Quick User Interfaces with Qt
When building user interfaces, a common scenario is to show a list of data. As you already have guessed, QML provides support for this as well. Listing 2 shows how this can be used.
Listing 2. A List View
import Qt 4.7 Rectangle { width: 200; height: 200 ListModel { id: countries ListElement { name: "Denmark"; capital: "Copenhagen" } ... ListElement { name: "Sweden"; capital: "Stockholm" } } Component { id: countryDelegate Item { width: listView.width; height: 50 MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onClicked: { listView.currentIndex = index; } } Rectangle { x: 3; y: 3 width: parent.width-6 height: parent.height-6 color: listView.currentIndex==index?"white":"lightgray" radius: 8 Column { anchors.fill: parent anchors.margins: 5 Text { font.bold: true; font.pixelSize: 18 color: "#444444"; text: name } Text { font.italic: true; font.pixelSize: 10 color: "#666666"; text: capital } } } } } Component { id: highlightFrame Item { width: listView.width; height: 50; y: listView.currentItem.y Rectangle { x: 3; y: 3 width: parent.width-6 height: parent.height-6 radius: 8 border.width: 4; border.color: "darkGray" } } } ListView { id: listView anchors.fill: parent model: countries delegate: countryDelegate highlight: highlightFrame focus: true highlightFollowsCurrentItem: true } }
The example in Listing 2 consists of four major parts: the countries model, the countryDelegate component, the highlightFrame component and the ListView item, which puts it all together. Starting from the bottom, the list view item refers to a model, a delegate and a highlight. These are the model and components implemented earlier. In addition to this, some tuning of the view's behavior is needed to allow keyboard navigation in parallel with mouse navigation.
Returning to the top of the example, the model is a ListModel containing a set of ListElement items. The properties of the list elements are made available through the view, as you can see if you continue into the countryDelegate component and its text items.
The countryDelegate component is what the list view uses to visualize each item of the list. It consists of a mouse area and a rectangle with two texts in it. The mouse area sets the current item of the list if an item is clicked, while the texts show the data of the model. Notice that the text property of the items is bound to the property names used in the list elements of the model. This makes it easy to tie items in a delegate to model data.
Let's continue to the highlightFrame component. This is a frame that the view places over the current item. In this case, it adds a border to the item. The countryDelegate changes its own background color if it is the current item. This is because the current item is shown without a background color instead of with one. That is not possible to achieve using only a highlight frame.
Finally, the list view puts it all together. The result is shown in Figure 2.
It is common to rely on the QML viewer tool when developing QML applications. It also is common to use QML for populating models with data, be it phony or real data. Most state management and work also can be carried out from QML with the aid of JavaScript. However, in most cases, a native application is needed as the runtime environment for any QML application. This is where the QtDeclarative module enters the picture.
For readers who are familiar with Qt, it is good to know that QML consists of a language engine, a context for the scripts to execute in and a QGraphicsScene to operate inside. All these components can be set up manually—it even is possible to add QML components to an existing scene. This way, you can upgrade an existing application gradually.
If you start from scratch with a QML application, the QDeclarativeView encapsulates all these components into a single class, which also happens to be a widget. For an application relying only on QML for its user interface, this is all that it takes.
To integrate C++ objects into QML, the QObject meta-system is used. This means that any QObject-derived class can be exposed to QML. From QML, properties, signals and slots will be available. As QML properties are bound to values, rather than assigned, any changes in the C++ part of the application is reflected automatically in the QML part.
It is beyond the scope of this article to go into details on this, but in the first example, the state could have been driven from C++. This would have let QML handle what it is good at: visuals and dynamic transitions. In the second example, a typical application would provide the model from C++—again, letting QML focus on the visuals.
This approach has a number of benefits. The first one is that the user interface is created quickly using QML as the whole language is focused on that goal. The other is that you are forced to maintain a clear division between the user interface and the rest of the application. This leads to more structure and better code.
Johan Thelin is a consultant working with Qt, embedded and free software. On-line, he is known as e8johan.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Lou Donaldson Quartet
As autumn has slowly descended on Greater Miami, so have a number of world-renowned senior musicians. The season has already brought piano maestro Bebo Valdés, master percussionist Candido Camero, and Candido's Conga Kings cohort Carlos "Patato" Valdés all of them in their eighties. Now Lou Donaldson, the great alto saxophonist who turned 80 on November 1, joins the club.
Early in his career, Donaldson recorded with drummer Philly Joe Jones, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, Thelonious Monk, and other bop luminaries, cultivating the seeds planted by Charlie Parker. He also played on the rarefied 1954 A Night at Birdland sessions with the Art Blakey Quintet (a predecessor of the Jazz Messengers) alongside a youthful Clifford Brown on trumpet, Horace Silver on piano, and Curly Russell on bass. After developing his own leadership skills with Blakey, Donaldson decided, as did dozens of other Jazz Messengers over the years, to form his own group.
Donaldson worked with many different lineups, usually those including pianist Herman Foster, and began to incorporate more R&B and gospel influences. Later more reflective soul moods began to round out the signature Donaldson group sound. This rich vintage mix is what Lou Donaldson brings to town.
Lonnie Smith the smooth sorcerer of the Hammond B-3 organ and long-time friend and collaborator of Donaldson's ensures the floorboards at Sandoval's will be pulsating. Donaldson's classic album Alligator Boogaloo, a swampy amalgam of soul jazz and hard bop, featured Smith prominently. In 1968 Donaldson and Smith released another highlight of this period, Midnight Creeper, an earthy, reserved record that, as the title suggests, swirls slowly with a nocturnal mystery. Andrés Solar

