Dissin' cousins? Obama, Limbaugh and Palin are related
WASHINGTON — Rush Limbaugh calls President Barack Obama "imam," even though he knows the president isn't a Muslim. Sarah Palin has openly doubted the president's "cojones."
Turns out these two conservative firebrands have been dissin' their own cousin.
The online genealogy service Ancestry.com now reports that Obama and Palin are 10th cousins, and Obama and Limbaugh are 10th cousins once removed. In both cases, the ties date to the 1600s.
Obama's distant family ties to former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney surfaced during his presidential campaign. Obama also is a distant cousin of billionaire investor Warren Buffett and actor Brad Pitt, according to Ancestry.com.
Anastasia Tyler, the lead genealogist on the latest project, said in an interview that, "It just shows how all of these politicians, they're on different sides of the political spectrum, but in the end they're all part of what makes America great, and they all go back to deep American roots."
The ties run through Obama's white, Kansas-born mother's side of the family. Obama's Kenyan father's background is harder to document as far back, and likely would have fewer connections to early American settlers. Genealogists say it's typically harder for African-Americans and many minority populations in the U.S. to trace their roots because of a lack of written historical documentation.
Palin's tie to Obama is through early Massachusetts settler John Smith, a protestant pastor in the 1670s who opposed the persecution of Quakers. Smith's wife was the sister of one of the first governors of the Plymouth Bay colony, Thomas Hinckley. Hinckley's father Samuel, it so happens, is the familial link between Obama and Bush.
Obama's and Limbaugh's common ancestor is Richmond Terrell, who settled in Virginia around 1656 and acquired a large amount of land.
One might argue that everyone's related if you go back far enough, but Tyler said that 350 years isn't nearly far enough to connect most Americans to one another.
Eduardo Pagan, a history professor at Arizona State University and the co-host of the PBS show "History Detectives," said that any connection between contemporary figures that exists only hundreds of years in the past is "an interesting curiosity of history" but "doesn't mean anything at all unless someone was raised with that knowledge."
"I don't think that a political perspective — conservative or liberal — dominates in any extended family," he said. "You get a range of opinions, of political views.
"I come down on the side that we are individuals," Pagan said. "There are plenty of historic examples of children who turn out very different than their parents. At a certain level, I'm not sure biology really counts for much of anything in understanding the sweep of history."
Ancestry.com says it has 1.3 million paying subscribers who've built 19 million family trees over the years. The company has publicized many of the celebrity connections it finds.
When Tyler's team began this latest research on Obama about six months ago, researchers were looking for links among political foes in this polarized era of tea party protests and false assertions about Obama's birthplace and religion.
They found that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, is distantly related to conservative author Ann Coulter, as well as to Palin.
They tried but failed to connect Obama to conservative talk show hosts Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, nor could they find a link between Obama and Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Will flood of big money matter in congressional campaigns?

Medicine & Healthcare in Ethiopia by Lea Jacobsen
For me, Ethiopia was just a place on a map with a unique history and a wide variety of cultures. Projects Abroad was able to turn this piece of geography into a large number of faces and experiences that I will never forget. Everything about Ethiopia was different from anything else I have ever done or seen. My Ethiopian family, work experiences and travelling all contributed to one of the most life changing experiences I have ever had.
I was lucky enough to arrive around the time of the Ethiopian New Year and Maskel Festival. The festivals and parades were spectacular and full of large fires, colourful costumes and larger amounts of food and music. Living with an Ethiopian host family was especially nice because we were able to experience not only the daily activities but also the major family events, such as weddings and birthdays.
On one such occasion my host family had a sheep tied up by the front door and my housemate from England made the mistake of naming it Sean. Later Sean disappeared from our house and was discovered in a large amount of the amazing dishes our host mother prepared for the holidays. "Poor Sean" my host brother sighed. "Yes, poor delicious Sean" I agreed as we hungrily ate all the amazing spicy dishes.
My time working in Ethiopia was split between working at a private clinic helping nurses working with kidney dialysis patients, and helping physiotherapists at an NGO working with children who came from difficult backgrounds. At the clinic I was extremely lucky to be put with some very hard working and generous nurses who went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They taught me a lot of Amharic and at the end of my stay gave me a wonderful coffee ceremony to say goodbye.
One day Addis, a nurse, told me to call Rachel, another nurse a "rat face" in Amharic. I did so without knowing what it meant and Rachel in a voice of mock pain asked me in English why I thought she had a rat face. I quickly covered by responding "anchee konjo i-eet feet" which meant that she had a beautiful rat face. They all found this extremely funny and every day we would all eat lunch together and they would bring lunches from home that would be put on one large tray. Everything was very communal and friendly and I learned a lot about the friendliness of the Ethiopian people this way.
Working with Brothers of Good Work was a very different experience than working at the clinic and I am so grateful I got to experience both. The clinic serviced wealthy patients who could afford the service of kidney dialysis while the physiotherapy centre was working with the poorest of the poor. I spent most of my mornings working at an orphanage doing basic exercises with sick children and working with field workers who taught mothers how to do exercises with their children. The organisation also sent the field workers to people's homes, so I was able to get a glimpse of the lives of people who lived in very poor conditions. The clinic did a lot with disability awareness, HIV prevention, nutrition programmes and education for mothers so they can get jobs and earn their own income. It was amazing working with this organisation and seeing the large impact they had on the lives of the people they worked with.
Luckily, working in Ethiopia did not limit my travel opportunities. I was fortunate enough to spend time outside the capital city up North to Lake Tana, where the Nile River starts. Together with some other volunteers we travelled by bus to spend a long four day weekend at Bahir Dar. Projects Abroad recommended a wonderful tour guide who met us at the bus stop when we arrived, showed us our hotel, and took us on a boat to see the historical churches on the islands of Lake Tana. He also took us to see Blue Nile Falls, which was my personal favourite part of the trip, and was kind enough to answer all my questions about, well, everything. "whatkindofbirdisthat oh lookatthatbug howoldisthattree WOW lookatthatflower!" As a biologist, I was very lucky to have him as a tour guide.
My roommate from Australia was working with an extraordinary woman named Eldona who started several of her own schools and who had made her life work to help children receive an education. Eldone took Amy, my roommate, to Axum, Adwa and Lalibela to help set up a sponsorship programme for the children going to schools in Axum and Adwa and was nice enough to let me tag along. The children at the schools were so full of energy and character that I regretted only being able to stay for a short time. We stopped in Lalibela to see the historic stone churches and also were able to see the famous St Mary's church in Axum and the place where they keep the Arc of the Covenant. For anyone who is fascinated with the glorious and rich history of Ethiopia, Axum and Lalibela are places you cannot afford to miss.
Daily life in Ethiopia is full of fun surprises and exhilarating challenges. From fighting over getting a spot on a taxi, haggling over goods at the markets, getting coffee at a café or going to an event put on by the wonderful Projects Abroad staff, everyday you go to bed with a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. My only regret is not getting to stay longer. It was a wonderful and enriching experience where I helped so many people but also had so many people helping me.

