A Sultan's legacy
Publication Date : 30-05-2014
He was the consummate hockey man – a player for his state, a national selector who was behind the rise of some of the greatest names to have graced our hockey fields and, finally, the president of the Malaysian Hockey Federation for close to three decades.
Sultan Azlan Shah was indeed the father of Malaysian hockey, the man behind the sport in the country for as long as anyone can remember. But it wasn't just the love for the game on the pitch that set him apart from everyone else. It was the fact that he cared for the sportsmen (and women), the athletes.
It was he who was behind the setting up of Yayasan Hockey – a scholarship fund for talented hockey players – in 1990. He was also instrumental in the setting up of a players' retirement fund.
Under his watch, hockey players were not just a motley crew chasing a ball with a stick. They were doctors, degree holders, highly qualified professionals, CEOs even. His hockey set-up saw to it that the players would always have a successful career when they left the game.
His successor as president of Malaysian hockey – it's called the Malaysian Hockey Confederation now – is set to leave the game. The president is Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, the man who has just been elected as leader of the Football Association of Malaysia.
Tengku Abdullah, however, has his work cut out for him as head of Malaysian football. Detractors may question his record – after all, he has been deputy president for years. However, we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, the outgoing president was the Sultan of Pahang – his father – so it must have been tough trying to tell his father how things should be done.
Now that he is his own man and president, let's see what he can do.
Tengku Abdullah is an avid football fan and was a good player as well. He has asked for four years and deserves at least as much.
He has to chart a future for the football team that has fallen to new depths. But there's a lesson he has to bring for the late Sultan Azlan Shah, too. He must not forget the past. And those who have served the country
Just last Sunday, I was in Malacca, as a veteran's football team from Penang took on a team in Malacca. And there, among my many friends from Penang, was one famous son of the state.
He is much older now but he has lost little of his silky skills and that left leg still bamboozles opponents. However, for all his ability and achievement on the pitch, he is a technician with a subsidiary company of the Penang Development Corporation. In other words, a worker for a contractor of sorts. But he isn't the type to complain. He's fine as long as he can play football.
But there are many others who are worse off. Their only skill was their sport. After retirement, they face bleak futures.
There is no retirement fund, no move into management or coaching, no help forthcoming from the governing bodies. Many go through life as little more than office boys, or despatch clerks.
It's sad. As Tengku Abdullah took office, another famous star who has played with Rukkumaran, "Towkay" Soh Chin Aun, said it was time for FAM to look into using the expertise of former football stars to groom the teams of the future.
He spoke of Michel Platini (UEFA president), Kunishige Kamamoto (vice-chairman of Japan FA), Kuniya Daini (Japan FA president) and Kim Jae-han (vice-president of Korean FA), who have all been great players and gone on to help develop teams.
Of course, there's the great "Kaizer" Franz Beckenbauer, one of only two men ever to have lifted the football World Cup as player and manager.
Malaysian football, however, is run largely by politicians. It's not just football. It's a problem in all sports.
Just over a week ago, former badminton star Wong Choong Hann – he was national No.1 when Lee Chong Wei was No.3 – wrote of the stark reality that comes after retirement.
"Not all athletes successfully make that transition from sport to retirement. There seems to be a lack of proper direction and transition plans for athletes to fall back on after they call it a day," he said.
"A few things may have improved since I left but I believe we need something more concrete for our athletes when they retire."
His suggestion? "Athletes should also enjoy medical and insurance benefits even after they stop serving the nation."
There's something Tengku Abdullah could think about. The retired players could be used as coaches in schools – the day of the sportsman-teacher are long gone – or at district level. The bigger stars could also be roped in to administer the states, and even lend a hand at FAM.
As for us, well, me and my buddies are starting our very own informal junior football academy in Penang. With "Rocky" Rukkumaran as coach and talent scout, of course.

