The deal's off.

About captain hindsight
providing clarification on what should have been done since 1974!
what the police should have done is arrested everyone in sight on the theory that any/all of them could be accomplices. so, no one on street, no cams, no problem.
what the guy filming should have done is get one of those neat new cameras that look like a hands free headsets and go james bond on their asses. no telling what they'll do/say if they don't know it's recorded.
what the da should have done is immediately drop the charges when they realized what asses they looked like, and further, send the arresting officers to some kind of training where they learn about media relations and so that...
let me work on that last one some more and get back to you.
what the state should have done is require mandatory chemical castration for all teachers (men and women) as a job requirement. this could have been easily sold to the public by pointing out that it is all about catching child predators.
what the schools should have done is set up web sites open to the parents, teachers, school, and students in order to allow the exchange of information in an open forum and required everyone to use it, on penalty of chemical castration
what the students should have done is claim every teacher in the building has molested them on multiple occasions. no particular reason, just for lulz.
what the fans should have done, is use an anonymous vpn service to hide their despicable theft of summits' intellectual property.
summit should have sent pay-up or else letters, both to generate revenue, and to spread the word far and wide that fans WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

'Ormea' - Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb
Flower Description: Named for a small town nestled in the San Bartolomeo/Prale Pass in Northern Italy, 'Ormea' will simply glisten in your garden. In cooler years, a seductive hint of pink blush graces the petals. Very nice light, lingering fragrance. 3 to 4 Feet. Mid/Late July Flowering.
Bulb Size - Our standard for bulbs of this Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb cultivar ranges from Premium-size» (16/18 cm) to Exhibition-size» (over 20 cm). Click here for details.
Classification: Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb (USDA Zones 5-9, the colder climates of this range must provide winter mulching.)
Stock # 9036 - 'Ormea' - Orienpet Hybrid Lily
Plant Lily Bulbs Immediately upon Receipt
Lily bulbs are never completely dormant and need to be planted as soon as possible. You can delay planting for 2-3 weeks by keeping the bulbs in a cool, not frozen (34-40° F.), area of a garage, basement or refrigerator, but longer and you risk bulb damage. You must open the shipping box to check your order and then re-close any plastic bags before short term storage. Our packing material protects your bulbs and absorbs excessive moisture, but if large water droplets form within the plastic bag, poke more "air" holes in the sides of the poly bag, being careful to not damage your sleeping bulbs. Lily bulbs are happiest in the garden where they can begin growing new roots immediately.
Choose an area with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Waterlogged soils, with poor drainage or too much "organics" in the soil mean certain death to lily bulbs. A sloping site with natural drainage is best. When planting in heavy clay, try mixing Perlite (the white crunchy stuff found in commercial potting soil – not Vermiculite that holds moisture) or sand with the native soil to create raised beds 8 to 10 inches above ground level, or make raised beds of garden-safe, treated wood. If bothered by moles, mice or gophers nail 1/4-inch galvanized hardware cloth on the bottom of the framework before you back fill with good soil. Sandy loam soils rich in humus with a pH of 5.5-6.5 are ideal.
Lilies look most natural planted in triangular groups of three, spaced 12"-18" apart. Provide at least 6 hours of sun, dappled shade in very warm regions for Orientals. Cover bulbs with fluffy soil and mulch to control weeds and maintain even ground moisture. Plant bulbs 2"- 4" deeper in areas where daily temperatures average over 90 degrees F. and the soil is sandy. Do not plant among aggressive ground covers or where large trees or shrubs will rob nutrients or moisture. Lily bulbs need regular fertilizer, water, and cultivation. They do NOT "naturalize" like Daffodils or Tulips, which have a hard outer shell. Be sure to mulch bulbs in cold climates if a good winter snow cover is not expected. Likewise, in more temperate areas, cold saturated soil will rot lily bulbs some years, so a raised area and fast-draining soil is recommended. Click to leave this page and go to More Information
Find your USDA Hardiness Zone
The chart published by the USDA and complete interactive searching can be found on the website for the US National Arboretum. When researching your location, bear in mind that the map lines are not absolute and each garden has its own unique micro-climate. Neighborhoods with more trees blocking the wind, hills that "drain" away moisture faster, concrete bulkheads, sidewalks and driveways that tend to collect heat, as well as southern exposures will allow you to grow plants that might not be recommended for your area. The general guidelines are based on average low temperatures are found below. To open a new browser window access the interactive map click USDA Zone Chart
Asiatics (Graffity, Tigerplay, etc.) grow best in zones 1 to 9, no winter mulch is needed and they prefer colder winters to reset bloom.
Purebred Orientals (Casablanca, Star Gazer, etc.), without mulch, zones 6 to 9, but if heavily mulched for winter or with a good snowfall, down to zone 3 or 4 easily.
Purebred Trumpets (Copper King, Pink Perfection, etc.), without mulch, zones 7 to 10; heavily mulched, down to zone 3 or 4, but can be subject to late freeze damage in May, cover emerging stems if temperatures below 30 degrees F. are expected.
Oriental-Trumpet Hybrids (Conca 'dOr, Sweetheart, etc.), same as Purebred Orientals, but seem to be more resistant to late frost damage, plus because of the "trumpet" genes, they do not require as much winter chill as Oriental lilies, thus are very suitable for southern areas and will take higher heat in summer. (See our Heatbuster™ Collection for more information.)

