Mich. School Chief Focuses on STEM Learning
Linda S. Hicks | Superintendent
Battle Creek Public Schools, Mich.
Veteran educator Linda S. Hicks arrived in 2010 to lead the city school district in Battle Creek, Mich. Capitalizing on its multinational food manufacturers and nearby research and training facilities, she immediately decided to tap the area's potential as a source of future STEM-focused jobs for many of her students.
And so she began taking steps to enhance the 5,300-student district's STEM offerings, including revamping an elementary school and a middle school to bring a STEM focus. In addition, she launched a districtwide STEM education panel to help build a strong and sustained vision for education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
"This is the perfect place [for an emphasis on those disciplines], because there are so many future STEM opportunities for kids," says Hicks.
Noting the district's high concentration of students living in poverty—about 75 percent are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch—she says: "We have some of the most vulnerable children. [They] need to be inspired. ... Our kids need to see some real potential opportunities for their future."
Nicknamed "Cereal City," Battle Creek is home to Kellogg Co., maker of such well-known products as Special K, Frosted Flakes, and Eggo waffles, plus a major manufacturing facility for Post Foods, which makes Post Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts, and other cereals. In addition, the International Food Training Institute, which trains food-safety officials, is based in the city. And the company Covance recently opened a nutritional-chemistry and food-safety laboratory.
Observers describe Hicks—who is 54 and has 30-plus years' experience in education as a teacher, principal, and superintendent—as a passionate and hands-on leader who is determined to create meaningful opportunities for disadvantaged young people. And she's seen as quick to seize on and maximize opportunities to promote enhanced STEM learning, and also to understand the importance of providing a sustained focus on the issue.
"I have been so impressed with her STEM commitment," says Arelis E. Diaz, a program officer with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which is supporting the district's involvement with a recently launched STEM teacher-fellowship program in Michigan.
It's not just her leadership on STEM that has impressed Diaz, but the superintendent's broader vision and determination to help the district's students overcome disadvantages to succeed in academics and life.
"She has a courageous spirit about her that I really admire," Diaz says. "She basically has a 'no excuses' approach, that we have to do what it takes to ensure that all students can learn, and that it can be done in Battle Creek public schools."
One opportunity Hicks seized came when she was approached about having her district take part in a STEM teacher-fellowship program. Developed by the Princeton, N.J.-based Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the program recruits individuals with STEM expertise to become teachers in those subjects. As part of the process, participants get intensive clinical experience in local schools, where each one is paired with a classroom teacher.
Building a Teaching Pool
"Linda really understands that this is about developing capacity and talent within her district," says Audra M. Watson, a program officer for the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. "She sees this as an opportunity to not only grow her own strong and high-quality teachers, but also as an opportunity for her own teachers to continue their professional development."
Watson notes that the superintendent was personally involved in selecting teachers to mentor the fellows, and also spent time in professional-development meetings with those teachers to "make sure she had a sense of what was happening, to make sure she set the vision."
Another priority for Hicks has been the new STEM focus at an elementary and a middle school. The elementary school initiated the change in the 2011-12 academic year, while the neighboring middle school transitioned its 6th grade to a STEM-focused curriculum starting this academic year.
"This is one of my babies," Hicks says of Dudley STEM Elementary School. "I call it my 'school of inspiration,' where we put a lot of supports to help kids become familiar with career paths that they hadn't even thought of, or heard of."
The district is already the site of the Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center, one of 33 such centers across Michigan that offer STEM coursework to advanced students at the secondary level, as well as provide professional development for teachers and develop curricular materials.
The center will soon move to a major new facility under construction in the city, where Hicks hopes more local students can enroll.
"I want to make sure I have a pipeline so more of my students have an opportunity to go to this school," she says, even while saying she wants more advanced STEM opportunities in her district's existing high school, too.
Analyzing Data
Kathy M. Grosso, the STEM facilitator at Dudley STEM Elementary School, says the core idea in that school is to integrate STEM concepts across the curriculum and better prepare students academically in math and science.
In addition, the school organizes special events that get families involved, such as a recent Night of Flight—held at an airplane hangar in Battle Creek that's part of Western Michigan University's school of aviation—that featured a paper-airplane contest for students.
Grosso also was named last year by the superintendent to oversee the new districtwide STEM panel, which is composed of school principals, guidance counselors, teachers, and a representative from a local community college.
To get started, says Grosso, the district is collecting and analyzing data on who enrolls in STEM classes and who succeeds, among other information.
"That will inform the courses that we offer, especially at middle and high schools, and ensure that we're providing the right kind of support," especially for African-American and female students, Grosso says, noting two populations that traditionally have been underrepresented in the STEM fields.
She also praises Hicks for being deliberate in seizing opportunities to improve the system's schools.
"She's really been good at listening, being aware of what's happening in the community, and taking advantage of that opportunity," Grosso says.
The STEM facilitator also finds Hicks to have an inspiring vision that goes beyond rhetoric.
"I really feel committed to her vision because it's rooted in kids, really rooted in kids, not just saying it," says Grosso. "A lot of people say 'students first,' but that is the foundation of everything she does."

Supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss helped disgraced fashion designer John Galliano get back on his feet after his infamous anti-Semitic rant and subsequent stint in rehab.
Galliano's fall from grace came after he was arrested for hurling racist comments at a couple during a night out in France in 2011, which cost him his job as head designer at Christian Dior later that year.
The star apologized, but the damage was done and Galliano was largely ostracized from the fashion community.
He recently sat down with Vanity Fair magazine for his first interview since the scandal, and admits he was in a really dark place at the time of the incident due to his substance abuse issues.
He says, "At first alcohol was like a crutch outside of Dior. Then I would use it to crash after the collections. I'd take a couple of days to get over it, like everyone. But with more collections, the crash happened more often, and then I was a slave to it. Then the pills kicked in because I couldn't sleep. Then the other pills kicked in because I couldn't stop shaking. I would also have these huge bottles of liquor that people got for me. Towards the end, it was whatever I could get my hands on. Vodka or vodka-and-tonic. … But I never for one second would admit I was an alcoholic. I thought I could control it."
British catwalk star Campbell, who once struggled with her own drug problems, stood by Galliano and even helped reserve a spot for him at a rehab center in Arizona, where he spent six weeks undergoing treatment.
Meanwhile, Evangelista was one of his first visitors. She says, "I just didn't want that weekend to go by without anyone reaching out to him."
When he was released, Moss hired Galliano to design her wedding dress for her nuptials to Jamie Hince. She explains, "When my dad gave his speech he thanked everyone and then he referred to the genius of Galliano, who made his daughter's dress. Everyone stood up and gave John a standing ovation. It was the most moving thing, because suddenly John realized he wasn't on his own."

Understanding German Shepherd Dog - German Shepherd Dog Tail Positioning
Here's a tale of the tail! Let us now talk about the German Shepherd tail carriage. It's all about the language of tail that you can judge many things regarding the mental state of the time. Deviations can't be denied in this regard, because it largely depends on how your GSD carries its tail usually. If your German Shepherd Dog carries his tail higher in normal circumstances, this is a deviation from the normal and hence it might be a bit tougher for a stranger to understand your shepherd's mental state properly. Here are ten most significant German Shepherd Dog tail carriage positions that can help you understand what actually a Shepherd is feeling or thinking. It's all about the understanding the signals.
Tail carried Horizontal: If your GSD is carrying his tail almost horizontally, apart from his hind legs, without stiffing it, he is having a more attentive and closer watch to his surroundings and the elements therein. The elements, here, denotes everything that are going on in the surrounding, including the flight of a bird, approaching of a strange person, wafting off of leaves, playing of the squirrels, a running sheep etc.
Tail carried apart from the hind legs Stiffly: If the GSD carries his tail stiffly apart from his body, this is an indication that the dog is getting mentally prepared to accept an initial challenge. This usually happens when he finds an intruder getting into his territory. This action is followed by "deep grumbling bark", displaying "Social Aggression".
Tail Carried Upward: If the GSD is carrying his tail upward (in a gentle curved way... not upright or vertical), this is an indication that the dog has gathered enough confidence in himself and wants to assert dominance or show his bossiness. If the German Shepherd carries his tail high with sharp upward bend, he tends to show his dominance with aggression.
Tail Carried Lower than Horizontal: If a GSD carries his tail but with a distance from his hind legs, he displays a relaxed attitude. He is waiting for you to come near; he is friendly.
Tail Carried a Bit More Downward: If the GSD carries his tail a bit too downward, closer (but not tucked) to the hind legs, his is giving any of the several signals. He may want to show that he is disturbed or depressed or or insecure or is just not liking to mingle.
Tail Tucked to Hind Legs: Tail tucked to the hind legs, with usually the ears laid flat at back are submissive signals. This indicates that he's scared, but can also challenge you directly.
Tail Wagged Slowly: Slow tail wagging indicates that the GSD is confused.
Tail Wagged Broad: When the GSD is wagging his tail broad, it is an indication that he wants your touch. This not necessarily happen with the person or dog he already knows, but the action can also be displayed when he finds someone new and wants befriend him or her.
There are many such subtle things to be noticed in your German Shepherd Dog and a responsible German Shepherd owner usually does this. Understanding the the body language of a German Shepherd dog is the best way to understand what's going on in his mind. Eyes speak a lot too! All you need to have a bit of patience and eagerness to learn more about German Shepherd Dogs.

The Situation
How long do you wait for hot water? Millions of homes around Australia feature hot water reticulation systems that offer no choice but to waste thousands of litres of water annually.
Every morning before you step into the shower, the cold water in the pipes has to be drained before the hot water arrives. If your bathroom is some distance from the heater, this represents a lot of wasted water every week. In fact, for the average four person dwelling, this can amount to 20,000 litres of water down the drain each year*.
The same applies to kitchens that might be some distance from the heater. There's a lot of water cooling in your hot water lines running through ceilings and down wall cavities, waiting for someone to turn on the tap.
For Jayson Webb, Branch Manager, McCracken's Water Services, at Warwick, Queensland, the hot water was taking far too long to arrive at his main bathroom.
"Living in Warwick the winters can get very cold so the hot water can take a while to come through. I have two bathrooms at my place, and the hot water service is at the front of the house with the main bathroom a good 25 metres away."
The Grundfos Solution
Jayson wanted a solution and found one with Grundfos.
The solution was a small recirculation pump and valve system, called the Grundfos Comfort System. The system can be easily installed by a plumber to existing homes.
In established homes, with traditional water reticulation systems, installing a new return water pipeline can be expensive and time consuming. However, if a Comfort System is installed, there is no need to install a new line.
The result is instant hot water from existing electrical water heating systems, no matter how far the kitchen or the bathroom is from the hot water tank.
"I fitted the Grundfos Comfort System about 3 months ago, and it's made a huge difference to our water usage. I use the Comfort system with a timer, so I have it coming on about 2hrs before we wake up in the mornings and the same in the afternoon for the kids to have a shower," said Jayson.
He continued, "The timer on the pump makes the system more efficient by not running during down times such as the middle of the day or during the nights."
The Outcome
For Jayson and his family, the outcome has been great. No warm-up period, no wasted water, just instant hot water on tap.
As Branch Manager of an Authorised Grundfos Dealer, Jayson says, "Having had one at my own house gives me the utmost confidence in selling them to our customers."

