- Floyd Mayweather v Robert Guerrero
Guerrero's gun arrest should not affect Floyd fight
Robert Guerrero's forthcoming fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr should still go ahead, despite the WBC welterweight champion being arrested on gun charges on Thursday.
Guerrero, 30, was detained at John F Kennedy International Airport in New York and charged with illegal possession of an unloaded firearm - after attempting to check-in for a flight to Las Vegas with an unloaded pistol and three unloaded bullet magazines in his luggage.
Preliminary proceedings in Guerrero's case were held in Queens County the same day, but his next hearing on the matter will not come until after his scheduled meeting with Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 4.
"Guerrero was carrying no ammunition and was within his legal right to possess such firearm in the state in which he resides," Guerrero's promoters, Golden Boy, said in a statement.
"At an arraignment held before the New York State Supreme Court for Queens County, the court, after hearing the pertinent facts of the case, released Guerrero on his own recognisance.
"The next hearing in this matter is scheduled for after Robert's May 4 fight against eight-time and five-division world champion Floyd 'Money' Mayweather."
Golden Boy pointed out that Guerrero informed airport security of his pistol - which they say was kept secured in a case - prior to his check-in. The promoters also claim that the firearm is legally owned by the boxer in his home state of California.
Illegal possession of an unloaded firearm was recently upgraded to a felony in New York State, meaning Guerrero could face a prison sentence if found guilty.
District Attorney Richard A Brown said: "I hope that Mr Guerrero fights better than he thinks.
"For anyone who hasn't gotten the message, let me be crystal clear. You cannot bring an unlicensed weapon - loaded or unloaded - into this county or this city. And if you do you will be arrested and face felony charges."

George Saunders could have been a geophysicist. In fact, he was one. He graduated from the Colorado School of Mines and worked in the oil fields of Sumatra. He came to fiction writing a little later in life, attending Syracuse University's creative writing program (where he now teaches).
Saunders is now well-recognized as one of the greatest short story writers and satirists of our time. He's been awarded a MacArthur "Genius" grant and a Guggenheim Fellowship, along with piles of literary accolades for his collections, which include Pastoralia and CivilWarLand in Bad Decline. His stories often explore a world much like our own, just slightly more grotesque -- societies that are terrifying and recognizable. His writing is incisive, sad, and also really funny. His new collection, Tenth of December, is out now.
Saunders talks to us about how people interpret luck and what they do with it, drawing inspiration from a disturbing dream, and unyielding financial pressure (the kind that doesn't even lift when you win a major award).

Maria Bamford's comedy is weird and wonderfully distinctive. She's just released a new special, recorded at her home, where she performs a stand up set with breaks "off-stage" to take cookies out of the oven and administer medicine to her pet pug. Her comedy takes on a number of difficult issues, ones that are personal to her -- mental illness, suicidal thoughts, or tough family dynamics (she describes her family's favorite pastime as "Joy Whack-a-Mole"). But she doesn't use humor as a shield. She uses it to confront an issue, point-blank.
Bamford talks to us about why she chose to perform a special in front of her parents, processing awful experiences or feelings into jokes, and why she describes herself as "the orchid of comedy".
The Special Special Special is available now. Her new Comedy Central CD / DVD special, Ask Me About My New God, is due out later this year.

I watched the movie (Rang De Basanti) last night with some of my friends. It was a good movie. I would like to watch it once again. Aamir Khan and other actors were good and it was nice to see a movie where a single protagonist doesn't take complete credit.
An interesting debate ensued after the movie when we were having tea late night on MG Road (Bangalore). I thought it was a good movie but not a great example. (Imagine every disgruntled youth taking up a gun and shooting down people) I went a step ahead to equate Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad, et al, to modern day freedom fighters/militants who blow up things or kill a figurehead to make a point. You can now imagine the kind of onslaught I got from rest of my friends – who of course have great respect and reverence for these 'revolutionaries'. Not that I don't respect those revolutionaries. I just do not agree with their methods. I believe they set a wrong example in the larger context. In my opinion, a revolutionary who believes in an ideal has to see it through- test with time, and change the methods if needed, and sail through rough weathers to get the required support from people to bring the change.
On this score, I do not have a great opinion on the martyrs who do just one thing in their life- like, kill a president or a leader, following which their contribution stops (because they are dead or convicted). Most of the time they are too young or suddenly get emotional to act in haste. In some cases (like many terrorist and militant outfits out there), they are just bums who have no direction and suddenly realize this is the only way to make a mark in their otherwise ordinary lives. They just don't know how to go about convincing people or taking the message across – because that's goddamn hard, and therefore employ the only effective way that they have at their disposal- kill someone or blow up something, cause sensation, and hope their message is delivered. (Most of the terrorist outfits have whole lot of guys who think on this line).
I definitely do not approve of the methods employed by the carefree-but-suddenly-became-committed youth in this movie. I cannot imagine where every death or assassination is being justified over All India Radio. How do you actually know if the Defense Minister is responsible for MIG-21 crash (causing death of Madhavan, the pilot)? It's a subjective argument. One has to resort to legal or journalistic investigation to prove such things. This is no different from terrorists sending out a video/audio tape to justify why they kidnapped or a slit throat of a captured journalist. The whole argument is subjective and very farcical. One has to fight the system employing right methods and it is usually a long and arduous task- there are no quick fixes for bringing in a revolution. An act of assassination because one of your good friends got killed is more an act of revenge that an act of a cause. Such actions don't set great example. If ever they do, they encourage the youth to continue to be carefree hoping that one assassination will make up for their lack of seriousness and commitment. The youth in this movie are not driven by a cause. And their means employing a slapdash solution without knowing the long-term effects reflect plain immaturity.
When we are at crossroads in our lives, most often we do know what is the right path, but it is goddamn hard to take it, and most of us just take the easy path, and pretend that it was the best path available.
The path taken up by Mother Theresa, or the guys who hugged the trees to stop deforestation in India, or the guys who went to Rajasthan and dug canals to bring water to villages, etc, are hard paths and the right paths. It takes immense strength and energy to be part of the system and fight the system. Instead, just blowing up the whole parliament doesn't get us new dams, new railroads, protect our forests, or bring people out of poverty. In many societies it's called terrorism.
A good example would have been where one fights his/her way through the system to change the system- 'become a politician, or join IAS, or become a police officer' as the pilot says in the movie. I would have loved that example, but then I guess it would not have made a 'sensational' movie. Death of a Defense Minister is 'sensational' enough! We may have to live with that for the sake of sensationalism.
The debate that followed this discussion was even more interesting where in we touched on various topics including Gandhi vs. Bhagat Singh, etc. I shall write my thoughts on this subject in my next session!

