Democrats share LePage's concerns about Maine's problems, but don't agree on all his solutions
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Majority Democrats say Gov. Paul LePage identified the concerns they share in his second State of the State address, but they don't agree on all of the Republican's solutions.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall of Richmond says lawmakers need to look beyond what the governor says and consider what he does. Goodall says that for the last two years, his administration has not strengthened the state's economy or grown the middle class.
In his speech Tuesday night, the Republican governor stressed educational choice for students, strategies to lower energy prices and domestic abuse as top issues.
LePage said he wants to hold schools accountable for how well they are educating students by grading each school.

The pioneering work of the Martinos Center spurred an explosion of research in functional brain imaging. While we have known for almost 100 years that neural activity causes localized changes in blood flow, and researchers have more recently demonstrated that neural activity causes localized changes in blood oxygenation, the tools for measuring these signals have historically been highly invasive in animals and moderately invasive in humans. The seminal work of an extraordinary team of physicists, radiologists, and neuroscientists at the Martinos Center, demonstrating that these changes and blood flow and blood oxygenation can be detected by the noninvasive technology of MRI, has led to a dramatic increase in functional brain imaging work with humans. Because this noninvasive technique permits many repetitions of experimental procedures on a single subject, it is rapidly becoming the method of choice for neuroscience research in functional brain mapping. The purpose of the present course is to provide an in-depth introduction to this field. It is primarily intended for people new to functional MRI, though some experienced scientists have found the program useful.

Over the past years, there have been many rumors and discussions about race or alpine snowboarding being dead or dying out.
But facing the truth, this discipline is still alive, develops and progresses quickly due to new inventions, technical staff and new companies and still has its fans all over the world.
Which also does help the sport to grow are people like Nevin Galmarini who not only do what they love but even go a step further.
For more than 15 years now, the Swiss national team member has been snowboarding. When his dad who was a passionated windsurfer and his brother Arno tried the new hype on the slope young Nevin of course wanted to follow up and quickly fell in love with what he was doing on snow.
Despite the fact that he was still in ski boots on his first F2 board and the only one in school for a long time.
Ever since, he has been into carving but also likes to go for some jibbing runs, too. Maybe this is why Nevin is able to think out of the box and sees some kind of bigger picture.
"I love both aspects of snowboarding almost equally. Needless to say that I take my freestyle equipment on powder days. I also try to hit the park as much as I can.
Pushing myself, jibbing the park and be creative with my buddies is something I wouldn't miss," explains the Olympian.
However, there is only one thing he wants to do contest-wise: "To me, there's only one choice for competition: race boarding! It's a pure sport and the faster guy wins, no judges.
I like to cut the slopes hard and feel the forces. I like to be fast or to be able to decide fast. And I absolutely like the mental aspects of parallel competitions: Be cool if you're in front - push harder if you're behind!"
As Nevin made it to be one of the world's best over the past six years having competed in 62 World Cup races until the end of the 2013 season, the pro snowboarder who loves the Motta Naluns in Scuol decided to give something back to those who are as passionated for carving as he is.
The three-time top-3 World Cup race finisher (3rd in Arosa 2011 and Stoneham 2012 as well as 2nd in Moscow 2013) created his own camp called "Nevin Galmarinis Snowboard Carving Camp".
"I had to do this as there are almost no offers for conventional carvers to learn or improve their carving skills.
It was also a chance for me to find out what's going on in the race boarding scene. And I also wanted to teach all the guys a lesson who have no idea about carving and always say: alpine snowboarding is dead."
Thanks to his good contacts in the scene he easily achieved the goal of let normal people ride with the best by inviting World Cup mates such Sigi Grabner (AUT), Roland Fischnaller (ITA) and Justin Reiter (USA) as snowboard instructors and embassadors.

Effective October 3, 2011 - Collection Agency
2-Year Licensing Fee Will Increase From $400 to $700
Notice of Final Action
Effective October 3, 2011, a license fee payable by a collection
agency to do business in Maryland will increase from $400 to
$700 for a two - year license. The new regulations setting the
fees were proposed by the State Collection Agency Licensing
Board at its meeting on May 11, 2011. The final regulations
were approved at the Board's meeting on August 17, 2011. See
Code of Maryland Regulations, 09.03.13.01 and .02.
The purpose of this regulatory action is to
offset the cost of regulating collection practices in the State
of Maryland. The regulation of collection practices in the State
has increased in the past decade for several reasons, including
(i) growth in the number of third-party collection agencies
and the volume of debt collected in Maryland; (ii) evolution
and diversification of collection practices; (iii) increase
in the complexity of laws governing collections; (iv) growth
in the volume of complaints from consumers; and (v) increase
in enforcement activity. The level of current licensing
fees was set in 1996 and has not kept up with the cost of regulation.
Having found that the fee level was no longer sufficient to cover the cost of regulation in accordance with the provisions of Title 7, Subtitle 1, Business Regulation Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, the Board has approved a final regulation increasing initial license fee and the bi-annual license renewal fee from $400 to $700.
If you have any questions with the contents of this Advisory,
please contact Kelly Mack, Administrative Officer to the Board
at (410) 230-6079. Thank you.