The innovate Grundfos Comfort System can be fitted to existing homes, without the need to fit a return line.

Today's guest post is from Dr. Steve Runge, a scholar-in-residence at Logos Bible Software, whose work focuses on the discourse grammar of Hebrew and Greek.
Have you ever wondered about the changes in names, or the orders of names, that you see in the New Testament? A common answer to these kinds of questions has been that the changes represent "stylistic variation" by the writers, and are not very significant. Depending on your view of inspiration, you might not be satisfied with such an answer. I know that sometimes I vary the names I use to refer to my kids, and there is meaning to be associated with the changes. If they have been behaving badly while mom was out running errands, I might say to her, "Your children were . . . ." You can fill in the rest. If my wife heard these words, she would immediately know that I was not well-pleased with them. Calling my kids 'your children' in certain contexts has predictable, repeatable effects.
If I were to ask my wife, "How's the most helpful and caring wife in the world doing this morning," she will likely wonder if I am buttering her up for something. Using these kinds of expressions to refer to my kids and my wife is not the norm; they stand out in the context. They each serve to 'characterize' the people they refer to in a specific way.
About 11 years ago, this question of characterization got stuck in my craw, and it took a good bit of reading to figure out what was going on. I found examples of it all over the Bible, but was not satisfied with the typical answers I found. These kinds of questions ended up becoming the focus of my doctoral studies. John 11, the chapter where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, provides a great chance to look at some of the devices that the biblical writers used to carefully shape their words and message. The patterns they used are found not only in Greek, but in Hebrew and many other languages as well. Understanding these devices will help us better understand the point the writers are trying to make, and can really help you with your Bible study. So if you are interested in learning more about this, keep reading! These concepts are part of a new resource we are working on called the Lexham High Definition New Testament. Here is the ESV version of John 11:1-5.
1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill." 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it." 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Three people are mentioned in v. 1: Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. This is the first mention of Lazarus in John's gospel, so he needs to be introduced from scratch. His introduction in v. 1 could be translated something like, 'There was this sick guy, Lazarus of Bethany . . . .' Mary is the most well-known character, which John reminds us of in v. 2. Finally, Martha is introduced, and linked to Mary as 'her sister' so that we know how she fits into the story.
In v. 3, Mary and Martha are referred to collectively as 'the sisters'. Lazarus is referred to as 'he whom you love'. Why not just call him 'Lazarus'? One reason for making a change like this is to make the reader think about Lazarus in a particular way, just like I did with my wife and kids above. In this case, the sisters are appealing to Jesus not just to heal Lazarus. They are appealing to Jesus' love for Lazarus as an encouragement for him to come and heal their brother. Calling him 'he whom you love' also lets us know that Jesus has a close relationship with Lazarus, something that is important for understanding Jesus' actions later in the story.
This strategy of switching from a proper name to a thematically-loaded expression is frequently used to characterize participants in a particular way. It forces us to think about them in a way that we would not otherwise have had in mind. Such changes are often motivated by wanting us to think about a particular person in a particular way, based on its importance to the big idea of the passage. In the context of John 11, this thematic characterization lets us know that when Jesus does not immediately heed the sisters' request that he is not blowing them off because he doesn't care about Lazarus. It also lets us know why he weeps in v. 35.
In verse 5, we learn that Jesus loves all of them, not just Lazarus. Take a look at how Lazarus, Mary and Martha are now referred to in this verse. Do you see the changes from v. 1?
3 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
There are several of them. The order of the characters has changed, with Lazarus last and the sisters first. There is also a change in Mary's referring expression from a proper name 'Mary' to the less-specific 'her sister'. Do these changes make any difference? Yes!
There are three basic reasons for switching from a proper name like this. One reason was already mentioned above, (re)characterization. The change makes you think about the character in a particular way that is important to the context. The second reason for changing from a proper name is to background one character with respect to another. Most main characters are given a proper name, while less-important ones are assigned less-specific expressions like 'his servant' or 'one of the Pharisees'. If both sisters had been referred to using proper names, it would have placed Mary and Martha (and Lazarus too, for that matter) on an equal level of importance, perhaps with the more important one occurring first in the list. In v. 5 we have both Lazarus and Martha assigned proper names. Changing from 'Mary' to 'her sister' has the effect of pushing her into the background, figuratively speaking. This raises a question. Which of the two named characters is more important, Martha or Lazarus? This is where the third function of these name changes comes into play.
