Corinne Rinne doesn't take a typical approach to running races.
Corinne Rinne doesn't take a typical approach to running races.
That urge most runners have to sprint as hard as possible at the start and hopefully make it across the finish line without collapsing? Well, Rinne puts a little more thought into it than that.
"Corinne's a really smart runner," said Blue Springs girls cross country coach Joe Schur. "I'll ask her what her race strategy would be and almost always what she would tell me would be something that I was going to tell her."
That approach boosted the junior to one of the top local state finishes as she came in 60th with a time of 20 minutes, 26.78 seconds, and it helped her snag The Examiner's female Cross Country Runner of the Year award.
For Rinne, cross country is about much more than running. It's about knowing her opponents, studying the course and applying the strategy that will be most effective.
One of the best examples of Rinne's method came during this year's Blue Springs Invitational at Lake Jacomo. Rinne was slow off the line, running her first mile at a moderate pace. It being the first 5-kilometer race of the season, a throng of runners burst off to unsustainable tempos and Rinne slowly started picking them off one by one over the final two miles. She crossed sixth with a time of 20:34.
It's not always easy implementing that technique, Rinne said, but it comes down to trusting her abilities.
"It's hard when you see all those people pass you and there's that moment of, 'Oh my gosh,'" Rinne said. "But I just try to think, there are people that go out too fast and I've ran this pace before and it's worked. Just stick to that. That's what I replay through my head so I don't freak myself out."
Schur said he hasn't coached too many runners who understand their potential and know their limits like Rinne. Each week during the season Schur has his runners fill out goal sheets the day before a meet. Nearly every time, Rinne would be within five seconds of her target time.
"Things like that, where she was always so close to picking exactly what she could do, were just amazing," Schur said.
Rinne also progressed throughout the season, peaking with a personal best 19:40 and 16th-place finish at sectional. Not bad considering she never cracked 21 minutes and wasn't even in the top 50 in previous seasons.
Her season was especially satisfying since her sophomore year was sideswiped by a hip injury.
"It was hard to deal with because everyone was having all this success and I was stuck inside not knowing what to do," Rinne said. "It took a toll on how I looked at races after that because I was never happy with what I was doing. It was like, 'This is where I was (as a freshman) and this is where I am now.'
Page 2 of 2 - "But the team was always behind me. It eventually worked out, but it was stressful."
Rinne noted that while she was personally discouraged during that injury-plagued year, she was still proud that the Cats were able to take a team to state, where they finished 11th. Getting an entire squad back to Jefferson City is already on her list of goals heading into her senior campaign.
"She's just a great kid to coach and fun to be around," Schur said. "She's just one of those kids that sets a great example for the rest of our program."

Changes in store for Lulu's cafe
For the sixth straight year, October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com, presented by Concordia University. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, delectable features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food, as well as the winners of our "Best of Dining 2012."
Lulu, 2265 S. Howell Ave., is remodeling the cafe side of the space, which also includes an adjoined bar and restaurant. Co-owner Sarah Jonas says the cafe – which opened in 2001 – closed yesterday but will reopen in about four weeks.
"Should be a nice, new, fun space for holiday parties," says Jonas. "We're putting in a little bar and more tables to give it more of a lounge feel."
The restaurant and bar side is open and will not undergo changes at this time.

One month after the study rats suffered an induced stroke (equal to about a year for humans), some were injected with TGF alpha. Within a month, they had regained nearly all their motor function, hopping up with both legs in the cylinder exercise and not favoring a side in the directional test. Rats that did not receive treatment improved just 30 percent.
Scientists examined the rats' brains and found that TGF alpha was stimulating neuron growth. First, it prompted adult stem cells in the brain to divide, creating more cells. Those cells then turned into brain cells and moved to the injured part of the brain, replacing neurons lost to the stroke. These new neurons, the scientists believe, helped restore motor function.
"It's becoming more and more clear that the brain is like any other organ: It has a lot of potential to regenerate," said Darius Gleason, a developmental & cell biology graduate student who worked on the study. "We are just emulating nature by giving a little nudge to what the brain is trying to do itself."
In the second study, appearing online Jan. 11 in the Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases, scientists placed TGF alpha in the rats' noses, simulating a nasal spray. They used a slightly different chemical version of the protein to render it more stable on its journey to the brain. After a month, the injured rats had regained 70 percent of their function, indicating that the intranasal method also works well.
"We saw the same phenomena," Fallon said. "It wasn't as profound, but we still ended up with very significant behavioral improvements and the same regenerative anatomical process."

