Some of the most compelling journalism in the last week looked at ordinary lives that were deeply affected by the hurricane. Read more »
A few observations on Tuesday night's online coverage and Wednesday's print edition:
The Empire State Building was in blue lights, Mitt Romney's Boston crowd was looking despondent, and even the careful Associated Press had taken the plunge, but The Times held off late Tuesday night in declaring President Obama the winner.
Well over half an hour after most news organizations had projected the president's re-election, The Times was holding off and attributing victory to the television networks in its major home-page headline. The A.P. made its call at 11:38 p.m.
At 12:03 a.m., I got a mobile alert with The Times itself projecting the president's re-election. Read more…
The Times had a strong story on the front page Wednesday under a headline that says a great deal: "For Years, Warnings That It Could Happen Here."
"It," of course, refers to a disaster like the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
That article, by Mireya Navarro and David Chen, may have reminded some readers about another front-page effort about seven weeks ago by Ms. Navarro. Read more…
The New York Times had many more readers than usual on Monday and early Tuesday as Hurricane Sandy devastated the metropolitan area and beyond.
And that was for many good reasons. The Times's offerings on the storm have been robust, authoritative and remarkably varied. They were also accurate, which is more than you could say for some of what was available elsewhere, where hyped reports and faked photos added to what was already a chaotic situation.
Those offerings included everything from a webcam on the building's roof, with images updated minute-by-minute, to the overall reported story under the byline of James Barron – surely one of the best rewrite men in the business — with contributions from dozens of reporters in the field, and a great deal more. An interactive storm tracker was one of many graphics intended to help readers understand what was going on. A frequently updated gallery of startling photographs helped tell the tale, as did video.
Internet traffic to the Times site went through the roof, said Ian Fisher, the associate managing editor in charge of the dayside home page and Web site.
"Digital traffic was about double what would be our highest normal day," he said.
His aim? "Trying to do a bit of everything – cover all the basic news, the announcements from public officials, but also to catch the sheer scale of the devastation and the human drama and emotion."
In addition to the quality of the report, the removal of the paper's pay wall – which blocks readers from digital access after a number of visits – was surely a part of the increased traffic.
The free access to The Times's digital sites will continue at least until tomorrow morning, said John Geddes, managing editor of The Times.
Why did The Times remove its pay wall?
"It's a quaint term but it's public service," Mr. Geddes said. "This is a situation in which dissemination of information may help people make life and death decisions." He said the free access would continue at least until 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Print readers in the New York metropolitan area were less fortunate. Bridge and tunnel closures meant that getting papers from the printing plant in Queens to Manhattan and most other parts of the metropolitan area was impossible; the paper was printed and distributed nationally. Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for The Times, said that undelivered Tuesday papers would be included in Wednesday's delivery wherever possible.
The fast-moving story, though, was far more suited to digital news anyway. "There's a lot of misinformation out there and we hope that people come to The Times to find out what's true," said Fiona Spruill, who is in charge of emerging platforms, which these days tends to mean mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.
All of this doesn't happen by magic. When I got to The Times's newsroom on Tuesday morning, many of the reporters and editors who were still at their posts had barely left them since Sunday.
Carolyn Ryan, the metropolitan editor, had hardly slept in more than two days when I spoke to her on Tuesday afternoon. As the editor at the center of the paper's coverage, she had 42 reporters and nine editors on the story.
"We most want to be useful, we want to be truthful, we want to be encompassing and contextual," Ms. Ryan told me.
An article that is very likely to be on Wednesday's front page is one that provides that context: A report on the city's flood zones that will detail, she said, "that the water table has changed and the infrastructure hasn't."
It suggests, Ms. Ryan said, that "we can't live like this."
For the breaking story, Ms. Ryan relied heavily on Mr. Barron, the rewrite man who has been working at The Times for more than 35 years – since a week after his graduation from Princeton University in 1977.
His challenge in writing the main news story, he said, is to "take a big story and turn it into something that makes sense, is accurate and reads well." Weaving together reports from many reporters in the field is part of the challenge.
