Countdown to exam results. Anyone else feeling anxious?(646 Posts)
Waiting for DS1's Gcses results on 22nd of August. He did really well last year but, all the talk of moving grade boundaries has got me worried. Fingers are very tightly crossed for maths as this is the subject he struggles with most.
my favorite education page is http://study.result.pk
well i know how you feel...all of those quotes are true, but i can see how they aren't too helpful to get your mind off of it for too long...!
Thanks Creamteas. sounds like its still a possibility for DD with 2A*, 4A and 3B for her proper GCSEs.
circular If all RG universities filtered out applications without A* they would go bankrupt! There would not be enough applications left to fill their places. In RL, the majority of students do not routinely have mostly A/A* grades. The vast majority of applicants will have a mixture of As, Bs, and Cs.
Some subjects (like medicine) might receive a majority of applications from students with large numbers of A*s, but with the exception of Oxbridge, pretty much no other institution could recruit just from applications with GCSEs at A/A*

Creamteas So the admin staff could be filtering out potential students with the right A levels, but too few A* at GCSE.
Circular They are all read in most institutions, but they are not necessarily read by admissions tutors. Often this is done by admin staff working with a institutional and/or dept protocol as to how to screen potentials against non-potentials.
Where I work, I only read a minority of applications, the ones that don't easily fit into the protocol. So I don't see any applications from school leavers with relevant A levels, but they would ask me to look at an application when the applicant was sitting all science qualifications but applying for a social science.
That's a massive jump Bunbaker, no wonder you are pleased!
I noticed that our local failing comp which was in special measures not so long ago, has beaten its local rival this year. They'll be very happy as the school has had a terrible reputation for years.
I haven't seen figures for the grammar my DS attends, they'll be out this week I think.
I am feeling pretty pleased with DD's school as their GCSE pass rate has rocketed from 62% last year to 80% this year. They have invested a lot of effort to improve the school in every way and it has given me more confidence in my choice of school.
Thanks Creamtees
So do all applications get looked at properly by admissions, or are any filtered out earlier (by computer or otherwise) for not having enough A*s?
No, mumslife he did Psychology, he did think about doing Politics but it was just as well he didn't because the Politics teacher left last Summer and they didn't replace him, so he couldn't have carried it through to A2.
if they have the c in english and maths or above at gcse level and they get the a level requirement including the a lvel requirement in english. Do you then look at the gcses
Some universities will, but many more prefer to use AS results (plus predictions) as the main way of distinguishing between applicants.
If they are interested in GCSE grades, the extent to which a B in Lang will be relevant will depend on which English degree she is applying for. They are all different, so will be looking for different things!

Mumslife Most universities have two levels of entry requirements. General for entry to any the university and course specific.
GCSEs are usually listed in the general requirements, so, for example where I work there is a general requirement of GCSE English and Maths Grade C. This is clearly not enough to get on any of our degrees, but all students need to have this (or equivalent).
Course specific requirements vary from course to course and can be either just A level grades (or other qualifications) or ask for specific subjects.
So for example to study English at my uni you need ABB including A level English. But if you met these requirement but had a D in GCSE Maths you would still not be allowed in.
Because A levels are the most important aspect, staff usually focus on this for open days. Not all the staff at open day events will be admissions staff, so they may not always know the details on the general regulations. But it will be on the website if you look for it.
DS1 did his GCSEs 2 years ago, he got 2A*s, 7As and 2Bs. He did Alevels this Summer and got AAB. He got the A's in English and History. He was going to go to Loughborough to History and Politics but has decided to have a year out.
History and English A levels are a lot of work. DS1 loves both subjects, he got 100% in History GCSE, and a very high A in both Eng lit and Lang, but at times he found it hard going.
DS2 did his GCSEs this Summer, he got 8As and 2Bs.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
DS1 was accepted to Nottingham to History, mumslife. When we went to open days they said they looked predicted A2s and personal statements. It was never mentioned about the 4As at GCSE, perhaps it might be useful if that was made clear to applicants.
DS2 wants to go there to do Nursing, I think the entry process is different for that though.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Circular Universities will have different policies, and there is also subject variation, and I obviously can't speak for all. But having worked in admissions in two different universities (both with high entry grades, one RG, one not) and attended lots of admissions related events, I would say that the AS and predictions are more important than almost everything else (one exception being negative school references).
The problem with forums is that any reasons given for rejection are pretty much always speculation as universities don't give reasons. So people make up their own minds why.
But getting into a good university is not that difficult (expect for a few specific courses) and is getting easier. Most universities are looking to expand and the numbers of school leavers is in a dip for a couple of years.
At the end of the day, if an applicant doesn't get the offers they want in a Year 13 application, if they get good A2s, they will get places (ahead of the rest) the following year.
Creamteas As a parent that worries about likelihood of DD getting into an RG Uni without loads of A*s and B's in English, I have spoken to some Uni admissions and been reassured that the AS and A2 predictions are what will matter.
However, I can't help worrying (albeit from hearsay) that there is a certain aspect of 'Computer Says No', before the application even reaches the admissions staff.
As an admission tutor, I will say a lot of the discussion on TSR
and MN is crap. I have seen what are ported to be my decisions, and they quite often don't match the way I treat applications (given the reported 'facts').
So contact the universities if you are unsure, don't rely on hearsay.
MsAverage Yes I'm sorry it is not clear. It is not an official requirement to have a certain number of A*s at GCSE but it is always discussed on sites like The Student Room how many A* s you need to be in with a chance and it is 'accepted wisdom' that it is a wasted application if you don't have them. Discussions like this one, where open day information is shared
Because it is not an official requirement I could imagine that exceptions can apply. I accept that I lack evidence, just years of anecdotal stories online and from LSE students. My advice to get a remark to get as many A*s as possible though still stands for obvious reasons.