KIMBERTON - Ron Stevens, who directed work at the Kimberton Youth Athletic League (KYAL) snack bar for seven years, was honored during the league's opening day ceremonies at Kimberton Park on Saturday, April 6.
Stevens and his family are retiring from work at the concession stand. Stevens received a special gift certificate and plaque and also threw out the ceremonial first pitch to start the 2013 season.
'The Stevens family has been a big, big part of KYAL,' said longtime KYAL president Rich Sim.
Sim said there have been a lot of changes made during recent years at KYAL for baseball, softball and T-ball. New scoreboards have been placed at all three fields and new lights have been installed for an organization that began work back in 1955. There will be a golf outing May 3 to benefit the circuit.
A tree has been dedicated in memory of Levi Dillon Tremblay, a member of the 2004 all-star team that finished as Mid-Atlantic Regional runner-up who was killed in an automobile accident back in November. The tree was donated by the Tremblay family as well as other members of the 2004 all-star squad.
There are some 750 boys and girls participating at KYAL this year. They are members of 62 different teams.
Boys baseball commissioner Chuck McQuiston introduced the boys as they took the field and girls softball commissioner Jim Phillips did the same for the girls.
KYAL had two all-star teams win Pennsylvania state titles in 2012 in the Cal Ripken Division and they were honored. They included the 10-year-old boys and 11-year-old boys.

Endeavour's crew awoke at 10:36 a.m. CST today to begin the orbital assembly of the International Space Station, uniting the first two station modules, Zarya and Unity. The astronauts were awakened to the sounds of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," requested by Commander Bob Cabana's daughter, Sarah.
Endeavour's crew will begin the final stages of a rendezvous with the Zarya module with an engine firing planned at about 1:30 p.m. CST, when Endeavour is at a point about 55 statute miles behind Zarya. That burn will slow the rate at which the shuttle is closing on the module. The final phase of the rendezvous will begin at about 3:15 p.m. CST, when Endeavour performs a terminal phase initiation engine firing, or TI burn, at a point about 9 statute miles behind Zarya. The TI burn will place Endeavour on a path to arrive about 600 feet directly below Zarya on its next orbit of the Earth. With the three-story-high Unity connecting module latched upright in the shuttle's payload bay, Cabana will take manual control of the shuttle at about 4:45 p.m. CST as it moves to within about a half-mile of Zarya. Cabana and Pilot Rick Sturckow will execute a sequence of maneuvers that will bring Endeavour from 600 feet below Zarya along a circular path, passing about 350 feet in front of it and finally reaching a point about 250 feet directly above the module.
From there, Cabana will fly Endeavour down toward the Zarya, relying on views from television cameras in the shuttle's payload bay to align the module, since Unity obstructs the view out of the cockpit windows. Mission Specialist Nancy Currie will operate Endeavour's outstretched arm for the capture of Zarya. Mission Specialists Jim Newman and Sergei Krikalev will assist with the rendezvous, using a hand-held laser to provide range and closing rate information as Endeavour narrows the gap with Zarya.
When the edge of Endeavour's payload bay is within 10 feet of Zarya, Currie will use the robotic arm to capture the module, about 5:46 p.m. CST. She then will maneuver it into a position precisely aligned above Unity's docking mechanism. The 21-ton Zarya will be the most massive object ever moved with the robotic arm, more than three tons heavier than the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory that was released using the arm on Space Shuttle mission STS-37.
Once the Zarya and Unity docking mechanisms are aligned and positioned only inches apart, Currie will put the arm into a "limp" mode while Cabana fires Endeavour's thrusters to force the mechanisms together, about 7:36 p.m. CST.
Zarya is 41.2 feet long and 13.5 feet wide at its widest point. Once attached to Unity, the new station will tower about 76 feet above Endeavour's payload bay and have a solar array span of about 78 feet and a combined mass of approximately 80,000 pounds. When fully assembled in 2004, the International Space Station will be larger than a football field and have a mass of more than one million pounds.
Following the mating of Unity with Zarya, Sturckow and Mission Specialist Jerry Ross will begin early preparations for the crew's entry into the new station, planned for Thursday, and begin setting up equipment for tomorrow's planned spacewalk by Ross and Newman to connect power and data cables between Unity and Zarya.
The next STS-88 status report will be issued at around 3:30 a.m. Monday. -end-

