Loss of consciousness
Of the various symptoms described, we will first look into loss of consciousness. A person with risk factors for chronic vascular diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular diseases, must be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. This is because there is a risk of developing a more serious condition, stroke. Until the exact causes are found, the patient should avoid driving and any dangerous situations. Pathologies of the brain can also lead to speech difficulties, double vision, gait abnormality, and unilateral sensorimotor deficits. These manifestations can occur suddenly in the case of bleeding or obstruction of the vessels in the brain, or gradually in the case of brain tumors. Of course, other symptoms such as headaches and dizziness can also occur. However, headaches and dizziness themselves are more likely to be due to other problems rather than stroke or brain tumors.
A stroke is an emergency situation, so if any neurological symptoms arise suddenly, it is best to visit an emergency department at a hospital. You should avoid shaking, sitting up, bleeding the fingers and toes, or giving "cheongsimhwan" (a type of traditional medicine) to a person who has lost consciousness. If the person is also experiencing seizures, refrain from putting something in the mouth to prevent the person from biting his or her tongue. Stay calm, place the patient in a safe position on their side, and make sure that any vomit or saliva does not enter or obstruct the trachea. Remove ties or belts, and observe the face, lip color, sweating, and the movement of the arms and legs of the patients and record it so that it can be delivered to the hospital with the patient to help with the diagnosis.
Of the various types of headaches, an extremely severe pain that feels like being hit on the head with a hammer, with neck stiffness, may indicate subarachnoid hemorrhage, caused by the rupture of a cerebral artery aneurysm. The condition can be cured by neurological surgery, involving clipping the aneurysm. This condition also requires emergency treatment.
However, for other types of general chronic headaches, the cause must be identified first ― whether it is vascular headache or muscle-related pain, in order to provide appropriate treatment. Most chronic headaches are worsened by anxiety, fatigue, stress, and overwork, so such cases must be addressed appropriately. Recently, triptan family medicines have been developed to effectively treat vascular headaches such as migraine.
If there are flu-like symptoms, associated with severe headache and neck stiffness, meningitis may be the cause. If this is the case, appropriate active treatment is needed according to the causes of meningitis.
Dizziness is also a common symptom, and the cause of dizziness must be identified ― whether it is due to problems in the peripheral nervous system (semicircular canal, otolithic organs, or vestibular ganglion), or due to central nervous system or vascular problems. The causes of central nervous system problems leading to dizziness include problems in the vertebrobasilar arterial system that supplies blood to the cerebellum and the brainstem. There is a need to exclude rare causes such as brain tumor or degenerative diseases including cerebellar atrophy. Benign paroxysmal position vertigo, a peripheral cause of dizziness by otolithiasis, can be treated by canal reposition maneuvers which repositions the otolith. Vestibular neuritis can be overcome by the treatment of the acute phase, followed by vestibular rehabilitation. Therefore, appropriate diagnosis, followed by the right treatment or exercises are needed to overcome the symptoms.
Most recent treatments
There has been significant advancement in the field of neurology treatment. Thrombolytic therapy in ischemic strokes can produce good outcomes if used within 3 hours of occurrence. Other intervention treatments have been developed, which have allowed treatment of various cerebrovascular diseases without an open craniotomy. New antiplatelets and anticoagulants have been developed which have improved the side effects of stroke medications. New methods of finding the epileptogenic focus in epilepsy has been developed, leading to the development of epilepsy surgery to remove the foci. This has opened a new chapter in the treatment of intractable epilepsy. Since the 1990s and onwards, approximately 10 new antiepileptics have been developed. Now, about 20 emerging medications are being researched. With the development of brain stimulation therapy, it is possible to treat the neurological diseases by inserting intracranial electrodes to electrically stimulate the target area. This has led to the development of neurostimulation therapy for Parkinson's disease, by inserting depth electrodes into the deep brain area to improve the symptoms of advanced Parkinson's disease patients. By electrically stimulating the vagus nerve, seizures can be controlled in epileptic patients. A responsive neurostimulator, which records the signals of epileptic areas to deliver stimulation at the same time as the seizures occur, is also being developed.
Four pharmacological agents from the family of cholinesterase inhibitors have been developed to improve the symptoms of dementia. New agents are being developed with various mechanisms of action to treat abnormal movement disorders. With other developments in sleep medicine, various hypnotics have also been developed. Serotonin-related medications have also been developed for depression related to brain lesions.
