or magic like the one in mahouka rettousei, like cocytus (mind freeze), mist dispersal, and its extension material burst
in that series magic is practically science with the use of chips, and electronics to cast magic and is different from personal reality as well, except ancient magic there is no deity, creepy ritual and the likes...the anglican church will be pulling their hairs out....

the ancient magic in mahouka is practically can be said the same as ancient magic in japan where the expertise lies in spirit or astral magic. While the modern magic or current magic in mahouka is categories in 8 changes if I remember it right. The magic in mahouka sometimes is just too.... long for explanation that you need to read it again to even understand it but its mostly scientific but has its still magic in a way that they consider magic when there are changes in reality which can be the same for esper but the term they used there is eidos. Change in eidos instead of mana.
the mystic code there or medium for magic is dub as cad where you input the formula which is like the magic circle in terms for the native occult stuff.
Mahouka is indeed a good story for magic too. My only problem there is well.... -__- the shiba siblings relation ship with imouto being over possessive. I'm not much of a fan for that particular theme though which also surprised me when I actually liked oreimo.
@ friend kaizerknight01 hahaha you also read that manga. Too bad the translation is slow but indeed that story is good. When you look at the novel. You will see lots of settings that involve there per each story of the girls/heroine. Laser gun isn't the last of sci fi weapon you will see

Crowley teaches a different style of magic that doesn't require any of the old world Deities I think. He also made huge improvements in the study of magic that wasn't seen in the centuries before.
Remember what Birdway had said about writing with your left foot? Not only is he writing with his left foot, but he has done it in a way that makes it better than those using their right hand to write.
Anyway the Magitech I'm talking about is literally using machines for magic, or have a very scientific method of casting spells. Mahouka fits this, and so does Nanoha.

Aleister uses the machines attach to him in refining his life force. Its practically the one producing his magic and prolonging his life.
Nanoha has sketchy math and just pump mana into the device and let it rip. While in mahouka you need programs for your cad to use magic.

magic formulas and magic circles with summoner, cyborg, then vampires and lots and lots more to add to it of whatever the staff behind it think they can add to nanohaverse. But really =_= its more on massive amount of magic and pump it into your device then zenryoku zenkai blast away the enemies. That's most of the thing I remember in nanoha, a's, strikers, then the 2 manga adaptation that I rarely read. though there are variation for vivid but the same can be said for force -_-
I'm not a fan of forceful power strike which is why I don't like material burst that much but Tatsuya's other spell like for destroying spell and disintegrating targets are okay for me. Huge explosions aren't really just my thing -_- they can be cuy, deflect or nullify, depending on the situation and settings.
I consider magic or ability that can read the enemies movement, predict the future, or ability to sense danger, much more appealing. And lets not talk about imagine breaker with it only effective on Touma's right hand. It can be considered hax but the same time its only on his right hand! there are lots of ways to kill him but none happens because Touma actually thinks. Even peppered by guns won't kill him easily though he admits it feels like hell when actually gotten hit by one.
A much more restricted and much more creative ability is what I like more. The type that you can play with while imagining different type of scenarios.
Its much more exciting than blasting your opponent -_-

You see, that's what I'm not sure upon - I'm not convinced that that's Idol Theory in the "Borrowing Power" aspect though, what with all the power coming from the magician.
Its more like they are using the legends as blue prints for spells.
Its not Idol Theory, its plagerism in the face of lack of imagination and a healthy dose of laziness.

That's what I'm trying to say.
The fact that these spells fail to qualify as Idol Theory under the very most basic qualification of Idol Theory - that power is borrowed from an outside source- tells me that its not Idol Theory.

To me its like imitating the higher beings and the believers believe that they can achieve the same miracle and miracle isn't handed down to anyone without doing anything to make it work or just have plain faith to make it happen.

finished the thing- complete with my embarrassing photography skills
Was a college assignment, became a personal project after I failed to finish it by the due date. 18" x 24" sheet of drawing paper, and 2B, 4B and 6B woodless graphite pencils. 1" masking tape border (became stuck to paper but was left on to make framing it easier).
I want to sell this piece, but I've come to realize I wouldn't feel comfortable letting go of it for anything less than $500- not sure how many are feelin that price, but if you want to make an offer you can always shoot me a message.
Otherwise please enjoy this dapper Alien using a human femur bone as a toothpick and drinking from a wine glass (and thats probably not wine).

