Mequon-Thiensville bolsters its technology plan
Students better prepared for college, jobs
Mequon — The Mequon-Thiensville School District now has an updated technology plan in place for the next three school years.
Following a recent report from Information Technology Manager Jeridon Clark, the School Board voted to approve the 2013-2016 Information and Technology Plan for the district.
The plan, developed by the district's Technology Committee of administrators, Instructional Media Center specialists, teachers and parents, identifies five main goals, Clark explained. Those goals focus around ensuring implementation of a professional development plan, provision of technology tools and instruction to prepare students for college and careers, continued development of technology infrastructure, awareness of digital citizenship for ethical and responsible technology use, and the role of IMCs in advancing district technology plans.
In his report to the board, Clark highlighted the district's technology infrastructure as a primary strength, noting that the district has been taking steps to increase its number of technological devices.
Buying more laptops
This year the district will purchase an additional 60 Chromebooks, affordable laptops that mainly support Web applications, for each elementary school, Clark said. The hope is that the district can continue to do that over the next two years, Clark said, to help support the goal of allowing two full grade levels to simultaneously complete online standardized testing at the elementary level, and one full grade level at the middle school level.
Although the backbone of the district's technology infrastructure is still Mac-based, Clark said, Chromebooks are a more economical way for the district to increase its number of devices.
"We're doing what I think is a reasonable, appropriate effort in order to make sure that our students have the devices they need," Clark said.
Superintendent Demond Means recalled that the board's foresight in choosing to invest in the district's technology infrastructure nearly four years ago, then a controversial decision, has provided the district with the capability to expand its infrastructure.
The district is currently operating with a bandwidth of 120 megabytes, Clark said, which has been reliable. It will be seeking to increase that likely in the 2014-2015 school year.
Teachers need training
Clark noted that the district also plans to take steps to improve professional development in the area of technology, which has been a frequent topic of discussion among IMC specialists, who are integral to technology education for both students and staff.
"The whole idea here is that in order for our staff to adequately and appropriately use technology, they need to be trained. They need to know how to do it," Clark said.
Board member Stephanie Clark said that she was struck by the evolving nature of what it means to be an IMC specialist and how important their role is in teaching effective use of technology, which was reflected in the report.
The complete 2013-2016 Information and Technology Plan can be found under the May 20 Board Packet Reports, at www.mtsd.k12.wi.us/board/boereports.cfm.
The Mequon-Thiensville School District's technology plan takes into account its technology vision statement, which states that through the use of technology the district is committed to:
· providing students with authentic and meaningful learning opportunities conducted in an ethical manner for academic, social, personal and work-related activities.;
· supporting all staff in the effective integration of technology to enhance the quality of teaching, learning and assessment;
· providing efficiencies in time and work;
· and, enabling more effective communications within the entire school community, including students, parents, staff and residents and businesses in Mequon and Thiensville.

Idea-starved filmmakers, take note! Advertisement Hom-rom-com apparently refers to the fact that the characters in Mr. Right are homosexual. Pretty revolutionary, but we think we can do better:bomb-rom-com: so far, the only entry in this genre is Dr. Strangelove. Ripe for newcomers! Advertisement pom-rom-com: a touching romance between a woman and her overpriced bottle of all-natural pomegranate juice. Will the antioxidants be enough to keep them together?dom-rom-com: a love story between a dominatrix and a client or clients. A subgenre, the Dom-dom-rom-com, involving a dominatrix and Dom DeLuise, will be more difficult to make since his death in 2009.calm-rom-com: for those who like their entertainment a little more relaxing, a romantic comedy without plot twists, excessive emotion, or sudden gestures. Sponsored prom-rom-com: many romantic comedies involve a prom, but a film taking place entirely at a prom has, to our knowledge, yet to be made. The possibilities — including drunkenness, loss of virginity, and the birth of an unexpected child — are endless.nom-rom-com: a combination romantic-comedy/horror movie in which a tortured hero is compelled to "nom" his beloved. Advertisement Advertisement Guam-rom-com: Guam — where America's day, and one couple's love, begins.mom-rom-com: a romantic comedy version of MILF Island. TomTom-rom-com: just like Secretary, except instead of James Spader giving the heroine increasingly erotic directions, her TomTom GPS does.We're sure that these new ideas will revitalize the romantic comedy genre — because as experience has shown, nothing makes a great movie like an incredibly restrictive prefab template.