In terms of surgical treatment, microscopic surgical methods and navigation during surgery have been developed to produce a better neurosurgical outcome. Other modalities, such as the gamma-knife, which uses gamma rays and the high-intensity focused ultrasound, are being used in neurosurgery.
With neurophysiological monitoring system during surgery, it is possible to minimize any neurological complications from neurosurgery. High-resolution brain imaging has allowed diagnoses that are more accurate by being able to visualize structural abnormalities in the brain, to improve treatment. More recently, advancements in immunology have allowed the development of treatments for immunological encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, and neuromyelitis optica, which is common in the Asian population.
Generally, the neurons cannot be regenerated once they are damaged. However, they have the plasticity to help the function of the surrounding cells, so function can recover to some extent. Once any symptoms arise, it is important to see a neurologist to improve such plasticity. Most importantly, it is best to prevent any damage from occurring. However, even if a disease is already present, continued treatment and diagnosis by a specialist will help with recovery. If you experience any of the symptoms described previously, you should see a doctor to find out the cause of such symptoms. If you do not have a particular condition, you and your doctor can work together to manage such symptoms.
Many people are using health supplements and traditional remedies, and other methods to maintain health. Rather than relying on such methods, it is best to simply avoid overworking, staying up all night, or drinking alcohol, while regularly eating well, sleeping and exercising to maintain your health. This is a more economical and effective method to maintain basic health as well as brain health. If you experience any symptoms, it is best that you see a doctor.

Three UCLA Student-Athletes Honored On Academic All-District Team
May 21, 2009
Three UCLA student-athletes were selected to the CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District VIII At-Large teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Men's tennis player Michael Look earned first-team honors, while gymnast Ariana Berlin and golfer Tiffany Joh received second-team acclaim. Look is now eligible for the national Academic All-America ballot.
Look, a senior from Redcliffe, Australia, was recently named the 2009 UCLA Men's Scholar-Athlete of the Year for owning the highest grade point average amongst his peers (3.91). A two-time First-Team All-Pac-10 Academic selection, Look enjoyed a fine 2009 season, achieving a career-high national singles ranking of No. 74. He was also ranked No. 52 nationally in doubles with partner Nick Meister. Look recently helped the Bruins advance to the semifinals at the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships in College Station, Texas. A singles quarterfinalist at the Pac-10 Championships in Ojai, Calif., Look finished his senior season with a 19-9 overall mark in singles, and a 15-10 record in doubles play.
Berlin, a senior from San Diego, CA, was the 2009 Pac-10 Scholar Athlete of the Year for gymnastics, posting a 3.56 cumulative GPA in World Arts & Culture. She had a standout senior year, placing fourth in the all-around and fifth on uneven bars and earning All-America honors for the first time in her career. She closed out her stellar Bruin career having hit 96% of her routines without a fall, and she never missed a competition, competing in 57 consecutive meets. This is Berlin's first-ever Academic All-District honor.
Joh, who is also a senior from San Diego, CA, carries a 3.45 cumulative GPA in Communication Studies and is a two-time selection to the Pac-10 All-Academic team. A three-time collegiate All-American, she won her second U.S. Amateur Publinks title last June after playing on the victorious U.S. Curtis Cup Team. In September, she represented the United States on the World Amateur Team. Last May, she tied for first individually at the NCAA Championship before falling in a playoff. In 2006, she was voted the Pac-10 Newcomer of the year. Two years ago she won the Pac-10 individual title, and in 2008 she was voted the Pac-10 Player of the Year. The Joh has earned 10 nominations to the UCLA Director's Honor Roll.

Another post around case management shipped with jBPM 7. This time some additions for case comments that improves communication and collaboration.
jBPM 7.5 brings in case comment notifications.
That means case participants can be notified directly when they are being mentioned in the case comments. What's really worth noting is that this is completely integrated with case roles. In fact when you mention someone you mention by case role, there is no need to know who is actually assigned to the given role.
That enables smooth collaboration and plays nicely with dynamic nature of case instances and case role assignments.
This listener has three properties that are configurable but comes with defaults for easier setup
Notification publisher interface (org.kie.internal.utils.NotificationPublisher) comes with three methods:
jBPM 7.5 brings in case comment notifications.