Ro-busters: TF2's New Co-Op Horde Mode Unveiled
Here we go! After years of speculation, Valve have finally taken the wraps off a recently-hinted new mode and third faction for their game of ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatboomdead.
'Mann vs Machine' brings a co-op horde mode to Team Fortress 2, as five players battle legions of robots shaped in the image of TF2's familiar classes. They are the Gray Horde, and they're there for you to kill in incredible numbers. "Band together to survive all of the robot waves in a variety of missions to earn incredible loot and unlock new achievements," it says here. And you get to do that from August 15th. That being tomorrow. Here's a trailer for the new mode. It is a good trailer. It has good music. It has a Heavy with a head of steel. It has the suggestion of an enormous foe. It has me thinking "this is probably a very smart way to get people (back) into the game who've been put off by the all-knowing frenzy of the devout playerbase." It also has me thinking "AI officially in TF2? Someone's going to do fascinating things with that, eh?"
A few more details and things to click on may be found here, and a breakdown of the robo-foes you'll battle here. Giants! Also, something bigger than giants! Here's a new map to ogle for you too. Oh yes, and there's a second part of the utterly batshit Gray comic here. You may notice that the site also claims we'll see 'Day 2 – Mercs' and 'Day 3- Bounty' in terms of info-fact-data-knowledge on MvM, so stay tuned I guess.
As of tomorrow, TF2 becomes a game about playing with friends rather than predominantly about killing friends. I guess the question is how fully-fledged this turns out to be – will it be a long-term game in its own right, or a fancy-pants training ground for the multiplayer main event? Most importantly, I guess, what manner of snazzy robotic hats will from yonder window break?