3. Let Cleaning Products Sit for Longer.
Many cleaning products will actually work better if you let them rest before you wipe up. Let bathroom cleaners and kitchen appliance cleaners sit overnight and wipe them up in the morning. It makes a huge difference!
4. Clean Up While You're Cooking.
My mom's favorite tip! Don't leave that huge mess in the kitchen for after dinner– clean it up while you go. Wipe up spills when they happen. Hand wash those dishes while your food is baking. You get the idea.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] A new study finds that mice have a distinct neural subsystem that links the nose to the brain and is associated with instinctually important smells such as those emitted by predators. That insight, published online this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, prompts the question whether mice and other mammals have specially hardwired neural circuitry to trigger instinctive behavior in response to certain smells.
In the series of experiments and observations described in the paper, the authors found that nerve cells in the nose that express members of the gene family of trace amine-associated receptors (TAAR) have several key biological differences from the much more common and diverse neurons that express members of the olfactory receptor gene family. Those other nerve cells detect a much broader range of smells, said corresponding author Gilad Barnea, the Robert and Nancy Carney Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University.
The differences between TAAR neurons and olfactory receptor neurons led Barnea and his co-authors to conclude that they form an independent subsystem for certain smells.
"Our observations suggest that the TAAR-expressing sensory neurons constitute a distinct olfactory subsystem that extracts specific environmental cues that then elicit innate responses," Barnea said.
Different circuits and genes
The newly found differences include the way TAAR neurons are wired to structures called glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, which is the brain area that initially processes smells. The glomeruli relay smell signals deeper into the brain where the perception of smell occurs and behavioral responses are initiated.
Graduate students Mark A. Johnson and Lulu Tsai at the Barnea laboratory visualized TAAR neurons in the nose and their projections to the olfactory bulb by generating specific antibodies that could detect TAA

Premier print fabric, good quality and super fast shipping. Thank you. 10.3.2015
This damask print is lovely. I've ordered it in almost every color. The navy is one of my favorites. And I really like the twill fabric. 10.2.2015
I wanted to use this vinyl for the bottom portion and straps of a new laptop tote for work. I think if you are using vinyl for something like that you really need to see it in person. It's a nice soft vinyl with a good texture and using a stiff interfacing it can definitely be used for a tote. However, the color was a bit darker than what I thought and I don't really like the pattern seeing it in the larger piece of fabric for a tote. I think it could look really nice for a chair or other upholstery project, though, so I will probably end up using it for that. I was trying to find something that looked more like leather and this does. 10.2.2015
I don't recommend this piping for a decorative trim "piping". It is too thin, and a bit difficult to work with. 10.2.2015

Hub Gear Road Bike Conversion - With pictures!
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Thought I'd show off my new(ish) ride....
If anyone's been wondering, how could I make my hipster tastic fixed gear a bit more practical? Here's one option; add a hub gear!
The original frame was a Lemond Fillmore from 2008, with 120mm spacing and track drop-outs.
As you can see, the hub gear is operated using one clamp-on cable stop, and a sturmey archer bar-end shifter mounted 'on the wrong way' (for left-handed shifting) with the gear cable almost completely housed. Other than that, one cable-tie on the down-tube, and a couple by the bottom bracket, and done!
What do you think?
Other than a 'it can be done' post. If my new work lacks shower facilities, I may be putting it up for sale. Given that other than the frame it bears little resemblance to a Lemond Fillmore, I'm having trouble valuing it:
It's specs:
Sturmey Archer SRF 3 laced to DT Swiss R450 - New in October 2010 - <300 miles
Mavic Aksium Silver 2008 - New in May 2011 (good ole CRC!)
Lemond Fillmore Steel frameset (with chips and scuffs from 3 years service!)
Speedium 2 Tyres - New May 2011
Everything else as stock (i.e. low end Bontrager)
What's it worth? Or is it all subjective (i.e. nothing!)