what comes out,,,IMO any negatives is allready in the shareprice but any positives is not...i still think we will rise into the $.20sss soon...
One of the last 'good' attributes of CDII is that it is a reporting company. They have already been lowered one tier level on the OTC since they did not file on time. I assume if the company files by the 19th we can gain that level back. RG emailed me earlier in the week and said ER would be on or before the 15th. This is exactly why I am not making a visit to their office. They will blow smoke where the sun don't shine.
I am sure we'll all be looking at the magnesium numbers from Oct and Nov since the company said they saw a rebound. Hopefully the company's new strategy of financing the growth of this company will pay off.
Let's hope the company doesn't think about releasing earnings on President's day (or that it will buy them an extra calendar day - this is not business days, but calendar days)
Per the filing:
PART 11 - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate).
The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant could not complete the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2012 due to a delay in obtaining and compiling information required to be included in its Form 10-Q, which delay could not be eliminated by Registrant without unreasonable effort and expense. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Registrant will file its Form 10-Q no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has told Egyptian leaders that he may not wait until the next election to resign.
Mr Abbas has announced that he will not seek reelection as president of the Palestinian Authority.
The Egyptian delegation, led by the country's Palestinian ambassador Yasser Othman, was visting Ramallah in order to try and urge Mr Abbas to continue as president, Haaretz reported.
Mr Abbas had come under fire in recent months because he did not immediately throw his backing behind the UN Goldstone Report, causing tensions between Hamas and Fatah.
Israeli billionaire and Lubavitch philanthropist Lev Leviev has reached an agreement to refinance the loans that his company took out from banks and pension funds in Israel.
Africa-Israel announced two months ago that it would have trouble repaying the loans, which total £1.2 billion. Mr Leviev will pay about ten per cent of the debt from his private funds and be allowed to retain control of the company.
Part of the loans will be repaid in Africa-Israel shares and the rest of the repayments will be spread over the next ten years.
A Jewish "terrorist" who has allegedly confessed to a string of murders and terror attacks was remanded in custody for a week in a Petah Tikvah court on Wednesday.
As part of the ongoing investigation, Ya'akov Teitel's Manchester-born wife, Rivka, was arrested as she drove to a remand hearing for her husband, and was separated from her baby. The couple have four children and live in the Shvut Rachel settlement on the West Bank.
It took the police only six days to crack Israel's most vicious murder, but despite the arrest of the alleged killer and his detailed confession, the case has raised serious questions about the country's immigration policy.
Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will travel to Washington next week for a meeting with President Obama in a much friendlier atmosphere than their past two meetings.
The improvement in relations between the White House and Jerusalem came as the Obama Administration took more Israel-friendly positions on the issue of settlements and the Goldstone Report.
The land of Jaffa oranges and Hass avocados has a new export success. Israel emerged this week as the world's leading supplier of hippopotami.
An Israeli zoo, the Ramat Gan Safari, has shipped 14 of the massive mammals to zoos around the world in recent months. The animals have been sent to new homes in Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband has expressed concern over worsening tensions in Jerusalem, and said Britain would press the Israeli government to halt evictions in East Jerusalem.
In a telephone conversation with the Palestinian Prime Minister, Mr Miliband also expressed his anger with Hamas to Prime Minster Salam Fayyad.
The militant group yesterday urged Palestinians to boycott the January elections in Gaza, threatening violence against those who did not.
Mr Miliband said in a statement: "This betrays the Palestinians in Gaza who have suffered so much in the past year."
Two Israeli films have won top prizes at the London film festival
Israeli director Yoav Shamir has won the Grierson prize for documentary for his film Defamation, which looks at antisemitism around the world.
The Sutherland award for the best first feature film went to Ajami, a film set in Jaffa in a mixed Jewish and Arab neighbourhood. It was directed by Palestinian Scandar Copti and Israeli Yaron Shani.
The film has also been placed on the short list of nominees for the 2010 Academy Awards.
Senior IDF officers have stopped visiting several European countries, including Britain, as a network of human rights lawyers has stepped up efforts to issue arrest warrants against officers suspected of war crimes.
Lawyers in the UK, Holland, Spain and other countries have compiled a list of IDF officers who were in command of Operation Cast Lead in Gaza 10 months ago. According to Daniel Machover of Hickman & Rose in London, his office has been instructed by Palestinians in Gaza to bring charges against officers for alleged war crimes.
A special committee has ruled that gender-segregated public buses are illegal, but at the same time will allow the strictly Orthodox community to organise segregated private transport.
The largest transport co-operative, Egged, has about 55 bus lines on which men and women are made to sit separately as a result of strictly Orthodox pressure. Petitions against this to the Supreme Court resulted in a committee appointed by the Transport Ministry.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 3:40 — 3.4MB)
Seasonal workers at local parks can expect a four percent increase in their hourly wages next year, while permanent staff can expect a two percent raise. These proposals were part of the 2016 budget request presented by the Director of the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department, Mick Renneisen. Renneisen spoke to the Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners yesterday. He first reviewed highlights from the department's activities this past year.
Renneisen says there were almost a million public participations in parks and recreation programs in 2014. He then went over the Department's priorities for next year. The Board approved the Department's request for a little over eight million dollars in general funding for next year, an increase of 2.3 percent over 2015. That request now goes to the City Council. Renneisen then reviewed the non-reverting fund budget request for his Department. These are on-going funds needed for expenses, such as personnel, which roll over yearly.
The Board has the final say over the approval of the non-reverting fund budget. It unanimously approved the Department's proposal.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals want Mike McCoy in for second interview
With the Denver Broncos eliminated from the playoffs, the battle to hire offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is likely to pick up some steam.
McCoy, who is arguably the hottest name on the market with regards to becoming some team's next head coach, has already interviewed with the Cardinals, Bears and Eagles, and is scheduled to meet with the Charges Monday.
According to FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer, the Cards want to chat with him again Tuesday.
Chargers interviewing Broncos' Mike McCoy today and Cards now want to bring McCoy back in for 2nd interview tomorrow
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) January 14, 2013
Last week ESPN NFL insider John Clayton said McCoy was the "leader in the clubhouse" for the Arizona job, and the fact that they want him for a second interview would lend credibility to that claim.
However, with other teams at least interested in the coach — most of which have better quarterbacks than the Cardinals have to offer — their chances of landing him remain very much up in the air.

PEKIN - C.W. "Mike" Jones, 82, of Pekin passed away at 1:12 a.m. Sunday, July 13, 2014, at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.
Born Aug. 21, 1931, in Pisgah, Ala., to Claude Newton and Hattie (Smith) Jones, he married Sandra Sue Baker on April 6, 1963, in East Peoria. She survives.

Mike worked as a tool and die maker at R. Herschel Manufacturing in East Peoria for 19 years and later at Hiram Walker in Peoria for nine years. Following the closing of both businesses, he changed career paths and began a successful career in retail clothing. He worked at Burlington Coat Factory in Peoria and later was recruited to work at T.J. Maxx in Peoria as the assistant manager. After retiring, Mike worked as a ranger at Quail Meadows Golf Course in East Peoria for 14 years.
Mike enjoyed woodworking and golfing. He also enjoyed dancing with Sandy and they were members of the Eureka Dance Club and Caper Dance Club.
His funeral will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 19, 2014, at First United Presbyterian Church in Pekin. David Taylor will officiate.

