Since breaking his maiden and following with a stakes score in Italy last year, Lucky Chappy has posted six solid efforts stateside without a victory. In his most recent, the Irish-bred conditioned by H. Graham Motion ran third in the mile-and-an-eighth Grade Saranac Stakes at Saratoga on September 2. In the Saranac, the son of High Chaparral closed from 18-lengths behind to finish 1½-lengths behind winner Unbridled Command.
Previously, he finished second, beaten a length over a yielding course in the mile-and-a-quarter Grade II Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs on July 21.
Motion acknowledges that the mile-and-an-eighth distance of the Kent Stakes may be a little short for Lucky Chappy, but he is hoping to gain an advantage this Saturday.
"I think a mile-and-a-quarter is what he needs," Motion said. "A mile-and-a-quarter or maybe even a little further, but these opportunities to run against 3-year-olds are becoming fewer and fewer. The one thing I like about this weekend is that he might get some ground that is less than firm, which I think would help his style."
Last year, in his North American debut, he finished third, beaten 2-lengths in the Grade III Bourbon Stakes over the Keeneland turf. He followed by finishing fourth in the Grade I Breeders' Cup Turf Juvenile at Churchill Downs. He has a career record of two wins, four seconds, and two thirds from 14 starts, with earnings of $326,277.
Bluegrass Hall's Optimizer rates as the second choice. Since dancing in every dance in the Triple Crown series early this spring, the Kentucky-bred trained by D. Wayne Lukas is one-for-three. In his most recent, the son of English Channel notched 1½-length victory in a Saratoga turf allowance on August 25. Previously, he finished fifth in the Grade II Hall of Fame Stakes, which was originally scheduled for the turf, at Saratoga on August 10. On July 14, he finished fifth in the Grade III American Derby at Arlington Park. He sports a career record of two wins, two seconds and a third from 15 starts with earnings of $308,714.
R.A. Hill Stable and Shirley K Stable's Corinthian's Jewel could be the colt peaking at the right time. Last year, the Kentucky-bred conditioned by George Weaver made one start and finished sixth. This year, the son of Corinthian has made three starts and he has won his last two. On July 6, he broke his maiden going a mile-and a sixteenth on the Monmouth Park turf. He followed by posting a 1¼-length score in the mile-and-an-eighth $60,000 Restoration Stakes at Monmouth Park on August 19.
"He made one start at two and we started with him again in late May," said Weaver. "He is relatively lightly raced, but he has been improving. We were happy with his second-place finish in his debut this year. He improved again to break his maiden and he improved again to win the overnight stake at Monmouth. He has been improving this whole season and we are very happy with him. We are just hoping he takes another step forward this Saturday."

At the Venice Architecture Biennale 2010 Lisbon firm Aires Mateus Architects are exhibiting these houses with sandy floors called Casa Areia. The project comprises seaside accommodation made of wooden frames covered in natural fibres. Sand covers the floor in the kitchen and living space, connecting them to the beach and landscape outside.
The architects: "This project was build on the sand that is a natural and abundant material that was transported to the interior of the common places (the living room and the kitchen) giving this way the connection between the environment and the new and totally integrated construction.

to the latest reviewer: are you kidding me about the cast. henry is the best superman actor ever, and aquaman was really good. I think they could have done better casting for batman and the flash, but don't tell me the rest is bad, its not. Weird fans out there. Cant wait to buy this movie on blu ray, it was very good.
My girlfriend and I left and went to another movie, and I'm a big Dc fan. This was,.......I dunno, empty of something. The cast was poorly chosen, and the story had holes big enough to encapsulate the grand canyon. Gal was okay, but the rest, horrid.
Probably the worst superhero movie to date. I won't bother with paying to see a sequel.
I've seen this movie 5 times, gal gadot is a gorgeous babe broad
I loved this movie because I watched from the beginning to the end.
Complete outrage for this movie. Walked out after half of the movie. Could not take it anymore. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED
Movie isn't worth seeing once. Don't listen to the person that said they have seen this movie 3 times. They don't know a good movie if they have ever seen one. This is far off from a good movie. Answers that you have questions for and you are left hanging. Complete utter trash. Will never watch this again or any other dc movie for that matter
It's the Justice League, the gold standard of comic book characters. Movie is fun, exciting, like reading a comic book. Go see it, seen it three times.
excellent movie. would have been 5 stars if there was more Wonder Woman.
Movie is trash. Listen to us 1 star rating reviewers because we are right and the 5 star reviews are wrong

I'm really curious about hydrofoils and their use for light-wind riding. I've read that a much smaller kite size can be used with them. Can anyone comment on how much smaller of a kite can typically be used?
For example, if I'm using a 15M kite for light winds could I expect to drop down to a 12M or maybe even less? Sure, it will depend on conditions, the kite, rider skill, etc. - but ballpark estimate, what's the advantage gained with a foilboard?