That means case participants can be notified directly when they are being mentioned in the case comments. What's really worth noting is that this is completely integrated with case roles. In fact when you mention someone you mention by case role, there is no need to know who is actually assigned to the given role.
That enables smooth collaboration and plays nicely with dynamic nature of case instances and case role assignments.
Comment notificationsComment notification processing is provided as case event listener that is NOT registered by default though it can be easily registered via deployment descriptor (as event listener).
This listener has three properties that are configurable but comes with defaults for easier setup
- sender (defaults to email@example.com)
- template (defaults to mentioned-in-comment)
- subject (defaults to You have been mentioned in case ({0}) comment)
{0} place holder will be replaced with actual case id that comment belongs to.
So if you would like to use different values for sender, template and subject, you can provide them as constructor parameters when registering the listener in deployment descriptor:
new org.jbpm.casemgmt.impl.event.CommentNotificationEventListener(
"New comment has been added to case {0}");
Comment notifications are published only when there are any roles mentioned. Roles are then resolved to users or groups assigned to the mentioned roles and then used to publish notification.
First it will attempt to publish notification with the template name it has defined, and if not found then it will send the comment body as raw text.
When sending with templates it will provide following parameters that can be used in the template to be replaced with actual values:
- _CASE_ID_ - case id of the case the comment belongs to
- _AUTHOR_ - author of the comment
- _COMMENT_ - comment text (body)
- _COMMENT_ID_ - unique id of the comment
- _CREATED_AT_ - date when the comment was added
Then in the template you can refer to these parameters like this:
You have been mentioned in case comment by ${_AUTHOR_} most likely requires your attention
Notification publishersNotifications are build as pluggable component and by default jBPM 7.5 comes with email based notification publisher. Notification publishers are discovered on runtime based on ServiceLoader mechanism, so as long as you have jbpm-workitems-email on class path then you have email based notification publisher.
Notification publisher interface (org.kie.internal.utils.NotificationPublisher) comes with three methods:
- publish notification with raw body
- publish notification built from a template
- indication if given publisher is active
Email notification publisherEmail based notification publisher uses two important components to do its work:
- java mail session that can either be retrieved from JNDI of application server (recommended as it hides the complexity needed to properly setup and secure communication with mail server) or based on property file
- user info implementation to resolve user ids to email addresses
Since email publisher is discovered on runtime via ServiceLoader then there is no easy way to pass in other objects when initialising it. So it relies on some convention:
- java mail session
- register mail session in JNDI via application server configuration and then point the JNDI name via system property so jBPM can pick it up
- -Dorg.kie.mail.session=java:jboss/mail/jbpmMailSession
- create email.properties file on the root of the class path with following properties
- mail.smtp.host
- mail.smtp.port
- mail.username
- mail.password
- mail.tls
- user info implementation is automatically retrieved from the environment via org.jbpm.runtime.manager.impl.identity.UserDataServiceProvider
To handle templates there is an extra component (TemplateManager) that allows to deal with html based templates managed with free marker to render actual body of the notifications.
Email templates
Emails can be build with templates to allow better looking notifications than just raw content. TemplateManager that comes with email notification publisher can be used to define custom templates and then use them for your notifications and also email (that are send via EmailWorkItemHandler).
To make use of email templates you need to set the location where those templates are stored via system properties:
- org.jbpm.email.templates.dir - this property should point to an absolute file system path and must resolve to a directory.
- org.jbpm.email.templates.watcher.enabled - optionally you can enable watcher thread that will load updated, added or removed templates without the need to restart the server
- org.jbpm.email.templates.watcher.interval - when using watcher you can also control the poll interval for it, it defaults to 5 and can be changed with this property that represents number of seconds
Emails are processed by free marker so make sure you define templates according to rules for free marker. Each time comment notification is issued it will attempt to use template named mentioned-in-comment and then if failed will send the comment as raw notification.
Implementing your custom notification publisherSince notification publishers are pluggable you might want to implement your own, e.g. SMS notification. To do that follow these simple steps and off you go:
- implement org.kie.internal.utils.NotificationPublisher your custom class with the mechanism chosen to send notification
- create file name org.kie.internal.utils.NotificationPublisher under META-INF/services and paste the fully qualified class name of your implementation
- usually it's a good practice to implement isActive method with system property to allow to disable given publisher on runtime without a need to remove it from class path
- package everything in a jar file and place it on class path e.g. kie-server.war/WEB-INF/lib
And that's all, your notification publisher is now active and will be used whenever someone is mentioned in the comments.