records that sound just as good/better at the wrong speed
just played Oblivion Hunter by Lightning Bolt for the first time since receiving it as a Christmas present. I'm useless with remembering what speed to play records and I thought most 12" records play at 45rpm. Anyway, it sounds blisteringly awesome at 45rpm, even though it's intended to be played at 33rpm.
Any others?
Ace of Spades sounds great slower
So does The Trooper by Iron Maiden
Quite like playing all of Margin Walker at 33rpm instead of 45.
The first time I played Frigid Stars by Codeine I had it at 45rpm and it sounded just like regular indie rock!
i've got smile by lily allen on 7 inch
i played it at a clubnight on 33 by accident and it sounded mint
I bought a Catherine Wheel 12" single for "She's My Friend" for 50p a while ago
and accidentally played at 33. It was great, all swirly, dirgy shoegazy mess but with more low end and the vocals sounded really druggy and slurred. Then I realised, bumped it up to 45, and really didn't like it.
- pichaelmarker this'd this
I'v found that
Most really really great songs sound good at both speeds.
A classic example is Windowlicker
Obviously if the song is vocal led doesn't always work!
Never heard this before
completely amazing
The video on that channel of the same thing with Ego by Burial, Four Tet, and Thom Yorke is pretty great as well
this is really good!
I might have to start trying this out with more records.
I have heard the Melvins sound good at 45
Seeing as their records (well their older ones anyway) are generally over £50 on ebay, I have never had the pleasure.
In uni my flatmate bought a secondhand single of the theme song to the flop 80s movie Doctor Detroit by Devo.
We listened to it loads, it was amazing. Then we realised it was meant to be played at 45rpm, not 33rpm. At normal speed it's a bit meh.
i had a very short lived tumblr with some on
my personal favourite
it's best when you take someone who already has a 'rich' voice and slow it down.
great idea for a blog
definitely works better sans the vocals though. Owner Of A Lonely Heart intro sounds beastly!
Owner Of A Lonely Heart intro
Sounds like the theme music for a bad guy wrestler.mug_mug_mug this'd this
aye it is better without the vocals most of the time
my favourite bit of Slowner Of A Lonely Heart is the slowed down synth orchetral flourish thing.
I would urge you all to listen to RUIN by Elite Gymnastics
It's a massively underrated gem from last year.
The first half is an odd mix of Flaming Lips, drum'n'bass and better chillwave (Washed Out/Boy Friend/Sleep?Over, idk)
The second half is the same tracks as the first, but kind of chopped and screwed.
It's a really simple concept that works far, far better than it has any right to.
Inertiatic (sp?) by Mars Volta.
Didn't realise the first couple of times I played it it was at the wrong speed; tried it at the right speed then decided I preferred it the first way I'd been listening to it.
My housemate had an ep by a techno outfit called Hydro
Just tried to find it online but I can't - anyway at 45rpm it was bobbins. At 33rpm and then slowed done some more on his decks it sounded amazing!
I once played my dad's copy of Sign 'o' the Times
If any of you have it, it is the funkiest most awesome thing slowed down.
Neil Young - Cortez the Killer
played at 45rpm is bloody amazing, though Neil sounds slightly more chipmunky than usual.
I've been waiting for this question for 40 years
Back in the early '70s Paul Greiner, known as a tastemaker radio DJ in Detroit, played McCartney's "Oh Woman Oh Why" at 33. Probably played an lp on the turntable just before & never switched speeds. Anyway, he played it all the way like that, never said a thing, & I've played it like that whenever the situation arose.
I genuinely like this
'Everytime' by Britney Spears, backwards
ignore the lyrics someone has attached to the video
I can't listen to it at real speed anymore, it's just disappointing.
66 and Fading by OMD
I always used to play this at 33 and it sounds lovely and dirge like. I never realised it was Silent Running already slowed down
I remember one of my friends playing a trad jazz 78 at 33rpm
It sounded really doomy and awesome.
Destiny's Child - Say My Name (Cyril Hahn)
Not slowed down, technically... but the effect is placed on the vocals. So good.
Rush - Workin' Man slowed down (thanks ILX!) becomes a doom-rock juggernautOissin_ this'd this
MAJOR ONE I forgot
The Osmonds rhythm section sounds as lumbering as the Black Sabbath one slowed down
The Jurassic Park theme slowed down by 1,000% is just beautifulThierryEnnui this'd this
drum n bass was invented when
innerzone orchestra bug in the bassbin got played at 45rpm, supposedly. sounds better than the correct slow version.