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has unveiled legislation aimed at forcing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to expedite the process for coal companies seeking permits to open new mines.
McConnell told about 100 people gathered inside a mining equipment sales shop in Pikeville that he intends to file the legislation next week in response to thousands of jobs that have been lost in the Kentucky coalfields.
Some 4,000 coal miners have been idled over the past year, largely the result of market factors. But McConnell accused the EPA of worsening the situation by stonewalling the permitting process, essentially turning it into "a backdoor means to shut down coal mines permanently."
U.S. Rep. Shelly Capito, a West Virginia Republican, has said she will introduce similar legislation in the House.

One of our most popular features on dallascowboys.com is our mailbag question where fans submit their questions about the team, players, etc. and our staff writers take turns answering them. We thought it would be a cool idea to make this piece more interactive and allow fans to submit questions via Twitter with the hashtag #AskTheBoys and make it a video feature (you can check out this week's here http://bit.ly/LbEeWB). Make sure you stick with it until the end to see if Dave can flip a tractor tire.
David Helman has been gracious enough to take over this segment and answer the incoming questions for us. Unfortunately he's only able to answer three to five questions per segment. Below are some good (or not so good) questions that Dave wasn't able to get to this week.
Thanks to all of you that submitted questions via Twitter. Keep them coming! Oh, and help us out and send us some questions via the Vine app next week.

What Are Your Favorite Lactose-Free Ice Cream Recipes?
Good Questions
Q: I love ice cream. I'm also lactose-intolerant. What are some good lactose-free ice cream recipes that I can make in my ice cream maker? I particularly like recipes that use coconut milk, but I'm open to suggestions!
Sent by Lillies
Editor: Lillies, definitely check out Sara Kate's 3-ingredient ice cream recipe:
• 3-Ingredient Healthy Ice Cream
It's delicious! Readers, what else would you suggest?

Taymer Mason has some great recipes! http://caribbeanvegan.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/7-flavours-of-summer-4-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream/
I recently made coconut lime sorbet that was both creamy and refreshing. And so simple! Just light coconut milk, a bit of sugar, lime juice, lime zest and water. It was a dinner party hit.
Goat's milk ice cream is excellent and the small amount of lactose in it is generally digestible by those with lactose intolerance. Oftentimes lactose intolerance is a catch all for milk processing problems. I have an issue with casein whey found in cows milk, and goats milk gives great flavor and none of those pesky side effects like...I don't know...throwing up the delicious ice cream before it even has a time to digest.
1 ingredient frozen banana ice cream (I think its been featured here):
Slice and freeze banana's. Once fully frozen, grab about 1.5 banana's worth. Put into food processor. Process until smooth. It will first become chopped, then into a consistency that looks like a dry flour dough. Keep processing. Magically, it will be turned into smooth, creamy goodness nailing the consistency of ice cream.
During the processing, you can also add some add ins like cocoa, various nut butters, mint, honey, etc.
I use regular ice cream recipes with lactose-free whole milk and regular cream (heavy cream has very little lactose on its own), and i've never had issues.
my lactose intolerance allows me to eat cheese, but not drink regular milk or eat regular ice cream. your mileage may vary. :)
woo! Thanks everyone. I'm most certainly lactose-intolerant. I can eat cheese, but no yogurt (I make my own with lactose-free milk), cream or ice cream. Lactose is water-soluble, so the more solid the product, the better (hence why there is less lactose in cream - though still too much for me).
Keep the recipes coming! These, combined with the posts from ice cream week, will keep me happy!
Thanks again!
David Leibowitz has a fantastic chocolate-coconut sorbet in two of his books: Room for Dessert and The Perfect Scoop. Here's one adaptation from the blog Kitchen Travels:
Right! First, two disclaimers - these are technically gelatos, not ice creams, and they use a stand mixer, not an ice cream maker. They are, however, totally lactose free!
6 eggs
2 cups superfine sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
200g dark chocolate
2 cups boiling water
1. In a stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy.
2. Gradually add the oil.
3. Add the cocoa.
4. Add the hot water.
5. Add the chocolate (melted)
It should be extremely liquidy. Transfer it to a freezer-safe container, put it in the freezer, wait for it to set, and enjoy!
There's two variations, too:
Substitute ground hazelnut for cocoa powder, and a small jar of Nutella for the chocolate.
Substitute water for coconut cream (coconut milk is too thin). Don't include cocoa or chocolate - instead, include several chopped Cherry Ripes and some glace cherries. Include a small amount of coconut essence/extract. Not sure about the right amount, we just eyeballed it for this one.
Hypothetically, you could include dessicated coconut, but it turned out INCREDIBLY grainy when we did that.
...Uh, actually. I just remembered that Cherry Ripes are Australian only XD;; Okay, scrap that - include a SMALL amound of dessicated coconut, some more cherries, and... dark chocolate chips? Yeah, that should do it.
There are more variations, here - next summer, I'm going to try peppermint essence with broken-up choc-mint bars because, man, I miss it - but that's the basic recipe!
Actually @MGOODSILVER goat's milk has the same lactose content as cow's milk (~4.7%).
And @LILLIES - no yogurt? The "culture" bacteria eat and digest the lactose for you, you should be totally fine with it if your issue is indeed lactose intolerance.