Blackberry CEO Thorsten Heins blew a huge raspberry at the future of tablets, again.
Many would have expected Heins to be laying low with his opinions considering his strategy of pinning every hope on a much delayed Blackberry 10 appears to be floundering.
Heins wanted to say a few things about the future of tablets at the Milken Institute Conference in Los Angeles.
He claimed that in five years there will not be a reason to have a tablet. While you might want a big screen in your workspace, it will not be a tablet. Tablets themselves are not a good business model, he said.
Earlier this year Heins made a similar claim, while also boasting Blackberry will undoubtedly be at the top of its market in the near future.
Current views are that the PC will be replaced by mobile phones and tablets. A recent forecast from Gartner expects the tablet market to more than double by 2017. That's a growth from 116.1 million units shipped last year, to 197.2 million this year, and 468 million units projected to ship in 2017.
But Heins is talking about the business market, which he thinks will still be dominated by smartphones. While tablets are increasingly used in the workplace, the platform is not overtaking PCs and large display monitors.
Roger Kay, principal analyst with Endpoint Technologies Associates, told Red Orbit that tablets will still be around in five years.
However, he was expecting to see a proliferation of form factors to emerge in more finely targeted markets. That means an increase in specialisation will increase, with tablets possibly becoming a larger category with a number of sub-categories like hybrids and others, at varying cost..

Project Description
After ten years of drawing Kids of Lower Utopia Volume 6 No. 2 and No. 3, and after finishing its last page – I couldn't stop drawing. I couldn't stop drawing but I had no narrative focus – no connecting story, just flashes of visions that I thought would eventually tell me where to go. This is the origin of all of the drawings in this series Volume 8 No1 Titled: I Am That – The Animal Ethics of Lower Utopia.
Through the eyes of an animal the sacred and realized awareness of Reality watches and waits. An animal is the perfect answer to its niche – its form is the very shape of its exact needs as sculpted by a million years of evolution. It is beauty incarnate because our criteria for beauty was sculpted by the same principles that formed that evolution. An animal looks out from the vast ineffable awareness of nature – which is our very nature as well. Animals live in a state of oneness with that ineffable nature – to me animals are holy.
It is the incessance of thought which blocks the experience of that awareness that animals live from. The absence of thought is peaceful, blissful. Blissfulness is not exciting, it is not interesting, it is not attached to desires or their fears, it is not good or bad, it knows no past and projects no future, it is a subtle ever present self-effulgent completeness within each of us that is synonymous in experience with beauty. And it is this realization that my work point towards in form and metaphor. I am making small crude reminders of that place within where the heart open outward towards everything.

What DID Obama Say?
More than 2,000 Care2 members voted in the poll "What Should Obama Tell the UN", sponsored by our friends at the Better World Campaign. We gave you five options: Security, Climate Change, Millennium Development Goals, Ratifying Treaties and Multilateralism.
The results were pretty dramatic: 59 percent of Care2 members thought Climate Change was the message President Obama should bring to the world when he addressed the UN General Assembly today. Next up was the Millennium Development Goals with 16 percent, Multilateralism with 12 percent, Security with 7 percent and Ratifying Treaties with 4 percent.
So Care2 members will be pleased to know that climate change was a major theme in the president's speech:
The danger posed by climate change cannot be denied. Our responsibility to meet it must not be deferred. If we continue down our current course, every member of this Assembly will see irreversible changes within their borders. Our efforts to end conflicts will be eclipsed by wars over refugees and resources. Development will be devastated by drought and famine. Land that human beings have lived on for millennia will disappear. Future generations will look back and wonder why we refused to act; why we failed to pass on — why we failed to pass on an environment that was worthy of our inheritance.
And that is why the days when America dragged its feet on this issue are over. We will move forward with investments to transform our energy economy, while providing incentives to make clean energy the profitable kind of energy. We will press ahead with deep cuts in emissions to reach the goals that we set for 2020, and eventually 2050. We will continue to promote renewable energy and efficiency, and share new technologies with countries around the world. And we will seize every opportunity for progress to address this threat in a cooperative effort with the entire world.
And those wealthy nations that did so much damage to the environment in the 20th century must accept our obligation to lead. But responsibility does not end there. While we must acknowledge the need for differentiated responses, any effort to curb carbon emissions must include the fast-growing carbon emitters who can do more to reduce their air pollution without inhibiting growth. And any effort that fails to help the poorest nations both adapt to the problems that climate change have already wrought and help them travel a path of clean development simply will not work.
It's hard to change something as fundamental as how we use energy. I know that. It's even harder to do so in the midst of a global recession. Certainly, it will be tempting to sit back and wait for others to move first. But we cannot make this journey unless we all move forward together. As we head into Copenhagen, let us resolve to focus on what each of us can do for the sake of our common future.
If you're moved by President Obama's speech, join me in demanding that your senators support strong climate and energy legislation now — so we can bring something concrete to Copenhagen.
If you're one of the Care2 members who voted for Security, the Millennium Development Goals, Ratifying Treaties or Multilateralism — don't be too upset; the president mentioned all of them in his speech.