How can I get my customer reviews on my site? I have installed plugin, but there appears to be no 'Add new Customer review' button?
Did you enable reviews on at least one post or page?
If you went through those setup steps and you're not seeing any buttons, then it's possibly a conflict with another plugin or your theme (conflicting styles are unfortunately rather common with this one). Try disabling all other plugins and switch to TwentyEleven to see if it works. If it does, then reactivate plugins one by one to see where the conflict lies.
Wrong Google account
I originally setup my wordpress site with me personal Google account, I since started an account in the name of my website and want the share buttons to post to my new account. I have tried everything I can find in Help forums to get it to show my new Google account, I even uninstalled Google analytic and removed any traces of my old Google account but when I hit the share button it keeps coming up with the old account. Where is it getting this information from it must be embedded in the code somewhere.
You need to create a page which will display the reviews. When you create the page, you will see options to enable WP Customer Reviews for that page. If you do that, you'll then be able to visit the page and submit reviews to it.

Education lecture today at Marquette; next week at UWM
For anyone (other than us) who's interested in wonky education policy matters, two talks coming up at Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee might pique your interest.
The first is today at 4:30 p.m. at Marquette, where University of Chicago professor Charles Payne will talk about "Education in the Age of Obama." The lecture will take place in the Monaghan Ballroom in the Alumni Memorial Union building at the intersection of 14th St. and Wells St.
Next Monday at 7:30 p.m., UWM will feature "An Evening with Jonathon Kozol" as part of its Distinguished Lecture Series. Kozol is a long-time expert on education reform, social justice and urban education. He's also, according to my colleague Alan Borsuk, impossible to quote because he's such a trough of information, but very smart.

UW Council hosts briefing on conduct code changes for students at UWM
The University of Wisconsin United Council of Students is organizing an information briefing for students and a press conference about the proposed changes to the UW System student conduct code.
The student organization's events are scheduled to happen at UW-Milwaukee March 5, just before the university system hosts a public hearing on the changes, which would expand administrators' ability to punish students for off-campus misconduct.
Under the current code, university officials are limited to disciplining students primarily for on-campus misconduct. The code allows them to punish students who commit assaults and damage property off-campus if the victims are other university students or employees, but it is unclear in other cases.
The new policy would explicitly allow university officials to discipline students for off-campus actions if the behavior "adversely affects a substantial university interest." Some students have voiced opposition to the effort, saying students could be punished twice for behavior - in court and at school.

Teach for America jobs hotly sought
Want to be a Teach for America teacher in Milwaukee or more than 30 other places in the US where the Peace Corps-like organization is at work? You better stand out from the pack, because the pack is getting bigger each year.
Following up on the announcement Friday that Teach for America will begin operations in Milwaukee, Kerci Marcello Stroud, a spokeswoman for the organization, released figures on how hot interest is among graduating college students. TFA signs up graduates to spend their first two years out of college teaching in high-needs schools.
More than 35,000 students applied in this year's round, an increase of 42% over last year -- and last year was a record. About 3,600 were selected for the program last year and the number will presumably end up about the same or a bit higher this year. »Read Full Blog Post

