Re: Cards to Add Requests
Eldarwen, you are doing the right thing! You will see a big increase in about 6-12 months. Good luck!

Re: Cards to Add Requests
This is the main reason why I do not trip when my scores drop. They are like bouncing balls anyway, as long as I know that I am doing the right thing, I don't let it bother me. Why should I trip how long it takes, I am not trying to prove anything to the next creditor anyway. I am not out applying for nothing anytime soon.

Is it just me or...
I don't know if it is just me, but doesn't it seem like you get the bad stuff quicker than the good? What happened to me is that ever since I got my first FICO (was at 736) it steadily dropped (to 702) because of inquires and doing balace transfers (I expected that but not to drop it by quite that much), then it gets raised by 19 points (I am in payoff mode here). But when the 19 point jump came from paying off a small chunk of debt. I think that part of the problem is that my credit history is just a shade under three years old and so the dips are much greater and I am using just one credit card. But I am going to try and not obsess over the dips and everything. American Express and Victoria's Secret are almost paid off ($50 if that between the two of them). I think that will increase I score a bit. It's just the fact that I have had my score watch for three months and I have seen more bad news on it than good. It just seems like the negitives are reported much quicker than the good. Okay, this probably makes no sense to anybody. I am tackling the smallest balances first before I really work on the big balance (which is on Discover).

Re: Is it just me or...
It's seems to me that you are not obsessing over your Fico scores, but taking charge of your good credit and keeping it that way. After my BK in 03, it took me till end of 06 to start to look at my credit...i was too scared to do so. But after overcoming my fears, I start taking charge. It's a good thing to monitor your credit...with your good scores..you are preventing yourself from idenity theft. My brother told me the same thing about paying off the small debt and working yourself up. I'm in the process of doing that now. So..you doing good. I don't think otherwise...Inquires just started to hurt my score..remember everyone credit is different..If I pay off a small debt, it might just add 5 points and not 19. I wished I would have started sooner than later...well I finally grew-up. Wish you well...

Re: Is it just me or...
It's the fact that my spending was getting a little out of control and didn't want to get myself really in debt. I just am really paranoid about my identity. I have put off an action plan to get rid of debt long enough. I want to stay in the 700 club and get up to a 760 in a year!

Re: Credit Scores
WOW, so going on an app spree last month cost me and also gave me. My updated report had a positive and negative change accoridng to CreditSecure.
June 08:
Experian 606
Equifax 587
TransUnion 663
July 08:
Experian 606
Equifax 606
TransUnion 606
Although my scores are even now, I have dropped on my TransUnion (once highest score) and gained on the Equifax once lowest score).
Do you think it was for all the inquiries, as I have no new derogatory accounts????
July 7th, 2008, 12:53 AM #82
Re: Credit Scores
New accounts and new inquiries always hurt your score. Your score increases when those inquiries fall off and those new accounts age and hit the one year mark.

Re: Credit Scores
The only thing Im really hurting from is the TransUnion score. It was my highest and now its even with the other two.
July 7th, 2008, 10:03 AM #84
Re: Credit Scores
Cireone, the scores you need to take into consideration are the ones that you buy from myfico.com. Those are the scores that all of the lenders take into consideration in order to make a decision on your loan, credit card, mortgage application. Your Transunion (TU) FICO score may be higher than the score you are looking at right now because the FICO scoring system develops scores differently than others.

With who? Go and enroll in the credit addicts club NOW! No excuses. We are reading a book, so go and take a look at the book Eldarwen suggested.
July 7th, 2008, 10:54 PM #89
Re: Credit Scores
KMoney, if you want to see your scores increase, the first thing you need to do is stop applying for credit cards. You have to wait until your inquiries fall off and don't go on an spree. Some people go on an app spree to celebrate the fact that all of their inquiries have fallen off. What they don't know is that they worked so hard at not applying for any cards and once they go on an app spree, all that hard work has gone to waste. Remember, only apply for credit when you need it because if you have too many inquiries and new accounts, it will haunt you at the time of application for a credit card, mortgage, auto loan, etc.