Iris Weinshall
Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning, Construction, and Management
Iris Weinshall was appointed Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning, Construction, and Management at The City University of New York in April 2007, after having served the City of New York City for more than 25 years, most recently as Commissioner of Transportation.
An alumna of Brooklyn College, Ms. Weinshall returns to CUNY where she has responsibility for the University's award-winning design and planning initiatives and a five-year capital construction budget of more than $3 billion for 23 colleges and University professional schools. Ms. Weinshall joins CUNY during a system-wide renaissance on its campuses fueled by state, city, and - increasingly - private philanthropic resources, characterized by bold new interpretations of the "urban campus" ideal by some of the world's best architects.
As CUNY Vice Chancellor, Ms. Weinshall is responsible for physical plant maintenance and operations, facilities planning, and capital programs; planning, negotiating, and implementing capital construction and rehabilitation programs in consultation with a broad range of constituencies including the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and the City University Construction Fund; and monitoring and providing technical assistance and support to the campuses for the operation and utilization of the 26-million-square-foot, 300-building CUNY plant.
Appointed Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) in September 2000, Ms. Weinshall supervised a $5 billion capital program that included the construction of the widely-praised Whitehall Ferry Terminal in lower Manhattan and the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island. Under her leadership, the DOT consolidated its offices at 55 Water Street in lower Manhattan and launched a major program to rehabilitate and maintain the city's huge network of bridges and roadways, including the nearly $3 billion rehabilitation of the city's East River Bridges. Ms. Weinshall implemented programs to improve traffic flow and upgrade the city's infrastructure, while making the city's streets and sidewalks safer for millions of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
Ms. Weinshall was appointed Special Transportation Advisor to Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2003, with responsibility for shaping the city's transportation strategy. Mayor Bloomberg also named her to the Taxi and Limousine Commission. During Commissioner Weinshall's tenure, pedestrian fatalities in New York fell to their lowest level since 1910. The THRU Streets Program, implemented in 2003 by Commissioner Weinshall and Mayor Bloomberg to enhance traffic flow in Midtown Manhattan, has reduced cross-town travel times by 25% and increased vehicle speeds by 33%. In addition, DOT filled a record 260,000 potholes in 2005 and was able to respond to pothole complaints reported to the city's 311 line in four days, on average.
Ms. Weinshall graduated cum laude from Brooklyn College, and earned her Master's Degree in Public Administration from New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. In 2000, she was named Alumna of the Year by the Brooklyn College Alumni Association, the group's highest honor, in recognition of her commitment to the betterment of the community through her many professional and civic achievements.
A lifelong resident of Brooklyn, she has two daughters and is married to U.S. Senator Charles Schumer.

Advertising intelligence gives a clearer picture
With more than 100 million registered users and 45 million unique visitors per month, Photobucket is one of the most-visited Web properties. The world's leading dedicated photo- and video-sharing service, Photobucket takes pride in offering its advertising partners creative solutions that reach an engaged audience. Success depends on knowing its inventory availability in order to package and sell audience effectively.
That's why Photobucket – a website for storing, editing and sharing photos and videos – uses SAS® Intelligent Advertising for Publishers.
"Having business intelligence, sales performance management, forecasting and delivery insights together in one easy-to-use system has significantly improved our ability to manage and maximize the value of our inventory," says Darren Kelly, Chief Revenue Officer at Photobucket.
With SAS, Photobucket manages interactions with advertisers, sales performance and yield. The comprehensive advertising platform addresses usability and visibility challenges while helping Photobucket deliver ads to a global audience.
An implementation manager walked Photobucket through each step of the migration process. After agreeing on an implementation schedule and a "go live" date, the team created a taxonomy specific to Photobucket and trained users on proper ad tagging. After setup came data loading and quality-assurance testing.
During QA, the solution team found an anomaly that skewed data accuracy. Photobucket often reserved campaigns without creative, which was not accounted for in the forecast simulation. Rather than ask Photobucket to adjust established practices, the solution team adjusted the system to fit Photobucket's unique model to ensure complete accuracy.
The "support, attention to detail and willingness to adjust their system rather than trying to change the way we do business made us more comfortable and confident throughout our implementation and migration process," Kelly says. "Best of all, we didn't drop any impressions or lose any revenue during our migration."
With SAS, Photobucket has a complete revenue-focused view of its available inventory. The platform allows for quick and detailed analysis into the best use of products and packages, as well as sales performance.
Consolidated data management and simulation-based forecasting help Photobucket see how visitors actually consume frequency capping, companion ads and sponsorship campaigns. Photobucket can also proactively spot availability by product, placement and/or revenue, including insight into who has bought the inventory before.
Because the solution has a single underlying data structure to capture and understand sales channels, rate cards and the products being sold, Photobucket can easily monitor sales performance and maximize the value of their audience and content.
With SAS, says Jay Wilson, Photobucket's Director of Ad Operations, "we have a more holistic ad-serving platform that improves forecasting accuracy and provides the easily accessible and actionable information we need to maximize our online inventory."