Mental Health
Featured Article - VA's "Wide Path" Out of Homelessness
VA's "Wide Path" Out of Homelessness
Posted October 22, 2010
There are many roads to homelessness.
But the path back is wide…with a lot of help along the way.
Vic Modesto is a Veteran who has made that trip…the hard way. We'll tell you his story.
Dr. Keith Harris is a VA clinical psychologist who understands what homeless Vets are going through. He and Vic
worked together to get Vic back to his life.
Vic was in the Navy in the late 60s. "I was a screw up. I was so angry most of the time, I never became a good
sailor." After a troubled tour in the Navy, Vic got out, did drugs, knew he needed help and went into rehab for two
He then worked ten years as the Director of a 150 bed treatment center in Hawaii. And then another dark chapter in his story began as he again went out using drugs -- for 18 more years.
Vic was stoned and wandering for 18 years of good jobs, bad jobs, losing jobs and eventually homelessness and
heroin addiction.
Vic encountered a lot of the mental health problems that lead to homelessness. Married, then divorced, he
experienced the whole nine yards of street baggage that causes the hopelessness he admits he endured.
"I would get in rehab and then get out and start using and drinking again. I tried the VA but it was not a positive
experience back then. And then I found the Palo Alto VA Medical Center. Boy, had they changed."
Dr. Keith Harris, who is the new VA National Director of Clinical Operations, Mental Health Homeless and
Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs, recognizes the social disconnect in homeless Veterans such as Vic.
He points out that "One of the most serious symptoms of homeless people is the lack of a sense of control. At Palo
Alto, we use a phrase to capture our approach to treatment: 'I create what happens to me.' We find that this
approach helps homeless people move away from a past-focused sense of victimhood to a more active, future-oriented
role in molding the conditions of their lives.
"The percentages of homeless Veterans with substance use or psychiatric issues is telling. In the most recent annual report of the Health Care for Homeless Veterans program, which is VA's outreach and case management program, it reported that 64% had a diagnosis of drug or alcohol dependence."
"Another 57% had a diagnosis of serious mental illness. Serious mental illness is defined as having a psychiatric
diagnosis that falls into one of the following categories: schizophrenia, other psychotic disorder, mood disorders and
"It's also significant that 82% had a diagnosis of either drug or alcohol dependence or
serious mental illness."
(These statistics vary depending on the program reports, as the programs
target different issues and acuity levels.)
Given the large majority of homeless Veterans with substance use or psychiatric issues, VA has placed a large
emphasis on treating these issues within its homeless programs. Veterans are treated within the homeless programs,
and/or referred to specialty care as needed. The majority of Veterans report significant improvement in these areas
upon leaving VA homeless programs.
Vic happily remembers Christmas time, 1998, when he finally decided, "I do have a choice. I can face the reasons I
am homeless, those reasons I was afraid to deal with. I went to the VA for detox, and I found out that people at the
VA were really interested in what happened to me."
He now works for the VA in a California domiciliary program where he counsels homeless Veterans on how to get off
the street, face their problems and make those "scary" choices that open a positive door for their futures. "My dad
was a good soldier and my brother was a good sailor. I wasn't. This is my opportunity to help out those good soldiers
who served their country and right now, could use a little help."
Dr. Harris points out, "When you consider the causes of homelessness, in addition to lack of employment or income,
often times you find mental health issues and substance use issues or a combination of both. So in working to help
people find housing and jobs, programs to support mental health and substance use treatment work hand in hand."
Vic says, "We have this saying here: The path is wide. Every Veteran is different. Their problems are different.
But the road to recovery is wide, with a lot of different ways to treat a lot of different problems."
Getting the word out to homeless Veterans is always one of the VA's top priorities, according to Dr. Harris: "We have a National Call Center where homeless Vets can call for help: 877-424-3838. There is also a 24/7 online chat site: Homeless Veterans Chat.
"We are always trying to find those Veterans who need help. We distribute our contact information to shelters, soup
kitchens, libraries, primary care doctors and the outside community.
"I have wanted to do this work since I served my internship in the domiciliary program at the Palo Alto VA Medical
Center. I was deeply moved watching these homeless Veterans focus their considerable energy and skill on creating a
new life for themselves. Homelessness is a very complex problem but that's what makes it so rewarding to work
Dr. Harris previously served as the Chief of the Domiciliary and Homeless Programs at the VA Palo Alto Health Care
System where Vic changed his life. He directed the full continuum of VA homeless programs and services at Palo Alto,
including several nationally-recognized programs. He is a long-time member of the Domiciliary Field Advisory Board
and has contributed to many VACO projects.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking decisive action to end Veteran homelessness in five years. All
Veterans at risk for homelessness or attempting to exit homelessness must have easy access to programs and services
including Prevention, Housing Support, Treatment, Employment and Job Training.

Thank you Hickory rowers and coxswains for your continued support of our summer rowing camp. To show our appreciation, we are offering members of your crew a discounted price of $575.
The College of William and Mary Summer Rowing Camp prides itself on offering a superior, lengthier, and more affordable summer rowing camp experience than just about any other program nationwide. Our rowing camp is for intermediate (at least 1 semester of competitive rowing/coxing) or advanced (rowers will need a note/recommendation from their coach or previously attended a W&M summer camp) rowers/coxswains aged 13-18, and costs $575 for the 6 days of rowing camp. Each session will be coed, and campers will participate in meals and the evenings' activities together, but will practice and room separately. Camp will begin Sunday evening with check-in and introductions, and will culminate the following Friday afternoon with an intra-camp race. For the duration of the William and Mary Rowing Camp rowers will room in William and Mary dorms (2 per room), eat three meals a day in the college's dining halls, and practice at the college's indoor and outdoor rowing facilities, which include the Student Recreation Center and the new Tack Family Boathouse.
While at camp, rowers will practice twice daily with the William and Mary varsity coaches, Jason Mitchell and Graham Ludmer, who will focus on a different aspect of the rowing stroke or recovery at each practice. Our rowing focuses on the instruction and technique of sweep rowing. Before heading out on the water, rowers and coxswains will be provided with a well-articulated breakdown and explanation of that practice's focus including any subtle nuances demanding special attention. Such a thorough breakdown and explanation will be employed in order to help rowers better understand the physics behind rowing, what rowing coaches look for from their athletes and boats, and why they look for it. Our coaches will engage rowers and coxswains at practice with the help of dockside rowers, form-specific drills, and after practice video analysis. Our coaches will also discuss the many different levels of collegiate rowing, and the opportunities provided to student-athletes at those collegiate programs.
In addition to the strong focus on rowing form and conditioning, campers will be introduced to life at William and Mary, the second-oldest college in the nation, in a well-supervised and structured atmosphere. On top of all the rowing activities campers will have planned nightly group activities such as: movie night, playing ultimate frisbee in the Sunken Gardens, scavenger hunt in Colonial Williamsburg, going to a local beach, and pizza/ice cream party.

