I taught fifth grade for many years at P.S. 277, in New York City's South Bronx. But the school's full name was the Dr. Evelina Lopez-Antonetty Children's Literacy Center. I'd wager heavily there's not a student in that elementary school, or more than two or three adults, who could tell you a single fact about Lopez-Antonetty, whose name is on the door they walk through every morning and whose portrait (last time I looked) hangs in the school auditorium. I always found this odd and irksome. If it's important enough to put someone's name on a public building, it should be important enough to know why.
In the wake of the horrific, racially motivated shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, there have been demands to remove the Confederate battle flag from the capitol grounds in Charleston and wherever else it appears. Activists are demanding the removal of statues of Confederate Civil War figures and the rechristening of roads, bridges, and military bases bearing their names. There are nearly two hundred K–12 schools in America named after Confederate leaders, and now the calls have begun to strip the names from those buildings as...
Those of us who have hoped Common Core would hasten the demise of dry and deleterious skills-driven literacy practices at the elementary level can only be heartened by Education Week's recent in-depth report on building early literacy skills. The package is deeply practice-based and will cheer those who have championed the cause of content knowledge and vocabulary development as a means of raising proficiency—particularly among low-income kids, for whom early reading success (or lack thereof) establishes a trajectory that is devilishly hard to alter.
Highlights include Catherine Gewertz's first-rate dispatch on the transformation of early-grade read-alouds: Teachers increasingly ask "text-dependent" questions that can only be answered with "detailed understanding of the material, rather than from students' own experience." She focuses on a collaborative effort of more than three hundred teachers called the Read-Aloud Project, which was launched by the Council of Great City Schools and Student Achievement Partners.
One of the most important pieces in the package ever-so-slightly misses its mark. Liana Heiten's report on vocabulary development correctly notes—heavens be praised—the limits of direct vocabulary instruction. (Do the math: there's not enough time to grow the fifty-thousand-word vocabulary of a literate adult by memorization or word study...
Contractors removing old chalkboards from an Oklahoma City high school last week uncovered a second set of chalkboard drawings still covered with lessons and student work from a school day in 1917. The Thanksgiving-themed drawings, multiplication problems, musical scales, and lessons on cleanliness offer an eerie, time-capsule glimpse into the past. But the discovery was important for another reason: Researchers finally have tangible evidence of what kids were learning in at least one American school.
I'm not entirely joking. Pop quiz: Can you name the English language arts curriculum in the public schools where you live? How about the math program? If you can name them, are they any good? How do you know? Do you have student performance data on the program or textbook? Or is your opinion just based on philosophy and preference?
I've long lamented the general lack of curiosity within education reform about curriculum as a means of improving student outcomes, despite good evidence that curriculum effects are larger than teacher effectiveness, chartering, standards, and other beloved reform levers. Likewise, I've expressed the hope that Common Core might spur something of a golden age in curriculum development (hell, I'll settle for bronze)....
I like the Common Core State Standards just fine, but let me confess a little secret: standards have never interested me very much. As a teacher, I would no sooner reach for state standards to decide what to teach than an architect would look to building codes for inspiration when sketching a skyscraper. Likewise, I suspect chefs never start with safe food handling procedures when planning a tempting menu. Of course, I want my students to be able to "determine two or more central ideas of a text" (that's a standard). But deciding which texts are worth reading is far more interesting. And that's not a standards question—it's a curriculum question.
Much of my enthusiasm for Common Core has been predicated on the assumption that raising our game on teaching and testing can't be accomplished without taking a long, hard look at curriculum—the course content and class materials we put in front of students. Curriculum is largely beyond the reach of Common Core; it's strictly (and correctly) a local concern. But it's been widely hoped the new standards would create a robust nationwide market for innovative new materials—especially in English language arts (ELA), where Common Core explicitly states the standards...
Achieve has spent a decade relentlessly tracking and reporting on states' progress in adopting "college- and career-ready" (CCR) policies and practices across multiple fronts. Sometimes we've found their reports too rosy, or at least too credulous, with a tendency to credit state assertions that they're doing something rather than looking under the surface to see whether it's really happening.
This year's report is more solid, more fact-based—and more worrying. Consider, for example, its list of fourteen states that "still do not have any form of statewide graduation requirements that require or even suggest (as states with opt-in CCR courses of study do) that students take particular courses (or the content) so that they can graduate college and career ready."
Pretty grim, no, this deep into the era of standards-based reform and mindful of our multi-year fixation on everybody emerging from the K–12 system ready for something respectable after high school?
Also worrying: Only thirteen states even collect district-level course requirements for high school graduation, and just three make public "the number of credits by subject area by district" required for graduation.
And this: "35 states use end-of-course exams [for some high-school subjects] to help ensure rigor and consistency statewide. However,...
Amid way too much talk about testing and the Common Core, not enough attention is being paid to what parents will actually learn about their children's achievement when results are finally released from the recent round of state assessments (most of which assert that they're "aligned" with the Common Core).
Ever since states adopted more rigorous standards—and the two assessment consortia began to develop next-generation tests that will faithfully gauge pupil performance in relation to those standards—there's been vast anxiety about the bad news that's apt to emerge. How will people react when informed that their kids aren't doing nearly as well academically as the previous standards-and-testing regime had led them to believe? Will more parents "opt out" of testing? Will the political backlash cause more states to repudiate the Common Core, change tests yet again, or lower the "cut scores"?
We know the Common Core standards are more challenging than what preceded them in most places. That was the point. We know that the new assessments—at least those custom-built by PARCC and Smarter Balanced—are supposed to probe deeper and expect more. We understand that this reboot of America's academic expectations is indeed like moving the goal posts. There's ample...
According to a paper released this week by the American Enterprise Institute, charter authorizers are putting too many meaningless application requirements on organizations that propose to open schools, thereby limiting school autonomy and creating far too much red tape.
The report shares lessons, provides authorizer Dos and Don'ts, and divides charter application criteria into categories of appropriate and inappropriate based on AEI's analysis of application requirements from forty authorizers around the land. The authors conclude that:
AEI correctly notes the importance of the authorizer's role as gatekeeper for new schools and points out that authorizers should establish clear goals, hold schools accountable, review key aspects of school applications for developer capacity, and monitor compliance and finances. Authorizers shouldn't see themselves as venture capitalists, assume the role of school management consultants, deem themselves curriculum experts, or feel entitled to include pet issues in applications.
All true, and all wise. Where it gets sticky—and where this report...
Since we at Fordham began reviewing state academic standards in 1997, we've understood—and made clear—that standards alone are insufficient to drive improvements in student achievement. They describe the destination, but they don't chart the journey for leaders, teachers, or schools. Which means that for standards to have any impact on what students actually learn, they must influence curriculum, assessment, and accountability. It's far better to have a desirable destination than an unworthy one—better to aspire to reach the mountains than the recycling plant—but standards alone won't get you there.
Plenty of educators understand this, but they often lack access to suitable vehicles by which to make the journey. The need for standards-aligned curricula is undoubtedly the most cited implementation challenge for states, districts, and schools. It's also why "access to high-quality, standards-aligned curricular resources" comes up in nearly every discussion of the implementation challenges that teachers, schools, and districts face as they ramp up to meet the content and rigor demands of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
This near-universal need for properly aligned curricula and curricular materials is also why so many publishers rushed to slap shiny "CCSS-aligned!" stickers on their products, regardless of how much those products changed...
Since we at Fordham began reviewing state academic standards in 1997, we have understood—and made clear—that standards alone are insufficient to drive improvements in student achievement. Standards describe the destination, but they don't chart the journey for leaders, teachers, or schools, which means that for standards to have any impact on what students actually learn, they must influence curriculum decisions, assessments, and accountability. Educators intuitively understand this, but not all policy makers and pundits appear to. The need for standards-aligned curricula is undoubtedly the most cited challenge for states, districts, and schools implementing the Common Core.
Yet five years into that implementation, teachers still report scrambling to find high-quality, standards-aligned instructional materials. Despite publishers' claims, there is a dearth of programs that are truly aligned to the demands of the Common Core for content and rigor. Fixing America's curriculum problem is no small challenge.

