Montreal crushes Toronto's dreams of a home playoff game with a crazy zero-second win. Calgary coasts at home over the Ti-Cats. Edmonton's defence keeps the playoff push alive, but B.C. keeps pace with a win of their own.
Result | Montreal by 7 | Calgary by 31 | Edmonton by 3 | B.C. by 6 |
Margin of Error | 5 to 9 | 22 to 40 | 2 to 4 | 4 to 6 |
Drama! JPR edges to within one point of the lead. Can tommytrump hold him off?

This is it! Your last chance for glory. Make it a good one. And try to ignore the fact that half the games are pretty much meaningless.
Calgary @ Winnipeg (Friday, November 5)
Some motivation here: Winnipeg's playing for spots next year, and Calgary won't rest up too much with their bye next week. Enough for a good game?
B.C. @ Hamilton (Saturday, November 6)
Hamilton is getting ready to host their playoff game next week, but B.C. is still in the fight for a spot. The Lions will get the road edge this week.
Edmonton @ Saskatchewan (Saturday, November 6)
This is intriguing: Edmonton is still tied with B.C. for the third playoff spot, but Saskatchewan certainly doesn't want to head into the playoffs with a five-game losing streak on their backs.
Toronto @ Montreal (Sunday, November 7)
Toronto is still smarting from last week's tough loss, but Montreal has the bye next week and will want to keep in shape. Maybe this is a coin toss?
Good luck!

In Ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates was renowned for his wisdom. One day, a man rushed up to him at the Academy, breathless with excitement. He said to Socrates "Do you want to know something about Diogenes?". Calgary by 7.
Socrates regarded the man closely. "I have attained great wisdom through applying a three stage test to all forms of knowledge", he said. "Before you tell me anything, it must pass these tests. First, the test of truth. Is what you are about to tell me the truth about Diogenes?"
"I don't know", the man replied. "I just heard it."
"So", continued the great philosopher, "The second test is the test of goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?". "No, it is not," the man replied, now looking downcast. BC by 7.
"Don't worry, because what you are trying to tell me might still pass the third test", said Socrates. "This is the test of Do No Harm. Is what you are about to tell me going to cause harm to Diogenes or anyone else?". The man now looked very disappointed. "Yes, it would cause harm". The man then realised that he had learned something very important, and so left the great philosopher to his thoughts. Edmonton by 7.
That is why Socrates is revered even today for his great mind and great wisdom. And why he never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife. Montreal by 7.

Even if they do have first-place clinched in the West, I gotta go with Calgary in this one. Bombers might as well close on the note that has resonated their entire season. Stampeders by 6.
This bullshit about resting starters could really bite the Double E in the ass if the Tabbies can't beat the Leos. Must-win for the Lions means they'll be ready. Gotta cheer for the striped cats in this one. In the end though, dammit if the Lions aren't good enough to earn their playoff berth. Lions by 3.
What does that mean, it means that the Double E will be in a must-win situation in Saskatchewan. The Riders are not going to go down on this losing skid. Who are we kidding? Eskimos have salvaged some pride in the new Tillman-era, but the playoffs just aren't meant to be in a season as tarnished as this one. Dan Kepley resigned for chrissakes! Roughriders by 11.
It'd be nice to see the Argos end the regular season on a high-note. The Als need to make sure they're sharp before their week off too. In an almost meaningless game, we might actually have a decent contest. I'll take the Alouettes but not by much. Say a field goal. And somebody please tell Socrates that Diogenes is shagging his wife.
GREAT SEASON, ALL! It's been a blast. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, DrJohnEvans!!!
See you in the post-season!

Case Study: The Huaral Valley Agrarian Information System, Peru
The Huaral Valley project has been included in this toolkit to illustrate a type of community ownership model in which farmers are directly involved in the decision making and implementation of an agrarian information system. Although originally planned as an ICT installation to manage a network of irrigation canals for local farmers, the infrastructure enables telecoms and internet access for poor farming communities that would otherwise have been excluded from such resources. The project also illustrates the importance of leadership and vision to ensure that lobbying and advocacy are undertaken, both within communities and also with the government. In this case, the community, through its irrigation board, was able to lobby for changes in the existing restrictive ICT policy and regulatory frameworks. The result has been more affordable and widespread ICT access for local communities.