Anatomy of a Sword
Anatomy of a Sword
The sword consists of the blade and the hilt. The term scabbard applies to the case that covers the sword blade when not in use.
Three types of attacks can be performed with the blade: striking, cutting, and thrusting. The blade can be double-edged or single-edged, the latter often having a secondary "false edge" near the tip. When handling the sword, the long or true edge is the one used for straight cuts or strikes, while the short or false edge is the one used for backhand strikes. Some hilt designs define which edge is the 'long' one, while more symmetrical designs allow the long and short edges to be inverted by turning the sword.
The blade may have grooves known as fullers for lightening and stiffening the blade while allowing it to retain its strength, similar to the structure of a steel "I" beam used in construction. The blade may taper more or less sharply towards a point, used for thrusting. The part of the blade between the Center of Percussion (CoP) and the point is called the foible (weak) of the blade, and that between the Center of Balance (CoB) and the hilt is the forte (strong). The section in between the CoP and the CoB is the middle. The ricasso or shoulder identifies a short section of blade immediately forward of the guard that is left completely unsharpened, and can be gripped with a finger to increase tip control. Many swords have no ricasso. On some large weapons, such as the German Zweihänder, a leather cover surrounded the ricasso, and a swordsman might grip it in one hand to wield the weapon more easily in close-quarter combat. The ricasso normally bears the maker's mark. On Japanese blades this mark appears on the tang (part of the blade that extends into the hilt) under the grip.
In the case of a rat-tail tang, the maker welds a thin rod to the end of the blade at the crossguard; this rod goes through the grip (in 20th-century and later construction). This occurs most commonly in decorative replicas, or cheap sword-like objects. Traditional sword-making does not use this construction method, which does not serve for traditional sword usage as the sword can easily break at the welding point.
In traditional construction, the swordsmith forged the tang as a part of the sword rather than welding it on. Traditional tangs go through the grip: this gives much more durability than a rat-tail tang. Swordsmiths peened such tangs over the end of the pommel, or occasionally welded the hilt furniture to the tang and threaded the end for screwing on a pommel. This style is often referred to as a "narrow" or "hidden" tang. Modern, less traditional, replicas often feature a threaded pommel or a pommel nut which holds the hilt together and allows dismantling.
In a "full" tang (most commonly used in knives and machetes), the tang has about the same width as the blade, and is generally the same shape as the grip. In European or Asian swords sold today, many advertised "full" tangs may actually involve a forged rat-tail tang.
From the 18th century onwards, swords intended for slashing, i.e., with blades ground to a sharpened edge, have been curved with the radius of curvature equal to the distance from the swordman's body at which it was to be used. This allowed the blade to have a sawing effect rather than simply delivering a heavy cut. European swords, intended for use at arm's length, had a radius of curvature of around a meter. Middle Eastern swords, intended for use with the arm bent, had a smaller radius.
The hilt is the collective term of the parts allowing the handling and control of the blade, consisting of the grip, the pommel, and a simple or elaborate guard, which in post-Viking Age swords could consist of only a crossguard (called cruciform hilt). The pommel, in addition to improving the sword's balance and grip, can also be used as a blunt instrument at close range. It may also have a tassel or sword knot.
The tang consists of the extension of the blade structure through the hilt.

The United States and its allies from the Group of Eight are meeting in Washington this week to improve international cooperation on counterterrorism and anti-crime measures, including moves to stop the use of fertilizer in roadside bombs and measures to combat the growing encroachment of Latin American drug cartels in West Africa.
The State Department said that the G-8 Roma-Lyon Group, which focuses on anti-crime and counterterrorism initiatives, will meet Tuesday through Thursday.
The U.S. is represented by Brian Nichols, principal deputy assistant secretary of state for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs, and Anne Witkowsky, acting principal deputy coordinator for counterterrorism.
The G-8 nations are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the U.S. The European Union is represented in the group, but it cannot host summits.
Airline discriminated against Christian staffer
LONDON — Religious freedom is a right, but not an absolute one, Europe's top court said Tuesday, ruling that British Airways discriminated against a Christian employee by making her remove her crucifix, but backing a U.K. charity that fired a marriage counselor who refused to give sex therapy to gay couples.
In judgments welcomed by civil liberties groups but condemned by religious advocates, the European Court of Human Rights said freedom of religion is "an essential part of the identity of believers and one of the foundations of pluralistic, democratic societies."
Documents: Suspect in rape is a juvenile
NEW DELHI — Documents presented in a hearing Tuesday indicate that a suspect in the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a New Delhi bus in December was a juvenile at the time of the attack, a court official present at the hearing said.
Two principals from the suspect's elementary school showed paperwork indicating that the suspect was a juvenile at the time of the attack, which would make him ineligible for the death penalty, the official said.
A judge is expected to rule on the suspect's age in a Jan. 28 hearing, the official said, adding that the suspect did not appear in court Tuesday.
The suspect, who is not being identified by The Associated Press because he says he is 17, would face three years in a reform facility if convicted as a juvenile. A conviction as an adult could lead to his execution.

