This school's recent attendance is majorly down and it's obvious why: the administration. As many as eleven teachers have left just in the previous year; they were either driven from the school or asked to leave. The teachers in their place are inexperienced and confused. The students are forced to use programs that help "modernize" the priory, when really, it is a major hassle for everyone involved. The teachers form cliques and pick favorites. Way too much pressure is put on students. Overall, it is an extremely toxic and competitive place for young women.
My daughter has had the most terrible experience at the Priory. She has attended the Priory for several years, but it seems as though she got absolutely nothing out of this school. According to my daughter, the atmosphere of the school is very negative and many of the students are catty. The teachers are overall very incompetent, and my daughter does not learn as much as she wants to. There is also zero school spirit and only very few parents who are involved in school activities. The clubs and electives are very limited, and although it is a small school, there should be more choices. Please don't send your daughter here. Both my daughter and I regret choosing for her to go there.
As a graduate of Priory and a new college graduate, I can say now that attending St. Andrew s Priory was the best decision my mom ever made for me. I was a bit apprehensive about coming to the school when I first started in the 9th grade, but I can see now how much the school has helped me to become the person that I am and succeed in my college and job related experiences. Priory is a small and close-knit community that truly wants you to feel like a part of the family and succeed in all you do. In that it is such a small school, I was able to have a wide array of experiences I would not have had at a larger school I was able to be an officer of my class student council, a member of the choir, take a variety of art classes, and be on the school paddling team to name a few. In my time at Priory, I was able to get to know each one of the wonderful girls in my grade and made life long friends that I still keep in contact with and visit even when on the mainland. I know that Priory has prepared me well for life and that my Priory ohana is always there if I need them.
We highly recommend the Priory. We have one child at the Priory (now in middle school) and another who attended public school first, then went to Punahou. This wider perspective allows us to be more objective. The Priory is an excellent, nurturing school with a good blend of flexibility (electives, activities, high school program with Hawaii Pacific University) and structure (uniforms, academic rigor). Even in elementary school, there was an art teacher, a PE teacher, and a music teacher.. and of course the grade-level teachers, who teach the core subjects. This system allows the grade level teachers more time to prepare during the school day. This seems to work well for all. Positive energy and patience continues throughout the week, and avoids the cranky exhaustion by Friday that I've seen elsewhere. It also allows students to receive excellent instruction, consistency, and year-to-year progress in the specialty areas. The size, location, and parental involvement provide a sense of community. This avoids the lonely anonymity that can cause problems - and serious losses - in the teen years. Excellence in education since 1867... yes, it is a great school.
Solid is the word I use to describe the Priory. My daughter has been in the lower school going on 5 years and she has learned and grown so much in that time. I credit her teachers who have been dedicated, attentive, responsive, and supportive, and the small class size (10-13 per classroom for the young girls: what other school of Priory's caliber can match those numbers?). The small size of the school means that my daughter knows a number of girls in the upper school who have been excellent role models. I really appreciate the Priory community and think the students and their parents are wonderful. There is tremendous value to a girls school -- it is terrific that no matter what the subject, activity, or event, girls are participating and leading. I believe my daughter will graduate from Priory knowing that she can accomplish anything and thanks to Priory she will have the skills and self-confidence to do so.
Its not a secret that this school is probably the best school in the state, but that doesn't mean that it is the best for your child. I attended this school from kindergarten through middle school and i have to say the education your learn is great, but the atmosphere is so negative that its hard to get anything good out of this school. The school is full of clicks, backstabbers, and pretentious brats. It is extremely expensive to attend and not honestly worth it. It is a waste of money when you could go to a free public school and have a better time in school. The teachers are fully qualified, im not denying that, but most of them expect way more out of the students then they are probably capable of, like they are college students. And i realize that they are trying to set everyone up for college but honestly i was in middle school not military school. I really don't recommend going to this school. Save your money and just go to public school.
My daughter is a recent graduate who has gone on to a highly selective private college on the East Coast--she is thriving and doing extraordinarily well...and it is because the Priory prepared her for the challenges that awaited her in college. They say it takes a village, and at the Priory, the teachers take a personal interest in each student--that is one of the added values of a small, private, all-girls education. While tuition is a challenge, it's one of the most important investments we can make as parents--and the education these young women receive at St. Andrew's Priory is priceless.
I am a recent graduate of the Priory and it has been the most unbearable experience of my life. I am going off to college, but I know that I won't have any Priory friends to hang out/reunite with next summer. Yes, this school is good academically, but its at the cost of a social life. At the Priory, we are put in a situation where we don't have the option of choosing our friends; we are forced to hang out with the girls in our class. Most teachers are unprofessional and passive aggressive. I was humiliated and singled out in one of our class meetings by an advisor. DON'T SEND YOUR DAUGHTER HERE! It's a punishment to attend this school. Of course most parents will write wonderful reviews, but they don't know what its like to attend this school today. When I was in 2nd grade (10 years ago), I remember feeling a loving atmosphere. As the years passed, this atmosphere has vanished and has been replaced by something very different. Maybe it's just me, but I honestly hate this school and wish I could have memorable high school years. Also, the electives suck! There aren't that many to choose from and most end up being cut since not enough students sign up for it.
As much as we complained while going to the Priory, it has really made us all into fantastic women. Priory has truly empowered us and prepared us for the real world and collegiate life. I know I was able to grow into a woman who is not afraid to have her own opinions and to speak out for things I am passionate about. Priory truly has given me my best friends, friends I know I will be connected with for the rest of my life. These girls have been alongside me through think and thin; they are the girls who are going to be standing alongside me at me wedding, at my bedside when I give birth, and supportive no matter what. I cannot express in words how much Priory has shaped my life. Looking back at my time there I am truly happy that my parents chose Priory for me; I loved it there.
