The purpose of the State Compensatory Education (SCE) program is to supplement the regular – or basic – education program with compensatory, intensive, and/or accelerated instruction. The program requires Texas public school districts and charter schools to offer additional accelerated instruction to each student who meets one or more statutory or locally-defined eligibility criteria in order to reduce any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under Subchapter B, Chapter 39 TEC, or disparity in the rates of high school completion between students at risk of dropping out of school and all other LEA students.
Statutes and correspondence related to the SCE program are listed below.
Texas Education Code §28.0217 relates to satisfactory performance on state assessment instruments and providing accelerated instruction to certain students.Texas Education Code §29.081 defines the purpose of the program and the statutory criteria for determining whether a student is at risk of dropping out of high school.Texas Education Code §29.089 allows school districts and charter schools to fund mentoring programs with state compensatory education funds.Texas Education Code §42.152 provides the method for TEA to calculate school district and charter school allotments.2015–2016 State Compensatory Education Funding and Implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision (To the Administrator Addressed Letter dated April 4, 2014)Student Success Initiative and Accelerated Instruction (To the Administrator Addressed Letter dated April 9, 2014)Texas Administrative Code Title 19, Part 2, Rule §61.1027 related to the eligible student count for the compensatory education allotment.Texas Administrative Code Title 19, Part 2, Rule §105.11 related to maximum allowable indirect cost.
School districts and charter schools with an annual state compensatory allotment of $500,000 or greater must submit district and campus improvement plans to TEA on or before the date that falls 150 days after the final PEIMS midyear resubmission date.
Expenditures of state compensatory education funds must: 1) support the intent and purpose of the program, 2) be allowable under statute and guidance, and 3) be directly related to specific interventions identified in the appropriate district and campus improvement plans.
District and campus improvement plans must be reviewed and revised annually. Requirements for plans, including who should be included in the planning process, are found in TEC §11.251 for district-level planning and in TEC §11.253 for campus-level planning.
Plans for the 2016-2017 school year must be
submitted through the AUDIT application in the TEA Login (TEAL) system on or before Monday, July 9, 2018. Please see the FASRG, Module 9, Pages 6-7 for specific instructions on the number and types of plans to submit.

House Bill 5 passed in 2013, the number of State of Texas Assessments
of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) end-of-course exams that high school
students are required to pass in order to graduate was reduced to five.
Students who failed an assessment that is no longer required should have
been removed from at risk status by the end of school year 2013-2014.
Prior to removing any student from services, the district should
determine whether that student meets any other criteria under Texas Education Code §29.081(d) or any local eligibility criteria adopted by the board of trustees in accordance with Texas Education Code §29.081(g).

I'm so happy right now. Mr. T not only joined Twitter a few weeks ago, but he now has his own YouTube series called, "Ask Mr. T", in which he answers simple questions from everyday Average Joes like you and your neighbor. All you have to do to ask the man who played Clubber Lang and B.A. Baracus a question is download his app to your smart phone.
I don't know if it costs money or not, because I didn't check. I suppose I could have done that, but I didn't feel like it and I was busy playing the new levels of Angry Birds Star Wars. Either way, I have some questions for Mr. T, including:
- Will Kate Upton ever love me?
- Why have none of my slip and fall lawsuits against Winn Dixie been successful?
- Can I borrow $10?
And that's it. Let's see if he answers any of those questions in the first installment of "Ask Mr. T".

Vatican to Publish Document on Condom Use to Prevent HIV/AIDS, Official Says; Retired Cardinal Calls Condom Use "Lesser Evil"
April 24, 2006
Pope Benedict XVI has asked the Pontifical Council for Health Pastoral Care and other scientists and theologians to study condom use as a means of HIV prevention, and the Vatican will release a document on the subject soon, Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, head of the council, said in an interview published on Sunday in Rome's La Repubblica, Reuters reports (Reuters, 4/23). The pope "asked us for a study on this particular aspect of using a condom by those afflicted with AIDS and by those with infectious diseases," Barragan said (Ireland On-line, 4/24). Although some Catholic clergy have suggested that the use of condoms to curb HIV transmission would be the "lesser of two evils," the pope in a June 2005 speech to African bishops said that contraception is one of many trends contributing to a "breakdown of sexual morality." He added that abstinence and fidelity are the only "fail-safe" ways to prevent the spread of HIV (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 12/1/05). Cardinal Carol Maria Martini, retired archbishop of Milan, Italy, in comments published on Saturday in Italy's L'Espresso, said, "Certainly, the use of condoms can constitute in certain situations a lesser evil." Martini, who was responding to questions from Ignazio Marino -- head of the transplant center at Jefferson Medical College -- also said, "There's ... the unique situation of a married couple, one of whom is afflicted with AIDS. That one is obliged to protect the other, and the other must be able to protect him or herself" (AP/Baltimore Sun, 4/22). He added, "Therefore, using a condom would be considered a minor sin and in particular in the case of married couple where the use of a prophylactic would protect the partner and ultimately themselves" (Laidlaw, Toronto Star, 4/22). Martini said that although condoning condom use in certain circumstances would be a "lesser evil," it would be a completely different situation for the Vatican to promote condom use (AP/Baltimore Sun, 4/22). Barragan said he did not want to comment on Martini's statements, adding, "It is a very difficult and delicate subject which warrants prudence" (Ireland On-Line, 4/24). The Vatican has made no official comment about the potential document, BBC News reports (BBC News, 4/24).