See it in action
Below is a screencast showing it in action using Case management showcase app.
As usual stay tuned and comments are more than welcome.

The following excerpts are from a talk on DISINFORMATION IN THE LIBERAL MEDIA, given March 26 [1985] at a CAUSA USA Regional Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The speaker, Mr. Tomas Schuman (Yuri Bezmenov), was formerly a correspondent for the Soviet Novosti Press Agency, specializing in producing disinformation for the foreign media. A defector, Mr. Schuman now works as a political analyst and public speaker on disinformation and other activities of the Soviet KGB.
My dear American capitalists, and oppressed masses, I would like to start my talk with three magic words, which usually give three years of imprisonment to any citizen of any socialist country if they pronounce these three magic words loudly and continuously: "I love America." Apart from loving America, I also love CAUSA, if only for one reason, that they can collect so many interesting people in one room, including Hispanics and blacks.
I'm very happy to see many black Americans in this room, because my message concerns you, greatly. I believe that black is beautiful, but unlike some of your liberals, I practice what I preach. I live in a black area of Los Angeles, in the city which has the best black mayor in the United States, Tom Bradley. I am married to a girl who is rather black, maybe not as black as Andrew Young or Jesse Jackson, but nobody's perfect. And I am trying to bring such beautiful concepts as equality, justice, and freedom into practical implementation. And believe me, I am not telling these things to you people just to please you. I am not running for political office. I don't want anything from you people. I am not selling anything, I don't want any money. I'm simply telling you what I feel.
The rest of my message may not be as pleasant. I'm going to tell you something that is extremely unpleasant to hear. My impression and my knowledge, based on my experience on the Soviet side, is that much of the American mass media is being manipulated by the Soviet KGB. That was my job for about 12 years. There is a strange, nagging negativism in the American mass media in relation to America. The monopolized media in the United States tends to blame everything on the United States--earthquakes arranged by the CIA, acid rains come from American capitalism, oppression, discrimination, racism, come from America. I'm not disputing that there are some bigots in the United States: bigots are everywhere, and through the history of mankind there were people who were pathologically unable to be friendly to blacks, yellows, or any race.
I'm talking about governmental, state racism. This is something that never existed in the United States in observable history. America is not racist. Socialism is. And I'm going to demonstrate to you how and which way. When this morning I was on radio talk show, some caller said, "Mr. Schuman, we don't want to discuss differences between capitalism and socialism. We want to discuss the injustices which exist in both camps." Obviously, he doesn't know what real injustice means.
Before I go into specifics about the mass media, why the media is so masochistic about the United States, why they lie to you--and I'm going to prove how they lie to you--I'm going to show you several pictures which will give you a glimpse into my life and my activity as a Soviet product, as a Soviet disinformation agent, and believe me I was not a spy.
When you watch your Hollywood movies about James Bond espionage, please believe me, most of it is pure garbage. The Soviet KGB do not need any James Bonds today; YOU GIVE THEM THE SECRETS, or SELL THEM THE SECRETS. I was engaged in something much more unpleasant than espionage. I was engaged in ideological subversion, which is seldom explained to people by your media, because the media is part of that process.
Let me show you part of my life story and activity. This is the town in the suburbs of Moscow where I was born. You can see Comrade Lenin's statue in the middle of the central square, on the right. This is a typical decoration in any Soviet city.
Comrade Lenin is described in your mass media as a great politician, and great revolutionary. He is the idol of many of your intellectuals and freedom fighters and civil rights movements. The United Nations recently celebrated the anniversary of Comrade Lenin's birthday. And your government sent congratulational telegrams to my government.
Now please try to understand that in the eyes of people who walk by Comrade Lenin's statue, he was a short, bald man with a speech impediment who died from syphilis, and who introduced the system of mass terror and concentration camps in my country long before these beautiful ideas came to the mind of Adolf Hitler. Nazis killed 6 million Jews. The system established by Lenin killed 66 million of my people. Do you see the difference? Or similarity? You don't have time to count how many people were killed by the system which is glorified in your mass media.
This is another great politician, the statue of Comrade Stalin, and [me] at the age of 6 or 7. When I realized that the mass media lied to both my people and your people when they describe Uncle Joe as a peacemaker. President Roosevelt called him a nice, charming Uncle Joe. The New York Times described him as a great humanist at the time when he was killing millions of my people.