Dorman stainless steel brake line kit
Reviewed By Scott Z (Buckhannon, WV) Reviewed for a 2003 Chevy Silverado —2/17/2017 7:40 PM
This is the first time I had tried the prebent line kits, as a mechanic I usually make my own. But for the price is was great to just pull them out of the box and put them right on. All the lines were bent and flared correctly and were a great fit. Saved me time instead of making my own. If you own a Chevy pickup, you know the brake lines are junk, instead of fixing them one at a time as they rust up, spend a couple hours and just knock'em out and be done.
Durable and worth it

Indian Energy Development: Actions Needed to Address BIA Management Challenges
GAO-16-171T: Published: Oct 21, 2015. Publicly Released: Oct 21, 2015.
In its June 2015 report, GAO found that Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) management shortcomings and other factors—such as a complex regulatory framework, limited capital and infrastructure, and varied tribal capacity—have hindered Indian energy development. Specifically, BIA's management has the following shortcomings:BIA does not have the data it needs to verify ownership of some Indian oil a...
Sole Source Contracting: Defining and Tracking Bridge Contracts Would Help Agencies Manage Their Use
GAO-16-15: Published: Oct 14, 2015. Publicly Released: Oct 14, 2015.
The agencies included in GAO's review—the Departments of Defense (DOD), Health and Human Services, and Justice—had limited or no insight into their use of bridge contracts, as bridge contracts were not defined or addressed in department-level guidance or in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). However, GAO found that two DOD components, the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency, have institut...
Managing for Results: Implementation of GPRA Modernization Act Has Yielded Mixed Progress in Addressing Pressing Governance Challenges
GAO-15-819: Published: Sep 30, 2015. Publicly Released: Sep 30, 2015.
GAO's work over the past 2 years shows that implementation of the GPRA Modernization Act (GPRAMA) continues to be uneven, with varying effects on agencies' performance management. Some progress has been made in areas where GAO has made prior recommendations; however, GAO has continued to identify a range of long-standing challenges in the four areas discussed below.The executive branch still needs...
Regulatory Guidance Processes: Agencies Could Benefit from Stronger Internal Control Practices
GAO-15-834T: Published: Sep 23, 2015. Publicly Released: Sep 23, 2015.
What is regulatory guidance? One of the main purposes of guidance is to explain and help regulated parties comply with agencies' regulations. Even though not legally binding, guidance documents can have a significant effect on regulated entities and the public, both because of agencies' reliance on large volumes of guidance documents and because the guidance can prompt changes in the behavior of r...
American Red Cross: Disaster Assistance Would Benefit from Oversight through Regular Federal Evaluation
GAO-15-565: Published: Sep 9, 2015. Publicly Released: Sep 16, 2015.
Key factors affecting the nature and extent of the American Red Cross's (Red Cross) disaster assistance include its standard set of services and the unique needs of affected communities. The Red Cross is involved in three phases of emergency assistance: immediate response, longer-term recovery, and preparedness. For response, it has a standardized set of services and procedures which may be adjust...
Managing for Results: Greater Transparency Needed in Public Reporting on the Quality of Performance Information for Selected Agencies' Priority Goals
GAO-15-788: Published: Sep 10, 2015. Publicly Released: Sep 10, 2015.
The six agencies GAO reviewed generally did not publicly report on how they ensured the accuracy and reliability of performance information used to measure progress on their highest priority performance goals, referred to as agency priority goals (APGs). The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) requires agencies to identify the following when publicly reporting on their APGs: 1) how performance...
Pay for Success: Collaboration among Federal Agencies Would be Helpful as Governments Explore New Financing Mechanisms
GAO-15-646: Published: Sep 9, 2015. Publicly Released: Sep 9, 2015.
Pay for Success (PFS), also known as Social Impact Bonds, is a new contracting mechanism to fund prevention programs, where investors provide capital to implement a social service— for example, to reduce recidivism by former prisoners. If the service provider achieves agreed upon outcomes, the government pays the investor, usually with a rate of return, based on savings from decreased use of mor...
U.S. Savings Bonds: Future of Offering Paper Savings Bonds at Tax Time Is Uncertain, and Lower-Income Households Continue to Face Savings Challenges
GAO-15-563: Published: Jul 16, 2015. Publicly Released: Aug 17, 2015.
The Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) elimination of paper savings bonds made buying bonds more difficult for some customers, but GAO's analyses generally indicated that the decline in bond purchases after the change was not statistically significant. Treasury eliminated paper savings bonds in January 2012, after a long-term decline in savings bond purchases. It estimated the change would sa...
Federal Supply Schedules: More Attention Needed to Competition and Prices
GAO-15-590: Published: Jul 9, 2015. Publicly Released: Aug 10, 2015.
According to the General Services Administration (GSA), total sales through the Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) program in fiscal year 2014 were $33.1 billion. This includes purchases by federal, state, and local agencies, including federal intelligence agencies which do not report their FSS spending publicly. GAO's analysis of publicly reported federal procurement data shows that federal use of th...