I'm hoping you plan to measure luminance rather than luminosity.
You're right, I translated the word directly into English -didn't know what luminosity was, so thanks!
As for the others, thanks for the answers. I'll have a look at digikey.
Any more suggestions?

by Robert Firsching synopsis
Reminiscent of a cross between The Swinging Cheerleaders and Last House on the Left, this foul but well-made melodrama from director Koyu Ohara (Shiroi Mesuneko: Mahiru No Ecstasy) concerns three Yakuza gangsters hijacking a bus full of schoolgirls. The usual ugliness, rape, and torture ensue, until two of the resourceful victims get the obligatory "bloody revenge." One underground American video company actually released this sordid Nikkatsu film as I Spit on Your Bus, surely one of the most ludicrously opportunistic retitlings in history. Nami Misaki and Ayako Ohta co-star with Mayo Miyamoto, Miki Yamaji, and Yuichi Minato.

Mandarin Orange Sugar Cookies with Drizzled Icing
Recipe Review
It's unofficial citrus week—have you noticed a theme? (Maybe these or these will jog your memory.) Up next: these soft, orange-flavored cookies. These were supposed to be Meyer lemon, but those Meyer lemons, they're elusive. One day they're at the store; the next they've vanished. So, we subbed in some bright Mandarin oranges with lovely results.
A friend sent us this recipe because she knows we love Meyer lemons. What she may not know is that once we decide on a recipe and head off to the store, we're not so good at changing gears mid-stream. The Meyer lemons disappeared? Fine. We're not rethinking the whole dessert in the produce aisle, especially when we already have the other ingredients.
So. The mandarin oranges looked pretty and fresh, and the end result was a light, cake-like cookie with little flecks of zest. Here they are before we added the icing:
About that icing... The recipe doesn't call for it (although it's mentioned as an option), but we like the cookies better with it. The cookies alone are not too sweet, which is nice, but a little extra sugar, especially when tinted peach with Mandarin juice, was a very welcome addition.
We simply mixed the juice of one Mandarin orange with enough powdered sugar to get a thick-but-still-drizzle-able consistency.
• Meyer Lemon Sugar Cookies, at Tallgrass Kitchen
One note on the dough: It's a very soft dough, and it makes fluffy cookies. Originally we planned to roll it into a log and freeze it to make sliced cookies, but it wasn't firm enough. We ended up refrigerating it, though, so that it was easier to scoop and roll into balls before baking.