About 4 months ago I modded 3 xboxs (chameleon). One for myself and two for my friends. Ive made successful backups when i first startred out. Right now im using Evo D6 bios and Evox Dash 3921 and have a Phillips DVD-ROM drive. I use a sony dru 510 to burn the backups on Generic Dvd Pro using Nero. About a month ago I had to redo my pc and at this time i updated the firmware to the sony drive. Since this everything ive backed up and burned will not work on my xbox (always comes up unknown). Heres the weird thing these backups will work on my other 2 freinds xbox's and they also have the Phillips drive and dashboard/bios. I know its not the cheap media since my previous backups work. I even rolled back the firmware still doesnt work. When i use my media on a freinds Pioneeer a104 burner my xbox flawlessly plays the backups. Ive cleared the cache and the IGR is set to off and the clock is up to date. So im totally baffled now. The only thing i can think of now is to take my freinds xbox dvd rom drive and stick it in mine to see if its something with the xbox itself not the drive. Any ideas anyone?

n. an enthusiastic fan of the Lord of the Rings movies. Overly emotional and irrational, they honestly believe that every piece of cinema that has or will be produced is inferior to the trilogy, and will often lurk in movie chatrooms making this point abundantly clear. Most have not read the books, or did not until they saw the movies. Most can be identified by the pudding stains on their shirts.