Lucky logger?
PAT BELL says he can't think of a better time to be the province's forest minister. Clearly a glass half full kind of person, Mr. Bell, who recently replaced Rich Coleman, says there's boundless opportunity awaiting the forest industry – once everything from a devastated American housing market to pine beetle gets resolved.
Mr. Bell is due to bring his message of optimism to the northwest soon. It's very a much a message of Liberal government new-speak containing buzz phrases such as carbon sequestration and cap and trade.
When Mr. Bell does get back to talking trees, it concerns the decades-long challenge that has faced the forest industry here – what to do with the massive amounts of decadent trees, such as hemlock, that aren't really suitable for sawmilling.
The classic solution has been to log these stands and replant with species that will bring better sawlog value. Mr. Bell's government now has a way to speed that process – it wants to burn the forests. Not as in forest fires, but at huge plants where the heat from the burning wood will turn water into steam to turn turbines to create electricity.
In the provincial government's new-speak it's called bio-energy and in Mr. Bell's view, it could be big business up here. He's even suggesting there's an opportunity to burn one million cubic metres of wood a year here, rivalling what was once under the control of regional forest giant Skeena Cellulose which ran the huge pulp mill in Prince Rupert and three sawmills in the interior.
A wood-burning power plant was even quietly shopped around at the old Skeena Cellulose site here once it became clear its days as a sawmilling location were over.
But here's the thing. Those involved in the local logging industry really want to talk to Mr. Bell about something much more modest – roads, specifically logging roads.
When Skeena Cellulose was the dominant woods industry player its large forest holdings also meant it became a significant road and bridge company. When it disappeared, so did all the maintenance and that's been bad news ever since for smaller companies who can't afford to maintain the roads and bridges leading to where they want to log.
The former minister, Rich Coleman, found the local argument compelling, so much so he backed a proposal for financial aid. It got to the cabinet table before being kicked back so Mr. Coleman could do more work on it.
With Mr. Coleman gone, locals now need to convert Mr. Bell to the cause. If he's smart, he'll make a briefing on this topic first on his northwest agenda. Modest things first. Then big things later on. Sounds like a plan.

Calvin Harris the electronic music maestro recently uploaded "SUGE KNIGHT" to his SoundCloud with a little note stating "Original "Here 2 China" idea before i sent to Dillon Francis !" So there's been a lot of whoopla as to just how much Dillon Francis put is touch on the track. But now you know. So if you were one of those curious as to how much trap Mister Harris but into "Here 2 China," here's the proof that the man knows what he does when he's cheming in the lab. "SUGE KNIGHT" contains all of the elements that "Here 2 China" has including the heavy bass induced beat and repetitive count. And true, Dillon Francis amped up it a little bit but the root is all there. It's interesting to hear how much has changed from the original to the final product.

Here is a snippet: (def spec-map {:int {:type 'ints}}) (defmacro specialize [type body] `(symbol-macrolet [type$ ~(-> spec-map type :type)] ~(w/postwalk (fn [form] (if-let [tag (-> form meta :tag)] (if (= tag 'type$) (with-meta form {:tag (-> spec-map type :type)}) form) form)) (mexpand-all body)))) (defmacro caster [x] `(type$ ~x)) (specialize :int (defn test-getter [x] (let [^type$ x x] (prn "my type" type$) (caster x) (aget x 0)))) It's broken, the error is "Unable to resolve symbol: type$ in this context". Why is it so? Let's macroexpand it: (clojure.tools.macro/symbol-macrolet
[clojure.core.matrix.impl.ndarray-magic/type$ ints]
(def test-getter
(fn* ([x] (let* [x x] (prn "my type" type$) (clojure.core.matrix.impl.ndarray-magic/type$ x) (aget x 0))))))
Now, the reason is obvious: symbol-macrolet expects namespaced symbol, and in expanded form "type$" is once namespaced and once not. I think that symbol-macrolet can (should?) ignore namespacing here. |