"When they are all clamoring for the copy and everything is still happening," it's difficult, he said. "Getting it right is the first and foremost thing."

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Absolutely wonderful school. Teachers go way above and beyond. So proud for my children to be able to attend Frash. I wouldn't want my children to go any where else.
My two sons have attended Frasch over the last 15 years. They are 10 years apart in age. This is the youngest's final year at Frasch. So in these 15 years I have seen a lot. The teachers at Frasch are the BEST!!! Principal Rick Truax was my junior coach back in Westlake, so I guess I knew how strict he was and I really appreciate the way he ran the school. I am "old School" about discipline. I do agree however that there could have been more freedoms on a few things. Now, with Principal McCardle, I have seen BIG improvements. The school faculty and students are a family and there are definitely more happy "campers" around the school. I have to mention our favorite teacher, Mrs. Debra Morrison, who was such a beautiful person and cares about her students. I really appreciate the DDP department for helping my son in speech. He started at Frasch at the age of 3 with development delayed speech and he is now in 5th grade and is an honor student. Thanks to everyone at Frasch who have made my sons elementary learning experience a great one.
This school plays favoritism with their students to much. The only pay attention to the students that makes their school look good. Instead of paying attention to their safety.
My daughter lived in the office at her previous school because she did not feel comfortable there. She was so excited to go to Frash after going to the open house because shefelt that all the staff were nice and she also felt that they liked her! Since being there for one week, she has learned so much and always brings home smiley faces and completes all her work. She even does her homework without any problems. Frash was a blessing for my daughters education. I also appreciate thecar riders pick up routine. This is one school that I feel my childs safety is a priority! Thankyou to all the staff at this wonderful school!
I Like this school because, they are intrested in the kids education. They have good teachers that want to teach, instead of doing it just for the money. Some teachers could careless if they learned anything. Not at Frasch Elementary.
I have to say I disagree with the parent below. If your child expresses that he is being 'picked on' or there is any other problem in class, then a parent should be allowed to see first hand what the problem is and the school should be obliged to make that possible. The school district told us that there is no policy restricting parents from seeing, however we were never allowed by Frasch staff to see our child in the classroom environment. Additionally, when it came to parent-teacher conference, we didn't even conference with our child's teacher, she sent someone in her place, on multiple occasions.
My daughter went to school at Frasch for 6 years and she received an excellent education. The parents are not allowed into the classrooms at anytime because there is work going on. The teachers are professionals and should be treated like that from the parents. Just like if they were doctors, you can't see a doctor whenever you want, you make appointments. The teachers were always eager to schedule teacher conferences with me, but I knew when my child was in the classroom that my child was being taught by the teacher. Mr. McCardle can just improve on an already excellent school, by making the parents happy with spirit shirts, fund raisers, and yearbooks. My daughter went to school for academics and that is what she received. She has fun on weekends, summers, and holidays
I must say, my opinion of Frasch Elementary has changed drastically since Frasch has been appointed a new principal, Tony McCardle. Mr. McCardle has addressed all of the concerns I have had in the past. First, parent involvement is higher than ever before. I feel welcome at the school and happy to volunteer. My child is now able to wear a spirit shirt on Fridays. I feel the school is still strict; however, there is more freedom now at the school. I am very impressed and I simply waiting for the school to improve more with Mr. Tony McCardle.
This school has been a big disappointment. I agree with the parent that said that at Frasch they are very strict on the children and that kids need a little freedom to learn and explore. Parents do not have the right to visit their child (children) at any giving time; even if your child has a special need which is very frustrating. We had a bad experience with a teacher and the principal. They did not follow up on what they had agreed to do to keep us informed. I believe parents should be able to visit their child if needed. Also, they claim to want parents to volunteer but when a parent offers to assist them, they say parents in the classroom are not allowed. Excellence in Education can be achieved allowing parents to become involved not by keeping them out of the school.