To mark the launch, the Chinese space agency and China Central Television (CCTV) released aproud animation, set to rousing orchestral strains, of the "Heavenly Palace" thrusting skyward, lofting above the Earth and docking with a Shenzou crew capsule.
The only problem being that the backing music in question is America the Beautiful – more or less an unofficial national anthem of the United States. The Guardian spotted the blunder after picking up the video from the Reuters news agency while covering the launch.
America the Beautiful, which was composed by a New York church organist in 1882, has long been a favourite of US patriots. It has been proposed as the national hymn and a replacement for The Star-Spangled Banner as anthem.
It could hardly be more different from the music associated with the launch of China's first rocket in 1970. That satellite transmitted the Cultural Revolution anthem, The East is Red, extolling the virtues of the Communist party and Chairman Mao.
The choice of soundtrack for the Tiangong launch raised several questions. Is this the work of an idealist seeking to usher in a new era of transPacific cooperation, a nationalist who wants to colonise American culture as well as outer space, or simply a propaganda gaffe?
After co-opting the right's racial language and strategy, and having their philosophy of white victimhood adopted by the Tea Party and fully propagandized by think tanks such as the Hoover Institute and AEI, and broadcast 24 x 7 by Faux News…
White supremacists are ready to make another move to the mainstream, just as the Third KKK did in the 1920's.
One of the impacts of the right's racial propaganda machine is this – which is summarized from a llstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor survey here.
The issue of , particularly African American influence in the political arena is likely to get even more toxic, considering roughly 1/3 of the 30,000 or so locally elected officials is African-American. This means politically, we should see a rise in the number of Afican American candidates to Federal Positions – and President Obama and guys like Deval Patrick are likely to be just the leading edge of a very big wave. That doesn' t mean that the majority of elected positions in America will be held by black folks, or even minorities – just that the chances of the Senate remaining an all white bastion, and the next black President may not be as far away as many think.
Which brings us to what I call… "Fear of a Black Planet".
Add to the growing list of candidates considering a bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 America's most famous white-power advocate: David Duke.
A former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, member of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Republican executive-committee chairman in his district until 2000, Duke has a significant following online. His videos go viral. This month, he's launching a tour of 25 states to explore how much support he can garner for a potential presidential bid. He hasn't considered running for serious office since the early '90s, when he won nearly 40 percent of the vote in his bid for Louisiana governor. But like many "white civil rights advocates," as he describes himself to The Daily Beast, 2012 is already shaping up to be a pivotal year.
Former (and current) Neo Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Confederates, and other representatives of the many wings of the "white nationalist" movement are starting to file paperwork and print campaign literature for offices large and small, pointing to rising unemployment, four years with an African-American president, and rampant illegal immigration as part of a growing mound of evidence that white people need to take a stand.

