Progressive or Humanist Paradigm
I would think the brand new American school would be open year round - open from 6am until 6pm. A second characterization might be that these schools would serve children from age three months to eighteen years of age. A shocking thought to you - but if you were to do an inventory of every baby in your community and think about the needs of those babies for the next four or five years you might see that those needs might not be served in any way - they have to be served in some way - and maybe around the school. Or if you study a little more you might go back to think the school might need to serve the pregnant mother of the baby in terms of pre-natal care.
— Lamar Alexander, US Sectary of Education under President George H. W. Bush (the father), and later US Senator
Choice: If standards, tests and report cards tell parents and voters how their schools are doing, choice gives them the leverage to act. Such choices should include all schools that serve the public and are accountable to public authority, regardless of who runs them. New incentives will be provided to states and localities to adopt comprehensive choice policies, and the largest federal school aid program (Chapter 1) will be revised to ensure that federal dollars follow the child, to whatever extent state and local policies permit.
— America 2000: An Education Strategy Sourcebook; page 22
Q. Will choice apply to private schools as well as public? Will it apply to religiously affiliated schools?
A. It will apply to all schools except where the courts find a constitutional bar. The power of choice is in the parents' leverage both to change schools and to make change in the schools. The definition of "public school" should be broadened to include any school that serves the public and is held accountable by a public authority.
— America 2000: An Education Strategy Sourcebook; page 41
Q. What do you say to those who argue that school choice mainly benefits the well-to-do and the white?
A. Rich parents, white and non-white, already have school choice. They can move, or pay for private schooling. The biggest beneficiaries for new choice policies will be those who now have no alternatives. With choice they can find a better school for their children or use that leverage to improve the school their children now attend.
— America 2000: An Education Strategy Sourcebook; page 41
... despite political and education rhetoric to the contrary, most economic forecasts show that a large proportion of the jobs the modern economy is creating are low-skilled, part-time, and poorly paid. (Apple 1989).
— Michael Apple and James Beane; "Lessons from Democratic Schools;" Democratic Schools; 1995
What we are classifying is the intended behavior of students—the ways in which individuals are to act, think, or feel as the result of participating in some unit of instruction.
— Benjamin Bloom, editor; Taxonomy of Educational Objectives; Book 1: Cognitive Domain; New York: Longman; 1956.
... a large part of what we call "good teaching" is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the students' fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues.
... our concern is to indicate two things: (a) the generalization of this control to so much of the individual's behavior that he is described and characterized as a person by these pervasive controlling tendencies, and (b) the integration of these beliefs, ideas, and attitudes into a total philosophy or world view.
— Benjamin Bloom, David Krathwohl and Bertram B Masia; Taxonomy of Educational Objectives; Book 2: Affective Domain; New York: Longman; 1964.
A school district is an ecological system. Its parts are interconnected and interdependent. Systems theory makes it very clear that alterations of changes in one part of the system will have reciprocal impact on the balance of the total system.
— John Champlin; ODDM: Background and Foundation; Fountain Hills, Arizona: National Center for Outcome-Based Education; brief paper.
This community effort should be designed both to reeducate and to renorm parents and the general public ... Think of renorming the community the same way you conduct similar efforts in the school environment. Don't challenge the community, co-opt them.
— John Champlin; "Four Phases in Creating and Managing an Outcome-Based Program"; Outcomes; 1983.
Our guiding principle in the design of a choice system is this: public authority must be put to use in creating a system that is almost entirely beyond the reach of public authority.
— John Chubb and Terry Moe; Politics, Markets and America's Schools, p 218
But in a broad survey of employment needs across America, we found little evidence of a far-reaching desire for a more educated workforce.
— Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce, National Center on Education and the Economy; America's Choice: high skills or low wages!; Rochester: National Center on Education and the Economy; 1990.
We must remove the children from the crude influence of their families. We must take them over and, to speak frankly, nationalize them. From the first days of their lives they will be under the healthy influence of Communist children's nurseries and schools. There they will grow up to be real Communists.
— Congress of Communist Party educators, 1918
... education, as now conceived, leads to demonstrable changes in student behaviors, changes that can be assessed using agreed-upon standards.
— David T Conley; Roadmap to Restructuring; Eugene: ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management, University of Oregon; 1993
The argument for transformational outcomes is that specific content is only marginally relevant, that it is merely a means to an end, that students can demonstrate mastery through many different types of content knowledge, and that student learning skills and attitudes are more important.
— David T Conley; Roadmap to Restructuring; Eugene, Oregon: University of Oregon, ERIC; 1993
The children who know how to think for themselves, spoil the harmony of the collective society that is coming, where everyone would be interdependent.
Independent self-reliant people would be a counterproductive anachronism in the collective society of the future where people will be defined by their associations.
— John Dewey, 1896, educational philosopher, proponent of modern public schools.
The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom...between the rotting corpse of Christianity...and the new faith of humanism. Humanism will emerge triumphant.
—John Dunphy; The Humanist; January/February, 1983
Our challenge is to be bound not by traditions of the past but by our vision of the future as shaped by our purpose and beliefs.