MINNEAPOLIS – Throughout this underachieving season filled with inconsistency and injuries, one theme remains painfully clear.
The Lakers haven't met an opponent they can beat handily.
It appeared they found the perfect candidate to end their road struggles with the Minnesota Timberwolves losing 19 consecutive times to the Lakers and dropping nine of their last 11 contests prior to Friday's game.
The Lakers' 111-100 victory Friday over Minnesota at Target Center may have satisfied the bottom-line result. L.A. snapped its eight-game road losing streak and, at 21-26, remained three games behind the Houston Rockets for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.
"I'm happy," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We have to get wins and we got one."
Still, Friday's win hardly improves the Lakers' outlook on their seven-game trip.
It initially appeared the Lakers hardly sweated Dwight Howard's absence. He flew back to Los Angeles earlier Friday to undergo a platelet rich plasma (PRP) procedure on his sore right shoulder.
But for the third consecutive game, the Lakers squandered a double-digit lead against a team remaining low in the Western Conference standings.
They nearly blew an 18-point lead Tuesday against New Orleans, requiring Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash to play extended minutes. They squandered an 18-point cushion against Phoenix, ruining Nash's return there for the first time since switching teams this offseason.
Against Minnesota, the Lakers' 29-point lead nearly evaporated. Timberwolves guard Alexey Shved made a three-pointer that cut the Lakers' lead to 94-90 with 5:54 remaining. The Lakers avoided embarrassment because Minnesota scored only six points in the final 4:15.
"It's better than not getting them," D'Antoni quipped about the blown leads.
Others weren't joking.
"We need to be able to sustain leads. Otherwise, it's going to cost us games," said Pau Gasol, who posted 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting and 12 rebounds as the team's starting center. "We can't play the score. We just need to play the game."
But the Lakers haven't done so.
Instead, they've given every NBA team both good and bad a chance to beat up on a once-storied franchise.
Minnesota almost became an exception with the Lakers building their 29-point lead in different ways.
The Lakers' 10 first-half field goals from 3-point range nearly matched the franchise record when they made 12 in two games, Dec. 17, 2006 versus the Wizards and March 7, 2008 against the Clippers. Gasol filled in nicely at starting center after playing as a reserve the past six games, scoring 13 of his 22 points in the first half.
Yet, the Lakers entered halftime with a 68-53 cushion after allowing the Timberwolves to go on a 17-3 run featuring too many plays where the Lakers looked overwhelmed.
Minnesota point guard Ricky Rubio beat Steve Nash off the dribble and easily glided past Gasol into the lane. On another play, Rubio swiped the ball from Kobe Bryant, led the break and threw a behind-the-back pass to Derrick Williams. Aided in part by Minnesota's 2-3 zone, the Lakers closed out the final five minutes missing 11 of their last 13 shots.
"The resiliency was there, but the execution wasn't," said Bryant who posted a near triple-double with 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. "The zone bothered us a little bit. It threw us out of whack and out of rhythm.
"We had to regroup."
The Lakers never opened the second half with a run to put this game away. Unlike the Lakers' opponents in their previous eight road losses, Minnesota lacked enough time to extend the losing streak.
"We're the greatest team ever assembled," Lakers forward Metta World Peace said with a hint of sarcasm. "Sometimes people get lucky."
As they did against Minnesota, the Lakers do too.

I googled medlars and site after site came up with the rosehip-looking type. Dead end after dead end. So I put my faith in google; I typed "soft fruit medlars that look a bit like apricots" and bingo! I asked and the internet delivered. What I had were loquats aka Japanese medlars aka Japanese/Chinese plums or biwa if you prefer. It seems to be the fruit of a thousand names!
Mine felt like ripe apricots and the skin peeled off easily without needing to dip the fruit in boiling water. For this cake I probably could have left the skin on as it's very thin but I didn't want to risk it. The stone comes out easily but I also peeled away the thin white papery layer around it.
They have a beautiful flavour and were really juicy. Imagine a less gingery mango with elements of orange, peach and apricot and you'd be getting close. Fruity and sweet at first but finishing with a sharper acidic flavour I really fell for them in a big way and wished I'd come across them sooner.
This upside down cake contains cinnamon and vanilla, two spices that work well with most fruits. You could serve this cake at room temperature for afternoon tea, or hot with custard or ice cream for dessert.

Toy Soldiers played the outdoor stage at Pastorius Park for the second of seven concerts in this year's Pastorius Park Concert Series. The band and a large crowd (which swelled past 300 by my best estimate) endured temperatures that were still well above 90 degrees at 7:30 p.m.
The concert series is presented by the Chestnut Hill Community Association with support from Chestnut Hill Hospital and the Chestnut Hill Community Fund. Next Wednesday's concert will feature Philadelphia Folk Band, Hezekia Jones.