Great article over at Truthout on how Faux News manipulates their audience. They list 14 (actually 15) techniques utilized by Faux to manipulate and control the opinions of their most slavish viewers.
The first steps in the making of "Useful Fools" really are –
1. To convince the recruits/fodder that the are party to information no one else has
2. To convince the recruits/fodder they are being persecuted by a large and powerful enemy
3. To convince the recruits/fodder that the "enemy" is morally bankrupt, and thus lies – and you hold the only source of truth. Once this is accomplished, it doesn't really matter what the facts are (Birthers for instance) – the Useful Fool will hold onto the lie.
4. To convince the recruits/fodder that they share the same group values – even if they didn't have those values before being brought into the group starting with something no one is going to evince disagreement with, such as "Mom and Apple Pie" and moving from that base to more morally questionable edicts. Thus Hitler's killing Jews becomes a patriotic act. In he modern context, "Liberals" "Don't believe in God", "Kill babies with abortion", "Want to take your hard earned money", and "All black people are on welfare".
5. And lastly to put a "Wall" around the group by defacto declaring those who are fully indoctrinated are "family".
Worked for Adolph Hitler… And it worked for Jim Jones. It works in the modern conservative "movement".
So… The Truthout List…
1. Panic Mongering. This goes one step beyond simple fear mongering. With panic mongering, there is never a break from the fear. The idea is to terrify and terrorize the audience during every waking moment. From Muslims to swine flu to recession to homosexuals to immigrants to the rapture itself, the belief over at Fox seems to be that if your fight-or-flight reflexes aren't activated, you aren't alive. This of course raises the question: why terrorize your own audience? Because it is the fastest way to bypasses the rational brain. In other words, when people are afraid, they don't think rationally. And when they can't think rationally, they'll believe anything.
2. Character Assassination/Ad Hominem. Fox does not like to waste time debating the idea. Instead, they prefer a quicker route to dispensing with their opponents: go after the person's credibility, motives, intelligence, character, or, if necessary, sanity. No category of character assassination is off the table and no offense is beneath them. Fox and like-minded media figures also use ad hominem attacks not just against individuals, but entire categories of people in an effort to discredit the ideas of every person who is seen to fall into that category, e.g. "liberals," "hippies," "progressives" etc. This form of argument – if it can be called that – leaves no room for genuine debate over ideas, so by definition, it is undemocratic. Not to mention just plain crass. Read the rest of this entry »
This one is a riot! If you have ever talked to a conservative across the WWW, or read a line or two of their Jockey Suited black Proxies…
You've heard this story.
This is probably the prototype for conservative propaganda and doublethink – and in the late 80's and 90's was popularized by conservative "think" tanks. The beauty of it is, at least from the conservative meisters viewpoint – the more racist a conservative is, the more likely they are to take this as truth. And thus it is effective propaganda as it leverages already existing prejudices and fears.
This is satire – and it's great satire!
It has taken a while, but there has been a dramatic change of public opinion about the Tea Party, and it's sugar daddies – not the least driven by folks experiencing exactly what having these folks in power means.
After successfully buying a movement, and election, and even judges, the Koch brothers juggernaut hit a brick wall. That brick wall is when average Americans actually had to face, and pay for the bigotry and insane policies of the Republican Party.
The counter-revolution is underway.
Faux News and Tea Bagger favorite pundits are falling in terms of public opinion faster than rocks…
…Glenn Beck's ratings at Fox News continued their steady decline, falling to an all-time low last month. He has lost 39 percent of his viewers in a year and 48 percent of the prime 25-to-54 age demographic. His strenuous recent efforts to portray the Egyptian revolution as an apocalyptic leftist-jihadist conspiracy have inspired more laughs than adherents.
Sarah Palin's tailspin is also pronounced. It can be seen in polls, certainly: the ABC News-Washington Post survey found that 30 percent of Americans approved of her response to the Tucson massacre and 46 percent did not. (Obama's numbers in the same poll were 78 percent favorable, 12 percent negative.) But equally telling was the fate of a Palin speech scheduled for May at a so-called Patriots & Warriors Gala in Glendale, Colo.
Tickets to see Palin, announced at $185 on Jan. 16, eight days after Tucson, were slashed to half-price in early February. Then the speech was canceled altogether, with the organizers blaming "safety concerns resulting from an onslaught of negative feedback." But when The Denver Post sought out the Glendale police chief, he reported there had been no threats or other causes for alarm. The real "negative feedback" may have been anemic ticket sales, particularly if they were to cover Palin's standard $100,000 fee.
What may at long last be dawning on some Republican grandees is that a provocateur who puts her political adversaries in the cross hairs and then instructs her acolytes to "RELOAD" frightens most voters. Read the rest of this entry »
First time I ran into the term "Radio Rwanda" describing the Clearchannel network which inflicts Rush Limbaugh on America's airwaves through it's near monopolistic control of broadcast stations, was over at The Field Negro's spot. I don't know if Field was the author of that comparison – but however Field came up with it – it is deadly accurate.
Once upon a time, one of the cultural joys of travelling in America was to listen to the local radio stations. They were refections of local culture, which often had playlists and popular songs significantly different from those in other towns and cities. You had "local hits" which were songs, sometimes done by local or regional groups which became popular regionally – and sometimes never caught on nationally.
Since this was waaaaay before the Ipod, lugging a suitcase full of 8 Tracks just wan't an option – so you tuned the dial and went with the flow. You often discovered new artists, and new musical tastes on AM – and late at night you could sometimes catch a station from a far away location on the old AM radio and listen in for a while to what was hot in a far away city.
Back in the days when the Communists controlled Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, there were only two radio stations – both controlled by the State. If you didn't like what was on one station, you could tune to the other to listen to someone else reading exactly the same script. Not much different from conservative America today, and the propaganda system structured by Republicans in erasing "Fairness" rules and local ownership constructing a modernized copy of the old Soviet system…
But there is hope for the radio wasteland!
Today a bill to expand community radio nationwide – the Local Community Radio Act – passed the U.S. Senate, thanks to the bipartisan leadership of Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and John McCain (R-AZ). This follows Friday afternoon's passage of the bill in the House of Representatives, led by Representatives Mike Doyle (D-PA) and Lee Terry (R-NE). The bill now awaits the President's signature.
These Congressional champions for community radio joined with the thousands of grassroots advocates and dozens of public interest groups who have fought for ten years to secure this victory for local media. In response to overwhelming grassroots pressure, Congress has given the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a mandate to license thousands, of new community stations nationwide. This bill marks the first major legislative success for the growing movement for a more democratic media system in the U.S. Read the rest of this entry »