The Priory is the best all girls school in the state. My daughter entered as a shy, insecure young girl in the 7th grade and just graduated as a mature, articulate, intelligent and socially responsible young lady. Academics is very challenging and she had to work hard to keep up with her peers, but she did with the help of wonderful faculty and administration. I am very grateful to the Priory and firmly believe the small class size and an all-girls environment allowed my daughter to thrive. She gained confidence, found her passion and is looking forward to pursuing her dreams! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Priory, it's faculty and administration for believing in each student, challenging the students to be the best they can be, encouraging them to reach for the stars, dream big dreams and giving them the skills to achieve anything!
St. Andrew's Priory is one of the very best private schools in the nation, and certainly the best all-girls school in the state of Hawaii. Our daughter is a recent graduate who has continued to excel and thrive in the competitive college environment. We truly believe that it is because of the Priory's outstanding academic program, nurturing teachers and environment that our daughter is so well-adjusted and successful.
Our daughter is graduating in a few days, finishing many outstanding years at this wonderful school. Her teachers have been so caring and encouraging; they have challenged her to do her best. We are so very proud of our daughter, she has become an amazing and confident young woman. Sending our daughter to the Priory was the best decision we ever made for her.
I am a student who regrets each day I spent in this school. I was forced by my mother who thought I would be distracted by guys and ended up having a horrible experience in high school. In this school, you are treated 'guilty' before they find out more information about what you did. You are never asked if you did something. They always assume you did and punish you before they even find out if it's your fault. I obviously know this from experience. I did something inappropriate and got a yelling before I could defend myself, explain the circumstances, and even before they had enough evidence. And if you are proven 'innocent', which almost never happens because you get punished right then and there without explaining, their reaction is "oh...". (where's my apology??) They also don't seem to care about singling out certain people and playing favorites. The teachers also act very immaturely and talk back to the students and get in childish arguments. I hope you don't make the mistake of sending your daughter to this school.
I attended this school for many years. If you are not a conforming student who puts on a fake act to please the teachers and admin, you will be openly disfavored. The education is more than great at the sacrifice of a normal social life and friends. I graduated this school with no friends, but with many genuine, individual, outgoing, outside of school friends. The teachers publicly humiliate students they do not like, and sometimes gang up together. They do not play fair and act childish. Tuition is high, but what you do not know is students must buy their own textbooks, uniforms, and fundraise like crazy. If fundraising isn't enough, which it won't be in most cases, students pay from their own pocket.
Academically, this school is top notch. This is my daughter's 2nd year at the school and she loves the environment and the girls. I do agree with many of the posts regarding the administration. The administration would be a strong group if they were to be running a fortune 500 company, but this is a school and they are dealing with children. The compassion and the love is not there and it is completely necessary when dealing with young minds, especially those in the elementary school. I find the admin attitude to be judgmental and non-caring and my daughter comes home telling me things that were said or done, by teachers and admin, that are inappropriate (e.g. having the girls write or say things that are annoying about one another) ~ it doesn't foster a healthy environment for growing minds. The parking is HORRIBLE. Tuition should NOT be the same for all grades. My daughter is in elementary school and does not get to participate in any sports or clubs that tuition is paying for. Why should I pay for coaches when my daughter isn't eligible to play anything? Overall excellent academics and I guess that is what it is all about. Oh yah, and the club for dads ROCK!
I went here for 12 years, 1st grade through 12th grade. I owe a lot of who I am today to my experience here. Everything was exceptional from the food to the classroom, but what I'd really like to comment on are the teachers. I have bragged for years that I have never had a bad teacher. I know have been truly blessed in that regard. When I came to the Priory in first grade, I was shy and behind in reading and math. My teachers were able to see the potential in me and they never stopped pushing me and challenging me to do better. By 8th grade I was on the Honors track in both math and english. I took 3 AP exams my senior year and received college credits for each one. I don't believe that would have been possible without the continuous support of my educators. I wouldn't be who I am today with the Priory and their high standards and dedication.
My daughter has loved the past five years at this school. Even though the "new" administration for the past decade has been a disappointment, the curriculum and overall academic environment remain strong. The students benefit from seeing strong female leaders as role models. I would like to see a more current approach to leadership, teaching philosophies and openness. It all seems to hinge on the need for moderately competitive salaries for all the positions at the Priory (not just male positions).
For the most part, this school has been absolutely wonderful. The teachers have taken very good care of our daughters and helped them to build the social skills and confidence as we had hoped. Our only complaint is the administration, who is seemingly uncaring and unconcerned about the girls as well as the parents. She absolutely should not be in the lower school as she is not concerned with the needs of young girls or how to handle them. She treats parents as inferiors, whereas the teachers treat parents as partners. Any concerns expressed to admin will either be blown off or rebutted to your face. The school has strong parent involvement. Academics are challenging, and most of the teachers of the Priory help the girls to build a solid foundation of the whole self.
I was never a big fan of non-coeducational schools (although I graduated from one) but was pleasantly surprised by the Priory. Our daughter attended St. Adnrew's since Kindergarten and its fair to say that the homework seemed very accelerated and progressive (even Summer School) and we find ourselves helping her more and more, every night -- something we don't mind but well aware that there will be a point where we won't be able to help her. Regardless, we believe it is a very good school with a solid reputation and good academic standing. We have seen the recent changes in the Administration but have yet to come to an opinion, maybe hoping that these will "settle down" -- if not, then we will find another school for her. We're hoping this will not be the case and encourage the Administration to concede to changes listed by other reviewers.
Best choice we ever made was to send our daughter to St. Andrew's Priory School! She has bloomed under the excellent tutelage of the instructors and administration of this school. Highly recommend this all girls school. There is much to be said about an all girls school.