Where EMC Is Investing in Storage, Cloud Innovation
Plenty of storage and cloud-related innovation is happening at EMC, despite its impending merger with Dell and what many industry observers believe.LAS VEGAS—When the news came Oct. 11 that Dell was going to spend upwards of $67 billion to acquire EMC and its far-ranging IT empire and take it private, skeptics cropped up everywhere. People were commenting, for example, that two established, very successful but elderly (by Silicon Valley terms) 32-year-old IT giants certainly cannot be innovative enough to be successful in the second decade of the 21st century. Their mindsets are old-school, the installed bases too expansive to transform to new-gen IT anytime soon. Plus, the integration of two such giants will take precedence over any significant new product development. Well, some people may have thought—and still may be harboring—those thoughts, but from eWEEK's third-party viewpoint, those folks are off-base. "There's been a lot of talk about the 'innovation wheel' slowing down, as we become part of Dell, but it's been anything but that," Sam Grocott, who serves as senior vice president of Marketing and Product Management at EMC, told eWEEK May 2 at EMC World 2016 here at the Sands Expo Center.
Grocott keeps tabs on the Emerging Technology Division at EMC, so he knows from where the innovation emanates.

Patch to add bustle-pcap.1
help2man can very usefully generate man pages from --help and --version output, and having a man page is recommended or required by several distros.
To make packagers' lives easier, this patch generates and installs bustle-pcap.1 using help2man when available. A --version argument is added to bustle-pcap to allow this.
bustle-pcap.1 really belongs in the source tarballs, but I'm not sure how you produce those. I don't know whether it should go in the git repo or not, since it's a generated file.
You can also see this as the pcap-man-page branch at git://people.freedesktop.org/~amerry/bustle
Thanks! I've merged this, and have wired it up to the binary tarball target.

My Cymbidiella rhodocheila seems mature, with three green pseudobulbs and one leafless backbulb. I grow it high in the greenhouse where it receives strong light along with my cattleyas but cannot get it to flower. Is it an infrequent or reluctant flowerer? — Tom Capranica
First, the correct taxonomic name for your species is now Cymbidiella pardalina. Your plant is certainly of a mature size and I have seen various plants of a similar size being sold in bloom at a number of orchid shows over the past year or two. In Arizona, you will receive more than adequate light, and this epiphyte from Madagascar should relish your conditions, as it is commonly found perched on Platycerium ferns in open country. Many better-grown specimens I have seen have been cultivated in baskets; you might try this for your plant but I doubt this will make the difference between flowers and no flowers. Maybe try keeping the plant dryer over the winter to see if this shocks it into flowering. Perhaps the cooler part of your greenhouse could be its environment for the winter months. — Andy Easton

It's no secret that the love runs deep between the casts of "Parks and Recreation" and "Scandal." "Parks" star Aziz Ansari has gone on record with his desire of a crossover between the hit shows, and now his co-star Retta is joining him.
Speaking with reporters on Wednesday (Oct. 16) at an on-set celebration in honor of the NBC comedy's milestone 100th episode, airing later this season, the comedienne and real-life "Scandal" fanatic sounded off on her dream Donna storyline in a proposed crossover.
"I would like Donna to become a rival of Olivia Pope [Kerry Washington] and try to, you know, work her way up, try to make moves on Fitz [Tony Goldwyn]," she revealed. "I'm kinda feeling that."
Ansari piggy-backed on the idea, saying, "We should totally do a 'Parks' episode where Donna has to do crisis management"
In Retta's fantasy, however, things get a little steamy: "But she steals Harrison [Colombus Short] from the firm because I want to have sex with him. That would be amazing. She 'hires' him, but then she gets it."
"Parks and Recreation" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on NBC, while "Scandal" rules the roost over at ABC at 10 p.m. on the same night.
Are you on board with a "Parks"/"Scandal" crossover?