So, I'm using Site Origin Page Builder, which I generally love. Lately, however, when adding new pages, which tend to be photo-heavy, the page builder and admin panel becomes extreeeeeeeemely slow. Like, when I upload a picture into a cell, it takes more than a minute to confirm that it's added, and sometimes the page just crashes without loading. It's a huge problem, because it's taking me about 1/2 an hour to upload just a segment of photos and their descriptions on a page. :(
I am frustrated, because the structure of my site isn't conducive to galleries. I need to be able to add or subtract any picture and description I want, at any time, without messing up the layout of the entire page. I thought putting individual pictures and their descriptions in individual cells would work, and it does, but it's unbearably slow. The front end of the site loads beautifully, so I don't understand what the problem is. Is there just a limit to how many cells I can reasonably have?
This is a product site, and I really need to get through this roadblock so that I can take it live. Any and all suggestions welcome. Is it unreasonable to think that I can have a bunch of pictures in their own cells? :( If it is, what can I do instead?

From NBA.com: Quiet Evans Letting His Game Do All The Talking
You may or may not be familiar with Jimmy Spencer. He does the home game recaps for Kings games on NBA.com and he's also a man about town. He's also one of my groomsmen.
Even if you don't know who Jimmy is, you probably have heard of Tyreke Evans. He's fairly new to town but he's made quite the name for himself. Well, Mr. Spencer spent a day with Tyreke and wrote a fantastic piece about it for NBA.com.
When video game LeBron pounds his chest, so does Evans. When animated LeBron scores on a difficult shot, Evans gives his buddy a serious look and consoles him: "That's tough. All you can do is shake your head on that one."
When virtual Kobe starts fouling at the end of a game, Evans laughs and says, "Geez, don't get all mad Kobe, it's just a game."

In 2006, the North Syracuse Central School District saw enrollment hit a record high of 10,035.
Now, for the third year in a row, those numbers are declining.
According to a report presented by Superintendent Jerome Melvin at the NSCSD Board of Education meeting Monday Sept. 14, total enrollment for the 2009-10 school year is 9,442, or 63 fewer students than projected last year.
"In three years, we've lost about 600 kids," Melvin said. "We don't know where they're going, just that they're leaving this district."
The report, based on attendance numbers from Sept. 10, revealed that 150 fewer students are enrolled in the district now than were a year ago. In October of 2008, the district projected a total K through 12 enrollment of 9,508; the biggest differences between projected enrollment and actual enrollment can be found at the middle school level, where there were 65 fewer students enrolled than projected.
"Our enrollment decline continues to be significant," Melvin said. "Despite all the new housing, our enrollment numbers are similar to what was experienced in the late 1980s and early 1990s."
Despite the drop in numbers, the district's schools, especially the high school, remain overcrowded. That problem was to be addressed by recommendations of the district's Demographics and Facilities Utilization Committee later this fall. However, as the committee's recommendations will be based on two-year-old numbers, Melvin said any recommendation will have to be studied carefully before being implemented.
"It's a real dilemma," Melvin said. "We just don't know what's going to happen."
Regents results
Also at the BOE meeting, Melvin presented the results from the June Regents exams taken by students at Cicero-North Syracuse High School. Eight subjects -- English, algebra, global studies, living environment, earth science, French and U.S. history -- posted increases in the overall passing percentage, while Math B (where a new exam was offered for the first time) and physics scores dropped.