Wowm what a wonderful post by Jorge!
At 5 a.m. on April 24, I became unemployed.
I just wrapped my six-season run on "Lost." The job that went above and beyond anything I could have imagined was over.
When I auditioned for "Lost," I was just another out-of-work actor struggling to land a pilot. When I first went in to meet the producers, there wasn't any material for me, except a few sides they had for the character Sawyer.
I felt great about the audition; so great, in fact, that getting the part wasn't important because I knew I couldn't have done any better. Then I got the call that I was going to test, and that they were going to write scenes specifically for me. I remember noticing I was the only Hurley in the room waiting to test. I called my agent from the parking lot afterward and said, "I don't know what it meant but it felt like a good thing."
When I got hired I hadn't even seen the pilot script. All I knew was that it was a J.J. Abrams show and that it would shoot in Hawaii. I figured, if anything, I had just scored an extended Hawaiian vacation.
Moving to Hawaii was a dream come true. When I worked the magazine stand at Borders in Westwood, I remember seeing a picture of Kelsey Grammer in his Hawaiian home on the cover of Architectural Digest and thinking that having a home in Hawaii was a good benchmark for success. Not two months in my new apartment in L.A., I was trying to figure out what to pack for a show that I had no idea how long would last. Now six years later, I walk around my house trying to figure out what to pack from all of the stuff I have amassed in Hawaii over the show's run.
During the pilot and the first summer of shooting we bonded quickly as a cast. After all, not unlike the show's premise, we literally found ourselves on an island with one another. We'd go to each other's houses on the weekends and nights when we weren't shooting. When the shows started airing, we would usually gather at the house of whomever the show was going to feature that week to watch and congratulate each other.
We had no information about what was going on beyond what we read in the script each week. We knew we were making TV that was not like anything seen before and crossed our fingers hoping we would find an audience who liked what we were doing.
The series premiere brought in better numbers than we anticipated and I remember saying to the other actors the next day, "I hope you like it in Hawaii because we may be here for a while."
As the seasons progressed, moments of being recognized on the street grew exponentially. There was a time during season one when all I had to do was tie my hair back to become invisible. Obviously, that does nothing for me now; neither does wearing a hat and sunglasses. At times both Daniel Dae Kim and Terry O'Quinn remarked how they enjoyed disappearing when they were around me as I would be the only one getting recognized.
Hawaii has been a wonderful place to hide for six years. Sometimes I could almost convince myself that "Lost" was a just a little show I did with friends in the jungle. I always liked to think of us as the tinkers in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" until something would shake that fantasy and I'd be forced to recognize how huge the show was becoming, like getting nominated for a Golden Globe. J.J., always the consummate mensch, wanted my experience to be enjoyable and easy at the awards, so he gifted me my first custom-tailored tuxedo.
I think the time spent under the cast tent on set will be what I'll miss the most. We sang songs to Terry and Naveen's guitar playing, made valiant group efforts to complete a Friday edition of the New York Times crossword puzzle and played a lot of Scrabble.
My last day on "Lost" was also my longest: 20 hours. Without going into details, I can say the shoot was dangerous, physical and wet. But what could be more appropriate? How else could we end this epic show without an epic marathon night of shooting? At the end of it all we all remarked how we expected the end to be more emotional for us, but we were too tired to cry.
I'll admit I got a little teary with Matthew Fox. I thanked him for everything he taught me, including taking me on his trip to Japan to see Green Day that first summer of shooting. At the time, flying at the last minute to a foreign country was way out of my comfort zone, but then again nothing on "Lost" was ever in my comfort zone.
I stuck around after even after I wrapped to see the martini shot of the entire show. I could feel director Jack Bender's resistance to call "print" on that last take. In fact I'm pretty sure he asked for one more take to delay the inevitable.
I still don't think the end of it all has hit me yet. Maybe I'll feel it when the finale finally airs Sunday. Or maybe it will hit me when I board the plane at Honolulu Airport for the last time as a Hawaiian resident.
I have no clue what my next adventure is going to be, I just know this job is going to be a hard one to follow.

Hi there:
I am a new guy for here. I come from Taiwan,and I have a 98' celica gt swap 4th 3SGTE(from caldina gt-t st215w) and use stock M/T ECU for manual transmission by Engine modifier almost 3 year ago, and every thing is ok, no CEL no any trouble.
Then I got a mine's VX-ROM ECU but it is a A/T ECU,and I try to install it for manual transmission by myself, then the car can start up normally, run normally,but the max pressure could lock at 0.5 bar (this condition the ECU connect B-13(THO ATF oil temperature) open wire),then I jump the B-13 (THO ATF oil temperature) to B-22(THA intake air temperature), then the max pressure can increase to 0.6 bar,but also lock 0.6 bar...............
Could any bro teach me how to trick A/T ECU with manual transmission is best ,could I use THW(B-14 water temperature) jump wire to B-13 (THO ATF oil temperature) for trick......?
and NT+(A-16) NT-(A-15)[input shaft revolution sensor] 、NC+(A-14) NC-(A-26)[counter gear speed sensor] need to wire? Which pin can jump for ? or keep open is fine no effect for run?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post!

Every now and then someone has given me a bell and asked to know what one of the kids is saying throughout the comic. Usually it's because I've used a phrase or a word that isn't well understood outside of our own Australian lingo and I haven't realised to include it in the Strine dictionary on the site itself.
So here's your chance. If you stumble across a word or phrase at some time while reading School Spirit, it's not referenced in the Strine dictionary page, and you still have no idea what the kids are saying, then request a translation here.
Help me build up the School Spirit Strine reference page together.
Just tell me which phrase or word you would like a translation to and I'll do my best to update the page pronto. I might delete obsolete posts to keep this thread maneagable, but I'll leave a message indicating which phrases have been updated.
So...cheers, eh?