At the age of 6, as you can see, I realized perfectly well that the United States is not my enemy. You have to be an exceptionally dumb child at the age of 6 to believe that such delicious food as Spam meat was supplied to us by the enemy. When Soviet propaganda tried to convince me that United States [was] just about to invade us, believe me, kids in my school and thousands of other schools were counting the days and minutes: When is Gen. Patton to invade our country?! We wanted to be invaded. We wanted to own blue jeans, jazz records with Glenn Miller music, more chocolate bars, more condensed milk, more Spam meat. We did not want Uncle Joe. Yet your presidents, multinationals, and religious groups imposed Uncle Joe on us to continue the slavery in my country. With your silent consent.
This is my father on the right, Inspector of Land Forces of the Soviet Army General Staff. He inspected Soviet troops stationed in such countries as China, Mongolia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and East Germany, where one of your officers was killed last morning. My father died in 1973, but believe me, his comrades are doing the same job right now, inspecting Soviet troops in such countries as Nicaragua, El Salvador, Yemen, Mozambique, Syria, and Iraq. You want more? There are more. Zimbabwe, Angola, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan. You want more? Well, keep on sitting on your fat bottoms. There will be more countries like that.
Your media, your beautiful intellectuals, your think tanks, which I call stink tanks, all these countries they describe as Third World countries, nonaligned countries, and neutral countries. Some idiots come forward with such names as liberated, anti-colonial countries. Sensible people in my country--the Russians as you call us--we have different names for these countries. We call them betrayed countries, betrayed by your government, by your multinationals, by the dim wits of your establishment, intellectuals, some of your freedom and whatever fighters. And there will be more countries like that until you understand the difference between freedom and slavery.
This is the college from which I graduated: Institute of Oriental Languages, a small, elitist school for children of high-ranking officials of the USSR. I studied the languages of India, Pakistan, Hindi and Urdu. I also studied history, economy, political science, communications, mass media--anything that would enable me to be an effective Soviet bureaucrat in India.
I also studied the music of India, as you can see. I even tried to look like an Indian when I was a second year student, and I was encouraged to do so because we were preparing to be foreign correspondents, diplomats or spies.
[Picture not from book.] As every other Soviet student, I had to volunteer to harvest grain in Soviet collective farms. Strictly according to Marxist-Leninist slogans, those who do not work shall not eat. You can see me eating; therefore, I was working.
This is the area where Soviet students spend their vacation; it is marked by the yellow color; it is called Kazakhstan. The picture is taken from an American news magazine, US News & World Report. I demonstrate it to you as an example of the monumental ignorance of your mass media. They call this area Russia's breadbasket. I hope you people realize that Russia's breadbasket is not Kazakhstan; it is Kansas, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio.
This is my first assignment as a translator with a Soviet economic aid group building oil refineries. At the time I realized that what we were doing in India has nothing to do with friendship, cooperation. detente, peace. What we were doing was building a carbon-copy of the Soviet socialist system in India, peacefully, without tanks. I hated socialism back home, yet I did my job in India. Why? Simple.
My country sent me to India. My country, good or bad, I love my country, and I still do even though I despise the system. I tried to be friendly to Indians. I was trying to be friendly to little Indians like this boy [not shown]. I was trying to be friendly to not-so-little Indians like this girl.
If you remember, Karl Marx said, 'Proletarians of all the countries, unite.' To be a good Marxist, I wanted to unite with a nice proletarian girl. I was always crazy about Oriental girls for a very simple reason: apart from being a "racist" I spent my childhood in the Oriental part of USSR, in Kazakhstan. My father was fighting on the front lines; my mother was working in the factories. My adopted mother was an Oriental girl with dark skin and slanted eyes. That was the first lady [who] showed me some respect, love and tenderness, changed my diapers and wiped my nose. As every normal child, I remember her face for the rest of my life. I did not want to marry a fat, white Russian girl. I wanted to marry a slender, dark Indian girl.
I wish I could explain it to your freedom fighters in the United States, who blame America for being racist. It is my country, under Soviet socialism, which is the most racist system in the world. By law in USSR, I was not allowed to marry a foreign girl, and--Marx forbid!--to make love to her, because the Communist Party has control on my genes and chromosomes. I was not allowed to marry into an 'inferior race,' and this is something that I have desperately tried to explain to your civil rights activists who blame America.