Equine Hospital - Anesthesia and Pain Medicine - Residency Program
The American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA) accredits Cornell's residency program in Veterinary Anesthesiology. This 3-year program generally enrolls new candidates each July and provides specialty training in veterinary anesthesiology and perioperative pain management as clinical disciplines. Successful completion of the program qualifies candidates to take the ACVAA board-certification examination, and prepares candidates for academic or specialty practice.
Potential Applicants
Applications are managed through the Veterinary Internship and Residency Matching Program (VIRMP) unless otherwise specified. Applicants must have a D.V.M. (or equivalent veterinary degree) and has completed a rotating internship or equivalent (i.e. one year of general veterinary medicine practice). Please contact the Program Director, Dr. Martin-Flores (email@example.com) for any questions regarding the equivalency of your experience or program questions.
Applicants must be proficient in English (both written & spoken). Foreign applicants are eligible and encouraged to apply. For successful international candidates, the College provides assistance with obtaining a visa.
The application includes a Curriculum Vitae, letter of intent, transcript(s), and three letters of recommendation. An interview is preferred although not required. Phone or video conference interviews can be arranged. Applicants may visit the facilities to learn more about the program and to meet the faculty and staff. Visitation dates are limited and must be scheduled in advance through Rosemary Adessa.
Description of the veterinary anesthesia residency program at Cornell University
he Anesthesiology Residency at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, is an established three-year program of advanced training in veterinary anesthesiology and preoperative pain management as clinical disciplines. The Anesthesiology service is composed of 4 board certified anesthesiologists, 4 anesthesiology residents and technicians trained in the discipline. Residents work closely with the respective service chiefs in providing the highest quality of patient care to both large (approximately 1300 patients annually) and small animal patients (approximately 2000 patients annually). Satisfactory progression will result in increased clinical responsibility including emergency duty that will be shared with other residents. The Anesthesiology faculty provides emergency backup support. The program includes large animal, small animal and exotic/zoo animal anesthesiology and preoperative care. The program objectives are to provide the resident with advanced training in all aspects of veterinary anesthesia and analgesia, fulfill the residency requirements of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia and the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, provide experience in clinical and laboratory teaching, provide training allowing a high level of specialized service to the public and profession, and provide experience in research, including the completion of at least one manuscript describing research results. The program is an approved training center for the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia.
Approximately 25% of the time is allocated for development activities (off-clinics), which may include research activities, rotations through other services, or attendance at conferences, for example. Residents are expected to attend rounds, seminars and conferences that pertain to their area of interest. The Anesthesiology service holds weekly section rounds, which include journal club, and offers weekly lectures on various topics relevant to our discipline. Participation in other educational programs will be dictated by the resident's needs and goals. Participation of residents in scholarly activities such as continuing education is encouraged, but participation of residents in such activities is subject to approval and dependent upon the availability of funding. While meeting specialty board requirements is the responsibility of the individual resident, the section supports individual efforts through didactic teaching, close interaction during clinical responsibilities and mentoring of research activities.
Throughout the residency, but particularly during the second year and third year, residents have the opportunity to participate in other services of the Cornell University Hospital for Animals. These elective rotations are designed to aid in preparing for board certification. The duration and amount of support for these rotations are determined on an individual basis. Residents also participate in clinical instruction of veterinary medicine students. Excellent client and peer communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a clinical team are essential.
Each resident will complete at least one research project in anesthesia and/or analgesia. Prior to completing the residency program each resident will submit at least one first-authored manuscript for publication in a refereed journal. This manuscript may describe the results of either a clinical or basic science research investigation. The manuscript will be prepared to meet requirements for board eligibility. The Anesthesiology section encourages its residents to present the results of the investigation at a national or international meeting. There are opportunities for financial support for this purpose.
Continuation in the program is based on an acceptable level of performance. A "Certificate of Residency" will be issued following successful completion of all requirements of the program. The opportunity exists for graduate studies following completion of the residency program, and is dependent upon acceptance by the Graduate School of Cornell University and the availability of funding for stipend and research.
Applicants must hold a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine or its equivalent, and have at least one year in general practice or a rotating internship. We encourage candidates for the residency to visit our section or schedule a phone interview with the faculty. Application is usually through the annual VIRMP.
Applicants from both foreign and American colleges of veterinary medicine are welcome to apply. Preference is generally given to applicants from American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accredited colleges. Cornell University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer/educator.

Forums → WEPR → Veggitarianism, animal crulty.
- 5 Replies
I noticed the last one got locked... anyway i am also a vegitarian, and for good reasoning too, all you saying there is no point being veggie are wrong, there IS a point, on average vegitarians and vegans live on average 6-10yrs longer and have a much less chance of getting some cancers. and i also am againtss animal crultey, let me explain one thing, The PIGS, when sent to slaughter there necks are slit to "kill" them, although Meny are still ALIVE when there droped into scalding water and boiled alive!, and what about the chickens who have the same treatment, alive whilst boiling to loosen there feathers, and the short lives they had before that, and the Ducks out of water, Aquatic animals that never see water in there short lives, just to drink. Now off the subject of the farming industry, what about the Fur trade?, Seals being beaten alive for there fur, dogs skinned alive, and much more. What about Animal Testing, rats Injected with human diseases, cats heads cut open and equiptment straped to there brains, rabbits having toxics dropped into there eyes, Monkeys, chimps and apes straped up and forced to breathe in gases to see if there alright for humans, acids, shampoos, arasols, sprays, ect sprayed onto animal skins, droped into there eyes, injected into there blood, and they feel pain, there want to live, just like us! SO yes there is much point being vegitarian or vegan and fighting to stop animal creulty.
im gettin a bit of a negative vibe here
Oh, they live longer do they? Whether that fact is true or not, they are in no way in as good of shape as someone who just eats vegetables. As a Christian, I believe God put all of those animals (deer, cow, chicken, etc) to be eaten by man.
Now, obviously animals are abused every day, but if I do not order that Big Mac meal, someone else is just going to order it. Unless you are part of some sort of worldwide thing, you are not going to make a difference.
This thread already exists, go bring your domestic terrorism to the Animal Slaughter thread.
Good, i'm just so angry hearing, "its just meat", "they dont feel pain", "theres no point being veggi", ect,ect
Sorry, but there are already existing threads about this issue.