Use of 'her sister', either as a substitute for a proper name or as a supplement to a proper name (like 'Mary, her sister'), can indicate who the current 'center of attention' is. It is something like the writer putting a spotlight on the character he wants us to focus on. Notice that Mary is linked to Martha as 'her sister'. She also could have been called "Lazarus' sister", but this would have made us think that Lazarus is the center of attention, not Martha.
Why is she more important than Lazarus? After all, it is Lazarus who is raised from the dead, not Martha. Martha is the center of attention because of the importance of her conversation with Jesus in vv. 20-30. This dialogue is with Martha, not Mary, not Lazarus. John is foreshadowing this through the changes that he makes, and he uses these kinds of devices consistently throughout his gospel. If he had called Mary by her proper name, there would be no explicit signal about who the center of attention is. Calling her, 'Mary, her sister' in v. 28 accomplishes the same thing, reinforcing that attention is still focused on Martha.
When the chapter opened, Mary was the one that the village and Martha were connected to, since she was the best-known character of the three. John needed to tell us how to connect these new characters to the story, and he did it by connecting them to someone we already knew: Mary. However, once everyone is introduced, John shifts gears in v. 5 to put Martha in the spotlight because of the importance of her dialogue with Jesus.
John has a point that he wants to make sure we understand, and he uses every means available to make sure we get it. These kinds of changes are one of the many tools the biblical writers used, and they are comparable to tools found in many other languages. The Lexham High Definition New Testament identifies the most practical of these tools every place they occur in the New Testament. We have looked at how John used 'characterization' in John 11, but he is not the only writer to use this convention. Look at how Paul refers to the Father in Eph 1:3: "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places". He is not trying to tell us which 'God and Father' he is referring to with "who has blessed us…" He is characterizing God in a particular way based on its importance to what follows. He wants us to recall these qualities and characteristics of God because of their importance to what he is about to tell us in the letter that follows.
Now, the Greek New Testament is not the only place you find (re)characterization used to shift the center of attention back and forth between the actors in a narrative. Most every language does this: The devices may differ from language to language, but the basic task and its effects are the same. For some great examples of shifting the center of attention onto different characters, take a look at Genesis 27. There are SEVEN re-characterizations in ONE chapter. They all coincide with switches in the initiator of the action within the story. Below is a chart with excerpts from the ESV text in one column and a description of what is going on in the other.
If you read the story, take a close look at v. 21. At the point that Isaac is not sure whether to believe Jacob or not, there is no explicit indication of the center of attention. Once he decides to go along with Jacob's plan, Isaac is referred to as "Isaac his father" in v. 22.
The same device is used in Gen 2-3 to indicate shifts in the center of attention. Take a look at how 'Eve' is referred to. She starts as 'Adam's wife' in 2:25, then shifts to 'the woman' as she interacts with the serpent in 3:2-6. Then she gives the fruit to 'her husband' who eats it, which is consistent with Eve being the center of attention (Adam was last referred to as 'the man in 2:25). Eve is the initiator and the center of attention for the first part of Genesis 3, which is a shift from Genesis 2. The writer unambiguously communicates this shift through the changes in referring expressions. When the two of them hide from the LORD God in 3:8, 'they' hear Him coming and 'the man and his wife' hide themselves. Another switch! There is no need for saying 'the man and his wife' since saying 'they' would have been just as clear. But making this switch from 'the woman' to 'his wife' explicitly signals the shift in center of attention from Eve to Adam just before the LORD God addresses Adam as the one responsible for the Fall.
This are just of few examples of 'characterization', one of fifteen devices that is included in the
soon-to-be-prepubbed Lexham High Definition New Testament. If you found this post helpful, take a look at the post on backgrounding of action or the making of the Lexham High Definition New Testament. Tune in next week to learn about another practical device from this new resource that can help make a difference in your Bible study!