Nuggets put end to Lakers' win streak
Kobe Bryant went on another scoring tear for the Los Angeles Lakers. This time, it wasn't enough.
Corey Brewer matched his career high with 27 points and the Denver Nuggets overcame a 40-point effort by Bryant to beat the Lakers 126-114 on Wednesday night for their seventh straight win at home.
"He's Kobe Bryant, so he made some tough shots, but other guys didn't get involved so we were able to get a win," Brewer said.
Brewer hit four of his six 3-pointers in the final 12-plus minutes, helping the Nuggets hold off the Lakers, whose five-game winning streak was snapped.
Bryant, who hit 40 points for the 116th time in his career, has scored 30 or more points in 10 straight games. But Bryant said it felt as if the Nuggets, who finished with the highest point total by a Lakers opponent this season, kept beating Los Angeles to the punch.
"Tonight it seemed like we were just a step slow, seemed like we were stuck in mud," Bryant said. "We played old. They played with a lot of energy, a lot of youth, got up and down. It just seemed we were in a lower gear."
Kenneth Faried had 21 points and 15 rebounds, and Danilo Gallinari added 19 points for Denver. Ty Lawson had 17 points to go with 14 assists, and Andre Iguodala also scored 17 points.
"It was just good to see us shoot the ball and beat a good team with some confidence," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "I just think the last couple of games, we have been playing with a little more confidence and more awareness of how to win close games."
Karl added of Brewer, "His defensive plays and his energy, he energizes us on the perimeter. Kenneth energizes us in the middle. We were smart tonight. We did a good job of getting everyone in a good place on almost every possession."
The Lakers lost Dwight Howard to an ejection with 5:02 left in the third quarter. He was called for a flagrant foul 2 when he jammed his hand in Faried's face as the Nuggets forward drove the lane. Faried tumbled to the floor, but shook off the fall to stay in the game.
Howard acknowledged it was a hard foul and that it looked bad when seeing it on replay, but he didn't think it merited ejection.
"I was surprised it was a flagrant 2," he said. "My intention was never to hurt Faried. I like the young fellow and my intention was just to foul. I come down the lane, somebody is going to foul me hard, put me on the free throw line and make me shoot free throws. It was the same kind of thing."
Faried said he thought Howard may have been frustrated and also sensed his determined drive to the basket.
"He saw my eyes, I wasn't going to back down, I wasn't going to try to float it," Faried said. "I was going to try to dunk on him. He saw it. That's why he put his hand directly in my face."
Pau Gasol added 19 points for the Lakers and Steve Nash had 15 points in his third game back from a leg injury that sidelined him for 24 games.
Leading by three points at the half, the Nuggets went on a 10-0 run capped by a 3-pointer by Gallinari for a 73-60 lead midway through the third quarter.
The Nuggets scored five consecutive points after Howard's ejection, including one of two free throws by Faried for an 84-72 advantage. But the Lakers fought back, pulling within 91-87 with a 9-3 burst near the end of the third quarter that Bryant started with a 3-pointer.
Taking advantage of a Lakers turnover, the Nuggets stunned the Lakers with five points in the final 12.7 seconds of the third, with Brewer hitting a running 3-pointer at the buzzer from 26 feet away to allow Denver to take a 96-87 lead into the fourth quarter.
"It was one of those nights when the shots start going down the basket gets big," Brewer said.
Brewer and Iguodala each hit 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the final period as Denver gained a 15-point advantage.
The Lakers cut it to 113-106 on layup by Jodie Meeks with 4:34 remaining, but Gallinari answered with his third 3-pointer of the night and Faried followed with a driving layup to rebuild Denver's lead to 118-106. Brewer hit two more 3-pointers in the final 1:19 to ice the victory.
Notes: Faried has 12 double-doubles this season. … Nuggets forward Jordan Hamilton was fined $25,000 by the NBA because of a vulgar exchange with a fan during the team's 112-100 Christmas Day loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center. …Despite the loss, the Lakers remain the only NBA team to have a winning record against the Nuggets in Denver, (43-34) all-time. … Gasol, who was 3 for 11 from 3-point range coming into the game, hit two of his three 3-point tries against the Nuggets. … Denver scored a season high in points against the Lakers. The previous high was 122 points at Sacramento on Dec. 16. … Bryant matched an opponent season-high in points against the Nuggets. Chris Bosh of Miami also scored 40 points against Denver on Nov. 13. … Brewer also scored 27 points against Detroit on April 4, 2010.