This chorus has played an influential role by healing and boosting the emotions of children and teens with chronic and terminal diseases. One man instills in their hearts hopeful visions of tomorrow. His name is John Beltzer, a Forest Hills resident who founded the Songs of Love Foundation in 1996.
As of October 20, 23,333 ill children spanning age one to 21 have received their Song of Love, which is an original composition created by diverse songwriters and singers, commissioned by Songs of Love.
Most often, brochures are mailed to hospitals nationally, and a child's parents completes a profile sheet with their child's name and information on their hobbies, special interests, pets, friends, and family members. Then the child receives the gift of a personalized song in their favorite genre, such as pop, kids, R&B, rock, alternative, rap, classical, or jazz.
Songs of Love is located at 107-40 Queens Boulevard, and consists of three full-time staff members who work with 40 songwriters nationally. To date, songs have been composed in at least 30 languages, so every culture can be included.
As a result of Songs of Love's great success locally and nationally, Beltzer expanded his operation to Brazil, where 200 children have received their Song of Love.
A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Beltzer settled in Brooklyn at age 8, and by age 15 he moved to Forest Hills. He convinced his father to buy him a drum set, and taught himself how to play the drums, followed by piano and guitar. His fraternal twin brother Julio played guitar.
They composed songs together and formed a top 40 band called Cameon. In 1984, two months before Julio died at age 24, he composed a song called "Songs of Love." In January 1996, after Beltzer came off a record deal which did not materialize, he experienced "an epiphany to create a national non-profit organization," which he named "Songs of Love" in his brother's memory.
Songs of Love inspires children struggling with chronic diseases, as well as physical disabilities.
"We use songs as tools of healing on a mass scale," said Beltzer, who estimated that 70 percent of children who received their Song of Love are alive today. If a child dies, their song is played at their funeral. "This keeps the beauty and spirit of the child alive forever in song," he added.
Throughout history, music has proven to be therapeutic. Songs of Love has received thousands of letters of gratitude.
"A typical story involves a child undergoing chemotherapy and hearing their song during the treatment," Beltzer explained. "This helps alleviate their pain, fear, and trauma, and builds self-esteem. When you hear a song you like, it promotes feelings of wellness, and the brain releases feel-good chemicals such as serotonin and endorphins. Parents tried to share many things with their child, but nothing worked. Only a 'Song of Love' made them smile."
A case in point is 12 year-old Makayla Redmon of Arverne, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in January 2012, and treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Her story is a beacon of hope.
"I got my Songs of Love disc during chemo in March 2012, and each time I listened to it, I felt happier and better," she said. "It made me feel like people actually cared. On all the long trips to and from the hospital, my family and I would sing along. The song was a rap, and I called it 'Makayla's Song.' It was sung by a church choir in Texas."
Redmon explained how she played it for her family in California and North Carolina and her friends. Her mother posted it on Facebook. She skyped with her Grandma Sherry, Aunt Aimee, and cousin and best friend Hailee. At Long Island Jewish Hospital, she also shared it with her social worker Ingrid, her doctor Sandra Cohen, P.A., her child life specialist Faye Brick, and nurses in P.A.C.T 4, where she received her treatment. Makayla also starred in a Songs of Love commercial.
On October 22nd, Redmon received her PET and CAT Scan to determine if she has fully recovered. With utmost gratitude, she stated, "I hope that any kids that Songs of Love helps after me gets at least half the enjoyment that I did."
Songs of Love's success is evident in media coverage including EXTRA, CBS News, 60 Minutes, The Today Show, Dateline, NBC News NY, ABC World News, BBC, CBS Early Show, Hallmark Heroes with Regis Philbin, NY Times, People magazine, and USA Today.
In 2001, Britney Spears attended a special performance at her Massachusetts camp, where her campers wrote, recorded, and performed a Song of Love for a sick child. Songs of Love engaged thousands of Black Eyed Peas fans at their concert to mark the 10,000th recording.
Sesame Street's Bob McGrath and 15,000 Mets fans recorded the 12,000th song at Shea Stadium. For their 20,000th song, Jason Mraz recorded "Love Is All Around." Other celebrities included Billy Joel, Nancy Sinatra, and Jamie Lynn-Sigler.
"It would be fantastic to have American Idol's Adam Lambert work with Songs of Love," said Beltzer, referring to Lambert's multi-octave range, charismatic performances, and congenial nature. "His stardom would bring greater awareness and funding for our charity to help more children."
Lambert has a history of fundraising for charitable causes such as classroom supplies through DonorsChoose.org, Red Cross, The Trevor Project, and Charity:Water.
Beltzer explained his vision for the future. "We want our organization to grow, so we can reach out to as many children as we can, to help alleviate their stress, fear, and pain through our medicine of music. Now we are producing songs for 1,000 children annually, but before the economy crashed, we were helping 3,000 children annually."
In spring 2013, Beltzer envisions turning Forest Hills' MacDonald Park into a live recording studio through their program, "Raising Funds, Raising Voices."
"We would teach our audience a song over a pre-existing track and record their voices," he explained. "I would like to invite all businesses, politicians, and the public, since it would be wonderful to have the whole community behind our cause. Let's cover Forest Hills with a blanket of healing melodies."
On October 30, the Jackie Greene Band Charity Concert Series will be at Mexicali Live in Teaneck, NJ. To purchase tickets for this event and to donate to help a sick child, visit www.songsoflove.org. The public can also call 1-800-960-SONG or "like" their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/SongsOfLove

I told you in my last post that I had an "announcement to shock the world", whilst it might not quite be in the world shocker that I promised, it's still rather important!
Have you guessed what it is yet? The Angry Medic and HospitalPhoenix have speculated in the comments section of my previous post and they weren't far off the mark.
You might be surprised to hear that the main reason for our trip to Cambridge wasn't to stalk The Angry Medic (sorry Angry...) It was to return to the point where missbliss and I had our first date. Come on...surely you can see where this is going now.
And so...the announcement!

Eurovision Song Contest: Top 10
BBC News – May 13, 2007
Now that the competition is over for another year it is time to assess how well they did. The panel's members included former contest winner Sandra Kim (Belgium 1986) and dedicated Eurovision enthusiasts from across Europe.
50 years of Eurovision memories
BBC News – May 20, 2005
This year's event is the biggest yet with 39 countries taking part. Some famous faces who have taken part in Eurovision talk about their memories from the big night – and why it has lasted so long.
Latvia basks in Eurovision glory
CNN – May 24, 2003
Up to 600 million viewers across Europe watched the small Baltic state's first victory in the contest propelling Latvia into the limelight and offering it the chance to promote its culture and tourist attractions as 2003 host. As the foreign minister of the previous winner Estonia said in a news release: "Eurovision in Estonia — a billion-dollar advertisement for a tiny state. The Latvian government and its host capital Riga can look forward to seeing £5 million (7 million euros) roll in from the record number of visitors expected to watch Saturday's contest. "It will introduce Europe to our country.

Eurovision is set to make song and dance in the US
Times Online – Jun 5, 2006
–>By Adam Sherwin Media Correspondentdiv#related-article-links p a div#related-article-links p a:visited {color:#06c;}IT IS a byword for disasters both musical and sartorial but now the Eurovision Song Contest is going global with a prime-time remake on American network television. Executives are desperate to find a challenger to the Fox television network's American Idol the talent show that generated 63 million votes for last month's final more votes than any US president has received. The furore caused by the Finnish metal-monsters Lordi who swept to victory in the 51st Eurovision this year has convinced the NBC network that the answer lies in "old Europe". Under a deal with the European Broadcasting Union NBC will adapt Eurovision as a state-by-state song contest. It is the first time that the Geneva-based network of national broadcasters has licensed the format outside Europe.
Estonia wins Eurovision Song Contest
CNN – May 13, 2001
The pair who follow in the footsteps of Abba Celine Dion Gina G and Nana Mouskouri comfortably headed the 23-nation field with 198 points. This year's 23 countries took part in the contest staged in Copenhagen Denmark in front of a live audience of more than 40000. An estimated 200 million people in 30 countries were expected to have watched the contest on TV. Padar was part of the backing vocals for the Estonian artist Ines who previously represented Estonia at the contest.