The more the ignorance, the better the slave ...
— Edmund Fairfield; President, Hillsdale College; July 4, 1853
Someone is always trying to summon us back to a dead allegiance: Back to God, the simple-minded religion of an earlier day. "Back to the basics," simple-minded education. Back to simple-minded patriotism. And now we are being called back to a simple-minded "rationality" contradicted by personal experience and frontier science.
— Marilyn Ferguson; The Aquarian Conspiracy; p 128
You can only have a new society, the visionaries have said, if you change the education of the younger generation. ... Of the Aquarian Conspirators surveyed, more were involved in education than in any other single category of work. ... "The psychology of becoming has to be smuggled into the schools." ...
— Marilyn Ferguson; The Aquarian Conspiracy; p. 280-281
It may take collaborative effort between legislatures, local boards of education, and school administrators to design programs for parents who send their children to public schools. Building quality in at home is a personal social responsibility of pro-creating persons to all other Americans. ... Teachers could identify reasonable specification for parents relative to the home learning environment and certify parents who will cooperate.
— Joseph Fields; Total Quality for Schools; A Suggestion for American Education Milwaukee: ASQC Quality Press; 1993 (ASQC became ASQ)
Consider too the parent as "vendor" of a precious resource, the child. In the internal customer concept, the parent is serving the teacher. Teachers could identify reasonable specifications for parents relative to the home learning environment and certify parents who will cooperate.
— Joseph Fields; Total Quality for Schools; A Suggestion for American Education Milwaukee: ASQC Quality Press; 1993
Citizens would no more be allowed to put obstacles in the way of public educators than to interfere with public medical, police, or fire protection personnel who are doing their duty.
— Joseph Fields; Total Quality for Schools; A Suggestion for American Education Milwaukee: ASQC Quality Press; 1993
Some to be sure, like to think they can have it both ways; i.e., can obtain aid without saddling themselves with unacceptable forms of regulation. But most acknowledge the general applicability of the old adage that he who pays the piper calls the tune, and are more or less resigned to amalgamating or choosing between assistance and autonomy.
— Chester E Finn, Jr; NASSP Bulletin, March, 1982, "Public Service, Public Support, Public Accountability", p 69
Ultimately, the educational plans that are pursued need to be orchestrated across various interest groups of the society so that they can, taken together, help the society to achieve its larger goals. Individual profiles must be considered in the light of goals pursued by the wider society; and sometimes, in fact, individuals with gifts in certain directions must nonetheless be guided along other, less favored paths, simply because the needs of the culture are particularly urgent in that realm at that time.
— Howard Gardner; Frames of Mind; The Theory of Multiple Intelligences; page 392
Parents and the general public must be reached ... Otherwise, children and youth enrolled in globally oriented programs may find themselves in conflict with values assumed in the home. And then the education system ... comes under scrutiny ...
— John Goodlad; preface to Schooling in a Global Age; James Becker
... the computer has the capability to act as if it were the ten top psychologists working with one student ... Won't it be wonderful when ... no one can get between that child and that curriculum?
— Dustin Heuston; World Institute for Computer-Assisted Teaching (WICAT); Utah
To succeed in high performance work organizations, today's students must master the new basic skills — teamwork, critical thinking, making decisions, communication, adapting to change and understanding whole systems.
— High Skills, High Wages; Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board; Washington State; 1994; p 65
Give me the children, I will give you a nation.
— Adolf Hitler, 1939
...employer beliefs about the superior capabilities of educated people turned out not to be confirmed in practice: educated employees have higher turn-over rates, lower job satisfaction, and poorer promotion records than less educated employees.
— David Hornbeck and Lester Salomon; Human Capital and America's Future; 1991
The very magnitude of the power over men's minds that a highly centralized and government dominated system of education places in the hands of authorities ought to make one hesitate before accepting it too readily...the more highly one rates the power that education can have over men's minds, the more convinced one should be of the danger of placing this power in the hands of any single authority.
— F.A. Hayek; The Constitution of Liberty; 1960
When you walk in the building, there's a row of offices. In one are drug counselors. One is for social security. Another, family and child psychologists. Yet another has a doctor and nurse who do well-child exams ...
... There's a child-care center, and tied into it are classes for teenagers where they learn the importance of child nurturing skills ...
... These are "community learning centers" not just schools ...
... Schools are no longer in the "schooling business," but rather in "human resource development" ...
— Dr Shirley McCune; "Blueprint given for schools of the future"; Terry Minteer, Bremerton Sun; October 14, 1989
The synthesis of technology with educational tasks opens new possibilities for more humanistic schools and educational system.
— Dr Shirley McCune; Guide to Strategic Planning for Educators; p 23
Children belong to everyone. Society must make a commitment and assume the responsibility of preparing children for the future.
— Dr Shirley McCune; Guide to Strategic Planning for Educators; p 63
We no longer see the teaching of facts and information as the primary function of education... Building a new kind of people must be a part of the curriculum... More and more schools are the center of all human resource development... The earlier we can intervene in the lives of people the more effective we can be.
Some people say we are spending more on schools and getting less. I disagree - what we are doing is taking on more and more in schools and that will continue. We are not only feeding kids at lunch, we are supplying more psychological services. We are providing special ed services. More and more school is the cog or center of all human resource development.
— Dr. Shirley McCune; Governor's Conference on Education; Wichita, Kansas; 1989
The present "traditional" concept of literacy has to do with the ability to read and write. But ... do we really want to teach people to do a lot of sums or write ... when they have a five-dollar hand-held calculator or a word processor? ... Do we really have to have everybody literate—writing and reading in the traditional sense ... ?
— Anthony Oettinger; Professor; Harvard University; as quoted in Chronology of Education
Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our Founding Fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well - by creating the international child of the future.
— Chester M. Pierce; Professor of Education and Psychiatry; Harvard
The primary purpose of education is to prepare students to flourish in a democratic society and to work successfully in a global economy.

Most youth still hold the same values of their parents and if we don't resocialize, our system will decay.