Age Limit
All Ages
Big Boss Blues performs 4:00 to 5:30 featuring Serita Crowley (the Black Rose) . ABOUT TASTE.
Food, drinks, beer, and wine are available by the purchase of tickets, each costing $.50 for items usually priced between three and eight tickets. Great emphasis must be placed on the available variety and quality of fare. You will not see your typical carnival food concession trailers. Don't misunderstand us - we all love a good, old-fashioned elephant ear, but this is not the place. Here you will find food from Africa, China, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Caribbean, and all points in between. As far as beverages go, you'll encounter the best variety anywhere - from "beer garden microbrews" to Budweiser. You will find wine bars overflowing with the products of nearby local wineries as well as top-shelf liquor bars stocked with Captain Morgan, Cuervo, Tanqueray, and Smirnoff. We also offer an extensive list of non-alcoholic beverages including delicious smoothies, healthy juices, and refreshing Coca-Cola products. What we're trying to say is this: "You won't want to miss the Taste of Kalamazoo!"
For entertainment, the live music line-up runs all day and ranges from emerging local talent to well-known regional and national headliners presented outdoors under blue skies and beautiful sunshine. Additionally, informational booths and family-oriented activities are available for the entire family from 11am throughout most of the day. When the stagelights come up at dusk, the festival site transforms - becoming the throbbing heart of a vibrantly alive downtown district, audible from far away and memorable to all in attendance.

HSBC Pay Opponents Record Biggest Vote Since 2003
HSBC Holdings Plc suffered the biggest vote against its executive pay awards since at least 2003 after Standard Life Plc publicly opposed the report.
Investors backed the director's pay report, with 87 percent voting in favor at the bank's annual meeting of shareholders in London today. Once abstentions were included, 77 percent voted in favor of the report, compared with 89 percent last year.
"Despite our clear communication of concerns, the bank has not been listening," said Guy Jubb, head of corporate governance at Standard Life at the meeting. "The independent non-executive directors have stated their unanimous resolve to bring remuneration, including the group chief executive's salary, to internationally competitive levels within a year. We urge them to carefully reflect on their position."
Chairman Stephen Green defended the bank's pay policies, saying they need to be "internationally competitive," to retain the best staff. In March, HSBC posted a 1.7 percent rise in net income for 2009 to $5.83 billion.
The Association of British Insurers, whose members own about 15 percent of Britain's publicly traded companies, this month issued an "amber alert" on HSBC's pay proposals, indicating investors should scrutinize the plans.
John Thornton, chairman of HSBC's North American unit, was elected to run HSBC's remuneration committee, taking over from Mark Moody-Stuart, who is retiring. He will consult shareholders during a review into how HSBC pays executives this summer, Green said.
Hong Kong Allowance
In March, HSBC said in its annual report that it would pay Geoghegan a 300,000 pound ($448,000) allowance to live in Hong Kong and that his salary will be raised to "international levels" within the next 12 months. Geoghegan has pledged to give as much as 4 million pounds of his bonus to charity.
Separately, Green pledged to remain in his job at least until 2011, following reports he would step down this year.
"I would have preferred not to say anything, because actually we have nothing to announce," Green told shareholders at the annual general meeting today. "I look forward to chairing the next AGM in 2011."
The Sunday Telegraph reported on May 23 that Green would step down this year and would be succeeded by Thornton.
"Rest assured, when there's something to say, we will say it to our shareholders first," Green said, adding that you shouldn't believe everything that's in the newspapers.
'Inherent Risks'
The chairman's role "must be essentially full-time" and the CEO should be Hong Kong-based, Green said.
A Church of England lay minister, Green is set to succeed Helen Alexander as president of the Confederation of British Industry, Britain's biggest business lobby group, from June 2011.
Green, 61, succeeded John Bond as executive chairman of the bank in 2006 after a three year period as chief executive officer. He handed control of the bank's strategy to CEO Michael Geoghegan, who moved to Hong Kong from London in February, to focus on the bank's expansion in China.
The arrangement of having Geoghegan in Hong Kong and Green in London "is not sustainable," and has "inherent governance risks," said Jubb of Standard Life, which controls 250 million HSBC shares.