(April 10, 2002) -- The best utilities in the country deliver electricity to customers about 99.99 of the time. Sometimes referred to as "four nines" reliability, 99.99-percent power reliability is considered excellent by industry measures.
But for some pharmaceutical firms, health-care facilities or credit-card companies, even having electricity 99.99 percent of the time isn't good enough. Such customers operate at five or six "nines" of reliability -- 99.999 or even higher.
"We have customers who can't afford to be without power -- ever," said Mark Kruger, director of Power Protection Solutions in Progress Energy's Energy Services Department. "For them, even a few seconds in the dark represent lost product, lost data, lost service -- all adding up to lost revenues."
Kruger added that as long as there are lightning, storms, animals or other uncontrollable factors that cause problems, no electrical utility anywhere can be 100 percent reliable.
That's why CP&L and Florida Power offer customers Power Protection Solutions -- a family of solutions designed for commercial and industrial customers whose operations demand greater reliability and power quality than can be offered by a utility's delivery system.
This year, Power Protection Solutions includes four product and service offerings: Premier PowerTM, Turnkey Solutions, Managed Services and SecureSite.TM Each is designed to meet the needs of various customers -- from high-tech office buildings to research facilities -- with tailored flexibility, including equipment, expert advice and maintenance.
Premier Power: This service provides customers with utility-owned onsite generating equipment to serve as a back-up power source if service is interrupted. It also gives CP&L and Florida Power the flexibility to dispatch generation when it economically benefits the system. The customer pays a fixed monthly fee that appears on the utility bill. Premier Power provides back-up generation in sizes ranging from 200 to 3,500 kW in the Carolinas, and 200 kW and more in Florida.
Turnkey Solutions: This service provides power quality and reliability while allowing the customer to own and maintain the equipment. Typically, the equipment provided includes generators, uninterrupted power supply systems and transient voltage surge suppression. Power Protection Solutions designs, contracts, schedules, installs and, at the customer's option, maintains the system.
Managed Services: Managed Services is a cost-effective program that provides the customer with a reliable power system and maintenance plan. Charging only a monthly service fee, the Power Protection Solutions team will design, install, commission and service the system. Like Turnkey Solutions, typical equipment includes generators, uninterrupted power supply systems, and transient voltage surge suppression. Unlike Turnkey Solutions, however, CP&L or Florida Power maintains ownership of Managed Service installations, where permitted by law.
SecureSite: This service is an integrated reliability solution specifically designed for data centers, critical research and development operations, online trading, and e-businesses. It offers the power reliability of Premier Power with other critical systems such as precise temperature and humidity control, continuous monitoring, maintenance and repair, and broadband access. As with Premier Power, CP&L or Florida Power owns, operates and maintains all equipment for a fixed monthly fee.
Springboard Managed Hosting in Cary, N.C., is a Premier Power customer. Rich Lee, chief executive officer, said it offers his company the reliability needed to serve its own customers.
"We at Springboard Managed Hosting have been very pleased with CP&L's Premier Power program," Lee said. "We are a data center and Web host, and our customers demand 99.999 percent availability from our infrastructure. Outsourcing our generator needs to CP&L and knowing that it is tested and maintained weekly gives us the ability to focus on our core competencies."
Kruger said that despite the recent downturn in the "dot-com" economy, there are still plenty of companies that require an uninterrupted supply of power.
"Throughout 2002, we will focus on several key market segments -- commercial developers and property managers, institutional and governmental agencies, health-care facilities, and digital-economy and mission-critical operations," Kruger said. "We offer comprehensive, unique solutions that despite recent economic hardships can only help position companies for growth and profitability."
Power Protection Solutions has installed distributed generation resources to address the critical power needs of customers since 1998. At the end of 2001, CP&L and Florida Power had developed company-owned power solutions for 15 sites representing 14.5 MW of generation capacity. The department plans to add at least 50 MW of installed capacity within the next five years.
"As the marketplace becomes increasingly competitive, companies will seek solutions that offer them an edge over rivals," Kruger said. "We believe Power Protection Solutions represents a true competitive edge."

Optimized INA Profile
The new outer ring outside surface – the optimized INA profile – leads to reduced Hertzian pressure between the outer ring and mating track compared to conventional profiles.
The reduction in the Hertzian pressure reduces the load on the mating track, as shown here for the material GGG-50. Tests schow that this reduction has a pominent influence on the wear of the mating track.
|y: Wear [g] after 360 000 overrolling cycles
x: Radial load [kN]
y: Mean running time [%]
|Running Time
Depending on the load, the new profile has a positive influence on the fatigue life of the mating track, as shown here for the material 42 CrMo4V. This leads to significantly longer mating track life or, alternatively the option of using more economical mateials.
The optimized INA profile reduces the Hertzian pressure in the contact zone. This gives decisive user benefits

lumensolutions necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo design for a professional engineering / new product development firm. Needs to be simple yet eye catching.
Lumen Solutions
Need a logo design that is modern / stylish, but not too web2.0ish. Simplicity and "professionalism" is preferred.
Lumen Solutions does professional engineering consulting (electronics design) and new product development (the products have their own brands and logos, separate from the parent company.)
This logo will be used on the website, business cards, etc. So it needs to scale well, and look good with both white and black backgrounds. The logo should also come out OK when printed in black and white.
I'm not looking for a rehash of the existing logo, but for reference, the existing logo is here (the new logo will need to take off the "Inc." - just "Lumen Solutions") : http://www.lumensol.com/logo_med.jpg
- Needs to say: "Lumen Solutions"
- The logo can be 1 or 2 lines, but prefer a banner style rectangle (short and wide vs. a square box.)
- Both words need to be equally weighted.
- The lettering can be the same size, or the "L" and "S" can be over sized.
- Basic art is OK, but want to avoid complex clip art.