They show you these pictures, taken from Time magazine: a black South African showing his passport. "Worldwide outcry against racism." Yes, it is a shame to deny certain parts of a population--the majority of blacks in South Africa--their political rights. I am not debating that. Yes, it is a shame to have a passport, an internal document, which is unheard of in the United States, with a picture, description of nationality or racial origin, and a police rubber stamp, which prescribes for this man where he is supposed to live. His place of residence, right?
Now, why don't you look at this passport--it is my passport, a Soviet passport. There is my picture. There is a police rubber stamp which prescribes where I have to reside, and there is my indication of racial origin on the right bottom line; it says 'Ruski,' Russian. I was lucky to be Russian. But if I were born a Jew in a God-forsaken village, I had no right to move from one city to another. Now there are demonstrations in front of the South African Embassy because 30 blacks were killed in South Africa. Have you ever heard about anyone of your liberal establishment demonstrating in front of the Soviet embassy, [which] killed 15 million Ukrainians, 2 million Crimean Tartars, and thousands of other ethnic minorities in my country? Where are your Jesse Jacksons? Why don't they demonstrate in front of the Soviet embassy? Please explain it to me; maybe I'm a dumb Russian. Maybe I don't understand what racism is. THIS IS RACISM!
Coming back to my wife's story--the Communist Party didn't want me to marry an Indian girl, so I had to marry this nice Russian girl in the middle. I couldn't stand her, but that was the desire of my superiors. A Soviet bureaucrat of my caliber is not allowed to marry anyone he wants. My wife has to go through security clearance. Without love, husband and wife in the Soviet bureaucracy become virtually informers on each other to prevent defection. And if you behave like a good boy, if you marry who they want you to marry, this is what happens.
A status symbol of a Soviet young bureaucrat, government job, private car, nice-looking wife who speaks English--she hates you very much and reports everything you say to KGB--and a transistor radio, manufactured in Japan to listen to Voice of America.
[Picture not from book.]If you behave like a good boy, they promote you. You can see me on the right as a press officer of the USSR Embassy translating a speech by a Soviet boss on the occasion of the commissioning of this oil refinery in India. When the job was done, I was transferred back to Moscow to work for the Novosti Press Agency.
This is headquarters of Novosti. Novosti means 'news' in Russian. Novosti has nothing to do with news. Novosti is the KGB-controlled front for political indoctrination, ideological subversion, espionage and terrorism.
Part of my job was to manipulate and befriend students of Patrice Lumumba Friendship University. This is a group of such students visiting the Kremlin with me. They don't look like students, and they were not. Nor were they spies.
They were future agents of disinformation, subversion and terrorism. They were imported to the USSR from Asia, Africa and Latin America, trained at Lumumba Friendship University, then for two years in KGB school, then dispatched back to their countries. And after a short period of time, they become leaders of national liberation movements.
And when they destabilize their own country, they start indiscriminately shooting and killing their own people. And when they do that, beautiful journalists of the United States describe these bandits as "anti-government guerrillas," "leftist rebels," right? Some even come forward with such fancy names as "freedom fighters," or "fighters for majority rule." Now, when Salvadorans want to fight back against these KGB-trained bandits and assassins and rapists, when Salvadorans shoot back, what does The New York Times call them? "Death squads," "right-wing death squads." Now, these are left-wing death squads. You ever heard this name in your media? Why not? Explain to me why not.
Continued in Part Two.

This is probably a hot button to push, but after going through a few magazines and blogs lately, we've started to pick up on a vintage taxidermy décor trend. In fact, we recently visited a home for a potential house tour and the owners had a pretty substantial collection of vintage stuffed owls standing alert on top of their bookcases (truth be told, it was kind of creepy). What are your thoughts on vintage taxidermy as home décor?

His wife of 55 years, Rosita, to start with; his neighborhood, the North End of Boston, where he has been living no-stop since 1962; even the choir he sings in, the one at St. Leonard Church (formerly Sacred Heart, then forced to move after the parishes consolidation in the early 2000s) he joined a couple of months after moving here. "I was walking down Hanover Street [the neighborhood's main thoroughfare] when I heard singing voices coming out of a church," he recalls in great detail. "I just entered and asked: 'Need an extra voice?' They said 'Yes', and here I am, still rehearsing and performing, 50 years later."Today, he can still hear the singing from his house or, even better, from his landmark Café dello Sport, a veritable Boston institution and the reason why he is universally known within the Italian community, and way beyond. The café (or bar as Italians call it, and Americans should too as it does have a hard liquor license) along with his home and church form Angelo's life triangle, the longest side of which is probably 50 yards!