Portland Venture Group is a bit of a joke amongst Oregon startups, it is not a investment group as much as it is a social club. Many companies I know have pitched them, but they have never actually funded anything, at least not in the past few years. As they drag things on they will ask you to pay $250 to cover "room charges" but you are actually buying the members dinner, no dinner for you though, you have to wait outside until they are ready for you.PRIVATE: Members Only (941 Characters)

Well, yeah, if you are getting FIFO overflow, you are not emptying it out in time so something must be using too much time. If you are generating PWM signals for the servo with the same processor that reads the MPU then you could easily overflow the FIFO. I mean if THAT'S your configuration. It also means your sensor is set for free running reads.
The servo and the sensor are overflowing the fifobuffer.

Formation and Education for the Life of the Church
What is a permanent deacon?
The office and ministry of the permanent deacon is a distinctive
vocation in the Catholic Church. Although the diaconate is an
ordained ministry of the Church, it is a different ministry from
that of priests.
Deacons are ordained into a ministry of service, and
enjoy a special relationship with the bishop. The permanent
diaconate provides a "greater and more direct presence of Church
ministers in the various spheres of the family, work, school, etc.,
in addition to existing pastoral structures," according to Pope
John Paul II.
If I'm interested in being a permanent
deacon, what should I do?
Contact your diocesan office of vocations or, if
there is one, a diocesan office of the permanent diaconate. Saint
Meinrad works with dioceses to establish its programs. The diocese
identifies and accepts the candidates for the permanent deacon
What dioceses does Saint Meinrad serve with
its permanent deacon formation program?
Saint Meinrad offers aspirant, candidate and ongoing
formation for a number of dioceses. The list of dioceses served
changes each year. Check with your diocese to find out if a
formation program is offered through Saint Meinrad at this

Timothy Brown: The Other Side of the Cure
By Nelson Vergel
July 15, 2011
By now, we have all read several stories about Timothy Brown and watched his interviews on TV. For the few who have been living in a cocoon in the last few weeks and have not watched the news, I remind them that Tim, once known as the "Berlin patient," is the man who was cured of HIV through a long and risky procedure of chemotherapy, radiation and a CCR5-negative stem cell transplant.
Ever since I saw the first poster presentation at the 2007 CROI conference that mentioned his case, I have been wondering what it would feel like to be cured. Until that moment, that thought had never crossed my mind. What would it be like not to have to take pills every day, not to have to worry about side effects, not to have to go see a doctor so frequently, not to have to be afraid of rejection, not to have to spend so much time reading medical information, not to be worried about drug resistance and death, not to feel different from others?
I was happy to have met Timothy Brown this week while shooting my upcoming documentary on the challenges of HIV cure research. This great opportunity not only gave me a chance to get to know him but also to find out more about how it feels to be free of HIV while living in the United States.
Timothy graciously agreed to meet me for an interview in San Francisco, even though he had been asked to do this so many times in the past few months. He showed up dressed nicely in a suit, looking like a handsome businessman ready for an important meeting. I and my friend and camera person Greg Fowler put him through a series of questions, many that he had heard before, yet he kept his candid and approachable attitude throughout the interview while we had glaring lights on his face. I was able to ask him some personal questions about his struggle through his long but successful ordeal.
About a year ago, Timothy moved to the United States from Berlin, where he'd received the chemotherapy, radiation and two bone marrow transplants that got his leukemia in remission and his HIV wiped out of his body. The entire procedure was paid for by the German government. His oncologist and creative thinker, Dr. Gero Hütter, was a great advocate and supporter of his health who did not give up even after the first stem cell transplant failed to control Tim's leukemia. Tim did not have to worry about his ability to pay for this expensive procedure; it was a benefit of living in a country that provides its people with health care. He is sure that had he been living in the U.S., he would not have fared that well and he would not be cured. For a doctor to think outside the box and be allowed to do such an innovative procedure would have required a lengthy process of institutional review boards in the United States, which would have deemed it too risky even in Tim's justified risk-to-benefit situation.
Timothy's lengthy one-year ordeal at the hospital did not stop when he left it. Walking home one night, he was mugged and hit on the head while he fell on his shoulder. His injuries are persistent to this day and he needs physical therapy. Due to the loss of his support system in Berlin, Tim decided to come to his home country to start a new life after years of living in Europe. What he found out after arriving here surprised him.
Now that Timothy is back in San Francisco he faces the obstacles of a system with no universal health care, in which he has to go through a long process to apply for benefits. He is HIV negative, so he cannot apply to be covered by Ryan White for his medical needs. His health is good, but he is still on his path to strengthen a body that has been affected by harsh chemotherapy after a year stay in the hospital and by injuries caused by his attacker. He is happy to have made medical history as the first living person cured from HIV, but he is now shocked about how complicated the U.S. benefits and health system's bureaucracy has been. He told me that it is amazing that a country which was not his mother land cured him; and now his home country cannot support his continuing struggle to strengthen his health.
We all make assumptions about people we see on TV. He is no exception. I assumed that he must be a man who is not only lucky but who has a support system that ensures his continuing healing. So I was surprised about how far from the truth that is in his case. He is not able to work due to his physical therapy needs, lives on a small budget with several roommates, and is trying to quickly adjust to the challenges of reentering a world he left behind years ago. Many TV programs and magazines have covered his success story, yet none has offered any help to make his life easier in this country. Hopefully, we as a community can be supportive of him as we open doors that can lead to his fast recovery and entry into the world of the living. He is committed to being a strong voice in HIV cure advocacy, and some of us in the activist world will ensure that he is supported in his wish. Fortunately, his strong and fighting spirit along with his grounded and welcoming energy will get him to the other side of his cure: his long-term wellness and stability.
As I left San Francisco today, I did so with the knowledge that I'd met a great and warmhearted survivor that needs our support. I am committed to helping to connect him to the network of my peers who will welcome him to our world of communal wisdom. As I see it, he is HIV negative now but very much part of our struggle. And we need him healthy and happy!