Comment by Konrad Hinsen [ 10/Sep/13 4:09 AM ] |
After a bit of thought, I think the right solution is to treat symbol macros like ordinary symbols in evaluation. This means that global definitions (defsymbolmacro) use namespaced symbols, whereas local symbol definitions (symbol-macrolet) accept only plain symbols and raise an exception for qualified symbols, just like let does. With those rules, the way tools.macro handles namespaces in correct code is correct, but it doesn't do the required error handling because it lets you symbol-macrolet qualified symbols. Note also that according to those rules, your example code is not correct. You have to write (symbol-macrolet [~'type$ ...] ...) and (defmacro caster [x] `(~'type$ ~x)) although you might then prefer to write the latter as (defmacro caster [x] (list 'type$ x)) but that's a matter of taste. |

NANOTEC scientists like Dr Nuttaporn Pimpha (above pic) are using nanoparticles to deliver DOX to breast cancer cells
Singapore: Thai Researchers at the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) and King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) developed a target drug delivery system using folate-conjugated pluronic F127/chitosan core-shell nanoparticles to deliver doxorubicin (DOX) to target cancer cells focusing on breast cancer. The research has been published in the Journal of Nanomaterials.
"DOX is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment including breast cancer. However, DOX is also considered a poor soluble drug that is toxic to healthy tissues" said Dr Nuttaporn Pimpha, researcher, Hybrid Nanostructure and Nanocomposite Laboratory, NANOTEC. "By using core-shell nanoparticles from folate-conjugated pluronic F127/chitosan, we were able to develop a delivery vector that has greater targeting ability, chemical stability and lower cytotoxicity."
Cancer is becoming a significant health problem in Thailand, as is the case in several developing countries. Cervix and breast cancer is the leading cause of death in Thai women. The only commercial DOX-encapsulated liposome available is Doxil. However, Doxil has a short half-life in microcirculation and is unstable in the blood stream. Hence there is a need to find a more controlled and stable DOX carrier system.
Steve Brown 21 August 2012 at 11:14 AM
Well another discoveries in preventing cancer's around the globe wherein there a lot of people suffering from it.And It's good to know that this chitosan is one of the ingredient's used for this newly invented product that has a natural fat binder with many positive features of the human organism.And I look forward and pray for your success guys in attaining the right solution's and able to find more of this so called controlled and a stable DOX carrier. [http chitosan elite (dot) com]
Sarah Jennings 2 August 2012 at 08:19 AM
Indeed, chitosan has so many to offer when it comes to have a good healthy living. It has so may uses and benefits in our lives. Chitosan also works well to help the blood clot on its own, even in patients taking blood thinners.

Scarlett Johansson, Sean Penn Split: Report
Well, that didn't last long.
According to sources for PEOPLE, Hollywood's hottest – and slightly head-scratching – couple, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn, have parted ways.
No word yet on why the couple split, though speculation had been brewing ever since Johansson failed to attend the Cannes Film Festival with Penn in May.
Johansson, 26, and Penn, 50, began dating earlier this year, and reportedly attended a number of high-profile events together, including Reese Witherspoon's wedding to agent Jim Toth in March and the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April.

In what could be his most interesting topic covered yet, the Angry Video Game Nerd takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Kicking off the episode with the graphically messed up screens of a Nintendo NES game requiring a quick blow, James meets his latest character creation the Game Glitch Gremlin.
James begins to cover the more fascinating glitches which can benefit gameplay and those that leave you rather speechless. A new Mega Man 5 glitch is presented along with a game crippling glitch from a Mega Man boss fight.
And on the note of being speechless, the final glitch covered in this video is well worth the watch alone.