Is my jumping position getting better?
September 2007
March 2008
I know I still kinda stand up when I jump.
Apart from that, has my position improved at all?
you look so much better! in the first pic it looked like your sturrups where way to short (causeing you to be off balance and on his neck to much) and have chicken arms but the secound one you look good just remember the chicken arms and that jumping position isnt standing is just at the top of your post and its ok if your seat touches the saddle
13 Attachment(s)
Looking better to me as well! ;) Good job!
Could you maybe post more pics? thanks!
Well, it looks pretty much the same to me. Maybe your chicken wings have improved a tad, but its hard to tell from just one dark pic.
Don't get discouraged, keep up the hard work!!

This song is like nostalgia, it reminds me of the sensation of getting this game for my game boy color
I remember, i was so excited, all the kids in school talked about this game.
I begged my parents to get me a Game Boy and this game. When i got it, the first thing i was with the box was sniff it, i know... But the smell of fresh cardboard... i opened the box, and the game boy box as well, i turned the game boy on, to make sure it worked, and it did, i knew what to do.
I got the cartridge, put it in the game boy, there was some problem, i took the cartridge out, blew in it. Only and army of dust between me and that ultimate puzzle game.
I put the cartdrige in, i turned it on, and played.
Yes. This is the same game I knew the song from. Stay young my friend.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Play this when you play the hardest difficulty of tetris.

The Fidelio X1 decided that it would be my attention grabber today.
really, back then was the golden age. You either had flagships that were 1000+ that were legendary (r10. qualia, omega, orpheus) it, or AMAZING flagships/phones in general at $2-500
Now the $3-400 section is full of just trash compared to what they had back then. Well not trash, but compared to back then, it is.
Just the good impressions.
I don't have too much of a reason to get it since I've been delaying such a long time it's basically a no go (not that I don't want to).
That and if I were to go for headphones, I don't know where to find the middle ground between having headphones being fun or headphones being tonally accurate, reproducing music so called "as the artist intended" (which usually doesn't happen unless you happen to be using the exact same headphones as the artist/producer).
What happened to the last emperor of China? He was a kid. Did they kill him? Or persuade him.

Audi readying a Q6 to go up against the BMW X6?
Autoweek is reporting that development started on a performance crossover SUV aimed squarely at the X6. Unlike the X6 when it launched, this will be a 5 seater. It will most likely be based on the Porsche Cayenne platform which has us intrigued. Oh, and an RS Q6 model may be coming which will be designed to compete with the X6 M using the new 4.0 turbo V8. Hey, bring it on.

I lovingly design, hand build, fire in my kiln and glaze small batches of work to give you a truly unique, one of a kind work of art.
My pots are hand built or sculpted from slabs and pinch pots to create unique pieces that I would love in my home - and I do have a lot! I'm influenced by Swedish and Italian potters from the 50's and 60's, mixing the rustic use of patterns with the frivolity of character.

Pyro by Kings of Leon Songfacts
Lead singer Caleb Followill explained in a video interview that that this kerosene-crazed track is about a guy who has lost faith in the world in which he lives and he doesn't believe it is as perfect as everyone says. He becomes so disgusted by the world in which he lives that he decides to burn it down:
Everything I cherish
Is slowly dying, or it's gone
The song is written from the perspective of Sammy Weaver, who was killed in a 1992 firefight with US marshals at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Sammy's father, Randy Weaver, had a visceral distrust of the US government and refused to appear in court on weapons charges. After a long standoff, the firefight ensued and Sammy, his mother Vicki, and their dog were killed.
The story made headlines, and years later, Caleb Followill saw a TV program about the incident, which prompted him to write the song. "There was something about when the son had gotten killed that I was thinking, 'What if he had lived?' I started writing from that mentality.
Pyro is the Latin word for fire and the word Pyromania is used to describe an uncontrollable urge to start a blaze (or a
Def Leppard album
). Even though the song title is not used in the lyrics the song appears to be about someone with pyromaniac tendencies:
Single book of matches
Gonna burn what's standing in the way
Roaring down the mountain
Now they're calling on the fire brigade
Caleb explained to
The Music Fix
the original inspiration for this song: "I had actually written some verses because I was watching this piece on these radical Christians that live up in the mountains and somehow the FBI got involved and pretty much went and killed them. And so I started writing kind of about that and about a guy that was kind of fed up with it all and he thought that the world that he was living in wasn't the perfect world to him so he kind of goes and burns it down. It's just one of those songs where it's like it starts out with someone thinking they know how it's supposed to be and at the end it's like, 'I can't even be that way.'"
Matthew Followill told The Music Fix about the difficulties of playing the guitar part for this song: "'Pyro' is the most fun and it's the most difficult. It's, uh… God… I remember the first night we played it. I was so nervous and so mad at them for making me play it. It's because I was so anxious to do it, but, thank God, it worked out and I didn't mess up."
Caleb discussed with The Music Fix about getting his vocal right for this song: "I think it's always a song that's like intimate and very much the vocals are up front. That's always the difficult one for me because at times you feel like you're carrying the weight. Like, a song like 'Pyro,' is kind of like… It's kind of a quiet song so the vocal to me needs to be pretty perfect and going back to what we were saying earlier, to me, perfect doesn't mean perfect. It means to have the emotion to really carry the track and to get the audience and the listener to really relate to what's going on."