Straight No Chaser headlines the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis tonight, and then shifts to the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on Saturday night. The group has become a national phenomenon, touring coast-to-coast, releasing hit albums, and even doing lengthy residencies in the top level casino clubs.
The human voice is at the crux of most popular music, and that's never been more obvious than today, when tv shows seeking the next big singing star are all over the dial. But a capella, vocals for their own sake, without instrumentation, is still kind of an overlooked art.
Straight No Chaser is the group that is determined to change that situation, and they've become a national phenomenon, touring coast-to-coast, releasing hit albums, and even doing lengthy residencies in the top level casino clubs.
Straight No Chaser headlines the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis tonight, and then shifts to the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on Saturday night.
Straight No Chaser had its origins in 1996, when some Indiana University students decided they enjoyed their impromptu singing sessions so much they ought to make it a regular thing. Most of the founding members of the ten-man group graduated by 2000, but a funny thing propelled them into the charts six years later.
Someone had made a video of the group singing "The 12 Days of Christmas" back in 1998, and when it was posted on YouTube it was an immediate sensation, both for the flawless vocals and harmonies, and for the group's inventive and light-hearted arrangement. That video went on to attract over 17 million views, including an executive at Atlantic Record, who tracked down the original SNC lineup and offered them a record contract.
Eight of the original ten singers were eager to go, and while two decided to stay with their day jobs and families, their replacements were found with the later-day versions of the group, which had continued to flourish at Indiana U. By 2008, SNC Had released its debut CD, "Holiday Spirits," which sold well and raised their profile even more. The next year, 2009, saw them release both a six-song EP of pop music, as well as another holiday-themed full-length album, "Christmas Cheers."
2010 was a big year for SNC, as they released their first non-holiday album, "With a Twist," featuring a guest shot from Barry Manilow. They spent their summer on a 40-show residency at Harrah's in Atlantic City, and then embarked on a fall tour that included 75 dates.
Last year SNC really shot the moon, with "Under the Influence," a pop collection that also offered a deluxe, 17-cut edition, and included eight glittery co-stars. The ten members sang current hits like Adele's "Rolling In the Deep," Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," and a medley saluting the band Fun of "Some Nights" and "We Are Young." But SNC's new album really garnered notice for the collaborations it included, such as Elton John helping them sing "Don't let The Sun Go Down On me," or Seal joining in on his "Kiss from a Rose," the one and only Stevie Wonder showing up on "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)," and even country music queen Dolly Parton kicking it on a remake of her classic "Jolene." Many listeners felt the best moment was Sara Bareilles joining in and taking a stunning solo on the Jackson Five chestnut, "I Want You Back."
"The good thing about doing all covers is that we have a wide range of music available," said first tenor Tyler Trepp, who at 29 is the group's youngest member. Trepp is an Indiana alumnus (2007) and served as music director for Another Round, the monicker adopted by the college vocal group once their forebears became so famous. Trepp, an Iowa native, joined in 2008, but he also became familiar with Cape Cod during his college years, when he spent a couple summers singing with Hyannis Sound, a smaller vocal outfit comprised of collegians.
"We have such a big age range in our audiences, from kids to grandparents, that we try to do a big range of music," Trepp explained. "We have three or four guys who do arrangements, including me, and if guys have an idea, they will generally work up a demo version themselves, showing how all the parts would be sung. Then they'll bring it to the whole group, and go from there."
"Choosing to do a song is kind of a democratic process," said Trepp. "But we have ten different guys from ten different backgrounds, so any question might produce ten different answers. There's a little bit of a process to it, depending on the song, but we usually all come together pretty easily--and we've been doing it for five years now."
Trepp had played piano while growing up, and performed in the usual high school bands, but he'd always been fascinated by vocals. His father's record collection helped foster that interest, as his dad's favorites included the Beach Boys, Queen, Styx, Journey, Chuicago and other bands that featured superb vocals and harmonies.
"My dad had always loved a capella singing too," noted Trepp. "And when I began to look at colleges, and heard about the group at Indiana, that was a major reason for my choosing to go there."
Straight No Chaser's members were as surprised by their sudden success back in 2008 as anyone else, and most of the singers kept their day jobs for the first year or so. But as the group's popularity kept growing, and opportunities to perform kept rolling in, they all gradually gave up the day jobs for fulltime music work.
Straight No Chaser's success is due in no small part to the inventive way they approach familiar songs, but their frequently comic touches, or revamped arrangements help keep even the most familiar tunes fresh. And, the group has always bent over backwards to avoid doing the usual vocal group/barbershop quartet kind of repertoire.
"We can do anything from 1950s doo-wop to Motown to Madonna, or even something right off the radio today," said Trepp. "If an idea is going to work, we can usually see it right away. And we're always looking to do new ones. We first became known for our quirky holiday songs, but we also have a lot of funny, non-holiday songs."
"We just did a short May run," added Trepp, "and we've added two new songs. Pharrell's "Happy" is a lot of fun, and we also started doing "Let It Go" from the latest Disney movie."
Did those summer-long casino gigs require a different setlist, or more material?
"We did two summers, 2010, 2011 at the casino, and for those shows we did re-construct our entire shows, in order to do 'theme shows'" said Trepp. "We built them around Songs from the Decades, so we'd do a bunch of '50s songs and bring it right on up to the present day, and we also had costume changes, and different stage sets."
For this tour, which kicks off with the two Massachusetts gigs, Straight No Chaser will be doing their usual mix of songs from all over the musical map, presented in stunning vocal arrangements, with absolutely no band or instruments used. The ten-man group is, however, a bit wary of the two rotating circular stages they'll be on for only their second time ever.
"The rotating stages were kind of a shock to us the first time we played these two places," said Trepp. "But I'm sure we'll adjust quickly this time."
Trepp will also be eager to use his inside knowledge of the Bay State while he's here.
"I'm going to be heading to Legal Seafoods, for sure," he laughed.