Hi all, in Orthodox does this verse predict the coming of Jesus or the Prophet Mosses?Please, elaborate on your statements, thank you.Deuteronomy 18:15-18"15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die."17 The Lord said to me: "What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him."
This post gave me autism.
If this verse predicting Christ, why is it referring as just a Prophet then, not a Son of God or a Messiah? I thought it was revering to the Prophet Moses..

Then two vertices were joined by a line. A line segment.
Then three line segments formed a polygon with three sides. Triangle.
Joined by a fourth line, the polygon became a quadrilateral. Trapezoid. Parallelogram. Square.
A fifth line segment formed the pentagon. Pentagram. Pentacle. Star.
Moving through the seventh grade geometry was about the evolution of shape and its properties as it transformed from a single point to a pentagram. Much like the evolution of the universe from a single particle to the infinite stars.
On a human level, the sacred geometry was discovered in the ebb and flow of the Nile River. The ancient Egyptians used the magical 12-knotted rope to plot perfect right angles for crop fields whose boundaries were washed away with the seasonal floods of the Nile. They discovered the aesthetic quality of the golden ratio to design the Great Pyramids. Centuries later, Thales of Miletus establishes theorems to formalize geometry.
On a more personal level, Leonardo Pisano aka Fibonacci was fascinated - no, obsessed - with numbers all around him. Unlike his up and coming Renaissance counterparts who found beauty through paint and marble, he found beauty in nature's numbers. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... The same numbers seemed to appear everywhere. Mother Nature revealed herself to Fibonacci - it was the growth pattern of the universe.
The universe, indeed, for the Fibonacci numbers even reflected the approximate lengths of the lines of a pentagram. Each line, in relation to the next longest or shortest line, was close to the ratio of 1.618 to 1, the golden ratio, phi.
The seventh grade students discovered the golden ratio in the star. But they did not have to look to the stars to find it, for in their own fingertips, they held the golden ratio in the lenghts of their bones. The point was driven home once again, we are connected to the universe.
Our study of geometry took us to the introduction of measuring volume in cubes, cylinders, and spheres. In art, we continued to refine our skills in manipulating light and shadow. With an advanced technique of drawing black and white on blue paper, we got some magnificent effects of contrast and realism in the study of a hand holding a cube.

Sherrilynne Fuller's presentation, Prevention Informatics
ASIS&T Lecture Series Award Winner 2010
Dr. Sherrilynne Fuller to speak about Prevention Informatics on April 11
[download flyer]
Dr. Sherrilynne Fuller, Professor of Biomedical and Health Informatics at the University of Washington, will speak in Lexington, KY, at 4PM on Monday, April 11, on the topic of From intervention Informatics to prevention informatics. The lecture will take place at the downtown Hyatt Regency Lexington Hotel (401 West High Street) at 4PM, in conjunction with the annual Public Health Systems and Services Research (PHSSR) Keeneland Conference. A reception will follow the lecture.
The lecture will be the first in an annual series funded by the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). This years lecture funding went to the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) of the University of Kentucky. Other co-sponsors include the UK College of Communication and Information Studies (CCIS), the College of Public Health (CPH), and the Ohio River Valley chapter of ASIS&T (ORVASIST).
Dr. Fullers speech will focus on her work on developing health information systems (from individual patient records to building integrated databases and tools to support disease surveillance). She will discuss how the established model of information systems to support intervention is leading to what she calls "prevention informatics, in which information systems help prevent disease in the first place. She will discuss how the use of information and communications technologies for improving health in low resource settings. She believes that many of the information systems problems in developing countries are mirrored in a variety of ways in the United States.
Dr. Fuller is a Professor in both the School of Public Health and the Information School, of the University of Washington. Professor Fuller is also Co-Director of the UW Center for Public Health Informatics. She received her BA (Biology) and MLS (information Science) degrees from Indiana University and her PhD (Information Science) from the University of Southern California.

In 1850 Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, causing a furor among Northerners since it legally forced all citizens to pursue runaway slaves and return them to their owners. In response, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which portrayed slaves with human qualities and Christian ideals. This challenged her readers to reexamine their definitions of Christianity and the role of slavery in a Christian society. She further described the horrors of slavery and examined the negative moral impact to both Northerners and Southerners. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" became one of America's all-time best sellers, selling 300,000 copies in the first year. It is credited with keeping slavery as a central national issue in the years preceeding the Civil War. When President Lincoln met Stowe in 1863, he was reported as saying, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war."

Comedian Fools KTLA Into Believing His Nerd Character Is Real
Nathan Barnatt is probably familiar to fans of the Upright Citizens Brigade, and beloved by classic video game fans for his Keith Apicary character. Keith is a completely clueless nerd who loves two things: video games and dancing. He's instantly recognizable to meme fans...but not, apparently, to a professional news organization which has paid fact checkers to keep them from being fooled like this.
This all started when Barnatt crashed a dance audition in character and the video hit the Internet, appalling dancers and cracking up everyone else. So, KTLA, a respected local Los Angeles TV affiliate, sent out a reporter to interview him...completely unaware they were speaking to an actor.
There's a wonderful moment when Apicary realizes that A) this is going out live, and B) this poor reporter has absolutely no idea who he is...in short, he's given a moment comedians only dream of, and runs with it. Our favorite moment might be when he compliments the newscaster on looking like a video game character, and she claims to "hear that all the time."
What makes this especially funny is that Barnatt has worked steadily in film, television, and commercials for years. If you enter "Keith Apicary" into Google, his Wikipedia entry is the second result. So KTLA's got nobody to blame but themselves for this one, and Barnatt is, yet again, the Internet's hero.
If you want more Apicary, here's his rap tribute to an obscure console from the '90s:

The Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand was founded in 1991 by Dawn Sanders following a visit by Sam Wanamaker to New Zealand the previous year. From 1992, Dawn Sanders set upon establishing a programme of education-based activities, including workshops and the annual Sheilah Winn Festival of Shakespeare in Schools.
The New Zealand Hangings
New Zealand's first involvement with the Globe project came when a member of the Wellington Shakespeare Society read about the construction process in a Times newspaper supplement. A proposal was put forward by the Society that New Zealand could make a contribution by donating a set of embroidered hangings, made from its world famous wool, to adorn the frons scenae of the Globe Theatre stage. Dawn Sanders became the Project Manager of the Hangings' Project.
Between January 1990 and April 1991, 500 embroiderers from around New Zealand worked devotedly to produce four hangings depicting Hercules and Atlas (the two logos of Shakespeare's theatre company, The King's Men), and Venus and Adonis (alluding to Shakespeare's most famous poem of the same name).
Little was known of the original Globe Theatre's stage hangings and it took Raymond Boyce, the Executive Designer of the Hangings, a year of painstaking research to complete the designs.
The discovery in St Albans of an Elizabethan fresco depicting the popular tale of Venus and Adonis provided the perfect story to be depicted in the two larger hangings. In keeping with Elizabethan narrative illustrations, the entire story is depicted in the Venus hanging. The Adonis hanging portrays the special regard in which animals, birds, insects, and fish held the beauty of the boy.
The two narrower hangings of Atlas (holding up the Globe) and Hercules (symbol of strength and courage) were designed for the central door of the stage leading to the 'discovery space'. The designs relate to the Roman style favoured by Northern Europeans in Shakespeare's time.
In 1993, the Hangings were transferred from the Wellington Shakespeare Society to the SGC NZ, who were to oversee their year-long international tour. After being viewed by 500,000 people in NZ, the Hangings went on to be seen by a total of 300,000 people in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Chicago, Toronto and London.
On 22nd April 1994, the Hangings were unveiled by the Globe's patron HRH Prince Philip and in June 1997, they adorned the frons scenae throughout the fortnight-long Festival of Firsts to celebrate the official opening of the Globe Theatre. Today, they hang in pride of place in the UnderGlobe of Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition.
The SGC NZ has a thriving education department. Working with students, teachers, actors and directors, it organises workshops, encourages NZ schools to participate in GlobeLink, and initiates fundraising projects like the Prospero Project.
The highlight of the yearly programme is the annual Sheilah Winn Festival of Shakespeare for Schools, named after the patron of SGC NZ. Students from around the country perform short scenes from Shakespeare at regional festivals. Representatives from each area then perform at the national festival in Wellington in June, where there is also the opportunity for both students and teachers to participate in specially organised workshops and associated events.
Each year, the SGC NZ Young Shakespeare Company comes to England, spending time at the Globe participating in summer schools activities, and in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Our CFD research focuses on electronics cooling of high power density packages (~1kW/m^2) where computer cooling fans provide forced air convection and a heat exchanger/cold plate assemblage, which has a pumped fluid loop integrated within it, employs internal fluid flow to serve as an effective heat sink for the power dissipation.
Our current research is aimed at modeling the heat exchanger/cold plate apparatus from k-core (k = 1100 W/m-K) material and hence showing the positive effects k-core has on enhanced heat transfer spreading. Also we are looking at fault simulations, i.e. thermal runaway of a component/chip/card when thermal contact resistance is a choke.
Fully coupled convection, conduction and radiation are being used with STAR-CCM+ v8.04. Correlations against theoretical hand-book predictions of the form h (W/m^2-K)=A*T^1/4. h (W/m^2-K)=B*V^1/2 and thermal resistance vs. thermal conductivity of the gasket material are shown for a typical range of simulation parameters.
STAR-CCM+ v8.04 with fully conjugate heat transfer/fluid flow analysis was used to perform the simulations. The systems level model included fan inlets having a polynomial curve fit for the fan law (pressure drop vs. flow rate) and the thermal interfaces between chip/components/boards/heat sinks, etc. was modeled using the solid/solid interface capabilities within STAR-CCM+.
This systems level CFD research performed at our non-linear FEA/CFD multi-physics lab at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, Mechanical Engineering Department has showcased the abilities our CFD lab has in providing turn-key simulations run on a series of 64-bit dell quad-core and six-core power-workstations. Such bench top real-world CFD simulations are of practical interest to practicing thermal control systems engineers engaged in electronic packaging and systems level thermal management solutions.
This research has demonstrated our CFD lab's ability to provide accurate, reliable, value-added engineering thermal design solutions in a timely fashion.

Adnan Hodzic, a four-year starter for the Lipscomb basketball team, signed a one-year contract Tuesday to play professionally with the Walter Tigers of the German BBL League.
"It's a great and emotional feeling that those years of hard work are paying off," Hodzic said. "I feel blessed to be playing in a premier league the first year out of college."
The Tigers are located in Tübingen, Germany, and play a 35-game schedule that runs from October until April. There are 18 teams in the BBL League, all located in Germany.
Hodzic gives credit for being able to play professionally to the Lipscomb coaching staff and his teammates.
"I wouldn't be here without the mentoring and development work of Coach Sanderson and the rest of my coaches and teammates."
The process of signing with the Walter Tigers began about six weeks ago when its coach, Igor Perovic, began expressing interest to one of Hodzic's agents. Perovic is Serbian which allows him and Hodzic to communicate without a language barrier.
"Hodzic has been one of the major players and best scorers across all NCAA conferences in the last three years," Perovic said in a written statement on the team's website. "He is an exceptionally aggressive basketball player and is hard to stop near the basket."
General Manager Robert Wintermantel thought Hodzic would bring passion to the team.
"He is a top player with top qualities that also shows a positive body language," Wintermantel said. "This is very important for the success of a team that was missing last season. Now we have two emotional leaders with [Vaughn] Duggins and him."
Hodzic says the Tigers will be a young team this year, but he's already excited about his future teammates.
He will be joined in the frontcourt by Tyrone Nash, a 6-foot-8 power forward out of Notre Dame, and guard Vaughn Duggins, a three-time All-Horizon League selection at Wright State.
Wintermantel has told media outlets that Hodzic will be the starting center for the Tigers.
"Getting to play and make an impact right away is not something that you can easily substitute for somewhere else," Hodzic said.
Hodzic was a three-time First Team All-Atlantic Sun Selection, an Associated Press All-American, and Lipscomb's NCAA-era career leading scorer with 2,002 points.
Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson praised Hodzic as one of the players most deserving to play professionally in his 25 years of coaching.
"Adnan has put in a lot of hours and they've paid off," Sanderson said. "As good of a person he is on the floor, he's even a better person off the floor. I'm excited for him to get this opportunity."
Hodzic will represent his home nation of Bosnia at the EuroBasket Championship in Lithuania next month. He leaves for training camp with the national team on Saturday.
"It's all still a surreal feelings," Hodzic said. "My family and I are ecstatic for the opportunity to play professionally."