Ed Lee, mayor of San Francisco, is a baller.
That was easily the most surprising thing that came out of the recent Warriors-to-San Francisco announcement: Multiple quotes from witnesses lauding Lee's skills as a basketball player. The best one came from Rose Pak, who told my colleague Heather Knight, "Even though he's short and round, he's a natural athlete. If he had a few more inches, he wouldn't be a politician. He'd be a basketball player. You would have called it Lee-sanity."
We need to investigate further. Mayor Ed Lee, I'm challenging you to a game of H-O-R-S-E. Anywhere, anytime you want. We will have a short interview about basketball and then play. All of this will be captured on video.
I'm not going to joke about the man's size. I've played with guys in the 5-foot-5 range who are very good basketball players. But the way Ed Lee carries himself, all huggable and sorta awkward in his "Barney Miller"-era suits, makes it hard to imagine a killer cross-over dribble or behind-the-back pass. It also seems strange that a personal detail this huge is coming out more than a year into his administration. It would be like learning that Ed Lee was once a member of Full Force.
The hoop skillz endorsements from Lee insiders beg questions: Was Ed Lee a pass-first point guard like Maurice Cheeks or an aggressive scorer in the Allen Iverson mode? Did he ever wear a headband and/or goggles? What was his nickname? (I'm going with World B. Lee, or Boom Lizzle.) Does Ed Lee trash talk? Does he own a pair of shorts?
We plan to find out. And just to make this more of an offer he can't refuse, here's what I pledge to Ed Lee if he agrees:
* We will only talk about basketball. Barring a decision the night before to register as a Republican, or an executive order to paint the Golden Gate Bridge beige, every interview question will be basketball-related.
* I'll give up my slightly used copy of "Hoosiers": Because when Ed Lee runs the old picket fence, he doesn't get caught watching the paint dry.
* He can change the name … of the game to whatever he'd like. Want to play "E-D-L-E-E"? Or "V-I-S-I-T-B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L-S-F." Whatever, Boom Lizzle. Just show up and play.
* He will also receive … an autographed basketball, featuring signatures from every member of my Saturday morning pickup game at Grove Recreation Center in Berkeley.
From what I can see, this is a no-lose proposition for the mayor. I'm definitely not a ringer. (Right now there are people I've played basketball with for 10 years who are putting large sums of money on Ed Lee.) And even if he does lose, if the mayor can hoist a halfway decent set shot, he's going to come out looking like a fantastic sport.
I'm flexible with the format — if the mayor wants to add another local dignitary as a third player, no problem. (Does Jean Quan have a good 3-pointer? Rose Pak? Danny Glover? Clifford Ray? Warning: If Gavin Newsom shows up I'm arriving in a Ron Artest state of mind.) If he wants to use his lucky ball that he bought during the LBJ administration, no problem. If he wants to take a couple of weeks to get personal training by Chris Mullin, no problem.
Just do it, Ed Lee. A hoop legend will be reborn.

The Malik Report
USA Today's Kevin Allen to receive Lester Patrick Trophy at U.S. HHOF inductions in Detroit
by George Malik on 10/08/13 at 10:54 AM ET
Comments (1)
The MotorCity Casino will host the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame inductions on December 2nd, with former Compuware chairman and Compuware hockey/Plymouth Whalers founder Peter Karmanos, Warren's Doug Weight, Michigan State University legend Ron Mason, Cup champ Bill Guerin and US women's Olympic team star Cindy Curley being inducted at that time.
USA Hockey's press release regarding the event also indicated that the Lester Patrick Trophy, which honors "outstanding service to hockey in the United States," would be awarded at the US HHOF inductions, and the Professional Hockey Writers' Association revealed that its Ann Arbor-based president would receive the award, adding more "Michigan flavor" to the event:
Update: the NHL posted a press release regarding Allen:
NEW YORK (October 8, 2013) – One of the most respected and prolific chroniclers of the game for nearly four decades, USA Today's national hockey writer Kevin Allen has been named the recipient of the 2013 Lester Patrick Trophy for outstanding service to hockey in the United States.
The award, one of the most prestigious in hockey, was presented to the National Hockey League by the New York Rangers in 1966. It honors the memory of Lester Patrick, who spent 50 years in hockey as a player, coach and general manager and was a pioneer in the sport's development.
Allen will be honored during the annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame induction celebration in Detroit on Dec. 2.
Allen has been USA Today Sports' national hockey writer since 1986. The Wayne, Mich., native has penned stories on about 600 NHL playoff games, 26 Stanley Cup Finals, seven Olympic Games, plus Canada Cups, World Cups and World Championships during his career.
He also has written 16 hockey books -- including Why is the Stanley Cup in Mario Lemieux's Pool and Star-Spangled Hockey, which chronicles the history of hockey in the United States. His latest book, written with former NHL player Darren McCarty, will be distributed this fall.
Allen's first NHL story was published in the late 1970s when he was still a student at Eastern Michigan University. After taking a job with the Port Huron (Mich.) Times Herald, he wrote stories about the Detroit Red Wings from 1982-83 to 1985-86.
Universally respected by hockey executives, coaches and players, he also is widely admired by his peers. He was elected president of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association in 2003 and has served in that capacity for the last 10 years.
Tickets to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Dinner & Ceremony will be available online beginning Oct. 15 or by calling Kevin Couture at 719.538.1184.

Congratulations to Kevin Allen.
He is a credit to sports jounalism.
When he write something, it is always inciteful.
This honor is well deserved.

I'm a newbie at this fixing kid's hair stuff. I have boys. I spit on my hand, rub it on their heads and they are good. Not really.
Brothers, keep telling her how cute she is….
I actually did it. I made pigtails. I can fix girl hair!
After she was born I got asked all the time, "So what is it like to finally have a girl?" Honestly, it didn't feel any different. She was a baby…but in pink. She is fearless, aggressive, confident, loud, active and all things like her brothers. However, she is really floppy. Her brothers have never been floppy. Aside from her floppiness, she hasn't seemed so starkly different. Now she is getting older. Her differences are becoming more pronounced. She squeals. She LOVES babies. Her floppiness sometimes seems dainty. She has an opinion about clothes. And now….NOW….she has girl hair! She can wear pigtails. There is definitely someone else on my team in this house.
Photo tip: Instead of taking these pictures in the bathroom, where it was darker, I intentionally positioned us in front of the large front window. I got all my camera settings where I wanted and very sweetly 🙂 gave Chris guidance on where to stand.

text: An indoor percussion ensemble or indoor drumline consists of the marching percussion (or battery) and front ensemble (pit or frontline) sections of a marching band or drum corps. The only exceptions are in concert divisions (e.g. Percussion Scholastic Concert Open) where the marching line is absent and the ensemble consists entirely of a pit. Indoor percussion marries elements of music performance, marching, and theater; thus, the activity is often referred to as percussion theater. Although most indoor percussion ensembles are affiliated with high schools, there are also many independent groups that draw participants from a large area. Independent groups typically start rehearsing in October, while high school groups typically start after their fall marching band season ends. Because of this, the activity is often called winter percussion or winterline.