Sous Chef Career
What Is A Sous Chef & What Are They Responsible For?
A Sous Chef is second in command after the Executive Chef in a professional kitchen. This means he or she answers to the chef, but also has some authority over the other kitchen staff. Many of the terms that relate to cooking and cuisine in a professional setting are French. Sous is French for under, so you can see how the sous chef would work directly under the leader of the kitchen.
If the Chef is unavailable or off for the night, the sous chef is in command, and the kitchen staff is expected to offer the same respect to him or her as they would to the boss. Often times, a Sous Chef will work in the role for several years with the goal to move on to become an Executive Chef. In this way, the role is considered practical training for career growth.
What Does a Sous Chef Do?
It's important that a sous chef be intimately familiar with all the activities of the kitchen and be prepared to do them in a pinch. He or she will prepare and cook food, and know all styles of cooking done in that kitchen, including such skills as French, Italian, and Fusion cooking.
The Sous Chef is also responsible for overseeing the kitchen staff, which may involve scheduling or dealing with personnel conflict.
The Sous Chef of a kitchen will also make sure that the food a restaurant or commercial kitchen is using is of top quality, and that staff are being mindful of the cost standards that come with the food. For instance, if a steak costs $10 per 8 ounce serving, it is important that staff do not serve 12 ounces, costing the restaurant in oversight.
As assistant to the Executive Chef, the Sous Chef will help with menu planning, inventory, and managing of supplies. He or she may also aid in making sure the kitchen is up to safety standards, and that staff are obeying sanitation rules.
Being a Sous Chef is not an easy job. During mealtimes, it's important for them to be quick on their feet and be able to make smart decisions instantly. They often work for long hours with little of the overall credit, but creativity will be the element that helps him or her shine on the way to becoming chef.
Leading by Example in the Kitchen
While Sous Chefs do not have complete authority over the kitchen, it is important that they be strong leaders as well as team players. Being able to communicate with staff is key, especially when stress mounts and tempers rise.
To succeed, a Sous Chef should lead by example, keeping stations clean, preparing foods properly, and cooperating with others. He or she should make decisions that get the best out of every situation, and ignore his or her ego if it arises.
A Sous Chef should have respect for the Executive Chef, and value the Chef's decisions at all times. That being said, the Sous Chef should not be afraid to offer suggestions or creative ideas that can improve upon the kitchen's performance.
How to Become a Sous Chef
One of the most important steps in becoming a sous chef is gaining kitchen experience. You may have to start by washing dishes or cooking fries, but every experience you gain puts you one step closer to your career, and it can take years to work up the ranks.
It's also important to build a relationship with one particular chef. That may mean following him or her from one kitchen to another.
Another important step is to study at a culinary school. There are many located worldwide that offer completion at top-notch programs in as little as two years. Check to see what sort of job placement rate the schools offer when you apply.
Keep in mind a city with a high level of tourists, like Orlando, will probably have a higher placement rate due to the sheer number of restaurants in the city.
You will need to be dedicated, creative, and determined to succeed as a Sous Chef. You will need patience to deal with difficult staff and customers, and communication skills to ensure your staff feels like you consider them a part of your team.
How Much Does a Sous Chef Make?
The salary you earn just out of culinary school will depend on the city, your restaurant, and your skills. You can expect to average between $25,000 and $50,000 per year.
The requirements may vary for a sous chef position, as some require just a bit of education and more experience in the kitchen, while others look for a culinary degree. No matter what you do to get there, however, remember that being any member of the kitchen is a valuable experience.
As you grow and develop, you'll learn where your strengths are, and you can capitalize on those to build a strong, profitable career in the kitchen.

Thanks very much nice information..to learn about…junior staff in kitchen (Food production Department).
This job seems like a good work path and i would want to look in to this some more to make a better future..
hello lookin for some advice
my girlfriend is a chef/cook were shes workin and she well over qualified for
it she has two years in of cullenary arts and is still considerd nothing were she is and her manager/sous has no education/schooling for the position how can i help her to help her self to up her rank
The wonderful thing, in theory, about most kitchens is that by their very nature they encourage a meritocracy. Which is to say, staff who work the hardest, accomplish the most and add more to the business are rewarded more than those who simply show up no matter their qualifications or previous experience. Culinary school lays a groundwork of theory, it is not the guarantee of a higher salary or promotion, it should put you a step ahead but the rest is up to you. Your girlfriend needs to realize this and put her head down and work, work hard. If she's in a kitchen where hard work isn't recognized, then she should find a Chef who will acknowledge her efforts. It may, and should, take years of hard work, late nights, missed holidays, burns, cuts, mental and physical breakdowns before your Girlfriend achieves her goals but like anything worth having, it's worth working for. Cooking isn't glamorous, it's the service and hospitality industry and the majority of the people who enter it will make a living but very little more. Be thoughtful, diligent, work harder then the next guy and maybe you can succeed enough to build a real future. I have 12 years of experience in the industry, having worked in some top restaurants and I am currently the Head Chef of a very successful spot…but, your mileage may vary.
hello I am 53 years old with bad credit I need some help to go to a chef school I love to cook please call me my name is Jim thank you for your time
you 53 how u gna pull 90 hour weeks on your feet all day ?
this is A.D.Rana.My passion is to prepare exotic dishes from all over the world. I have strong knowledge of classical European, International, World Cuisine, Mediterranean, Fusion, and my culinary strengths are hot and cold appetizer, soups, sauces entrée, vegetable, roast including Grill Indian curry. I have gained extensive knowledge through work experience of French cooking techniques in cuisine philosophy and principles, and good knowledge of herbs, spices, and flavoring.
I have been working food industry collectively for 10 years and really consider myself very lucky to have achieved my position as sous chef so quickly. It didn't go without hard work and dedication. Starting out broiling chicken and washing dishes to catering glorious spreads consisting of fine seafoods and other proteins, and multi cultural cuisine that makes your pallet explode. I have done other "jobs" in between but the culinary world is far more of a blessing and a way of life than the in between things. Passion belongs in the time, care, heart and creativity resulting in every dish just as well as it belongs to the person enjoying what you have bled for so long to perfect for their enjoyment. Never take it for granted. It can be life changing. I had a girl with suicidal tendencies come into our restaurant with 2 friends (one of which I know personally) and had not experienced food outside of the norm. She was introduced to many things including a fine seafood risotto and that's all it took to boost her up. The girl pulled me aside and told me that the experience of the food had changed her opinion on many things and realized that there are beautiful, passionate things out there well worth staying around to enjoy. Nothing has ever made me feel more proud of my involvement on this planet. It's a hard reality at times for an employment aspect but nothing is more rewarding.
Excellent web site. Plenty of helpful info here. I'm sending it to some pals ans
also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thank you to your effort!