inspired99 needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 247 designs submitted by 45 freelance designers.
Not decided, but see the Requirements section
We are building a notebook product that enables to you store, organize and share your notes and other data. Existing products that compete in this space are Microsoft OneNote (http://www.onenote.com), Evernote (http://www.evernote.com), and Mind Manager (http://www.mindmanager.com).
The product combines features found across multiple existing applications and is extensible. It also incorporates a learning and periodic review system to ensure you remember the material you need.
Information workers
We need a gorgeous 16x16 icon. Other sizes are required as well, but the most important size on Windows is 16x16.
We are NOT interested in designs with 3D, gloss, shine, candy or toylike designs.
A flat design with an etched or engraved look such as machined metal might work.
The ideal icon will represent some of these: note-taking, self-learning, review, memorization, data availability, ease of organization, dependability. Obviously, one icon cannot represent all of these simultaneously. But these are the most important.
Please don't just combine images representing some of the above - we're looking for a single icon that communicates some of these attributes by color, shape, and content.
We haven't decided on a brand name yet, but consider some of these themes: a study (room), a study desk and chair, a studio, mental gym, journal, notebook, personal classroom, a student writing, a mind map (if you know what this is.)
These are just examples, please don't take them too literally.
Nothing garish please - we need an icon that users will be comfortable with looking at for years.
Please ensure your icon looks gorgeous at 16x16. This may require hand tuning each pixel.
We need the icon in multiple formats:
.ico file for Windows: 16x16, 32x32.
.png file for Mac and iPhone: 512x512 and lower resolutions
A Photoshop file
Hand tuned to look good in color in Windows, and Grayscale on Mac
The icon should have a well defined boundary or have the correct alpha transparency set that it works well with any background. This is important if your design contains shadows or antialiased edges.
The icon should be perfectly square with no rounded edges, border or shine.
Let your imagination run free. If you need more constraints, let us know.
Please add a line or two explaining your design. We understand that icons should be self-explanatory, however sometimes a brief statement helps us better appreciate your effort.

10 Getaways Under $75 a Night
Whether sharing a flat with a friendly German couple or staying in an entire home in Washington DC, keeping your price range low can offer some rewarding results. A getaway doesn't have to break the bank!
Yesterday's post 10 Getaways Under $200 a Night became very popular. Everyone wants to know how they can travel on the cheap. A lot of readers were asking for a list of even cheaper accommodations. The glory of Airbnb is the ability to customize your stay. If you enjoy getting insider tips while sharing a home with others, you can opt for a shared room or even a private room in a shared home. If you prefer a more private experience you can choose to stay in an entire home by yourself.
Once you get into a lower price range, you begin to lose a bit of freedom. Most likely you will be staying in a private room inside someone's home. A lot of people enjoy traveling this way. Staying in a home with the "locals" can be a rewarding experience. They'll give insight on their city that a travel book or even concierge can't tell you.

Look! Windows Reused in the Garden
I've personally replaced about half the windows in my home with new ones (See How to Install a Sash Replacement Window) but haven't yet thrown away the old ones. What to do with old windows? Use them in the garden!
I spotted these windows and doors in my neighborhood while on a walk. Some windows are being used for starting seeds, others as the tops for a mini greenhouse, and one old screen door as an entry way into a simple gated garden. I've been tempted to put mine to use but haven't yet had the need.
Have you been able to put old windows to use in your home or yard?