Imran's been growling for several weeks now. He tends to do it when he's frustrated or protesting something. He sounds like he's possesed. Anyone else?
I think growling is cute, but I have a whiner
SAHM to Jesse(born in the Great Place '07) and Estrella(born at home '11) Gwendolyn(born in water '12)
When Jane says Uh Oh, it sounds like a growl. She says Uuuuuuh Ooooooh like she's really straining.
It cracks me up. :)
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mahatma Gandhi
My DD growls too. It is so stinking cute!! It makes me laugh and we talk about making tiger sounds. She whines too, btw and it is not so cute! HAHA!
Kaleb has been growling for quit some time. I though it was awful at first, but now I think it's hilarious. Yeah, he sounds posessed, but as long as he's not puking pea soup I think it's relatively normal.
Do you have a dog? I think my DS may have learned it from our dogs, as they growl at the door and window a lot.
Lisa, mom to Kaleb (9.11.07) and Jacob (5.23.09)
"You're mad. Bonkers. Off your head. But I'll tell you a secret … all the best people are."
That could be why Jesse doesn't do it our dog doesn't growl, but he has the barking down pat!

Kinley growls sometimes. I know she picked it up from me...not that I growl or anything.lol. When I get frustrated I say "uggghhh"...she tries to copy me, but it sounds like a growl. It's so funny, it cracks me up! She started doing it right after she turned 1. I think it's cute.

We've got a growler here too! Camdyn growls when she's upset and frustrated (sometimes including a hit to her own head! owww).
She growls when she mans to say "Quack" and she also growls the word "hot dog." I am really not sure where she picked it up.
Many friends have commented that she sounds possessed.
I make a growling sound when I put on her snow boots and ever since then when she struggles physically with a task she will to. She actually also growls when I put any shoes on her now even Robeez.

I was completely blown away by this product. I discovered eye primer about a year and a half ago and I have never gone back. I started out with Urban Decay's Primer Potion. It works great, makes colors more vibrant, and lasts all day long. I only bought it once, but that one tube lasted me about a year. I wanted to repurchase it but for a poor college student who finances her beauty addiction by herself, I wasn't willing to dish out $18 for it. I saw that e.l.f made a primer and I bought it. I decided to go for the mineral because I was a bit hesitant about putting a $1 primer on my lids. I was completely surprised at how awesome my eye makeup looked at the end of the day. I didn't want to take it off. I was blown away that this primer did almost exactly what UD's primer did for 1/6 of the cost. So why only 4 lippies? It didn't make my shadows as bright (it never said it would so I'm not holding that against e.l.f too harshly) and when I wear this from 9 in the morning to like 11 at night, when I am about to wash my face, I see my makeup looks a tad worn. But that's okay. No one needs to wear makeup for 14 hours. I don't mind. This looks like it will last me a while too. I am so happy I found a cheaper alternative. This primer makes me eye makeup (and my wallet) happy.

I seriously am all props to ELF for this. They may have a lot of flukes, but not this one. Trust me, I was shocked when (regular Too Faced primer user here) I tried this before my smoky eye makeup, and behold - in the heat, rain, sweat, oil, and everything in between, my eye makeup looked and felt exactly the same. All in place. After 10 hours. Not to mention that it's crazy cheap! Now THIS is something worth repurchasing over and over without any guilt.

This product is amazing! I don't have very oily eyelids but I have always found that my eye shadow would rub off pretty soon after I put it on. But with E.L.F Eyeshadow primer, it looks the same when I get home at the end of the day as it did when I left!!!
It is soooo cheap, I bought it online for about AUD$3 (Crushcosmetics), it is amazing quality for the price.
Would recommend to anyone!!!!!!

Ok, so I bought this eyelid primer because I have the oiliest eyelids in the history of woman.
I never used an eyelid primer before and since this got such great reviews, I bought it because it was so cheap and I usually love e.l.f. products.
My list of pros & cons:
Pros -
* It is very sheer AND makes eyelids brighter.
* Seems tacky-feeling...which is a pro to me because this means that eye makeup will stick to it.
* Easy to apply
Cons -
* Didn't really seem to help with staying power. However, I usually only wear eyeliner on my eyelids....not eyeshadow. I'm sure eyeshadow might stay in place but a word of warning: my eyeliner did not. I tried using liquid liner, gel liner, and pencil liner. Gel liner still got all up in my crease, liquid liner still peeled off, and the pencil liner didn't fare very well either.
Maybe I need to update my liners (or spend more $$ on them), but as of right now, I rate this product as a three. Seems like it could work -- and it does a little -- it just isn't as fantastic and amazing as I thought it would be.
I will use it more and update if anything changes, but as of right now I would not repurchase.

I have extremely oily skin and it's even worse on my eyelids. This primer did not work at all. My eyeliner and eye shadow still smudged after an hour, and wearing this primer was not different from not wearing any primer. I would not buy it again.

I was in need of an eye primer because of my super oily eyelids. I've came across this product online. It was said to be a very good one. Therefore, I gave it a try.
It is a bit too watery. My eyeliner and mascara started creasing after a few hours. It is better than not wearing any primer but it couldn't really help the eye makeup to last whole day.