I was given a great recipe for sugared cedro while in Italy recently. The only problem is, can't find any cedro in America!!! I found several old blog posts for "Citrus" farmers (citrus is apparently another version of cedro) but then when I went to those links, they were no longer selling "citrus". Regular lemons are not going to cut it as you need the thick rind of the cedro to make a really good candy. Any ideas?
These sound wonderful! I'm going to try them this weekend with clementines.
I love the creative substitution (but a good Meyer lemon cannot be beat. They really are elusive, though...) These cookies look so good, and perfect for spring!
These do look great. I hear you on the Meyer lemons! I picked up a bag at Trader Joe's a few weeks ago and thought, "These aren't hard to find! Why is everybody making such a big deal?" I made the most awesome lemon bars with them. Then last week I planned to pick up another bag at TJ's, and: no more. :(
Despite their German name, you can't get Meyer lemons in Germany for love or money. Seville oranges: Yes, if you're lucky. Meyer lemons: no chance! I'm frustrated because this blog comes up with lots of posts and comments about them, so I would love to try.
When I was a kid, a GIANT superspecial treat was a package of those Archway frosty lemon cookies. Trust me when I say the remembered deliciousness does not sustain the test of time. Maybe this will be the perfect substitute...
These look fabulous. I think I'd prefer the lemon version, but the orange/clementine/tangerine version should be delicious too.
I'm honored you tried my recipe! The mandarin orange version sounds divine, your photos are beautiful, and I bet the icing made that cookie sing. Thank you! --Anna
i made a vegan and gluten free version of these recently myself, Orange Saffron Sugar Cookies.

This is a great, easy to put together recipe. I left out the lemon juice, the 1/4 cup water, salt and pepper. Instead, I mixed together 1 T. olive oil and a little less than 1 T. balsamic vinegar, then drizzled it over the couscous and mixed it together. I also didn't add as much cucumber because I'm not a huge fan, but that's just personal preference. I gave it 4 stars because of the changes I made. This is always a HUGE hit at parties, though!

He was taken in the seventh round, but former Tech B-back Anthony Allen is going into a pretty good situation in Baltimore. Ray Rice has the starting job, but Allen has a chance to be the backup.
Backup Willis McGahee has a $6 million base salary for 2011, which is a bit more than any team wants to be paying a backup running back. His agent has reportedly said he won't take a pay cut, which is kind of forcing the Ravens' hand. A Baltimore Sun report indicated the decision has already been made.
If McGahee is out of the picture, then that, at least at present, leaves Allen to compete with three other running backs. Combined, they have 11 NFL carries. It's certainly possible the Ravens could cut McGahee and bring him back or they could find a backup for Rice in the free agency market, whenever the lockout ends. And it also bears mention that, as a seventh-round pick, Allen isn't exactly a huge investment for the Ravens. But, they do like him (a couple quotes below) and he will

Apple announcement: iPad 4th generation, 7.9-inch iPad mini, 13.3-inch Retina MacBook Pro, uber-thin iMac, etc
If you are a fan of Apple, there was a big announcement today, Tuesday October 23 2012 at 1pm New York City time. The various technology and gadget blogs covered the event live-blogging-style including CNet and Engadget and The Verge. If you prefer remote video coverage of the event, Twit.tv has meta-coverage live and will have a post-game show during the MacBreak Weekly which will begin by 3pm New York City time. (if you missed the live Twit.tv event, look for it in their Live Specials Archives if reading at a later date).
In a reversal of recent practice, Apple decided to stream the live video of the event through Apple TV and on the Apple website [Safari browser] (via The NeXt Web)
Apple does not allow live broadcasting of their events.
Rumors before the announcement talked of an iPad Mini, a beefed up iPad 3, new computers, etc. I don't know if there will be any digital imaging products or software, or iTunes app revealed or updated.

Get Moving! Mom and Baby Exercise
Exercise for You and Baby
There are a plethora of fun exercise routines for you and your little one to enjoy together. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
- Stroller exercises: No matter how old, your baby can benefit from taking walks with you in the stroller. There are also specific stroller exercise programs, similar to aerobics, that give moms a cardiovascular workout and a muscle-toning experience all at the same time.
- Yoga: By stretching and practicing deep breathing, yoga increases your range of movement, and fosters good posture, breathing, and muscle tone—all vital for your baby's development and for you to balance your metabolism, helping you trim the waistline.
- Pilates: These exercises increase your flexibility and strength your muscles through gentle body conditioning, using your own body for resistance. Pilates is a safe way for you and your baby to exercise, enabling you to be more active. You will find relief from joint or muscle pains from proper practice. Recommended for babies age 4 months and older.
- Land and Water Aerobics: These are excellent ways for you and baby to get moving, developing bone strength, and fostering a love for physical activity. The cardiovascular workouts will also release endorphins—boosting your mood.
- Gymnastics and Dance: Simple tumbling and balance exercises combined with music and repetition come together for a stimulating experience for you to share with your baby from the very beginning. By dancing and singing along with your baby or toddler, you can achieve fitness through fun activity, rather than regular exercise routines. Over time, your child will learn how to increase his motor skills, cognitive skills, and flexibility in unique activities, creating a love for music and learning—and you benefit through cardiovascular exercise, too.
Your little one may love floating around in a specially designed "boat" while you get some great aqua exercise. Water aerobics help prevent muscle soreness, due to water's ability to decrease your body's weight.