Recommended line - tight creeks, small flies
I've got a Crystal River 8 1/2 foot graphite rod that is recommended for 6 - 7 wt line.
I'm looking for recommendations for fly line that is suitable for tight creeks (lots of trees and vines everywhere) where I'll be doing a lot of roll casting using very small flies. What line weight do you recommend? Can I go one size smaller than what is recommended on the rod or should I stick to their 6 - 7 wt recommendation? Is weighted forward the only way to go or is double tapered also acceptable for roll casting small flies? Any brand recommendations would also be appreciated. Price is sort of important, but quality is more important. Thanks, Dave |
Hmm, no help yet... OK, I'll reply to myself.
Dear Galong, look on the internet for line reviews and stop being so lazy you silly boy! |
What size fish are you going to be targeting? In the US, tight creeks, roll casting, and very small flies means a 4 wt rod or less.
Hi Teflon Jones,
Thanks for your reply... sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I've been a very busy boy with work. My problem with the creek that I'm targeting is that there is heavy cover, complete with tarzan-ish vines, wild limestone rock formations and lots of trees. I'm already assuming that I'll be doing a lot of roll casting... which I am not very proficient at, but want to learn. :wink: I am targeting barbs mainly. They seem to range from 1/2 a pound up to 2 pounds. I recently bought a bunch of #16 and #18 size flies. I also bought some 4X (6 lb. test) tapered leaders. I'm fairly new to this so I hope I bought the right stuff. I honestly didn't realize the flies were going to be that tiny! :whoa: Anywho, I'm thinking about buying a 4 wt or possibly a 3wt outfit with a rod that's around 8' 6". Any advice, comments, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave From sunny Phuket, Thailand |
Based on the description of the water you are going to be fishing and knowing that price in important to you, I'd recommend you go with a wt double taper (DT6) line. There are several brands selling with DT lines priced about $25.00 that would suit you. The lines targeted at beginner fly fishers, as long as they are the DT lines, would fit your needs well.
Hi flytyer,
Thanks buddy... I think that given your advice perhaps I should try the rod and line that I already have before rushing out to buy a lighter outfit. I've got Scientific Angler WF6F line on one of my outfits. I guess I should try that first and assume that if it doesn't work quite as well as I wish, I could assume that it could be my casting skill instead of the gear. The next step if it truly doesn't work out might be to get so DT line and try that. Thanks again, Dave |
If the creeks have heavy cover, then that rod is much too long. Look for a 7 foot rod. Also, with flies that small, that leader may be too heavy. I'd suggest a 5X or 6X leader for flies that size.
Thanks. That's sort of what I was thinking, but I've read some other threads on a different forum that proposed a longer rod even for small creeks and that a 7 foot rod would really only be good in a very, very specific situation... I guess like you're suggestion here. I'm a bit baffled, which is not too unusual for me :o Maybe I'll see about a shorter rod. Money is important, but having fun is high on my priority list too... and getting my flies stuck in trees doesn't sound very appealing. You can see a photo of the creek I have in mind at http://thailand-adventure.com/khao-sok-pictures.htm. Scroll down to the "creek leading to Nam Thalu Cave" near the bottom of the page. I've been a fly fisherman for a very long time, but not seriously... mostly sponge spiders for Bluegill and the odd bass that likes small food. :wink: Now that I'm in Thailand and want to catch a wide variety of fish, I see the need to expand my knowledge a good bit more. Thanks again, Dave |
For background, streams like that are where I started fly fishing and I've logged hundreds of days and thousands of hours on water like that in my 20 years of fly fishing. You could stretch up to an 8 foot rod if you wanted, but if I were you, I'd go with a 3 weight in 7' or 7'6. Scott |
Hey Scott,
Thanks for the info. It sure seems like I'm gonna need a short rod. I was at that creek over the holiday season and I saw some additional pools that had fairly nice-sized fish. There was almost no casting room though, so a short rod seems like a must. If I ever actually get the time to FISH in that creek, I'll let you know how it turns out. Right now I'm running tours to that area on a regular basis, but not fishing tours. I need a break. :cool: Cheerio, Dave |
Hey Galong. ! Just picked up a nice little 4wt from www.Cabelas.com today. It's only around 7' too. I bought for the same reason you need it. I got it in the clearance section for 39.99. Regular price is 99.00
It's not their top of the line. But I could get a lot worse for 40.00. Don't think the blue gills or perch will break it. lol And yes this is a late post. lol |
That sounds awesome. I don't really want to put a lot of money into a rod that I'm only realistically going to use a few times per year. What model is it? Do you know how long it'll be on clearance? Um, I'm guessing until they run out :D Thanks, Dave |
Hi Dave, sry didn't get back to ya earlier. Went on a ski trip this past weekend.
I just looked and they are sold out of the model I bought. I did notice however they have a 5wt for 20 bucks! Here is the link. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...430&hasJS=true lol long link. They are cheapies but hey for 20 bucks once or twice a year..... I still catch largemouth bass on a 7wt ebay special. lol. Most of my money is in saltwater stuff. |
Hey Tom,
Wow, now that's what I call a deal! Thanks for the lead. My sister-in-law is looking to get into fly fishing and this might just be the rod for her to start with too. She's not sure if she'll like it or if she'll have time to go fishing much, but hey, for $20... :smokin: I'll convince her to buy one for herself... and one for me while she's at it. :o Sorry for the slight delay in thanking you. I had to slip down to Singapore for a couple days. In spite of being a city-state, Singapore is really green. The planning is obvious and unlike Thailand, there is no trash lying around. One thing they don't have though is a fly fishing shop. :) Ciao, Dave |