Johnny boy, how delusional are you pal?? The only reason the Kings are on a world wide level is because they sold their arses out on "Only By The Night" and ever since. Dissapointing as they did create exciting music and put on a great rock n roll show, mainly here in the U.K as the U.S didnt really start paying attention until they simplified their sound for a more mainstream audience. A.M`s on the other are rising and rising without compromise, if anything making their unique sound even more of a challenge to get your head around in some instances. As KoL look likely to self destruct the Monkeys will march on and continue to produce original, exciting and vital rock n roll. 1 day Johnny boy, you will find yourself looking back at your rant and kick yourself, take care brother and "dont sit down coz I`ve moved your chair"!!!

Too True John
Natalie - Maryborough, Australia
Dude, David, that theory kind of offends me. Are you a KOL fan? The idea that KOL put the word "cornerstone" into a song because they are feuding with a very semi famous indie rock band is extremely far fetched. In fact, the idea is kind of preposterous. Is there any actual evidence of any feud between KOL and AM? Nope. AM is barely famous, and not really advancing at all in fact. KOL is one of the most famous and successful bands on the planet, and with all do respect to AM, they probably aren't even on KOLs radar, or anywhere near the level they would need to reach in order to be competition for KOL. They are probably friends if anything. KOL is very close to The Strokes, The Strokes took AM on tour when they were fledglings and became close with them as well. Plus KOL is not a bunch of petty children and they aren't washed up. They have absolutely nothing to worry about from AM, or any other rock band out there for that matter. They are on a different level.
John - Charlotte, Nc
It was suggested to me that this song is linked to an on-going beef between KoL and Arctic Monkeys. The chorus would seem to back this theory up " I dont wanna be your Cornerstone". A.M have a song called "Cornerstone", quite a negative thing to sing. " Single book of matches, gonna burn whose standing in the way", KoL might be a bit pis*ed at A.M`s recent advances in the quest for rock monsterdom!!! Justa couple of theories, different angle on a very sinister song, in my opinion!

Since 1981, Theis Farm Market has been providing high quality, exceptionally great tasting local produce. Family owned and operated, they take pride in their work and are constantly striving to meet new demands by delivering even better tasting produce and higher quality products. They started out with a wagon by the road full of vegetables. Greenhouses came as a necessity for the starting of our field plants. They decided to do a few flowers for fun and that quickly turned into the place to go for top quality beautiful bedding plants, including Barb's original mixed planters and baskets. Now they have bedding and vegetable plants starting in the spring following through to summer with ripe tasty vegetables and into the fall for pumpkins, squash, gourds and all your other fall decorations. They always carry fresh eggs, homegrown popcorn, honey from the bees on their farm, syrups and jams from slack's.

What are the very highest levels of human potential? What are the pinnacles of human experience? How can we achieve them? What are the benefits?
The Supreme Awakening brings together a remarkable collection of transcendent experiences reported by people through the ages and shows that they are experiences of advanced stages of human development, higher states of consciousness — experiences of enlightenment.
The Supreme Awakening also shows how ordinary men and women today are enjoying the same kinds of sublime experiences celebrated by Laozi, the Buddha, Plato, St. Teresa of Avila, Wordsworth, Emerson, Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Einstein, and many others — simply by practicing the effortless technique of Transcendental Meditation®.
Finally, the book shows the immense, scientifically-validated benefits of cultivating enlightenment — in every area of life, for the individual and for our world.
See the website for the The Supreme Awakening book.