In the only playoff series this season to go to a fourth game, FC Barcelona Lassa hosted Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar at Palau Blaugrana on Thursday. Anthony Randolph got off to a fast start as Lokomotiv jumped ahead, but the hosts kept it close throughout the first half. Lokomotiv led by as many as 7 in the third quarter before Barcelona came back with a 9-0 run capped by a Juan Carlos Navarro triple. The home side led by as many as 4 early in the fourth, but Lokomotiv responded with a 0-9 charge of its own. Barcelona turned to Navarro when it needed him most and his jumper forced overtime. However Randolph came through with an extra session for the books to lift Lokomotiv to an 80-92 victory, which sets up a do-or-die Game 5 next week in Ru

Research Methodology
The research approach underlying this guide is a combination of case study methodology and benchmarking of best practices. Used in businesses worldwide as they seek to continuously improve their operations, benchmarking has more recently been applied to education for identifying promising practices. Benchmarking is a structured, efficient process that targets key operations and identifies promising practices in relationship to traditional practice, previous practice at the selected sites (lessons learned), and local outcome data. The methodology is further explained in a background document,18 which lays out the justification for identifying promising practices based on four sources of rigor in the approach:
Theory and research base
Expert review
Site evidence of effectiveness
Systematic field research and cross-site analysis
The steps of the research process were: defining a study scope; seeking input from experts to refine the scope and inform site selection criteria; screening potential sites; selecting sites to study; conducting site interviews, visits, or both; collecting and analyzing data to write case reports; and writing a user-friendly guide.
Site Selection Criteria and Process
In this guide, the term "online learning program" is used to describe a range of education programs and settings in the K-12 arena, including distance learning courses offered by universities, private providers, or teachers at other schools; stand-alone "virtual schools" that provide students with a full range of online courses and services; and Web portals that provide teachers, parents, and students with a variety of online tools and supplementary education materials. As a first step in the study underlying this guide, researchers compiled a list of evaluations of K-12 online programs that had been conducted by external evaluators, research organizations, foundations, and program leaders. This initial list, compiled via Web and document searches, was expanded through referrals from a six-member advisory group and other knowledgeable experts in the field. Forty organizations and programs were on the final list for consideration.
A matrix of selection criteria was drafted and revised based on feedback from advisors. The three quality criteria were:
The evaluation included multiple outcome measures, including student achievement.
The findings from the evaluation were widely communicated to key stakeholders of the program being studied.
Program leaders acted on evaluation results.
Researchers then rated each potential site on these three criteria, using publicly available information, review of evaluation reports, and gap-filling interviews with program leaders. All the included sites scored at least six of the possible nine points across these three criteria.
Because the goal of the publication was to showcase a variety of types of evaluations, the potential sites were coded as to such additional characteristics as internal vs. external evaluator, type of evaluation design, type of online learning program, organization unit: district or state, and stage of maturity. The final selection was made to draw from as wide a range on these characteristics as possible while keeping the quality criteria high, as described above.
Data Collection
Data were collected through a combination of on-site and virtual visits. Because the program sites themselves were not brick-and-mortar, phone interviews were generally sufficient and cost-effective. But some site visits were conducted face-to-face to ensure access to all available information. Semistructured interviews were conducted with program leaders, other key program staff, and evaluators. Key interviews were tape recorded to ensure lively descriptions and quotes using natural language. While conducting the case studies, staff also obtained copies of local documents, including evaluation reports and plans documenting use of evaluation findings.
Program leaders and evaluators were asked to:
Describe the rationale behind the evaluation and, if applicable, the criteria for choosing an external evaluator;
Explain the challenges and obstacles that were faced throughout the evaluation process, and how they were addressed;
Tell how the study design was affected by available resources;
If the evaluation was conducted externally, describe the relationship between the program and contractor;
Provide the framework used to design and implement the evaluation;
Tell how the appropriate measures or indicators were established;
Explain how the indicators are aligned to local, state, and/or national standards, as well as program goals;
Describe the data collection tools;
Explain the methods used for managing and securing data;
Describe how data were interpreted and reported; and
Share improvements made in program services and the evaluation process.
Analysis and Reporting
A case report was written about each program and its evaluation and reviewed by program leaders and evaluators for accuracy. Drawing from these case reports, program and evaluation documentation, and interview transcripts, the project team identified common themes about the challenges faced over the course of the evaluations and what contributed to the success of the evaluations. This cross-site analysis built on both the research literature and on emerging patterns in the data.
This descriptive research process suggests promising practices—ways to do things that others have found helpful, lessons they have learned—and offers practical how-to guidance. This is not the kind of experimental research that can yield valid causal claims about what works. Readers should judge for themselves the merits of these practices, based on their understanding of why they should work, how they fit the local context, and what happens when they actually try them. Also, readers should understand that these de-scriptions do not constitute an endorsement of specific practices or products.
Using the Guide
Ultimately, readers of this guide will need to select, adapt, and implement practices that meet their individual needs and contexts. Evaluators of online programs, whether internal or external, may continue to study the issues identified in this guide, using the ideas and practices and, indeed, the challenges, from these program evaluations as a springboard for further discussion and exploration. In this way, a pool of promising practices will grow, and program leaders and evaluators alike can work together toward finding increasingly effective approaches to evaluating online learning programs.