Here is the text of the 'short order' that dismissed the constitutional petitions against the dual offices of General Musharraf.
"For reasons to be recorded later, as per majority view of 6 to 3, these petitions are held to be not maintainable with the contemplation of Article 184(3) of the Constitution.
As per minority view of Mr. Justice Rana Bhagwandas, Mr.Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan and Mr. Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan, all the petitions are held to be maintainable"
Simply put, by a 6-3 majority decision the Supreme Court has allowed a usurping general to follow his election game plan on the basis of mere legal technicalities.
Reality informs us that in the 21st century world military rulers are now a rarity. Therefore when an apex court of a country seemingly turns a blind eye towards a uniformed army chief engaged in grasping the highest civilian office in the land, serious questions are bound to be raised.
Now instead of your Blogger adding his two bits of 'wisdom', it would be more appropriate if the task was left to two of Pakistan's most respected senior jurists.
Retired Justice Fakhruddin G Ibrahim - who was sacked after refusing on principle to retake his judicial oath under Ziaul Haq's post-coup Provisional Constitutional Order – was reported having made the following comments:
- "Friday's decision was not understandable….the Supreme Court should have mentioned, at least, [a brief] reason in the short judgment that on what grounds or under which articles of the Constitution the superior judiciary declared the entire petitions not maintainable."
- "The petitions couldn't be rejected only by declaring that these were not in accordance with Article 183(4) … [instead] the apex court should have declared on the very first day that these petitions were not maintainable and there was no need to hang the nation in air for so many days."
- "The plain rejection of all the petitions without assigning any reason or ground had raised many eyebrows."
- "In fact, nothing has been decided still and all issues raised in different petitions will be challenged again in a more effective manner now… a better way to fight Musharraf's rule was that first his nomination papers should be challenged in the Election Commission (EC) and on failure to get justice, the lawyers should then knock at the door of the superior judiciary."
Not surprisingly a more stinging attack was delivered by the other highly regarded former member of the Supreme Court, retired Justice Wajihuddin - who was sacked after refusing on principle to retake his judicial oath under Musharraf's post-coup Provisional Constitutional Order. He also happens to have been nominated by the the lawyer community as a rival candidate for the presidency.
Appearing on Dawn TV shortly after the controversial verdict was announced on 28 September, Justice Wajihuddin declared that according to law once a legal decision is delivered it becomes public property. And as such, honest criticism of the decision and the judges involved was quite permissible under law. Having made this point he then embarked on some damning criticism:
- The majority decision was incorrect in law.
- If these six judges had been convinced that these petitions were not "maintainable" then they should have said so at the onset and not wasted time, effort and money by stretching the proceedings for nearly a fortnight and should not have delved into the nitty-gritty of the case by asking so many 'irrelevant' long-drawn-out questions from the legal counsels of both parties.
- He also questioned the impartiality of three of the judges supporting the majority decision. According to him they should have recused themselves (Justice Wajihuddin then made reference to the Islamabad Club, where two of the judges are known to have openly dined and socialised with the leading member's of Musharraf's legal team in a complete contravention of proper judicial behaviour).
- And, according to him, when the Court earlier rejected the application asking for a full Supreme Court bench to hear the case in view of the public importance of the issue involved, the bench disregarded proper legal procedure by not naming the judges who had supported and those who had opposed this very important ruling.
- He also noted that on two recent occasions - the CJ Case and the Nawaz Sharif Exile Case- when the verdict went against the regime, both Sharifuddin Pirzada and Abdul Qayum had not bothered to await the verdict but had much earlier on opted instead to decamp from the court precincts. However, quite remarkably, on this occasion they both had remained at the Supreme Court (which understandably raises fears of advance notification).
Retired Justice Wajihuddin's criticism probably proved all too scathing and I don't think it was re-broadcast by Dawn News during primetime news later that evening.
For the record the three dissenting judges were:
Justice Rana Bhagwandas
Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan
Justice Shakirullah Jan
And those supporting the majority decision were:
Justice Javed Iqbal,
Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar
Justice Muhammad Nawaz Abbasi,
Justice Faqir Muhammad Khokar,
Justice Falak Sher,
Justice M Javed Buttar
As your Blogger is not particularly familiar with the career history of Supreme Court judges, he wishes to share this relatively informative (and quite non-PC) web entry with his readers. It certainly provides food for some thought.
An aggrieved Pakistani by the name of Ammar Qureshi made the following comments on Pakistaniat.Com yesterday:
I did not want to bring in the ethnic factor into this debate, but as a Punjabi I feel really ashamed that 6 Punjabi judges have favored General Musharraf and 3 non-Punjabi judges (one Sindhi Hindu and 2 Pathans) ruled against General Musharraf.
CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry made a big mistake by constituting the 9 member bench in such a manner that it included 5 judges known for their association with the establishment or government:
Justices Nawaz Abbasi and Khokhar had served as law secretary during Musharraf's time;
Justice Javed Iqbal took the oath of acting chief justice when CJ Iftikhar was illegally suspended on 9th of March;
Justice Buttar gave the verdict in favour of the government during CJ case and against CJ Iftikhar;
Justice Dogar has served as Acting Chief Election Commissioner;
Justice Falaksher was the only judge about whom one was not [sure] whether he would favour the government or not but at the end he also sided with other Punjabi judges.
Final Comment:
In your Blogger's opinion this disagreeable verdict clearly does not provide legal sanction to Musharraf to contest the presidential election in uniform – instead it simply ignores the issue altogether.
As that pathetically supine Chief Election Commissioner, retired Justice Qazi Muhammad Farooq, is bound to reject all the objections raised against Musharraf's nomination by Justice Wajihuddin, the matter will be raised once again in the Supreme Court on appeal. This time (hopefully)it will not be all that easy for some of these judges to shirk their responsibilities.