Excellence in Education is right to the point when speaking about Frasch. Students are encouraged to meet very high expectations set by the school. Students have the opportunity to go to Spanish Immersion, Art, P.E., Library, and Computer Labs. Parents have limited opportunities to become involved, which frustrates some people, but overall it's very safe with lots of learning going on. I feel lucky for my children to attend! Sincerely, A Very Pleased Parent
I believe that the school is excellent in discipline and teaching the children. I believe that we need to have spirit shirts and be able to wear on picture day a shirt that the children would like to wear, as long as it is appropriate. My son is in 4th grade, and I have only had problems with one of his teacher's.
at Frasch they are very strict on the children in some was that is good becuse they don't have any fighting going on but,also kids need to have a little freedom.My son is in Kindergarden and the teacher he has is not very informative on how they do I have even tryed to set up a meeting but never get a call back.She is not very social ,but besides for her everything else is pretty good.
I think at Frasch its all work and no play. The kids cant talk in the hall way or in the gym before the bell rings. There is no year books sold. On picture day the children have too wear their uniforms. There is no free day to say wear a sprit shirt. Parents do not have the right too eat with their child (children) at any giving time. In all there is no freedom there.
Teachers and Principal highly involved with students. Discipline excellent. Safety and curriculum of highest caliber.

Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site and Interpretive Center
Walking with Whitman:Poetry in Performance Featuring Ray McNiece & Pramila Venkateswaran
7.00 - 9.00
Walt Whitman Birthplace Association is pleased to present the third season of its signature series Walking with Whitman: Poetry in Performance, a series of performances and presentations by some of the most intriguing figures in contemporary literature and the arts on the national scene, paired with respected voices on the regional scene. The series is hosted by Walt Whitman Birthplace Writer-in-Residence George Wallace.
This year WWBA is offering an optional poetry writing workshop series:
Writing with Whitman: Poetry Writing Workshops
Workshops will take place on the afternoons of the evening reading from 3 - 5 PM. The workshops will be conducted by the evening reading's regional poet and will give participants at all levels an opportunity for a more shared experience of poetry.
Saturday, November 2 (7-9 PM)
featuring Ray McNiece
with Pramila Venkateswaran
"Meet the Poets" Reception at 6:15 PM
Ray McNiece has earned a national reputation as a poet and performer for almost two decades through his solo theater pieces, his poetry and music shows, his captaining of two National Poetry Slam Championship teams, his "edutaining" children's shows and workshops, and his yearly country-wide tours of performance poems, stories and songs.
Ray is the author of six poetry books – Dis, The Bone-Orchard Conga, The Road that Carried Me Here, Song that Fathoms Home, Wet Sand Raven Tracks – New Haiku, and Us? Talking Across America, two solo theatre works – Dis – Voices From a Shelter, Us? Talking Across America, two music/poetry collaborations – Mouth Music, A Rust bowl Hootenanny, and one collaborative theatre work – Homegirl meets Whiteboy -- with Shawn Jackson. He also co-edited the anthology of Contemporary Buddhist Poetry, America Zen. The Orlando Sentinel reporting on Ray's solo show at the Fringe Festival called him "a modern day descendant of Woody Guthrie. He has a way with words and a wry sense of humor." In a review of his second theatre work, Us? Talking Across America, the Star-Phoenix said, "His thoughtful writing combines with perfectly timed delivery to create a powerful wordscape that owes as much to jazz as drama." He was the voice of Woody Guthrie in WCPN/NPR's award winning radio documentary, Hard Travellin'.
Ray is also an accomplished actor and has appeared in plays at Ensemble, Dobama, Cleveland Public and Cleveland Playhouse theatres.