Reading the reviews for this product I was surprised at how many people did not like the texture. It does indeed feel buttery/oily at first, but dries within a few seconds to a slightly tacky semi-matte surface, perfect for applying shadow. I'm assuming people complaining how this was oily didn't wait for it to dry a little before slapping on some shadow. On me, it intensifies my eyeshadow colours and makes them stay put for at least an 8 hour work day. TFSI does wear better imo, but when put into perspective the E.L.F. product is really great for its pricepoint.

hmmmm. I bought this on a canadian makeup website for $3!! i like my UDPP waaaaay better!! i dont care about spending $25 on it either. this felt like i was putting thin butter on my lids.. doesnt really help my eyeshadow either. I also feel like the tube isnt even full. I will continue to use it untill its finished , or prob give it to my mom! I think i'm done with trying ELF products.

This primer did not work for me :( The consistency is quite like UDPP, but the performance is not like it at all. My shadow lasted maybe ~2 hours longer with this on than if I had not used any primer at all. UDPP literally makes my shadow stay on all day(though with a bit of eyeliner creasing at the end of the day).

nothing compared to my HG Urban Decay PP. Too watery, did not create a good base. Eyeshadow creased within an hour of applying. Totally disappointed by this.

I came to the world of public education late in my career, but through a golden portal, E.D. Hirsch, Jr.'s Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know, a book of such broad intellectual depth and revolutionary import that it was a national bestseller in 1987. Amazingly, more than twenty years later, very few educators have read it (see here). That's too bad. If they had, they would not make statements like the one Josh Thomases, deputy chief academic officer for New York City's Education Department, gave to the New York Times just the other day:
Wrong. The problem of literacy is that the transition from decoding skills to comprehension should happen long before middle school.
Thomases means well. And he's trying to clean up the anti-academic middle school mess that has persisted for far too long (see my Ed Next story). But...
The Northwest Evaluation Association recently surveyed parents and teachers to gauge their support for various types of assessment. The results indicated that just a quarter of teachers find summative assessments "'extremely' or 'very' valuable for determining whether students have a deep understanding of content." By contrast, 67 percent of teachers (and 85 percent of parents) found formative and interim assessments extremely or very valuable.
I can understand why teachers would find formative and interim assessments appealing. After all, teachers generally either create those assessments themselves, or are at least intimately involved with their creation. And they are, therefore, more flexible tools that can be tweaked depending on, for instance, the pace of classroom instruction.
But, while formative and interim assessments are critically important and should be used to guide instruction and planning, they cannot and should not be used to replace summative assessments, which play an equally critical role in a standards-driven system.
Summative assessments are designed to evaluate whether students have mastered knowledge and skills at a particular point...
The bold move by Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson in unveiling his "Plan for Transforming Schools" is a significant step forward for Cleveland, its schools, and, most importantly, its children. The Jackson Plan has the potential to make Cleveland one of the nation's school reform leaders.
In time, it would help all of Cleveland's schools to better provide the high quality education that every child in the city deserves. By focusing laser-like on school performance, regardless of school type (district and charter alike), it would reward and encourage the expansion and replication of great schools while putting much needed pressure on those schools that don't (district and charter alike) to improve or get lost.
Mayor Jackson's plan offers Cleveland a chance to put children's interests first.Photo by Joshua Rothhaas.
The Jackson Plan's sense of urgency is well warranted. Despite laudable school reform efforts in Cleveland over the years...
Two weeks ago, Obama made waves in his State of the Union address when he called for raising the dropout age and requiring all students across the country to stay in school until they're 18. One big solution to our educational crisis, he explained, is to simply not let kids drop out. (Or at least to make it more difficult for them to do so.)
If only it were that easy.
The truth of the matter is, we have yet to develop an education system that keeps students in schools, that holds them accountable to rigorous standards, and that helps them meet those ambitious goals. Therefore, by putting the focus on staying in school longer, without dealing with the very real challenge of how you ensure that the time spent in school is meaningful, Obama may end up ratcheting up the pressure to water down the standards to which all students are held.
This is a truth that Al Shanker recognized two decades ago. In...
While business leaders rue the lack of American workers skilled enough in math and science to meet the needs of an increasingly high-tech economy, the situation may be growing even grimmer. The latest installment of TIMSS showed stagnation in U.S. science achievement, and the 2009 NAEP science assessment found that only 21 percent of American twelfth-graders met the proficiency bar. Yet while the gravity of the problem is clear, the root cause is not. Is our science curriculum lacking? Is it being squeezed out by an emphasis on math and reading? Is there a problem with our pedagogy? Are our teachers ill-prepared? Or are we simply expecting too little of teachers and students alike?
Coinciding with its new review of state science standards, The Thomas B. Fordham Institute will bring together experts with very different perspectives to engage this crucial question: "What's holding back America's science performance?"
Watch the discussion with UVA psychologist Dan Willingham, NCTQ President Kate Walsh, Fordham's Kathleen Porter-Magee, Project Lead the Way's Anne Jones, and Achieve, Inc.'s Stephen Pruitt and join the conversation on Fordham LIVE!
The entire school reform movement is predicated on a hypothesis: Boosting student achievement, as measured by standardized tests, will enable greater prosperity, both for individuals and for the country as a whole. More specifically, improving students' skills and knowledge in reading, math, and science will help poor children climb out of poverty, and will assist all children to prepare for the rigors of college and the workplace. By building the "human capital" of the American workforce, rising achievement will also spur economic growth, which will lift all boats.
It explains reformers' enthusiasm for test-based accountability; for "college- and career-ready standards"; for teacher evaluations based, in significant part, on student outcomes; for "data-based instruction"; and for much of the rest of the modern-day reform agenda. After all, if reading, math, and science knowledge and skills are so directly linked to the life chances of individual kids, and of the livelihood of the country as a whole, why not get the...
After years spent rebutting skepticism and criticism, proponents of the small-schools movement have reason to rejoice (at least in the Big Apple). This MDRC policy brief—an update of its larger 2010 report on small high schools of choice (SSCs) in New York City—finds continued evidence that attending an SSC boosts one's odds of graduating. Some background: Between 2002 and 2008, New York City replaced twenty-three large, failing district schools (graduation rates under 45 percent) with 216 new smaller schools—including 123 academically non-selective "small schools of choice." These are brand-new schools with hand-picked staff, close student/faculty relationships, and strong community partnerships. Starting them entailed a stringent application process (which needed specifically to address how the schools would serve disadvantaged youth) before opening. The brief adds to the original report with an additional year of data (tracking over 21,000 Gotham students) and finds that the average four-year graduation rate was 8.6 percentage points higher for students enrolled at oversubscribed SSCs than for students in traditional public schools who had applied—but not gotten into—their small high school of choice. What's more, these findings hold true across...
SinceSputnik shot into orbit in 1957, Americans have considered science and science education to be vital to our national security and economic competitiveness. That imperative has continued in the half century since the Soviet satellite launch. Indeed, a 2011 survey reports that 74 percent of Americans think STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education is "very important," while only two percent say it's "not too important."
Yet this strong conviction has not translated into strong science achievement. The 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress found barely one-third of U.S. fourth graders "proficient" in science, slipping to 30 percent in eighth grade, and a woeful 21 percent in twelfth. International comparisons are even more disheartening. The most recent PISA assessment, for example, showed American fifteen-year-olds ranking a mediocre twenty-third out of sixty-five countries.
Meanwhile, U.S. companies continue to send jobs overseas in no small part because they cannot find enough Americans with the requisite STEM skills and knowledge.
Add it up and you should be alarmed, very alarmed. Seems the United States does a...
Since states began to adopt the Common Core ELA and math standards en masse, the big question was how well those standards would really be implemented. As I've mentioned before, there isn't yet a clear consensus about what Common Core implementation should mean for instruction. Nor are states necessarily targeting their implementation efforts on the highest-impact activities.
Enter the GE Foundation. In the hopes of providing a big boost to the Common Core implementation efforts, the foundation announced a 4-year, $18 million grant to Student Achievement Partners—the group co-founded by CCSS architects David Coleman, Jason Zimba, and Sue Pimentel. According to GE, the grant will support several implementation efforts, including:
The entire school reform movement is predicated on a hypothesis: Boosting student achievement, as measured by standardized tests, will enable greater prosperity, both for individuals and for the country as a whole. More specifically, improving students' reading, math, and science knowledge and skills will help poor children climb out of poverty, and will help all children prepare for the rigors of college and the workplace. And by building the "human capital" of the American workforce, rising achievement will spur economic growth which will lift all boats.