Revlon was founded in 1932, by Charles Revson and his brother Joseph, along with a chemist, Charles Lachman, who contributed the "L" in the REVLON name. Starting with a single product - a nail enamel unlike any before it - the three founders pooled their meager resources and developed a unique manufacturing process.
Today, Revlon is a global leader in cosmetics, hair color, fragrances, skin care and beauty care products. As one of the strongest consumer brand franchises in the world, Revlon's products are sold in over 100 countries across six continents.
As a leading cosmetics brand, Revlon revitalized the industry over the years with iconic nail and lip colors and breakthrough technology like ColorStay transfer-resistant lipstick and makeup.
Revlon does not conduct animal testing and has not done so since 1989. They comprehensively test all of their products using the most technological advanced methods available ensuring they are both innovative and safe to use. The company believes that women should have the opportunity to express themselves through makeup, so the products are sold in many markets around the world and as such, are subject to local rules and regulations. Regulatory authorities in a few countries conduct independent testing in order to satisfy their own mandatory registration requirements. Revlon complies with all regulations in the countries in which their products are sold, and supports the advancement of non-animal testing alternatives and methodologies in the industry.

Malignant Hypertension
(Hypertensive Emergency; Hypertensive Crisis; Hypertensive Urgency)
Malignant hypertension is blood pressure that is so high that it is actually causing damage to organs, particularly in the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and/or the kidneys. One type of such damage is called papilledema, a condition in which the optic nerve leading to the eye becomes dangerously swollen, threatening vision.
This is a serious condition that requires immediate care from your doctor. Rapid treatment can prevent long-term problems. Left untreated, damage from malignant hypertension occurs quickly and can be severe, involving organ damage to blood vessels, the eyes, heart, spleen, kidneys, and brain. In particular, kidney failure]]> may develop since the blood vessels inside the kidneys are very sensitive to high blood pressure.
Cardiovascular System and Kidneys
In addition to having high blood pressure]]> , medical conditions leading to the development of malignant hypertension include:
- History of kidney disorders or failure
- Taking certain drugs or medications, including cocaine, amphetamines, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and oral contraceptives
- History of collagen vascular diseases
- Pregnant women with ]]>preeclampsia]]> and eclampsia
- Pheochromocytoma
- Spinal cord disorders
- Coarctation or dissection of the aorta
- Renal artery stenosis or narrowing of the arteries to the kidneys
- Missing doses of prescribed antihypertensive medications, particularly beta-blockers or clonidine (Catapres), which can cause a rebound effect. Medication noncompliance is the most common reason for hypertensive emergencies.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. You are more likely to develop malignant hypertension if you have already have essential hypertension—high blood pressure of 140/90 or higher. Your risk may increase further if you are:
- Male
- African American
- A smoker
Malignant hypertension produces noticeable symptoms, including:
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Headache
- Visual problems
- Nausea and vomiting
- Numbness/weakness of the legs, arms, face
In particular, malignant hypertension can lead to a condition called hypertensive encephalopathy. Symptoms of this condition include: headache, vomiting, blurry vision with papilledema, mental changes like anxiety]]> , confusion, fatigue, and seizure.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, do not assume it is due to malignant hypertension. These symptoms may be caused by other health conditions, including a ]]>heart attack]]> or other less serious disorders. If you experience any one of them, see your physician.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Your blood pressure readings will probably be very high. Readings will be taken in both arms, while lying down and while standing up. A careful stethoscope exam of your heart and a detailed neurological exam will be performed. An eye exam may show signs of high blood pressure, including swelling of the optic nerve or bleeding inside the eye.
Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests for BUN and creatinine levels to check for kidney damage
- Chest x-ray]]>
- Echocardiogram or ultrasound of the heart to look for heart damage
- Urine tests for high levels of protein, small amounts of blood or abnormally high levels or certain hormones
- ]]>EKG]]> to look at the heart's electrical functioning
- Renal duplex or ]]>ultrasound]]> test of the kidney's arteries to look for blockage
Since malignant hypertension is a medical emergency, treatment needs to be received quickly. Treatment options include the following:
Intravenous high blood pressure medications–The specific medication will be chosen based on your specific situation, including whether you are suffering from damage to your kidneys or other organs. Possible medications may include:
- Sodium nitroprusside or nitroglycerin
- Beta-blockers
- Hydralazine
- Labetalol
- Vasotec (enalapril) and ACE-inhibitor
- Oral high blood pressure medicines once blood pressure has been lowered from dangerous levels
- Dialysis]]>
If you are diagnosed with malignant hypertension, follow your doctor's instructions .

With fellow pregnant star Kim Kardashian facing criticism for her weight gain and maternity style, actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum tweeted a special note on Monday, April 1 coming to the defense of all pregnant women.
"Let's all be kind to every woman out there who is expecting," Dewan-Tatum, 32, who is carrying her first child with husband Channing Tatum, wrote. "It shouldn't be about how much weight someone has gained, their fashion etc . . . it's a beautiful amazing moment in time and not about vanity."
That being said, the mom-to-be also gave a special shout-out to her fans for being so supportive of her. "And I also wanna thank every one of you for being so loving every day with your tweets and messages," she added. "The love is felt! Thank you."
Since announcing she and her husband of four years are expecting, Dewan-Tatum has been embracing her first pregnancy — including wearing maternity clothes. "I just might forever wear my maternity jeans," she tweeted March 7. "These things are so comfortable! Thank you J Brand, Paige Denim and Citizens of Humanity."
No matter how she dresses her bump, Tatum told E! News that he thinks his wife's pregnancy is "one of the sexiest things ever!"

This center looks at the use of the internet and other forms of media in our lives.
In the first chapter, we look at the topic of Internet Addiction. The DSM-5 does not currently recognize Internet gaming disorder as an official diagnosis. Instead, proposed criteria have been placed in Section III, which lists proposed diagnoses for future consideration and further study. Nevertheless, compulsive Internet use is a serious problem for many people, and there are methods that can be helpful in alleviating this problem. This chapter looks at the background of the addiction, symptoms, and possible treatment methods.
In the second chapter, we look at the usage and effects of media on children. As used in this center, media refers to the vast web of communication and entertainment technologies and services that have become a commonpl...

The admins have been discussing condensing the forums here on TORC. Back in 1999, we had just a few forums, but in 2000 we had an explosion of growth in memberships and posts. So many people were posting that one would have to go through three or four pages to find just one day's new threads. This necessitated increasing the number of forums, and making them more specific. Now that the movies are well in the past, and many people have migrated to facebook and left the old lands of Message Boards, we find we have too many forums and too few posts. Discussion was inhibited in the past by not enough forums. Today it's the opposite. Discussion is inhibited by too many forums. We are a handful of people living in a house built for a thousand.
And so the admins are starting the work of condensing the board. Forums that have not had use in some time are being archived. They are not being deleted; you can still read them in the archive section. Discussion, however, will be limited to the remaining non archived forums.
While it is an easy decision to archive forums where no one has posted in years, it's more difficult to make the decision to archive forums where people still occasionally post. While the admins will make the final call, we do want to get input from the members.
Some forums may be merged. For example, we can condense the Tolkien Movie forums into one "Tolkien: Movies and Media," which would contain discussion of all the films and other productions, as well as Art. Movies (other) can become "Movies and Media: Other" This could also be merged with the Music forum, although that could also merge with "Talk."
Please let us know your feelings about merging and archiving the forums. If the board grows again, we can always add a new forum or dust off an archived forum.