Before travelling: prepare your luggage
Correctly identify the luggage with your personal data (name, destination address, email and mobile telephone number) and include personal identification inside the luggage.
Remove all the labels from previous flights before checking-in.
Always lock your baggage. If you are travelling to the United States, use a TSA lock to avoid possible damage to your suitcases if they are inspected by security staff. These locks are approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the United States and allow the airport authorities to open your baggage without breaking the lock.
Bring your medication, money, valuable objects and important travel documents in your hand luggage.
Check the articles that you cannot bring on the airplane.
In the interior of the luggage you should not transport fragile, perishable or valuable articles such as jewels or money. According to international regulations, airline companies do not cover accidents involving these articles which result in loss or damage.
Ensure that nothing is protruding from your luggage to make sure it doesn't get stuck on anything and that the bag is well closed.
If you want to wrap your baggage in plastic, most airports offer this service in the departures area, before you reach the check-in desks. For more information about baggage wrapping at Spanish airports, please visit the AENA website.
After travelling: incidents with your luggage
We put our utmost care and interest so that your luggage reaches you without any problem, but occasionally an incident occurs: adverse weather conditions, improper handling, technical problems in the airport systems or if the identifying label breaks causing damage to a piece of the equipment or delays in its arrival to the destination airport. There may be multiple causes for these delays and we try to resolve issues as quickly as possible.
Below we explain what to do if you find yourself in this situation:
Go to the desk at the airport's arrival lounge.
Fill the Property Irregularity Report (P.I.R.) always before leaving the hall.
Baggage searches will be undertaken using a global system that we and another 160 airlines are members of to find lost baggages withing 25 hours in most cases.
See the Iberia Baggage Telephone Customer Service Centre if you have any further questions in this regard.
Check your baggage carefully in the reclaim area before you leave the airport. That way you will avoid taking someone else's baggage by mistake or will be able to make a claim if you discover any damage.
Always keep the documentation of your trip as well as invoices for costs directly related to the incident.
There are additional travel insurance policies that you can sign up if you consider it appropriate.

Donor-advised funds, whose popularity as charitable giving vehicles has surged in recent years, are on a roll. Fidelity Charitable, the largest provider of DAFs in the U.S., on Wednesday reported a record-breaking 30% increase in contributions for the first half of 2011.
The public charity, formerly known as the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, took in $512 million in new charitable dollars, up from $457 million in the same 2010 period. Outgoing grants set a first-half record as well, with more than 170,000 totaling $604 million going to nonprofit groups nationwide, increases of 12% and 14%, respectively, from the first six months of 2010.
"This is record-breaking activity for this time in the year, and it reinforces that donors are starting their charitable planning earlier, and that more are recognizing the benefits of donor-advised funds," Sarah Libbey, president of Fidelity Charitable, said in a statement.
The total number of DAFs in the U.S. has grown by some 51% since 2005, the statement said, citing a report from National Philanthropic Trust. DAFs now outnumber private foundations by more than two to one.
The announcement said favorable market conditions in the first half encouraged donors to continue to leverage key assets in their financial portfolios to fund their Fidelity Charitable Giving Accounts.
- Appreciated securities comprised 59% of total contributions, up from 51% during the first six months of 2010.
- Contributions in the form of complex assets—illiquid securities, limited partnership interests and certain publicly traded stock—more than tripled in the first half, climbing to 8% of contribution dollars.
Fidelity Charitable's 2011 fiscal year also showed robust donor activity. Incoming contributions during the fiscal year ended June 30 grew by 31% from fiscal year 2010, resulting in $1.7 billion in new charitable dollars. Donors recommended grants totaling more than $1.2 billion to nonprofits nationwide, up 15% from the prior fiscal year.
Fidelity Charitable ended its fiscal year with $5.6 billion in assets under management, an increase of 29% from fiscal year 2010.
The organization reported that since its inception, it has made some $11 billion in donor-recommended grants to more than 140,000 charitable organizations across the U.S.
Fidelity Charitable, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, said it would roll out its new name over the coming months. "Our new name and tagline—'Make More of a Difference'— reflects our broader mission to be a resource for individuals, families and their advisors, and to help them give more by making giving simple and effective," Libbey said.

Hilton Head Regional Habitat for Humanity is seeking volunteers to complete its Promise Way project in Ridgeland and will have an informational meeting for prospects this morning.
The meeting starts at 11 a.m. today in the community room at Palmetto Electric on U.S. 278 in Hardeeville.
The nonprofit has lined up a busy end of summer and fall building season as it continues construction on 10 houses on Promise Way in Ridgeland. Three homes have been completed and the others are slated to be finished before the end of the year, Habitat officials said.
"Many volunteers are needed to help complete this project on time.
Currently, volunteers with skills in carpentry, framing and/or siding are needed immediately. There is also an ongoing need for non-skilled volunteers as well to help with landscaping, site maintenance and other tasks," a news release said.
"Volunteering at Habitat is not limited to construction, either. Come join us for refreshments and learn about the different volunteer opportunities Habitat for Humanity offers."
Hilton Head Regional Habitat for Humanity builds simple, decent houses at zero profit and sells them to approved buyers who then make low monthly mortgage payments.
"Homebuyers are hard working, dedicated families who look forward to first time home ownership and its responsibilities," according to Habitat. They are required to give 300-400 "sweat equity" hours and attend workshops on topics such as budgeting, community relations and home maintenance.