Skull awaits your soul
What's the paper about? Slightly curious
"Although learning history is to learn from mistakes, the Hunger Games shows that there is a risk the repetition of history with its similarities to the gladiatorial games in ancient times and mythology." That's my official thesis statement (though I really might change it)
xD nice!
Reminds me of the paper i'm writing for one of my classes.
"The residential town of 44,000 known as Roswell, New Mexico was never the same. Despite eye witness reports, government documents, interviews, and newspaper articles, the world may never really know what happened in June 1947. The further examination of the events that happened that night, and the failed cover up that led the citizens of America to be in a constant state of paranoia."
Really have to go back and change that but hell yeah writing a ten page APA paper on Roswell, New Mexico's UFO incident.

Hi Brian, Thanks for explanation on what's going on behind the scenes. It makes sense to me.

We generated the list of "mail filter users" based on the mere presence of a .mailfilter file. If you've ever had a filter then you were on the list. When you delete filter rules, the shell of the rule remains. It looks like this: [log in to unmask] import SENDER if ($SENDER eq "") { SENDER=$FROM } to "./Maildir/." That tells it to "filter" every message intended for you (if you happen to be "sparty") into your main Inbox. We cannot open up ever single .mailfilter file for two reasons. First and foremost, because of the AUP, but also because it would be too daunting of a task. There are over 9,000 mailfilters in place and there are five of us working here right now. Hope that helps. ./brm