2.17: ALSA doesn't find intel sound
Subject description: Acer 5570z with Intel 945: nopcmcia causes no sound
To get my Acer 5570z to run boot up, I've had to specify the nopcmcia flag. The system loads up fine and works great, but the sound won't detect and I think it's related to the pcmcia. If I remove that from the boot flags it freezes at loading kernel modules. . .
Suggestions to get around this?
Also, the frameraste on video is cheese. I think I'm only getting 8mb of video memory.

I got the same problem with my acer 5610Z.
I booted first with parameter 'puppy nopcmcia'. Then I had no sound because nopcmcia skips detection of pci. To fix this I commented out everything about pcmcia in /etc/rc.d/rcmodules (as Dougal suggested). Now I boot normally (without boot parameter), get pci-devices, but no pcmcia.

So your problem remains?
It would appear to me that altering rc.modules and specifying the nopcmcia option look like they would do the same thing. In the rc.modules file there is a lot of if statements looking specifically for the nopcmcia flag. So it does the same thing, I think?
Alternatively, rather than autoconfig at boot, can't I just turn it on once the system is started?

I'm booting up fine now without the nopcmcia. Then I do a modprode snd-hda-intel, then run alsaconfig and it recognizes the card, but no sound output.
Thanks for the help!

Sorry, let me rephrase.
It's booting without the nopcmcia option.
Then I ran modeprobe snd-hda-intel.
Then I ran alsaconfig. The card came up.
But no sound. No errors, just no sound.

You ran modeprobe snd-hda-intel?

I see a lot of folks having troble with these sound chips including me. I have a new Toshiba laptop that uses the snd-hda-intel driver. I can't get it to work in Vector 5.8. I can't get it to work in Puppy 2.17.1. It does work in Grafpup 2.0. I just haven't been able to figure why one and not the other two.
They are very strange devices.

Subject description: Let me be stupid and ask a question.
Let me ask the stupidest of questions:
Which plug are your speakers plugged into? I only ask as the modern PCI computer sound card can have anywhere from three to five jacks. I find that whenever I change out my soundcard, I have to be extra careful to note which jack is my audio out, and even then I have made the occassional error. Now if you are using an embedded card, I would suggest making certain you didn't accidentally plug your speakers into the microphone jack. I have done that before as well. I know these may seem like rather silly or even stupid ideas, but given how we are all humans, we can certainly make mistakes.
Based upon what I've seen posted here, that is about all I can think of. Outside of that, I simply have no clue.

I'm also trying to get sound to work on an Acer 6291 laptop using Puppy 3.00beta. (Note that I haven't gotten sound to work on this machine with *any* version of Puppy).
I commented-out the pcmcia modprobing lines in rc.modules like zigbert wrote. Now I can boot the laptop without using option 'nopcmcia' and the sound modules load. Unfortunately, no sound though. No errors show in xerrs.log even when I play a sound.
Running lspci -v gives:
00:1b.0 Class 0403: 8086:27d8 (rev 02)
Subsystem: 1025:012a
This is apparently a Realtek ALC268 sound chip
Searching the internet, I found this thread which explains how to fix the sound problem:
No sound on Acer TravelMate 6291with Intel High Definition Audio on Fedora Core 6
Quote from the thread:
This notebook contains a Realtek ALC268 sound chip which hasn't been supported
by ALSA now, but you can get the sound working if you recompile the latest ALSA sources and two patch files (realtek12.tar.gz)
I downloaded the files and tried to compile them, but Barry hasn't yet uploaded the kernel source which is needed.
Got the compile error
The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist

Rarsa, I looked at that link, and noticed the comment that it fixes sound but the microphone still doesn't work.
My Acer laptop has a ALC883 sound chip, and there are many reports of people just going back to an older version of Ubuntu or whatever. I think sound works with ALSA v1.0.12, after that the developer did something that has broken snd-hda-intel on many chips.

Back in 2000, after Susan Luce offered me a job at The News & Observer, I literally jumped up and down.
I was proud to work there.
But this month I took a buyout.
You might have seen the farewell page (PDF) we made for ourselves, posted by Romenesko. And kind words from Buregetta Wheeler.
The decimation of good newspapers is a shame.
I wish everyone well — journalists and our colleagues in other parts of the papers, those who have left and those who carry on.
Fellow McClatchy employees (current and former), I invite you to an alumni group at Linked In.
I will probably move to Albuquerque, to spend more time with my father.