"Creating new farming and ranching opportunities is vital to U.S. agriculture and rural America," said Veneman. "These programs will help beginning farmers and ranchers with needed information and financing."
The advisory committee advises the Secretary of Agriculture on ways to encourage federal and state beginning farmers' programs to provide joint financing to qualified farmers and ranchers and look for methods to help create new farming or ranching opportunities.
The Committee is required by the Agricultural Credit Improvement Act of 1992 and members serve for two years.
The Sun Belt members of the 20-member panel include:
Henry English of Pine Bluff, Ark.; Valerie Diller of Texline, Texas; Omar Garza of Santa Elena, Texas; Juan Guzman of Miami, Fla.; J. Latrice Hill-Moore of Jackson, Miss.; Trenton McKnight of Throckmorton, Texas; Ray Mobley of Tallahassee, Fla.; Linda Prentiss of Springville, Calif.; and Kenneth Stokes of Stephenville, Texas;
All members have experience in agriculture. The members were chosen from a diverse group of individuals recommended by members of Congress; state departments of agriculture; universities; lending institutions; nonprofit organizations; USDA's Farm Service Agency; USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service; and other interested parties.
The farmer and rancher pilot loan program, called the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Land Contract Guarantee Pilot Program, guarantees sellers that if a USDA-approved buyer misses payments, USDA will make them.
The pilot program, created by the 2002 farm bill, will be tested in Indiana, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa during fiscal years 2003-2007. Every year, up to five land contracts in each of the six pilot states may be guaranteed.
The pilot program provides the seller of the land a 10-year "prompt payment" guarantee of the sale to the beginning farmer or rancher (buyer). In the event that the buyer does not pay an annual installment due on the contract, or pays only part of an installment, USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) will provide the scheduled payment or the unpaid portion to the seller through an escrow agent.
The defaulted amount then becomes a federal debt for which the buyer is liable. If the debt is not restructured into a repayment plan or otherwise satisfied, FSA will use other means to collect the debt from the buyer. The guarantee is limited to the total monetary amount of two installments. The guarantee will also cover the amount of two years' worth of unpaid taxes and insurance.
The following are some of the eligibility requirements prospective buyers must meet:
- Be a beginning farmer or rancher and the owner of a family farm after the contract is completed.
- Have participated in the business operations of a farm or ranch for at least three years.
- Have an acceptable credit history demonstrated by satisfactory debt repayment.
- Be unable to obtain sufficient credit elsewhere without a guarantee to finance actual needs at reasonable rates and terms.
For instance, the Direct Farm Ownership interest rate is currently 5.25 percent. Rates change monthly and can be found at http://www.fsa.usda.gov under Farm Loans, Direct Loans & Rates. Contract payments must be amortized for a minimum of 20 years. During the term of the guarantee, balloon payments are prohibited and payments on the contract must be of equal amounts.
FSA offers direct and guaranteed loans to producers' to buy farms, equipment, feed and other farming essentials. Special loan programs exist for beginning farmers and ranchers, socially disadvantaged persons and rural youth. Each year, FSA makes thousands of loans to farmers and ranchers who cannot obtain private, commercial credit. You can obtain more information about this and other FSA programs by visiting a local USDA Service Center or via the Internet at http://www.fsa.usda.gov.

When Donald Fehr took over as the executive director of the National Hockey League Players Association, he offered an olive branch to commissioner Gary Bettman.
In a far-reaching interview in early 2011, Fehr said he wasn't taking over the position to create any problems or have a fight with anyone. He was there to do what's best for his members. Sounded good, but anyone who knew Fehr, knew that he was jerking Bettman's chain.
Friday night, Fehr yanked Bettman's chain again.
A realignment plan that was approved 26-4 by the teams and got the thumbs up from the more than two dozen players with whom I spoke, was not approved by Fehr and the NHL Players' (Agents?) Association.
That brought a long response from the league (see: Outstanding! Another Year in Florida, below), but here was the money line: "It is unfortunate that the NHLPA has unreasonably refused to approved a plan that an overwhelming majority of our clubs voted to support and that has received such widespread support from our fans and other members of the hockey community, including players."
I particularly like the use of the word, "unreasonably."
Bettman, who can become quite prickly when someone does or says something he doesn't like (see: Ron MacLean), was obviously pissed. This was his realignment. He, and pretty much everyone else, knew it made sense, andyet his new best friend, Don Fehr, threw it right back in his face.
However, keep this mind. Fehr isn't an idiot. He knows that the realignment agreement made sense. He knew that vast majority of his members have stated publicly that they liked it. This is a man who just wants a preliminary bout.
As we know, the current collective bargaining agreement expires on Sept. 15. Initial discussions on a new CBA are set for the all-star break. Don Fehr has just told Gary Bettman that the negotiations are going to be no cakewalk. As the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, Fehr made it clear that he had no patience for salary caps and he will not allow his members to give up the 57 per cent of revenues they have already collectively bargained (the owners want what the NBA owners got, abut 50 per cent). Hockey fans should brace for a long, ugly ordeal.
There is a war looming. On Friday night, Donald Fehr fired the first shot.