Is it True that Eggs are as Bad for Your Arteries as Smoking?
By Dr. Mercola
Recently, news headlines were ablaze with startling information that eggs are nearly as bad for your arteries as cigarettes. After surveying more than 1,200 seniors, the researchers concluded that eating egg yolks on a regular basis is approximately two-thirds as bad as smoking with regards to the build-up of arterial plaque.1
That's an incredible claim―especially once you know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say.
The rest of the story is this: the "study" is based on interviews of stroke patients and their recollection of egg intake and admission of smoking history.
The authors do acknowledge that the results are weak because they're dependent on the patients' self-reporting, memory, and honesty. They also say the finding that people with heart disease shouldn't consume eggs is just a hypothesis and should be tested further. That hasn't stopped the conventional media from running with it though, without any further scrutiny.2
Latest Attack on Eggs Fraught with Conflicts of Interest
First of all, the study was funded by the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario, and the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. Although these are two different entities, they use the same donors list in their annual reports3, and they are both heavily funded by Big Pharma—to the tune of AT LEAST $7 million a year for heart and stroke recovery, and $4.4 million for the Research Center's Heart & Stroke Spark Together for Healthy Kids™ project.
A number of "studies" that have come out of the Research Center support very aggressive drug treatment of stroke and heart attack patients, including this one, entitled "Treating Arteries Instead of Risk Factors4," in which the authors actually advocate skipping the risk factors altogether and just aggressively treating with pharmaceuticals. The study says they:
"… ensured that patients with vascular disease were using an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. For those not able to use angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors because of cough or angioedema, we ensured that they were using an angiotensin receptor blocker, unless they had contraindications to these classes of drugs."
Next, let's look at the study authors. Two of the three researchers in question, have declared interests in statins. David Spence and Jean Davignon have received honoraria and speaker's fees from several pharmaceutical companies manufacturing lipid-lowering drugs. Now do you think the companies that make statins might have a vested interest in getting you to be afraid of eggs and cholesterol? Of course they do.
The third researcher, David Jenkins, helped create the vegan "Portfolio Diet," which only allows egg substitutes and then only sparingly.
So what's the bottom line when you look at who funded the study and who the authors were? They all have heavy involvement with, and funding from, pharmaceutical companies, so how can you expect anything but massive conflict of interest? With this background information you could EASILY predict the outcome of the study well before it even began.
Shoddy Hypothesis Ignores Already Established Science
There is a major misconception that you must avoid foods like eggs and saturated fat to protect your heart. While it's true that fats from animal sources contain cholesterol, this is not necessarily something that will harm you. Cholesterol is in every cell in your body, where it helps to produce cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help you to digest fat. Cholesterol also helps in the formation of memories and is vital for your neurological function.
Besides asking seniors to recollect their past egg consumption with any amount of accuracy, there are other major problems with this study. Mark Sisson posted a humorous and accurate take on it on his blog, stating:5
"Those who ate the most eggs also smoked the most and were the most diabetic. To their credit, the authors tried to control for those factors, plus several others. Although they tried to control for sex, blood lipids, blood pressure, smoking, body weight index, and presence of diabetes, the study's authors didn't – couldn't – account for all potentially confounding variables. In their own words, 'more research should be done to take in possible confounders such as exercise and waist circumference.'
Hmm. 'Possible' confounders, eh?
- Exercise reduces inflammatory markers of atherosclerosis6