Why does it stop the class 1 test on an appliance due to the earth continuity test being over the limit, but will carry on with a cord test with the same earth bond reading ?
Shorly it should halt both tests if the earth continuity result is over the limit, and wait for user confirmation to carry on with the insulation and leakage tests.
As you say it may be a basic tester with extra features, but I have just purchased this tester to carry out testing on appliances and cords....., and it seems that any equipment I test with a long cord I can not fully test....
I wait on your product managers prompt reply.

It's a cloudy and damp start to the weekend. Friday's rain that continued into the overnight hours totaled nearly an inch in most areas though Boston saw more than 2 inches. It will stay cloudy for most of Saturday with occasional rain showers and fog. There may be a quick thunderstorm but none of these storms are expected to be severe. Highs today should be in the mid-70s.
The chance for rain continues tonight, though it is a slight chance.
Sunday is looking warmer and slightly drier. Gusty winds from the southwest will push temperatures into the low- to mid-80s. There is a slight chance of a quick shower or thunderstorm but by no means a washout for any Father's Day plans.
Looking ahead to Monday, it will be rainy and Monday night has a risk for severe widespread thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail and strong winds.

Leaving on a jet plane anytime soon? You might want to take a look at private jet firm VistaJet the next time you're booking a flight (one can dream!). They have just partnered with luxury outerwear brand Moncler to create winter uniforms for the flight staff that are the last word in chic.
They celebrated this collaboration, over Fashion Week with a dinner at Loulou's, the most exclusive nightclub in town. Guests raced from the last shows to sip champagne and relax in this most sumptuous of surroundings. Does it get any better than this?

If you are in a small company or simply in a situation where you want to install a preselected list of programs then why shouldn't you just grab SabayonCore modify the ISO so it will have anything you want and burn that to a disc. Or maybe you want to create your own Sabayon based distro and fork it a bit? Yes you can!
The tool we have in stock to achieve this is called molecule.
First install molecule (equo install molecule)
Then grab an example spec file.
All I can say is that if you want to start something based on the CoreCD you want to have a look at this spec file:
(also found in /etc/molecule/examples)
Since I am for now only looking into a 64bits mastered ISO I've commented out:
# pre chroot command, example, for 32bit chroots on 64bit system, you always
# have to append "linux32" this is useful for inner_chroot_script
# prechroot: linux32
Next I point to where My ISO I want to remaster is:
# Path to source ISO file (MANDATORY)
source_iso: /home/joost/Sabayon_Linux_CoreCD_DAILY_amd64.iso
Now where does this all go:
# Destination directory for the ISO image path (MANDATORY)
destination_iso_directory: /home/joost
Tell molecule to update that ISO before installing anything (that is the next point in line)
# Determine whether repositories update should be run (if packages_to_add is set)
# (default is: no), values are: yes, no.
execute_repositories_update: yes
Tell it to add packages (in this case my set @lxde)
# List of packages that would be added from chrooted system (comma separated)
packages_to_add: @lxde
Ofcourse you can add as many packages here as you want!
I can imagine this does not actually give the perfect result yet.
In my example I use the @lxde set and it contains the gdm login manager by default. On CoreCD chroot there is actually nothing that triggers this to auto start. We also need to configure a file called /etc/conf.d/xdm and set it to use gdm.
Here an example snip. how thats done:
Make it use gdm:
sed -i 's/DISPLAYMANAGER=".*"/DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"/g' /etc/conf.d/xdm
Make xdm startup automaticly (and thus load gdm)
rc-update add xdm
so I created inner_chroot_script_after.sh
# Use gdm by default
sed -i 's/DISPLAYMANAGER=".*"/DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"/g' /etc/conf.d/xdm
# automaticly start xdm
rc-update add xdm
# to be sure, cleanup
equo cleanup
All these commands should be put in a file, and we point our specs file to trigger it from within the chroot like this:
# Inner chroot script command, to be executed inside destination chroot after
# packages installation and removal
inner_chroot_script_after: /home/joost/inner_chroot_script_after.sh
Now run molecule and make it all happen:
molecule sabayon-lxde-amd64.spec
Keep in mind I cannot guarantee anything YET, but it should give you a head start.
Also note that this is a strategy used where we take an excisting iso and modify it basicly. Much more advanced things ARE possible but lets start here rite?