415 Reid Hall
Minutes from the 11/16 meeting: notes submitted by Smith, Chair-Elect
Present: Pat Lane, Jeff Littlefield, Carolyn Plumb, Chancey Ringer, Nora Smith, Erika Swanson, Julie Tatarka, Jeanne Wilkinson, Donna Negaard
Absent: Adam Edelman, Betsey Pitts, Chair Emerita Filbin
The meeting was called to order at 10:03 am by Chair Wilkinson. The minutes from the 11/2 meeting were reviewed and unanimously approved.
Professional Development Work Group Update - Tatarka presented an update on the Professional Development work group meeting. Tom Calcagni will provide a general session for PEs on the MSU vision for communications, and how PEs can contribute to that vision. The session is slated for December 19 at 11am, venue to be decided. Other ideas for general sessions on professional development: public speaking (perhaps in February), essential bio-safety information, the future of higher education, Montana's economic forecast, and customized Excel training for PEs. Customized training (e.g. Excel) might be too costly for the size of the group (15) that could be accommodated.
Student Mentor Project Update - Swanson updated the PC on the potential student mentor project (spearheaded originally by Filbin). Discussion of PEs role and scope in mentoring undergraduates, and a 'navigating system' to structure such a mentoring program, ensued. Ringer suggested that PC might hone its focus on developing educational opportunities for PEs across campus specifically related to student support services across campus, and perhaps providing some workshop opportunities with emphasis on cross-college referrals and support structures. Swanson mentioned the faculty 'info fair' and the possibility of somehow dovetailing the efforts of the PC with an established event. (10:22am). Also discussed the potential for pursuing a Professional Employee Mentoring project.
Other Work Group Updates
PC Member Emeritus - PC discussed venues (coffee, lunch, pre-holiday gathering) for inviting past PC members for meaningful discussions about their experiences while on the council.
PE Categories Plumb stated three options that were entertained by the PE Categories Subcommittee for classifying professional employees: leave the classification status quo, change the representation so that it more closely resembles the proportions of professional employees or, remove all classifications. The current representation does not accurately reflect proportions of research professionals. The Professional Council seat elections create confusion among professional employees about how they believe they are classified. More input and discussion are necessary. Currently, professionals are classified by Planning & Analysis as input into Banner, via title and the area within which they work. Swanson suggested consulting the new director of HR for input regarding categorization/classification with the data PC already has: current categorization, lack of categories, current proportional make-up.
Announcements Wilkinson reported that the lunch with President Cruzado was informative, and discussions centered on communication; President Cruzado has a campus-wide deployment of information philosophy, while professionals cater to their constituent group. There is a communications chasm that includes administrators, deans, directors, department heads, VP's. Often, when policy has been created/changed by this group, e.g., campus is not informed. OSP Roundtable meetings are one venue for dissemination of that information. Pitts is following up with the Research Council about how research professionals may better communicate with one another across campus.
Wilkinson invited Senator Bob Hawks, who is on the Education Subcommittee, to the next PC meeting, December 7, 2011, with the intent to inform him about what professional employees do and how legislators may benefit from mutual interaction and collaboration with PC. During Senator Hawks' visit, Wilkinson will provide an introduction to Professional Council and highlight what professional employees do, Pitts will present professional employee impact survey results, and the video will be shown. Lane will bring refreshments. Future PC guests might include Doug Steele; new Dean of Students, Matthew Caires; a regent; a student regent.
Smith reported on the first Facilities Services (FS) forum conducted on 11/7 3:30 PM. The steam pipe damage that occurred in Montana Hall dominated the discussions. Subsequent discussions were dominated by concerns from engineering faculty. Negaard attended the second forum held on 11/10, 9:00 AM and she reported that faculty questioned why FS invoices were not descriptive. FS stated that the reason details are not printed on invoices is because the system used for billing is antiquated. A new web based system is being installed and it will show projects in real time, what each step of the project entails, progress on the project, and how much each step will cost. Regarding project rates, a survey is conducted every year to collect data on outside vendor rates vs. Facilities Services (FS) rates. The College of Business questioned if FS is a non-profit entity, there should be no profit margin and the work they do, therefore, should be discounted. FS noted that many of their employees are in unions thus, making labor charges higher. President Cruzado may form a task force to address concerns by collecting data, performing an audit, and generating a report.
Kevin Thane, Chair of ASGL, reported that President Cruzado encouraged Staff Senate to conduct an inventory of professional training activities on campus. She suggested to classified staff that they should conduct professional training once per semester.
The search committee for the VP for Administration and Finance submitted an RFP to hire a search firm.
Terry Leist formed a working group, a subgroup of Budget Council, to determine equitable allocation methods for extra tuition money. Budget Council will begin reviewing the proposal sent to the campus community in January.
Wilkinson reminded PC members to wear their name tags, as the BoR will be meeting on campus tomorrow.
As there was no other business, the meeting ended at 11:00 am.

