As you sit and talk with Jack Lengyel about his memories of taking over the Marshall football program after the tragic 1970 airplane crash that killed 75 players, fans and school officials, for a brief moment it almost feels he was describing a movie and not reality.
As you sit and talk with Jack Lengyel about his memories of taking over the Marshall football program after the tragic 1970 airplane crash that killed 75 players, fans and school officials, for a brief moment it almost feels he was describing a movie and not reality.
Actually, the 78-year-old Lengyel was doing both.
Yes, there was a movie about the crash of Flight 932, a twin-engine 95-seat Southern Airways DC-9 that left Kinston at 6:38 p.m. on Nov. 14, 1970, for an expected 52-minute flight back to Huntington, W.Va.
That move, entitled �We Are Marshall,� recounts the crash and its aftermath and how Lengyel and many others helped the football program, the university and the community recover from an almost unimaginable tragedy.
�We never thought that would ever be turned into a movie,� Lengyel said before addressing the Dixon Football Gridiron Club on Saturday night.
Lengyel has hundreds, if not thousands, of stories of his time at Marshall, many obviously focused on that first season, which began with his hiring just over a month before spring practice was set to start.
As he hit town, Lengyel had just three varsity players � three, all of whom had been hurt and hadn�t make the trip to East Carolina.
�We had to evaluate everything,� Lengyel recalled.
Personable and friendly, Lengyel is more than just a retired football coach and athletic director. He�s a storyteller, and I could have sat for hours listening to him reflect and remember about his time at Marshall.
A sampling of his memories:
� On how he managed to win two games that first season.
�We knew that we could out-condition people. We could out-discipline them. We could be tough, but we were going to be inexperienced. You could fault us for inexperience, but you could never fault us for determination, physical conditioning, etc.
�And then we would insert gambles. We would pass from punt formation. � We stunted and we gambled. You never knew what we were going to do. We never had a pattern.�
� On that first spring practice.
�I told every player, �I�m going to put you in a spot and if you don�t like where you are, come and see me because I�m not sure. I haven�t seen enough of you, but let�s say you�re the big tackle and now we�re making you play end and you want to play tackle. I may tell you, �I�m sorry son, I don�t have anybody else, you�ve got to play.� Or I may say, �OK.�
�I gave them great latitude to put the team together.�
� On Marshall beating Xavier 15-13 in its first home game on the final play.
�Xavier was favored by three touchdowns. That was just a great ballgame because of how it played out. We scored the winning touchdown with no time on the clock. In fact, the quarterback napped the ball with one second to go and the gun goes off.
�We throw a bootleg throw-back pass and Jack Crabtree levels the backside halfback and he (freshman Terry Gardner) walks into the end zone and they just came out of the stadium and filled the field.�
� On the movie, �We Are Marshall.�
�Overall, it was pretty good. (But) the last play, they run a bootleg on the 13-yard line into the sideline. I said that�s the dumbest play. I said if they ever see that play in the game, they�ll say that�s the dumbest football coach in America.
�Now what we did was fake the bootleg � and threw back to the halfback that came out here to the wide side of the field. � They said they�d correct it. They never did. What they did in the film (is) the ball is in the air, flashback; ball�s in the air, flashback;
�By the time they got to that you don�t even remember what the play was.�
� On being a �consultant� for the movie.
�I was just like any other movie consultant. They don�t listen to a damn thing you tell them.�
And then there were Lengyel�s recruiting stories. He said he went to Moeller High School in Cincinnati, which had two players at Marshall who died in the plane crash. At the time Moeller was coached by Gerry Faust, who would later go on to Notre Dame.
Lengyel said Moeller had 12 players sign �big-time scholarships.�
�Gerry said you can�t touch any of these 12,� Lengyel said, �but he said, �I got this kicker.� I said, �Geez, Jerry, I need linemen. I can�t take a kicker.� He said, �Well, he�s a good one.��
You can guess what happened, can�t you?
�The kicker goes on to Dayton,� Lengyel said. Wait. Wait. �And he beats us with a field goal.�
Did Faust give Lengyel an I-told-you-so telephone call?
�No,� Lengyel said, �I did not get a call.�

A campaign to make rocker Ozzy Osbourne a knight is gathering pace after his daughter Kelly threw her weight behind it.
Public support for Australian super-fan Helen Maidiotis' campaign has mounted since Kelly backed it online, writing on Twitter.com, "I think this really needs to happen!" alongside a link to the project's Facebook.com page.
The petition had received 13,880 signatures on Tuesday, around 6,000 short of its 20,000 target.