- Exercise even reduces markers of atherosclerosis in pre-pubertal obese children!7
- Exercise reduces thickness of the carotid arterial wall8
It doesn't get much clearer than that. Exercise is a massively confounding variable that the authors failed to take into account.
What about waist circumference?
- A high waist circumference predicts atherosclerosis of the carotid artery.9
Or how about stress, which also wasn't considered?
- Perceived daily psychological demands – the amount of crap you perceive to be heaped on your plate – are associated with progression of carotid arterial plaque.10
Yeah, it's not like the size of a person's waist, whether or not they move of their own volition or sit in an easy chair all day, and how much stress they endure have any impact on their risk of developing atherosclerosis. Those things may be linked, and I'm sure the authors would have loved to include them in their analysis, but there just wasn't enough space on the questionnaire. Besides, it's not like a little physical activity and mediation could even undo the damage wrought by 4.68 sinful egg yolks per week. Why, that's nearly a half dozen!" [Emphasis mine]
Study's Data Show Egg Consumption Actually Promotes Health
Another interesting analysis has been made by Ned Kock, who specializes in nonlinear variance-based structural equation modeling. Using a model to test for the "moderating effect," he demonstrates how the egg consumption data from the featured study actually shows that egg consumption promotes health.11
By looking into the effect that the number of eggs consumed per week had on the association between LDL cholesterol and plaque formation, the data shows that the highest amount of plaque is associated with the lowest LDL cholesterol levels… This is interesting, to say the least, since egg yolks are "supposed to" raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels thereby causing plaque buildup.
He writes:
"What is happening here? Maybe egg consumption above a certain level shifts the size of the LDL particles from small to large, making them harmless. (Saturated fat consumption, in the context of a nutritious diet in lean individuals, seems to have a similar effect.) Maybe eggs contain nutrients that promote overall health, leading LDL particles to "behave" and do what they are supposed to do. Maybe it is a combination of these and other effects."
Other Research has Found No Link Between Eggs and Heart Disease
One of the curious features of this study was the singling out of eggs without paying any attention to other foods. What about trans fat consumption, for example, which is now widely known to increase cardiovascular health risks? Or processed sugars and grains?
Additionally, while the subjects were reportedly asked about medications, drug use was not evaluated to see if there were any correlations between drugs and increased risk of arterial plaque build-up. After all, the subjects were all stroke patients, and are therefore likely to be on statins. Statins, we now know, are associated with an increased risk of diabetes, and heart disease is the number one killer of diabetics. So is the increased plaque build-up really caused by egg consumption, or is it related to drug-induced diabetes?
In a previous paper12, the researchers even point out a study showing that participants who developed diabetes during the course of the study doubled their risk of heart disease with regular egg consumption, while egg consumption had no impact on heart disease risk in non-diabetics.13 Overall, the idea that eggs are unhealthy is a complete myth, one that's easily debunked if you look at the evidence.
For example, previous studies have found that:
- Consumption of more than 6 eggs per week does not increase the risk of stroke and ischemic stroke14
- Eating two eggs a day does not adversely affect endothelial function (an aggregate measure of cardiac risk) in healthy adults, supporting the view that dietary cholesterol may be less detrimental to cardiovascular health than previously thought15
- Proteins in cooked eggs are converted by gastrointestinal enzymes, producing peptides that act as ACE inhibitors (common prescription medications for lowering blood pressure)16
- A survey of South Carolina adults found no correlation of blood cholesterol levels with "bad" dietary habits, such as use of red meat, animal fats, fried foods, butter, eggs, whole milk, bacon, sausage and cheese17
Dr. Pinna says:
Dr. Mercola hit a winner this time. His analysis of the corruption in this famous news story is excellent!