After all, if reading, math, and science knowledge and skills are so directly linked to the life chances of individual kids, and of the livelihood of the country as a whole, why not get the education system focused like a laser on them?
But is this hypothesis correct? Is stronger academic performance related to better life outcomes...

The latest figures from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) found the overall amount of waste thrown away last year fell by 2.7 per cent to 23.6 million tonnes. The trend has been downwards since 2006/07 despite increasing personal wealth.
Experts said people are becoming more conscientious about making things last, the fashion for growing your own food has led to more people establishing compost heaps in their own back garden and buying less and celebrity chefs have encourage people to use up scraps of food.
Supermarkets have helped by reducing the amount of packaging on produces, following an angry campaign by consumer groups like the Women's Institute.
At the same time people are sending less to landfill and recycling more than ever. The proportion of household waste being recycled, composted or reused rose slightly last year from 37.6 per cent in 2008/2009 to 39.7 per cent in 2009/2010.
According to the figures, 9.4 million tonnes of waste was recycled last year, up from 9.1 million the year before and more than three times the 2.8 million tonnes recycled in 2000/2001.
Although the gradual increase in the amount being recycled slowed this year.
Ministers are concerned less people are taking up recycling because of the previous government's policies, including a possible 'bin tax'.
The Government recently launched a review into England's waste strategy in a bid to make it easier for them to increase the amount of waste being recycled.
Ministers have been keen to cut the number of wheelie bins and containers people have to deal with to sort their waste and recycling.
And in a move which could see a reversal in the trend towards fortnightly bin rounds, brought in as part of efforts to boost recycling, the review is also looking at how Government can work with councils to increase the frequency and quality of collections.
Environment minister Lord Henley said Britain must boost recycling further.
"Local authorities are to be congratulated on this latest set of statistics which show that recycling is increasing and the amount sent to landfill continues to decrease," he said.
"We're keen to see this trend continue as we can't keep sending huge amounts of waste to landfill.
"Less waste should be created, everything from furniture to TVs should be reused rather than thrown away, and valuable items such as aluminium cans recycled."