In a note to Britain's Honours and Appointments Secretariat David Spooner, posted on Causes.com, Maidiotis writes, "I am petitioning for Ozzy Osbourne, front man for Black Sabbath to receive a Knighthood after over 40 years of service to the music industry. Birmingham born John Michael Osbourne, has been entertaining and inspiring a great many throughout his life, he has been a huge success world wide with many successful albums with both Black Sabbath as well as in his solo career.
"Now in his mid 60′s (sic), I believe the time has come for him to receive a Knighthood. Please consider Mr Osbourne for this honour as it is well deserved and long over due."

Gary Allen Irving was 18 when he was convicted for the rapes of three young South Shore women. He was arrested in Gorham, Maine, where he's lived under an assumed name.
It took 34 years, but the State Police finally got their man – a convicted rapist from Rockland who's been on the run since 1979.
Gary Allen Irving, who's now in his 50s, was arrested Wednesday night in Gorham, Maine, where he's been living as Gregg Irving.
State Police spokesman David Procopio said Irving will be arraigned in Maine Thursday morning, and that Massachusetts authorities will begin the process to return him here the same day.
He'll be brought back to Massachusetts to be sentenced and begin his prison term.
Irving has been on the State Police's most wanted list since the late 1990s. Procopio said Maine state police and Gorham police helped Massachusetts police arrest Irving at his home.
In June 1979 Irving was convicted of the ambush rapes of three young women from Cohasset, Weymouth and Holbrook. All the attacks were committed in the summer of 1978.
Irving was 18 at the time. Convicted of rape, kidnapping and unnatural acts, he faced the possibility of life in prison. The judge who would decide his sentence allowed him to go home to his parents for a week.
Irving's father was an auxiliary Rockland police officer, so then-Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Robert Prince didn't consider Irving a flight risk.
"I extended him a privilege, and he ran out on it," Prince said in a 2005 Patriot Ledger interview.
Investigators said Irving attacked the young women the same way in all three rapes – he parked his car, hid in the bushes, and when the women walked by, he pulled them into the bushes and assaulted them at knife point.
Cohasset investigators broke the case when Irving's victim in that town recalled a seemingly minor detail – her attacker had a blue and white graduation tassel dangling from his car's rear-view mirror.
She identified him from the Rockland High yearbook. Irving was arrested at his family's home on Sept. 6, 1978.

In one of the episodes of Friends, everybody gets locked out of Monika's apartment (the episode with the long winded discussion over the differentiation between "got the keys!" and "got the keys?").
Furthermore, when Rachel moves out there is a scene where Rachel gives Monika her key to the apartment back.
How come in the last episode it shows that all six friends each had their own key to the apartment?

What happens when a fuse blows or a breaker fails its maintenance inspection? You replace it with one just like it, right? But how do you know the existing overcurrent protection device (OCPD) is correct in the first place?
Will the replacement device correctly handle the fault current available at that point in the electrical system? You can't possibly know the correct answer unless you can refer to a short circuit study. That short circuit study must be up-to-date with any changes made since the original installation.
Will the replacement OCPD trip at the right time? You can't possibly know the correct answer without a selective coordination study. The wrong answer can mean burned up equipment or needless loss of production.
You don't have time to conduct either study while production is down and operators are nervously awaiting an OCPD replacement. The solution is to schedule (and perform) the studies, determine the correct OCPDs and part numbers, and then update the OCPD replacement information. Then, you can be confident the replacement OCPDs are the correct ones.
This doesn't mean you should wait for incorrect OCPDs to fail before replacing them. That either defeats the purpose of having OCPDs in the first place or puts production at risk of nuisance trips. After conducting the studies, review the existing OCPDs against the new specifications and systematically correct any differences.

The teenager who allegedly killed three students and wounded two others when he shot up his Ohio school cafeteria did not know his victims and "chose them randomly," a prosecutor said today.
The statement was made during suspect T.J. Lane's first appearance in juvenile court today.
During the appearance, the judge did not allow Lane to be shown on camera and the prosecutor did not provide a motive for the lethal shooting spree.
But at a news conference shortly after the court hearing, prosecutor David Joyce said, "This is not about bullying. This is not about drugs. This is someone who is not well."
"[Lane] confessed to taking the pistol and admitted he went into the cafeteria and shot 10 rounds," Joyce said. "[He said he] did not know the students, but chose them randomly."
The prosecutor alleged that Lane, 17, went to Chardon High School with a .22 caliber handgun and a knife. He shot four students in the cafeteria and one in the hallway before leaving the school. He was detained by police within a mile of the school.