Anna was born in the recently torn down house on Museum Village Road, where, as a child, she earned a quarter each day for opening the neighbor's garage door when he came home from work. Anna lived her whole life in Monroe, with the exception of 25 years in Highland Mills. She and her sisters helped their parents build their family home on Prospect Street in Monroe.

Anna loved and cherished her family. She was a friend to many, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandma, great-grandma, sister, cousin, aunt, sister-in-law, animal lover and a kind, gentle, wonderful lady. She will be missed by many people who loved her and the many lives she touched in her nearly 88 years. Anna was a gracious hostess and conversationalist. She welcomed all to her home and was quick to offer a drink, something to eat, and a candy from her always filled candy dishes. She wanted all who came in contact with her to feel they were special. Anna accepted everyone for whom they were.
Anna was able to fulfill her final wish to die in her own home with all her cherished memories around, thanks to so many people. Thank you to Dr. Fauzia Paracha and her wonderful staff for all their loving care and for giving Anna a few years more to enjoy her family. Dr. Paracha never underestimated Anna's spirit and will.

It's a simple equation. Results = Developers x Time; and for Songbird, it's not working out. Yesterday, they announced they will drop Linux support in favour of Windows, Mac and to meet plans to include video features in the next release. The comments are intensely angry, as you can imagine. An untested Linux version will be kept around "for use by our Songbird engineers who develop on the Linux platform".

Teachers deserve fair evaluations
Will New York's teacher evaluation law help improve student achievement by strengthening classroom instruction or will it be a "gotcha" system that punishes dedicated and hard-working teachers for factors beyond their control?
That is the question looming over the wreckage of the state Department of Education's Common Core implementation plan. The answer — if logic and fairness matter to policymakers, including Gov. Andrew Cuomo — is, of course, the former, and why New York must delay, for at least two years, the high-stakes consequences for students and teachers from state standardized tests.
Educators and teachers unions have never shied away from evaluations. From Day 1, we committed to the framework of a valid and fair system that would help teachers hone their skills, while new, more rigorous standards would improve students' readiness for college and the job market. Everyone agreed constructive and fair evaluations should rely on multiple measures, including observations of classroom practice and limited use of student test scores.
What no one, unfortunately, anticipated was that Education Commissioner John King, using "urgency" as a straw man, would rush ahead with an unrealistic timeline and ignore repeated calls to slow down until students, teachers and districts had the time and resources to make adjustments. The failure to trust educators and listen to parents led to last year's standardized testing fiasco, in which the state required many students to take tests on lessons they had not yet been taught. Student scores plummeted and parents and educators revolted, unleashing a fusillade of criticism at the Common Core, the state's obsession with testing and the Board of Regents' plan to upload sensitive personal information to a private corporation.
The state education department's implementation plan is still trouble-filled and incomplete. Three years after they were first promised, teachers received the last of the state's Common Core math modules. In both English language arts and math, teachers are widely dissatisfied with the quality of those lessons. Many are riddled with mistakes or not age- or grade-level appropriate. Meanwhile, the state's obsession with testing and data is stressing out students, angering parents and demoralizing educators thirsting for a return to what really matters: Teaching and learning.
Last month, the Regents started the long overdue process of making the necessary corrections. Some actions — such as support for banning standardized testing in pre-kindergarten through second grade — responded to fierce advocacy led by New York State United Teachers. Other actions fell far short of what parents and teachers believe are necessary or don't do what the state education department claims they do. Many of the Regents' actions will take additional time to carry out or are merely suggestions. Proposed testing changes for students with special needs and English language learners, for example, require the Regents to apply for, and receive, federal waivers. And districts strapped by budget cuts and an undemocratic tax cap need Albany to help pay for new mandates tied to higher standards and evaluations.
NYSUT agrees with the governor's assessment that the Regents' Common Core implementation plan has been "flawed and mismanaged from the start." Yet, we disagree vehemently with his conclusion: That delaying the consequences for teachers would stop evaluations. It won't. Teachers will continue to be evaluated.
At the same time, when virtually everyone agrees the implementation plan has gone badly awry — and the Regents are, finally, taking baby steps that inch forward corrections to their failed plan — how can New York pretend that a troubled curriculum, inappropriate and obsessive testing and a disastrous roll-out of new standards will miraculously produce valid, meaningful and fair teacher evaluations? It defies logic, doesn't it?
Teachers deserve much better than "gotcha" evaluations based on discredited and invalid measures of student performance. Until the Regents and state education department fully get it right and can ensure that student assessments and teacher evaluations are accurate and fair measures of what happens in the classroom, New York must honor the intent of the teacher evaluation law and delay high-stakes consequences. For students and teachers, New York must make it right before making it count.
Richard C. Iannuzzi is president of the 600,000-member New York State United Teachers.

MONKTON — Water quality tests done by the Lewis Creek Association late last week have determined that two swimming sites in northern Addison County are currently unsafe for swimming.
The sites, along Lewis Creek at Route 7 in Ferrisburgh and Tyler Bridge Road in Monkton, tested for unsafe levels of E. coli.
The E. coli levels at Tyler Bridge were 686.7 MPN per 100ml, the unit of measurement used to detect E. coli colonies. The Route 7 site tested at 272.3 MPN per 100ml. The state standard is 77 MPN per 100ml.