City Considers Plastic Bag Tax
The tax was proposed during the April 25 city council meeting.
Choosing plastic at the check-out line could potentially cost Evanston residents an extra five cents if a bag tax ordinance passes. The proposal was introduced Monday night by Alderman Coleen Burrus (9th Ward). The ordinance would add a five cent tax per each single-use plastic bag and penalize stores that don't comply with the rule. Alderman Ann Rainey (8th Ward) asked Burrus if she would consider a ban on plastic bags instead of a tax, and Burris said she would, according to the Evanston Roundtable.

The plastic bags washing up on the beaches are from cruise ships. The people who take cruises are the same people who live in those "energy-guzzler" homes in Evanston and drive those "gas-guzzler" vehicles (and propose plastic bag taxes). BTW, I really do walk to Whole Foods every morning, and evening too. My Corolla gets over 30 miles per gallon and 10 gallons of gasoline lasts me a month. I don…   more ›

Diane Van Deren
Ultra Runner
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, and raised in Littleton, Colo., Diane left high school early to play on the women's European pro tennis tour. She then attended University of Texas, Permian Basin, graduating with a degree in speech communications. Diane currently resides in Sedalia, Colo., with her husband and three children.
Diane has excelled as an elite athlete in a variety of disciplines throughout her career. As a child, she competed on boys' baseball teams, showed her horse in local rodeos and won Colorado State Championship titles in both golf and tennis. Being named to the "All State Basketball" team her senior year resulted in college scholarship offers for both basketball and tennis.
Collegiate competition allowed Diane to focus on tennis, earning an All-American team designation for her singles play as well as a National Jr. College Doubles Championship. After graduation, Diane traveled throughout the United States and Europe as a sponsored professional tennis player.
When she finally settled down to raise a family, Diane shifted into a coaching role, teaching positive attitudes and self confidence. She balanced organizing neighborhood tennis programs and coaching junior basketball with her own training schedule.
Diane still makes time to compete at a top level, training with cyclists at the Olympic Training Center, running marathons and – since 2002 – competing in ultra distance events at the elite level.
Diane demonstrates her life philosophy by giving back to her community with a variety of groups: • Epilepsy Foundation of Colorado • Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center • Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute at Children's Hospital • Craig Hospital
From summer camps for children with epilepsy to black tie fundraisers, Diane has shared her passion as a board member, celebrity spokesperson, camp leader and inspirational keynote speaker nationwide.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (April 18, 2012) – The Fort Lauderdale Strikers and Coral Springs United today announced an affiliation agreement designed to bolster CSU's program by providing a variety of opportunities for CSU players and coaches to interact with Strikers' players, coaches and technical staff.
"We are pleased to have Coral Springs United join our Club Affiliation and Partnership Program [C.A.P.P.], which we launched in March," said Strikers team president Tim Robbie. "An affiliation between the Strikers and Coral Springs United is a natural alliance that will provide tremendous benefits to CSU, the Strikers, and the sport of soccer as a whole in the South Florida community."
The relationship with the youth club in Coral Springs dates back to the days of the original Strikers and Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
"In the 70's and 80's, there was a designated section in Lockhart Stadium for season ticket holders from the Coral Springs area," said Robbie. "The Strikers and Coral Springs have a long partnership history dating back to the 1970's when developer John Taravella and former Coral Springs Mayor Ben Geiger asked the original Strikers to assist in the development of a youth soccer program in Coral Springs."
Highlights of the affiliation include Strikers' players and coaches assisting with CSU training sessions, player evaluations and coaching instruction. There will be opportunities for CSU teams to play games at Lockhart Stadium, attend "chalk talks" with Strikers' coaches prior to games and participate in other on-field activities at Strikers' home games.
Every CSU player who registers for the 2012-13 season will receive Strikers' tickets that are redeemable at any 2012 regular season game.
"Our priority is to provide Coral Springs United players all of the resources necessary to excel at their game and grow as players," said CSU President Mike Driscoll. "We are very excited about our affiliation with the Strikers as this relationship will contribute a differentiating and exclusive value to our players."
CSU also intends to join forces with West Pines United and other potential affiliates to offer enhanced training and playing opportunities for elite players from both their girls and boys programs.
"Our vision is to make Coral Springs United one of the most recognizable clubs in the state of Florida," said CFU Vice President David Horacek. "This strategic alliance is indicative of our plans to expand our offerings to the soccer community and build meaningful and productive soccer relationships, in order to cultivate youth soccer and player development."
The Strikers' two-tiered Club Affiliation and Partnership Program {C.A.P.P.] provides opportunities for recreational and travel clubs to form alliances with the Strikers. The City of Fort Lauderdale's recreational soccer program, West Pines United and Coral Springs United have each formed partnerships with the Strikers through this program. For additional information on the C.A.P.P. program, visit Strikers.com.
The Strikers travel to face the expansion San Antonio Scorpions on Saturday, April 21st, at 8:30p.m.
Season Tickets and individual game tickets are available by calling (954) 606-0400 or by going to Strikers.com. Follow the Strikers on facebook and twitter @FTLStrikers. All Strikers games are broadcast online at Strikers.com/live