Creators of one of the most unique hybrids in heavy music over the past dozen years, UK band Crippled Black Phoenix have artfully balanced progressive rock, doom metal, post-rock, ambient music, and Victorian influences in a way that defies categorization. However, in the wake of their 2014 album White Light Generator, founding member Justin Greaves became embroiled in a public feud with former guitarist Karl Demata over legal ownership of the band name.
Latest Blog Posts
The Montreal duo of Karl Raymond and Alex Racine have been churning out heavy rock for the past decade as October Sky, slowly building a reputation as a promising young live act. Their latest EP Rise, which comes out on 9 October, continues that ascent. Combining the force of similar UK duo Royal Blood with the progressive tendencies of Muse, the new tunes are sleek and visceral, and well worth hearing. Which, as it so happens, you can do below.
SYNOPSIS: From Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter, this new 10-episode drama series is set in 1970s New York. A ride through the sex- and drug-addled music business at the dawn of punk, disco, and hip-hop, the show is seen through the eyes of a record label president, Richie Finestra, played by Bobby Cannavale, who is trying to save his company and his soul without destroying everyone in his path.
Formerly of the New York City band the Freshkills and most recently a best-selling ebook author (his book I Swear I'll Make it Up to You is set to be released by a major publisher in 2016) Mishka Shubaly has just released his new album Coward's Path. A ragged, cacophonous confessional record, its kitchen-sink approach, unflinching honesty, and gutter poeticism makes it come across as a weird hybrid of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and NYC punk rock. It's cathartic, wryly humorous, and completely soulful, and absolutely worth a listen.
Athens, Georgia band Gláss offer a unique take on classic gothic post-punk on their debut album, which is due out in early 2016. While the minimalist power of Joy Division looms over the trio's music like a specter, they add a very strong surf rock and punk aesthetic, and that combination of darkness and energy creates a potent dynamic on the cheekily titled track "Glass(-accent)", which you can hear below.

Can't edit translation I knew an update was going to come one of these days. Beautiful new UI. A few problem, though.

Less convenient. And when I was trying to edit it to add the link, I found no way at all to edit. People can't be absolutely free from mistakes so I think the edit feature should've been kept.

block_info: cstarchello_detailpages, Stories Main
22-May-2012 The panels of the Classic-Panels system consist of polyurethane and natural stone. The Classic-Stone range is made out of more than sixteen types of mineral and chemical charges (i.e.: stone, marble, silica, silicates, etc.). The weight is significantly lower than that of natural stone. Its zero percent water absorption ensures a complete sealing. The product has a high resistance to most chemicals products and low abrasive wear. The panels are available in a range of very realistic reproductions, varying from bricks to rocks and limestone to slate, coconut and fantasy surfaces. The UV-resistant top layer is non porous and is resistant to fungus, moss and all kinds of weather influences (rain, sun, frost, fog, salt, et cetera). The product also has good thermal, acoustic and anti-humidity characteristics. Classic-Panels are suitable for applications both indoors and outdoors. The product is sustainable and re-usable.

I have some graph algorithms that depend on a moderate number of parameters (say 2-6), and which don't always succeed in finding what they want (they want 'good enough' solutions to problems known to be hard, like
mincut/maxflow). I also have a very large family of graphs that I'd like to use the algorithms on.
My current goal is to find the parameter values for which a given algorithm most often succeeds. Unfortunately, the only way I know how to calculate 'success' is to take a graph from my large family and actually run the algorithm. This has two problems: it is computationally expensive, and it gives only an approximation to my real objective function, the true percentage of graphs on which the algorithm succeeds.
The first isn't the end of the world; Nelder-Mead or something similar could work. Is there a variant of this algorithm which would work in my situation? I expect success probabilities far from 0 or 1.

Issues in the Design of
a Value-added Tax
In appraising the economic effects of the value-added tax and thus the desirability of an American VAT, it is generally satisfactory to consider whether the United States should adopt a tax with the economic effects of a federal retail sales tax. Although the two taxes and their economic effects would not be exactly equivalent, they would be sufficiently similar to make the comparison valid for most purposes. Having said that, however, I must emphasize that the administrative techniques employed to collect a VAT do matter. First, the VAT treats capital investment, services, and international trade more satisfactorily than a retail sales tax, at least as levied by the states; this is explained further in chapter 7.
Second, the textbook descriptions of the subtraction and credit methods presented in chapter 3 obscure important differences between the two methods. This chapter explains that in its simplest form—what I call the naive subtraction method—the subtraction method is truly satisfactory only if the VAT is levied at a single rate on a comprehensive tax base. 1 Once multiple rates and exclusions from the tax base enter the picture, this system breaks down.
Some of the defects of the naive subtraction method can be remedied by adopting a more sophisticated version that allows deductions only for purchases on which tax has been paid. But even this sophisticated subtraction-method VAT, which is essentially equivalent to a credit-method VAT, functions satisfactorily only if levied at a uniform rate (with at most a zero rate in addition to the uniform positive rate). Given the likelihood that political pressure for multiple rates would be irresistible, this conclusion throws considerable doubt on the wisdom of enacting a subtraction-method VAT, such as the business transfer tax (BTT) proposed by Senator William Roth.As the Treasury Department concluded in its 1984 assessment of VAT: "While there are different forms of value-added tax and alternative