text: Mercedes would have walked had F1 not ditched V8 engines 9 April, 2014 Thomas Weber Mercedes has revealed that it probably would have quit Formula 1 if the sport had stayed with the normally aspirated V8 engine formula beyond 2013. It was believed Renault was the major driving force behind the controversial new turbo V6 regulations, but Daimler board member Dr Thomas Weber said on Wednesday that Mercedes was also keen to see the sport drive into the future. The BBC quotes him as saying that the old V8 rules had become "hard to explain" amid the trends of downsizing and fuel efficiency within the road car market. Asked if Mercedes would have pulled out had the rules not changed, he admitted: "I think so, yeah. We had hard discussions." Weber explained that the new rules now make it easy to "clearly convince" the decision-making board that Formula 1 has become relevant and worth the investment. He said that recent comments that the rules are too complicated were "stupid", insisting that the quieter engines are simply the sound of the future. "Of course we can look if there is a little bit more [volume] possible," said Weber. "But in the meantime all the road cars are going for turbos, downsizing, so even a Porsche now sounds similar. So people learn it. That's easy." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

The San Mateo Coast Natural History Association has changed its name to the Coastside State Parks Association (CSPA) to reflect the expanded scope of its programs for local parks.
With the continued budget cuts from the state, the organization has stepped in to support activities well beyond its traditional role of funding interpretive and educational programs.
"Our new name better reflects our commitment to the parks," said Joyce Pennell, president of CSPA. "Our association is dedicated to expanding programs and access to these wonderful resources for all visitors."
Coastside State Parks Association recently provided funding for:
- a Historic Structures Report, the first step in restoring Pigeon Point Light Station
- keeping Gray Whale Cove State Beach from closure
- completing installation of the foot bridge that opened Pescadero Marsh to visitors, including more than 10,000 school children each year
"The San Mateo coast is one of the greatest resources for residents in the Bay Area and for visitors from all parts of California, the U.S. and the world," said Pennell. "We are fortunate to have 15 state parks within a short drive of major population centers with such a diverse range of attractions."
The Coastside State Parks Association, established in 1990, is an independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit that supports 15 state parks on the San Mateo County coast, between Gray Whale Cove and Año Nuevo. Membership in CSPA is open to all and members are treated to special behind-the-scenes tours and activities, discounts, and news about the coast. Opportunities are also available for qualified individuals to join the CSPA Board of Directors.
More information is available at www.CoastsideStateParks.org.

Fifth Element's battle in the Fhloston Paradise ballroom done in Lego
Created for the Northern Illinois Lego Train Club by Matt DeLenoy. I'm just in awe. It's got everything.
Luc Besson says his next film will be "The Fifth Element to the power of ten" TEN MILLION ELEMENTS?
Writer/director Luc Besson hasn't been active in a few years, so it's exciting to hear that he's working on a new project. It's also exciting that he seems to think that this new movie he's working on will be ten times as good as The Fifth Element. Because The Fifth Element was fucking good, so it's going to be hard to top it. But Besson has such an incredible body of work, there's no doubt whatever he's up to will be top notch.