Some follow-up on Bradley Tech
The piece on Bradley Tech that ran in Monday's Journal Sentinel got a fair amount of reaction. A couple that stand out:
1) An e-mail from Tyrone Dumas, well-known community activist and MPS official who currently holds the title of "project coordinator for community engagement and building usage." Dumas included a copy of an e-mail he sent to Ed Kupka, principal of the high school, in January, about the large commons area at the entrance of the school functions, which some people think is one of the sources of problems keeping the school under control. Dumas wrote:
"I would like to suggest to you and the Bradley Tech Commission that you initiate a study of the lobby and main entry functions for future redesign. »Read Full Blog Post
The end for Washington school vouchers?
The private school voucher program in Washington is in trouble. That doesn't directly mean anything to Milwaukee, with the largest such voucher program in the country, but it can be seen as a sign of the political standing of vouchers these days .
The Washington program is fairly small -- about 1,700 students -- especially when compared to the 20,000 students using public money to attend private schools in Milwaukee. But Washington and several cities in Ohio are the only other cities that have such programs And the Washington program is the only voucher effort auhorized by Congress and funded with federal dollars.
But that authorization runs out after the 2009-2010 school year and a provision in a spedning bill before Congress now is widely reagrded as putting the program on a fairly definite path to ending at that point, as a story in the New York Times describes. The Washington Post editorialized in favor of giving the program a longer lease on life, pointing directly to Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.) as one of the people behind the plan. »Read Full Blog Post

Jason Fields: Time to focus on quality
State Rep. Jason Fields (D-Milwaukee) says he's fed up with the tired conversations and bickering about a lot of school issues and "I am no longer willing to indulge those who tell me the problem is too big, too complicated or too politically uncomfortable to solve." Fields issued a statement Wednesday saying he wants to focus on the actual quality of education and how to get high performing teachers into more classrooms.
A bit of context: I've heard talk for several months of behind-the-scenes conversations going on among a range of education leaders in town about focusing community concern more on quality and less on political controversy. Fields knows about this conversation, I'm sure. Nothing concrete has come of the talks, which is why I haven't written about them. Is his statement a sign that something might emerge? And in general, what does Fields' statement mean for his positions on what are likely to be heated decisions surrounding both MPS and the Milwaukee voucher schools in the Legislature in coming months?
No such thing as safe sext (ing)
Students walking past city bus shelters near high many schools this morning may see this latest advertisement from the United Way of Greater Milwaukee:
The new "Think before you text" awareness campaign aims to startle teens into realizing how dangerous it is to send revealing photos of themselves over mobile devices or the Internet. The practice of "sexting," or transmitting revealing images of yourself via digital devices, has been a national issue for some time, but garnered headlines locally in recent weeks.
The United Way had workers plaster up the new billboards at city bus shelters last night.
'Crazy love,' 'no excuses' = successfully educated urban poor

Henry Tyson, the charming, no-nonsense British superintentent of St. Marcus School, challenged about 100 young professionals at Bucketworks to tour his institution and other successful charter and voucher programs around the Milwaukee area, such as Bruce Guadalupe Community School, Milwaukee College Preparatory School, St. Anthony School, Messmer Catholic Schools and others.

Waukesha students win with C-SPAN
Three Waukesha West High School students have won an honorable mention in C-SPAN's 2009 "StudentCam" competition.
Students Ben Manns, Adrian Arlt and Jacob Berg won recognition from the cable news station for their video, "Fears from the Heartland." The award is worth $250.
According to a press release from C-SPAN, the competition invited middle and high school students to produce five- to eight-minute videos around the theme of "A message to the new president: What is the most urgent issue for the new president to address after taking office, and why?"
Over 1,900 students from 41 states, the District of Columbia and Guam entered the competition, according to the press release.
To the victors go the snarky remarks
The Whitefish Bay High School boys basketball team clobbered Milwaukee Marshall 56-25 in a state tournament game last Saturday at the Al McGuire Center. That's a fact. Here's an opinion from Larry Miller, retired principal of W.E.B. Dubois High School, one of the schools in the Marshall building and an unopposed candidate for the Milwaukee School Board this spring: The Whitefish Bay fans were rubbing it in in an unsportsmanlike manner.
In a letter to the Journal Sentinel, with copies to Whitefish Bay officials, Miller wrote:
"An article in Sunday's Sports section reported on a playoff game on Saturday between Whitefish Bay High School and Milwaukee Marshall. What the article did not describe was the behavior of the Whitefish Bay students. They had a squad of 100 students who stood the entire game chanting personalized attacks against individual Marshall players, calling them by name. At the end they yelled, 'overrated' and 'thanks for the practice.' They were surrounded by hundreds of adult supporters. »Read Full Blog Post
Vouchers in Washington
The huge federal appropriations bill that President Barack Obama signed on Wednesday included a provision that would very likely end the federally-supported school voucher program in Washington, D.C., in June 2010. About 1,700 students attend private schools using the voucher, which puts Washington in third place behind Milwaukee and Cleveland when it comes to urban versions of the controversial idea.
But Obama administration officials have expressed support for at least allowing the existing voucher students to continue in their schools -- while expressing their general opposition to vouchers as a school reform. Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday that the president will find a way to reverse the congressional action and allow the kids to stay in their schools. "It wouldn't make sense to disrupt the education of those that are in the system," Gibbs said, according to CBS News.
A safe assumption is that the final chapter hasn't been written on the future of the D.C. vouchers.