Lane has not yet been charged, but Joyce said he expected Lane to be charged with three counts of aggravated murder. Joyce also said that he will "absolutely" want to try Lane as an adult.
Lane's grandfather and two aunts sat beside him in court.
Joyce asked that Lane be kept in detention and his attorney did not object, so the judge ordered Lane to be taken to a detention facility.
"TJ Lane will remain in detention during proceedings due to serious nature of allegations and charges," Judge Timothy Grendell said.
Three victims have died, Nick Walczak remains in the hospital and Joy Rickers has been released from the hospital.
Russell King and Demetrius Hewlin, students wounded in Monday's shooting, died this morning, officials said today.
"We are very saddened by the loss of our son and others in our Chardon community," Hewlin's family said in a statement. "Demetrius was a happy young man who loved life and his family and friends. We will miss him very much but we are proud that he will be able to help others through organ donation."
They added, "We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."
Earlier today, King, 17, was pronounced brain dead at 12:42 a.m. at Ohio's MetroHealth Medical Center, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office. At 4:49 a.m., police were informed that King had "passed."
Another victim, identified by MetroHealth Hospital as Daniel Parmertor died from the wounds on Monday, hours after being shot.
The Chardon Police Department released four 911 calls today with people reporting multiple gun shots at the school.
"Chardon High School calling. We are in lockdown. We need assistance right now. There's a student with a gun," a woman says in one call.
A man tells the dispatcher, "Three down in the cafeteria. Students down. We need an ambulance."
The school's principal tells described the shooter's appearance to the dispatcher as, "white t-shirt, shaggy dark hair, tall, skinny."
As the Ohio town coped with the carnage, the focus turned to alleged shooter T.J. Lane who a fellow student and witness identified as the person who shot up his school cafeteria Monday.
Nate Mueller, a student who was sitting with three friends who were shot, described Lane to ABC News as "a quiet kid. Freshman year he got into a 'goth' phase and didn't talk to that many people anymore. He never egged anybody on. He just went about his business."
Some classmates described Lane as an outcast who'd been bullied. In late December, he posted a poem on his Facebook page that read: "He longed for only one thing, the world to bow at his feet," and ended ominously: "Die, all of you."
But other classmates say Lane had friends and wasn't bullied.
"He had friends. He was quiet," Chardon High School student Tyler Lillash said. "From what I heard he posted some pictures on Twitter of, like, some dude holding guns. But other than that I don't really know. I don't think he was bullied, though."
Lillash was a good friend of Parmertor, one of the teens who died, and said he "started crying uncontrollably" when he heard the news of his friend's death.
Another student, Lexi Joy, passed Lane in the hallway right before the shooting, saying they exchanged a smile and a nod, like usual.
"He didn't seem any different. He seemed just like he'd be on a normal day," Joy said. "He didn't show any expression on his face. He was just TJ."
Lane's family life had been disrupted by divorce and violence, ABC News affiliate WEWS reported. His parents divorced in 2002, and his father later served time in jail on assault and other charges, according to the station.
In 2002, Lane's father Thomas M. Lane pleaded guilty to a charge of felonious assault for pushing his ex-wife's head into a wall and strangling her until she lost consciousness for several seconds, according to court documents.
"[Thomas M. Lane] held victim's head over washing machine and poured cold water from a utility hose over her nose and mouth preventing free breathing," Deputy Charlene Sulak wrote in a complaint.
Attorney Robert N. Farinacci, who is representing Lane, released a statement on behalf of the family Monday night, according to WEWS, calling the incident "something that could never have been predicted."
"The family is devastated by this recent event. They want to express their most heartfelt and sincere condolences to the family of the young man who passed and their continuing prayers are with all those who were injured," Farinacci wrote. "TJ's family has asked for some privacy while they try to understand how such a tragedy could have occurred and while they mourn this terrible loss for their community."
Classes were canceled for all schools in the district today.
The school superintendent announced today that a Chardon Healing Fund has been started and that all money donated will be used to help those that have been impacted. A total of $150,000 has already been donated to the fund.
Chardon is a village in Geauga County, about 35 miles east of Cleveland.

New video series shows how to cook wild fish and game
Project Links Chef Jesse Griffiths, Texas Parks & Wildlife and Central Market Cooking Classes
AUSTIN – A new series of Eat Local: Cooking Texas Style videos from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) feature Chef Jesse Griffiths, who is also leading Central Market Cooking School classes this fall in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Southlake. The classes will feature TPWD experts on hand to answer questions about hunting, fishing and the outdoors.