The US gun lobby lashed out at President Barack Obama on Tuesday as an "elitist hypocrite" for providing Secret Service protection to his daughters but balking at having armed guards in all schools.
In a 35-second video released on its website, the National Rifle Association slammed the duplicity of "protection for their kids, and gun-free zones for ours," amid a heated, nationwide gun control debate in the wake of a deadly school shooting.
The advert was released just a day before President Obama unveiled new measures aimed at increasing gun control across the US.
The president called for a ban on the sale of "military-style assault weapons" such as the rifle used at Sandy Hook elementary on December 14, noting that former President Ronald Reagan, the hero of today's Republican Party, urged Washington to prohibit their manufacture in 1994.
After several high-profile massacres involving 30-round ammunition cartridges, Mr Obama also proposed a ten-bullet limit. He also called for comprehensive criminal background checks on Americans trying to buy firearms, and for new gun-trafficking laws to reduce the spread of weapons across the US.
The NRA later savaged the president's plans, saying "attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution."

Questionable Statements
"Naming conventions" paired with an introduction and an overview, feels overly verbose and jumbled flow-wise. I suggest a consolidation of the three, offloading much of that info to wikipedia or the like. Any objections? I'll edit as soon as April. T1nk3r3r (talk) 08:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Enabling video acceleration
~/.bashrc is the wrong place for setting this environment variables. This file is not consulted when starting i.e. firefox from the gnome shell. Setting this variables makes a difference when using flashplayer for youtube videos. When set, flashplayer reports accelerated rendering enabled at home with my ati hd3200 onboard graphics and rendering is faster in full screen mode.
It works now no more worse than under windows.
Catalyst versus Radeon
- Catalyst
The ATI and Catalyst pages state that Catalyst performs better for 3D. As most of you may have experienced, the Catalyst driver is clunky and very badly optimized for Linux. Gaming performance is usually worse than on Windows. Catalyst and Nvidia drivers do not uses Unix interfaces properly (Linux kernel and Xorg), a big part of it is just a bunch of hacks. See what the nouveau folks think. Maybe it's a matter of syncing development between different platforms, so adapting the driver as less as possible from Windows is probably more profitable. The lack of respect for interfaces has one major issue: the compatibility with Xorg and Kernels is extremely fragile. Besides, a lot of features or simply not reliable (or at least a real pain to setup) with these drivers, such as dual head / external output, custom kernels, hibernation...
It would be a great relief for the Unix communities to finally have a free, full-featured and top class 3D graphic driver.
- Radeon
AMD did a very good thing when they decided to release the specs of their cards. FOSS radeon driver is now lightyears beyond nouveau in term of OpenGL implementation. The FOSS radeon driver seems like the ideal future of Unix graphics to me.
Since version 9.0.* from late 2012 and January 2013, OpenGL implementation has moved several steps forward as you can see on the feature matrix. In fact, I've tested several games (native or Wine) and radeon performs much better than catalyst most of the times.
For performance and Unix-frendliness, I suggest we should encourage Unix users to choose radeon over catalyst. Too many people are held back in their switching-to-Unix because of the terrible, infamous catalyst, even if all they need is average 3D graphics.
Since this revolution is brand new, it requires support from the community. We also need concrete data that states the progress, the support and the performance of radeon compared to catalyst.
I suggest we create a benchmark page for that. Should we create a new page? I'll begin it below for now, but we shall move it in the future.
--Ambrevar (talk) 12:07, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
- A benchmark page could be informative, especially for newcomers that are having a difficult time making up their minds. AMD is actually shifting support from Catalyst to radeon drivers. They had hired two bodies to work on the radeon driver. But then I came across this: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/AMD-dismisses-numerous-open-source-developers-1745131.html
- I just found this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/05/amd_open_source_hd_8000_drivers/print.html
- Regardless, there has been a lot of headway in the last four years. I recently tested some games on vanilla Wine and performance was considerable.
- When I came to Arch, I was using Catalyst. I was a pain to setup and maintain. I was since persuaded by a Wine developer to switch to the radeon driver, as it is much easier to debug and submit patches upstream for either Wine or Radeon. Not to mention Catalyst only ever "officially" supported Ubuntu, SUSE, and RedHat.
- Drop a line to the Catalyst talk page? T1nk3r3r (talk) 17:27, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think the message in the introduction is clear: If unsure, try the open source driver first, it will suit most needs and is generally less problematic. -- 09:37, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, but the previous paragraph clearly tells 'if you want 3D performance, go for Catalyst', which is not very true anymore. --Ambrevar (talk) 09:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. So we just need a clear statement from a benchmarking website that supports that. Preferably something recent.
- I will not question the removal of dubious statements, so long as that point is made clear in the edit summary. T1nk3r3r (talk) 19:00, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