The family of a Florida A&M drum major who died a year ago after being beaten during a hazing ritual held a candlelight vigil on Monday to mark the anniversary.
Authorities have charged more than a dozen fellow band members in Robert Champion's death. Champion's family, who lives in Georgia, was recently offered a $300,000 settlement from the school. Their attorney has called the offer "substantively low."
Ten FAMU band members face felony hazing charges in the case, while two others face misdemeanor counts.
In their lawsuit, Champion's parents contend university officials didn't take action to stop hazing, though a dean proposed suspending the famed Marching 100 band just days before their son died.
At the vigil, Robert's mother, Pam Champion, said that they need to keep alive the message that hazing is wrong. She then spoke about losing her son.
"I miss my baby. I miss him. So I think of him constantly. Usually when I speak, I don't really speak about him because it's too emotional. But I will do that tonight. But I miss him so much," said Pam Champion.

It was a long time coming, but last summer people on both sides of the political aisle agreed to overhaul the federal overtime regulations. A law was enacted and new rules took effect on August 24, 2004.
Some people believe the changes will cause many employees to lose overtime pay benefits, but it remains to be seen whether this is true. One thing is clear: Federal overtime laws have changed, and employers across the nation must familiarize themselves with the new provisions and conduct internal evaluations to ensure they comply.
Companies that fail to follow this law can be investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and may be subject to large back-pay orders, double damage awards, and orders to reimburse employee legal fees. The DOL is serious about this. In fiscal year 2003, it collected more than $182 million in back wages arising from overtime and minimum-wage payment violations alone, and assessed more than $3 million in penalties.
If you are an employer, you need to be aware that the DOL has the power to take a single employee's complaint and convert it into an investigation of your entire work force. The department can force you to open your wage records for a general review that could find overtime, minimum-wage, recordkeeping, or other alleged violations. If it finds an overtime pay violation, the DOL can require back pay for the two prior years, or three years if it decides the transgression was intentional.
While hourly employees are entitled to overtime, paying workers a weekly salary does not in and of itself exempt them from overtime eligibility. As of August 2004, any employee earning less than $455 weekly is entitled to overtime pay, regardless of the type of work he performs. For any time worked beyond 40 hours in a given week (defined as a consecutive pay period of seven 24-hour days), employees must receive 11/2 times their regular pay rates. (For the purposes of calculating overtime, the hourly pay for salaried employees is determined by dividing their weekly salary by 40 hours.)
White-collar categories. Compliance is more complex when you have white-collar employees who make more than $455 per week. When it comes to these employees, the DOL focuses on three categories of workers: executive, administrative, and professional. One rule that applies to all three groups is that employees who receive a salary of more than $100,000 per year are automatically exempt from overtime. Beyond that, however, the three categories have different guidelines.
To qualify as an executive who is exempt from overtime pay, an employee must meet the following general criteria:
The DOL defines management of a business as work that includes such tasks as interviewing and training new employees; setting pay rates and work schedules; disciplining workers; reviewing employee performance; and exercising control over the purchase of materials, equipment, supplies, and the like.
In sum, executives are employees who make key decisions about a business's direction. They are generally top-level workers who exercise broad independent judgment in important areas of business operation, though they need not be in sole control of all matters.
Titles don't matter. Calling someone an executive or giving him an executive title does not make him one for purposes of overtime pay. To be an executive, the employee has to perform the kind of executive functions listed above. An employee who performs trade work or answers to a supervisor who is not at the very top of the company would not normally be considered an executive.
Administrators are also exempt from overtime pay requirements, and their duties can be said to complement those of the executives and other managers they commonly serve. To qualify for this exemption, the following must be true of an administrative worker:
Of the three major white-collar exceptions to overtime rules, the ones concerning administrative workers may be the trickiest to apply. That's because it's not always easy to determine if the employee exercises sufficient discretion on matters that "relate to" operations management.
According to the DOL, the administrator's work must be "directly related to assisting with the running or servicing" of the business. The areas of responsibility that fall under this phrase might include taxation, budgeting, quality control, and health and safety issues. The employee who deals with these issues exercises the requisite independent judgment if he compares or evaluates potential courses of conduct and makes decisions about the direction the business takes.
In the event of a dispute, the inquiry would focus on whether the employee has the authority to make decisions that significantly affect the business. To qualify for exemption from overtime pay, the administrator would have to formulate policy, carry out major assignments, or have the authority to make serious financial decisions. Workers will not fall into this category if their primary job is to follow orders from above.
Management jobs. As with other exempt white-collar workers, the analysis for managers focuses on the primary duties performed by the employee. The standard examples of exempt administrators are executive assistants and human-resource managers. In the construction world, this category of exemption might apply to production managers, project managers, and site supers. It could also apply to a bookkeeper, provided he had discretion on matters of budgeting, financing, and accounting.
Manual work. The administrative exemption probably would not apply to lead carpenters, even though they perform some supervisory duties. Trade work is a primary part of the lead carpenter's job and people who regularly do manual work are not exempt from overtime.
It's worth noting that the occasional performance of manual work would not necessarily cost someone his exempt status. For example, on smaller job sites, it's not unusual for a manager to sweep the floor or help the crew unload a truck. Doing this does not entitle him to overtime if his primary responsibility is to supervise the employees who normally do the work.
Like executives and administrators, professionals must earn a weekly salary of $455 or higher to be exempt from overtime pay rules. In addition, the employee must meet the following criteria:

User Reviews
Date Reviewed: January 29, 2013
Strengths: Superior grip on ice and snow
Super light weight for a 29e studded tire
Extremely low rolling resistance for a studded tire
Very easy to mount on Bontrager Xlite wheels
Weaknesses: The MSRP of $175 would make these super expensive.
Bottom Line:
Tires practically fell onto Bontrager Xlite wheels.
Rode 30 miles on pavement at 20 psi to seat studs as recommended by reviewers.
During break in noticed that bike rolled faster than friends bike with Kenda Karma tires did [amazing].
On hard packed snow and solid ice these tires hold like crazy! I think I can now ride the technical single tracks in NH faster in winter than in summer.
I've lost less than 10 studs after 150 miles of agressive riding.
I run these tires with tubes so I can swap them ought easily when the rocks and roots start coming through. These tires perform so well in severe icy conditions they are totaly worth the extra effort of the changeover just to make them last.

Strengths: traction, handling, stability, snow shedding, looks
Weaknesses: none so far
Bottom Line:
When I found the Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro 2.3 online, I ordered one to use as a front tire. I can sum up the performance in one word: awesome. The confidence this thing inspires is amazing. It has a tall center profile (looks like a Highroller), which helps it dig in and also shed snow. I rode in sticky, wet snow yesterday and my Nokian was caked but there was no snow in the Schwalbe's knobs. Handling wise, you can lean into corners because there are studs on the side of the profile, unlike the flatter profile skinny Nokians. I did not ride on pavement much before hitting the trails as recommended, but I've only lost one stud so far and that was because I was really laying the bike over on slushy pavement to see when traction would break free. I'm still running a 2.1 Nokian for a rear tire for now.
So I can easily recommend this tire. It's a great design and just plain works great. Curious how it would work for a rear tire.

Strengths: Wow, these things are amazing on ice and snow...they allow you to ride up tracks that are coverd in solid sheets of ice on the trails...what was previously un rideable is now a new line...cannot believe how well these things grip on ice, was riding up hill on solid ice, with no problems...brain could not quite believe it!!!
Weaknesses: well they are very heavy at almost 1000grams each, but the grip they give you more than makes up for this, also as you run them at quite a low pressure riding on tarmac is very slow... but there meant for off road so not to much of a problem...

Date Reviewed: December 14, 2009
Strengths: Amazing traction on snow/ice! Durable studs (none have pulled out after 2 years of riding to class every day)
I say that I still have 3 years of riding left before they start to wear down pretty far.
Weaknesses: These are pretty heavy. Naturally they should be, because of all the studs.. but the pros and nokians have aluminum that saves over 200 grams. Noisy on pavement, and that's true with every studded tire. The steel inserts are also rusting a little bit.
Bottom Line:
I rate these a 4 because there ARE better tires out there, but all you're paying for really is weight and some more studs that you might not even notice. I have 2 years on these tires (I ride a couple miles a day and a lot of it is on concrete) and I feel confident that these tires will last me at least 2 more years.