A Young Couple Evaluates Their Excessive and Hazardous Drinking and Their Short and Long-Term Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
August 25th, 2009 by | Posted in General Comments OffAugie and Merissa have been seeing one another for eight years. They met while taking the same statistics class at a relatively large, rural, private liberal arts college located in the Eastern part of the United States. While they were just good pals at first, they eventually began dating when they were in their first year of college.
Given the fact that both of them came from very strict backgrounds, neither one of them drank very much beyond the casual drinking stage when they first began dating. As the time advanced, then again, they began to go to more keg parties, football bashes, sorority and fraternity parties, and happy hours. As a consequence, they little by little began to drink more as they proceeded in their relationship.
Their Social Life As a Rule Consisted of Going to Restaurants Three or Four Nights Per Week, Going to Professional Sporting Events, Going to Happy Hour With Their Friends, Going to Parties With Their Friends, and Going With Their Friends to the Local Disco on the Weekends
After they graduated, they both found jobs in a medium size city located roughly seventy miles from their undergraduate college. Then they decided to move into the same apartment with one another.
Because they were far removed from the college drinking scene, nonetheless, their social life generally consisted of going to restaurants three or four nights per week, going to professional sporting events, going to parties with their friends, going to happy hour with their friends, and going to the local bar with their buddies on the weekends. To come to the point, Merissa and Augie started to drink in an abusive manner.
Now that were living with one another and starting to get more unwavering about their relationship, nevertheless, they started to think about having children, becoming more responsible, getting married, and buying a house.
With any momentous adjustment in a person's life there is normally something that produces the particular change in question. For Merissa and Augie the thought of having children and buying a new house was this "catalyst." Stated more forcefully, for the first time in their lives, Merissa and Augie started to critically evaluate their hazardous and abusive drinking and the alcohol long term effects on their lives.
How Would Their Hazardous Drinking Affect Their Finances, Their Relationship With One Another, Their Ability to Have Children, Their Mental Health, and Their Relationship With Their Parents?
Would their drinking behavior negatively affect their ability to have children? How would they be able to continue spending most of their money on drinking if they were to start saving for a new house? How mature would they be if they had children and continued to drink in a hazardous and irresponsible manner? How would they be able to face their parents and tell them about their long term aspirations, goals, and dreams while they still drank in an irresponsible and hazardous manner while having fun as they did when they were in college? What would their abusive and irresponsible drinking do to their relationship? How would their heavy and irresponsible drinking affect their mental health?
From a different viewpoint, although neither one of them ever suffered from alcohol poisoning, received a DUI, or experienced alcohol withdrawal symptoms, they realized that their excessive and heavy drinking was becoming a troublesome issue that they could not turn their backs on anymore.
After Giving Their Situation Some Serious Thought, Merissa and Augie Grasped the Fact That Their Hopes, Aspirations, and Dreams Would not be Fulfilled if They Continued Their Hazardous and Excessive Drinking
All of these questions unmistakably resulted in the same conclusion: Augie and Merissa needed to be more aware that they couldn't continue their abusive and heavy drinking if their dreams, goals, and aspirations were to be made real.
Once they settled upon this conclusion, they told their drinking pals about their plans to start a family, about their goal of buying or building a new house, and about their marital plans. They also told their drinking pals that they still wanted to associate with them but that they would be drinking in strict moderation from this point forward so that they could begin realizing their future hopes, dreams, and plans.
Unexpectedly, all of their pals expressed relief because they too had been pondering the direction of their lives and concluded that their life-styles were much too frequently focused on drinking. They also understood that they would have to change radically if they were to become more mature and manifest more respect for their health, their careers, and for their goals in the next five or ten years.
After their frank discussion with their buddies about their goals, aspirations, and dreams, Merissa and Augie in reality started to have more meaningful relationships with all of their pals. The primary reason for this was the fact that all of them had the same way of thinking regarding their irresponsible and excessive drinking and their relatively short and long-term goals, aspirations, and plans.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Tensilica Inc. have announced a partnership to research exascale supercomputing design. The program will combine LBNL's supercomputing smarts with Tensilica's expertise in microprocessor technology. While not exactly a household name, Tensilica is gaining some notoriety as a provider of ultra-low-power (i.e., less than one watt) configurable processors for mobile and computing devices and special-purpose computing appliances.
From the announcement:
The team will use Tensilica's Xtensa LX extensible processor cores as the basic building blocks in a massively parallel system design. Each processor will dissipate a few hundred milliwatts of power, yet deliver billions of floating point operations per second and be programmable using standard programming languages and tools. This equates to an order-of-magnitude improvement in floating point operations per watt, compared to conventional desktop and server processor chips. The small size and low power of these processors allows tight integration at the chip, board and rack level and scaling to millions of processors within a power budget of a few megawatts.
This takes the low-power processor approach, exemplified by the SiCortex and IBM Blue Gene architectures, to the next level in order to overcome the power and cost limitations inherent in applying the current crop of commodity processors to multi-petaflop systems.Tensilica's Xtensa chip makes even the MIPS and ARM processors look massive by comparison.
Berkeley researcher Horst Simon says our present trajectory will "make current approaches for supercomputing unsustainable." As you might suspect, the hardware side of this is actually the simplest part. Because of the massive scalability involved, new software models and tools will have to be invented to make this new paradigm workable.
I wrote an article about Berkeley's interest in Tensilica technology and massively parallel architectures back in February. For more background, check out the NERSC slides [PPT] about the looming power and cost crisis in petascale computing.
Update (05/06/08): For additional coverage of the announcement, read the TG Daily article and the news feature at Berkeley Lab.