Keep up with Conserve
As things continue to heat up at the Northwoods' Conserve School, the school's parents and students have turned to the Internet to keep everyone updated.
A blog called Bring Back Conserve contains regular posts, including the New York Times' take on the decision by the private school's trustees to turn the four-year boarding school into a semester-only program starting next year.
In addition, Conserve Students have their own Twitter profile, which they used to tweet from last week's hearing and to provide updates on the state lawsuit filed recently. (One example: "Judge is totally for letting the school stay open. But he says that the 'irreparable harm' is really the issue.")
The latest news on the Conserve School Web site is the Dean's List for the first semester of the current school year, although information about the school's planned transition can be found here.

Happy (premature) Pi Day!
That's right. Apparently that Greek letter that is also a number has its own day.
It's March 14 (or 3/14, the traditional day for celebrating 3.141592653589...), but the middle school students at Brookfield Academy are celebrating it today as there is no school tomorrow.
On the schedule are contests to see which students can recite the most digits of pi as well as a pi-related "Are You Smarter than a 5th grader?"-type game. There's also a free-hand circle drawing competition. (Get it? Because pi represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.)
To top it all off, the school says students will be served pie for dessert. Now, don't you wish you were there?
March Academic Decathlon Madness
Waukesha West will go for an astounding eight titles in a row next week at the state Academic Decathlon competition in Madison.
Twenty teams are competing altogether. In addition to Waukesha West, there are four other teams from Waukesha County schools, representing Brookfield Academy, Menomonee Falls, New Berlin Eisenhower and Pewaukee. Teams from Slinger High School in Washington County and Walden III High School in Racine also made it to the state event.
For those Decath-oholics out there (you know who you are), both the Super Quiz Oral Relay and awards program have been moved to Mills Hall on the UW-Madison campus. They take place Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post

University of Wisconsin System enrollment hit a record high in Fall 2008, continuing a pattern of steady growth, officials said today.
Enrollment hit 175,056 total students – an increase of 1% from the previous year, and an all-time record. The increase holds true when you look at the number of course credits carried by students, too. The system had 149,494 full-time equivalent enrollments – also a record.
While undergraduate enrollment grew, the university system saw a 1.1% drop in total enrollment for graduate and professional programs from the previous year, to 24,287 students, according to the report. »Read Full Blog Post

UWM building projects get a boost: Gov.

UW-Platteville chancellor to retire
University of Wisconsin-Platteville Chancellor David Markee on Tuesday announced his plans to retire in August 2009, officials said.
Markee, one of the longest serving chancellors in the UW System today, has served UW-Platteville in the top leadership post since 1996.
"Under Chancellor Markee's tenure, UW-Platteville has seen tremendous expansion in both student enrollment and improved campus facilities," UW System President Kevin Reilly said in a prepared statement.
Reilly said UW-Platteville has been the fastest growing of all UW campuses over the past decade, with the student body expanding by 46% since 1998.
Under Markee, UW-Platteville has seen visible changes on campus, including a new student center, residence hall, engineering building, and four facilities at Pioneer Farm.
UW-Platteville campus enrolls more than 7,500 students. With about 700 faculty, academic staff, and classified staff members, the UW-Platteville chancellor is responsible for an annual budget exceeding $100 million.
Markee, 66, earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from UW-Platteville. He is the only chancellor in the UW System currently leading his own alma mater. His immediate prior career included 16 years at Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff as vice president for student services and vice president for institutional advancement.
Reilly announced that UW-Platteville Provost Carol Sue Butts has agreed to serve as interim chancellor upon Markee's retirement. Butts has served as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs since 1998.
Reilly will work with the UW System Board of Regents and the UW-Platteville campus community to begin a search for the new chancellor, aiming to have the new chancellor take office by summer 2010.
The first step in the process is appointing a search and screen committee comprised of faculty, academic staff, classified staff, students and community representatives. That group will be responsible for initiating the national search and recommending finalists for consideration by Reilly and a special committee of the board.
County supervisor calls for elected board at MATC
Milwaukee County Supervisor Joseph Rice introduced a resolution today calling for direct election of board members at Milwaukee Area Technical College.
The nine board members at MATC are appointed to three-year terms by a group of 25 school board administrators from around the college district. The technical college board appointment process is spelled out in Wisconsin's state statutes, and altering it for Milwaukee would require a legislative change.
Rice, who served on the MATC board himself in the 1990s, said the appointment system creates taxation without representation. The technical college boards decide each year how much to tax property owners. »Read Full Blog Post