If the reason the Lane County commissioners are not releasing the Richardson report is to avoid lawsuits, what are they calling the court proceedings filed over the report first by the local paper and now by former commissioner Bill Fleenor?
My friend is in her late 20s and married, and she has two little kids. Her husband had a rough childhood and has some issues. Since their most recent child was conceived, they have not had sex. He says he believes there is a difference between a lover and a mother, and he refuses to have sex with his wife now because he thinks of her as a mother to their children and not as a lover. She is struggling with this and doesn't know what to do. Any advice?
Miserable Undersexed Mom
Last month the east Delta Ponds froze and then seven inches of snow fell, making for a rare and beautiful scene. When the snow melted on a single warm day, the ponds revealed dozens of patches of tapering, branching, clear lines radiating outwards from one point. These patterns were evenly spread across the ponds, three to 10 feet in diameter, over inch-thick ice. The mechanism behind the formation of these patterns is a topic of debate among my geophysical friends.
I am a product of Oregon's school funding crisis. I was in first grade when Oregon voters approved Measure 5, the constitutional amendment that shifted the financing of public education from local communities to the state by capping property taxes in Oregon. For the next 12 years I saw my education opportunities diminish as teachers and school programs were continuously cut because of inadequate funding from the state.
Humor is everywhere. This came from a church bulletin: "The Low Self-Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday from 7 to 8:30 pm. Please use the back door."
Is there a term that is preferred to "transgendered"? I recently wrote an article that described a MTF person I know as transgendered. The article was positive about transgendered persons I have known (she is one of many). Upon seeing a draft prior to publication, this person flipped out so hard that I felt compelled to cut off all contact with her. I also killed the article. One of her complaints was that I used the word "transgendered" to describe her, and she identifies as something other than that.
This year marks my 30th year in Oregon. To celebrate, I took in a double feature which exemplifies the two poles of my Oregonian experience. 12 Years a Slave and Gravity, both films helmed by directors of color. 12 Years served to ground me in reality, while Gravity took me to my favorite fantasy: a world without borders, floating free among the stars. The reality of space, though, is that it has no breathable atmosphere, extremes of hot and cold and is always trying to kill you, nothing personal. Same with Oregon; sometimes we don't like your kind.
Looking for a needle in a haystack is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Are you listening, NSA?
The recent celebration of Occupy Wall Street's (OWS) second anniversary triggered a series of blogs with pronouncements that ranged from "Occupy is dead," to critiques of its organizational (non)structure, to suggestions how we should act in order to succeed (by those who claim we have failed). The question is, of course, how do we define success and what is Occupy's aim? Ultimately, Occupy can succeed only if people provide support by donating time, money, materials, ideas and good will.
I'm a 34-year-old straight female. I am morbidly obese and have been for most of my life. I have never dated. I've been on a couple of dates, and only when I asked the guy out. From reading your columns and books, I am aware that some men are attracted to fat women. But since I never received any real sexual attention as a teen/twentysomething, I don't know how to deal with men in a sexual way or in a way that would develop into a relationship. I also think my (lack of) experience has caused me to become bitter toward men.
I read that some countries are switching to plastic money. It's about time. The stuff people will spend it on has been made out of plastic for years.
DEAR READERS: Sophia Wallace, the NYC-based conceptual artist behind the amazing Cliteracy project, was a guest on my podcast recently. (To hear our conversation, go to savagelovecast.com and look up episode 371.) During our chat, Wallace told me that a column I wrote years ago about the importance of the clit had a big impact on her as a teenager — in fact, she still had the copy of the column that she had clipped out of the newspaper.
Rush Limbaugh's calling Pope Francis a Marxist for criticizing capitalism is no big deal. That's just Rush getting bent out of shape when he feels someone has attacked his religion.
I've talked to my girlfriends, my mom, and his mom, but I need some unbiased advice. I'm a 28-year-old woman in a relationship for 3.5 years with a wonderful man, also 28. I hit the jackpot: He is loving, sweet, kind, driven, active, handsome, generous, etc. We're very committed to each other and planning our future together. We've lived together for 2.5 years. Life is so great! Enter the issue: We've been discussing marriage since January of this year. Until May, he was opposed to it.
EW ran a feature on LCC's "Creativity for Peace" program Oct. 17, including a photo of Israeli and Palestinian exchange students smiling happily in a semi-hug. It looked benign and hopeful. Until one looks more closely. The headline read, "Peacemakers: LCC Students from Israel and Palestine." The story described how two young women from "opposite sides of a conflict" are being prepared "to pave the way for peace in their communities and across borders." Unfortunately, this introduction seriously misrepresents the reality of the Israel/Palestine relationship.
After this past weekend, I'm glad that most folks in the climate-change movement have stopped referring to it as global warming.
I'm a straight woman who loves my boyfriend, but sex isn't a priority for me. His sex drive, on the other hand, is ridiculous. He gets very upset when I don't have sex with him and accuses me of not being interested in him anymore, which isn't the case. I just can't fuck on demand! Most people would probably say that my boyfriend is an insensitive asshole for pressuring me for sex. Except this was a switcheroo exercise: I, the girlfriend, want more sex. He, my boyfriend, doesn't see sex as a priority.
Darkness comes early in December, now that midwinter is upon us. Remembering that Solstice isn't until four days before Christmas, long nights are going to be around for a couple of months. We treasure clear, chilly nights when the stars put on a show from early in the evening. I mark the yearly cycle with only one constellation: Orion of Winter. It is the easiest to recognize, after the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia. Orion has three bright stars decorating his belt; his sword marked by four close, smaller stars angling off below.
Saving energy and improving energy efficiency is vital to restoring the environment, reducing carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change and creating sustainable jobs. It's being debated all over the world, but the debate over how to get there has left out something more meaningful to a lot of Lane County residents: saving them money.
I'm a bi woman in my mid-20s in a great monogamish relationship with my straight boyfriend. We occasionally invite other women into our sex life, which is really enjoyable for both of us. He isn't threatened by other women, only by other men, which isn't an issue since I'm not interested in any other men. So on the occasions when we find a lady we're both into who's also into us, anything goes, and it's awesome. We've hooked up with both friends and strangers, but always as a couple because it makes us both feel safe.
Global warming is the most serious crisis that humanity has ever faced. The world is headed directly towards a cliff in the dark: We know the cliff is ahead of us, but we don't know how soon we might reach it. Some people think that the countries of the world will not be able to do what is necessary to avoid millions of people suffering the death penalty as a result of global warming. When they express their defeatist attitude to others, they make things harder for those of us actively fighting global warming. Nobody can predict what the future will bring.
The story that recycled bottles are made into new ones turns out to be a myth. It ranks up there with the one that the toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper.
My custom each year in this month of November
Is taking time out to reflect and remember
To treasure my blessings, to offer my thanks
For the good things in life, such as not wearing Spanx
I recently ended a relationship that lasted a year and five months. While I loved this woman, for much of the relationship she was, to varying degrees, depressed. I tried to be as helpful and patient as possible with the hope and expectation that she would get better. I got her into counseling. We went to couples counseling together. She got on medication. I encouraged her to eat well (I cooked her many healthy meals) and exercise daily (which she was never able to do). I tried to get her out into nature. I tried to listen and practice strong communication skills.
I'm a heterosexual guy in my early 20s. I've been dating my girlfriend for about six months, and we've been having some fights recently. The problem: I have a high sex drive in comparison to hers. I want to be intimate on a weekly basis (at least!), and she's told me that she's more of a once-every-three-weeks-or-so person. I'm trying not to put pressure on her. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable — she's a virgin (no penetration), and the thought of the pain of that first time scares her a bit.