Rather than adding my voice to those who urge us to go 'back to basics' I would argue that we need to move ahead to the new basics...the arts of compromise and reconciliation, of consensus building, and of planning for interdependence, a command of these talents becomes 'basic'...As young people mature, we must help them develop the global servant concept in which we will educate our young for planetary service and eventually, for some form of world citizenship.
— Harold Shane; American's Next 25 Years: Some Implications for Education; Phi Delta Kappa; September 1976. At this time, Shane was Project Director for the NEA Bicentennial Committee.
We do not need any more preaching about right or wrong. The old "thou shall nots" simply are not relevant. Values clarification is a method for teachers to change the values of children without getting caught.
— Dr. Sidney Simon, Lecturer, Educator
Teachers must guide students toward a new morality. The strict adherence to a code - a moral code - is out of date.
— Theodore Sizer
Many companies have moved operations to places with cheap, relatively poorly educated labor. What may be crucial, they say, is the dependability of a labor force and how well it can be managed and trained—not its general educational level, although a small cadre of highly educated creative people is essential to innovation and growth. Ending discrimination and changing values are probably more important than reading and moving low-income families into the middle class.
— Thomas B Sticht, president and senior scientist, Applied Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, Inc; member of SCANS; Oct 23, 1989
In a slave state, vocational training may be education enough. For the education of free men, much more is required.
— William Pearson Tolley, Chancelor of Syracuse University; 1943
Since the real purpose of education is not to have the instructor perform certain activities but to bring about significant changes in the students' patterns of behavior, it becomes important to recognize that any statement of the objectives … should be a statement of changes to take place in the student.
— Ralph Tyler; Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction; Chicago: University of Chicago Press; 1949
Our education system must provide intellectual, emotional, and job skills that prepare students to face the ambiguities of constant change in an evolving democracy.
— Washington State Comprehensive Plan for the Improvement of Student Learning; Washington Goals 2000; April, 1996 Draft; Page 2
Among the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further the Cultural Revolution are...[a] National Department of Education...the studies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of religious, patriotic, and other features of the bourgeois ideology. The students will be taught the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, internationalism and the general ethics of the new Socialist society.
— William Z. Foster, Toward Soviet American, 1932
Traditional or Christian Paradigm
Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
— Henry Brooks Adams, (1838-1918), Pulitzer prize-winning historian, 1919
To educate a man is to unfit him to be a slave.
— Frederick Douglass; [Frederick Baily] (1818-1895), escaped slave, Abolitionist, author, editor of the North Star and later the New National Era
The most effectual means of preventing the perversion of power into tyranny are to illuminate ... the minds of the people at large, and more especially, to give them knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that they may ... know ambition under all it shapes, and ... exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes.
— Thomas Jefferson; 1779
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
— Thomas Jefferson, 1816
A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
— James Madison, (1751-1836), in a letter to W. T. Barry, August 4, 1822
Some of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
— Will Rogers, (1879 - 1935), American humorist
Nothing will more quickly destroy independent Christian schools than state aid; their freedom and independence will soon be compromised, and before long their faith.
— George Bernard Shaw of The Socialist Fabian Society of England

"As you know, this winter has been especially harsh, which has resulted in nine days of absences due to the inclement weather...," said Dawson County School Superintendent Keith Porter in a letter addressed to parents dated Feb. 21. "The difficult situation with missed days is made worse due to the fact that we started the year two days short of a full student calendar due to budget."
Dawson County teachers may be spending more days in class next school year.
Dawson County School Superintendent announced just before 2 p.m. today that schools are canceled for students and staff on Wednesday.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC)—A married couple with a history of domestic disputes was found dead inside a car Sunday night in what police are calling a murder-suicide.
Around 9:15 p.m. on Jan. 12, Chesterfield Police responded to the 12000 block of Mason Avenue for a report of a shooting. Officers found 39-year-old Nequia S. Davidson and her husband, 38-year-old Terrell D. Davidson, suffering from gunshot wounds. Both died at the scene in what appeared to be a domestic-related murder-suicide.
The Davidsons resided on the 8200 block of Seaview Drive. According to Chesterfield Police, the evidence suggests that Terrell Davidson killed his wife before turning the gun on himself.
Before Sunday's fatal incident, the couple had had three other domestic fights. Just days before on Friday, Jan. 10, a Preliminary Protective Order was filed on behalf of Nequia Davidson against her husband. According to Chesterfield Police, the protective order was violated before they could arrest Terrell Davidson.
"The evidence indicates that he forced her off the road into a ditch, and the vehicles were side by side," said Chris Hensley of the Chesterfield Police Department.
Police say Terrell Davidson then got out of his car and gunned down his wife.
"Our dispatch received a 911 call from Terrell Davidson, our suspect, stating that he had shot and killed his wife," Hensley said.
Terrell Davidson told dispatchers he planned to take his own life.
"Officers had obtained warrants for him and were actively searching for him, but did not know his exact location," Hensley said.
An ABC 8 News crew stopped by the address listed on the Preliminary Protective Order and spoke with a woman who identified herself as the couple's daughter. She did not wish to speak on camera.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Chesterfield County Police Department at 804-748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.

Saint Etienne's 1991 debut Fox Base Alpha should, in theory, be a tough work to update, partly because it's an album utterly of its time – "to the sound of the World of Twist, you leant over and gave me a kiss," coos Sarah Cracknell – and partly because on it, Saint Etienne created a world entirely their own: house tracks named after old Donovan lyrics, Dusty Springfield samples alongside 70s reggae rhythms and contributions from Harvey Williams of none-more-indie band Another Sunny Day. But Richard X, the producer charged with this update, shares the band's omnivorous musical appetites, and love of pop. His remixes pull songs that previously existed in a beatific, stoned fug into sharper focus – She's the One becomes a propulsive Northern Soul stomp – and spring unexpected surprises: there aren't many songs that can claim to have been vastly improved by the addition of a children's choir, but that's precisely what happens to Like the Swallow. The end result is as good as the original, which makes it close to perfect.