The following benchmark table is open for contribution. However the benchmarking process is not trivial, it needs some helper scripts and configurations beforehand.
Turn vsync off
The radeon driver will enable vsync by default, which is perfectly fine except for benchmarking. To turn it off, create
~/.drirc (or edit it if it already exists) and add the following section:
<driconf> <device screen="0" driver="dri2"> <application name="Default"> <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" /> </application> </device> <!-- Other devices ... --> </driconf>
It is effectively dri2, not your video card code (like r600).
Driver switching helper
You may find yourself switching the driver a lot for benchmarking. Since there is conflicts between radeon and catalyst-utils it is quite cumbersome in the long run. So I wrote a little, very simple script. It only works for syslinux and Arch Linux. You must adapt it if you are using GRUB or another bootloader. This will also remove the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file, so if you are using it, backup this file. Catalyst will backup it anyway.
#!/bin/sh if [ -z "$(lspci|grep "VGA.*Radeon")" ]; then echo "You must have a Radeon graphic adapter. Exit." exit fi if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]; then echo "You must be root to run this script. Exit." exit fi if [ $(pacman -Qi catalyst-utils 2>/dev/null|wc -l) -ge 2 ]; then pacman -Rdd --noconfirm catalyst-utils catalyst-dkms lib32-catalyst-utils rm -f "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" pacman -S --noconfirm ati-dri lib32-ati-dri xf86-video-ati if [ -f "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" ]; then sed -i 's/nomodeset//' "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" echo echo "#### Syslinux entry:" grep -A4 "^LABEL arch$" "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" else echo "You do not seem to use Syslinux. No configuration done." echo "You have to remove 'nomodeset' kernel parameter manually." fi else pacman -Rs --noconfirm ati-dri lib32-ati-dri xf86-video-ati pacman -Rdd --noconfirm mesa-libgl lib32-mesa-libgl pacman -S --noconfirm catalyst-utils catalyst-dkms lib32-catalyst-utils aticonfig --initial if [ $? -eq 0 ] && [ -f "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" ]; then sed -i '/^LABEL arch$/{n;n;n;s/$/ nomodeset/}' "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" echo echo "#### Syslinux entry:" grep -A4 "^LABEL arch$" "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" else echo "You do not seem to use Syslinux. No configuration done." echo "You have to add 'nomodeset' kernel parameter manually." fi fi
OpenGL FPS monitor
For native OpenGL games, there is actually no universal solution. Check if the game has an embedded FPS monitor (check the developper console or something like that). Otherwise we must use an external tool that will hook the double buffering function (glXSwapBuffers) to compute the framerate. I've found two FPS monitors that could do that:
- libglfps which I haven't been able to run properly. But with some source code edits I managed to output the FPS to the terminal.
- frapix is newer and seems to work.
It works for some OpenGL applications like glxgears, but it will not for others, e.g. Legend of Grimrock. I'm still looking for a solution here.
Thankfully Wine features an embedded FPS monitor which works for all graphical applications. You just need to start the application with the
WINEDEBUG=fps variable set.
You can actually display the FPS on top of the game window thanks to
osd_cat from the xosd package. I wrote a helper script for convenience:
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then echo "Usage: ${0##*/} WIN32EXE PARAMS" exit fi if [ -z "$(command -v osd_cat)" ]; then echo "You must have osd_cat." exit fi if [ -z "$(sed --version | grep "GNU")" ]; then echo "You must have GNU sed." exit fi WINEDEBUG=fps wine "$@" 2>&1 | tee /dev/stderr | \ sed -un '/^trace:fps:/{s/.* \([^ ]*\)fps/\1/;p}' | \ osd_cat -l1 -f "-*-*-*-*-*-*-32-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -O1 -c "yellow"
It works fullscreen with radeon, but seems quite messy with catalyst: you get a flash everytime osd_cat refreshes the output. A workaround is to play in windowed mode. If you are using a nice enough window manager you can toggle full screen with a shortcut. Ambrevar (talk) 22:15, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Note: this table looks properly aligned when edited in monospace (using Emacs Mediawiki for instance). I'm not sure that's the best way to go for tables in a wiki because the web view looks terrible; but if each column goes on its respective line, that's even harder to read in my opinion.

- Obviously you went through a serious effort to produce these results, thank you. It appears to me that driver performance might be dependant on the game engine as much as anything else, but the two drivers are neck to neck on most games. At least for the 5770, there is no clear performance winner except in a few specific cases. If only we could convince one of the tech sites to do something more comprehensive...I know they always have a nice selection of hardware to pick from... T1nk3r3r (talk) 07:56, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, that was some research on the topic, but that's only the beginning! I still need to work on a proper FPS monitor, but I do not have much time right now. If someone knows how to measure FPS for OpenGL games that do not seem to use glXSwapBuffers... Anyway, as you said, we need more results. I have a bunch of games still waiting to be benchmarked, but I do not have much time right now. I can do it in a month or so. However this is not of utmost importance, what we need right now is a benchmark covering the various ATI cards.
This benchmark definitely needs more advertising. On this page it's worth nothing, chances are high nobody ever reads it. It think it deserves a better, more visited place. ArchWiki is great, and in a few years it managed to gathered so much stuff about Unix. Even when I was using FreeBSD I used Arch Wiki a lot (I'm still using it actually). Besides it seems like there is an army of ex-gamers among Arch users. Look at the Wine stats: AppDB Distributions. I've skimmed over the pages, and it seems like Arch is in the top 5 with Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and Gentoo. What I'm suggesting here is that we can manage to gather the benchmark results for different hardware using the manpower of the Arch Wiki.
Maybe that's not a good idea and it would fit better at Xorg or some place. Tell me what you think. If you agree, we can create an specific page Radeon vs Catalyst or something, create links on ATI and Catalyst pages, and invite users on the forum to contribute. -- Ambrevar (talk) 15:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- My personal conclusion on this benchmark: Catalyst has better performances for native games, but is as bad as Radeon for Wine. Radeon is much more comfortable in many ways since it is almost bug-free (I'm speaking of obvious bugs like crashes and glitches). Every new release of Radeon gives a huge performance boost in games, up to 100-150% I'd say, but I have no data for that. (I could benchmark with 9.0, but that's not worth it, let's wait for 9.2.) -- Ambrevar (talk) 15:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- This has got to start somewhere...I think posting something on the forums, linking here, will increase traffic. We might possibly create a dedicated wiki page, but I don't know how the admins will feel about that. I suppose the forum thread would poll the support on such a move. The main argument for Radeon that was presented to me by a Wine developer was: a bug in Catalyst might get fixed in the distant future, a bug in Radeon could get fixed in a few days. That motivated me to switch. T1nk3r3r (talk) 05:49, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Worth to mention that the powersaving is related to overheating issues. With the default powersaving off my laptop's graphic card, Mobility Radeon HD 4650, overheating causing the system to shutdown. Changing the setting to mid solved this issue.Dhead (talk) 12:37, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Laptops are also prone to dust accumulation. You should try taking some pressurized air to the vents, whether from a can or air compressor. I've seen dust=overheating dozens of times with my own equipment and with friends and family. Naturally, lowering the voltage via powersaving functions will mitigate such issues. Temporarily.