Right place, right time, right game: Sangakkara
Cricket doesn't accord too many of its practitioners fairytale endings. On Sunday (April 6) night in Mirpur, however, two of Sri Lanka's favourite sons, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena, bid Twenty20 International cricket farewell in the best way possible, holding the world trophy aloft. For Sangakkara, the game was especially memorable as he carved an unbeaten half-century to see his side home. At the end of the day, however, a clearly emotional Sangakkara was just grateful for all that the game had given him. "I don't think the game owes us, or any player, anything. Our job is to try and play it as best as we can, and walk away hopefully having made a positive impact. The game gives… Read More →

MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) - One of the oldest lemurs in captivity has
been euthanized after an illness at the Brevard County Zoo.
Zoo officials say Jenny, who was 41-years-old, loved Craisins
and was friendly enough to let the staff pet her. She died Friday
from liver and kidney problems. She had recently stopped eating.
Jenny lived on the zoo's lemur island with two male ring-tailed
lemurs, a brown lemur and two black-and-white ruffed lemurs.
Lemurs are primates that are native to Madagascar.

SOURCE: Lewis, Scott M. "Beyond the Curve: Kobo Abe Short Stories." Magill Book Reviews (1 October 1991): n. p.
In the following review of Beyond the Curve, Lewis addresses the theme of identity in Abe's short stories.
Beyond the Curve is the first collection of Abe's stories to appear in English. These twelve stories, written between 1949 and 1966, concern the fragile identity of protagonists who are confused strangers lost in the postwar landscape. Almost all of the stories are narrated in the first person, drawing the reader into the neurotic thoughts of protagonists trapped in claustrophobic situations. In "The Irrelevant Death," a man returns to his apartment after work to find a murdered stranger lying on the floor. He decides that he cannot report the murder to the police because they will not believe that he is unconnected to the crime. So the...

'MST3K' Reboot Casts Felicia Day As New Villain
Comedians Baron Vaughn and Hampton Yount will also join host Jonah Ray as the new voices of Servo and Crow.
Comedians Baron Vaughn and Hampton Yount will also join host Jonah Ray as the new voices of Servo and Crow.
With the release this week of "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)," Felicia Day chats with SPINOFF about the book, her career and her fan-favorite "Buffy" and "Supernatural" roles.
The planned webseries follows the star of a fictional cult sci-fi show that was canceled before its time.
The writer, who created the LARPing computer whiz, discusses the appeal of the fan-favorite character and her return to the long-running CW drama.
Stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, and the cast and producers Supernatural entertained fans at Comic-Con International with teasers for Season 9, slapstick antics, and stories of guns and the Impala.
Felicia Day's evening Q&A session at C2E2 was a high-energy discussion of acting, writing, video on the web, girl geekdom … and pizza. Lots to do with pizza.
Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton appeared at Comic-Con International to promote the new YouTube channel Geek & Sundry, and to discuss the return of The Guild.
Joss Whedon announced at Comic-Con International that Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the Internet musical comedy that stars Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, will air next year on The CW.
Web sensation and geek icon Felicia Day wields a sword alongside Sam and Dean on this week's episode Supernatural, perfectly titled "The Girl With the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo."
Joss Whedon says he and his fellow Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog creators have an outline and several songs for a follow-up to the popular 2008 webseries.

I got these boots after my MUCK brand boots fell apart. They were priced much lower than my MUCK boots, and i was delighted at how much nicer they were to wear around the farm. They are much lighter in weight which is a huge benefit, and have held up beautifully. They still do everything the MUCK boots do, but at a lower price with greater comfort. You won't catch me buying MUCK boots again!
comfy, easy on/off, cheap, waterproof, lightweight