Yet this was not the product of an early choice: In fact, what today defines and identifies Angelo Cattaneo in the eyes of the neighborhood came at the end of a long jack-of-all-trades type career that started in 1950 in Argentina, where he served as a pressing irons maker in his early 20s, and finished in New York, where he commuted weekly for a while, as an Alitalia land services specialist. In between, he did a little of everything else: from mechanical engineering and door-to-door pottery salesman to cold cuts vendor and pizzeria owner. The café came at the very end, in 1989, as a post retirement activity/investment. A good one, it must be said.
The third apex of Angelo's life map has not moved much either. In 1992, due to an unsustainable rent spike, it basically crossed the street from its original location — which later hosted café graffiti and now is home to the Damiano restaurant — to what today is probably the most strategic spot (the corner of Hanover and Prince) of the best preserved and most celebrated Italian-American neighborhood in the country.
Location, location, location, of course, but the fact that dello Sport has become an indisputable point of reference for North End strollers (locals and tourists alike) and most of all sport enthusiasts (during Italy's team soccer games, chairs must be reserved in advance) is due to other factors as well.
"There is nothing studied or planned about this place," says Angelo, now basically a supervisor of his son's and daughter's management. "We run it like we feel we should, spontaneously, from the heart." In fact, the food, both on the sweet and savory side, although good, is not worth the trip, and especially the search for parking, and the coffee, according to many the best in town by far, only lives up to its name when the machine is operated by the right person.
Yet the flavor that beats the competition (of which there is absolutely no shortage these days) is that of a genuine, non-pretentious, Italian atmosphere and hospitality..
Regardless of marketing trends, Café dello Sport is completely "Made in Italy" (except for the seven flat-screen TV monitors), just like its owner, who, also thanks to his past as an Alitalia employee, makes his way there twice a year, on average. He goes to Bergamo, where he is from, and Salerno, home to his wife ("I miss the scent of my country," he confesses). And when he doesn't, he keeps informed and interested in everything coming from the old country. He vocally comments on it, too, on a daily basis, with his customers, often cracking jokes in the middle of serious arguments, while sitting at one of the tables in front of a crossword puzzle he never manages to finish.
"I know more about Italy than many Italians do," Angelo brags. "Nowadays, over there, everybody is too busy complaining and whining about everything."
At 82 years of age — which he wears seamlessly, thanks in part to a Trivial Pursuit-type memory, especially sharp when it comes to dates — he clearly does not have to be here every day. He wants to, though. Also, because he knows, even if he does not say it clearly, that his mere presence helps to keep his "creature" in line with the spirit that has made it, so far, so successful.
"The neighborhood has changed a great deal," he reckons. "It has greatly improved in terms of quality of life, but most residents are no longer Italian and even the Italian restaurants [over 150 in 0.3 square miles] are gradually 'falling into foreigners hands,'" he says half jokingly. "Which does not necessarily mean they don't cook good food, but I am afraid that sooner or later this neighborhood will end up like many other Little Italys around the country."
Then with a flash of pride in his eyes, he concludes "but this place won't!"

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2009
A cold wet winter and early spring led to late but successful flowering in mid December. The even flowering and very good fruit set was then followed by a wetter than normal summer. Crop levels were good though with the wet late summer we had concerns that berry size might get too large and that we would start getting disease issues. We consequently did a lot of work opening up the canopy to ensure good air circulation and also a number of green harvests. The first to reduce crop and the second to drop out any diseased bunches. Just as anxiety levels were becoming extreme the weather cleared at the end of the first week of March. We then had continuous warm, sunny dry days through to harvest. Harvest was a little late in starting, hand picking started on April fool's day and we finished on 14th April. The cool growing season and later harvest have provided a lively very aromatic wine with slightly higher acidity than normal.