We have 14 players signed up .. we have more than 9 reliable STARTERS on the roster in
C-Barg/Tyson ....
Here are ins and outs .....
How does HC Woody plan on given the listed 10 players decent playingtime minutes per game?
The next question is will all 10 players above be healthy at the start of the season?
How many of the 10 players will perform in the first 25 regular season games?
I ask those question from past experience as a Knicks-Fan, in the past 2 decades the Knicks always start the season with several top salary (starter) players on the injured-list from Larry Johnson, Camby, Mcdyess, Houston, JJ, Curry, Marbury, Amare.
We offseason Knicks fans make our early prediction of the conclusion of the season from the top-13 best players on our roster, it dont look good when two top players are injured in training-camp from not being ready, then one or two injuries happen in preseason, and then there is always that one player that gets on the HC last nerve (several with HC Dantoni).
Analysis on the 10 players above .......
If u notice how I line-up the 10 players above u will notice offensive-players name are first (Felton, JR, Melo, Amare, Barg) these are the players u rarely see committ a foul in the first 18 minutes of a game.
All 5 players talent lies in their high-scoring, passing the ball is a 3rd option, and they are weak defenders u will never see as a candidate for any defensive-team.
HC Phil Jackson would have all 5 offensive-players passing the ball to make their scoring easy, plus steady ball-movement give our top scorer option & easier baskets.
The other 5 players are strictly "defensive-players" inwhich 3 of the players already been on the NBA Defensive-Team in their career (Tyson, K-Mart, Meta, Shump, Beno). Their offensive-scoring come from their defensive-effort. All 5 defensive-players score easy in transition, and transition is something we did not have throughout the 2012-13 season. These 5 defensive-players should not be expected to score in a isolation play, unless u want them to look poor on offense.

The Official Blog of the Independent Community of Educators, a caucus of the United Federation of Teachers
Saturday, December 15, 2007
What our leadership gave away, however, might be partially saved if you decide to file a lawsuit. Joyce Sticco and three other teachers at P.S. 345 in Brooklyn did just that…and won.
The facts of Sticco v. BOE, Supreme Court, New York County, Index 105477/2007, decided 11/28/07 are, unfortunately, all too familiar. In April 2006 Sticco was questioned by investigators from the Special Commissioner of Investigations' office (Condon's office) about allegations of inappropriate touching of female students by a fellow teacher, Gregory Michaelides. In his report Condon found that Michaelides had engaged in the conduct and that Sticco and three other teachers either witnessed or gave inconsistent or inappropriate statements about Michaelides' alleged misconduct. Condon recommended that Michaelides be terminated and that Sticco and the other teachers receive "appropriate disciplinary action."
The appropriate disciplinary action was a letter to each teachers' file indicating that they had "show[ed] a willful disregard for the welfare of children" when they failed to report Michaelides' misconduct. With no way to contest the finding or the letter the teachers started a proceeding in Supreme Court.
The Courts found that the teachers' due process rights were violated. Under New York State Education Law tenured teachers are entitled to hearings whenever the DOE contemplates disciplinary action. This law, Section 3020-a has certain procedural safeguards to make certain teachers don't get the treatment that the principal of P.S. 345 gave to Sticco and her colleagues. Disciplinary letters to the file which come after a principal's conference and without due process protection must be expunged.
The Court found that there are two types of letters to the file; those that are disciplinary and those that are critical administrative evaluations. Ever since 1981 in the Matter of Holt the Court of Appeals has held that this distinction is critical in the determination of letters which violated teacher due process and those that did not. For the last 26 years the "Holt letter," (ironically the principal in Sticco is named Wanda Holt but, it is believed, she has no relation to Jon Holt the disciplined teacher in 1981) as it became known allowed school administrators to place letters in teachers' files that were evaluations. Thus observations and "instructive" letters were ok without a full hearing. However, letters which were disciplinary in nature must be taken out of teachers' files.
At the Delegate Assembly last Wednesday Randi announced the Sticco victories but was less than enthusiastic about its implications or application to other teachers. At the Executive Board meeting last Monday a form entitled "Disciplinary Letters in the File" was distributed which recounted the 4 court cases and gave some guidance as to whether a letter was "disciplinary" and thus available to be removed by Court intervention. While the form indicates a procedure to evaluate whether particular letters are disciplinary, the form does not indicate where the letter should be sent for evaluation and possible Court action.
What's going on? School administrators have been placing disciplinary letters in teachers' files for years. Don't you think our Union should at least try to make up for giving away our grievance rights with aggressively fighting these letters in Court and telling us how to do it?