With 3D printing bone Scientists create robot dinosaur
Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara is looking to print out some robot dinosaurs.
He wants to use a 3-D printer to create dinosaur bones, based on real fossils, to use in scaled-down robo-saurs. In the same way that document programs can shrink a page to 50 or 20 or 2 percent of its original size, a 3-D printing program can shrink a blueprint for 100-foot-long skeletons to a more manageable size for study.
The assembled dino-bots will help Lacovara, who is based at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa., study how 60- to 80-ton sauropods stood, walked and mated. "It's great," he said, "because I physically can't lift up [and piece together] the bones."
"It's this new frontier in paleontology," he told InnovationNewsDaily.
It's this new frontier in paleontology.
– Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara
Lacovara will use lasers to scan original, fossilized bones. Then a 3-D printer will make copies of the bones' shape, based on the scans. The printer works by laying down thin layers of plastic, gradually building up the layers into a 3-D object.
Lacovara has already printed a few bones of a Paralititan dinosaur, one of the most massive dinosaur species ever discovered. He, along with an engineering colleague at Drexel, will hook up the printed skeletons with artificial muscles and tendons, creating robots they can watch move. He hopes to have a working dino limb, either of Paralititan or another large sauropod, by the end of the year.
He's not the only biologist who has started using 3-D printing in his research. Others are using the technology to study the bones and movement of fluorescent deep-sea fish and humankind's primate ancestors. The Canadian Museum of Nature in Ontario has its own 3-D printing center for dinosaur fossils.
Besides their re-sizing ability, 3-D printers help researchers create more models more easily than ever. Usually, scientists who want model bones have to painstakingly create molds from original fossils, then use the molds to cast artificial bones. The molds wear out after five or six uses, Lacovara said. On the other hand, a 3-D printer can continue to print crisp, accurate bones indefinitely.

Good evening everypony,
In case anyone told you that fulfilling a Kickstarter is easy? They were lying. I'm hard at work punching in orders for everyone's book, sending them hurtling through the printing press and onwards through mail to you, our loyal backers.
For sake of accounting, those who preordered through our shop were done up all together. It helps that it was only about a dozen orders.
For Kickstarters and Backerkit preorders, we're whittling madly at the list, starting at the higher tiers and bouncing our way downwards. If you have a signed book in your order, have patience. I have a set of books coming my way for the specific purpose of signing and remailing out.
I expect people to start actually receiving books in about 2 weeks.
The light is finally in clear view,
So Much Ordering

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
In a lecture given in 1898, the great American sociologist William Graham Sumner pondered the long term economic and constitutional consequences of the war against Spain:
Now what will hasten the day when our present advantages will wear out and when we shall come down to the conditions of the older and densely populated nations? The answer is: war, debt, taxation, diplomacy, a grand governmental system, pomp, glory, a big army and navy, lavish expenditures, political jobbery - in a word, imperialism…
The point which I have tried to make in this lecture is that expansion and imperialism are at war with the best traditions, principles, and interests of the American people, and that they will plunge us into a network of difficult problems and political perils, which we might have avoided, while they offer us no corresponding advantage in return.
About this Quotation:
Numerous thinkers have argued that there is a continuity in American foreign policy that goes back at least to the Spanish-American War of 1898. Sumner, who lived through this war, was one of these thinkers. He predicted that the end result of continuous "war, debt, taxation, diplomacy, a grand governmental system, pomp, glory, a big army and navy, lavish expenditures, political jobbery" would be the opposite of what America was intended to be, namely "imperialism".

Noah's Pudding
1 cup barley (preferably whole grain barley) or wheat
1 cup canned white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup sugar
1 pkg vanilla or 1 tsp vanilla extract
4 + 6 cups water
10 dry apricots, soaked in water overnight, cut in pieces
10 dried figs, cut in pieces
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup walnuts, crumbled
Place 4 cups of water in a large pot along with the barley. Bring to boil at high heat. Then as soon as it boils, turn it down to medium-low heat and cook for about half an hour. Add the beans, chickpeas, vanilla, apricots, raisins, figs, sugar and 6 cups of hot water. Cook for about 45 minutes at medium-low heat. Stir occasionally. Pour into a large service bowl and let cool.
Keep Noah's Pudding refrigerated. When serving, garnish with crumbled walnuts.
This recipe is one of the oldest and best known desserts of Turkish Cuisine. Its original name is "Aşure". When we cook Aşure, it is traditional to give some away to friends and family.
5000 years ago in Mesopotamia, Noah was King of the city Shuruppak. His was a trade empire, and he built a large trading ship. At that time, there was a raging flood and rainstorm. He and his family loaded animals, grain, fruit and beer on board. The rain continued for 40 days. Afterwards there was no land in sight for 7 days. They ran out of drinking water and since the sea was salty, they had to resort to drinking beer. They eventually landed on Mount Ararat.
The old saying goes that Noah's food was about to run out. He mixed and cooked all that he had left. The result became known as "Noah's Pudding". Turkish people love Aşure and there is even an Aşure Month.

Individual, group and family therapy help patients and their loved ones understand the nature and causes of addiction. Therapy teaches coping strategies and life skills needed to live a productive, sober life in the community. For individuals with a co-occurring mental illness, intensive psychotherapy can also address psychiatric symptoms and find the underlying issues that contribute to addiction.

Separate trials in Zumba prostitution scandal
Alexis Wright has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts
A judge has reaffirmed separate trials for two people charged in a prostitution scandal in Kennebunk, Maine, but is waiting to rule on a request to ban key evidence.
Twenty-nine-year-old dance instructor Alexis Wright has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts including prostitution, invasion of privacy, tax evasion and other charges. Her accused business partner, Mark Strong of Thomaston, also has pleaded not guilty.
On Wednesday, Strong's attorney told the judge that evidence seized from Wright's Zumba studio should not be allowed at trial because the search warrant was obtained based on rumors rather than factual evidence. Police used evidence from the studio to search Strong's property.
Lilley also contends prosecutors have been slow to turn over evidence.
Justice Nancy Mills didn't immediately rule on Lilley's evidentiary motion.
