Google Enters the Home Broadband MarketBy James Turner
February 10, 2010
In a week already full of Google announcements, another bomb was casually dropped today via Google's blog. The Borg from California announced that it was experimentally entering the Fiber to the Curb (FTTC) market, and that they planned to offer much higher speeds than current offerings (1Gb/sec) and competitive pricing. The announcement also talks about what, when you remove the marketspeak, is a commitment to net neutrality in their service. This, of course, is not surprising, given Google's strong lobbying for neutrality to the FCC and congress.

Father Time turned another page in his calendar and the New Year is upon us. I, for one, am excited—especially because we have inched that much closer to the adoption of the Common Core State Standards.
I spent a lot of time during my break thinking about the new standards. I've been re-reading them, listening and contemplating tons of commentary about them, and unpacking and re-mixing ways to approach them. And the more I dive in, and the more I reflect, and the more I internalize and absorb them, the bigger fan I am of adopting Common Core.
I could probably list twenty reasons why this is the case, but instead I'll focus right now on a lean and pertinent two:
1) The death knell for weak multiple-choice tests has been sounded.
Hooray, I say! Though I'm not sure who among us isn't happy to hear this chime begin to ring throughout the national educational kingdom.
As many of us know, NCLB brought us a plague of poor assessments (perhaps the peak of it can be found here). Over the past decade, standardized tests have become the unfortunate tail that wags the schoolhouse dog. Principals have been fired over poor test results, teachers have been publicly ostracized—and terminated—over poor test results. The resistance that has been vociferously shouting, "Your tests stink as student performance measures and are doing more harm than good!" is about to see the notch of victory etched into their collective belts.
Common Core is too complex, too rich, too demanding, and too forward thinking to be captured in a mere A, B, C, or D form of student assessment. In fact, our nation is seeing a bold new series of groups (namely, this one and this one) build better student evaluation mousetraps. Some of the ideas I've seen kicked around have me smiling at the notion that, "Hey, this ain't your momma's rote memory, lower-level Bloom's type of test anymore."
The coming assessments are going to be adaptive, multi-layered, trans-media, technology-based (of course), and far more insightful in terms of actually getting to see what a student really knows.
And yes, they are going to be much more challenging, as well. Which leads me to my second cause for celebration:
2) The overall academic challenges our students will face will be much more demanding, but more relevant as well.
Common Core will raise the bar and though there are skeptics—some of who make some credible points—on the whole, I believe that Common Core is a progression.
- Common Core puts a premium on writing...
- Common Core puts a premium on re-reading and close reading...
- Common Core recognizes the interdependent relationship between reading and writing, and focuses on students being able to read well and then write (cogently) in response to what they have read...
- Common Core places a premium on all of the aforementioned occurring in an interdisciplinary capacity—across all disciplines, across all grade levels…
…unlike any standards we've ever had.
This is "life tools beyond the K-12 classroom" stuff. After all, as so much data shows, people who read well and write well attain a sense of success in America that transcends mere income.
Highly literate people:
- Vote more.
- Are incarcerated less.
- Play a more active role in the community.
- Live longer lives.
...And so on.
See, Common Core isn't shying away from asking more from many American students than our classrooms have been traditionally asking of them. "Raising expectations" used to be an empty buzz phrase that admins would casually toss around at their cozy district offices. With Common Core, expectations have been raised. And for some folks, the actual sight of this is terrifying.
Being somewhat afraid is a good thing. In a way, American schools have become somewhat stale, and those butterflies we're feeling in our bellies are a sign that BIG CHANGE is coming. I'm not alone in thinking that the United States has become too comfortable and too filled with a sense of self-entitlement, and that this sense of national hubris could be the trigger, which precedes a great fall.
Our schools can certainly be more demanding. Common Core plans to tackle this issue head on.
Ultimately, I guess I don't really have a problem with higher expectations. However, I do have a problem with unrealistic expectations. If Common Core doesn't provide the PD and adequate resources, and instead takes a page out of NCLB's playbook and merely wants to shame teachers with dubious data without actually making a genuine effort to help them improve their craft, then this blog is going to have a different tenor a few years from now.
That's a promise.
But as the old saying goes, "Don't fall before you are pushed." We have risen to new heights before. Why pre-suppose that we aren't capable of doing it again?
Common Core, you hold the promise of a new tomorrow—and it's the time of year when thinking about new tomorrows excites me.