The chief of D.C. Public Schools is calling for the creation of national standards for investigating cheating on exams, amid lingering scrutiny of the District's probe of potential cheating on standardized tests.
Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson told education officials at a symposium on Tuesday that, in the absence of such guidelines, the community and media would never be satisfied with her efforts to detect cheating in D.C. classrooms.
"Because there is no standard, either for identifying potential wrongdoing or for investigating once cheating is alleged, we are left with a fuzzy picture of what reliable outcomes are," Henderson said at the symposium, convened by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics.
With no benchmark for reliable outcomes, "We turn tests -- which are in place so that we can celebrate students' successes and address our areas of concern -- into games for adults," she said.
Teacher evaluations that rely on student test scores -- thus tying student performance to an adult's job security and pay grade -- have received increased attention this past year as cheating scandals have erupted nationwide. In Atlanta, teachers and principals at 44 public schools corrected students' tests to increase their scores, going so far as to hold "cheating parties" to cook the books together, according a state report.
D.C. Public Schools is being investigated by both the D.C. inspector general and the federal Education Department for potential cheating by teachers and administrators on the D.C. Comprehensive Assessment System, the city's standardized tests. A USA Today investigation published last spring pointed to unusually high levels of wrong-to-right erasures on answer sheets across the District.
Of the 18 classrooms the District asked independent test security firm Caveon to investigate in 2010, only three had confirmed or suspected cheating. The city flagged 35 classrooms to be investigated from the 2011 testing rounds, less than 1 percent of the 4,279 classrooms tested.
Did that mean that cheating was contained, as officials said, or that it wasn't being investigated thoroughly enough, as critics contended?
"Couldn't we have looked at right-to-wrong erasures in more schools? Wasn't there more that our vendor could have done to identify inconsistencies? Couldn't investigations be more thorough? Can't we release the information to the press, so that the press and the public could decide for themselves? And the answer to all of those questions is, of course, yes," Henderson said.
"But there was no reason to believe that any of these actions would have yielded more reliable results or more accurate results. It was clear to me that it was very easy for a district like ours to fall down a rabbit hole of testing investigations, only to find out that because there are no widely accepted standards, there's no agreed-upon result that would satisfy the press or public."

Fun Facts about Thanksgivukkah:
Thanksgivukkah is a pop-culture portmanteau neologism given to the convergence of the American holiday of Thanksgiving and the first day of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah on Thursday, November 28, 2013.
It is a result of a rare kink between the lunisolar Hebrew calendar (whose dates reflect both the moon phase and the time of the solar year) and the Gregorian calendar. Because the calendars are not calculated the same way, Chanukah appears at a different time each year on the Gregorian calendar.
The last time it happened was 125 years ago, in 1888. The next time will be 79,043 years from 2013, by one calculation.
The Holiday even has its own Facebook page!
Come Shop Our Newly Redesigned Website!

To Senators McCain and Graham: Senator Paul stood up and stated his case in a way that raised public awareness of the growing use (and potential mis use) of drones against Americans. He stood for over 12 hours on his principles and advocated for something he believes in. You had a pointless dinner with the President where he promised to work with you (AGAIN) and you believed him. Forgive me if I say that Ron Paul earned his paycheck this week... you just got a free meal from a man you cannot trust. Senator Paul stood up.... would you please sit back down.

Beijing Design Week is underway and we're nestled in our hutong space with a lot of green plants, cacti and postcards. Grandma's legit vintage shirt seemed like an appropriate uniform of choice the other day. I'm on the way to becoming a true Beijinger! Maybe not - I still hate queues and crowds.

A bit of a throwback from New York when I shot Lola for KNEON in a secret-esque garden wearing the best color palette i.e. color in the miniest dose. Another team was shooting in the same garden space, and the stylist was sassy and loud and was gloating about some fashion show that had taken place there the previous year that he attended. On our way out, he asked Lola: 'So did you model at that show?' Without looking at him, she replied 'Not yet.' And walked off. All the best at NYFW, my girl.

After a 21-year long distance relationship with my homecity, I am finally back. I've never lived in Beijing apart from brief family visits during summers, and I'm tired of sobbing like a creep in the back of the cab on the way to the airport with the driver worryingly checking the rear-view mirror, probably leaving Wechat messages to his bro about the emotional Asian chick in the back.
In a nutshell: THIS WEIRDO IS HOME TO STAY.