Are we going to get access to that form, incomplete as it is?

Criticism and reprimand differ
Criticism and reprimand differ
Ozol v Center Moriches UFSD, NYS Supreme Court, [Not officially reported]
Is a letter to an individual concerning his or her work performance constructive criticism or pejorative reprimand? Characterizing the letter as a "reprimand" constitutes discipline, entitling the individual to a Education Law Section 3020-a hearing or a contract disciplinary procedure. In contrast, if the letter simply contains "criticism of a teacher's performance," it may not rise to the level of formal disciplinary action and thus no disciplinary hearing would be required. How to distinguish between the two was the central issue in the Ozol case.
Center Moriches Union Free School District elementary school teacher Jean Ozol was handed a letter by the Superintendent informing her that she was being placed on a paid leave of absence until further notice and that:
1. The school district's attorney has been asked to review the information regarding an incident involving students "during which you displayed, [in the opinion of the Superintendent], conduct unbecoming a teacher" and that the "filing of Section 3020-a charges is a serious consideration at this time;" and
2. During the period of the leave of absence (a) Ozol was not to be on school grounds; and (b) Ozol was to refrain from any contact with students at the elementary school.
A copy of the letter was placed in Ozol's personnel file.
According to New York State Supreme Court Justice Oshrin's opinion, this letter and subsequent actions by the District directed towards Ozol constituted discipline. Why did the Superintendent take this action? It was in response to an incident that occurred while Ozol was teaching a fifth grade physical education class during which a student reported to class fifteen minutes late.
The Superintendent subsequently advised Ozol that "the letter should be considered a formal letter of reprimand." The Superintendent also commented that "it is my conclusion as Superintendent of Schools that your actions were inappropriate in that instance." Ozol was directed "... to refrain from any similar actions in the future." In addition, the letter "strongly urged ... [Ozol to] enroll in one or more enumerated courses, the participation in which will provide [you] with the opportunity to improve [your] classroom management skills and instructional techniques." This letter was also placed in Ozol's personnel file. Ultimately Ozol sued, contending that the letters written by the Superintendent and other actions taken against her by the District, including a temporary reassignment, violated her rights under Section 3020-a of the Education Law.
The District objected, claiming that any judicial action was premature because Ozol had not exhausted the administrative remedies available to her under the controlling Taylor Law agreement. Why? Because, the District argued, Ozol had not filed a contract grievance. In addition, the District characterized its actions as part of an "evaluation procedure" and thus not discipline within the meaning of Section 3020-a.
The Court was not persuaded by the District's claims, however. The ruling notes that (1) the Taylor Law agreement did not contain "an exclusive remedy clause that would expressly require the exhaustion of administrative remedies prior to seeking judicial review," and (2) the term grievance as used in the contract referred to the resolution of "a dispute between the parties as to the meaning, interpretation or application of the provisions of this Agreement."
The decision also notes that another relevant provision set out in the agreement. The Court said that Article 5, Paragraph 4, of the contract states that "[t]his procedure shall not be used as a method of .... circumventing provisions of State Statutes relating to tenure, retirement, compensation, or disciplinary proceedings."
The Court decided that the letters placed in Ozol's personnel file, her suspension, and her teaching reassignment constituted disciplinary action within the meaning of Section 3020-a and thus not covered by the contract's grievance procedure.
Significantly, the decision indicates that in determining whether a letter in a personnel file constitutes a reprimand, and thus requiring a hearing under Section 3020-a of the Education Law, a Court must recognize the distinction between admonitions to a teacher which are critical of performance and are in the nature of evaluations or administrative efforts to achieve improvement of performance which do not require any formal hearing, and a formal reprimand and actions of a punitive nature, denoting disciplinary action requiring a due process hearing.
Insofar as "admonitions" are concerned, Justice Oshrin said that courts have ruled that the supervisory personnel of a school district have the right, and the duty, to make administrative evaluations as an adjunct to their responsibility to supervise the faculty of the schools, citing Holt v. Board of Education, Webutuck Central School District, 52 NY2d 625.
In contrast, factors to be considered in determining whether a particular letter should be characterized as a formal reprimand rather than an admonition include whether the letter (1) is from the teacher's immediate supervisor or from the Board of Education; or (2) is directed towards an improvement of [future] performance or is a formal reprimand for prior alleged misconduct; or (3) in the nature of a performance evaluation or a castigation for misconduct.
Also of some relevance is whether the letter uses the term "reprimand" and whether the letter uses the accusatory language of formal charges in describing the teacher's conduct. In this instance, said the Court, the Superintendent advised Ozol that she was being placed on a paid leave of absence; that she has displayed conduct unbecoming a teacher; that Section 3020-a charges may be filed; and that she may not go on school grounds or contact students at the elementary school during the period of her leave.
Finally, on February 14, 1997, the Superintendent wrote a letter described as "a formal letter of reprimand," in which Ozol was chastised for her actions and was directed to refrain from similar acts in the future.
Under the circumstances, the Court said it could only conclude that the Superintendent's actions were intended to be disciplinary and punitive in nature, thus triggering the need to file formal disciplinary charges against Ozol pursuant to Section 3020-a and requiring a disciplinary hearing to be held. The Court also observed that although the other contract provisions cited by the District provide for reviewing and challenging materials placed in an individual's personnel file, there was no provision for the removal of formal letters of reprimand from such files.
Concluding that the dispute between the parties was not covered by the Taylor Law agreement, the Court ruled that Ozol was not required to exhaust the remedies provided in the agreement prior to seeking judicial relief and rejected the District's motion to dismiss Ozol's action.