become ill, other attorneys are helpful but not that experienced. any suggestions?
You should follow up with your attorneys and meet with them to confirm that your case will still be given the attention and time it deserves. You are always free to meet with other lawyers, but depending upon the status of the case, it may or may not make sense to transfer the file. If you do transfer the file, there may be a lien on any legal fee, but that should not affect the clients portion of the recovery, but may affect the amount any new lawyer would be able to recover. Demand an in person meeting with your lawyers before making any decision.
good luck
Im 24 and when I was a baby the doctor circumcised me. He cut way to deep and I had to go through five major reconstruction surgeries. I'm still having sensitivity problems down there. Is it to late to do anything about this?
In PA the statute of limitations for injuries to minors is 2 years from their 18th birthday, unless the statute is tolled and they were unable to know of the alleged deviation until later. In your case, it sounds difficult, but you would need the medical records reviewed by a Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice lawyer.
good luck
I was driving and fell asleep at the wheel, I hit a vacant parked car. The car was totaled by my insurance company, and a check was sent to the owner. I found out today that the owner of the vehicle now intends to file a law suit for pain and suf...
No. Unless the owner was in the vehicle when you hit the parked car, they cannot recover for pain and suffering. I guess they could sue you, but the case should be tossed and you might be able to recover any attorney fees in having to defend it. Talk with your homeowner's insurance or your car insurance if they do sue you.
good luck
when you are in a minor car accident and there is a judgement of payment for damages. can the company that's trying to collect add interest on because the original amount is 8,000$ but now is 12,000$.
Yes - Pennsylvania allows interest to accrue at a statutory rate of 6% per annum. But $8000 to $12,000 sounds like more than that.
good luck
our joint checking accounts have been frozen since Friday. I thought because our account are joint the debtor was not legally able to do this. However, when I went to mt bank to question this, they basically said there was nothing they could do an...
If the judgment was against both you and your spouse, then yes, the marital account can be frozen. If the judgement was only against one adult, then most banking institutions will NOT freeze a marital account. That is the issue.
Good luck!
Middle finger and thumb still tender. Index finger permanently damaged, painful, disfigured and practically useless.
You need to save all of the evidence and have the matter reviewed by a lawyer and expert familiar with products liability law in Pennsylvania. It is quite possible the product was defective and you could be entitled to damages under Pennsylvania law.
Hope this helps.
If my mother in law died due to an accident where the hospital admitted they dropped her and I have the letter of their admittance of the drop plus a Death certificate that says cause of death was accidental, can I begin legal process without my h...
It depends upon many factors including whether your mother-in-law was married, and perhaps how her will was structured if she had one. Typically, a daughter-in-law does not retain the right to sue unless authorized by a will or through estate proceedings. The family may or may not also want to consider an autopsy depending upon all of the facts and circumstances involving the medical history. I would strong recommend talking to a lawyer asap so that all of the facts can be thoroughly investigated. Hope this helps.
Totaled my car while parked and kept going...someone followed him and police tracked him down but the insurance company is playing games and arent willing to pay what the car is worth. Its been 2 months
You should file suit against the driver of the vehicle that hit you.See question
I need legal assistance in collecting an unpaid debt which needs to be completed by May 1, 2015, which is when the "statute of limitations" will run out.
The statute of limitations for debt collections is typically 4 years for breach of contract. Now this statute can be extended if there was an additional payment after the agreement. At the very least, if you are worried about the statute, you should be certain to file suit within that time period. Good luck
I was injured by a Chiropractor in Jan 2014. Had to have emergency back surgery. My lawyer ordered medical records but has done nothing with my case. They have not even decide to take it or not. Time is running out. Is this a stall tactic or w...
It depends. If you are truly running out of time, then call your lawyer and ask for an update immediately. If that lawyer does not take the case, then you may need to seek a second opinion and you do not want to do that with little time left. More importantly, if you do have a case, make sure that you feel comfortable with the lawyer you have chosen. Good luck.

Universal Display (PANL +14.9%), range-bound in recent weeks, is breaking out following a mixed Q2 report. The OLED technology firm's reiteration of full-year guidance seems to be going over well, given recent worries. During its earnings call, PANL made note of reports top customer Samsung will begin using the company's phosphorescent green materials in its displays, and that a Samsung flexible OLED display will arrive by year's end.