Virtually even in chips after a long three-handed and heads-up battle, the cards broke Roy's way in a crucial hand to cripple Lefrancois and catapult Roy on to take down the title and $779,710.
On the penultimate hand, the two friends got it in with Lefrancois' 6-6 slightly ahead of Roy's KQ but a Q on the turn changed everything.
No help came for Lefrancois on the river and with just one big blind left he was finished off on the next hand. The WSOP bracelet winner still took home $470,920 for his runner-up finish.
Roy, along with the $779k and WPT silver belt, also scooped a $25k seat in the WPT Championship at Bellagio in Vegas in May and eternal bragging rights in the local poker community.
Gross, Smith Fall Just Short
The two marquee names coming into the final table – at least for non-Quebecers - were American Jeff Gross and popular Canadian poker veteran Gavin Smith.
Gross, whose best pal Michael Phelps made a surprise trip up to Montreal to rail his final-table efforts, came in neck-and-neck for the chip lead but couldn't catch cards when he needed them to finish things off.
A brutal runner-runner flush from Lefrancois that clipped his flopped set of fours was the crippling blow three-handed and Gross eventually exited in third for $319,238.
Smith, who came into the final table with a ton of experience but as the short stack, played his stack well to move up to fourth place and a $212,937 payday.
Chip leader heading into the final table, Sylvain Siebert, crashed out early in fifth place. He doubled up Lefrancois on just hand #4 to put himself under pressure and eventually dropped the last of his chips on hand #32.
He fared better than fellow final-tablist Peter Kaemmerlen, however, who hit the bricks on the very first hand of the final table.
A record-setting 1,173 runners hit the felt in Montreal to set a new mark for a Canadian WPT event and balloon the total prize pool up to $3,387,930.00.
Official WPT Montreal final-table results and payouts below:
- 1. Jonathan Roy - $779,710
- 2. Pascal Lefrancois - $470,920
- 3. Jeff Gross - $317,450
- 4. Gavin Smith - $211,745
- 5. Sylvain Siebert - $146,360
- 6. Peter Kaemmerlen - $113,155
Check the WPT Live Updates here for a complete recap of all the final-table action.
The next stop on the WPT is already underway with Day 1a complete at WPT Mazagan in Casablance, Morocco. WPT Prague will follow shortly after, beginning Dec. 3.

Tesco trials drive-thru grocery
Tesco is launching the nation's first drive-thru supermarket service today (23 August) to help its customers manage their time.
The supermarket is targeting customers that are too busy to visit the supermarket or wait for online grocery orders to be delivered.
The "click and collect" service means that customers can order their grocery shopping online as usual and select a convenient two-hour collection slot to pick it up at the supermarket.
Tesco says it will make grocery shopping easier for families that want to avoid "the challenge of shopping in a busy store with children in tow" and young professionals who don't have time to wait for delivery to arrive.
The trial launches at Tesco's Baldock Extra store in Hertfordshire and may be rolled out and become a permanent service if the trial is a success.
A localised direct marketing campaign will promote the service to local shoppers.
Tesco says customers do not even need to get out of their car as staff will pack the groceries into the car-boot at the dedicated collection area.
The drive-thru service costs a flat £2 fee and operates under the same policies as Tesco's home delivery service.
Laura Wade-Gery, CEO of Tesco.com and Tesco Direct, says: "They can collect their shop on their way home from work or at any other time that suits them during our extensive collection hours.'
YouGov Insight:
· While 45% of British adults attribute Tesco's success to its cheap, varied food choices and ability to create jobs wherever it goes, 43% feel that it is 'too powerful'.
· Despite the view held by many that Tesco is 'unfair' – by pricing smaller opposition out of the market – YouGov SixthSense research reveals that 60% of UK consumers still shop at local stores at least once a week.
· YouGov SixthSense records an equal appeal for Tesco among socio-demographic groups
· Usage penetration is strongest in the North (41%) and weakest in London (24%)
· Homebase trails with 21% of shoppers saying they have bought gardening equipment, plants or garden furniture there in the past 6 months.

An absolutely brilliant idea and a very welcome service in my opinion. I've dreamt of a supermarket being able to do this and thank goodness Tesco are leading the way. Come on Boots - you're on my wish list too!!
It is a good idea. It was a good idea in 2005 when Raley's introduced it in Northern California, and it is still a good idea.
This sounds more like laziness than lack of time - Where will this stop?. Obesity springs to mind people won't be needing to do any exercise at all before long as we won't need to get out of our sofas/car for anything... except for moving ourselves between the two maybe!
I hate grocery shopping but I still don't think I could ever bring myself to use a drive thru grocery store...
On the contrary, I would much rather spend an hour in the gym then collect my already-packed groceries on the way home than spend an hour in the supermarket gathering the weekly shop and queuing at the till. A great idea, please bring it to the North West.
think it's a good idea that i hope to see used as lot as then not only will there be a more convenient way to shop with tesco but also hopefully less queues i can see myself using this service if it comes local to me.
Really brilliant idea and saves people a lot of time - you can order on your lunch break and collect after work. I don't think it is down to laziness at all. Just lack of time.
What a fab idea - I hate waiting in for deliveries and being able to pop in on the way home really appeals! As a working mum with 2 small children time is very precious.
Strange how we are heading back towards victorian shopping habits.....
I think this is a fantastic idea! I def don't think it is lazy, but working 9-5 all week and then trying to go grocery shopping on the way home to then go home and start to cook is not great.
Of course there is always the weekend, but not only is it busier, but it is a rubbish way to spend your hard earned time off!
Shop online on your lunch and collect on the way home - Brilliant!
Fantastic! especially in the school hols as theres nothing worst than dragging two children out to do the weekly food shop. They hate it and so do I with kids in tow :-)
It would be really good if they could offer to do this for xmas deliveries that they may have to cancel because of the snow.
I thought about this idea a few years ago as it annoyed me with having to fight my way through the supermarket after a long hard day's work. To be able to shop online and then drive to the store at a time convenient to me would be great. I know that they provide a delivery service, but i don't want to wait in for a delivery as i am too busy. Well done and hope you roll it out across Wales.

TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings
That went well, I'd say. Detroit dominted early and often to win 7-2. Some amazing passes out there tonight and a milestone night for Nyquist.Jump for the recap: By default, all of my statements tonight can be followed by "but it was Columbus."The power play was the best it has looked all year. Great passes by everyone, great looks at the net, some posts and some great plays. The PK was pretty good, too.Conklin played well enough. Columbus didn't have many chances, but pre-GR Conklin would have given up 5 tonight, so we're getting somewhere.As the game went on I was mostly worried about injuries happening as Columbus threw tantrums. As far as I know the Wings avoided the injury bug tonight. We'll keep you posted.NOHS Three Stars of the Game:First Star: Hank. Amazing passes tonight and a bunch of points!Second Star: Bert. 4 assists. He didn't have the best passes tonight, but he made smart plays which is a nice change. I like this type of Bert.Third...

Howdy all,
Right, we have an old RM 2.4 system with the email server on (IMail). In the users "mywork\appdata" folders used to be contained their mailboxes and their addressbooks.
County have just moved the email server to our secondary CC3 server. Included in this was the moving on the mailboxes and supposedly the addressbooks as well. The addressbooks just DONT work though, and their solution has been to 'reset everyones profile'. They tried to do the migration with a vbs that copied everything accross and that got fouled up by something so then they XCopy'd all the mailboxes accross (works!) and then the addressbooks. But they're either blank or come up with errors about not being able to open the addressbooks or "Outlook express is incorrectly configured". Does anyone have any idea how I can mass-migrate everyones books accross, or if its even possible?! They did mention importing them from the WAB's on the old server but A: That'd take an age. B: It errors on my bosses account with "An Error Occured In The Import Process. The Import Process Could Not Be Completed". Arrrggg Its driving me spare, yet the whiplash from teachers with "WELL HOW CAN I EMAIL ANYONE NOW?" is one to be avoided :S
Thanks Muchly

Q&A: How bad are products that contain salicylic acid while pregnant?
I am 10 weeks pregnant and have been using two different topical face gels that contains salicylic acid (0.5% and 1%). I just discovered that these products are not supposed to be used during pregnancy, and am trying to determine how large the risk I've imposed on my baby might be. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Probably no risk, although now you can't go wrong stopping these creams altogether. Let your doctor know, but I doubt this will raise any significant worries in him or her.

By Ben Fox Rubin
Next week will be particularly sparse when it comes to earnings reports amid the shorter Fourth of July week. With earnings still slow, the main item of interest will be the monthly employment report to be released Friday.
Markets will be closed on Independence Day.
Constellation to Report Following Grupo Modelo Deal
Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ) became the largest supplier of wine, beer and spirits in the U.S. in May, after completing a $4.75 billion deal to buy out Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo SAB de CV's (GPMCY, GMODELO.MX) half of Crown Imports LLC, their joint venture that supplies Corona and Modelo beers to the U.S., and additional Grupo Modelo assets.
Constellation, which produces Svedka vodka and Robert Mondavi wine, now plans to use its expanded size to boost distribution as domestic retailers look to stock more alcoholic products.
Still, since the latest quarter ended in May--around the time the deal closed--Constellation isn't expected to report a big bump in results from the acquisition until the following quarter.
The company will report its latest results on Tuesday, with analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expecting it to post a 1% rise in per-share earnings and a 6% increase in revenue.
Others Reporting Earnings
There are just a few other notable companies reporting next week, including railroad-equipment company Greenbrier Cos. Inc. (GBX), plastic-compounds maker A. Schulman Inc. (SHLM), commercial cleaning products provider Zep Inc. (ZEP) and racetrack operator International Speedway Corp. (ISCA, ISCB).
Employment Data Coming Friday
Investors and economy-watchers will have many reports to digest in the upcoming week.
The main course will be the payrolls report, which has been a focus not just for what it says about the state of the economy but also for what it suggests about future Federal Reserve policy decisions. Stronger job growth would probably nudge the Fed closer to tapering its bond-buying program.
Economists don't think "stronger" will describe the June employment numbers, which should allay fears of a Fed pullback. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect nonfarm payrolls grew by 155,000 slots in June, less than the 175,000 slots added in May.
The June unemployment rate is forecast to fall to 7.5% from 7.6% in May.
Another June datapoint will be vehicle sales. Automakers will report sales Tuesday. Economists forecast car-buying picked up to an annual rate of 15.5 million from 15.3 million in May.
MF Global, J.P. Morgan Seek Approval of Settlement
MF Global Inc. next week will ask a federal judge to approve a settlement under which J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) has agreed to reimburse $100 million to the failed brokerage's customers.
As part of the settlement, which was announced in March, J.P. Morgan also agreed to release the liens locking up $417 million in funds it had previously returned to MF Global.
J.P. Morgan faced litigation related to its role as the agent for MF Global's lenders as well as one of the brokerage's main clearing banks. The bank was also home to many of the segregated accounts of MF Global's customers, which were notably found to be missing customer funds upon the brokerage's collapse in 2011.