Something more comprehensive has to hapepn. Change needs to hapepn. Sanity needs to be restored to education. Mainly, no matter what the LAW states, if it isn't really possible to accomplish, teachers, administrators, school districts, etc. will all find a way to make it appear so on paper. It's a matter of survival. If they didn't do that, there would be total chaos. But there is still a level of chaos. Look at all the lawsuits against schools all because education has lost its sanity. I could tell you stories .

Inquest hearing into Indian nurse''s death set for May
From Aditi Khanna
London, Mar 26 (PTI) The inquest into the death of India-born nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who was found hanging after a hoax call made to a UK hospital treating Kate Middleton, reopened here today and a two-day hearing to record a cause of her death has been scheduled for May 2.
The 46-year-old mother of two had been found dead days after she forwarded a hoax call from two Australian DJs posing as the royal family to the ward where Middleton was being treated for pregnancy-related sickness.
Coroner Fiona Wilcox announced that the formal inquest proceedings will take place at the Council House Chambers in Marylebone on May 2-3.
Saldanha''s husband Benedict Barboza, 49, and their children Junal, 16, and Lisha, 14, were present at Westminister Coroner''s Court alongside Labour MP Keith Vaz, who has been supporting the Bristol-based family since the incident in December 2012.
"Today marks the beginning of the end as far as the legal process is concerned but it does not take away the terrible grief the family are still suffering," said Vaz on the court steps.
"The next few weeks are going to be very difficult for the family until May 2 when, of course, the inquest will begin. Both children have very important exams which they wish to concentrate on. These have been dreadful, dreadful weeks and months for them.
"They will never, ever come to terms with the death of Jacintha who they loved so much, but they hope this process will begin the healing process," he added.
The radio broadcaster involved in the hoax call that tricked the nurse days before she was found hanging in her nurse''s accommodation at King Edward VII''s Hospital in west London were also granted permission to be part of the inquest.
Southern Cross Media group''s lawyer Maya Sikand had applied to be a party to the proceedings, claiming her clients may be able to assist.
John Cooper, who has been representing the family pro-bono as they were denied legal aid for the case, indicated he would be asking how it was that Jacintha Saldanha came to be working effectively as a receptionist and whether that was in her contract.
The coroner said there would be four witnesses to the case including the duty nurse, whose name cannot be reported, and the hospital chief John Lofthouse.
She also indicated her hearing would be a court of inquiry to allow a cause of death to be recorded and not deal with other issues. (more) PTI AK

|What is "Tarte Tatin"?
A 'Tarte Tatin' is a tart, usually made with puff-pastry which is draped over apple halves which have been caramelised in butter and sugar, baked and turned 'the right way up' to serve. It is named after the Tatin sisters who supposedly invented it. Although Tarte Tatin is traditionally made with apples, variations with peaches, abricots or other fruit are not uncommon.

'Greatest birthday' for boy rescued from Alabama bunker by FBI
An Alabama boy is set for the "greatest" birthday of his life after being freed from a week's captivity in an underground bunker, a pastor said Tuesday.

The 5-year-old, who is recovering in hospital, turns 6 on Wednesday.

An Alabama man boarded a school bus, shot and killed the driver, took a boy hostage and was holding the child early Wednesday in an underground bunker, authorities and witnesses said.
Witnesses told WSFA, the NBC station in Montgomery, Ala., that the man was talking to authorities through a PVC pipe. The station reported that the child, age 5 or 6, was not hurt but that authorities were calling the situation delicate.

An Alabama man credits a dog and her four puppies for helping rescue a 10-year-old boy with Down syndrome who was lost in the woods for 18 hours.
"Those puppies kept him company, they kept him warm and comfortable," Jamie Swinney of Hackleburg, Ala., told NBC News on Thursday. "We don't know what would have happened to him had the puppies not been with him. And credit goes to the mother dog for leading me to the boy."

Davis, 73, said he never expected such a fight.
"Good Lord, they've raised pigs in their yard, there's horses out the road here in a corral in the city limits, they've got other gravesites here all over the place," said Davis. "And there shouldn't have been a problem."
While state health officials say family burial plots aren't uncommon in Alabama, city officials worry about the precedent set by allowing a grave on a residential lot on one of the main streets through town. They say state law gives the city some control over where people bury their loved ones and have cited concerns about long-term care, appearance, property values and the complaints of some neighbors.