text: Updated again, ready for QC checks [SET] name: Baton Pass move 1: Minimize move 2: Substitute move 3: Disable / Will-O-Wisp move 4: Baton Pass item: Leftovers / Mental Herb ability: Aftermath / Unburden nature: Timid evs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Why this set deserves to be on-site: Drifblim holds a niche in ubers as the only Pokémon which can learn the combination of Minimize + Baton Pass. It is therefore useful on full Baton Pass teams, and can also quick-pass evasion boosts to a dangerous recipient. Once it gets a Minimize boost off, Drifblim is very difficult to take down, especially by a stall team. It can repeatedly use Substitute to prevent the opponent from using Dragon Tail, which will miss often after the boost. Similarly, Whirlwind and Roar will also have a chance of missing, although they will not be blocked by Substitute. Additional Comments: The combination of Minimize, Substitute and Baton Pass is the crux of the set and should not be changed. The remaining move has some different possibilities. Disable is the preferred option, as it allows Drifblim to play around choice-locked moves, especially Thunder. Will-O-Wisp can be used to cripple physical attackers and allow further setup. Shadow Ball is an option to allow Drifblim to do something when Taunted, but Drifblim should generally use a Mental Herb if Taunt is a problem. Stockpile and Calm Mind can be used to pass more boosts, depending on the recipient. Acrobatics can be used with Flying Gem in order to activate Unburden, but it lacks power, and Drifblim has better things to do than fire off weak attacks. Leftovers is the preferred item, as it allows Drifblim to recover health while setting up. Mental Herb can be used to avoid Taunt, especially from Prankster Pokémon such as Thundurus and Sableye. Mental Herb also holds the bonus of activating Unburden, allowing Drifblim to outspeed fast Pokémon such as Deoxys-S after being Taunted. A Focus Sash + Unburden set can be used for a quick pass, given Drifblim's immunity to common priority. However, Focus Sash is nullified by Substitute, a key move for boosting evasion; in addition, a Focus Sash set is only viable as a lead due to the omnipresence of Stealth Rock. If a Focus Sash is used, a Timid nature along with at least 164 speed EVs is recommended, in order to outspeed Scarf Terrakion after the Unburden boost. Drifblim should always fully invest in Speed, in order to pass its boosts as reliably as possible. The remainder of EVs are invested into bulk, allowing Drifblim to take a Scarf Kyogre's Water Spout 75% of the time. These EVs in bulk also require Dialga, Palkia and Kyogre to carry a boosting item in order to guarantee a OHKO with Thunder. Teammates & Counters: It is important to note that Prankster Taunt users, such as Thundurus and Sableye, shut down Drifblim completely. Keep in mind, however, that Drifblim may be carrying a Mental Herb, allowing it to pass any boosts it already has. A fast Taunt user such as Deoxys-S can also Taunt Drifblim, but must be wary of Shadow Ball, and it will get outsped if Drifblim has an Unburden boost. If Drifblim is being used on a full Baton Pass team, it should be partnered with Espeon, whose Magic Bounce ability allows it to repel phazing attempts as well as status or Taunt. A bulky electric-resistance is also useful, in order to take perfectly-accurate Thunders aimed at Drifblim. Celebi is a good candidate for this role, as it can learn Baton Pass and can support the team with dual screens or further boosts. Drifblim also appreciates some speed boosts before it starts setting up, so Ninjask is a usable partner. Groudon is notable for its ability to both switch into a Thunder and reduce the accuracy of further Thunders. However, it does not learn Baton Pass, making it the end of any chain. Latias will take almost no damage from Thunder, but it cannot learn Baton Pass, making it, similarly, the end of a Baton Pass chain. If Drifblim is used to quick-pass to a teammate, it should be paired with a bulky set-up sweeper, in order to make good use of the evasion boosts. Extreme Killer Arceus is a prime candidate, as it is even more devastating when it can dodge revenge-killing attempts. Calm Mind Kyogre can also be used, but its weakness to Thunder makes it a poorer candidate. Before Drifblim starts setting up, one should take advantage of Drifblim's mediocre 80 base speed stat, which allows it to be outsped by most offensive Pokemon in the tier. Any powerful STAB move will do significant damage to Drifblim if it does not outright OHKO. After Drifblim has several evasion boosts, it is significantly more difficult to counter. Kyogre, Palkia and Dialga can all use Thunder with perfect accuracy in the rain; however, none can guarantee a OHKO Drifblim without a boosting item. A choiced user of Thunder is also susceptible to Disable. Lugia can use Whirlwind on Drifblim, but the move can miss after a few evasion boosts. Edit Log: Added Disable for third moveslot Added Focus Sash in AC Mentioned Groudon Switched order of Brightpowder and Mental Herb Edited the EV spread, with the original one now in the set's description Removed Shadow Ball, Stockpile and Calm mind, mentioned in description Added Will-O-Wisp

Jack's Haiku Box LbNA # 44385 (ARCHIVED)
|Placed Date
|Nov 2 2008
|Austin, TX
Some of you may know that Jack Keruoac dabbled in writing haiku and other poetry as well as writing novels. This box is a little tribute to Jack and was placed in the Isamu Taniguchi Japanese Garden at Zilker Botanical Gardens. Please bring along a haiku to add to the logbook, or, if you feel so inspired, compose one on site. (A haiku normally contains 17 syllables: 5 in the first and last lines and 7 syllables in the middle line.)
Once at the gardens, find your way to the tea house. Stand with your back to the entrance of the tea house. Go right for 15 steps to the point where the path splits in three. Follow the rightmost path for 16 steps to the point where the path T's at a large tree. Follow the path to the right until you find the bench placed in memory of Herb Hillery. From the bench, continue along the path for 28 more steps. Look to the left and find the bamboo shoot that proclaims Crystal's love for Hector. At that shoot, jump down off the path and look for a large flat rock that has fallen from the retaining wall. Jack's box is hidden behind this rock, obscured by more rocks. Please be sneaky as this section of the garden is very popular.
If you're the first finder, be sure to claim what is yours.

Bourbon barrel aged ginger rum is spicy and smooth with a smoky caramel finish. And while you don't have to age it in a mini barrel (it tastes pretty darn good raw), the barrel aging makes the rum taste amazing.
Not your run-of-the-mill butter -- made with fresh fall apples and pumpkin, and simple to prepare in your crockpot. And bourbon makes it all that much better!