Date Reviewed: December 14, 2009
Strengths: These tires are amazing on ice and snow. When the trails and pavement are icy or snow packed, Ice Spikers keep traction much better than other studded knobbies that I've tried. They shed snow, so the tread doesn't pack with ice/snow. The tread pattern works in snow, rutted ice and glare.
Weaknesses: Expensive. But, so are similar tires from other companies.

Date Reviewed: January 22, 2009
Strengths: Lightweight, long lasting wears and it do what you expect - grip on ice. I've got so many falls caused by slip on ice before, how could I live without them?!
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
My friend has bought not Pro version before me so I was able to compare. Double the difference in price and quality and you get the Pro version.
Ice Spiker Pro haven't bead, so they are foldable. Rubber is felt as rubber even on a frost while on Ice Spiker rubber is felt as plastic even at a room temperature. Also there is a considerable difference in weight but the main distinction is in studs. Cheaper tires has less studs and they are made from steel. More expensive tyres have an advantage in number of studs, and they are made of silicon carbide in an aluminium cover.
I avoided rapid braking as well as my friend first 50 kilometres, but he lost 3 studs already. However I still consider Ice Spiker as a good buy and it is your decision whether to choose Ice Spiker or Ice Spiker Pro.

Bike Setup: Jamis XAM 1
Date Reviewed: January 19, 2009
Strengths: Unbelievable traction and stopping power in all conditions.
Weaknesses: Heavy and slow, but it's a winter tire not a summer race tire, so no complaints. Pricy, but they'll last for years so the value is actually good relative to a high performance summer tire.
Bottom Line:
I wasn't totally sold on the idea of winter studded tires for my mtb, but a friend convinced me I should give them a try, so I opted for the Ice Spikers (might as well go for high-end, or not go at all). My first impression after mounting them was that they were going to be slow, but that goes without saying since they are about three times heavier than the race tires I had on my XC bike. Not a bad thing, really, because the trade-off is long life.
I was blown away by the performance in all conditions. Climbing steep, boot packed single track was a breeze. In fact, trails where I encountered wheel spin when climbing in the summer, I climbed like I was on a tracked vehicle with the Ice Spikers. Not once did I spin the rear tire while climbing. Stopping power was unbelievable. On icy snowpacked roads where cars were crawling, I could approach an intersection at 'mach schnell', hit the brakes, and be at a full stop in about 15 feet. To say these tires inspire confidence would be an understatement.
I'm still trying to figure out their limits, but so far haven't dumped the bike once. The only time they haven't worked (but nothing would) is when I strayed off packed single track when in the back country, and broke through surface crust into 12' of sugary snow while climbing. I stopped dead, but simply put the bike back on the track and took off again without any drama or wheel spin.
I would recommend these tires to anyone who wants to extend their riding throughout the winter, and to whom (like me) the prospect of riding a trainer indoors is akin to Chinese water torture. They're pricy, but the longevity will ultimately make them less expensive that typical summer tires in the long run.

The only benefit I ever got from this tire was the ability to keep control when hitting frozen spots (puddles) in the trail. Other than that, I'd rather be riding a fresh set of velociraptors to plow through any snow. Why lug the extra weight and expense on the trails?
I don't recommend this product or studded tires in general unless ice abounds on your winter trails.

4 Stocks Ripping Higher on Unusual Volume
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
>>5 Huge Trades for a Volatile 2013
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.>>5 Big Stock Charts You Need to See With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today. Inteliquent (IQNT) This company is a full-scale network solutions provider, offering intelligent networking to solve challenging interconnection and interoperability issues on a global scale. This stock is trading up 7.6% to $2.96 in recent trading. Today's Range: $2.84-$3.06 52-Week Range: $2.10-$14.15 Volume: 585,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 745,328 From a technical perspective, IQNT is just starting to push back above its 50-day moving average of $2.93 here with decent volume. This stock has been uptrending strongly for the last month and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $2.10 to its recent high of $3.25. During that move, shares of IQNT have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move is quickly pushing the stock within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if IQNT manages to clear its 50-day at $2.93 and some more near-term overhead resistance at $3.25 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IQNT as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $2.62, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 745,328 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then IQNT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels $4 to $5.