I. IN WINTER Myself Pale mornings, and I rise. Still Morning Snow air--my fingers curl. Awakening New snow, O pine of dawn! Winter Echo Thin air! My mind is gone. The Hunter Run! In the magpie's shadow. No Being I, bent.
Yvor Winters
On October 17, 1900, (Arthur) Yvor Winters was born in Chicago, Illinois. While studying at the University of Chicago he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and decided to relocate to Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the sake of his health. His early poems, published in 1921 and 1922, were all written at a tuberculosis sanitarium. In 1923 and 1924, Winters taught at the grade school and high school in the coal-mining camp towns of Madrid and Cerillo, New Mexico. He enrolled at the University of Colorado in 1925, and there he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. In 1926, he married the poet and novelist Janet Lewis. He spent two years teaching at the University of Idaho in Moscow before entering Stanford University as a graduate student, receiving his PhD in 1934. From 1928 until his death, he was a member of the Stanford English department.
His books of poetry include The Early Poems of Yvor Winters, 1920-1928 (Swallow Press, 1966); Collected Poems (1952; revised edition, 1960), winner of the Bollingen Prize; To the Holy Spirit (1947); Poems (1940); Before Disaster (1934); The Proof (1930); and The Immobile Wind (1921). Winters was also a prolific and controversial critic who believed that a work of art should be "an act of moral judgement" and attacked such literary icons as T. S. Eliot and Henry James. The chair of the Stanford English department notoriously denounced Winters as a "disgrace to the department." In Defense of Reason (1947), Winters's major critical work, is a collection of three earlier studiesPrimitivism and Decadence (1937), Maule's Curse (1938), and The Anatomy of Nonsense (1943).
Winters's honors include a National Institute of Arts and Letters award as well as grants from The Guggenheim Foundation and The National Endowment for the Arts. He died on January 25, 1968 in Palo Alto, California.

Claytonia virginica aka Spring Beauty is a North American native perennial wildflower that is 3-6 inches tall. The flowers fully open are about one half inch across each having 5 petals. It is primarily a woodland plant preferring moist to dry rich loam soil and abundant organic material. One of the earliest of the spring wildflowers they are easy to spot as they stand out from they usual brown leaves on the forest floor. These were photographed in Southeast Michigan in late April.
Since childhood, Michael has had a fascination with photography but he never pursued it beyond being a hobby. In July 2004 his wife suffered a massive stroke, it was from that time that their lives on took a new direction. Prior to her stroke they were considering the possiblity of full time mission work. However after two mission trips after the stroke it was clear that it would be to difficult for Brenda with the physical limitations. Looking for ways to spend more time together they found photography to be a good avenue. As he developed as a photographer his work moved from a hobby to having a higher purpose and at that time it became art to him. Since that transformation in his purpose he has developed a greater appreciation for the...

Grand Bois recently introduced their new high-flange cassette hubs. They combine classic appearance with modern performance. The aesthetics of the new Grand Bois hubs are inspired by the classic Maxi-Car hubs. Like the originals, they feature large flanges and red anodized dust shields.
The holes in the flanges are centered between the spoke holes. This makes the flanges stronger and looks nicer. As a result, 32-hole hubs (left) have 8 holes in each flange, whereas 36-hole hubs (right) have 9.
Inside the new hub shells, the Grand Bois hubs are the same as before. That means they are typical high-end Taiwanese cassette hubs, with four cartridge bearings, an oversize aluminum axle and an aluminum cassette body. Two cassette bodies are available, one compatible with Shimano/SRAM (8-, 9-, or 10-speed), the other with Campagnolo (10-speed). Aluminum shields and rubber O-rings (on the rear only) protect the bearings from contamination. The hub shells are polished, but not to a mirror finish. When you look carefully, you can see the machining traces.
The hubs also come with typical Taiwanese quick releases. Frankly, I am not very fond of them. The cutout in the lever is crudely done, and the D-ring on the nut has no function and flops around. On classic Campagnolo quick releases, the D ring was a spring that pushed on the skewer and locked the quick release adjustment in place. The new quick releases have a nyloc insert for that, but then why bother with the D ring at all? Fortunately, it is easy to replace the quick releases.
It would be nice to say that these are the best hubs ever made, but I believe that claim is still held by the original Maxi-Cars. Their double labyrinth seals and adjustable cartridge bearings ensured decades of service. However, original Maxi-Cars are almost impossible to find, and there are no good freewheels available to go with them.
If you are looking for a modern cassette hub with classic appearance, then the new Grand Bois hubs are a welcome alternative. More information is here.