Experts slam A-F grading system for evaluating Oklahoma public schools
BY ANDREA EGER World Staff Writer
Friday, January 18, 2013

See the report:
Read the full expert examination of Oklahoma's A-F report card system.

Editorial: Barresi's grading system flawed.
Policy experts at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University criticize the state's controversial A-F report card system for public schools as "neither clear, nor comparable" in a report released Thursday.
The new research, which was commissioned by the Oklahoma State School Boards Association and the Cooperative Council for School Administrators, is just the latest blow to the Oklahoma State Department of Education's new methods for holding schools accountable. The state board of education in October decided to move forward with the grade calculation methods over the objections of more than 300 superintendents.
"Despite good intentions, the features of the Oklahoma A-F grading system produce school letter grades that are neither clear, nor comparable; their lack of clarity makes unjustified decisions about schools," researchers wrote. "Building on what has already been done, Oklahoma can and should move toward a more trustworthy and fair assessment system for holding schools accountable and embracing continuous, incremental improvement."
The report was authored by three senior research scientists and four research associates at the Oklahoma Center for Education Policy at OU and two senior research scientists at OSU's Center for Educational Research and Evaluation. It was reviewed by an education researcher at the University of Colorado and a psychologist and psychometrician who is a professor and provost at OSU.
The report questions the statistical "validity, reliability and usefulness" of all three components of the new school report cards, which measure student achievement and growth and school performance.
"By not making explicit threats to the validity of report card grades, the (Oklahoma State Department of Education) misinforms the public about the credibility and utility of the A-F accountability system," it states.
In a written statement, State Superintendent Janet Barresi said she couldn't respond in detail because she and her colleages had not had an opportunity to fully review the report.
But she said, "We are always willing to listen to input on improvements to the existing system, as long as it continues to provide clear information on how children are progressing."
Tulsa Superintendent Keith Ballard, who along with superintendents from Edmond, Norman, Enid and Union led the coalition of school leaders questioning the state's grade calculations, said the report from research scientists at the state's top universities "confirms what I've been saying all along."
"It speaks for itself. I was never opposed to A-F, but it is a flawed system and we were right - the system was manipulated," Ballard said. "In Tulsa, we are very focused on student achievement and we just need a fair system with which to be evaluated. I now would call on the Legislature to fix this."
Rather than adding together the different components to arrive at a single grade, the OU and OSU policy experts recommend that schools receive report cards with grades for each indicator of school performance, in the same fashion students are graded for different subjects.
They also called on the state to enlist objective assessment and evaluation experts to build an "exemplary" accountability system.
For the previous 10 years, Oklahoma's public schools had been assessed using a numerical school accountability scoring system, called the Academic Performance Index, or API. Barresi had campaigned for office on the idea of replacing the API scores of 0-1,500 with letter grades, saying that report cards would be easier for parents and others to understand.
In 2011, legislation was passed to formalize the A-F school grading system and subsequently, the state board of education adopted rules for the law's implementation. But not until schools began reviewing the state's first drafts of grade calculations in early September did controversy erupt.
The two organizations that sponsored the research report issued a joint statement Thursday saying they "embrace the accountability requirements and expectations" of state lawmakers, but objective research now proves the current system "does not provide reliable, valid, or useful data to parents and community members regarding school performance."
"Our ultimate goal is to work with all state officials, Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma to develop a system of evaluating student growth and schools in a fair and meaningful manner," the joint statement from OSSBA and CCOSA reads. "Our two organizations are committed to assisting in making our accountability system a national model."
Report's recommendations
1) Eliminate the single grade and develop a report card format that uses multiple school indicators that more adequately reflect a school performance profile.
2) Develop a balanced performance measurement plan that aligns with strategic goals of schools. Track school indicators longitudinally to understand growth or stasis.
3) Promote the use of valid and reliable measurement of process variables at the district and school level, to be used by schools in their improvement plans.
4) Make explicit the limitations of the accountability system and warn of its inappropriate use for high-stakes decision-making.
5) Legitimize the process by embedding assessment throughout the school year.
6) Take the time to enlist the services of assessment and evaluation experts who can objectively build an exemplary Oklahoma accountability system directed at incremental and continuous school improvement.