It's easy to see why TPWD chose culinary Renaissance man Griffiths as a first partner for its new cooking videos. For years the Austin hunter, butcher, chef and sustainable food advocate has been hosting supper club experiences where urban foodies rediscover the original local food movement: fishing, hunting and eating off the land.
Griffiths' new book, "AFIELD: A Chef's Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish," is just out Sept. 18 through publisher Welcome Books. In it, he serves up vivid tales of hunting, fishing and cooking, with inviting images and savory recipes.
The new video series on the Texas Parks and Wildlife YouTube Channel debuts with four tasty episodes:
In the information area below the YouTube video window, each of these titles link to online recipes from AFIELD posted on the TPWD website. Put together, these pair the written recipes with visual demonstrations showing how it's done. The videos will also be broadcast in the Texas Parks and Wildlife television series on all Texas PBS stations and dozens of cable outlets. For those inspired to try catching their own grub, TPWD offers basic information online about how to get started hunting.
Last December, Central Market and the TPWD joined forces for classes showcasing wild fish and game cooking. These help foodies explore the renewed interest in hunting or fishing for a meal and preparing their own bounty at home. AFIELD class participants will learn the basics of butchery and how to break down a duck, rabbit and quail while supping on wild boar carnitas, among other dishes. Class cost includes one copy of the AFIELD book.
This month's classes will run 6:30-9 p.m. in Houston on Tuesday, Sept. 25, San Antonio on Wednesday, Sept. 26; Dallas on Thursday, Sept. 27, Fort Worth on Friday, Sept. 28, and Southlake north of the Metroplex on Saturday, Sep. 29. An Austin class is also coming Nov. 18. Designed for ages 18 and up, the AFIELD classes cost $75 per person. Register on the Central Market Cooking Class website. For more information on any class, find store numbers online and phone the store hosting the class.
Jesse Griffiths was nominated as Food & Wine's The People's Best New Chef in 2011, and is the owner and chef of Dai Due supper clubs of Austin with his life/work partner, Tamara Mayfield. The couple received Austin's Edible Communities Local Hero award in 2010. Images for AFIELD were shot by Austin food and lifestyle photographer Jody Horton. AFIELD is available through Welcome Books.

Saddle Pads
A saddle blanket is a woven blanket, usually made of wool, which is folded and inserted under a Saddle in order to absorb sweat, cushion the saddle, and protect the horse's back. While saddle blankets have been used for millennia with all types of saddles, today they are usually associated with the Western saddle
A Saddle pad, is thicker, usually with layers of felt, foam or other modern material sandwiched between a tough outer cover on top and a soft cover on the side in contact with the horse. The best designs absorb shock and minimize fatigue for the horse's back muscles. A pad or blanket cannot take the place of a properly fitted saddle, but a pad with shims or a special design can partially compensate for minor fitting problems. Saddle pads of various styles or shapes are used with any type of saddle.
Designs for Stock saddles
Both blankets and pads are used with western saddles, the Australian Stock Saddle and other saddle designs that feature a solid tree and cover many square inches of a horse's back. The standard stock pad is square or slightly rectangular, and is designed to show under the saddle, providing both protection and style. These pads come in many colors and designs, and at horse shows may be color-coordinated to the rider's attire.
Designs for English riding
English saddles usually use a shaped pad, called a numnah in the UK and Australia. The original purpose of the English saddle pad was simply to protect the saddle from dirt and sweat, as the panels of the English saddle provided the necessary padding and protection for the horse. It was a simple pad, either a neutral shade designed to be nearly invisible under the saddle, or, more recently, white, and shaped to fit the outline of the saddle. Today, English style pads are also used to alter the balance of a saddle and to compensate for fit problems. In addition, square pads, called saddlecloths in the UK and Australia, have become a popular style for eventing, show jumping and dressage, in part because of the ability to add insignia to the corners. They are also popular with children and casual riders because they are available in a wide range of bright colors.
There are additional new types of English saddle pads such as the "riser" pad, which is thicker in the back than the front. Other pads are made with an opening to allow extra room for the withers of the horse, some are shaped to compensate for swayback, and many modern "space age" materials are used, such as gel or memory foam to absorb shock, and modern synthetic materials with wicking properties to absorb moisture.