Sveta Survives Opener
Published August 24, 2009 11:59
NEW HAVEN, CT, USA - Top seed Svetlana Kuznetsova barely escaped the jaws of defeat at the Pilot Pen Tennis presented by Schick on Monday, squandering a second set lead then rallying from a break down in the third to beat giant-killer Zheng Jie in a nail-biter, 61 67(5) 64.
Kuznetsova, ranked No.6 in the world and a wildcard into the draw as a late entry, was seemingly headed for a routine straight set win after building a 61 42 lead, but Zheng - who has five Top 10 wins to her name, including two over reigning world No.1s - clawed her way back into it, snatching the second set in a tie-break and building a 3-1 lead in the third. But Kuznetsova hung tough.
The other seeds in action both won too, albeit in much different fashion. No.8 seed Amélie Mauresmo recovered from an early break but wound up easing past Ai Sugiyama, 64 61, while No.5 seed Agnieszka Radwanska rallied from a break down in the third to beat Roberta Vinci, 26 62 76(5).
Other winners were Virginie Razzano, Elena Vesnina, Iveta Benesova, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and qualifiers Magdalena Rybarikova and Yanina Wickmayer. Wickmayer stopped Alisa Kleybanova, 36 61 64, days after the Russian made a scintillating run to the semifinals in Toronto.

LADYSMITH, Wis. (WSAU) - We've heard many concerns about what open pit mines can do to the environment after recent state law changes allowed Gogebic Taconite an easier path to the permitting process. Wisconsin has a mine that is a success story, both economically and environmentally.
The Flambeau Mine just south of Ladysmith began construction in the summer of 1991, and reclamation was finished by the end of 1999. The mine was just feet from the Flambeau River, and yielded copper, silver, and gold during it's time of operation.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources officials still monitor the site, and had an opportunity to show it off to their Minnesota counterparts this week. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Commissioner John Linc Stine says, "The Flambeau mine appears to be one that was closed properly and did not leave a pollution legacy, as many copper mines have."
Minnesota officials are observing mines around the country as they examine their regulations.
The Flambeau Mine is now home to nature trails, a DNR office, and the buildings have been converted to other uses. A history of the Flambeau Mine with pictures, documents, and reports is available at their website, here.

James Kennedy's appeal was rejected. The ruling affirmed the right of public access to the waterways, but Kennedy argued that because he owns the land under the river. He has the right to exclude people from wading or floating on the water. According to Montana's constitution however, water held in our state is state property and are for the people. Justices also reversed the courts ruling that limited public access to easements, used primarily for maintained.

Mack Wilds: Actor Turned Singer
Posted by Jessica Gold on 12/11 at 06:07 PM
Mack Wilds, also know as Tristan Wilds is moving his way up the R&B music ladder. This triple-treat is now focusing his attention towards a singing and production career, although he has been in the spotlight for his acting skills since about 2005. Wilds began his acting career in the N's drama mini-series, Miracle Boys and then appeared in the HBO Drama television series, The Wire in 2006. Wilds played a pre-teen student by the name of Michael Lee. A few years later, Wilds joined the cast of the CW drama series, 90210 as Dixon Wilson. The 24-year-old can also be seen in films such as: Red Tails, a film about the Tuskegee Airmen, The Secret Life of the Bees as Dakota Fanning's love interest, and an independent film called Half Nelson.
Now, Wilds' music career is alive and blossoming. He is nominated for the Best Urban Contemporary Album Grammy for his EP, New York: A Love Story, which was produced by Salaam Remi. Wild's new catchy single "Own It" has become a radio favorite and entered Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop at No. 40, according to Billboard.

Many different organisations in the Netherlands are presently engaged in digital knowledge sharing and linking it to the public platforms of other parties. During this task, they may encounter various problems. And where there are problems, there are questions...
Policy planners, domain experts, web editors, programmers and web developers... Many professions are involved in different workflows of development of knowledge networks.
Our RNA-cases provide a varied and representative selection of pressing questions regarding knowledge networks and knowledge sharing, issues for which many institutions are trying to find a solution.
In the RNA project, we experiment with a variety of solutions to these problems. We use existing technologies that link pieces of knowledge in order to make it consistently searchable without the need for setting up a completely new knowledge sharing system or the necessity for all participants to work in a uniform way.
This website is intended in the first place to provide a topographical overview of the area of digital knowledge networks (also called digital heritage in the cultural heritage sector). In doing so, we focus on reference structures such as ontologies, thesauri, taxonomies and glossaries. These constitute the main subject of the RNA project.

Tim Tebow may have found his place in New York — the goal line.
The former Florida QB ran for two touchdowns and threw for another in a four-play goal-line sequence that got the crowd at Jets training camp fired up Thursday.
On one play, Tebow took a snap from the shotgun, faked a handoff and sprinted into the end zone. Coach Rex Ryan yelled to the defense before the drills that Tebow was "live" — meaning he could be tackled if he left the pocket. Ryan said it was the first time in a practice that he made the quarterback "live," something Tebow also said he had never experienced.
Ryan was pleased with what he saw. "Obviously, Tim, this was his best day of camp," the coach said.
Starting quarterback Mark Sanchez led the first-team offense to two scores in four chances. He seems willing to step aside for Tebow as drives reach the goal line — so far.
"We've got to get it in the end zone," Sanchez said. "I don't care. Whatever we have to do … We'll drive it 99 yards and he can run it in."
What do you think about the Jets' two-quarterback plan? How do you expect the season to go for Tebow? Will he be a success or struggle?

they seem to have it figured right if Tebow can absorb the hits for a full season

As a GA fan, I spent 10 years living in St Augustine near Neese High School where Tebow went to school….in high school this kid was famous for winning. He has won at every level, including whipping our butts, and I am not surprised at anything he does. When the Director of Football operations (Denver, of course) as absolutely no respect for you, and you take his team to the playoffs, I am not surprised at him being successful in NY.