Gateway, UW-Parkside to sign transfer agreement
Officials from Gateway Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside will sign an agreement Thursday that will allow students to transfer a block of 30 general education credits from Gateway to the four-year university.
This is the first time students will be able to transfer a block of general studies courses to UW-Parkside without having completed a Gateway degree, officials said.
The 30-credit General Studies Transfer Certificate offers students a less expensive way to earn their general education credits as they consider a bachelor's degree at UW-Parkside. Students who transfer under the agreement would enter UW-Parkside as sophomores.
The agreement will be signed at a Gateway Technical College Board of Trustees meeting at 1:30 p.m. in the Center for Bioscience & Information Technology, 3520 30th Ave. in Kenosha.

Schools and the stimulus money
What to do with the federal economic stimulus money coming to schools is a hot issue nationwide. Especially in places, such as Milwaukee, with large numbers of low income students, the amounts are big (more than $100 million for MPS over two years) and there are huge unanswered questions. If you're looking for what appears to be some pretty solid information summarizing what the national picture is, the Center on Education Policy has put out a couple pieces that might be useful. Scroll down the Web site to "What's New" and check out the first two items.
Woodward and Mathias candidate forum
Annie Woodward and Michael Mathias, the candidates for the fourth district Milwaukee School Board seat representing much of the north side, will appear at a forum from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday (March 26) at the Polish Falcon, 801 W. Clarke St., The Educators Network for Social Justice is organizing the forum along with some Riverwest residents, according to Melissa Tempel. The co-sponsors are Ald.

MTEA: Talk to us first
Leaders of the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association seem to have found recent stories in the Journal Sentinel a bit more informative than they preferred, especially the March 16 story in which Superintendent William Andrekopulos suggested that MPS as a whole consider going to a year-round schedule and kindergarten through eighth grade students have longer school days.
"Both items are mandatory subjects of bargaining," a newsletter from the union told members. "The superintendent should have discussed these matters with your negotiation team first." The newsletter included extended excerpts from the news story.
Andrekopoulos suggested the steps as ways to "disrupt the status quo" in MPS and improve achievement, enrollment and stability. So far they have not been put in the form of actual proposals. He wants costs related to such steps to be covered by the federal economic stimulus money coming to MPS.
Committee tells Elmbrook: Drop class rank, please
Members of an Elmbrook Public Schools committee tasked with researching the pros and cons of high school class rank have come to a conclusion: they'd like the practice discontinued.
Here's their 10-page report, which the School Board will discuss during a work session Tuesday night at 8:45 p.m. at the Central Administrative Offices building.
The class rank committee started looking into this issue last fall.
MPS parents say 'no' to year-round schools, 'yes' to small classes, tech ed
The last of three public input sessions about how Milwaukee Public Schools should allocate federal stimulus money packed an auditorium at Central Office Monday night as parents and teachers made passionate pleas to a nodding district superintendent.
Residents can still make suggestions for how to spend the federal stimulus money in Milwaukee schools by calling the MPS stimulus hotline at 414-475-8925, or by filling out this online survey.
A longer school day and year-round schooling, two stimulus money options put forth by Superintendent William Andrekopoulos, were not well-received Monday night. Most speakers opposed the idea of chopping the summer vacation into longer breaks throughout the year. »Read Full Blog Post(6)