Pramila Venkateswaran is the author of Thirtha (Yuganta Press, 2002), Behind Dark Waters (Plain View Press, 2008), Draw Me Inmost (Stockport Flats, 2009), and Trace (Finishing Line Press,2011), has a doctorate from George Washington University and teaches English and Women's Studies at Nassau Community College, New York. A finalist for the Allen Ginsberg Poetry Award in 1999 and a recipient of a Hedgebrook residency in 2002 and a Norcroft residency in August 2003, she has published in Paterson Literary Review, Ariel: A Review of International English Literature, Atlanta Review, Prairie Schooner, Xanadu, Long Island Quarterly, Calyx: Journal of Art and Literature by Women, California Quarterly, Kavya Bharati, and Nassau Review, among several other print and electronic journals. Recent anthologies, A Chorus for Peace, En(Compass) and Writing the Lines of Our Hands, include her voice among poets from around the world. She reads her poems internationally, most recenly at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival. Her essays on literature, gender, and politics, appear in Women's Studies Quarterly, Socialism and Democracy, and Journal of Postcolonial Writing, among many others.
Ms. Venkateswaran will be conducting a poetry writing workshop as part of the Writing with Whitman series from 3-5 PM in the Interpretive Center.

BioPen to rewrite orthopaedic implants surgery
A handheld 'bio pen' developed in the labs of the University of Wollongong (UOW) will allow surgeons to design customised implants on-site and at the time of surgery.
The BioPen, developed by researchers from the UOW-headquartered Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES), will give surgeons greater control over where the materials are deposited while also reducing the time the patient is in surgery by delivering live cells and growth factors directly to the site of injury, accelerating the regeneration of functional bone and cartilage.
The BioPen works similar to 3D printing methods by delivering cell material inside a biopolymer such as alginate, a seaweed extract, protected by a second, outer layer of gel material. The two layers of gel are combined in the pen head as it is extruded onto the bone surface and the surgeon 'draws' with the ink to fill in the damaged bone section.
A low powered ultra-violet light source is fixed to the device that solidifies the inks during dispensing, providing protection for the embedded cells while they are built up layer-by-layer to construct a 3D scaffold in the wound site.
Once the cells are 'drawn' onto the surgery site they will multiply, become differentiated into nerve cells, muscle cells or bone cells and will eventually turn from individual cells into a thriving community of cells in the form of a functioning a tissue, such as nerves, or a muscle.
The device can also be seeded with growth factors or other drugs to assist regrowth and recovery, while the hand-held design allows for precision in theatre and ease of transportation.
The BioPen prototype was designed and built using the 3D printing equipment in the labs at the University of Wollongong and was this week handed over to clinical partners at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne, led by Professor Peter Choong, who will work on optimising the cell material for use in clinical trials.
The BioPen will help build on recent work by ACES researchers where they were able to grow new knee cartilage from stem cells on 3D-printed scaffolds to treat cancers, osteoarthritis and traumatic injury.
Professor Peter Choong, Director of Orthopaedics at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne and the Sir Hugh Devine Professor of Surgery, University of Melbourne said:
"This type of treatment may be suitable for repairing acutely damaged bone and cartilage, for example from sporting or motor vehicle injuries. Professor Wallace's research team brings together the science of stem cells and polymer chemistry to help surgeons design and personalise solutions for reconstructing bone and joint defects in real time."
The BioPen will be transferred to St Vincent's for clinical projects to be carried out at the proposed Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery in Melbourne.
"The combination of materials science and next-generation fabrication technology is creating opportunities that can only be executed through effective collaborations such as this," ACES Director Professor Gordon Wallace said.
"What's more, advances in 3D printing are enabling further hardware innovations in a rapid manner."
Design expertise and fabrication of the BioPen was supported by the Materials Node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility, hosted at the University of Wollongong's Innovation Campus.

Mechanics of Language Failures
Have you ever heard of a paradoxical sentence like, "This sentence isn't true"?
I think it's a mechanics-of-language failure.
See, when we try to express an idea using language, it's often not possible to capture the pure essence of the idea.
There's concepts that don't have words for them and there's words that exist that describe a number of different things ("happiness"). Then, on top of that, there's structures and grammar and traditions and "implied meanings." When someone makes a sarcastic reference to "Mission Accomplished" you'd need to know a considerable amount of recent American politics and history to entirely get their meaning.