The American Soybean Association is urging Congress to provide funding to deliver much-needed financial assistance to farmers and rural communities to assist them in recovering from devastating losses caused by hurricanes, excessive rain during harvest and other natural disasters across the country, including catastrophic weather-related losses in the Mid-South and neighboring states.
"Soybeans, rice, cotton, peanuts, sweet potatoes and other crops and segments of the agricultural economy currently are experiencing devastating weather-related losses," said Johnny Dodson, ASA president and soybean producer from Halls, Tenn. "In some cases, the 2009 losses follow on the heels of similar losses in 2008."
To make the situation even worse, the rains in the Mid-South came during harvest. Farmers had invested the maximum in inputs to bring the crops to completion only to suffer yield and quality losses. This, in addition to increased harvest expenses, has resulted in severe financial stress.
"Processors and related businesses that rely upon robust production will operate at reduced levels or not at all, placing stress on small businesses and rural communities.
"Because there is urgent need for disaster assistance, ASA believes the provisions in the legislation recently introduced by Sens. Cochran, Wicker (both from Mississippi) and Lincoln (from Arkansas) can effectively deliver emergency financial disaster assistance for most crops through a mechanism similar to direct payments," Dodson said.
"The payments would be limited to counties with a (USDA) Secretarial disaster declaration. This delivery mechanism offers the advantage of delivering timely assistance for yield and quality losses with minimal administrative burden on USDA. Alternative means of providing assistance to specialty crops and other sectors will also be necessary."
ASA joined with the National Cotton Council, Southern Peanut Farmers Federation, USA Rice Federation and the U.S. Rice Producers Association in sending a letter to Sen. Thad Cochran on Nov. 20, expressing strong support and the urgent need for legislation.
Although loss estimates are preliminary, they have already reached the hundreds of millions of dollars. Many producers need assistance within weeks to repay loans and secure new financing in time for spring planting, so prompt action on this measure is vitally important. Alternative means of providing assistance cannot be delivered before late 2010 or early 2011.
The groups are urging leaders in the Senate to work with Cochran to identify an appropriate legislative vehicle that could be enacted before the end of the current session of Congress to provide timely emergency financial assistance to farmers and ranchers who have suffered weather-related losses in 2009.

Similar to mitochondria, peroxisomes are heavily involved in cellular metabolic processes. The ubiquitous organelles, which are delineated by a single membrane, generally contain enzymes that utilize oxygen to subtract hydrogen atoms from certain organic substrates in an oxidative reaction that generates hydrogen peroxide. Peroxisomes also typically contain catalase, an enzyme that uses this toxic byproduct of metabolism to oxidize formic acid, alcohols, phenols, and other substrates, a function that is especially important in cells of the kidneys and liver, which are responsible for the detoxification of various toxins traveling through the bloodstream. Any remaining hydrogen peroxide present in the cell is broken down by catalase into water and free oxygen molecules. The degradation of fatty acids and the catalysis of the initial steps in the synthesis of ether phospholipids, which are eventually utilized in membrane formation, are a few of the other various tasks commonly carried out by peroxisomes.
In a double immunofluorescence experiment, the adherent monolayer culture of rat thoracic aorta cells illustrated above was fixed, permeabilized, blocked with 10 percent normal goat serum, and treated with a cocktail of mouse anti-histones (pan) and rabbit anti-PMP 70 (peroxisomal membrane protein) primary antibodies, followed by goat anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (IgG) conjugated to Texas Red and Alexa Fluor 488, respectively. The filamentous actin network was counterstained with Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Welcome to the Asia Stocks live blog, a running account of what the region's share markets are doing, along with other news. Today, the Bank of Japan holds its fire, while Tokyo shares lose grip of some of their post-holiday gains, and Hong Kong stocks trudge lower.

- Hong Kong exchange loses its big pork chop
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
Look for active trade today in shares of Hong Kong Exchange & Clearing on news that pork producer WH Group is pulling its initial public offering, at least for now.
The listing by WH Group — which, under its former name Shuanghui International, bought U.S. peer Smithfield Foods last year — was a big prize for the Hong Kong exchange after losing out to New York on the IPO for ecommerce major Alibaba Group.
WH Group had reportedly hoped to use proceeds from the offering to pay down debt from the Smithfield deal, but market conditions apparently forced the Chinese pork firm to indefinitely postpone the listing. It had already cut the size of the offering amid weak demand and delayed the debut to May 8 from April 30.