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging here for a while now! Come follow me at my new blog, where I am writing things like this essay about why Taylor Swift is a magnificent supervillain waiting to happen.

I have some excellent suggestions for you at my new Tumblr.
(For those of you not around for the whole complicated story of why I'm moving my blogging operation rather than just changing my url—Repulsive Interactions was never my default so it made things confusing. I am in the process of unconfusing things. Come with me and never be confused again!)

I'm giving you gold at my new blog. GOLD.
Hey all, thought I'd remind you once again to follow me at my new Tumblr if you haven't already. I'm writing all kinds of things thereabouts.

…to follow me over at http://tessastrain.tumblr.com. Cool kids will have already noticed that I have named my new-old blog after a really excellent Stooges song and that I'm already posting about cute boys and random acts of flyness. I would offer you candy or something, but that would be a lie. So reward my honesty by following me over at the new location.
Post with 4 notes
I have been aware for some time that my web presence is kind of a mess, particularly on Tumblr. When I first joined the site, it was with the purpose of creating an essay blog about the San Fernando Valley. Which I did. Kind of. And abandoned. Kind of. (Maybe "shelved for future use" is a better way to phrase it.)
Anyway, this is by way of explaining that the whole time I've been on Tumblr, the Valley blog has been my default blog, leading to much confusion. ("Who the hell is this valblog person and why doesn't repulsiveinteractions like anything I do?!") So I'm doing some reshuffling. I'm going to move my operation to the default blog, which will now be under my name (http://tessastrain.tumblr.com—you'll notice that it's currently in transition). Follow me there if you want to keep reading the things from my brain. The Valley essays will be deleted from there and moved over to a new blog, with the same ol' url you've come to know and love, possibly to be revamped and revisited.
The upshot is that I'm going to be phasing out posts on Repulsive Interactions and encouraging you all to follow me at the new-old account. I won't be deleting this one, just no more new posts after a while, and I'll give you plenty of warnings before the move is official. #ITSAPROCESS
In the meantime, you can always follow me on Twitter where I will continue to say things, albeit in fewer characters.

Speed Racer has a posse.
I am an unabashed Speed Racer apologist. I'm hard pressed to think of another movie so gleefully over-stylized (best contender would be Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but its comparative sophistication makes it appear far more restrained). What makes Speed Racer so appealing to me is that it is the exact kind of movie that critics who used to complain about how MTV was ruining film forever were fearful all movies would become; it is the realization of their worst nightmares. No moments of stillness, no negative space, no silence, no pretensions of substance. Just aggressive whiz-bang all the time, a relic of a cinematic future that might have been, or may yet to be.

Solange Knowles—————-I Decided
Speaking of phenomenal songs/music videos by underrated Neosoul QUEENS.
It's no secret that I love Solange. She's kind of the sleeper to Beyonce's blockbuster, and they seem to have this great, non-competitive relationship where they both just do their own things and are awesome in different ways. Beyonce talks about being on the fast track to becoming a legend, and Solange likes to DJ and go on picnics.
My best friend from college and I were obsessed with this song and video when we lived together. The video especially, which was completely unrelated to the song and so imperfect in the most endearing way. One of the things I find appealing in a lot of artists is the talent for making the right mistakes, especially as they are coming into their own, and the "I Decided" video is a great example of that. Then later she did that amazing cover of "Stillness Is the Move," which really cemented my feelings toward her. To clarify, my feelings are that she is great.
Good job. You did a good job.