Hold off on that Siefert plan
A Milwaukee School Board committee was scheduled Tuesday night to take up a proposal to move a program for "at risk" students who are 17 to 21 years old into Siefert School, an elementary program at 1547 N. 14th St.
The program, known as Kilmer North, is currently located in rented space near N. 27th St. and W. North Ave. It shares space with Transition High School, a program for teens returning from incarceration or expulsion. Transition is expanding so Kilmer North needs a new home. Siefert has more space than it needs. Thus, the proposal for the move.
However, Siefert staff and parents were decidedly unhappy with the idea and began organizing opposition. Not surprisingly, placing grade school kids and youths who have a record of not doing well in school in the same building pressed some people's buttons.
The result: MPS administrators are backing off and the proposal has been pulled from Tuesday's agenda. It's not known yet what will happen next or where Kilmer North will end up.
Superintendent candidates turn debate to e-mails, press releases
The two candidates for state superintendent of public instruction are accusing each other of possible legal violations regarding the use of state resources by their supporters.
The first salvo was fired by Rose Fernandez after it was reported that her opponent, Tony Evers, had corresponded about a fund-raiser with a Green Bay school administrator who was using his government e-mail account.
"This 'win at all cost' mentality is a poor example to set for our state's schoolchildren," Fernandez said in statement released late Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

"Is there a will to change?"
With the future of North Division High School a hot subject -- the School Board voted Thursday to switch back from having several schools in the building to being a single North Division -- this e-mail from Al Godshaw is important reading. Godshaw, a long-time MPS guidance counselor, retired from North several years ago but has remained involved. Here's a slightly edited version of his descrption of the process for encouraging current students in the building to go to MATC:
"123 MATC applications were submitted by seniors in the multiplex for the class of 2009. MATC's admission test, the Acuplacer, was given the first time early in the year, and a second testing was arranged to be administered on their campus on Friday Feb. 20. All expenses were picked up by MATC, including 2 bus charters, lunch, and fee waivers for the applications. A special six-hour workshop was provided by MATC to improve the first set of scores. Mr. Kern, a former faculty member at North Division, was hired by MATC to conduct those workshops on Feb. 17 and 18. Only 65 students of the 123 took advantage of this opportunity, despite the fact that they were given invitations in their morning classes. Many students came to the workshop in room 247 and got up and walked right out after a short period of time. Some came only one of the two days and I still allowed them to re-test. Some opted out of the workshop for another activity going on in the building.
"On Feb 20, only 48 of the 65 eligible students actually boarded the bus to re-test at MATC. The results are dismal and quite alarming. The average reading comprehension score was 44.8, equating barely to a fifth grade level. Most two-year programs at MATC require a 70 in this area to be fully admissible. In math only six of the 48 made it to elementary algebra. The average math score of the other 42 was 28.4, meaning they could not add, subtract, multiply, and divide, and do basic fraction skills and percentages. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

No MPS academic chief yet
Several months ago, MPS Superintendent William Andrekopoulos set out to fill four major positions in MPS. As of last week's School Board meeting, two have been filled and one has been changed. But the biggest one, chief academic officer for the system, is still open. Andrekopoulos said he has interviewed some candidates but hasn't yet found one he thought was the right person for the job.
The board approved his pick of Catherine Thome to oversee a range of educational areas, including currioculum, professional development, early childhood programs and bilingual programs. Her title is now "director, educational services," and her pay is $128,847 a year. Thome was previously in charge of MPS compliance with requirements of an agreement with the state Department of Public Instruction aimed at ending MPS' status as a "district identified for improvement" under the No Child Left Behind law.
Sharonda Robinson was named to one of the other jobs, literacy curriculum specialist, at $98,312, and Andrekopoulos said he has decided not to name someone to be the systemwide math curriculum specialist, splitting the job between two people.
WEAC spends heavily on Evers
In campaign finance disclosures filed Monday, the political action committee of the Wisconsin Education Association Council reported spending more than a half-million dollars in TV and radio buys in support of superintendent of public instruction candidate Tony Evers.

In addition, WEAC contributed $8,625 to Tony Evers for State Superintendent on Feb. 2 and last week reported spending $15,575 for other expenses related to the campaign. »Read Full Blog Post(8)

Three days after trial, man faces new felony chargeJune 27,2013By Patrick McArdle
BENNINGTON — A Pleasant Street man who was found guilty earlier this month of recklessly shooting a deer from the road in November was recently arraigned on a new charge after police said he kissed a 14-year-old girl.
Joshua P. Hayes, 21, of Bennington, pleaded innocent last week in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Michael Plusch of the Bennington Police Department said he met with a woman on June 18 who had come to the police station to report that her 14-year-old daughter was in an inappropriate relationship with an older man.
Plusch said he and Wendy Nolan, an investigator with the Vermont Department of Children and Families, met with the girl at the Bennington County Child Advocacy Center on June 19.
During the interview, the girl said she and Hayes had "developed this relationship" over the previous four weeks, primarily through text messages. She said she had told him she was 14 and he had told her that he knew he could "get in trouble" because of their relationship.
Plusch said the girl told investigators that Hayes had sent her a text message on June 16 asking her to come to his apartment. At the apartment, Hayes kissed her and bit her neck, she told police. She said the contact was consensual, according to the affidavit.
While she told police that Hayes had been drinking beer, she said she had not had any alcohol.