Big news broke this week when Apple filed a lawsuit against HTC. Clearly, Apple's legal team closely tracks patent infringements, but has now decided to take aim. What's interesting about this is that for now they are only targeting HTC, a hardware manufacturer, when most of the content in the lawsuit addresses software, namely Android features.
Many Verizon customers are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Nexus One to Big Red. Soon after, AT&T will release the HTC Desire and Dell Mini 5. Sony's Xperia X10 could even make a surprise appearance. Coupled with Sprint and T-Mobile devices, the momentum is significant. Motorola's Droid has made the biggest impact so far and a follow up punch with the Nexus One will potentially bring Android to millions more users. The Desire on AT&T will bring the most direct competition to the iPhone, domestically.
Until now, Android has not officially made it onto Apple's radar screen… that is, until the Droid and Nexus One hit the market. Now however, Apple is taking notice and is prepared to take HTC, Google and Motorola to task over its patents. It will be a long, drawn out process and the impacts are unknown. In the mean time, Apple will try to put a damper on Android's progress. The fact is, Android buzz is at an all-time high and the latest news is feeding the engine.
For their part, Google has quickly come forward to announce their support for HTC and surely, the Motorola legal team is closely following developments. While Apple is only going after the smallest player at this point, there are plenty resources to draw from in defending HTC and Android.
As with much litigation, this may very well be settled behind the scenes with money changing hands and/or undisclosed agreements while the products and technology continue to flow. Specifically, HTC is scheduled to bring its top two products to the nation's top two carriers.

I wonder, and I worry. I wonder if a situation is emerging in the American Catholic society that ultimately will result in a weakening of the force of morality and of religion itself in our country.
Over the years, America's Catholic bishops have taken strong stands in matters that have been controversial and wide in their impact upon the overall society. Two such matters come to mind: the Church's demands that employers, and the law, recognize very defined rights of workers because these rights were seen as proceeding ultimately from every person's innate dignity as a human being. Then the Church demanded human rights, or civil rights, for persons of African descent, again because every human being possesses dignity and accompanying rights and privileges that all in the society, and the law, must respect.
Arrayed against these views were strong, vocal, contrary forces. It was not easy for the bishops to win the argument that workers were not simply at the mercy of employers, or that citizens who coincidentally had black skin were not guests of, or intruders in, a wider society in which Caucasians dominated.
Still, in those efforts, the bishops had firm allies throughout the Catholic population, gathered together in great measure because the bishops had at their disposal a very active and trusted medium of mass communication, namely the network of Catholic periodicals that once was so conspicuously a part of Catholic life in this country. In short, Catholics understood the Church because the Church's reasoning was reported, explained and advocated.
Now, the bishops are leading the Church into bold positions that are as disputed as anything in the past. For beginners, the Church is standing firm in opposing same-sex marriage. Wherever adoption of children by same-sex partners has become an issue, the Church has held its ground that any such arrangement is not in the best interests of a child or of society.
The very freedom to act upon religious convictions is under fire. No one knows what this will mean in the future.
The Church needs its members' solid support as it makes its various cases. I wonder if this support will come, because I wonder how the bishops will promulgate their message. That medium of mass communication once so vital in reporting and explaining the position of the Church that once was so well exercised by the Catholic press is limping.
It limps to a degree because American habits of acquiring information and of communicating are changing. Every Catholic periodical, every daily newspaper and the once highly regarded broadcast networks know it. Add to this the daunting economics of mass communication.
Other factors also come into play. An alarming number of people identify themselves as Catholics but rarely darken the door of parish churches. Many Catholics hesitate in their trust of Church authority. Self-centeredness reigns supreme. Divisions in opinion are too often grossly overdone. The general level of catechetical knowledge is not high.
Still, a great number of Catholics still want to hear the Church and see in the Church an imposing record, and present reality, of service, goodness and honor that give it credibility. Finally, many American Catholics interested in Church thinking still obtain information from print.
Is the Catholic print medium being dismissed too quickly? Can't the Church develop something truly broad and effective to spread the word?
Strengthen what we have. Search for ways for better outreach. Otherwise, our Church's message soon may be unheard and support for the message unsure and diminished.

Missing Dr. B., but we're in good hands with Burak
To the Editor:
Almost a month has gone by since the Lynbrook community suddenly lost one of the staunchest advocates for our children, Dr. Santo Barbarino.
Serving more than three decades with the Lynbrook schools — the past four as superintendent — Dr. B. personified what a caring education professional should be. He often put the needs of others ahead of his own.
Dr. Barbarino was a fixture at practically every school event. His smile, as well as his love for our families and children, grew wider each day he was on the job — one that he loved so much.
The Barbarino family's loss is our community's loss. Dr. B. was not only a model administrator but also a stellar professional who always strove to provide the best educational opportunities for our children and community. While I am proud that I was able to work with him when I served a Lynbrook's mayor, I'm also gratified that Dr. B was supportive of my efforts in Albany on behalf of the working families and seniors of our community.
We always worked extremely well together, with a common goal of providing the schoolchildren of Lynbrook the best possible education. He will be sorely missed.
While Acting Superintendent Melissa Burak has some big shoes to fill, I know the Lynbrook School District, taxpayers and, most important of all, our children are in great hands.

Baseball — who knew?
To the Editor:
Randi Kreiss's "Play ball! But first read 'The Art of Fielding'" in last week's issue has made me totally rethink my feelings about America's number one game, baseball. Her writing was eloquent and the quotes she chose were pure poetry.
After reading her story, I'm excited to read "The Art of Fielding." With a baseball team named the Harpooners, and the comparisons to one of American literature's most important books, "Moby-Dick," I can't wait!