Next-gen YotaPhone revealed with two screens and KitKat onboard
Summary: The KitKat-powered handset will be available later this year and will come with both a full HD AMOLED screen and an e-ink display.
The second generation of the dual-screen YotaPhone will be landing later this year.
The Android handset, announced at the MWC trade show in Barcelona on Monday, has two screens: a full HD AMOLED front-facing display, and a rear-facing e-ink equivalent.
The e-ink screen shows notifications such as missed calls, emails, and social media updates. It's also a touchscreen, meaning YotaPhone users can respond to the notifications using only the second screen.
According to its manufacturer, Yota Devices, using the e-ink screen ups the device's battery life to 50 hours of reading time.
At 4.7 inches, the e-ink screen is slightly smaller than its five-inch liquid crystal counterpart. The e-ink screen's resolution is 960x540-pixel, compared to the AMOLED screen's 1920x1080.
There's also NFC, wireless charging, and a Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon chip onboard.
White and black versions of the device, powered by KitKat, will go on sale in EMEA and Russia in the fourth quarter of this year.
A US and Asia launch will follow a quarter or so later, Yota Devices said. It's expected to retail in the region of €449 unlocked, according to CNET.
The first generation of the YotaPhone was announced at last year's MWC, and went on sale in December. Those who bought the first-gen device will get a discount on its successor, Yota Devices said.
Yota Devices also announced an SDK for the device yesterday, to encourage developers to build dual-screen apps.

Onyxia. No question. It's a sleeping dragon in a cave that you have to go slay. You also have to put an epic blade in her fire breadth to create a wicked sword. Does it get any better? I think not. Another awesome thing was how well Onyxia was tied to the lore. It was a cool story and it was awesome how you could interact with her. She stands in human form next to the King of Stromwind. The quest chain to get attuned to her lair was epic as well. The last part of the quest chain where you have to escort that Alliance hero through Stromwind and then fight off waves of elite dragonkin. That was freaking epic. One of my favorite experiences in any game period. I pity the horde who never got to experience it. Even after I did the Onyxia fight for the 200th time I NEVER got sick of it. Even after I got every single drop I needed from her I still went and was pissed if I didn't get an invite. You got a really sick T2 helm and a nice bag as well. It was a quick fight that you could do before MC or BWL and the fight was fun iteself. And it inspired the funniest animated vent recording of all time. One of the funniest things I've seen in my life actually.

Kick The Habit
Written on March 3, 2011 at 7:11 am , by Fitness Magazine
Some of our beauty habits might sound innocent enough, but can really do damage over time. Here's a list of pesky habits that we should all kick:
- Hair fiddling: This one might be the hardest to break, since we don't always notice ourselves doing it. People tend to play with their hair—twisting, bending, and even breaking it—out of boredom or to just to keep our hands busy. But, this seemingly harmless habit can lead to breakage, tangles and oily strands.
- Popping pimples: We know how tempting it is to attack a blemish that's taking over our face—but doing so can cause serious scarring and even spread pimple-causing bacteria (plus oil from your fingers) around the face. Attempt to banish acne before it even forms with ZENO Hot Spot Blemish Clearing Device.
- Sleeping with makeup on: Cleansing our faces is often the first thing that falls by the wayside at the end of a busy, exhausting day. But not washing leaves pores clogged with leftover makeup, dirt and sweat—which leads to dull and break-out prone skin. Keep cleansing wipes like biodegradable Yes To Cucumbers Natural Glow Facial Towelettes on your nightstand so you never forget to wash up before you doze off.

Brush Up
Written on February 9, 2011 at 7:41 am , by Fitness Magazine
When was the last time you properly cleaned your makeup brushes?
Can't remember? Then you might be swirling bacteria and fungus on your face—ick!
Makeup brushes pick up and accumulate dead skin cells, oils, dirt and any other bacteria that's on your skin. This leads to brushes that are stiff with separated bristles, causing streaky makeup and eventually destroying your tool. Plus, touching your face with a dirty brush every day can cause clogged pores and breakouts, too. Take the time to clean yours as often as possible. The following products make it easy:
- Clinique Brush Cleanser is a great wash to remove all the grime that's accumulated, leaving a completely clean, sanitized brush.
- Bare Escentuals Quick Change Brush Cleaner is a lifesaver when you need to instantly remove pigment from your brushes. It allows you to go from one shade to another in seconds, leaving no traces of the previous color.
Remember: Clean brushes mean a clean, happy face!