Actress Viola Davis shared how she met the love her life, husband Julian Tennon.
The "Beautiful Creatures" star says that just three weeks after praying for a good man, she met her soul mate in Julian. Viola shared, "I was the loneliest woman in the world, and someone said, 'You should just pray for a husband.'" And she did just that. "I said I wanted a big black man from the South who looked like a football player, who already had children, who maybe had been married before. Three and a half weeks later, I met my husband."
Julian was a single dad of two sons when they met on the set of City of Angels, "He was the anesthesiologist, Dr. Holly, and I was Nurse Lannett. We were passing blood in a scene. He knew how lonely I was. I was out in L.A. and I hated it and he said, 'I'll show you around Los Angeles. I'll show you around the Santa Monica pier."
The two have been married for nine years (and are now the parents of a two year old daughter) and Viola says it was magical from the first moment. "We've been together thirteen years, and from the first day, it was magic."
Viola and Julian will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary in June!

Guggenheim Baseball bought the Dodgers this year for $2 billion, more than twice the amount ever spent on a baseball team. The new owners have not stopped spending.
Just last weekend, the team committed more than $200 million to two pitchers, one of whom never has thrown a pitch in a major league game. The projected player payroll next year stands at about $225 million, which means the Dodgers would dethrone the New York Yankees as the biggest spenders in baseball history.
In all, the Dodgers' new owners have invested close to $1 billion in player contracts, stadium renovations and the purchase of controlling interest in the stadium parking lots.
Is this the folly of novice owners, or a shrewd business model?
Sports business analysts run the numbers, and they see red. Marc Ganis, a sports business consultant, said the Dodgers have to keep the payroll in line, attract more fans and corporate sponsors, and get them to pay more.

Elk Hoof Disease
There were 14 questions found in this category:
What causes Elk Hoof Disease?
Treponeme-associated hoof disease (TAHD) of elk is considered to be a form of digital dermatitis, which is an infectious bacterial hoof disease affecting cattle, sheep and goats. Digital dermatitis is a "polymicrobial" disease, meaning that more than one species of bacteria is involv ...
Where in the state does Elk Hoof Disease occur?
WDFW has received sporadic reports from observers in the Cowlitz River Basin of southwest Washington since the mid-1990s. Since 2008, reports have increased and spread west to Pacific County, north to Lewis County and south to Clark County. In December of 2015, preliminary tests indicate bacter ...
How is the Elk Hoof Disease transmitted?
Scientists do not know for certain how the disease is transmitted. However, they believe infected animals may carry the bacteria to new areas on their hooves, where the bacteria survive in moist soil until infecting the hooves of other animals.
Is there any treatment for Elk Hoof Disease?
Once the disease is present in an elk herd, it is very difficult to eradicate it and the challenge becomes how to minimize its effect. It's important to remember that there is no vaccine for this type of bacterial disease, either for livestock or for wildlife. Similar diseases in domestic anima ...
Can we give the elk antibiotic injections or medicated feed?
It's important to recognize that there is no vaccine for this type of bacterial disease, either for livestock or for wildlife. The livestock industry has been looking for a way to prevent their animals from contracting the disease for more than 20 years without success. Some livestock prod ...
Would using mineral blocks or supplemental feed help?
Good nutrition and trace minerals such as copper, selenium, and zinc are known to be good for domestic animals, but they would not likely prevent or cure hoof disease in elk. Further, providing mineral blocks or supplemental feed could cause elk to congregate at higher densities, promoting cond ...
Is the disease contagious to other animals or humans?
We do not know whether elk hoof disease can be transmitted to domestic animals. Veterinarians from southwest Washington say they have not seen increases in diseases in domestic animals that might be associated with hoof disease in elk. There is no reason to believe that elk hoof disease is con ...
Is Elk Hoof Disease contagious to humans?
There is no reason to believe that elk hoof disease is contagious to humans. Similar diseases in livestock do not affect humans. Hundreds of elk have been harvested in southwest Washington since the disease first appeared in 2008, and WDFW is not aware of any cases of human disease that have be ...
Is the meat from affected elk safe to eat?
Microscopic examination of tissues, including meat, from elk affected by hoof disease has not revealed evidence of infection, inflammation, or any other indication that the meat is unsuitable for human consumption. In all animals inspected to date, the disease has been limited to the hooves, an ...
Can I get a new tag if I harvest an animal with hoof disease?
Since all evidence to date indicates that the meat of elk with hoof disease is not affected by the condition, WDFW will not provide replacement tags.
How can hunters and other members of the public help?
Hunters can help WDFW track elk hoof disease by reporting observations of affected and unaffected elk on the department's online reporting form at http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/health/hoof_disease/. If you hike or drive off-road in the known affected area, you can help minimize the r ...
What should I do if I harvest an elk with hoof disease?
In every case examined to date, the meat from animals affected by hoof disease has been normal and is most likely safe to consume. If you harvest an elk with hoof disease, remove the feet and field dress the animal as you normally would. Since this disease may be transmissible to other suscept ...
What is WDFW doing about Elk Hoof Disease?
WDFW veterinary and biological staff have undertaken an exhaustive diagnostic effort to determine the cause of this disease, as summarized in a detailed poster and slide presentation. These efforts have allowed us to rule out a number of potential causes of elk hoof disease and narrow down the ...
Are herbicides a likely cause of hoof disease?
There is no scientific evidence that chemicals cause this kind of disease in animals, and no link has been made between herbicides and hoof disease in any species that WDFW is aware of to date. Timber companies use similar herbicide treatments along the West Coast, yet elk populations in other ...