Quorum Court Approves Sale of Land for Medical Office BuildingJuly 21st, 2009 by Joe Burgess
Attorney Cliff Gibson draws a rough diagram of the location of the medical office building during his presentation. According to Gibson, the medical office building will be located on Old Warren Road between Scogin and Ross Drive.Â
During its regular session July 20 the Drew County Quorum Court approved a resolution and two orders to sell surplus county land in the Medical Complex area for the construction of a new medical office building.
Attorney Cliff Gibson presented the Board of Governor's Certificate Resolution, the Order of Sale Real Property to Doctors and the Order of Timber Sale for the court's consideration. Gibson provided the court with information on the project, including proposed restrictions on the use of the property.
According to Gibson, the restrictions will help ensure that the project will not present any competition for Drew Memorial Hospital. Judge Damon Lampkin said, the hospital's architects and the doctors' architects are working together to make sure the medical office building is mutually beneficial for both parties.
Quorum Court member Renee Knowles asked if the purchase of new technology outlined in the resolution would cause future competition between the medical office and the hospital. Drew Memorial Hospital Board Chairman Jim Searcy said, as long as the technology costs range in the million of dollars, it's not going to lead to competition. He said, the resolution will protect the technology the hospital currently has.
Gibson also said the resolution includes provisions that will allow both parties to make adjustments to the resolution in the future. He provided the diagrams for the property for the county clerk to keep on file, but informed the court that the package was missing an attachment pertaining to the legal description of the property.
He said the survey of the land is not complete, so they do not have specific measurements for the property. Gibson said they hope to have it completed in the next two or three days, and he said the description of the land will be attached to the judge's order.
The second order pertains to the reservation of all timber on the property. Gibson said they will leave some trees for aesthetic purposes, but most timber on the property will be sold.
Gibson said the DMH Board of Governors passed the resolution unanimously, 7 to 0. According to Gibson, the county judge will have to decide whether to sale the surplus county property, and the Quorum Court is asked to provide advice and consent. Once the court approves the orders from the judge, then the assessor can complete the appraisal. After the appraisal of the property, they will open the bidding process.
Next on the agenda, Shelia Lampkin presented Ordinance 2009-9 for Preserved America Community Designation for Drew County. According to Mrs. Lampkin, the program is aimed at preserving historic sites. The program began in 2003 and eventually became a permanent program under the Obama administration.
In order to qualify, Lampkin said the county must show proof of historical assets and that the county has attempted to use those assets. According to Lampkin, the Arkansas agent for the Preserved America Community program said Drew County would qualify.
Lampkin said the program does not cost anything and it would benefit the community in several ways, including making it eligible for grant opportunities. The county would not be responsible for applying for the grants, though any grants would have to be filed through the judge's office. All grants through the program are match grants and can be matched with funds or labor.
Lampkin said the grant opportunities could help with the Ridgeway Project and restoring the south side of the square, among other things. She also said the county could benefit from tourism if it becomes a Preserved America community. Lampkin said the economic impact of heritage tourism totals around $5 million for the state.
"Drew County has a lot of historic sites that could attract visitors," Lampkin said.
According to Lampkin, Arkansas is currently home to 16 Preserved America communities, including cities, counties and neighborhoods. The Quorum Court approved the proposal to apply for Drew County to become a Preserved America Community.
During the Hospital Report, CEO Michael Layfield reported a $40,000 loss for the month of June. According to Layfield, this June has been the weakest in two years. Despite the loss, the hospital reported a $313,000 gain for the first quarter. Though July has also been a slow month so far, it is up about 10 percent over last month.
Layfield reported that the Board of Governors is working on Phase I of the master site plan for the hospital. Phase I includes the addition of an allied health building. Layfield said he hopes to bring a proposal to the court in a couple of months.
In other hospital news, Layfield said they still have not received news on the $6 million stimulus funds, and they may make another trip to the governor's office in the near future.
In other business:
- Shirley Hancock reported a gain for the general sales tax and the special road tax. According to Hancock, the road tax gained almost $47,000 over last year as of June. Judge Lampkin said, "We are doing good compared to several counties and cities around the state."
- Attorney Gibson presented Ordinance 2009-7 for Creating the Official Position of County Jail Doctor. Gibson recommended the court approve the ordinance due to the increasing lawsuits being filed. According to Gibson, lawsuits in the state penitentiary system have become almost routine. By instituting an official position for the jail doctor, which is an appointed position, the ordinance would provide immunity against these kinds of lawsuits. The county jail doctor is currently facing a lawsuit for violating civil rights, though Gibson said there were no allegations of medical malpractice. The court approved the ordinance.
- Member Ron Echols requested that the court review providing base salary raises for the deputy clerks and jailers. Member Jimmy Potter said the court already approved raises. County Clerk Lyna Gulledge said the court did approve a 3 percent raise across the board. Judge Lampkin asked the Gulledge to collect some information on the issue for the next Quorum Court session.

Ive been weighing my food for nearly a year now, and always functioned off the standard 4oz of boneless skinless chicken breast is about 110cals. This is presumed raw. There is a lot of discussion out there about whether it should be weighed raw or after cooking. Obviously the logic is that there are more calories per oz AFTER cooking due to the water/fat etc being cooked out.
This is where it seems to get dicey.
Ive been experimenting with my chicken lately and cant seem to resolve how many cals per oz I should be documenting. Ive gone through all the major nutrition sites, and they all have about the same info as long as you clearly select cooked, method, and raw. Say today for example. I take two unsalted, unseasoned, etc. chicken breast that weigh 5.3oz and 6.9oz respectively.
Based on averages from all the cal counting websites for boneless skinless breast raw v cooked:
5.3oz raw = 121 calories.
6.9oz raw = 158 calories.
5.2oz grilled = 238 calories
5.6oz grilled = 257 calories
Now as I mentioned, most people say to go by raw numbers. Obviously after the chicken cooks, the cals will be more dense as the moisture etc. is eliminated. Logic would tell me to use the numbers after cooking for calorie counting, as that is what you ACTUALLY consume. But that would mean a 121 calorie piece of chicken (per the nutrition label) has magically turned into a 238 calorie piece. Thats nearly doubled in value for a single piece!
I know some may say Im overthinking this, but when you consume lots of chicken over the day/week/month etc. the cal difference may very well end up in lbs of difference in lost vs gained etc. Using the above numbers, imagine you at 4x4oz servings a day for the week.
If you went by the raw numbers, you would have eaten 112oz that week and thus 12320 calories.
If you went by cooked numbers, you would have eaten 112 oz that week and thus 20496 calories.
Thats a 8176 calorie difference.
So where does this leave me? I have no clue. What do those of you who weigh & log your calorie intake at log your chicken breasts at? Whats your reasoning? Did I miss anything in my logic above that would make for an obvious clarification?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte Bobcats acquired Josh McRoberts from the Orlando Magic on Thursday in exchange for Hakim Warrick in a trade involving two backup veteran forwards.
The 6-foot-10 McRoberts, who played at Duke, has appeared in 41 games this season with three starts and is averaging 3.9 points and 3.7 rebounds.
Warrick, in his eighth NBA season, was acquired earlier this season in a trade with the New Orleans Hornets. Since joining the Bobcats he has averaged 6.9 points per game and 3.2 rebounds, but has played in only one of the team's last 11 games.
The Bobcats were unable to unload veteran guard Ben Gordon, who is due $13 million under next year's salary cap. Gordon and first-year coach Mike Dunlap have clashed at times this season.
"Josh McRoberts is a quality young big man who can play either post position for us," said Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins. "We look forward to adding his size and energy to our rotation."
Currently in his sixth NBA season, the McRoberts has career averages of 4.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists, along with a career field goal percentage of .496 in 246 games played for the Trail Blazers, Pacers, Lakers and Magic.
Earlier this season he posted career highs of 14 rebounds on Nov. 25 against Boston and eight assists on Jan. 7 at Portland.
McRoberts was originally selected with the 37th overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft by the Trail Blazers after two years at Duke, where he was a teammate of Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson during the 2006-07 season.
He had his best overall season in 2010-11, when he averaged career highs of 7.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 22.2 minutes in 72 games played for the Pacers, including 51 starts.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