My Aha Acne Moment
Written on January 28, 2011 at 1:29 pm , by Eleanor Langston
This past weekend, I visited the Mario Badescu Spa for a vitamin C facial, and I totally had an acne aha moment. For the past couple of months, I have been consistently breaking out on my neck. (Who knew this was even possible?!) The zits are often on the left side of my neck, and I originally blamed my little puppy Elvis as my acne culprit. However, as soon as my facialist saw the breakouts on my neck, she asked: "Do you sleep with your hair down?" My answer: Yes, and I often slather oil (my go-to one: Shu Uemura Essence Absolue) on my ends in order to keep them shiny and prevent split-ends. Then she asked: "Do you sleep with your head turned more to the right?" My answer: Totally, because I like to face my window. Ding, ding! Tossing my hair around was exacerbating, if not completely causing, my neck bumps. Since this visit, I've been wearing my hair up, and I've already noticed that my skin is clearer. Have any of you guys come across other habits that are skin saboteurs? I'm curious!

No-Sweat Skin Savers
Written on December 9, 2010 at 9:39 am , by Fitness Magazine
At FITNESS, we know the importance of a good workout. While the sweat may work wonders on your body, it can wreak havoc on your face, resulting in unwanted blemishes. Here, a few tips to prevent workout woes:
- Avoid contact with equipment. It's impossible to steer clear of equipment when you're at the gym, but it is possible to avoid contact with it. Before sitting or laying down on any of the machines, lay out a clean towel to use as a barrier, protecting your skin against dirt and bacteria. Don't feel like carrying around a towel with you? Wear workout clothing that covers breakout-prone parts of your body, such as the back and shoulders.
- Tie your hair. When you're working out, your scalp produces oil more quickly than usual. If your hair falls onto your face during exercise, the likelihood of a breakout increases. Prevent blemishes by keeping hair off your face and back with elastic hair ties and headbands.
- Hands off! Touching your face is the number one way of transferring bacteria onto your skin. No matter how strenuous the workout, keep sweaty hands out of your skin!
- Clean your gym bag. Let's face it: We require quite a few on-the-go supplies after a long workout. Storing your gym bag in a locker (or putting it on the locker room floor) can allow dirt and bacteria to get in, as does touching your products before washing your hands. Clean the outside of your gym bag with an antibacterial wipe or spray every couple of uses, and store makeup in Ziploc bags so it doesn't come in contact with your sweaty gym necessities.
- Choose cotton. Nylon and polyester clothing hinder the skin's ability to breathe, clogging pores and causing body breakouts. Choose cotton as your go-to material; it allows skin to breathe even during your most grueling cardio class.

Scrub Your Way to Soft Skin
Written on October 27, 2010 at 6:56 am , by Fitness Magazine
Along with the crisp air and colored leaves, autumn brings dry skin. While it's easy to moisturize your body with creamy and freshly-fragranced lotions, it's not so simple when it comes to your face. My sister Sabrina noticed her skin getting drier as the weather has become colder, leaving her face dull and her foundation flaky. She asked me what she could do to keep her face smooth throughout the season, and I told her my secret to keeping skin soft all year round: exfoliating.
Using a soft scrub in the shower removes excess dead cells and keeps flakiness at bay. For chronic dryness, it's best to use scrubs with physical exfoliators like the beads in L'Oréal Paris Go 360˚ Clean Deep Exfoliating Scrub or Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment. Also look for scrubs with fruit enzymes, like Wei East Pomegranate Buffing Beads Exfoliator.
For acne-prone skin, choose scrubs with salicylic acid, such as St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub. The salicylic acid clears breakouts, while the refreshing green tea component tackles redness and irritation.
Scrubs are not recommended for sensitive skin types, but don't worry, we've still got you covered! Try an exfoliating pad instead, like Philosophy Microdelivery Mini Peel Pads, which slough skin, tone and brighten without the harshness.
The final key to combating dry skin is to use a moisturizer with SPF. This will keep your face hydrated, makeup smooth and skin protected! What scrubs do you use to keep skin soft during the chilly months?

Favorite Find Friday: Neutrogena Deep Clean Sport
Written on October 1, 2010 at 8:58 am , by Fitness Magazine
From makeup remover to acne wash, it takes a small army of cleansers to freshen my face before bed. For years, I've been searching for a face wash that can do it all while still protecting my sensitive skin. After hearing Features Assistant Editor Sarah D'Angelo rave about Neutrogena Deep Clean Sport Facial Cleanser ($6.99, drugstores), I decided to give it a shot. The tingling wash took off grime and makeup, but wasn't harsh. Plus, it contains salicylic acid to keep blemishes at bay, and the leak-proof packaging is perfect for my gym bag. So long, three-step cleansing routine!