Man the Skins offense was horrible and their Defense wasn't much better. Someone please post something cause I am really bored!!
Man the Skins offense was horrible and their Defense wasn't much better. Someone please post something cause I am really bored!!
The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
I wish today was Sunday. I can't wait!
About the game last night: Even though the Redskins didn't really make much of a game out of it, Brandon Jacobs and Plaxico Burress were sure fun to watch. Jacobs is a beast and he was flattening defenders last night. That poor safety will forever be on his highlight reel. They replayed him getting run over probably 20 times last night. Plaxico looks like he may have a monster year. The Giants looked better on defense than I had thought they would after losing Strahan and Umenyiora. There may be some reason for concern with their inability to finish drives after Eli capped the opening possesion with a TD run. However, it was the first game of the season and Carney made all his kicks so they at least have that if they stall out. All in all, I'd give the Giants a B+ and the Redskins, a D (looks like they need one after last night).
Thanks for all the yards, TDs, and memories, Priest!
It looked like the Giants were going to rout the Skins at first. Then they kept being held to field goals. Then punts. But I think a B+ vs. a D is an accurate grade for both teams. And yes, Jacobs and Burress did fabulous and were almost the entire run and pass game for Big Blue. I think the Skins are lilely to finish last in their division, with the Eagles third, and the Cowgirls and Giants battling it out for first.
The Eagles could surprise and get into the race for the division but they need to get healthy and stay that way, first. Their receivers are banged up and if McNabb goes out again this season, Philly may be done with him. They aren't exactly the nicest or most forgiving fans out there.
Thanks for all the yards, TDs, and memories, Priest!

Currently tied atop the Group B standings with Morelia, the Revs look to seal a spot in the SuperLiga 2010 semifinals on Saturday night against the Chicago Fire | Watch Now >> | MatchCenter >>
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution had never faced Pumas UNAM prior to claiming a 1-0 victory over the Mexican club in the SuperLiga 2010 Group B opener on Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium. It's safe to say the Revs will have a slightly higher level of familiarity with their next opponent.
The Revolution (1-0-0, 3 pts.) continues the group stage of SuperLiga 2010 against fellow MLS side Chicago Fire (0-1-0, 0 pts.) on Saturday, July 17, at Toyota Park. New England and Chicago have played 37 times in the regular season, but it's been repeated postseason matchups which have fueled one of the league's most heated rivalries. The sides have met in the MLS Cup Playoffs eight times – amounting to 15 total matches – including each of the last five seasons.
Although the Revs had a firm upper hand in the series for a number of years, recent seasons have seen the tide turn in favor of the Fire. In fact, New England hasn't beaten Chicago in a regular-season match since May 2007, going 0-5-2 in the last seven league meetings, while the Fire eliminated the Revs from the playoffs in both 2008 and 2009. Most recently, Chicago claimed a 1-0 win over New England in a league game on June 27 at Gillette Stadium.
"For sure," said central defender Darrius Barnes when asked if he expected another intense meeting on Saturday night. "They're coming off a loss – a pretty disappointing loss – in their opening round of SuperLiga."
While the Revolution made an ideal start to its SuperLiga campaign with a shutout victory over Pumas, the Fire had quite a different experience against Monarcas Morelia at Toyota Park. Three first-half goals staked Morelia to an insurmountable 3-0 halftime lead and the Mexicans continued to pile it on in the second half en route to a 5-1 victory.
The results leave the Revs tied with Morelia atop the Group B standings on three points apiece, while the Fire and Pumas are still searching for their first points of the competition. Considering the clubs' positions in the group standings, Chicago will desperate for a result on Saturday night to keep its hopes of advancing to the semifinals alive, while the Revs will be aiming to clinch a spot in the last four of the tournament for the third straight season.
However, perhaps more important to the Fire than a spot in the semifinals is simply saving face following Wednesday night's lopsided loss.
"We know how that feels," said assistant coach Steve Myles, referring to the Revolution's recent 5-0 loss to Real Salt Lake. "You've got to expect they're going to respond to that."
The Revs know well enough how a group of players can rally around a difficult loss. Just one week after conceding a season-high five goals in a shutout loss to defending champion RSL on July 2, the Revolution turned the tables on the league-leading LA Galaxy, earning a 2-0 victory and handing the Western Conference side just its second loss of the season.
With that memory fresh in their minds, the Revs will be cognizant of the emotions the Fire players will be feeling – both positive and negative – as they look to redeem themselves on Saturday night.
"We'll look for them to come back with a good response, but at the same time, we also know what bad results can do for your confidence in terms of a negative effect," said Chris Tierney, in reference to the Revolution's run of one win in 11 games from April to July. "We'll be looking to jump on them early. I think if we get the first goal, we should be in good shape."
Barnes agreed with Tierney's assessment, saying it could prove beneficial for the Revs to get an early lead on a dejected side.
"We're coming off a win, so it's going to be important for us not to get complacent and get content and sit back," said Barnes. "We want to make sure we close this deal out, go in there on the front foot, put the gas down and take it to them from the opening whistle."
The Revolution's newfound confidence to take the game to their opponents is a direct result of the club's performances in the last two games, in which the Revs have earned shutout wins over quality teams. Yet Myles was quick to point out that no one in Revolution camp is resting on their laurels because of the back-to-back victories.
"A couple of wins and all of a sudden there's a little bit of liveliness in the dressing room, and it's nice to see that," he said. "But we're under no illusions. It's early [in this turnaround], we're happy with what's happened, we're certainly happy with a couple of clean sheets – that's been one of the pleasing things – but there's still a lot to work on, and we know that. It's not about celebrating, it's heads down and back to work."

In order to improve public safety and address concerns related to previous accidents and near misses on the Devils Postpile access road, Devils Postpile National Monument will be enforcing a limit of 37 feet for all vehicles or vehicle combinations (truck and trailer) on the access road. The Devils Postpile access road is a very short, narrow, and curvy section of road that provides access to the Devils Postpile Trailhead, ranger station and campground off of the main Devils Postpile/Reds Meadow Road.
Although the size limit on the access road will not entirely eliminate the possibility of accidents and near misses on the roadway, the monument hopes that it will make travel on the road safer for passenger vehicles and the Reds Meadow Shuttle System, which will operate under a special use permit this season.
The monument urges all vehicles on the access road to use extreme caution, even with the new restriction. The road is very narrow, and in many places barely accommodates two passing vehicles.Visibility is extremely limited. The speed limit on the access road is 15 miles per hour and vehicles must obey speed limits at all times.
For commercial tour buses wishing to access Devils Postpile National Monument during the shuttle bus operating season (from mid-June to September 5, 2012 and weekends in September), the Eastern Sierra Transit Authority (ESTA) operates the shuttle bus system and provides for a safer visit.
Shuttle bus service runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ESTA also coordinates chartered services for guests, and this is a recommended option as the shuttle bus drivers have specific training and experience with the hazards of the road, a communication system between buses, and a safety program to mitigate hazards on the road. Please contact the Eastern Sierra Transit Authority at 760.924.3184 to arrange for your group's transportation on the shuttle bus.
For commercial tour buses wishing to arrive outside of the shuttle bus operating season, please contact Devils Postpile National Monument to apply for a commercial use authorization and to discuss access options.
For groups eligible for an educational fee waiver from the Inyo National Forest wishing to arrive in vehicles longer than 37 feet, please contact Devils Postpile National Monument to arrange for a special use permit for entry into the monument.
Visitors planning to camp in the valley with recreational vehicles or vehicle combinations longer than 37 feet are advised to utilize Inyo National Forest campgrounds that accommodate larger vehicles and use the Reds Meadow Shuttle Bus to access Devils Postpile. The shuttle bus is free between Reds Meadow Resort and Agnew Meadows.