Hi, I'll be experimenting with baking with almond and buckwheat flours this holiday (mostly cookies). I'm using gluten-free recipes and many of them call for agave syrup as the sweetener. I'd rather use something real, like honey, maple syrup, unprocessed cane sugar, or florida crystals. But I am unsure of the conversions because agave is so sweet. Can you provide anyway to do conversaion from agave to other sweeteners?

Hi Krista, There is a post all about converting recipes on our blog. Here's the link: http://www.cookusinterruptus.com/blog/?p=62. I would just use maple syrup or honey instead of agave (in equal amounts) and let the dish be slightly less sweet.

Retire Chief Wahoo to end Cleveland's Curse.
Whatever one thinks of Chief Wahoo, the face of the Cleveland Indians, one must find remarkable how little talk there is about a Curse of Chief Wahoo here in Cleveland, the city suffering the longest and arguably most painful championship drought in major American professional sports. . . . [I]f the Boston Red Sox had to endure an 86 year curse for trading Babe Ruth, and if the Chicago Cubs have been cursed for the last 63 years simply because they wouldnt let a Greek bring his Billy Goat to a ballgame, why dont more believe that the Indians, if not all Cleveland franchises, have been cursed for what many view as a hateful affront to the entirety of Native American culture and a callous disrespect for the beginnings of American history The answer to this question lies in understanding that for a great many, if not most, Indians fans, Chief Wahoo represents something entirely different. It is long past time for us to come to terms with the Chief. This will not happen until the activists and others who are so convinced of Wahoos evil can understand the good that he represents to so many others. . . . [O]ne must . . .understand that for so many Tribe fans, Wahoo represents the very best of Take me out to the Ballgame. [As we approached the old Municipal Stadium we saw] the 35-foot tall neon-lit Chief Wahoo of glass and steel, perched atop the southeast corner of the Stadium roof, eyes gleaming, smile beaming, bat cocked, leg raised, ready to knock the next pitch all the way back down to Youngstown. And we didnt think of Native Americans, or any kind of person at all. All of the magic of the trip to the ballpark coalesced in that smiling slugging alien angel of joy as we entered the Stadium gates. And then there was the magic of the ballgame itself, with Wahoo smiling in approval all the while -- from the stadium roof, our heroes uniforms, and seemingly everywhere else. . . . [But, n]ative voices have told us loudly and clearly that Wahoo offends; and given his origins and singular status among racial caricatures in America, it is not at all hard to see how this might be true. If there is at least one Native in this country for whom Wahoo reasonably reinforces a belief that her or his race is invisible or subhuman -- thus making it even a little bit harder to engage in lifes everyday struggle -- isnt that enough to bring a curse on our sports teams It sure seems worse than trading Babe Ruth or banning goats from a ballpark. So why would we even want to take this chance Havent we all had enough of the exquisitely painful losing There are a lot of Natives buried in these parts. If its not the Curse of Chief Wahoo, what else could it be What else would we want it to be At least a Curse of Chief Wahoo makes sense. At least its a curse that we might do something to end. . . . So lets not hesitate in giving Wahoo a dignified burial. In doing so, we should recognize that while Wahoo might have been born out of something bad, he turned into something very good for many of us. We should acknowledge the complexity of the lives of both persons and personifications. And we should acknowledge progress. We need not abandon the name Indians, and we have no shortage of persons indigenous to Northeast Ohio who might serve as worthy models for a new logo; one that truly honors Native Americans. . . . [Please sign this] online petition to help end the Curse of Chief Wahoo and help bring a championship to Cleveland. Read the entire piece (with hyperlinked references) on why we should end the curse here: http://www.clevelandfrowns.com/2008/06/curse-of-chief-wahoo.html

because the Chief Wahoo Logo attracts bad Karma like a lighting rod. Hence the Cleveland Baseball team will not advance in the play off to win a World Series as long as Chief Wahoo is the official logo.
You see at the beginning of every baseball season,
all fans and players all across the nation hope and pray that their team has a winning tyear.
Towards the end of the regular season some teams hopes and prayers are answered and they advance to the play offs.
If the Cleveland baseball team is lucky and makes the play offs,
most fans and players from other teams from all across the nation who did not make the play offs wish the Cleveland team would lose. Some people living on reservations, who don't know where Cleveland is or have never been to a baseball game in their lives also hope Cleveland will lose. Karma responds and Cleveland loses. This collective National Negative Karma is why Cleveland can't advance in any play offs - This is the 'Curse of Chief Wahoo'.