Other designs
A hybrid design that is a cross between a saddle blanket and a horse blanket, called a quarter sheet, is a larger blanket placed under the saddle but which covers the horse from shoulder to hip while riding. Quarter sheets are sometimes used in cold weather to keep a horse's muscles loosened up when warming up for competition, or on horses that may have to stand around when under saddle and run the risk of stiffening up if their muscles get chilled.
When the horse was first domesticated, the saddle blanket was the first and only piece of equipment placed on a horse's back, attached with a strap or rope, used primarily to protect the rider. Over time, the blanket developed into a pad, and later the pad or blanket became a buffer and support for a saddle.

Overclock NVIDIA G210M & NVIDIA 9400G M GPU's In A Dell Studio XPS 1340
This weekend I was investigating the capabilities of the two NVIDIA graphics cards in my laptop and a password cracking application called oclHashcat. The oclHashcat application uses OpenCL, the Open Computing Language, to utilize the processing power of your graphics cards GPU's to crack passwords. My laptop is a Dell Studio XPS 1340 which utilizes Hybrid SLI technology to offer a good amount of graphics power while using the least amount of battery life possible. The laptop accomplishes this by mostly using an NVIDIA graphics card, which is a NVIDIA 9400G M, that is installed on the motherboard and only calling the second graphics card, which is a NVIDIA G210M, when it needs to render something in say 3D or higher quality than the 9400G M is equipped to handle. One thing I happened upon during my research was an NVIDIA utility that will easily allow you to overclock your NVIDIA graphics cards which I describe in more detail below.

We've lightly touched on the proposed batch of updates, codenamed "Blue" that will affect multiple Microsoft platforms and service. Yesterday a job opening at Redmond was spotted and has confirmed that Microsoft will indeed be targeting the holidays, when plans to release the next major version of Windows Phone will be put into play.
Blue is an internal codename for Microsoft's products and services to be updated, refreshed and further integrated with one another - though the extent of this integration is still uncertain (unified store, etc). The job posting, which is seeking a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), confirms the above with the following excerpt:
"This is a great time to join as we're completing our current release are getting ready for our next release targeting the holiday of this year and we're chartered with keeping the momentum for Windows Phone by bringing new killer devices and delightful user experiences."
Before consumers are able to access the next major release of Windows Phone, it's believed that Microsoft will release a number of minor updates (think Portico - "GDR1"). As well as GDR1 (or General Distribution Release), we'll be set to see GDR2 this coming summer and GDR3 thereafter. These releases will include bug fixes and minor features bundled.
Windows Phone Blue will be the next big milestone for the platform, although further details aren't yet available, including what will be bundled. This is the same for the next update we'll be expecting, GDR2. The timing for Windows Phone Blue could well slip into 2014, and this job posting further adds to the possibility with the company looking at a release in the holiday season.
Microsoft has shifted from shouting out about future updates to keeping quiet and banging new versions out more frequently. Note that the recent Portico update failed to change the version number of the operating system itself (to Windows Phone 8.1 for example), which leads us to believe the GDR updates prior to Blue will be build revisions.

Andrew McCarthy writes to alert me that he has found just the place for us in Obama's cabinet. If Andy is willing to head it up as the secretary, I think I'd fit right in as assistant secretary for anger management therapy.

Upcoming Events
ESEA Reauthorization
On September 24, before a packed audience of more than 200 education association representatives, Secretary Duncan called for the prompt rewriting of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), asserting "our kids can't wait, and our future won't wait." The ESEA was most recently reauthorized in 2002, as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. "Today, I am calling on all of you to join with us to build a transformative education law that guarantees every child the education they want and need," he said, "a law that recognizes and reinforces the proper role of the federal governmentto support and drive reform at the state and local level." The Secretary credited NCLB for highlighting the achievement gap in schools and for focusing accountability on student outcomes. However, he also said that NCLB has significant flaws. "The biggest problem with NCLB is that it doesn't encourage high learning standards," he noted. "In fact, it inadvertently encourages states to lower them. The net effect is that we are lying to children and parents by telling students they are succeeding when they are not." The Secretary wants the new version of the ESEA to advance assessments that better measure student learning and an accountability system that incorporates the academic growth of students. He also wants the new version to foster the development of existing teachers and other school leaders; recruit new, effective educators; and ensure the best educators are serving the children that are the furthest behind. "Our role in Washington is to support reform by encouraging bold, creative approaches to addressing under-performing schools, closing the achievement gap, strengthening the field of education, reducing the dropout rate, and boosting college access," he stated. "All of this must lead to more students completing college."