Days in NYC just walking around and finding oddities in fast food chain interiors and discussing the status of the city as 'the place to be' and chasing after natural light filters. With a bag of outfits and #goodvibez Aimee and I had a long adventurous day where we walked across Brooklyn Bridge and ended up in the west end at a granny's living room blasting hip hop music. Friends met over the internet can become life-long. We've already planned our sassy retirement together in the cafes of Paris.

Life takes on unexpected turns here in New York. It's a non-stop wave motion that crashes and refreshes and cleanses and makes you uncontrollably smile. A smile that shows all your teeth; nice and wide and Cameron-Diaz-like, just how your dentist likes it. You're crossing paths with people who you met once in Beijing. You're having a picnic with your best friend visiting from Montreal in Union Square park. You're going to see incredible live shows with a girl that has the life spirit of Carrie Bradshaw. And you're becoming sisters with the talented photographer you're living with (who happened to shoot these images) because you both have exceptional granny tendencies.
These next two months will be busy. I'm launching a couple of new projects - including my own web series called VICTOURIST ;) - and also working on KNEON with our incredible team here. Next post will be all about our office in the East Village.

While the East Village has become home, Brooklyn (especially Greenpoint and Williamsburg) has become the chill point for me.

I also had my first vespa ride (!) and definitely exceeded my squeal allowance.

Sorry for going AWOL. Finally plucking up the digital-confidence to start a Facebook page and then just dumping it unceremoniously for a week seems a beechy thing to do. But I've been settling in! In New York! I'm loving this city. It reminds me a lot of Beijing: the subway is jungle of unexplored adventures, the streets are dominated by people strutting off determinedly towards their goal (even if it is their second brunch of the day), and no one really gives a shit what others think of them. It's Grand Sass-Central Station up in here.

Time and Memory in Indigenous Amazonia
Anthropological Perspectives
moreThese groundbreaking essays by internationally renowned anthropologists advance a simple argument--that native Amazonian societies are highly dynamic. Change and transformation define the indigenous history of the Amazon from before European conquest to the present.
Based on recent ethnographic fieldwork and firsthand analysis of indigenous history, this collection examines the concepts of time and change as they played out in areas ranging from religion, cosmology, and mortuary practices to attitudes toward ethnic difference and the treatment of animals. Without imposing traditionally Western notions of what "time" and "change" mean, the collection looks at how native Amazonians experienced forms of cultural memory and at how their narratives of the past helped construct their sense of the present and, inevitably, their own identity.
The volume offers some of the most interesting and nuanced discussions to date on Amazonian conceptualizations of temporality and change .less

Founded in 2010, AccuGenomics is a North Carolina-based, privately held genetics testing company focused on providing standardized gene expression tests to accurately diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatments.
The company has two tests in development to diagnose, monitor and inform treatments of leukemia and lung cancers.
More than 44,000 patients per year will be diagnosed with leukemia each year; and recent data shows that about 21,000 will die from this blood cancer each year. In addition, more people die from lung cancer than any other cancer in the United States each year. Around 200,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer each year. More than 150,000 people will die from lung cancer each year.
Standardized BCR-ABL Molecular Diagnostics Test
The first test from AccuGenomics is for monitoring the treatment efficiency, minimal residual disease (MRD) and follow for a disease relapse in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with a BCR-ABL MBCR fusion gene event – a known fusion between oncogenes (genes that have the potential to cause cancer). When the gene encodes the protein known as P210BCR-ABL, it can lead to deregulated tyrosine kinase activity and cellular proliferation (steps that lead to the cancer cell formation).
Lung Cancer Risk Test (LCRK-AGX) 14 Gene Test
AccuGenomics is currently recruiting lung cancer patients for clinical trials of their Lung Cancer Risk Test – LCRK-AGX 14 gene test. This test is designed to identify patients at the highest risk for developing America's most common cancer. By determining risk in the early stage, the hope is to lessen this deadly cancer's impact.
A recent National Institutes of Health study found that an annual chest CT scan reduces the mortality from this cancer by more than 20 percent. AccuGenomics pointed out that screening the 7 million patients at risk for lung cancer could cost $5 billion per year.
Their aim with the LCRT-AGX 14 gene test is to offer patients a lower-cost route to determining their genetic predisposition for lung cancer so that they can be prioritized for screening.
AccuGenomics will be presenting its products and technologies at OneMedForum SF 2012, on January 9 – 12.