Beautiful but heavy
By CAT
from Saskatoon
Beautiful design as is most of what Heidi Daus has brought to TSC. This was the first piece I tried and I found it too heavy for my neck. I'm sad to return it as it is very pretty.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Stunning, Unique, Piece of Art
By RJH
from Lethbridge, Alberta
I ordered this necklace in Amethyst and waited with great anticipation for it to arrive. When it did I immediately stopped what I was doing, opened it and my jaw dropped in surprise and sheer delight and amazement at the sight of this piece of beautiful jewellery, was not disappointed. I think it is exceptional in design and colours. The next day when I was fully "made" up I tried it on with a number of different tops etc. and it looked fabulous with whatever I tried on, light colours, dark colours, jeans……I'm sorry to say that I have to send it back, one of the strands of beads broke the day I tried it on, so very sad. They do not have another in amethyst (it is the only one I REALLY want), but when Heidi is on TSC next time and if she brings it in and in that colour I will purchase it again; I still give it a 5 star rating. Things do happen, I have a few other pieces of Heidi's jewellery and know the overall quality of her work so I am willing to try again. PLEASE HEIDI and TSC BRING IT IN AGAIN.
What a statement
By Patricia
from Toronto
This necklace is a piece of art and Heidi's pieces are like no other. The amethyst is such a rich color and the sparkle is unbelievable. It honestly looks like it is worth thousands of dollars. The only reason I didn't give it a ten is because I wish he beads didn't stop and went all the way around your neck because I have ahort hair.
By Bernie
from Ottawa
I ordered this piece in the turquoise and have wore it many times already. The color is bright and bold, and certainly adds that splash of color to the black, beige, white and brown wardrobes. I will keep my eyes open for other pieces each time she is here. I own a few pieces already and expect I will own more. Thanks Hedi, love the pieces and your infectious personality which I believe comes through in each of your pieces. I so look forward to her next visits.

Ordered the turquoise, thought it'd be a chearful summer item and am glad i did! Very good value for the money. I have ordered another necklace tonite, and hope it also is great as i expect it will be!! Thankyou Heidi, enjoy your shows!!!!
By Chris
from Amherstburg, ON
I generally vary my colour choice with each showstopper. My selection this time was "AMETHYST" & I'm thrilled. The colour is deep, rich & vibrant - very regal. The colour composition of the crystals in the pendant further enhance the overall look & feel of this beautiful necklace. There is something for everyone in Heidi's varied collection & I look forward to her next visit.
Love the Turquoise!
By Belle
from Calgary
This is the first piece of jewelry I have purchased from Heidi Daus and I am impressed. This is a very elegant necklace, one I should enjoy wearing for a long time to come.

I purchased this necklace and earrings to match a ring that I bought several months ago in the pistachio colour. It makes a very expensive looking set. I have several of her pieces and look forward to when she comes to visit the Shopping Channel.
What a beauty
By DiDi

I don't usually purchase necklaces I am a ring gal. However, when I watched the broadcast and saw the show stopper, I was quite captivated and couldn't resist making the purchase. When it arrived and I opened the box, I was quite captivated by the beauty and artistry of this piece. This is my first Heidi Daus piece and it certainly will not be the last.