Nice looking. Keep it up./
Ony thing that would bug me is the ubiquitous green arrows that pop up next links on mouseover.
Maybe replace them with a splatter image or similar?
oh, and maybe put a little bit more focus on the content, like put it in a box or give it a border.
I really like the distressed look, I think you played it just right, it's too easy to go overboard with the splatters
I agree, I think lose the green arrows, they don't match the lovely banner at all.
Good luck with the site!
When I look at the different areas, Im led to believe that you had an idea when you started out, but that you got sidetracked with other ideas as you worked on that, and the mishmash that resulted doesn't work for me.
For example ,the "recent articles" bit -- thats looks totally out of place, given the design.
I also dont care for the movies and music thing in the footer. Theres nothing intuitive to be had there. The images dont link to anything that offers anything up about you.. and, to me, they look like filler for space that you looked at and though, "hmmm what can I put there??" :P
Hey guys, thanks for the constructive criticism! I don't agree about the arrows or the mishmashing (that's exactly what I wanted), but I thank you for taking a look.

Great chairs, but bad experience.
We loved the chairs! They were easy to put together and they are a great deal. In addition, they look very nice. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience with Overstock. They forgot to ship our order and we needed the chairs by Thanksgiving. They didn't arrive on time.

On a lazy afternoon at the beach the children and I decided to draw a sandpiper – after seeing these fast and delightful birds all morning swooping down and racing the waves.

Good Friday Garden and Choosing a Tree
Both my grandfathers planted their gardens on Good Friday. We've adopted this tradition as well. And while it's a good practice to wait until Good Friday because all danger of frost has past, we've discovered another significance. We talk about Easter. We pour that fresh soil into a flower bed. And a little finger makes a little hole for a sunflower seed. It's then that

Pope Francis I
Jorge Mario Bergoglio

Oscar Justo, 60, begs for bills and coins from a perch next to St. Joseph Parish in Barrio de Flores, the Buenos Aires neighbourhood where Pope Francis was born.
Laptops, iPads and cellphones were key ingredients as students at St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta welcomed the election of Pope Francis March 13.
Argentinians and other local Latin American Catholics are happy they now have a strong connection to the Vatican through Pope Francis, the first Latin American pope in history.
Although attempts were made to simplify the ceremony, Pope Francis officially inaugurated his ministry as pope and bishop of Rome in a liturgy filled with biblical symbolism and signs of the universality of his mission.
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis formally began his ministry as pope by pledging to protect the Catholic Church, the dignity of each person and the beauty of creation, just as St. Joseph protected Mary and Jesus.
Canadian Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, speaking of newly elected Pope Francis, said he was "always struck by that man, who is a holy man, a man of prayer."
ROME – The Church has been given "a wondrous gift" in Pope Francis, says Archbishop Richard Smith.

I just want a break
I think everyone deserves time to vent. Its hard trying to be in 2 places at once, making sure the child at home still feels love and attention, yet wanting to spend every moment in the NICU with your little one.
I pray his surgery goes well today. Big Huggs

I agree with PP that maybe it's time for some mommy time. Sometimes being in the NICU can be sooo draining. It's hard your stressing out over your LO in the NICU, your stressing about spending time with your older kids, you feel like your not doing enough when really your doing ALOT! Treat yourself to a mani/ pedi or lunch or just a movie to yourself. Big hugs momma and I hope your LO does well during surgery.

Vent away! That's what's great about this group. WE UNDERSTAND . As PP's said, the NICU is so tough. You DESERVE a break. When my LO was in the NICU, one of her primary nurses gave me a "homework" assignment to go do something for myself after I talked to her about being so stressed. I came back the next day and she asked if I did anything and I said no. I think it took about a week, but I finally did and it was great for me. I allowed myself to have fun, take breaks, etc. Admittedly, it was difficult at first to relax but a less-stressed mom is a happier mom! Best of luck with your LO's surgeries!

As PP said we have all been there where your at now and sometimes momma just needs a break. And in all honesty until you have had a baby that spent any amount of time in the NICU you just don't understand! I had to avoid my BB's for a few months until LO was doing better because I couldn't take listening to the whining and crying the other momma's was doing and having no clue what your dealing with. Hang in there!