The First Kansas Colored
They were the first black men to fight in the Civil War. They were the first to serve alongside whites. And they were the first to die.
February/March 1992 | Volume 43, Issue 1
Kansas had an unusually large number of people with progressive racial views. The territory had been settled in the 185Os, the defining group of men coming from New England with a moral purpose: to make sure Kansas entered the Union free of slavery. They had been fighting since 1854. John Brown had murdered in Kansas in the name of abolitionism before returning east to raid Harpers Ferry and become to abolitionists the martyred symbol of the North's cause. The commander of Fort Gibson, which Williams's supply train was struggling to reach, was Col. William A. Phillips, a friend of the abolitionist Horace Greeley and a free-soil veteran of the struggles in Kansas before the war. And the commanding general for the entire "Army of the Frontier" was James G. Blunt, a goateed, Maine-born abolitionist doctor who learned his fighting with John Brown during the "Bleeding Kansas" days and was as combative and paranoid as Lane was unscrupulous. The two worked closely together to get blacks under arms, formalities be damned.
Southerners hated Kansas soldiers because of what Kansas represented. Its citizens were in general strongly identified with New England, and Confederates everywhere showed their anti-New England feelings by calling all Northerners Yankees. Thomas J. Key, a Kansan who had supported slavery in the struggles there during the 185Os and who fought for the South, described the Southerners' widespread beliefs when he said he "hated the base and amorous race of Puritans" because they advocated miscegenation. The Southern bushwhacker William Quantrill would sack and burn Lawrence, Kansas—the heart of abolitionist sentiment—and murder all the town's men out of hatred for what Kansas abolitionists represented and partly in response to the successes of the 1st Kansas Colored.
Kansas's reputation drew a steady influx of slaves fleeing Missouri and Arkansas as soon as fight. ing started. They tend- ed to congregate in Leavenworth, although many found greater acceptance, and safety, among the Indian tribes just beyond the white settlements. When the war began in 1861, Kansas had barely eight hundred blacks; by 1865, more than thirteen thousand had made their way to freedom there.
Caesar Johnson was typical of these fugitive slaves. He had belonged to a master in Arkansas, but once the war began, he escaped west into Indian Territory. For a time he lived among the Cherokees, even taking one for a wife. Eventually he made his way through the prairies north to Kansas, first to Lawrence because of its abolitionist reputation, then to Leavenworth to find work. He enlisted in the 1st Kansas Colored there.
Once in Kansas, many blacks had difficulty adjusting to freedom. Often they equated work with slavery and rebelled against it. Often they didn't want to enlist either. They not only feared leaving their families helpless but also worried about mistreatment by the Army; some had heard that President Lincoln would sell them back into slavery once the war was over. In particular, blacks found insulting the terms Senator Lane offered them: ten dollars a month and a "certificate of freedom." White soldiers received thirteen dollars, and blacks in Kansas did not need any certificate- they were free. Still, a lot did enlist. They preferred to fight their former masters than to hide from them, and to them, the war was about slavery.
Many more had no choice. As Colonel Williams drilled his first recruits outside Leavenworth in the summer of 1862—out of sight because of the hostility conservative whites felt about giving blacks uniforms and rifles—Senator Lane warned the ex-slaves: "Negroes are mistaken if they think white men can fight for them while they stay at home. We have opened the pathway. We don't want to threaten, but we have been saying that you would fight, and if you won't fight we will make you." Some of the 1st Kansas Colored's initial missions in the fall of 1862 were raids to "liberate" slaves and bring them into the Army at bayonet point.
Many officers in Kansas bickered about whether blacks should be allowed to serve in the Army as a result of Senator Lane's recruiting and Colonel Williams's drilling, and when President Lincoln announced the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862, some of them grew so disgusted that they resigned their commissions.
Williams's response to the turmoil his activities were causing in Leavenworth was simple: he ignored it. The authorities were a problem, but after all, he had hundreds of armed men to enforce his will, and in mid-July 1862 Congress had at last made it legal to "enroll persons of African descent" for "any service for which they may be found competent." So Williams did as he wished, and he wished to recruit, arm, and drill black men.