Then by using Opalg's argument with CaptainBlank's commentary we see there are n-1 real roots for f'(x) and so these are its only roots for deg f'(x) = n-1. But the situation changes if there is not exactly n real roots. But that (this problem) is not really so bad. Say that f(x) = (x-a)^n*(x-b)^m where 'a' is a root of multiplicity n and 'b' of multiplicity m. Then . Thus, 'a' is a zero (of f'(x)) of multiplicity n-1 and 'b' is a zero of multiplicity 'b' is a zero of multiplicity m-1. Now using Opalg's argument there is another zero between 'a' and 'b'. So far we have (n-1)+(m-1)+1 = n+m-2 zeros (counting multiplicity) but since the number of complex zeros must remain even it means the last zero cannot be complex. Thus, there are n+m-1 zeros altogether (counting multiplicity). Thus, f'(x) has only real zeros. Now in general suppose we have then are zeros of multiplicity . Using Opalg's hint we also have zeros between and so there are zeros. Thus in total with multiplicity we have since the number of complex solutions must be even it means the last remaining zero must be real. Thus has only real zeros.
Consider for example this polynomial has real roots only . We want to show has only real roots, we know that there is a root between -1 and 1 but since degree is 6 it can still be that the other roots are complex conjugates in that case f'(x) will have real coefficients but not real roots. So we need to use what I mentioned above.
Now consider it has 3 real roots as much as its degree so its derivative has zeros between 1 and 2 , 2 and 3 hence it is two real solutions equal to its degree and we can stop right there. But this is just a special case because this polynomial has a many roots as its degree. But in the above case this does not work. Thus we need to consider this possibility in the proof.
I agree that multiplicity must be taken into account, for the reasons that ThePerfectHacker gives. However, if a polynomial has a root of multiplicity n, its derivative will have that same root with multiplicity n1: . So multiplicity ought not to create any problems.

You'll find hundreds of advertising methods in existence, but couple of are already quite as productive or as very regarded in recent years as Gmail advertising. What can make this seemingly easy PPC type of advertising any various from AdWords or banner posting? It is all in the email.
Picture the emails you send every evening. You produce in your family, your coworkers and your physician. Individual info and inner opinions are shared often, which includes your desires, fears, and plans.
Which is the sort of information a marketer would kill for and with Gmail's integrated advertising, it really is all proper there for anyone that will write a highly optimized ad. To aid make the most of what Gmail's advertising tools need to present, right here are 7 particular tips:
1. Adapting Your AdWords Campaign – To begin with, you really should produce an AdWords campaign that only appears for your articles network and Gmail in distinct. So, first get rid of yourself through the Seek Network after which make exclusions which will assure you only appear for the mail client.
Go to Exclude within the Networks menu and mark every little thing off that Google has on their checklist. You may exclude video hosting pages, error pages along with other articles network alternatives that help you.
2. Assumed Stringing – Begin considering views in lieu of keywords and phrases. Search and information can enable you to out with search phrases, but for Gmail, keywords are much more or less useless. You need to imagine with regards to what men and women are "thinking" of.
Individuals won't sort keywords into their emails, they'll type opinions. If a person is getting dog complications, they would say one thing like "the puppy bit someone" not "how to cease puppy aggression". In Gmail you need to believe of views and key phrases they'd use in normal language.
3. The Forms of Considered Strings – You can find many varieties of considered strings that may reflect what your target consumers could be thinking of. The first is hidden desires, or items they may not even recognise they want or are only just speaking about with good friends, not actively looking for.
Picture an individual telling a close friend they "went to determine the dog trainer". That's a certain action that hides their needs.
Future are pain and frustration connected opinions – such being a divorce or even the puppy biting an individual – as well as the last is widespread market vernacular or key phrases that may well relate for a niche and product or service.

BOSTON (AP) — Lawmakers are reviewing Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal to rein in health care costs for retired public employees by raising the retirement age and service requirements and reducing what the state pays for many workers' premiums.
Supporters and critics crowded the Statehouse Thursday as the Legislature's Public Service committee heard testimony on a bill the administration projects would save up to $20 billion over the next 30 years.
The bill would increase from 10 years to 20 years the minimum service requirement before an employee can be eligible for retiree health care benefits. The measure would also raise the eligibility age for retiree health benefits from 55 to 60 and would reduce the state's contribution to health care premiums for many workers.
The measure would not affect workers who are already retired.
Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor said that changes are essential to keep benefits sustainable for future state and municipal workers. Massachusetts has among the nation's highest retiree health care costs, he said.
Shor pointed to a recent report by the business-backed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation that estimated the combined unfunded liability for retiree health benefits for workers at the state and local level at about $46 billion.
That's a result of the growth in health care costs, an aging workforce and increases in life expectancy, Shor said.
"There is an urgent need to take action on this issue now," Shor said. "Each year that we continue funding retiree health care benefits at the current level, our unfunded liability increases."
If changes aren't made, he said, government will have to cut back on other services to meet the demands of retiree health care. He said the amount of money it would take to adequately cover current liabilities would eat up nearly all the local aid cities and towns receive each year, leaving almost nothing for other needs.
Susan Tousignant, president of the Service Employees International Union Local 509, said the proposal goes too far. The union represents 17,000 human service and mental health workers in Massachusetts including 7,500 public employees.
Tousignant said the bill would have a disproportionate effect on lower wage workers and could harm workers who get into public service later in life by making it harder for them to obtain retirement benefits.
"The bill fails to offer any real cost-saving measures other than a spike in out-of-pocket expenses for seniors," she said. "The responsibility falls on future retirees and them alone."
She also said the changes would penalize workers who must take a leave of absence for the birth of a child or death of a loved one.
The bill doesn't go far enough, according to Michael Widmer, president of the taxpayers foundation.
Widmer pointed to an exemption for teachers that would increase their retirement age by only two years, making them eligible for full benefits as early as age 57.
But he said the biggest problem with the measure is that it would prohibit cities and towns from changing their level of premium contributions after an employee's retirement, which he called "a major step backward."

Through studies of Charles Ginnever's sculpture Rashomon, this project explores the concept of animate space.
Rashomon, an open geometric form devoid of right angles or parallel members, presents an intriguing scenario where only the rarest of witnesses could recognize it as the same work from one position to the next.
In connection to this, Sergie Eisentstien commented on the animated body's 'plasmaticness'; this is its ability and perhaps willingness to morph. Rashomon affirms philosopher David Morris' concept of our perception of space as rooted in movement. Movement around the sculpture reveals space as plastic and a subjective experience filtered through our perception. Rashomon`s form captures the plasmaticness of animated space, which Eisentstein saw as the essence of animation.
The approach to the building involved an intimate relationship between artist and environment through movement. The building frames a fluid space constantly in flux based on the position of the viewer. The building acts as an apparatus of viewing consisting of a continuum of views.