In general, the present invention relates to a system for monitoring the function of a therapeutic mattress and controller. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mattress monitoring system that monitors the operation of a mattress including controller functions. Most particularly, the present invention relates to a mattress monitoring system that uses a hand held wireless monitor that communicates with a mattress controller to obtain, report, and modify operating settings and other information relating to the mattress and controller.
Therapeutic air mattresses have been used in connection with hospital beds or incorporated therein to provide patient support, reduce the likelihood of decubitus sores, and perform other therapeutic functions. These mattresses are connected to a blower or blower that pressurizes one or more inflatable portions of the mattress for a given therapeutic function. For example, the mattress depicted in U.S. Pat. No. 5,154,900 includes a pair of longitudinally extending bladders that are used to laterally turn a patient in an alternating fashion to reduce the likelihood of decubitus sores. In this application, the blower selectively pressurizes one or both of the bladders to an extent necessary to provide the desired degree of rotation or support. As will be appreciated, the pressure needed to support the patient will vary depending on a given patient's size and weight. Currently, to accommodate different weight capacities separate blowers designed to produce the necessary pressures are provided. It would be desirable to have a system that could be easily reprogrammed to support different weight capacities without having to stock multiple blowers.
In existing mattress systems, the pressure settings may include pressure increment levels that are preprogrammed on to a chip within the mattress controller. For example, an increment of 15 mm/Hg may separate high, medium, and low settings. The base pressure level may also be hard-coded on to the chip. Using the previous example, the lowest setting might be 10 mm/Hg, and the medium and high settings each being 15 mm/Hg increments from the previous setting. To change the settings that are programmed on to the chip, it is generally necessary to remove the chip and have it reprogrammed. This process requires a significant level of technical proficiency. Also, due to their sensitive nature, the chips must be carefully handled, and are prone to damage. If a setting must be changed, the caregivers generally rely on outside service people or the manufacture to reprogram the settings. During that time, the product may be out of use resulting in a cost to the caregiver. To that end, a simpler method of reprogramming pressure values for a given patient would provide greater flexibility to caregivers.
It is desirable to track the function of the mattress, blower, and controller. For example, since therapeutic beds are often operated on a rental basis, it is desirable to know the actual operating time for a given mattress. This time is also useful in determining whether a mattress or blower needs to be repaired or replaced. While such information could be tracked manually, it is highly desirable to have an automated method of monitoring the mattress system.
In light of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mattress monitoring system that provides a simple mechanism for changing pressure settings for a given patient.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a mattress monitoring system that tracks operational data received from the mattress controller and displays it to a user.
For a complete understanding of the objects, techniques and structure of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings wherein:
The monitoring system of the present invention may be used in connection with patient support systems including without limitation hospital beds, mattresses, mattress overlays, therapeutic mattresses and pads, and bed frames. For purposes of example, the system is described in the context of a therapeutic mattress system. To that end, references will be made to use of the system of the present invention in connection with a bed or mattress. These references should be understood as encompassing patient support systems in general as well as the particular examples described.
A mattress monitoring system according to the concepts of the present invention is generally indicated by the numeral 10 in the accompanying drawings. With reference to the example shown in
Controller 25 includes a housing, 26 which may also enclose the blower 23. Controller 25 may include a manually operable control input 27 such as buttons, touch pads, switches, or dials used to control various functions of the blower and/or mattress. For example, the controller 25 may include a control input 27 that provides a range of pre-set pressure levels to be maintained in the chambers 22. The control input may be connected to controller 25 of the mattress system 20. This controller 25 may include a processor 31 having additional inputs 34 and outputs 36, other than those discussed above, corresponding to bed operation. For example, input 34 may be a pressure sensor that monitors the pressure level within a chamber 22 and conveys that information to processor 31. The processor 31 may then send a signal via output 36 to the blower 23 to vary the delivery of air to the chamber 22 and adjust the pressure in the chamber 22. For example, the speed of the blower 23 may be varied to achieve the desired pressure.
The controller 25 may further include a memory 32 that communicates with the processor 31. The memory 32 may be any computer readable medium, including but not limited to RAM, ROM, Flash Rom, EEP Rom, a storage diskette, compact disk, hard drive, chip drive, tape, MEMORY STICK® or any other type of volatile or non-volatile memory. The memory 32 may store data representing a bed identification BI, modes of operation, pressure values, time and date information, bed or mattress position, blower operation information, such as time of activation or deactivation, operating time, alarm conditions, button pushes, and blower speed(s), and other information or functions of interest to the user. For sake of simplicity, these and further data generated by processing these data are collectively are referred to as "control data" and generally indicated by the letters CD. When discussing control data CD for a specific bed identification BI, the control data DC may be referred to as a setting, for example
The memory 32 may store one or more control data CD in a separate field accessible by the processor 31. For example, a first field might include the bed identification BI, such as a name, number, or other readable indicia representing a particular bed; a second field might include a mode of operation, pressure setting, time stamp, date stamp, or blower information. If necessary, another field may be used to correlate plural fields. For example, a third field may correlate first and second fields, such that the bed identification BI is associated through third field with the other control data CD found in the second field. Still another field may store data producedby comparing control data stored in the monitor's memory 44 with control data CD stored in the controller's memory 32.
The controller 25 may further monitor the use of the control input 27. For example, in a system that uses buttons for the control input 27 (
The controller 25 may also include embedded software that creates a data structure, which would be stored in memory 32, for selected control data CD that are of interest to the user. For example, the data structure may record hours of operation, operational settings, such as pressure, turn interval, degree of turn, date and time stamps for each operation, and any alarm conditions occurring during operation. The data structure created by the software may then be stored in memory 32 for later retrieval, as described more completely below. The embedded software could be implemented using a variety of high or low-level programming languages, including but not limited to assembly, C, C++, Fortran or the like.