Sanchez ain't liking it. This will be fun to watch.
August 2nd, 2012

to hell with Tebow, how about Stephen Hill and his progress?
August 2nd, 2012
9:59 pm
I hope it doesn't matter to Sanchez when his TD numbers take a hit. That's when we'll really know what he thinks about it.
August 2nd, 2012
11:23 pm
How often do you think the Jets will be inside the 6 yard line? Further out and it's a passing down. Mark Sanchez will be throwing hard trying to keep Tebow on the sidelines. It will cause mistakes, force him to take chances, and harm the overall effectiveness of the offence. It looks good on the outside and makes sense on paper, but not in the real world of the NFL.
Sanchez may say, "I don't care. Whatever we have to do … We'll drive it 99 yards and he can run it in." But do you really think he doesn't care who gets to score the touchdown? Does the running back who ran the ball 60 yards down to the 2 yard line care if someone else gets to come in and run it over? Of course he does. It's the guy who actually scores the touchdown that gets all the glory, who gets his picture on the front of the sports page, who has the stats by his name.
This cannot work in the long run. Somebody, anybody, (Mike) tell me I'm wrong?

Thanks Mike! (Hi Ford!)

It WAS a good post by Just Asking. Good points.
However I think it's a good move and you at least try it. If you're a RB who takes it 60 yards down to the 2 on the drive — bulldoze in that final 2 yards when you go 9 yards from the 11. If you're Sanchez, tell your receivers — take it to the house then I throw a post and you better turn on your jets when you hit the 7 yard line. Do NOT get tackled inside the 10 yard line.
I'm not a Rex Ryan nor a TT fan (coaching or playing) but both guys have had success. Just give it a try.
Nice read, Mike Ford.

next time you want to name/location drop get your facts correct. Tebow didn't attend any high schools. He was home schooled. Florida allows home schoolers, if you will, to play sports at a high school. Nice try though!!!
August 3rd, 2012
8:48 am
Just asking: You are right. But remember Tebow took a mediocre running Team and turned them in the #1 running team in the NFL. So the running backs will like the results when Tebow takes over…I think the way its going to progess is Tebow will start coming in on goaline situations. Then he will be in on short yardage situations. So he won't just get the TDs but first downs as well. So Sanchez will also push to get first downs on 2nd down. Its going to get ugly for the Sanchize.
August 3rd, 2012
9:03 am
Chris: I'm from Jax as welll…Markie Mark was right about his most important facts. Tebow dominated high school football…he did win at every level.
August 3rd, 2012
9:06 am
Too bad Tebow didn't bring the Denver defense with him. That played into his success as much as his play.
August 3rd, 2012
10:15 am
extrapoint: Denver D ranked number 20 last year…..NY Jets ranked 5th in NFL….I think Tebow even more effective with NY
August 3rd, 2012
7:15 pm
Does anyone really think that the Jets were actually going to do anything great this year? Why the concern about how Tebow is going to throw off Mark Sanchez? The Jets were FLAT and doing nothing. Don't fool yourselves. You should be glad they have Tebow. Maybe he will keep Mark Sanchez from becoming an after thought which was what it was starting to look like he and the Jets might become.

I am a girl who loves denim. Outside of work time, I'm always in dark, well-fitted pair of jeans, even if I'm on a bike. So when I started commuting more, I didn't think twice about what I would wear for the ride. Read more…
It is a right of passage when one starts a bike ride in the rain. You are badass, clueless, and have a larger set of "balls" than your buddy that has signed up for a off-season set of computrainer classes.

My fingers were ready, pushing the Add New button within WordPress to start typing out a week in review and weekend pre-ride for two CX races this weekend.
My fingers were ready and then I received news via Capture Happy (yes, Michael your twitter handle is not perfect for this story) of the school shooting in Connecticut.
If you read this blog, I'm going to ask that you take the 5 minutes that you normally read an article from me and spend time with your family. If you don't have children, call or see your parents. My heart aches that any person, let alone a parent, would have the power to take so many innocent lives.
Sorry to disappoint but this post is not about farts. I'm a big fan of really bad puns, so the title actually refers to passing cars while on a bicycle. But, who doesn't like a good fart reference?