We have always been fascinated by light. It has been seen as a symbol of goodness and knowledge.
This experiment is envisaged in a 1950's, 4 bed roomed, former city council house in Leeds, UK to serve as a place to sleep, work and read.
Two roof lights and a window are fitted with converging lenses on blinds that project the changing textures of the sky unto the muted surfaces of the room.
The vividness of the projection depends on the strength of the light at a certain time of day.
As the sun traces a path across the sky, the different apertures project an image into the room in stark contrast with its flat planes.
This proposal is an attempt to pull the user into the depths of the sky.
This is my dream.

Editor's Note: This week on CPO Rising, we're publishing some "best of" 2016 articles as we reflect on the year and prepare for the new year ahead. We also invite you to download our latest AP research report, ePayables: The 2016-2017 Tech and Innovation Outlook Report, available here (registration required).
The business world is changing. New technologies and dynamic challenges have forced enterprise leaders to develop new solutions and apply enhanced skillsets to critical new issues. As a result, it is incumbent on every internal department to consider if they possess the right mix of skills to succeed in this fresh paradigm.
For traditional back-office functions like accounts payable ("AP"), this transformative shift can result in significant concerns about future viability and overall effectiveness. Many AP teams have remained content, since the early 2000s, to emphasize tactical excellence and drive value through mere process efficiencies. That particular pathway is fast disappearing in the modern marketplace and, in fact, 76% of enterprises recently surveyed stated that they expect the skills required for AP to change within the next two-to-three years.
Ardent Partners has developed the AP Competency Matrix, a collection of skills that the AP function will need to remain successful in the decade ahead, as well as increase its true strategic value to the enterprise through deeper involvement in cash management strategies and becoming a "hub" of financial and operational intelligence. These skills include "hard" technical skills alongside "soft" interpersonal skills—both categories of which will be vital for the decade ahead. The hard skills, which can be gained through technical training, will be important to allowing AP to derive intelligence from its financial and operational data, while soft skills will ensure the AP team can communicate and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders.
Although AP teams will not require all of these skills to succeed in the shifting business environment, it is incumbent on accounts payable leaders to determine the function's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how closely their skillset aligns to greater enterprise objectives. AP leaders must then develop a plan to improve the team's command of skills deemed vital to higher-level goals.
This skills-development plan can include a variety of pathways, such as in-person seminars held at conferences or courses at local universities, as well as on-demand digital training offered through professional organizations. AP teams that lack technical skills would do well to consider on-demand recorded training as a cost-effective option, or even continuing education courses—which are often significantly less expensive than pursuing a formal degree. The same can be said for soft interpersonal skills, which can also be acquired through on-site seminars and training courses that are available for online purchase. Not every AP team member will require training in all skills, and AP leaders should consider the strengths and weaknesses of their staff as well as what skills the department needs for the future.
The modern business environment is a confluence of factors that make it ill-advised for AP teams to emphasize tactical excellence and remain relevant to the wider enterprise. Examining these competencies and using a framework to determine department strengths and weaknesses can offer AP leaders the chance to build a long-term plan to ensure that their department can remain successful in the future. It is only through working to ensure that the AP team possesses all the skills required for the decade ahead that the function will be valuable both now and in the future.

Just 'google' N.H. Free State Project & readto your heart's content
- Published in Letters
To The Daily Sun,
During some light reading this morning, I came across an article about the "N.H. Free State Project" and I remembered that approximately two months ago a gentleman had written a letter to the paper asking about that very topic.
This letter is intended to inform anyone interested in the topic.
Jason Sorens, a Yale graduate and Dartmouth professor of political science, had an idea back in 2001. He founded the Free State Project. Their goal was and is to recruit twenty thousand liberty-minded, activist-oriented individuals to move to a small state, with the intent of effecting significant political change at the local level. An agreement among participants to move to N.H. for "Liberty in our Lifetime" was created after N.H. was chosen as the first target. Quoting from the FSP website, " The Free State Project, a mass migration movement to concentrate 20,000 liberty activists in N.H. is advancing to the finish line with more than 15,000 participants now signed up, with thousands moving ahead of schedule."
After a slow start in 2003, the group now has 15,206 signers as of January 8, 2014 and the organization anticipates it will "Trigger the Move" in 2015, three years ahead of schedule.
To become a participant of the Free State Project, a person is asked to agree to the follow Statement of Intent: I hereby state my solemn intent to move to the State of N.H. within five years after 20,000 participants have signed up. Once there, I will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of civil government is the protection of individuals' life, liberty, and property.
"People aligned with the FSP have been elected to two-year terms in the 400 member N.H. House of Reps since 2006. Approximately a dozen Free Staters were elected in the 2012 election". It is also the intent of the organization for members to get elected or appointed to local boards and committees.
The FSP logo and mascot is the porcupine. "Porcupines are certainly cute and non aggressive but you don't want to step on them" was found on their website which is freestateproject.org. After further reading I found an interesting interview of Jason Sorens at www.theatlasphere.com
If you find this as interesting as I do just google N.H. Free State Project and you can read until your heart is content.