I am in a quite similar situation. A few months ago, I was placed in the rubber room based on false and bogus allegation, but was sent back to the school without being charged or tried for any offense. However, the principal placed LTF and u rating based on the OSI report, which did not conclude the allegation.
About a month ago, I filed a complaint to State Division of Human Rights against DoE and the principal for their reprisal of my previous filing a charge, which is a protected activities.
Just went through the u rating hearing last week, wonder what will come out of it. Actually I challenged the DoE and principal at the u rating hearing to charge and put me on trial.
- Sunday, December 16, 2007 8:43:00 PM
Take them to court. Good luck with the case.
- Sunday, December 16, 2007 10:35:00 PM
Once a court rules, do all teachers have to sue individually or does that null and void that part of the contract?
Also, Randi is upset that a teacher had a victory? I feel so bad her feelings were hurt. How can she ever face her good friend, the mayor.
- Monday, December 17, 2007 12:48:00 AM
Randi wasn't upset. I was at the DA last week but I don't think that's what Jeff was saying. I don't see how this would null and void any part of the contract.
The DOE can still write letters. This just limits them somewhat as they should have been limited since 1981.
Each person would have to sue as far as I can see as I can't see that they would remove everyone's letters for file based on these four cases. Each case is different.
James Eterno
- Monday, December 17, 2007 4:26:00 PM
But it goes to the heart of due process. What can we all do now if we get letters in files? Randi being "less than enthusistic" was it because other teachers can't use this ruling or because she wants to keep it that way?
If she applauded the ruling for these teachers doesn't that have something to say about giving up this right in the first place?
- Monday, December 17, 2007 4:33:00 PM
She did applaud the rulings, but I think she was less than enthusiastic about its impact right now. Don't you think the DOE is going to appeal?
Further, I fully agree that we should have never ever given up the right to grieve letters in the file. This has led to open season on teachers.
James Eterno
- Monday, December 17, 2007 5:01:00 PM
Did the UFT financially support these teachers lawsuit? If not, it goes to prove that the '05 contract was totally unfair to teachers.
What else did Randi have to say about this case and its relevance to the fact that the contract does not offer the support?
- Monday, December 17, 2007 5:44:00 PM
I'm relatively sure the UFT financally supported the lawsuits.
- Monday, December 17, 2007 10:09:00 PM
I got one of these letters and asked my district rep what I should do. She knew nothing about the court cases and said she would get back to me. I am waiting.

Court directs Unsatisfactory Rating Be Removed from Teacher's Record
Print This Article
Smith v. Board of Education of the City School District of the City of New York,
Ms Eileen Smith, a Social Studies teacher at Far Rockaway High School given unsatisfactory
rating on June 24, 2004, for the 2003-2004 school year due to an incident occurred on October 21, 2003, the first day of the implementation of a new policy at school. Smith filed an Article 78 proceeding.
One minute after the late bell had rung signaling that classes had changed, teachers were required to lock their classroom doors. In Ms. Smith's class, the ones locked out banged on her door to compel the teacher to let them in. Ms. Smith then attempted to leave the room to get help, but two students in the classroom held the door closed.
Ms. Smith acknowledged having used inappropriate language during the chaotic time. Ms. Smith allegedly had said: "This 'fucking' language has to stop. I do not want abusive or profane talk in the class." Ms. Smith had also reportedly said: "I will not continue until the stupids stop," and then presumably in an effort to clarify added: "I mean the stupid remarks. I am not calling anyone stupid."
Ms Smith was found to have "committed acts which are prohibited by the Chancellor's Regulation A-420 Corporal Punishment and Chancellor's Regulation A-420 Verbal Abuse which constitutes unacceptable teacher deportment." The letter concluded that the finding "may lead to disciplinary action, including an Unsatisfactory rating and termination."
Ms. Smith filed a grievance. An arbitrator ruled that the letter should be deleted from Eileen Smith's file because it is unfair and inaccurate as these terms have been defined by the parties. Also Ms. Smith had received an "Unsatisfactory" rating and immediately appealed it. That hearing was held on May 31, 2006 before the Chancellor's designated Chairperson.
It was recommended that the appeal be denied and rating of "Unsatisfactory" be sustained. This Article 78 followed. The Court held that:
The Commissioner and the courts have held that a U-Rating cannot be sustained where, as here, the Chairperson improperly relies on documents which should have been excluded from consideration at the teacher's appeal. The A-420 (report prepared regarding alleged foul language) are not based on any personal observation by any administrator; instead, they are based solely on the hearsay statements written by the students. Thus, the A-420, by itself, cannot support the U-Rating.
Without the various documents, the only evidence left is the undisputed fact that Ms. Smith made the above-quoted statements in the midst of an extremely difficult time in class. The Chairperson's reluctance is revealed by her finding that the evidence "leaves many questions," by her emphasis on Ms. Smith's repeated calls for help.
Thus, while it may well be that Ms. Smith could have achieved her goal by using different language, it cannot reasonably be said that the language she used qualifies as prohibited verbal abuse as defined in the Regulations sufficient to support an Unsatisfactory Rating.
The Court reversed the denial of the appeal and directed that the Department remove the unsatisfactory rating from the teacher's file.

Thanks for Smith v. BOE, an interesting case. While the summary quoted is accurate it leaves out an important point. Reading Justice Schleshinger's opinion it is abuntantly clear that she relied on the fact that the letter to the file supporting the U-rating was removed by Arbitrator Scheinman at a time when letters to the file could be grieved. The fact that no administrator witnessed the incident does not, by itself, seem to be enough to reverse the U rating.