Will Real Python Hackers Please Stand Up: Filipino Python hackers and enthusiasts, may I have your attention please. Several months ago, I emailed Guido van Rossum , Python's author and BDFL( Benevolent Dictator For Life), asking him for some advice on organizing a PUG( Python User Group) here in the Philippines. To my surprise, I got a quick reply from him with some instructions on how to get it started. But time did not allow me to take some actions immediately until now.
I realize that this blog could help spread my desire in starting a PUG with the help of course from those who are interested and passionate of the Python Programming Language. The benefits of having a user group is plenty just like the importance of having Linux User Groups as most of you might know or even involved with. We can gain more knowledge from each other as none of us is as smart as all of us. We can also provide some technical help to those who are just beginning to learn the language as a great way of helping the open source community.
To those who are interested, you can leave a comment here and we can keep in touch later.
I will end this post with a quote from a bestselling author named Stephen Covey. He said,
"Synergy is the highest activity of life; it creates new untapped alternatives; it values and exploits the mental, emotional, and psychological differences between people."
Think about it.
UPDATE: Pinoy Python User Group -- Pinoy PUG
UPDATE 2: Pinoy PUG is now up and running!

AP Sports Writer
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) - Kobe Bryant is having surgery Saturday on his torn Achilles tendon, ending the season for the Los Angeles Lakers star.
Teammates and coaches say Bryant is determined to return quickly from the biggest injury of his career. General manager Mitch Kupchak thinks it's realistic the 34-year-old guard could be ready for next season's opener in the fall.
Bryant was hurt late in the Lakers' 118-116 win over Golden State on Friday night. Lakers trainer Gary Vitti says Bryant's tendon was completely torn. Bryant stayed in the game to make two free throws.
Kupchak says the Lakers haven't considered parting ways with Bryant, who will make nearly $30.5 million next year.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Christy Cox is this week's Teacher of the Week.
Cox has spent 16 years showing her students how to love learning. Cox teaches fourth grade math at Town Creek Elementary in Brunswick County.
"They crack me up on a daily basis and they also inspire me," Cox said.
She said her aunt first inspired her to become a teacher.
"My aunt was a teacher, so I kind of grew up going to class with her," Cox said.
She said growing up, teachers fascinated her.
"I thought they had such an interesting job you know teaching people and shaping young minds," Cox said. "It was always very exciting to me and I always looked up to them."
She also said she has always loved being around kids.
"It's a fun job," Cox said. "I try to be firm, but fun. That's kind of always been my mantra. I try to make things as exciting as possible, but be consistent and have high expectations of my students."
She hopes she leaves them a lasting impression.
"A love for learning and the persistence for never giving up," Cox said.
For that, we wanted to leave something with her. WWAY presented Cox with a check for $300 on behalf of our sponsors, Parkway Subaru, and McDonald's.
"Thank you," Cox said.
Cox said her first priority with the money is to get her students more dry erase markers, because they use them often!
If you know someone deserving of teacher of the week, let us know.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Kristina Kell' tag.
"Survivor: Redemption Island" Episode 1: "You're Looking at the New Leader of Your Tribe" (Phillip thinks it's him!)
Han Solo: "Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keeping your distance."
[Chewie barks a question]
Han Solo: "I don't know. Fly casual."
If we've learned anything from recent seasons of "Survivor" it's the need to fly casual. Lay low. Go ahead and strategize. Go ahead and find immunity idols. Go ahead and play hard like Kristina Kell, just don't be as obvious about it as Kristina Kell. (Who is Yve + Alina from "Survivor: Nicaragua.")
However, brava to her for making a big move on the very first episode of "Survivor: Redemption Island." After "Nicaragua" I am starved for big moves. But make them SMART big moves. Pissing off Boston Rob Mariano on the first day? Not smart.
Also not smart: Making an alliance with Phillip "Pipe That" Sheppard and his motor mouth. How many sisters does he have? Seven? How have they let him get away with this "Did I mention I'm a former federal agent" and "You need to pipe that" and "We're done talking" and "hyper state of arousal" and "excuse me!" horseshite for so long?
Boston Rob — hero-worshipped right off the bat, as if "All-Stars" never happened — saw through Kristina right away and knew she was looking for the idol. (While everyone else was socializing and building camp.) He played it down. She should've tried to make an alliance out of it, but instead she panicked and decided to go against him.
Rob used her decision to go against him to go against her — calling her out at Tribal Council and making a big move in front of the impressionable young'uns. He won.
Rob proves if you get a second chance, you don't waste it. You change or at least convince people you've changed. He will do well.
And he's right: He's playing with amateurs. Francesca Hogi should've kept her mouth shut at Tribal Council and Phillip's "crazy outburst" saved Natalie Tenerelli's fate and sealed Francesca's.
Poor Francesca is now gone … but she's gone to Redemption Island. We still don't know how that will play out.
I feel sorry for Kristina, but what can you do…
While Rob was being casual, just making friends with the worshipping young'uns, Russell Hantz made a speech about changing and then went right back to his routine of trying to organize a "dumbass girls" alliance.
LOVED his patronizing exchange with Stephanie Valencia, asking her — like a teacher, leading a student — who he took to the end the first time on "Samoa." Natalie! The second time, on "Heroes vs. Villains"? Parvati!
He thinks she's stupid enough to go with the "i" name theme. He makes his pitch. She goes for it, or at least says yes, which is the correct response even if you don't mean it. (She is not living up to her namesake. The Real Stephanie, from "Palau," would've told Russell off.)
And, point of order, Parvati owned the Russell/Parv alliance. She is not a "cute little girl." She's the best player this game has ever seen.
David Murphy (my pre-season favorite) and Mike Chiesl want Russell gone. Good idea. You can't bank on having him take you to the end. He does breed paranoia and he can't be trusted to stick with people. (He tried to get rid of Parvati and he ousted her BFF, Danielle, in a blindside. He's also obnoxious and emotionally exhausting.)
Rob is on Ometepe, which has more women than men. He's good with girls. Very good. Ashley Underwood even said losing the immunity challenge made her feel like she let her "leader" down. Phillip believes he's good with girls, too, and then he pissed off his alliance mate, Kristina, and their co-conspirator, Francesca. (It's worth noting, though, that Fabio clone Matt Elrod is probably even better with girls, without having to try.)
Rob said he was going to try to vote off Francesca (or whatever Phillip called her, with his dry mouth), because Fran said right off the bat that Rob was sneaky and she didn't want him around. But Kristina's obvious moves prompted Rob to change his mind. And by his mind, I mean everyone's mind. Ometepe is now The Borg. And Phillip, Kristina and Francesca are on the outs.
Right now, even with his tribe down one player, Rob is running the game.
Who will go to Redemption Island next week, if Ometepe loses again? Phillip or Kristina? As annoying as Phillip is, he's not as dangerous as Kristina. She (over)played her hand too soon. But she does still have that idol…
Side note: Enough with the "Redemption Island" "What if?" videos — like Shambo. Really? Shambo? We get the point of coming back.