- Japanese manufacturing rebounds, but outlook dims
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
Japan's industrial production results are out, and it's another good news/bad news report, with output registering a modest 0.3% rebound during March, but with a sizable pullback expected for the current month.
The mild recovery for March's output compares to February's 2.3% plunge, but is below a forecast 0.5% gain from a Wall Street Journal survey of economists.
As for the survey of the Japanese manufacturers themselves, included in the data from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the average expectation for this month's output calls for a 1.4% drop, while May's result is seen edging 0.1% higher.
Similarly, the monthly report on Japanese manufacturing compiled by Markit and Japan Materials Management Association — released earlier this morning — showed April output falling at its fastest pace since December 2012, even as job creation in the sector saw its highest growth in more than seven years.
The yen nudged a little higher after the ministry's data, as the dollar inched down to ¥102.58 from ¥102.61. Equity-wise, lead Nikkei Average futures traded in Singapore held steady, still sitting 0.2% higher as the markets return from yesterday's Showa Day holiday.

- Japan stocks: Earnings misses can't stop the bulls

It's a good day to be an owner of Japanese equities, with the Nikkei Average showing off a 0.8% gain in the early minutes, and with the broader Topix up 0.7% as the market returns from yesterday's holiday to find a positive lead from Wall Street and a weaker yen (dollar at ¥102.56 vs. ¥102.14 when Tokyo last opened).
Telecoms and auto makers are among the winners at this point. Softbank is up 2.2% after its U.S. unit Sprint hiked its outlook, while KDDI is up 2.8% ahead of its earnings due out later today. NTT and sister wireless firm NTT Docomo are pulling up the rear, with gains of 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively.
On the automotive front, Toyota is up 2.3% as investors react to its plan to consolidate its U.S. operations in Texas, while Honda is up 2.5%, Nissan is up 1.7%, Mitsubishi Motors is up 1.6%, and Fuji Heavy is up 1.4%.
Panasonic is trading 1.8% higher as the market passes judgment on its earnings, out after Monday's closing bell, which showed the electronics major swinging to a fiscal-year gain and forecasting more profit for this year. Kyocera is also enjoying a post-earnings bump, its shares rising 3.6% on the back of above-consensus profit results.
But this morning's gains are capped by some disappointing earnings and other news.
NEC is down 6.6% after growth in its bottom line trailed analyst forecasts, while Chubu Electric is down 2% (among the only utility stock in decline this morning) after posting a sharply wider annual loss and offering guidance that calls for a swing to profit this year, but by less than the market expected.
TDK is down 4% despite significantly higher profit than in the previous fiscal year, with investors reacting to a forecast that undershot expectations.
Newly listed Apple supplier Japan Display is 3.7% lower after trimming its annual profit target, while Tokyo Electron is off a milder 0.4% after posting a slightly larger fiscal-year loss than the previous year.

It started well enough, but after a brief gain at the open, the S&P/ASX 200 is down 0.3% in Sydney as the top financials head south for the morning.
After a recent advance for the Big Four banks, we find ANZ down 0.5%, NAB down 0.6%, Westpac down 0.7%, and CBA flat. Likewise, Macquarie is 0.6% lower, and Bank of Queensland is down 1.4% after Bell Potter cuts its rating on the shares to hold from buy, though with an unchanged price target.
Woolworths is weaker by 2.5% after issuing its quarterly sales results ahead of the open. While same-store sales rose 5.3% from a year earlier (or 5.9% when adjusting for the difference in when Easter fell), the result was still below market expectations, according to the Herald Sun.
Meanwhile, Brambles — the world's largest maker of wooden pallets — is down 1.5% after affirming its profit outlook.
As for the miners, the major iron-ore players are trading mixed following a retreat for spot ore prices. Fortescue Metals is up 0.6%, while BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are each 0.4% higher, but Atlas Iron is down 0.9% and Mt. Gibson Iron is flat.

- Hong Kong retreats after rally, with banks weak

Hong Kong stocks retreated slightly in early moves after a surprising 1.5% rally of in yesterday's final hours of trade, as Hong Kong Exchange & Clearings unveiled long-awaited details for the "through train" scheme, which would allow foreign investors to directly buy mainland Chinese stocks via the bourse.
Today, it's a different story, as the Hang Seng Index drops 0.3%, while the Shanghai Composite Index edges down 0.1%.
Telecom giant China Mobile is lower by 0.4% after its 4.6% jump in the previous day, while smaller rival China Telecom is retreating 0.5%, but China Unicom is up 1.4%, continuing to outperform following a 6.4% climb yesterday.
Banks are weak across the board, with ICBC and Bank of Communications down 0.6% and 1.2%, respectively, after quarterly results.
ICBC's net profit for the first quarter rose 6.6%, its slowest growth in the last five years. Bank of Communications had the slowest earnings growth among the "Big Five" state-owned banks, with its net income up 5.6% year-on-year.
The other top banks, though they have posted double-digit profit growth, aren't seeing much buying interest either, as Bank of China declines 1.2%, China Construction Bank Corp. drops 0.6%, and Agricultural Bank of China is down 0.3%.
However, casino stocks are bouncing back after days of heavy losses. MGM China is rebounding 3.3% after its earnings climbed 26% in the first quarter. while Melco Crown Entertainment is advancing 2.8%, SJM Holdings is up 1.6%, and Galaxy Entertainment is rising 1%.