Some resort owners say they fully expect to see skiers in shorts and bikini tops on many of their slopes, with temperatures expected to top in the upper 50's for the next several days, including the July 4th holiday.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 02, 2011
Bikini tops and snows skis... at the same location? That is exactly what many travelers may be witnessing across the Midwest and Western US this 4th of July holiday, with late winter snowstorms covering Western mountain ranges from the Rockies to the Sierra Nevadas.
It's been deemed a "trifecta day" by many vacationers, looking forward to being able to ski in the morning, do some mountain biking in the afternoon, and enjoy time out on the lake in the early evening. Even as the first full month of summer begins, ski resorts across the Midwest are opening ski lifts and slopes and expecting considerable activity.
Some resort owners say they fully expect to see skiers in shorts and bikini tops on many of their slopes, with temperatures expected to top in the upper 50's for the next several days, including the July 4th holiday. Most resorts haven't been able to remain open this late in the year since 1999.
So why the sudden last minute surge from Old Man Winter? It was primarily the result of record snowfall this season that simply has not melted yet. However a recent low pressure system of considerable strength has brought above average rainfall to much of California's Central Valley and the Sierra in recent days. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the region, due to warming temperatures heading into the holiday weekend that could result in massive snowmelt and runoff, causing river and stream levels to rise significantly.
The downside is that for all the additional skiing opportunities and mild temps, there remains the very real threat of flooding or mud slides. Flood warnings are already in place for some areas of Yosemite National Park, with several popular campgrounds being shut down due to flooding concerns.
Parks and campgrounds across the area are advising campers and hikers to be careful and not to expect a simple hike across the ground, but rather to be ready to hike in snowy, muddy, and wet conditions. Much of the terrain above 8,000 feet remains covered under a thick blanket of snow, with many high level highways and mountain roads in the area still closed. Crews are working to reopen them as soon as possible, often having to remove as much as 15 feet of snow.
Ski resorts are making the most of the extended season, with some planning to stay open as late as July 24. California's Alpine Meadows will be open for skiing on the 4th, for the first time since 1995 and for only the second time in its 50 year history.
In Colorado, visitors to one end of the state are being warned of waist high snow and the possibility of avalanches, while the other end of the state is enforcing camp fire restrictions due to extreme dry weather and forest fire threats.
Visitors to the area should, as always, remain alert and aware of rapidly changing weather conditions and be prepared to evacuate the area if events warrant.

Meat Loaf earned his somewhat eccentric name as a performer in the Rocky Horror Show, the theatrical torture, although he had previously spent several years as a rock singer in Detroit, even recording a single or two for Motown. Bat Out of Hell reflects such diversity, but can't resolve it. Meat Loaf has an outstanding voice, but his phrasing is way too stage-struck to make the album's pretensions to comic-book street life real. He needs a little less West Side Story and a little more Bruce Springsteen.
Jim Steinman, who wrote and arranged the entire album, needs a lot less of both. Some of the songs here, particularly "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth," are swell, but they are entirely mannered and derivative. Steinman is wordy, and his attempts to recapture adolescence are only remembrances; he can't bring out the transcendently personal elements that make a song like "Night Moves," an obvious influence here. The arrangements aren't bad, although they play into the hammiest of Meat Loaf's postures, and the playing is excellent, led by pianist Roy Bittan and drummer Max Weinberg of Springsteen's E Street Band and producer Todd Rundgren's guitars. But the principals have some growing to do.

Gian Piero Gasperini is looking for his first Palermo points this afternoon against a Pescara side without a victory.
Both these teams have only a point to their names and go head-to-head for the first time in Serie A history, kicking off at 17.30 UK time. Click here for a match preview.
Palermo are in turmoil after sacking Coach Giuseppe Sannino, as replacement Gasperini lost his debut 1-0 to Atalanta on Sunday.
He is forced to do without Mauro Cetto, Eran Zahavi and Milan Milanovic, the latter ruled out for a month.
Fabrizio Miccoli is still not 100 per cent fit so starts from the bench, but despite President Maurizio Zamparini's complaints, €12m summer investment Paulo Dybala is again left out of the starting XI.
Pescara grabbed their first point of the campaign in a 1-1 draw with Bologna on Sunday, despite playing the final half-hour with 10 men.
Goalkeeper Ivan Pelizzoli came off the bench to save a penalty in that game and starts today as Mattia Perin and defender Christian Terlizzi are suspended.
On the injury list are Francesco Modesto and Alessandro Crescenzi, while Juan Fernando Quintero and Gianluca Caprari support lone centre-forward Ante Vukusic.
Pescara: Pelizzoli; Zanon, Cosic, Bocchetti, Balzano; Cascione, Colucci, Nielsen; Quintero, Caprari; Vukusic
Pescara bench: Falso, Capuano, Soddimo, Bjarnason, Abbruscato, Celik, Brugman, Weiss, Blasi, Jonathas
Palermo: Ujkani; Munoz, Donati, Von Bergen; Morganella, Arevalo Rios, Barreto, Garcia; Giorgi, Ilicic; Hernandez
Palermo bench: Benussi, Mantovani, Viola, Dybala, Miccoli, Bertolo, Labrin, Budan, Brienza, Brichetto, Kurtic, Pisano

Thermaltake MEKA G-Unit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Manufacturer: Thermaltake eSPORTS
Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by Thermaltake.
Mechanical keyboards aimed at gamers are starting to take root in the enthusiast market. Keeping pace with this trend, Thermaltake eSPORTS has melded the two breeds into the MEKA G-Unit. Model KB-MGU006 builds macros, backlighting and other gaming features onto a robust mechanical keyboard base. There has been alot of hype around these "hybrid" style keyboards. As usual, Benchmark Reviews will cut through the flummery and use facts and performance to predict the future of the MEKA G-Unit and it's mechi-gaming peers.
For example, some of the newer keyboards are boasting 1000 Hz USB polling rates for improved performance. Does this make a difference? And if so, how much? It has been conclusively proven that it makes a difference for a mouse, so it must be just as good for keyboards too. Right? Well, maybe.
There's a temptation for companies to overstate the benefits gained by various features. It's as if consumers base their purchases on the length of the feature list rather than on things that really matter. But some statements are difficult to test or verify, even for the technical-minded. So we'll do our best.
When it comes to the MEKA G-Unit the two main areas that will get attention are the gaming features and the mechanical composition of the board, with special attention to the claims made by Thermaltake. When it comes to gaming macros and performance are important, but performance is considered more when evaluating the physical makeup of the board. Overall use and feel are always important and will be evaluated by putting the keyboard through our daily routine. We'll look at the technical specs of the mechanical components and compare differences from normal keyboards. Finally, we'll measure the performance of the keys for multiple key presses, ghosting, and make an estimate on speed.