Mirae means "future", but Apache Mirae means "now"
I just posted a snapshot of Apache Mirae 1.0 to http://people.apache.org/~ias/mirae/ . "Mirae" in Korean means "future" and I used the word to name a project for implementing JSR 172 J2ME Web Services in Apache.
The project launched two years ago, but has gone through many things: lack of participation (and use as well), TCK delivery, and holes of JSR 172, and so on. However, around the beginning of this year, I got quite stimulating responses from both developers and users of Mirae and finally feel ready to release its very first version.
Open source software targeted at Java ME has narrower playground than the other platforms mainly because the platform itself is sort fo "closed", or rather tightly controlled by telco carriers and phone vendors. For example, java.* and javax.* are not permitted to install by users on some devices, which prevents from using Mirae WS(Web Services, an implementation of JSR 172 JAX-RPC subset).
Knowing this irresistible situation, we still (and ever) want our devices to be connected based on a notation called "service oriented architecture", and JSR 279 Service Connection API for Java ME and JSR 280 XML API for Java ME shed light here. Even as an implementor of JSR 172, the JAX-RPC subset was pretty disappointing, especially when it came to real usages.
What I'd like to lead through Mirae is to let people make full use of their daily information devices. That's the future.

A little difficult to get to our room from the elevator as we had to exit the elevator, go up stairs, go outside across a terrace, then a step down to get back into the building.
Excellent clean hotel at a reasonable price.
No air conditioning and it does get hot in summer.
Super clean in an out of the way city! Lovely restaurant and biergarten with great food. Very kind staff speaking many languages. Highly recommend!
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