What sources do you get good statistics from?
Hans Rosling Tweeted a site which I really liked: http://www.peoplemov.in/#t_SE
And then I came to think about his extraordinary website http://www.gapminder.org/
And in Sweden we have the Statistics Sweden http://www.scb.se/default____2154.aspx
So, what sources do you use for good statistics? And could you provide a link?
Topics: statistics
Jul 26 2011: - Wikipedia has good stats
- Wolfram alpha can produce some good data (http://www.wolframalpha.com/)
- World health organisation bundles data from across the globe. http://www.who.int/research/en/ This is often quite accurate (though some measures have broad confidence intervals)
- A lot of country government websites release a lot of data
- Google analytics is good http://www.google.com/intl/nl_ALL/analytics/
- scientific research sometimes publish raw data
There are a lot of projects around open data ( http://www.opendatafoundation.org/ for example), I suggest to dig in there, you are likely to find a lot of sites.
like this: http://ckan.net/
As for statistics (numbers derived from data-sets): depends on how they are constructed... so if in doubt about the validity, try and find out how it was derived. That can give a good estimate of the validity and reliability.
As for getting good statistics: I construct them myself ;-)
Jul 28 2011: True, it is quite easy to sneak in leading questions, and answer tendencies in anything you wish to have certain answers from...
Sadly, that happens.
I abhor such practices, as it damages the good researchers and scientists out there... and it confuses the lay-men who can't distinguish between good and bad research, polls and surveys.
Jul 28 2011: I'm talking from my perspective which is education and I can't see the point of collating averages and so on.
You can identify trends to your hearts content but it is only ever about the stats, it never seems to be applicable or relevant to the people from which the stats were derived.
Also, unless you survey everyone under the exact conditions and exactly the same frame of mind with an absolute control on the truth being told then they are just a talking point over the teacups at best.
Jul 29 2011: I'm in a bit if a rush here so for now I'd just like to share this statistic with you. It's about world literacy... have a quick look please... http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=literacy
Jul 29 2011: You know me and my sweeping statements. Always a good way to kick an animated discussion off.
On further thought, my gripe is really the misappropriation of statistics, by which I mean, in the case of education systems, student learning data is gathered for the purposes of the Ministry of Education and rarely for the purpose of enhancing actual classroom experience.
This consumes a lot of valuable teacher/student time for the purposes of bureaucracy.

First of all i want to say thank you for the feature, we'll hopefully be back on track this week after the tragic event that befell us.
Now to the meat of the reply, if we took up a vote system, then many comics that aren't in the spotlight or just starting out/finding their feet would be exculded in favour of all the long established comics
We at Out Of World, like many others, have a humble begining where we simply had interesting adventures and events then decided to share them - a vote system would never of gave us this chance and even been disheartening to those trying ot break into comics.
Theres many fine strips but some are by new and fragile people, undecided if they want to continue and something like this is a fantastic way to to test the waters.
And you're still a complete idiot for thinking I'm a prude, and only making yourself look ridiculously stupider by agreeing with the earlier idiot. But go ahead and carry on.
This site's community has always been made up of WoW's utter worst. It's no surprise you'd defend shit like CAD and half of the rest of the trash that gets posted in this list. CAD is the real offender, though. Somehow I shouldn't be surprised this site of all places would actually stand up for B^U's garbage.
Bragging on the internet about how "un-prudish" you are means nothing, like all other bragging done the internet ... you can't back up any of your statements, it makes you look like a dick and no one cares.
I also find it humorous that the person who has commented on this article the most is calling the site's community "WoW's utter worst."
Drakkenfyre said...
Alot of the hate on CAD isn't from the lack of funny on some of the comics, it's the fact that Tim Buckly is a douchebag.
The guy dumped his gf after she had a miscarriage, then made a comic about it, trying to be funny.
Then, he solicited an underage girl by sending her pictures of his nuts, with her name written on an area down there.
Anyone who questions him on his forums are banned.
And his art is recycled clipart. He uses the same stuff over and over again.