The controller 25 is adapted to communicate with a portable monitor, generally indicated by the numeral 40. To that end, both the controller 25 and monitor 40 respectively include a wireless transceiver 35, 42. The transceivers 35, 42 may suitably use any known wireless communication protocol, such as light, radio, or sonic waves, infrared; RF; or other signal technologies. The controller 25 may be made compliant with various industry standards so that it can work with a variety of devices. For example, for infrared devices, an IrDA compliant system may be implemented in controller 25 to work with various infrared devices.
A suitable monitor 40 would include a processor 43 connected to memory 44 and the transceiver 35, 42. Monitor 40 may further include a system for conveying information to the user including audio, visual, mechanical, or other means, collectively referred to as a "display" 45, herein. In the embodiment depicted in the Figures, a visually perceived display screen 46 is used. In this example, the monitor 40 is a hand-held computer, which incorporates all of the above described components in a single hand-held device, such as a personal digital assistant, but other devices having the suitable processing, memory, and communication abilities could be used or a custom device constructed for use as a monitor 40. It will be appreciated that the above described components do not have to be incorporated into a single unit.
The monitor 40 is adapted to selectively transmit or receive control data CD to or from the controller 25. For example, the control data CD might include a bed identifier BI, such as a serial number (
The above steps may be programmed into the memory 44 of the monitor 40 or contained on removable memory, such as, a portable storage disk, MEMORY STICK®, portable hard drive, Flash Rom, EEP Rom, or other portable storage media that may be used with one or more monitors 40. The monitor 40 may be adapted to synchronize with a computer 50 to provide greater functionality to the user. For example, the monitor 40 may be adapted to transmit the settings and data log to the computer 50. The computer 50, in turn, may be adapted to take the settings and data logs and generate various reports of control data CD, as desired by the user.
For example, the computer 50 may display usage for an air mattress organized by serial number. These reports may track and update the usage of a given air mattress and control unit 25 over its entire life span or for a period of time selected by the user.
The computer 50 may send information to the monitor 40 using the wireless communication methods described above or a serial, USB or other physical connection. Again, this information may be keyed to the air mattress serial number, such that specific settings for individual air mattresses may conveniently be updated at a single computer 50 and then the portable monitor 40 is used to transfer this information to the individual air mattress controller 25.
One example of the method of operation stored in monitor's memory will now be described with reference to
To facilitate use of the monitor 40, the monitor 40 may be provided with a graphical user interface 60 (
It will be appreciated that the monitor 40 may be adapted to include one or more of these methods for selecting a given air mattress 21. After selecting a given air mattress 21, the graphical user interface 60 displays selected information about the air mattress 21. For example, as shown, information stored within the monitor's memory 44 for a given mattress 21 may be displayed on a separate screen or window (
If the user authorizes the update, the databases or data structures within memory 44 are updated and the new information is displayed on the graphical user interface 60.
If a mattress is no longer in use or the user wishes to clear this mattress from memory 44, the graphical user interface 60 may provide the user with the option of deleting the mattress 21 from memory 44 by selecting the "delete bed" command on the menu of the graphical user interface 60. Also, the graphical user interface 60 provides a "delete all beds" command to completely clear the monitor's memory 44.
Additional screens may be provided to display the control data CD and allow the user to alter this control data CD on the graphical user interface 60 and authorize updating of the control data CD within the controller's memory 32 by transferring the altered control data CD to the controller 25. In this way, the control data CD including operational settings, such as pressure values, blower speeds etc . . . within controller 25 may be reset without the difficulty of removing a control chip and reprogramming it.
A method of setting up a bed is outlined in
The monitor 40 may be used to retrieve and alter control data CD for a selected bed. This control data CD may be retrieved from memory 44 or memory 32. When retrieving control data CD from memory 32, monitor 40 prompts the controller 25 via transceivers 35, 42. In the example shown, the graphical user interface 60 includes a pull down menu with the command "get setup" which may be selected by touching the screen 46. In the graphical user interface 60, shown, the control data CD is displayed with send and load commands indicated on the screen. By selecting the load command, the user will load the monitor 40 with default bed settings for the particular bed from the monitor's memory 44. To cause the user to view all other information before sending or loading control data CD, these commands may be located near the bottom of the graphical user interface 60. After loading the control data CD, the user may be given the choice of keeping the control data CD or returning to the previous settings. In the example shown, a "done getting setups" window (
To alter the control data CD, the user may enter new values on the setup screen and then select "send" (
According to the concepts of the present invention, a method of reviewing the history of each bed may also be provided. This method may be stored in any computer readable medium and may include the programmable steps outlined as an example in
If the user wishes to clear the bed's history, removing it from memory, a "clear history" command may be provided in the pull down menu (
As depicted in the accompanying Figures, the graphical user interface 60 may be provided on a display screen of portable monitor 40, such as a personal digital assistant, hand held computer, or cell phone to provide the user with the greatest convenience. In addition, by using a hand held device, the user may use the same device to change the settings on a number of beds stored in its memory. This eliminates the cumbersome process of individually removing chips and reprogramming their settings. In addition to providing a more convenient process for monitoring and setting multiple beds, the user has greater flexibility in setting up a number of beds. The system permits the caregiver to adjust settings to accommodate different weight capacities without changing blowers. In this way, it is not necessary to stock multiple blowers that are programmed for different weight capacities. Also, when system 10 includes pressure feedback, the controller 25 detects the actual pressure and adjusts the blower speed to account for the difference in the actual pressure and target pressure. In this way, blower decline, which would cause existing systems to be inaccurate i.e. the target pressure would not equal the actual pressure, is overcome by using the controller 25 to adjust the blower speed in response to changes in the actual pressure.
In light of the foregoing, it should thus be evident that a mattress monitoring system according to the concepts of the present invention substantially improves the art. While, in accordance with the patent statutes, only the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail hereinabove, the present invention is not to be limited thereto or thereby. It will be appreciated that various modifications may be made to the above-described embodiment without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, to appreciate the scope of the invention, reference should be made to the following claims.