The next Samsung Galaxy device for T-Mobile may be closer than we think. Images of a T-Mobile branded Samsung Galaxy Note have surfaced, confirming rumors that the phone would be making its way to other U.S. service providers. Pictures of the phone show off some of the standard T-Mobile Android applications, but the most exciting picture confirms that the Android "phablet" is already running on Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
Naturally, we still don't know how much T-Mobile will be charging for the Samsung Galaxy Note or when they plan on releasing it. We have a feeling T-Mobile will unveil the Samsung Galaxy Note in two weeks during CTIA, but it could be another month or two before the phone makes an appearance at your local T-Mobile store.
Would any of you rather have the Samsung Galaxy Note with Android 4.0, S Pen integration and Premium Suite over the Galaxy S III?

Listening to views from around the world
Every year, the World Development Report focuses on a different topic of global importance, and, as part of its preparatory activities, consults with various groups around the world. The 2010 World Development Report on Development and Climate Change is no exception. This report has required unique attention to varying points of view because climate change affects different countries in drastically different ways. Over the past year, as we approached the task of putting together a report on such a significant topic, we sent our team of authors all over the world to consult with representatives from over 40 countries. We listened to stories about how climate change is affecting them, and sought their views on our report's evolving messages, which I described in an earlier blog post. We compiled this feedback as it was received, and have posted summaries of these consultations on our website.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
This interesting group of invertebrates includes many charismatic organisms such as hydras, sea fans, jellyfishes, sea anemones, corals, and the Portuguese man-of-war. Cnidarians all have some type of specialized stinging cell organelle.
Cnidarians' bodies typically take one of two forms: the polyp or the medusa. While the polyp form is adapted for a sedentary or sessile lifestyle, the medusa form is adapted for floating or free-swimming. Sea anemones and corals (class Anthoza) are all polyps. True jellyfishes (class Scyphozoa) are all medusae, though some have a polyp larval stage. Notably, some hydroids (class Hydrozoa) alternate between polyp and medusa forms throughout their lives.

AUGUSTA — Mainers will soon be able to keep a closer eye on their politicians.
Public broadcasting's Maine Capitol Connection channel is expected to go on air Monday and feature day-and-night, gavel-to-gavel House and Senate coverage, plus hearings, news conferences, interviews and events of the day under the Augusta dome.
A state version of C-SPAN, Capitol Connection will start off as a pilot and make changes as needed, Managing Editor Mal Leary said.
Capitol Connection will provide "a window into the work we are doing," said House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick.
House of Representatives coverage will be transmitted live, followed by recorded Senate proceedings that often take place at the same time as House activities. Some days, Leary said, the Senate will be covered live and House taped.
"Certainly the more light we shine on the work in Augusta, the more lawmakers can be held accountable to the people we serve," said Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, said.
Once budget hearings conclude, coverage will move to hearings on with high-profile issues, perhaps gun control or school funding.
The channel is also intended to be educational.
The state chief justice will explain how the court system works in one piece, legislative leaders will give the inside view on State House workings, and explanations will be given of the often complex relationship between the federal and state governments, said Leary, a three-decade State House reporter and open government leader.
The idea of televised legislative coverage has come up now and again through the years, and it gained momentum last spring following discussions among MPBN, legislative leaders and Gov. Paul LePage, who supports the idea, said Maine Public Broadcasting Network President Mark Vogelzang.
Vogelzang said he's confident the project will be a success, and he has received positive feedback in the run-up to the channel's debut. Leary thinks the program will get an ample audience.
"There's a lot of people out there who won't watch all the time but will watch when there's something of interest to them," Leary told WCSH-TV.
Last week, legislative leaders approved the plan for the channel through June, when the legislative session is due to end, and while it could continue next year there's no commitment to do so.
Launching of the programming required significant technical preparation in the weeks leading up to its debut, including a control room in the press area of the state office building. But thanks to forethought by planners when the Capitol Complex was renovated more than a decade ago, much of the necessary wiring was already in place.
Maine joins roughly half of the states with similar coverage of legislative events. But in Maine, the signal will be carried via cable as well as over the air so everybody – including people out of cable range in remote areas of the state – can get it.
MPBN's $250,000-$300,000 annual cost for the programming is all borne by member contributions.