This session was the first in a series of events where education stakeholders can offer input on the law. Assistant Secretary for Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development Carmel Martin and Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Thelma Melendez will host the events at the Department's headquarters (400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C.). The dates and times for upcoming events (subject to change) are as follows:
- Tuesday, October 13, 10:00-11:30 a.m.
- Wednesday, October 21, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, November 4, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
- Friday, November 20, 1:00-2:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, December 2, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
The events are part of the Secretary's "Listening and Learning" tour, which has already taken him to about 30 states. By the end of the year, the Secretary or a senior officer will have led an event in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several territories.
Stakeholders are also invited to submit comments to inform reauthorization to email@example.com.
Elevating the Teaching Profession
Among the priorities in his ESEA reauthorization speech, the Secretary called for stakeholders to "build a law that respects the honored, noble status of educators, who should be valued as skilled professionalsrather than mere practitionersand compensated accordingly." To advance the discussion, he will engage teachers in a national town hall meeting, during a "special edition" of the Department's "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (October 20, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET). He will take comments and questions from teachers in a studio audience and via telephone, email, and video. To contribute to the discussion, teachers and other viewers may:
- call the show during the live broadcast, at 1-888-493-9382, between 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET;
- submit comments by 6:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, October 14; or
- submit original video comments by Wednesday, October 14.
Also: Through November 2, middle, secondary, and college students (ages 13 and older) are encouraged to submit videos describing the steps they will take to improve their education and the role education will play in fulfilling their dreams. Entries may be in the form of video blogs, public service announcements, music videos, or documentaries. The public will vote on their favorites, to determine the top 20 finalists. These 20 videos will be reviewed by a panel of judges, including Secretary Duncan. The panel will select three winners, each of whom will receive a $1,000 prize.
Also: Secretary Duncan and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius recently revealed Dr. John Clarke of New York as the winner of the 2009 H1N1 PSA Contest. More than 240 videos were submitted by the August deadline, after which a panel of experts narrowed the field to 10 finalists. Over two weeks, Americans voted for their favorite video. Dr. Clarke, the Medical Director for the Long Island Railroad, performed a unique rap on how to prevent the spread of the flu. He will receive a $2,500 prize.
Common Core Standards
The Secretary issued the following statement regarding the first public draft of college- and career-readiness standards in English/language arts and math as part of the Common Core State Standards Initiative led by the National Governors Association and the Council of the Chief State School Officers:
"I applaud the leadership of this coalition of [48] states and [three] territories in joining together to develop a common core of academic standards. The draft college- and career-ready standards that were released as part of those efforts are an important step forward, and it is now in the hands of the public to provide critical feedback to state leaders. There is no work more important than preparing our students to compete and succeed in a global economy, and it is to the credit of these states that this work is getting done."
Practice Guide
A new practice guide from the What Works Clearinghouse, titled "Using Student Achievement Data to Support Instructional Decision-Making," offers five recommendations to help educators effectively use data to monitor students' academic progress and evaluate instructional practices. The guide suggests schools set a clear vision for school-wide data use, develop a data-driven culture, and make data part of an ongoing cycle of instructional improvement. The guide also suggests teaching students how to use their own data to set learning goals. What Works is an initiative of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).
Note: On October 8, in the first of a series, the What Works Clearinghouse will host a webinar concerning the recommendations of its "Helping Students Navigate the Path to College" practice guide. During the webinar, authors of the guide and college readiness experts and practitioners will discuss preparing students for college and what current research suggests is most effective. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the authors, experts, and practitioners.
ARRA Recipient Reporting
The Department has notified presidents and financial aid administrators at approximately 1,800 postsecondary education institutions that are subject to Section 1512 recipient reporting for the Federal Work-Study Program that they are required to register as users at FederalReporting.gov. In general, recipients of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds are subject to special reporting requirements. Guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) set a threshold of $25,000 for ARRA reporting, which means, in the case of the Federal Work-Study Program, only institutions receiving at least $25,000 in ARRA funding for the 2009-10 Award Year are subject to these reporting requirements. Note that the $25,000 threshold applies only to ARRA funds received and not to the total amount of Federal Work-Study Program funds received by an institution for the 2009-10 Award Year. Also note that no special reporting by institutions or states is required under the Federal Pell Grant Program.
Note: The Department is conducting a web conference on strategic planning for ARRA funds, "Linking Title I and IDEA ARRA Funds to the Education Technology and Statewide Longitudinal Data System Grants," on Monday, October 5, at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Odds and Ends
In this month's issue of The Education Innovator, Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement Jim Shelton discusses the key tenets of the new Investing in Innovation (i3) Fund and shares his perspective on the role of innovation in schools.