Well, I think you can just Report The Missing Achievement.
Refreshing the game and retrying for the badges again works for me. Annoying, but it only takes an extra minute for most.
True though, this only happens in Unity games.
Do you have any background programs running? I forgot to mention that I had to turn mine off before restarting.
Again I tell you, Report The Missing Achievement..
Well, make sure to turn off any firewalls you got on. If it doesn't work, you might wanna try another browser?
This happens to me on every single unity game as well. Has anyone identified what happens, or are there any logs I can submit to help track this bug down? Even redoing the badges doesn't work for me, I have to submit the missing achievement email each time. I show the green plug too.
Same here. I have Firefox, but nothing blocking it (allowed through NoScript).
I just don't get badges on Unity games. All other games work fine.

The whole point of this theme is to have nice review capsules in the sidebar, leaving your blog posts on the home page. The live preview shows this. Unfortunately, after numerous emails, support confirms that the actual theme cannot do this. Even the documentation shows the options that should allow this basic function, but they do not actually exist in the real theme's control panel options. So, if you have both reviews and other articles and blogs, then all of your posts will appear on both the homepage and built-in sidebar reviews section. They suggested a category filtered widget to use instead, but of course that wouldn't affect their built-in sidebar functionality with the star ratings. If only it worked like the documentation and live preview show, I'd give it 5-stars. I'd try the pro version, but haven't been able to get confirmation that it adds these settings back or not.
English only = useless until localization is added (like every respectable developer does) it so it can be translated.
Maybe this template is too new but I installed, set the star rating and then viewed the post- no stars.
Not really a true review theme so I will not be using.

Paramount Pictures, Skydance Productions, Bad Robot, and IMAX Corporation today announced that the fifth installment in the blockbuster "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" franchise, directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® format and released in IMAX® theaters worldwide beginning July 31st.
The new film is produced by Tom Cruise, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk. The executive producers are David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger of Skydance Productions and Jake Myers. Drew Pearce, Christopher McQuarrie, Will Staples, Laeta Kalogridis & Patrick Lussier and Dylan Kussman wrote the screenplay, based on the television series created by Bruce Geller.
The newest installment reunites Cruise with stars from 2011's "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL," including Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. Joining the cast is Alec Baldwin, Rebecca Ferguson and Sean Harris.
"IMAX is so important in giving the audience the best experience of the film we have made. I am very happy to have this partnership on the next 'MISSION,'" said Cruise.
"After the innovative way we worked with our longtime partners Paramount Pictures, Skydance Productions, Bad Robot and Tom Cruise on the record-setting 'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL,' we are beyond thrilled to once again offer audiences The IMAX Experience® of the latest installment of this action-packed franchise," said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment. "This film was literally made for IMAX and summer moviegoing."
Rob Moore, Vice Chairman of Paramount Pictures said, "Audiences the world over proved with the last 'MISSION' that the IMAX experience is not to be missed and so we are all thrilled to again partner with Rich, Greg and everyone at IMAX to bring this next exciting installment to their screens this summer."
The "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" franchise has earned more than $2 billion at the box office, making it one of the most successful franchises in movie history.