I have a letter in my file for "shouting" at a student. I was escorting my class (along with many other teachers) upstairs. When we reached the top of the stairs, the principal swung her office door open, and asked, "Was that you?" I told her that I didn't know what she was referring to and continued on my way. An hour later, her secretary was in my classroom (interrupting my lesson) with a file letter for me to sign. (I average about two letters a month; all as equally ludicrous.) I spoke to a lawyer and he said that there is no legal precedent for "petty behavior" by supervisors. Would this incident fall under "lack of due process"?

Glen Van Brummelen – Heavenly Mathematics: The Forgotten Art of Spherical Trigonometry
Shortlisted for the 2013 BSHM Neumann Book Prize, British Society for the History of Mathematics
The British Society for the History of Mathematics (BSHM) has announced the winner of the 2013 Neumann Prize. This prize, named after Oxford mathematician and past BSHM President Dr. Peter Neumann, OBE, is awarded every two years for the best mathematics book containing historical material and aimed at a non-specialist readership.
To read more about the BSHM and this award, click here.
Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia. The discipline was a mainstay of mathematics education for centuries, and it was a standard subject in high schools until the 1950s. Today, however, it is rarely taught. Heavenly Mathematics traces the rich history of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth. Glen Van Brummelen explores this exquisite branch of mathematics and its role in ancient astronomy, geography, and cartography; Islamic religious rituals; celestial navigation; polyhedra; stereographic projection; and more. He conveys the sheer beauty of spherical trigonometry, providing readers with a new appreciation for its elegant proofs and often surprising conclusions.
Heavenly Mathematics is illustrated throughout with stunning historical images and informative drawings and diagrams that have been used to teach the subject in the past. This unique compendium also features easy-to-use appendixes as well as exercises at the end of each chapter that originally appeared in textbooks from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries.
Glen Van Brummelen is coordinator of mathematics and the physical sciences at Quest University Canada and president of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics. His books include The Mathematics of the Heavens and the Earth: The Early History of Trigonometry (Princeton) and Mathematics and the Historian's Craft.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Stock futures, which gave up early gains after the European Central Bank left key policy unchanged, traded nearly flat after the jobless claims rose by slightly more than expected.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's press conference is at the center of attention at the moment, after the ECB, as expected, left interest rates unchanged. Follow the live blog here.
Investors are waiting for a report on the health of the services sector later this morning.
Futures for the S&P 500 index US:SPM4 were less than a point higher at 1,883.10, while those for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJM4 ticked up 7 points to 16,494. Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index US:NDM4 slipped 2.50 points to 3,655.75
The number of people who applied for U.S. unemployment benefits in the last week of March rose more than expected to mark the highest level in a month, the Labor Department said Thursday.
That data comes a day ahead of Friday's bigger nonfarm-payrolls data, though weekly jobless claims are no guaranteed indicator.
Separately, the U.S. trade deficit widened more than expected in February to mark a five-month high, mainly because the nation exported less petroleum, commercial jets and industrial supplies, according to government data released Thursday.
The Institute for Supply Management will release its services index for March at 10 a.m. Eastern. The index expanded at a sharply slower pace in February, dropping to 51.6% from 54% in January.
Investors may also be reflecting on comments from San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams. He told Reuters in an interview published late Wednesday that the central bank should start raising rates by the second half of 2015. However, he said it would do this only gradually, keeping "relatively low levels of interest rates for quite some time."
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.49% finished at a record on Wednesday, though gains were moderate — a rise of 5.38 points, or 0.3%, to 1,890.90. The Dow industrials US:DJM4 closed up 40.39 points, or 0.2%, 16,573.
Steen Jakobsen, chief economist at Saxo Bank, predicted in a CNBC interview on Thursday that the S&P 500 is just 9 points away from a trigger point — 1,900 — that will see it drop to 1,330, a 30% plunge. He said equities are overdue for a correction, which will happen due to lack of earnings growth, though he also said that pullback would happen later in the year.
Shares of GOOGL GOOGL, -0.72% begin trading after a 2-for-1 split in Google shares. One set of shares, called Class A, will trade under a new ticker symbol, "GOOGL." The other, Class C, will be listed under the company's historic ticker, "GOOG." GOOG, -0.71%
Perry Ellis International Inc. US:PERY swung to a loss on write-downs as sales fell 16%, as expected. In February, the apparel maker cut its full-year outlook, citing bad weather and weaker consumer spending. The company is forecast to earn 3 cents a share in the fourth quarter.
Shares of CACI International Inc. CACI, +1.60% could come under premarket pressure after it cut its earnings-per-share outlook for the year and lowered its revenue target. Shares fell 8.8% in late trading on Wednesday. Stocks to Watch: Perry Ellis, Micron, Global Payments
Shares of Plug Power Inc. PLUG, -0.36% rose nearly 5% in premarket after the company said it bought fuel-cell-technology company ReliOn Inc. for $4 million in stock.
Analysts at J.P. Morgan upgraded Monsanto Co. US:MON to overweight from neutral on Thursday, citing the possibility that activist investors could get involved with the agricultural firm. The investment bank also raised its target share price on the company to $125 from $115. Shares rose 0.8% in premarket.
In other markets, the Nikkei Average NIK, +0.16% closed up 0.8%, and the Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, -0.98% fell 0.7%. China announced pro-growth measures, which analysts dubbed 'the mini stimulus" , but markets fell back after a fresh move by China's central bank to drain liquidity. European stocks were mostly flat.
Gold prices GCM24, -0.15% eased back along with oil, while the dollar was almost flat against major currencies.