De-Stress This Holiday Season With A New Book From JCPL!
It's almost Christmas, and my to-do list is growing like Pinocchio's nose.
To make things worse, as I scrolled through the Internet to find out what's going on in the world in the month of December, I discovered that, according to Urban Legend and the Mayan calendar, we should consider celebrating the holiday a little early, because the Universe is getting ready for a major transition.
A 3 day blackout or maybe even the end of the world as we know it is sure to ruin the holiday season if it's on schedule. As if getting ready for the holiday with all of the baking (most people do; not me) and shopping we all have to do before December 25 is not stressful enough, now it's being moved up, at least to the 22nd, if we want to enjoy it. Thinking of all that I have to do is giving me anxiety-plus, so it's time to take a break from it all by checking out a new book from the Jasper County Public Library. Here are some new fiction titles that will bring relief!
The perfect, idyllic life Emma lives behind her perfect, picket fence turns out to be just a grand illusion when her suburban postcard life is brutally cut short by a her perfect husband, who turns out to be a killer. In the shocking aftermath, Emma's three best friends, devastated by the tragic turn of events, must come to terms with the truth, and their own secrets in "More Like Her" by Liza Palmer.
In "Tidewater Inn" by Colleen Coble, Libby feels her dreams have come true when she inherits an old inn on the Outer Banks and discovers family that she never knew she had. Even restoring the old building is a dream come true for her, until she realizes that the upkeep of the place is more than she can afford and the newly discovered family that she has also inherited think the worst of her and believe that she's out to steal their birthright. To make things worse for Libby, her best friend is kidnapped right before her eyes, and Libby is implicated in the crime. Will she be able to prove her innocence or will she lose all hope and everything she's worked so hard for?
After surviving a private tragedy, Maya turns to the peaceful foothills of the Himalaya to make a new life for herself. Beginning again and learning the rhythms of the little village where people coexist with nature, Maya soon finds that no refuge is remote enough to keep out the modern world, and as power hungry politicians threaten the mountains that she's grown to love, Maya begins to push back protectively in "The Folded Earth" by Anuradha Roy.
It's the worst winter on record; rare blizzards are making life tough, yet the Hamptons are heating up with a murder mystery that leads criminal defense attorney, Jackie Swaitkowski right back into her late husband's extended and famously outrageous family. Crazy weather, crazy family and organized crime rule in "Ice Cap: A Mystery" by Chris Knopf.
Christmas is coming; I have lots to do, and if the Mayans or Urban Legend are right, I have even less time to fit it all in than I thought. This gives me anxiety. The best cure for anxiety is escape, so I think I'll escape to the Hamptons and meet Jackie Swaitkowski, the Himalayas to see how things turn out for Maya, the suburbs to discover the secrets kept by Emma's friends, and the Outer Banks to clear Libby of kidnapping charges; but before all these trips can take place, I have to first visit my local branch of JCPL, to check out these great new titles, my tickets to adventure!

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Motion recognition software business receives Venture Acceleration Funds

Ideum accelerates international software launch as a result of VAF award and business coaching
Jim Spadaccini was first drawn to New Mexico by the beauty of Chaco Canyon. "I was working on a project with NASA and the National Park Service at the time, and I just kept coming back," he says. "I didn't know then that New Mexico would also be a great place to start a business."
Fast-forward six years, and Spadaccini's company, Ideum, is exploding. The company has grown from two to fourteen employees and is moving into larger studio and production space in Corrales. Ideum originally specialized in custom software and websites. As the company customized interactive exhibits and multi-touch tables for museums, it saw the necessity of developing its own multi-touch and multi-user authoring environment. "Most multi-touch software is limited," says Spadaccini. "We saw the need to create something from the ground up that enables developers to explore new modes of human computer interaction and motion recognition."
So Spadaccini and his team at Ideum developed the first version of a gesture-based software platform called GestureWorks. LANS Venture Acceleration Fund (VAF) award enabled the company to develop a third version for international release. Ideum has also taken advantage of expert coaching to help the company grow. "GestureWorks would have been sidelined without Northern New Mexico Connect," says Spadaccini. "The VAF award allowed us to accelerate our progress to eight months, instead of sixteen. This has huge implications for getting into the marketplace quickly."
Spadaccini credits New Mexico's economic development support for Ideum's success. "We've found great local talent and a business-friendly environment in New Mexico. Both Northern New Mexico Connect and the New Mexico Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) have really helped to move us forward," he says.

Dear Doris (and all the incredible nurses who wrote letters!)
I wanted to write today to send a thousand besos of thanks. My sister Cecilia has told us about the brilliant efforts you made on our behalf, working for our release. Both Tarek and I are very grateful for everything you did. Indeed, your effort -- all those thousands of letters to Minister Baird -- is really quite extraordinary -- it really did make a difference!
(And apologies for tardiness – we've had some stuff on our plates! – but please do circulate this if you like to your fellow nurses, and anyone who likewise worked on the campaign).
Your contribution was crucial, and deeply appreciated. We're still learning about the extraordinary non-partisan grass-roots campaign that was mobilized –phone-calls and rallies and embassy visits, petitions and news coverage and videos and buttons –by so many incredible friends and strangers, working together to free us. Every effort worked together to spring us from jail. Our gratitude.
It's now been five weeks since Tarek and I were released from Signa Tora. It's incredible to be free, to be home, to be reunited with my partner Stephen and friends and family, after 50 days of sleeping on the concrete with the cockroaches. While the media attention has been difficult to navigate, taking its toll in unexpected ways (yup!), we've found the love and support of friends and strangers to be wonderfully rejuvenating. I'm finding my sea-legs – slowly! – and starting to get my life back.
Here's a video that I made in our garden, with Tarek and my sister Cecilia, the day after we landed in Toronto. It's a start at trying to convey some of what we experienced. Below that link is our longer statement of thanks, expressing our gratitude to the amazing folks who worked so tirelessly and stubbornly and effectively to free us.
Of the other 600 arrested with us on Aug 16, 15 were released on Nov 12 (their 90th day of detention without charges). These included 4 friends from our cell: Khalid, who imports LED screens from China; Refai, a young activist in my beginner English class; Ashraf, who's a dead ringer for Humphrey Bogart; and Mahmoud, whose son was born while we were in jail. The rest remain incarcerated, with their detention extended another 45 days. Their conditions are somewhat better -- about 20 men per cell now – but the hardship on both them and their families is unfathomable. Many have lost their jobs, their families have no income – and it's impossible to predict how much longer their ordeal will last. We're trying to provide what support we can, though communication is tough, particularly for me (google translate into Arabic is AWFUL!).
I just spent the morning re-reading through the 'jail' emails that my friend Yael sent to my inbox during our incarceration: messages in bottles, one per day, until we were released. Among other things, they're an incredible diary of the rollercoaster everyone was riding together – the fears and breakthroughs and setbacks and victories – trying to free us. This coalition that came together was an amazing demonstration of our community's resolve – generous, inventive, engaged, global – and it worked. Much thanks.
Love and peace, John Greyson