I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said, "No good deed goes unpunished." Well if you ask GRACE Executive Director Shonda Schaefer, she might agree.There is no argument that the "good deed" part comes from all the amazing work done by GRACE in helping individuals who are going through difficult times. However, the "good deed" I am talking about is the GRACE Gala that Schaefer has overseen, along with the incredible past event chairs, for many years. This year, right after Schaefer addressed the event's attendees and thanked them for their generosity (the good deed I am referring to), she announced that it was time for the dance. As she stepped on the dance floor and began to dance with her husband, unfortunately and truly by accident, he stepped on her toe. That alone may have just been a party faux pas, but sadly that misstep broke her toe in three places (hence the unpunished part). Now if you were there and are thinking you never noticed that Schaefer looked as if she was in pain, that is just the trooper she is. She kept on going until after the fundraiser, never missing a step. OK, too early for this pun?I can attest that Schaefer is healing quite well and was seen 10 days later at the VIP reception for the 2013 Shining Stars wearing a pair of smashing boots. OK, the boots were low heeled, but very fashionable nonetheless!Shining Stars The Arts League of Arts Council Northeast held its 2013 Shining Stars VIP reception recently and I have to say the best part of this event was seeing the amazing women chosen to receive this year's outstanding honor, as well as the staff at Macy's. First of all, applause to you, the staff at the North East Mall Macy's. This event was held in the courtyard area inside the mall just outside of the mall entrance to Macy's. Attendees at the Oct. 20 reception had to enter by way of Macy's to get to where the event was held. The staff at Macy's was spot-on perfect. One person welcomed guests at the door. After a guest entered the store, the staff person immediately called another staff person over, introducing both the staff and the guest to one another. That new staff member then walked the guest to the event destination while chatting with the guest the entire time. Granted, we are talking about a walk from one side of the store to the other. But the entire time I felt like I was the VIP guest at the Ritz Carlton. Seriously, these staff members were that warm and friendly. As for the event, I feel torn here. On one side, this event is an opportunity to applaud the 2013 Shining Star honorees and sponsors. So for that I say it is just a privilege to be in the same room with those who make such a difference in others' lives. On the other hand, the fact that the beautiful invitation stated "champagne & dessert" caused me to expect something more than what was delivered. I have attended this event in the past and it was always an elegant evening. But this time it seemed like it fell short of the expectation. On the bright side, the juried Art Awards were announced at the reception, on display and available for purchase at the Shining Stars event last Friday. Best of Show was presented to artist Jackie Railsback for "Golden Sunrise in Creede." First place went to artist Nancy Medina for "Love's Embrace White Hydrangeas," second place went to artist Cherie Giddens for "Standing in the Rain" and the People's Choice award was presented to artist Connie Nichols for "Aspen Splendor."Congratulations to the winners and honorees!

From a last-minute compromise to letting the country go over the 'fiscal cliff,' there are a range of possible outcomes as President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner continue to talk about a deal.
WASHINGTON – So now what?
The U.S. House of Representatives' rejection of a bill to raise taxes on just 0.18 percent of Americans – those making more than $1 million a year – has raised questions about the Republican-led chamber's ability to approve any plan to avert the looming "fiscal cliff."
Unless President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress can forge a deal during the Christmas and New Year's holiday season, the largest economy in the world could be thrust back into a recession because of the steep tax increases and spending cuts that are due to begin in January.
The threat of across-the-board government spending cuts and tax increases – about $600 billion worth – was intended to shock the Democratic-led White House and Senate and the Republican-led House into moving past their many differences to approve a plan that would bring tax relief to most Americans and curb runaway federal spending.
For weeks, Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, have struggled to find a compromise.
But after a glimmer of hope that a deal was close early this week, Boehner, apparently under pressure from anti-tax House Republicans aligned with the conservative Tea Party movement, pressed the pause button on negotiations. He then tried to push a backup plan through the House late on Thursday, only to see his fellow Republicans kill it.
Where do Obama and Congress go from here? Here are several possible scenarios.
Obama and Boehner go back into their secret negotiations
Before Boehner started touting his failed "Plan B" to boost taxes on those who make more than $1 million annually, he and Obama were moving closer together on a plan to raise taxes on certain high-income Americans and cut spending. They could pick up where they left off and quickly cut a deal to bridge the gap.
But a compromise with possibly $1 trillion in new taxes and $1 trillion in new, long-term spending cuts could be a tough sell for both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
Boehner would have to persuade enough Republicans on the idea of tax increases. Obama, meanwhile, would have to get Democrats in Congress to back cuts to some social safety net programs, such as Social Security pensions and Medicare and Medicaid health insurance for the elderly and poor. House Republicans appear to be the tougher sell.
A huge drop in the stock market sends a loud message to Washington politicians to stop arguing and cut a quick but meaningful deal
That is what happened in late September 2008, after Congress rejected a massive financial bailout package despite warnings by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson of an economic collapse if the bill failed.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 700 points and Congress quickly reversed course, approving the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program just days later.
The fiscal cliff may not be as dramatic a situation, but the tax increases and cuts in federal spending could deal a stiff blow to the economy.
No deal happens in the dwindling days of 2012 and the U.S. government jumps off the fiscal cliff (at least temporarily)
On Jan. 1, income taxes would go up for just about everyone. During the first week of January, Congress could scramble and get a quick deal on taxes and the $109 billion in automatic spending cuts that most lawmakers want to avoid.
Why could they reach a deal in January if they fail in December?
The reason would be that once taxes go up, it would be easier to allow a few of those increases to remain in place – mostly on the wealthy – and repeal those that would hit middle- and lower-income taxpayers.
Such a scenario would mean that no member of Congress technically would have to vote for a tax increase on anyone. Taxes would have risen automatically, and the only votes would be to decrease tax rates for most Americans back to their 2012 levels.
No deal occurs for another six weeks or so
If Congress does not raise the nation's debt limit, by mid-February the Treasury Department likely would exhaust its ability to borrow. That would put the nation at risk of defaulting on its debt.
Republicans have withheld their approval of the debt-limit increase as leverage to try to get the kind of fiscal cliff solution they want: Fewer increases in spending and taxes, and more cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
This is the strategy they employed in mid-2011 during the last fight over the debt limit, which is about $16.4 trillion.
Republicans wrung spending cuts out of Democrats in return for new borrowing authority, but paid a political price. Global financial markets were rocked by the long uncertainty brought on by the standoff in Congress, one ratings agency downgraded U.S. credit standing and Republicans saw their public approval ratings sink.
Boehner decides on a gutsy move: Call a House vote on a bill that would raise tax rates for families with net annual incomes above $250,000, exactly what Obama has sought
The plan could pass the House with strong Democratic support and some Republican votes. As soon as it passed, the House likely would leave town for the rest of the year without addressing other Obama priorities such as increasing the government's debt limit.
A partial deal is struck at any point
Congress could pass a plan that would put off most of the income tax increases that are due in January, or extend some other expiring tax breaks, namely one to prevent middle-class taxpayers from being subject to higher tax rates aimed at the wealthy under the alternative minimum tax.
Stock markets do not tank and Washington politicians conclude that the fiscal cliff is not such a bad thing
Under this scenario, Congress and the White House could continue sniping at each other throughout 2013 and 2014 as they try to revamp tax policy and impose long-term spending cuts.