Bolden Is Tapped to Run NASA
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama picked former astronaut and retired Marine Corps Gen. Charles Bolden Jr. to head the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, but controversy over his background and NASA's future direction could complicate his job.
Gen. Bolden's nomination caps months of political maneuvering, which has left some major agency decisions in limbo. It also has become a flash point for a broad debate over how NASA should conduct future human space-exploration programs.
Gen. Bolden was a NASA official in the early 1990s and more recently worked for two major NASA contractors. His critics contend he's too closely tied to existing NASA programs.
These people, who want to shake up the agency's priorities, include officials of smaller aerospace firms hoping to snare NASA business and some Obama advisers likely to play a role in charting NASA's direction. Gen. Bolden has supported some startup space ventures, but they still wanted a nominee with a more-unconventional background.
White House officials said Gen. Bolden wasn't available for comment. In a meeting with Mr. Obama in the White House Tuesday, the former astronaut spoke about his "vision for NASA's future," among other topics, according to a White House statement. Before the meeting, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the president "hopes that [Gen. Bolden] is the right person to lead NASA in the coming years and through its evolving role."
People familiar with the nomination process said Gen. Bolden has pledged to give weight to the recommendations of an independent commission recently set up by Mr. Obama to look at NASA's future that's expected to report back by summer's end.
Read More
Gen. Bolden, who would be the first African-American to lead the agency, served as NASA's assistant deputy administrator in the early 1990s and is a four-time shuttle astronaut. His nomination is expected to be approved by the Senate.
The White House announcement also said the president will nominate Lori Garver, a former top policy official at NASA who headed up the Obama administration's transition team for the agency, to NASA's No. 2 slot. Ms. Garver has been a strong advocate of changing NASA to help support the efforts of private space entrepreneurs, and she is also considered to be in favor of expanding research into climate change and cutting-edge concepts such as potentially using satellites with large solar collectors to help generate electricity that could be used on earth.
Lawmakers are expected to examine Ms. Garver's consulting activities in the last few years. But since her name has been circulating on Capitol Hill for months apparently without serious opposition, at this point supporters don't expect major challenges. The new team heading up NASA, however, won't have the depth of engineering and technical expertise enjoyed by some previous agency leaders. And according to industry and government officials, that could make them more dependent on NASA's existing program managers and outside experts such as the commission being assembled by the White House.
In announcing the selections earlier Saturday, President Obama said in a statement: "These talented individuals will help put NASA on course to boldly push the boundaries of science, aeronautics and exploration in the 21st century and ensure the long-term vibrancy of America's space program."
Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, the Democratic chairman of a commerce subcommittee with responsibility for NASA, has publicly and privately championed Gen. Bolden's nomination for months. Sen. Nelson pushed the appointment despite opposition from factions in the White House, inside NASA and parts of the aerospace industry. In a statement Saturday, Sen. Nelson tried to downplay controversy over the choice partly by emphasizing that "ultimately, leadership in the space program comes from the White House."
Sen. Nelson's statement also said that Gen. Bolden understands "the importance of America remaining a leader in science and technology through space exploration," even as he faces "budgetary constraints, technical issues, the remaining shuttle launches and the pending retirement of the shuttle program."
Some White House science aides and NASA advisers are concerned delays and cost overruns could affect the next-generation manned space program, Constellation, and particularly the Ares I rocket, which is slated to start operations by 2015. Some estimates peg the total cost of replacing the space-shuttle fleet and returning to the moon early in the next decade at more than $40 billion.
Gen. Bolden could come under questioning during nomination hearings over his previous financial and business ties to two big NASA contractors for Constellation: Alliant Techsystems Inc. and GenCorp Inc. Alliant, also known as ATK, builds the solid rocket boosters for the space shuttle and is working on Ares I. GenCorp's Aerojet unit has a contract for another part of Constellation, and also builds parts of boosters for military rockets under consideration for use by NASA.
Gen. Bolden, who was also an ATK lobbyist for three months in 2005 and served on GenCorp's board from 2005 to March 2008, has most recently worked as a consultant.
Mr. Obama's restrictions on former lobbyists taking certain government jobs wouldn't apply to Gen. Bolden, as his stint at ATK took place more than two years ago. Nor would Gen. Bolden be prohibited from deciding the fate of major projects at the agency under Mr. Obama's new ethics rules, ethics lawyers said.
New ethics rules would require Gen. Bolden to recuse himself from making decisions concerning specific contracts for the two companies.

War of the Roses: monthly content drop includes fire arrows, Greenwood map
War of the Roses benefits from its regular free content update this month, adding a new map, weapons and armour, and the ability to use fire arrows. Expect to see plenty of these in action over the free Steam weekend.
The new update is called Outside the Law and seems to be whimsically Robin Hood-themed. It adds one new map, the Green Wood; its forest landscape is littered with fallen trees and tent camps.
Two new bows have been added, the Elm Self Bow and the Yew Self Bow, and both factions cna now use fire arrows, which unfortunately only set foes alight, no the whole forest.
Melee fans haven't been forgotten; check out the Woodsman's Axe, Headsman's Axe, Shillelagh Mace and Quarterstaff and more. On the armour side, try the new Bycocket Hat among other additions.
The update is out now, and War of the Roses is going free on Steam this weekend. Take the medieval multiplayer sim for a spin.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Fifty-three people in total have been confirmed as having
suffered from the norovirus, which causes a range of symptoms
from muscle aches, headaches and coughs to diarrhoea and
Public Health South medical officer of health Dr Derek Bell,
of Queenstown, told the Otago Daily Times yesterday
the organisation had been contacted directly by the
Australians on their return home.
The Australians had travelled to Cardrona and met friends
there, some of whom were ill.
"And then while they were there they had sufficient instances
of illness amongst their groups to think that there could
have been something going on."
Dr Bell expected the total number of cases to be greater than
53 because not all cases would have been reported to Public
Health South.
Contamination of the Cardrona township water supply is
believed to have been the cause of the norovirus outbreak,
which was halted by a "boil-water" policy.

To the Editor:—
I have read with amazement the special article "The Clinical Clerkship in Medicine" in The Journal (Nov. 12, 1960, p. 1413), in which Dr. Dana W. Atchley states that, when he began to teach at Columbia a few years after his 1914 courses of instruction at Johns Hopkins, "the students were barely tolerated and spent much of their time using the centrifuge as a roulette wheel."