Calvin Michael 05/20/2010
I was on hospital bed rest for 21 days. Another week for c-section recovery. LO was in the NICU for 55 days. At one point about a week before LO was released, my DH made me take a day off. He went to the hospital extra long so I knew LO was ok. It was still hard, but I slept, ate and pampered myself. And the next day, I was like a new woman. I am so thankful for DH giving me "permission" to take break.
It is hard, but please give yourself permission to take care of yourself. If you need a break, take one. LO is in good hands in the NICU.
Wishing you well.

Slate's June Thomas points out that North Korea has made an impressive showing at the 2012 Olympics:
One of the countries that's ahead of the Brits is, amazingly, North Korea. The DPRK has already won gold three times (tied for the third-largest haul behind China and the United States) and has four total medals—three in weightlifting and one in judo—tied for 8th overall.
She then asks — and thank you Ms. Thomas for putting it so poignantly —
How on earth could athletes from a nation of starving slaves perform so well?
Which is a good question. After all, the Olympics require more than, say, the infamous Mass Games, where complete obeisance to the state

is enough to get a young gymnast through one performance a night for a couple months. But the Olympics? It would seem to require more than honor and patriotism to break world records. What is driving these athletes to succeed?
Readers familiar with the psychology of success in North Korea might have
already guessed the cause.
According to one of the gold-medal winners, the credit goes to North Korea's recently departed dear leader. When Om Yun-chol won in the 56-kilogram weightlifting category on Sunday, having lifted three times his body weight and equaled the world record in the clean and jerk, he told the Olympic News Service, "I believe the great Kim Jong-il looked over me."
Of course he did.
And with the Dear Leader watching over his Olympians from beyond the grave — we all know that death is no obstacle to perennial vigilance — one can only imagine the lengths athletes will go to in order to please the former dictator:
As Reuters recently reported, the North Korean Olympics gymnastics team was short-handed because two athletes were banned for falsifying their ages. And during the 2011 Women's World Cup, five North Korean soccer playersOne different: morning beneficial http://www.ourvaada.com/kyp/hydrochlorothiazide-dose-size.html and hair? across. 7 neurontin neuralgia diabetis many cruelty-free, mascara.

tested positive for steroid use, although Pyongyang authorities claimed "they were using traditional Chinese medicine of deer musk to treat players hit by a lightning strike."
Right. Because the odds of five athletes on the same team getting struck by lightening en route to the Olympics are remarkably high. And everyone knows the best cure for a lightening strike is pheromones from Beijing. Whatever you want to say about the DPRK mouthpiece, it sure is creative.
But maybe that's not the real issue here.
Thus far, the biggest obstacle the North Korean women's soccer team has faced in London has been an erroneous display of the South Korean flag prior to their opening match. Might this have been a super-secret motivational ploy perpetrated by the DPRK government to motivate its athletes? Probably not, but I'll be watching the flagpoles just in case.
My question is: Can you imagine having to return to the DPRK after competing in the world's greatest athletic event in one of
the most prosperous countries in the world? What a cruel privilege for these talented athletes.

Former Chelsea assistant first-team coach Ray Wilkins believes John Terry's international retirement will be a "massive loss" to England manager Roy Hodgson.
The 31-year-old called time on his Three Lions career, less than 24 hours before the Football Association hearing into alleged racial abuse towards QPR defender Anton Ferdinand - charges denied by Terry. Terry accused the FA of making his position "untenable".
"He's an outstanding player and in the dressing room he's an outstanding character," Wilkins said on Sky Sports News. "On the pitch he does what the manager requires and that's to lead from the front."
He added: "[Former England manager] Fabio Capello had a massive fall-out with the FA over John because he realised how important he was to our national team.
"I feel very sad for Roy Hodgson in that Roy made it pretty evident he wanted John to be there and be his centre-half. We've got to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil and this is a massive blow.
"It's a massive loss. You will see the loss it will be when John finally has to hang up his boots for Chelsea. To replace a character who has been in that dressing room for such a long period - and has performed at such a consistent level for that period - is very, very difficult indeed."
Wilkins added: "We have loads of options, loads of very good young footballers coming through, and also Rio Ferdinand doing a very good job at Manchester United.
"But do we have the character of John Terry within these people I'm talking about? My answer to that is probably, 'no, we don't', because he doesn't only care about his own performance - he cares about other people's performances as well.
"I don't think we've got the characters about now like John Terry."