NCI Support Helps Researchers Recover from Hurricane Katrina
Two years ago, when Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, the whole world saw the devastation to New Orleans and the surrounding region - the submerged streets, the flooded houses, the gaping levees. Less obvious, however, was the destruction of laboratories where hundreds of researchers were carrying out investigations into cancer and other diseases.
"Right after Hurricane Katrina, NCI organized a rapid response to try to place dislocated investigators and provide disaster relief supplements to allow investigators to rebuild their labs as quickly as possible," says Stephen White of NCI's Division of Cancer Biology and the Hurricane Katrina Relief coordinator for the Institute. "This was complicated by damaged communications lines and the displacement of many researchers and their laboratory employees. But, within a couple of weeks, NCI program directors had managed to locate and contact nearly all of our grantees and offer help and support."
Some researchers were hit harder than others, depending on their location. Some institutions lost electricity and suffered structural damage; the contents of freezers and incubators were rendered unusable. Other labs were completely flooded, resulting in the loss of equipment, cell lines, tissue samples, and data. In some cases, investigators were not able to enter their labs for 3 to 6 months because of mold and other contamination left by the storm.
NCI initially asked grantees to submit brief requests for relief funds as soon as they were able to determine the extent of losses and estimate immediate needs. Relief funding supported the replacement of supplies, reagents, chemicals, assay kits, lab ware, cell lines, animals, small equipment replacement and repair, computers and software, contracts for samples and databases, and patient enrollment costs.
NCI also established a policy on how to respond to requests and allocate resources. An award of $1 million was made to the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium and distributed equally between the Tulane University and the LSU Cancer Centers to support the replacement of lost equipment. Investigators holding grants with multiple years remaining were given initial supplements to recover immediate losses to their labs and the opportunity to request project extensions at the end of their project period, if needed.
"Within 6 months after the hurricane, we had heard from and responded to nearly all of our affected investigators," continues Mr. White. "In FY06 we made 29 relief supplements to active grants totaling about $4 million. For FY06 and FY07 combined, NCI has provided 37 relief supplements totaling $4.95 million."
NCI provided relief funds to grantees at Tulane University, LSU Health Science Center, University of South Alabama, Loyola University New Orleans, and Ochsner Clinic Foundation, and awarded a supplement to a contract with the Louisiana Tumor Registry.
Several grantees moved to new institutions in other states. NCI expedited transfers to these institutions and ensured that relief funds were distributed as quickly as possible.
"It's impossible to calculate the total damage resulting from Katrina," says Mr. White. "I'd say that many investigators lost at least a full year of research. The loss of basic and clinical data was phenomenal, but most of the investigators were able to resume their work either in New Orleans or in another city. I'm glad that NCI Director Dr. John Niederhuber, the Executive Committee, and other NCI staff were able to help them to do that and continue to support the recovery effort."By Barbara Cire

in the 70s Margaret Thatcher sold off all the state owned industries, at that time there was little unemployment, the government had a lot of money because most people were working, after the sell of and the free for all jobs became scarce so no one was putting into the coffers the 1% reaped all the rewards and the 99% lost out big time, now there are millions out of work not putting into society and the government has no money because lots of people are unemployed. the UK used to be a much better place to live now it is worse than the US for money grabbing lets make more profit and pay people less money,

My four and a half year old grandson went out on the sailboat with his dad and me this weekend. There was no wind to speak of, so we motored around a bit with my grandson at the helm. I think you would agree he is a great helmsman if you had seen him. I am convinced he is a natural, and I am fairly certain this is not Skipper's (that is what he calls me) bias. He was able to hold a heading, avoid running aground, and obey the warning buoys. He even let out a "Land ho!" a few times. A true sailor!
When he was ready to return to the marina, he pointed the boat in that direction. After a moment, he turned to me and said, "Skipper, this looks tricky, I think you had better do it." Amazing perceptivity for a four and a half year old, I think. It is tricky to bring a boat into its slip in a marina. There are many factors that must be considered and he was aware that he needed more experience to be successful. Do you ever feel that way as a leader?
I have been working with leaders for over a decade, developing resources that result in skill development. I have trained, coached, written, and consulted with many developing leaders, and I believe most of them recognized that leadership is tricky. It is so tricky that a few months ago, I was asked my definition of leadership and I replied I could not provide a succinct definition. I had definitions of self-leadership, team leadership, and organizational leadership, but not a general definition that encompassed all three. These three definitions are the basis of what I have called the Trimergent Leadership® System.
Last year I began a review of the science behind our content and approach to leadership development. In that review, I was able to write a succinct definition of Trevolutionary LeadershipTM that people will be able to apply practically to self, workgroup, and organization. It brings clarity of practice to leaders. This effective leadership practice will revolutionize the way leaders lead, improving work performance. We are introducing our new leadership system, the Trevolutionary LeadershipTM System, this year. The new system builds on the previous one with greater clarity, a renewed focus on skill development, and a continued commitment to new science that supports new practices so leaders will no longer have to rely on the historical practices of scientific management.
Leadership is tricky, but with competence developed over time and through practice, it can be mastered. We are committed to developing people who lead with concepts, knowledge, and skills that yield results personally, in workgroups, and in organizations. If you are finding leadership tricky, and would like more information on how we can revolutionize your leadership practices please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