Who doesn't love a little Ralph Lauren? The clean Americana feel to the brand is the perfect inspiration for a wedding – which Coastside Couture totally recognized when she was designing a stunning shoot at Holman Ranch. Everything about the shoot is super chic & vintage Americana, right down to the stars & stripes table runner. With Mike Larson behind the lens and a gallery full of inspiration, I'm not sure this morning could get any better!
Click here to see the full image gallery!
From Coastside Couture … This styled shoot was based off of old-school Ralph Lauren ads. Holman Ranch was the perfect venue to make this shoot happen with it's intimate spaces that are typically not used for larger weddings. We wanted to bring a feeling of lush and abundance to a summer elopement and the gorgeous floral and copious food tables did just that.
We mixed pieces such as the vintage american flag used as a table runner with modern glassware, bright flowers and a touch of plaid indicative of a classic Ralph Lauren ad. We included a bounty of local food such as the plated artichokes, local artisan breads and featured Holman Ranch Estate olive oil and wine.

Removing joy of learning from public schools
Nat Hentoff notes, 'Jefferson, Madison were not flattened by standardized tests'
Because of the failing economy, American public-school budgets are being cut and teachers are being laid off. The result is the alarming loss of classes in civics, U.S. history and the arts. The curriculum is aggressively engaged in a rigid emphasis on standardized tests in reading, math and certain other areas.
Arne Duncan, President Barack Obama's Department of Education secretary, promises even more such tests ("A not-so-modest proposal," the Washington Post, April 11). And in New York City, where I live, self-titled "Education Mayor" Michael Bloomberg will use 10 percent of the $256 million Race to the Top money it won in Obama's much-touted special-education reform funds to establish "16 new standardized exams in the third through 12th grades" (New York Times, May 23).
However, as I have reported, in several cities and even a few school systems, some teachers are learning – as one of them wrote in a June 3 letter in the New York Times – that far too many public schools are "sucking the joy and life out of learning and school by viewing education solely through the narrow lens of tests, tests and more tests."
In the Washington Post's valuable regular guide for parents, "The Answer Sheet" (April 26), there is this blunt response to the test-intoxicated education reform establishment:
"The traditional emphasis on learners storing information in their heads no longer makes much sense. The young need to learn to process and to apply information."
They especially need to get the confidence and satisfaction of being able to think critically, and, in doing so, become lifelong learners.
Otherwise, as Albert Einstein once said, "It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."
Here comes the Washington Post's Marion Brady – a veteran educator and columnist who has clearly learned how to think critically – with "A not-so-modest proposal" (April 11) that can liberate public-school students from having their curiosity and love of learning numbed by standardized tests.
In this proposal, Brady says: "We're told that governments at all levels – federal, state and local – are worse than broke, and that the services they provide, including education, must be cut."
However, Brady adds, "There's one multibillion-dollar cost of educating that's not scheduled to be cut – high-stakes standardized testing."
Providing hard-edged credibility to this proposal to flunk standardized mass-testing is a report that should be made available to all parents of public-school students: "Panel Finds Few Learning Benefits in High-Stakes Exams" (Education Week, June 8). The source of this vital discovery is a committee of the National Academies' National Research Council, composed – as Education Week reports – of "a who's who of national experts in education, law, economics and social science."
This committee "undertook a nearly decade-long study of test-based incentive systems … While the panel says it supports evaluating educational systems and holding them accountable," it was discovered that this fixation on standardized testing of students collectively – not individually – has "had little or no effect on actual student learning, and in some cases has run counter to their intended purposes." Wow!
Not only parents, but also the nation's governors, mayors, school boards and principals, should read and circulate this report, including this fateful passage:
"In fact, the report found that, rather than leading to higher academic achievement, high school exit exams have decreased graduation rates nationwide by an average of about 2 percentage points."
The keyword is "decreased." And dig this: "The study found a growing heap of evidence that schools and districts have tinkered with how and when students take exit exams as well as other high-stakes tests in order to boost scores on paper for students who do not know the material – or to prevent those students from taking the tests at all."
I have reported on schools where students with English-language learning difficulties and other special needs are precluded and hindered from taking these high-stakes tests, which are increasingly used to "evaluate" teachers deserving of more pay or dismissal for their alleged ability to actually prepare students for fruitful lives beyond school. The tests can be rigged.
What's the alternative? One, among others that go much deeper than mass-testing, was reported by Winnie Hu of the New York Times (March 1, 2010): "This year, all 428 sixth-graders at (public) Linwood Middle School in North Brunswick, N.J., are charting their own academic path with personalized student-learning plans – electronic portfolios containing information about their learning styles, interests, skills, career goals and extracurricular activities." That's the very start of lifelong learning for each student!
"These new learning plans will follow each sixth-grader through high school and are intended to help the students assess their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as provide their parents and teachers with a more complete profile beyond grades and test scores."
Now that, at last, makes sense! But the media spent enormous resources on U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner's sexually explicit digital escapades and none on this crucial awakening to real-life education reform.
No wonder we elect so many public officials uneducated in who we are as constitutionally self-governing Americans! Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were not flattened by standardized tests.

Yes, he is the Meta-version of the Battler from the first arc, but he doen't have to wait for the new Battler to die since he is already observing the game and the piece-Battler's doing. He has more or less a general knowledge of the game beacuse he's playing it and he can see everything that happens and Beatrice lets him to.

Riding high on the success of its market offering that helped the company raise Rs 6,100 crore through qualified institutional placement (QIP) of shares, Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications (RCom) has set itself an internal target of reducing its overall debt by Rs 20,000 crore by March 31,2016 mainly by divesting stake in prime real estate properties and selling off some of its assets. The company has worked out a strategic asset monetisation plan to achieve the plan.
The company has decided to sell off some of the prime real estate property over the next 2-3 quarters. "QIP is the first milestone in RCom's overall debt reduction plan… with real estate sale the company hopes, it will garner at least Rs 5,000 crore to further reduce its debt," a company source said.RCom's overall debt stood at Rs 40,000 crore as on March 31 2014.
When contacted, the company spokesperson declined to comment.
"Amongst the initiatives laid out are monetising RCom's asset includes, stake sale in the company's international undersea cable arm Global Cloud Exchange and hiving off of its non-core DTH business, Big TV," the source added.
The company is also likely to appoint consultants soon for selling its properties. "Knight Frank and CB Richard Ellis are likely to indentify the property for sale and also for developing commercial, residential and IT parks," sources managing RCom's asset monetisation plans said.

Case in point: The newest song by the reunited Postal Service, which is called "A Tattered Line of String"—an oh-so precious title you might joke about being the name of the new Postal Service song, like "A Cat Who Could Not Meow" or "Wicker Basket Full of Fluf," except it's actually real. Regardless of anyone's snarky styling on Gibbard's delicate sensibilities, it sounds like a winning return to form for the band's glitchy, feather-light affectations, filled with breathlessly romantic lyrics about kissing and being unable to resist said kissing. It'll appear on the 10th anniversary deluxe reissue of Give Up, which is out on April 9.