There are different theories about the founding of tennis.
There is a Greek painting found, showing sort of a game of tennis from 500 years bC.
An Italian painting from 1734 (the box of hyacintus) was found as well, and on the painting you see one tennis racket and 2 tennis balls.
The most likely story is that tennis derived from the French ballgame jeu de paume, that was already played in the eleventh century. First people hit the ball with their hands, later they used a plank which was attached to their hand and after that a plank with a handle.
And now we use a tennis racket.
The one that served the ball first shouted: Tenez! which is French for Take that! and the word tennis came from that.
The game as we know it today was born in 1873, when a major invented the game
Sphairistikè, where our game evolved from. It soon became very popular in Great Britain. The first tennis championship was in 1877.
The game and the court
You play tennis on a tennis court. The court is divided in two pieces by the net, which is exactly ninety-one centimeters in the middle. Each half is divided in 5 parts. The underground is made of gravel (grounded bricks), concrete, grass, artificial turf or carpet. The sort of underground has a lot of influence on the bouncing and the speed of the ball. On gravel the ball bounces higher and slower and on grass it bounces low and fast.
You play tennis one against one (single) or two against two (double). When you play double you must make the field wider by adding the tramrails.
You have to try to hit the ball on the field of your opponent and score games that way. Each point starts with a service. When the ball hits the line, its in. The scoring table goes like this: when you score one point the score is 15-0 (say: fifteen-luv). And when you score another its 30-0. Another makes 40-0. But then your opponent scores: 40-15. If you score again, then you have a game. So you have to make a point 4 times to make a game.
When you win six games, youve won the set. But if its 6-5 in games, you must play on till the difference is two games. When the score is 6-6, you must play a tiebreak. The first person that makes 7 points wins, and the difference must be 2 points again.
The one that wins the most sets of three sets (or five sets when men play) wins the match.
Ways to hit the ball
If you are playing tennis you can hit the ball in different ways. You can do a forehand or a backhand for example. An important hit is the service, every point begins with that. Then you hit the ball above your head and the ball goes diagonally in the service compartment.
And there is the volley, then you hit the ball before the ball gets a chance to bounce.
And of course there is the smash, when the ball is above your head and you try to hit it hard. A smash thats in is hard for your opponent to play back.
Youth competition
If you are a member of a tennis club (like DDV or Goldstar or Amstelpark), you can play the competition in the summer. Then you play with your club against kids from other clubs. But you can only join when youre a good player and of course you have to know the score table well. In a competition you will be in a team with two boys and two girls. Then there are different matches: boys single, girls single, boys double, girls double and mixed double (thats a boy and a girl against a boy and a girl from another club). If you win a match you get one point, and you must try to get as much points as possible for your club. There are also tournaments where you dont play for your club but for yourself.
If you are a member of a tennis club, you can get tennis lessons (tennis training). There you learn all the kinds of hits and how to use them (technique). You also learn tactics, how to play good matches and of course the score system. You get those lessons from a trainer, and learn them while playing games, playing small matches and getting some theory about tennis.
Major tournaments
Major tournaments are worldwide tournaments where the best players of all countries of the world play in: like Wimbledon, the Australian Open, the Davis Cup and Roland Garos. Some famous tennis players are: Richard Krajicek, Pete Sampras, Paul Haarhuis, Martina Hingis and Venus Williams. This was our talk.

David J. Burman -- 2006 Outstanding Alumnus
Bachelor of Arts - 1974 - Political Science
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Wyoming, Laramie native David J. Burman attended Georgetown University Law School, where he was editor-in-chief of the Georgetown Law Journal. Burman credits his experiences as a member of the UW Debate Team and law-related courses taught by Professor Mike Horan (Department of Political Science) with piquing his interest in a law career. "Being on the debate team was a great experience for me," notes Burman. "I was able to develop skills that have been essential to my career and I met many impressive people."
Following law school, Burman had two prestigious clerkships, one with the United States Circuit Court for the District of Columbia and the other with Justice Byron White of the United States Supreme Court.
A partner in Perkins Coie LLP Law Firm in Seattle, Washington, Burman is well versed in the areas of complex and commercial litigation, antitrust and contract dispute, intellectual property, and constitutional law. He also has been involved with many of the
largest public law cases in the state of Washington, including defense of the University of Washington Law School's affirmative action plan and the Seattle School District's bilingual education program, and Burman represented Compassion in Dying in its challenge to state statues that prohibited physician-assisted suicide. Last year, he represented Governor Gregoire's successful effort to defeat a lawsuit challenging the validity of her election.
Burman has argued two cases in the United States Supreme Court. For his efforts in one of those cases, in 2004, Burman received a number of awards, including the Goldmark Award, recognizing the outstanding work of an attorney or organization that has performed on behalf of the poor. Named for Seattle Attorney Charles A. Goldmark, the award is sponsored by the Legal Foundation of Washington. Burman also was named one of the top four Washington lawyers by Chamber and Partners, publishers of world-famous guides to famous law firms and lawyers.
In addition to his professional pursuits, Burman serves his community as a member of various committees and boards, including working on a federal judicial merit selection panel for the Federal District Court and as a lawyer representative for the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference. He also is an elected member of the American Law Institute and a founding member of the Dwyer Inn of Court. Burman is on the College of Arts and Sciences Board of Visitors. In 2005, he received the Seattle Chamber of Commerce's Edward E. Carlson Outstanding Citizen Award.
Longtime friend and colleague United States Circuit Judge Margaret McKeown notes: "Dave not only does a lot—he does it exceedingly well. He is a principled advocate who has earned respect from judges and peers alike. He effectively combines scholarship with private practice. But, most importantly, Dave is humble and has never forgotten his roots. He maintains pride in being from Wyoming, and he keeps up with his high school friends from Laramie. Like many who have grown up in Wyoming, he is inexorably tied to Wyoming, its people, and its landscape."
Burman cites his family—two daughters Kendall and Blaire—as his greatest accomplishment. But in true Burman fashion, he adds, "Although my wife DeeAnn deserves most of the credit."