In the end, language exists to try to communicate meaning. It takes the thought or concept and puts it into verbal form. But because language does so many different things at the same time, loopholes and broken constructions emerge.
"This sentence isn't true" is around the borders of language, attempting to use a loophole to do something weird. It's a statement that identifies itself as the object, simultaneously looking to change the object by making the statement.
It's like dividing by zero. It doesn't work. How do you divide an apple into zero parts? You basically can't do it.
The same is true with our language. "This sentence isn't true" is playing around with faulty mechanics.

Utah State Senator Proposes Making 12th Grade Optional
samzenpus posted more than 4 years ago | from the all-I-really-need-to-know-I-learned-by-11th-grade dept.15
State Sen. Chris Buttars has a great idea to cut Utah's $700 million deficit, make senior year optional. The senator told the Public Education Appropriations Subcommittee that many students just waste time during their senior year and that getting rid of it would save $102 million. "You're spending a whole lot of money for a whole bunch of kids who aren't getting anything out of that grade," he said. "It comes down to the best use of money."

2nd Line: Perron-Arcobello-Eberle
This line brings both excitement and fear when looking at it as a whole. Using the last pre-season game against the Rangers as an exmaple, Perron had a pair of goals, Arcobello two assists and Eberle a three point night.
The concern is Arcobello and his ability to play sound defense, particularly in the faceoff circle. Well below the 50% mark through this pre-season on the draws, Arcobello must get stronger in this department in order to bridge the gap until RNH returns.
This trio will be exciting to watch based on their speed and ability to create a scoring play out of nothing. Anybody that plays with Eberle is instantly getting the puck from places you never thought possible and Perron is proving that acquiring him was the best trade MacTavish made thus far.
If they can carry over their pre-season success then this line could provide the bulk of the scoring for the Oilers, at least from a five-on-five standpoint, an area that was dismal last year in Edmonton. Secondary scoring has sorely been lacking with the Oilers and this pre-season has proven that the possibility may be there for Edmonton to be able to have two lines that can contribute offensively on a regular basis.

7 Home Premium 64
Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS can not Dual Display -1 loses signal at startup
The following drivers will Not dual display: 295.73-Feb.2012 to 306.97-Oct.2012
But these previous drivers Will dual display: 285.62-Oct.2011 (also beta 290.53) and earlier to at least 185.93-May 2009
Card output: Dual Monitor Solution 59 pin socket (DMS-59) to VGAx2 cable adapter
Driver: 306.97 October 2012 - latest driver and clean reset install
OS: Windows 7 64
At login screen, the system powers off monitor 1 and powers on monitor 2. Windows behaves in every way as though dual display is working fine even though monitor 1 does not display because it's not getting a signal. It's the same for single display -a monitor on cable 1 powers off after startup finishes; or a monitor on cable 2 will display for both startup and windows. An interesting observation is that drivers 295 and later drivers reverse the monitor order numbers 1 & 2 shown in the control panels from the drivers 285 and previous.
Less important details:
Linux Ubuntu 10 dual displays fine. And so does my Windows XP 32 computer also with a GeForce 8400 GS but VGA & DVI output instead of DMS-59. It uses the latest (306.81) driver.
Tried Same Resolution and refresh rates: 2 of the 4 monitors I have tried have the exact same 'recommended' resolution (1280X 1024), both 60Hz, and even chose 16 bit color for both instead of 32 to reduce resources.
Both 'Extend these displays' in Windows Screen Resolution and 'Extend' in the Nvidia Control Panel is selected. And changing which one is primary does not turn on monitor 1. Nor does switching the position of display 1 in either (ex. left/right/top/bottom).
My Windows 7 64 is an upgrade from Vista 64. One person in another forum with the same problem resolved theirs by reinstalling Windows 7. But another got the same problem only after a fresh clean install of Windows 7 64 with the same GeForce 8400 GS and DMS-59 when it had previously worked in Vista. Dual Monitors - Only One Works at a Time
Tried two VGAx2 cable adapters in case one was defective.
Pushing a menu button on monitor 1 does wake it up, but just says,