Bedpost was created with a single goal in mind: to track the fun my wife and I were having in bed and to give me something to reflect upon in the years ahead, to remember specific circumstances that otherwise would have been lost like so much other data about our lives. It's with this in mind that I built and continue to build this application; I believe that data about ourselves, even data as intimate as what's happening in our sex lives, can inform us and help us live the lives we want to lead.
I believe sex is vital to a healthy life both mentally and physically, and I believe that any data we record about it should have the strictest privacy applied by default. Many people quickly wrote Bedpost off as a social network despite there never being a single social feature about it, but even as this changes, I aim to maintain a "smart sex" approach that treats sexuality as natural, human, healthy and above all, fun. No one has ever really needed Bedpost in their lives, that's what makes it fun to work on.
Everyone is entitled to their own sexuality so long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights and desires of others, but I would really prefer Bedpost not turn into a haven for creepers and self-proclaimed pickup artists although I'm not sure how feasible this is. The goal is not to reduce our partners to simple numbers and ratings, but to help provide insight into sexual adventures, whatever they may be. This is complicated and I would basically ask that any conversation around features like this be steered toward user-configurablity over baked-in conventions. The original Bedpost only supported tags and single-partner encounters for this reason. As we branch out and explore a more robust tool, there are natural places to take things, I'd just ask that we make sure to remind ourselves and our users that the partners are just that, not simply notches on the bedpost, as eponymous as this appears to be.
Why I'm continuing the project as Open Source
I believe that all users should have ownership of their data and I also believe that I'm not quite strong enough of a developer to build this all on my own. I also believe that Open Source is the most powerful idea of our generation, and that free software will – and has – change the world for the better. I believe in providing our users with as much freedom as those afforded us by the software we're using to build. I also believe most users don't want to host their own software and don't mind using a hosted service so long as it's trusted.

A jury found Benjamin Duling guilty of second-degree murder for fatally stabbing his partner, Shelly McGrade, at their home in Wilton nearly five years ago, rejecting claims that he acted in self defense.
Duling, 40, faces up to life in prison for stabbing McGrade in the neck and back while the two were in the kitchen of their home on the night of April 18, 2008.
The jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts of second-degree murder around 2 p.m. in Hillsborough County Superior Court. The jury of nine women and three men began deliberating on Monday afternoon, and were given the option to consider a manslaughter conviction. Throughout the trial, Duling kept his back to the court gallery, not even glancing up as prosecutors described him as a killer who tried to lie his way out of the brutal slaying, then accuse McGrade of attacking him.
Duling claimed he was only defending himself from an irate McGrade, who confronted him about having an affair with a male co-worker. The co-worker and Duling planned to leave on a trip to London the day after the murder. McGrade also worried that Duling and the man had an "unhealthy interest" in her 5-year-old son, according to prosecutors.
Jurors saw several graphic photos and videos of McGrade's body and the bloody crime scene. They heard testimony from state police investigators and the couple's neighbors.
Duling's 10-year-old son was called to testify as a defense witness, but Assistant Attorney General Michael Lewis cited the boy's statements he made to neighbors moments after the murder as a true eyewitness account of the killing.
"Daddy took a knife and stabbed Mommy, and there was blood everywhere," the boy told one neighbor, according to court testimony.
Judge Diane Nicolosi is expected to sentence Duling in mid-April.

These boxes are fundamentally > translation systems and are a counter-example for your > bold claim quoted above. I am only discussing a scheme such as Six/One Router being used without multiple address spaces. This is not at all like NAT. My example is sufficient to show that the two (three in may example) communicating hosts have real public addresses, but that these addresses are not part of the DFZ BGP routing system. The task of R1 is to get the packet to the appropriate router R2 for wherever the destination host's network is currently connected. If there are other translation schemes which will solve the routing scaling problem, I hope someone will discuss them. Likewise, if I have misunderstood Six/One Router, or if my example is inadequate, I hope someone will correct me. - Robin -- to unsubscribe send a message to email@example.com with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://psg.com/lists/rrg/> & ftp://psg.com/pub/lists/rrg