Two school board members with the Susquehanna Township School District filed a lawsuit against the board and the district's superintendent.
Board members Jesse Rawls, Sr. and Mark Sussman say their First Amendment rights are being infringed and want to void the employment contract between the school board and Superintendent Susan Kegerise.
Earlier this school year, abc27 reported that the superintendent's contract includes clauses that dictate how she is to be treated by the board. Her attorney has sent letters to individual board members, demanding public retractions and apologies.
Rawls, Sr. and Sussman want the court to nullify Kegerise's contract. The suit also seeks punitive damages from Kegerise, citing First Amendment violations that constitute "reckless, wanton, intentional and/or malicious actions" on her part.

text: Virginia Republicans Kill Terry McAuliffe's First Gun Control Effort Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 20 Jan 2014 post a comment On January 16th, Republicans in the Virginia House Militia, Police and Public Safety subcommittee were able to stop new gun control measures proposed by Democrats after Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) was elected. As Breitbart News reported on January 15th, these measures included an expansion of background checks and of mental health-related gun ownership bans. Richmond's Times-Dispatch reports that a requirement that would have shut down private gun sales at gun shows and a ban "on the sale and transfer of 'high capacity' magazines" were also defeated. The ban on "high capacity" magazines was pushed by Delegate Alfonso H. Lopez (D-Arlington), who said no one needs "a hundred-round 'high capacity' magazine to kill a deer." During the gubernatorial campaign, McAuliffe pledged Colorado-like gun control if elected, so these early gun control measures won't be the last that Democrats try to push through. The Virginia Senate will consider gun control legislation next month. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins

Dear parents and students,
Thank you for your interest in the American School in London. Our community is diverse and dynamic, welcoming families every year from all over the world. We understand the challenges and opportunities of making an international move as well as the questions that arise when moving a child from a UK school to one with an American curriculum.
For families coming from American or international schools, the classrooms here will feel familiar and friendly, and you'll have the chance to see just how effectively "new kids" settle in and become "old hands." You'll also understand how lucky we are to be located in London, and why we work so hard to bring the UK's capital into our curriculum, both in and outside the classroom.
We look forward to answering your questions, helping you with your transition, talking you through the admissions process and enabling you to become better acquainted with our school and its exciting and challenging program.