- Bank of Japan: Most expect nothing, but...
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
The Bank of Japan decision is likely to come out within the next hour or two, and the policy board is generally expected to hold fire on any new easing moves as it assesses the impact from this month's hike in the national sales tax.
But not everyone is convinced the central bank will stand pat. Société Générale says: "We expect the Bank of Japan, depending on whether it revises down its bullish outlook, to announce additional quantitative and qualitative easing measures."
Then again, SocGen was calling for a 1.3% drop in March industrial production, but the data ended up printing a 0.3% gain.
Also due out are the BOJ's economic forecasts, though here too, economists see little in the way of changes from the projections issued in January, or so says Kyodo News.
The Kyodo report said the only major change would be a cut in for economic growth in the fiscal year that ended last month, with the central bank trimming it to "below 2.5%" from 2,7% previously.

- Bank of Japan does nothing, briefly delighting market
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
The Bank of Japan decision is out, with the central bank sticking to its current policy by a unanimous vote, as widely expected.
The fact that this was a non-event seems to have been underlined by an unusually short statement, consisting of just two sentences. (You can read the whole thing here in English.)
Equally short was the market reaction: The dollar surged to ¥102.48 from ¥102.39 in a matter of seconds, only to cruise lower within the ensuing minutes. It's currently buying ¥102.36.
Likewise for stocks — the Nikkei Average went from a 0.1% gain to a 0.5% gain, only to retreat in tandem with the dollar to a current loss of 0.1%
Attention now shifts to the Bank of Japan's economic forecasts, due out after the market closes. But again, little is expected in terms of changes to the last round of projections issued in January.

- Bank of Japan cuts Japan's growth forecasts
- by Laura He
- Add a Comment
Bank of Japan on Wednesday lowered its growth forecast for Japan's economy to 1.1% in the current fiscal year ending in March 2015, while expecting the inflation to rise this year and reach around its 2% goal around fiscal 2015.
In the semiannual report on economic and price forecasts, the central bank estimated that Japan will grow by 1.1% in fiscal 2014, down by 0.3 percentage points from the earlier forecast in January, mainly due to "a delay in export recovery."
Meanwhile, the policymakers maintained their projections on the consumer-price index, which will reach 1.3% in fiscal 2014 and accelerate to 1.9% in fiscal 2015, excluding the effect of the sales-tax hike.
Explaining why the projections on price increases are more or less unchanged, the BOJ said continued "firm" domestic demand has tightened labor supply and demand conditions, while rising inflation expectations have also started to influence actual wage and price settings.
The central bank will continue with the quantitative and qualitative monetary easing, aiming to achieve the price-stability target of 2%, according to the report.
Earlier, the BOJ kept its monetary policy steady and stuck to its pledge to expand the monetary base at an annual pace of 60 trillion to 70 trillion yen ($586 million to $683 million).
The report was issued after Japan markets were closed. The Nikkei Average ended Wednesday's trading with a 0.1% gain, and the Topix settled 0.2% higher.
Meantime, the yen strengthened against the greenback, with the dollar buying ¥102.470, down from ¥102.613 in the prior session.

- China's shadow-banking worries: Investors protest over trust default
- by Laura He
- Add a Comment
Maybe those who worry about China's shadow-banking system have a new reason: angry investors are launching protests over the default of high-yield trust products, sparking concerns that a potential collapse in investor confidence for such products might lead to bankruptcies of China's private and small-medium enterprises, which rely heavily on non-bank financing.
Dozens of investors gathered outside of China Construction Bank's (CCB) Beijing headquarter on Monday, protesting over the default of a trust product sold by the CCB, the country's second-largest state-owned bank, according to several media reports. It's been the second protest staged by the investors since late March, Beijing-based Caijing Magazine said on Wednesday.
The trust product, issued by the government-controlled Jilin Province Trust, was linked to a troubled coal producer in Shanxi province. The company is currently under restructuring for its nearly 30-billion- yuan ($4.8 billion) worth of debt, according to local court documents.
Jilin Province Trust has failed to repay nearly 100 million yuan ($16 million) to investors after the maturity dates of six trust products linked to the coal producer, said Caijing.

Father Economou's Icon
An icon is a religious image.
Painting is part of
Father Ecomomou's faith.
This work was created for
the Greek Orthodox Church
of St Constantine and St Helen
in Upper Norwood.
Father Economou
started decorating the church
soon after it opened

Father Demetrios Economou
Father Economou
is both a painter and a priest:
"I felt my duty
was to do something good.
I thought my talent
was to go to the walls in churches,
to make beautiful churches."
"We prefer the image of the holy faces
to have a more unrealistic expression
because they are spirits,
like angels,
so we prefer their appearance
to be spiritual rather than realistic.
People tell me,
'Now I come very often to the church
because I feel the presence
of the Holy Man next to me,
on the wall,
you know?'.
So my satisfaction is
that I can offer to the people
something more than blessings."
Painting icons
The work of Father Demetrious Economou
is part of a long tradition.
The oldest Christian icons were painted
around 1500 years ago.
Icons are more than paintings.
They are symbols to inspire faith.
Believers reflect on them
and use them to help them pray.
Different branches of Christianity
have very distinct visual styles.
Father Ecomomou's work hangs in
Greek Orthodox churches.