On September 23, Secretary Duncan and the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships visited Manchester, New Hampshire, as part of the National Conversation on Fatherhood.
On September 25, the Secretary was in Chicago to honor six individuals as the first recipients of the Associated Colleges of Illinois-Arne Duncan Awards for Educational Equity.
This week (September 29), former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Reverend Al Sharpton joined the Secretary in Philadelphiathe first stop on their tour of several cities to expose challenges, highlight reforms, and rally support for greater transparency and accountability in all schools. Future stops include New Orleans on November 3 and Baltimore on November 13. Cities were chosen both for logistical reasons and for what they can show about school reform.
According to "High School Dropout and Completion Rates in the U.S.: 2007," the latest in a series of reports from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a center of IES, 73% of high school freshmen, nationwide, graduated on time with their peers. However, this four-year graduation rate in 2006 varied widely across statesfrom a low of 55.9% to a high of 87.5%. Another key finding: students living in low-income families were approximately 10 times more likely to drop out of high school, between 2006 and 2007, than students living in high-income families. (Note: Secretary Duncan's statement on the report is available online.)
Grant awards: $108.8 million in Early Reading First grants to 28 school districts and other public and private organizations in 18 states and the District of Columbia; $6.6 million in Striving Readers grants to eight states, and $43 million for 28 five-year Teacher Quality Partnership grants to reform traditional university teacher preparation programs. (Note: Secretary Duncan will participate in three teacher education events during the month of October.) Also, the Department just announced $21.8 billion in formula grants to support state-administered programs.
Quote to Note
"For too many of our children, the promise of an excellent education has never materialized. We remain complacent about education reformdistracted by tired arguments and divided by the politics of the moment. We can't let that happen. In this new century, and in this global economy, it is not only unacceptable to delay and defer needed reforms, it's self-destructive. We can't allow one more day to go by without advancing our education agenda. Our shared goals are clear: higher quality schools, improved student achievement, more students going to college, closing the achievement gap, and opportunities for children to learn and succeed."
|Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (9/24/09), on "Why We Can't Wait" for ESEA Reauthorization
Upcoming Events
On a weekly basis, the Secretary's public schedule is posted online.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) will release the 2009 Nation's Report Card for Mathematics on October 14. The report card will present scores for fourth- and eighth-graders from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Department of Defense schools. NAEP is administered by NCES.
The 2009 Federal Student Aid (FSA) Conference in Nashville (December 1-4) is the premiere training and networking opportunity for financial aid professionals.

Classic Car Corner: Auction Time
- Written by Tom Berg, Windermere
AUCTION TIME: On August 31 and Sept 1, I was able to attend the Lucky Car Auction held at the beautiful LeMay Family Collection grounds at Marymount in Spanaway. I had entered my 65 Mustang in the auction so took it down there on Friday which allowed me to include a round of golf at the nearby Classic Golf Course.
It's always good to combine one's interests whenever possible. I drove down again on Saturday which was the 36th annual open house put on by the LeMay family. I figured I would hang around my Mustang to tell potential buyers what a great car it was but actually ended up wandering around looking at the other cars, talking to their owners and trying to figure out which one I would most like to have as well as watching most of day one of the auction.
On Sunday I once again made the long drive south because this was the day my car would reach the auction block. I was one of the earlier cars to come up and had managed not to buy anything so far. When watching the auction each lot seems to take a long time since they are trying to squeeze out as much as they can from the bidders. Most of these cars had reserves and a little more than half actually sold. When it was my turn on stage time really seemed to fly! I got a decent opening bid and it increased quickly to a price I could accept after I asked the auctioneer for a discount on his commission. After all the preparation and waiting time I did get a decent price for the car I really didn't want anyway. Later when I went to sign some seller papers I met the buyers and they were the one couple I had actually talked to at my car earlier. I had discounted them as buyers since she was an older lady and wanted an automatic and this was a 4 speed with a stiff clutch and a hot engine. I hope she likes it. Had I hung out around my car and talked to people I may have gotten a better price.
I had promised myself I would buy no more cars this year but since I now had one less car and some money burning a hole in my pocket I thought I could get a little more serious about buying another one. I bid on a nice 60 Studebaker, a beautiful 90 Jaguar with low miles, a great looking red 62 Thunderbird and a well worn Studebaker Avanti all of which fortunately went for more than I was willing to pay.
Not surprisingly though I have accidently found a car with my name on it and my new-found dollars are long gone again. Now I'm in the midst of building another covered parking area at home. It was an all-together entertaining weekend and I will certainly be there again at the end of August 2014.