With budgets tight, states and municipalities consider selling ad space
State and local governments, feeling quite a pinch in the wallet these days, are looking for any way to save money. Spending cuts have become the norm in proposed budgets. Layoffs, pay freezes and furloughs for government employees are all on the table, if not already in place. California Gov. Jerry Brown is even taking away half of all state-issued cell phones to save a few bucks.
Along with saving money, at least a few government organizations are exploring new ways to make money by accepting advertisements on state, county and city websites.
In Connecticut, state Rep. Richard Smith has proposed that the state start selling ads on its websites, according to a report in the Hartford Courant. Smith cited the state's budget nightmare and suggested that "this might be a way to raise money for the state without reaching into people's pocketbooks.''
If his plan goes through, Connecticut would join Washington state, which recently started running ads on its state ferries website. Check the ferry routes on Puget Sound, and you're greeted with a pitch to visit the Hawaiian Islands.
The states are following the example of some other public-sector organizations. The Cook County, Ill., Assessor's Office began selling ads on its website a couple of years ago, according to the Examiner in Chicago. And USA Today has reported that school districts in Virginia and Arizona sell ads on their websites.
The advertising brings money into state coffers, though we doubt it's much. However, the question is whether tax-supported government organizations should be selling advertising at all. What happens when an advertiser applies for a zoning variance, or a contract bidder loses to another company that regularly buys space on a government site? Wouldn't there at least be the appearance of conflict? What about a state or city competing with the private sector for ad revenue?
Federal agencies don't have to make this call because the General Services Administration's policies "clearly prohibit advertising on federal public websites registered in the .gov domain," according to USA.gov's site on best government web practices.
States and municipalities have the leeway, although it seems it could get dicey, especially as budgets get tighter. We don't propose that it's a slippery slope leading to police cruisers plastered with logos like NASCAR race cars or people trekking to Philadelphia to see the Go Daddy Declaration of Independence. But with all significant achievements state and local governments have made in providing public services via the Web, it might be preferable to keep them purely public.
It's a familiar dilemma with technology: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Yesterday at Facebook, I posted this
with the caption: "Guess who came to dinner? A thoughtful portrait of perhaps the most influential graduate student of the late 20th Century…."
Then today I made this more explicit posting the photograph a second time and saying
"Subroto Roy notes that when a 23 year old Barack Obama Sr came to the USA and met Ann Dunham to become the most influential graduate student of the late 20th Century, it was more than a half dozen years before the great Sidney Poitier acted in "Guess who's coming to dinner?" — and those half dozen years were crucial in the Civil Rights Movement…"
And on the same lines I posted yet again, saying
"Subroto Roy wonders if the meeting of Barack Obama Senior with Mr and Mrs Dunham was a bit like this portrayal in a famous film more than a half dozen years later"
attached to a photo of the Sidney Poitier character meeting with the Spencer Tracy-Katherine Hepburn characters
and finally I have posted a fourth time a short while ago saying
"Subroto Roy notes, in reference to his analogy of the 1960 meeting between Barack Obama Sr and Ann Dunham and the characters in the 1967 movie "Guess who's coming to dinner", that in both cases the meeting occurred in Hawaii, and the parents of the girl were on the West Coast…. Hmmm…. coincidence? Or did the writer of the movie adapt from a real tit-bit of news?"
Perhaps I have discovered something here, perhaps not. Either way, American popular culture and American politics have had a felicitous confluence.
Subroto Roy
Postscript 1:
I forget the details of the movie but seem to recall the Sidney Poitier character had to rush off to serve a good cause in….. Africa….
Postscript 2:
There were 17 American States which forbade inter-racial marriages at the time the movie was made in 1967; in 1960 there may have been more though Hawaii, which became a state on Aug 21 1959, to its credit was not one of them. Thus there is a third possibility beyond coincidence and the writer of the movie hearing about real news, namely, the fact that Hawaii never had "anti-miscegenation" laws, a fact that could help explain both events.

Sunday Service (Rite Two) at St. Mary's By The Sea
Event Date: Nov 17, 2019 at 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Venue: St. Mary's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church
Location: 146 12th Street
Pacific Grove, CA 93950
Sunday Services - All are welcome at God's table
We worship together on Sunday mornings with a Rite One service at 8:00 am and a Rite Two Choral Eucharist (using contemporary language) at 10:00 am. At our 10:00 am Eucharist, we love to sing traditional favorite hymns and a variety of anthems and other songs. Lay involvement includes lectors, chalice bearers, acolytes, ushers, greeters, Sunday School teachers, Altar Guild, and choir. For all, there is a sense of welcome, acceptance, and the opportunity for spiritual renewal and growth.
St. Mary's Parish was founded by a small group of Episcopal women in 1886. It was built, in 1887, on land donated by the Pacific Improvement Company and was the first church building constructed in Pacific Grove. The architect, William Hamilton, of Sacramento, modeled St. Mary's after a church in Bath, England.
Please consider a visit to St. Mary's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church to appreciate this sacred space in person. You are always welcome to join us for Sunday services and to enjoy this special place adored by countless worshipers for over a century.

I'm going to read each chapter like 20 times. I'm going to try to perfect Windows programming. I'M READY!!!

If you've been reading here for awhile you know that I love rings...
If you just started...hi, I love rings!
{Proof: here, here, here, here & here!}
Last February my sister-in-law and I visited Lugano and I ran across this second hand shop with a dish of perfectly stackable cheap gold rings sitting right outside. I fell in love but ended up leaving without any for some reason - I know, right?
When Mark and I were there yesterday and today - I kind of maybe bee-lined to this store and they were still there! It's like a love story, they waited for me all this time!
I sifted through the lovelies shown above and chose 7 - and we are living happily ever after =)