FAQ, Known Issues and limitations
- Release specific known issues and workarounds are posted in changelog files.
- Check also the forum threads for posted fixes and workarounds.
- Why screen stays blank or other weird screen issues happen?
- Some hardware doesn't like the KMS activation, use radeon.modeset=0 or i915.modeset=0 on boot prompt.
- dmraid/fakeraid might be broken on some boards, support is not perfect here.
- The reason is there are so many different hardware components out there. At the moment 1.0.0rc16 is included, with latest fedora patchset, development has been stopped.
- mdadm supports some isw and ddf fakeraid chipsets, but assembling during boot is deactivated in /etc/mdadm.conf!
- grub2 cannot detect correct bios boot order:
- It may happen that hd(x,x) entries are not correct, thus first reboot may not work.
- Reason: grub cannot detect bios boot order.
- Fix: Either change bios boot order or change menu.lst to correct entries after successful boot. This cannot be fixed it is a restriction in grub2!
- Why is parted used in setup routine, instead of cfdisk in msdos partitiontable mode?
- parted is the only linux partition program that can handle all type of things the setup routine offers.
- cfdisk cannot handle GPT/GUID nor it can allign partitions correct with 1MB spaces for 4k sector disks.
- cfdisk is a nice tool but is too limited to be the standard partitioner anymore.
- cfdisk is still included but has to be run in an other terminal.
History of old releases can be found here.
Archboot BETA ISO Release
- Hybrid image file is provided, which only supports network installation.
- Please read the according Changelog files for RAM limitations.
- Please check md5sum before using it.
- No beta ISO available at the moment.
Restore Usbstick
Take care about which device actually is your USB stick. The next command will render all data on /dev/sdX inaccessible.
- First, wipe the bootsector of the USB stick:
wipefs -a /dev/sdX
- Then, create a new FAT32 partition on the stick and write a FAT32 filesystem on it (vfat or type b in fdisk terminology):
fdisk /dev/sdX <<EOF n p 1 t b w EOF mkdosfs -F32 /dev/sdX1
Howto: Create image files
(Quick regeneration of installation media with latest available core packages)
- x86_64 architecture
- ~ 3GB free space on disk
Create archboot chroots
# install archboot pacman -S archboot mkdir <x86_64_chroot> pacman --root "<x86_64_chroot>" -S base --noconfirm --noprogressbar mkdir <i686_chroot> linux32 pacman --root "<i686_chroot>" -S base --noconfirm --noprogressbar
- Enter archboot x86_64 container:
systemd-nspawn --capability=CAP_MKNOD -M $1-$(uname -m) -D <x86_64_chroot>
- Enter archboot i686 container:
linux32 systemd-nspawn --capability=CAP_MKNOD -M $1-$(uname -m) -D <i686_chroot>
Install archboot and update to latest packages
# install in both chroots archboot: pacman -S archboot # update in both chroots to latest available packages pacman -Syu
Generate images
# run in both chroots (needs quite some time ...) archboot-allinone.sh -t # put the generated tarballs in one directory and run (needs quite some time ...) archboot-allinone.sh -g
- Finished you get a bunch of images.
Have fun! tpowa (Archboot Developer)

Continuing our focus of identifying alternative narratives to the testing and accountability rhetoric of current reform efforts, I wish to put forth the Common Ground Charter School in New Haven, Connecticut as an example of how we can do education differently.
Common Ground focuses on sustainability,
Through challenging interdisciplinary block classes and core academic classes, student learn about important environmental issues, both global and local. Courses like Environmental Justice, Biodiversity, Ecologia, and Food & The Environment focus squarely on the ecological challenges facing our community and our planet – while also developing the essential skills and understandings students need to succeed in college. Truly unique courses — like Environmental Ventures, where students start and run small businesses using products from the farm — help students apply their passions to environmental challenges. Beyond the core environmental curriculum, every class on campus – from British Literature to Accelerated Algebra – takes on key environmental themes.
Furthermore they understand the value of life as learning, and application of understanding as the best way to demonstrate mastery.
Experiences outside the school building extend academic learning. Our students complete senior projects focused on social justice and environmental topics. They participate in a year-long Green Jobs Corps, taking on paid internships at local environmental organizations and participating in a year-long leadership and career development program.
Here's a great article (watch the video!) that talks about how students are involved in the development of the school, applying their knowledge through proposals to bolster the campus' "greenness," and how their work will be utilized in the real world. These aren't science fair projects or world fair posters that just get trashed.
Their work is real, it is being judged-just like a bid on a project or RFP-for how well it can reduce negative environmental impacts and at what financial cost for actual implementation by the school. That creates authentic feedback for the students, and if you watched the video you know that the kids have to talk about their work, which in my experience is one of the best ways for students to demonstrate their current levels of understanding and mastery of concepts.
Explore their website for yourself as I just scratched the surface of what they are doing. Let's identify what they do really well and what's just more of the same. For example, as they consider themselves a college-prep school, they mention that they are still concerned about SAT's. I think they are in an excellent position to begin supporting students in opting out of standardized testing and putting forth their documented learning and work as suitable preparation for college.
Some colleges have already begun not looking at SAT scores as part of their admissions process. In order for more colleges to adopt this policy, I believe we have to offer them higher-quality alternatives so that they can more confidently justify not asking for scores any longer. Then instead of high schools saying "we emphasize the SAT's because colleges ask for them," we can say "we offer colleges higher-quality assessment of student's proficiency and preparedness such that the SAT's are irrelevant and colleges agree."
What are your examples of current practices that can aid us in innovating beyond standardized tests?