After two of my cheap vinyl carports collapsed during "Snowmageddon" and cost me a lot of repair $$$ in 2012 I bought a decent metal carport from Ron at R&G Automotive here in Woodinville.
I've now decided it needs some sides on it so I went back and introduced myself to the new owner Brad Dammen (Ron's now at home in his rocking chair eating Bon Bons). Brad does the same work as Ron but also specializes in high end paint jobs so welcome to the community, Brad.

Strengthening Health Systems in North and Central America: What Role for Migration?
In this study the authors explore the intersecting dynamics of evolving demographic trends, shifting epidemiological profiles, and worker migration in five countries in the Americas in order to develop policy recommendations for health workforce development, specifically for nursing personnel. The countries highlighted in this study are El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and the United States.
The report begins by providing general background information on the health care sector in each country. Section II explores the phenomenon of nurse migration and highlights the contributions of internationally educated nurses (IENs) to the U.S. health care system. Nursing human resource issues specific to each country and their links to general educational issues that affect nursing are briefly discussed. Section III reviews the major health care issues in each country, discussing how changing demographics and epidemiological profiles increase the demand for services and how nursing services can meet this new demand.
Using migration to meet health care demand is complex. Nonetheless, the authors advocate exploring and investing in the possibility because of the potential benefits to health care systems, economies, and patient outcomes. Recommendations include investments in educational systems, ways to facilitate the credentialing of nurses across borders, developing visas based on improving language concordance between nurses and patients disproportionately affected by health disparities, integrating transitional educational programs as part of the credentialing process for internationally educated nurses, and ways to capitalize on "hidden nurses" of Hispanic heritage who are currently living in the United States.

The following review is from the Deal Seeking Mom project administrator, Mandi Ehman:
As the weather gets warmer, spring cleaning is on a lot of people's minds and Arm & Hammer and Electrolux want to help Deal Seeking Mom readers tackle this big project with products that make cleaning easier and our homes healthier.
Arm & Hammer
We're all familiar with the orange box of Arm & Hammer baking soda which naturally reduces household odors in refrigerators, pantries and trashcans and can be used as a natural cleaning agent, but Arm & Hammer also has a line of cleaning products that use the power of baking soda to help you tackle specific cleaning jobs around your home, including:
- Arm & Hammer Clean Shower
- Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Shaker
- Arm & Hammer Scrub Free Cleanser
- Arm & Hammer Carpet & Fabric Odor Eliminator
- Arm & Hammer Essentials Trigger Spray
- Arm & Hammer Trash Can Deodorizer
- Arm & Hammer Fabric Softener Sheets
In addition, Arm & Hammer vacuum bags and filters are allergist recommended and offer HEPA filtration, which keeps 99.97% of small particles like dust, pollen and pet dander from being re-introduced into the air. With more than 120 different styles of vacuum accessories, there are Arm & Hammer filters for nearly all brands and models of vacuum cleaners.
Our family has always been a huge fan of Electrolux appliances, and we recently bought our first Electrolux vacuum, the Electrolux ErgoRapido Bagless/Cordless Stick Vacuum, which we love for daily vacuuming to keep up with the crumbs and dirt that our four girls seem to create.
So when Electrolux offered us the opportunity to try the Electrolux Versatility bagless/upright model, we were excited to see if it would live up to the standard set by the stick vacuum. It's hard for us to find a vacuum that works well on our hand-crafted custom wood floors without scratching them up, but we were hopeful this would do the trick while providing us with more cleaning power than the stick vacuum or our resident Shop Vac.
The box arrived, and my husband immediately unpacked it and began vacuuming, and it really did live up to our expectations. The innovative handle quickly releases a telescoping wand system that reaches up to 14 feet. We've rarely used vacuum attachments in the past because of the extra work of hooking them up or switching power to the wand, but this process is automatic in the Versatility, making it easy to quickly dust a high shelf, vacuum hair off the couch or clean up crumbs in the snack drawer.
Additionally, the Versatility vacuum offers:
- A three-stage cyclonic suction system that separates most of the dirt from the air before it reaches the filter, so the filter stays clean and the vacuum retains maximum cleaning power.
- A bottom-empty dust cup to make emptying it easy.
- A HEPA filter that removes 99.97% of small particles from the air while vacuuming and includes charcoal technology to absorb and eliminate odors.
- Quick and easy switching from hard floor to carpet mode, making it easy to vacuum your entire home.