Downloadable Tasting Notes
[wpfilebase tag=file id=11 /]
Fruit from our vineyard was mainly hand picked and gently whole bunch pressed. This juice was then settled for only 12 hours prior to racking into large 500l French oak barrels. It then underwent a fast warm ferment. The fruit from our vineyard is very well suited to this treatment. It has great intensity of aroma without any green herbaceousness. This portion (nearly 10% of the final blend) was then matured on lees in barrel for 8 months prior to racking and blending with the balance of wine. Other components are treated variously with more hand picked fruit being fermented in tank and lees aged. Hand picking makes up more than 40% of our total blend. It provides finesse, delicacy and poise to our wines. The balance is harvested by machine and clarified to brightness and cool fermented to retain maximum fruit and aroma. Following blending in November the wine was treated very gently with protective handling techniques to retain the freshness and aromatic intensity. It was lightly fined with isinglass filtered prior to bottling in December.

Tasting Notes
This is a perfumed wine with very aromatic, citrus, and floral characteristics, a hint of savouriness and underlying minerality. The palate is bone dry with fresh crisp fruit and a creaminess leading through to a wonderful aromatic peach and citrus component on the finish with clean crisp acidity. A complex and subtle wine showing both texture and minerality.

state legislative editor
As state legislative editor here at Land Line Magazine I consume a steady diet of legislative efforts from all over the nation on a daily basis. To spread the word to truckers and others with a rooting interest in the industry, I do my best to cover as many topics as possible.
I've found there are many topics of great relevance that pique the interest of truckers. That's no surprise, I know. Topics like higher fuel taxes, tolls, split speed limits, lane restrictions and idling rules are at or near the top of my watch list. The reasons are obvious. But I've found there is one topic not included on that short list that by far and away evokes passion from Land Line Magazine readers and listeners of "Land Line Now." The topic that never fails to rile up folks is whether truckers and other drivers should be required to remove snow and ice from their vehicles before heading out on roadways.
Each year in recent history there has been at least one state seeking to make removal of the wintry precipitation mandatory. Since the calendar turned over to 2008 lawmakers in at least four states in the Northeast are pursuing such requirements – Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Truckers and others in the industry say the rule would be nearly impossible to comply with. They also cite concerns about requiring people to climb atop large vehicles to remove snow or ice.
Supporters say they don't buy that argument. Requiring drivers to climb atop their vehicles to remove snow or ice amounts to nothing more than "minor inconveniences" that are outweighed by the positives, they say.
In fact, one option I've heard mentioned to help truckers clear their tractor-trailers is to rig a pulley system that would hoist drivers skyward. That sounds simple enough, doesn't it?
Now let's solve the highway funding issue. LL

Internship @ Akosha, Delhi: Consumer Complaints Work, Very Good Environment
The lunch hour is usually the time to socialize, though the friendly banter continues throughout the day. The environment is very healthy, partially because the CEO himself is pretty chilled out and partially because most of the members in the team are very young, upbeat and spirited.

By: Traci Moncus, for Georgia Weekly post.
I read a recent article about why women cheat, by Georgia Weekly Post's Brandi Kay.
I found it fascinating to say the least.
I expect others, will write to Georgia Weekly Post.
What followed was an in depth discussion on infidelity in both sexes. As a general rule when one thinks of a spouse or partner cheating, they naturally assume the man in the relationship is the one committing the infidelity. In my experience, I have found this to be true. So, why do men cheat?
A dear friend shared his story for the reason for his infidelity. It was a one time deal. Josh, a 40 something attorney at a very prestigious law firm in Birmingham had what most considered a charmed life. He came from a well to do southern family with deep roots in Southern politics. Josh graduated from Vanderbilt with top honors. During this time he met the girl that would be his wife and mother of his children. He lived in the prestigious area of Mountain Brook . His wife Ann was beautiful, intelligent and had a pedigree to rival that of Josh.They had 2 beautiful girls, Alexis and Ava. The world was his oyster.
Josh reflected on his past infidelity and what led him to it. "I was not first on her list anymore " That was the real reason he gave for his actions. 'Everyone and everything came before me. From the house and kids to Ann's social obligations. Even the dog took priority over my needs. I felt like I was drifting at sea totally lost.I mean, i worked so hard to achieve the perfect life and their it was and I was not enjoying it. I was feeling left out."
What Josh was after was the emotional bond he no longer felt with Ann. It happened by chance, the meeting of his soon to be lover, Kerry. She was a friend of one of his partners at the law firm. She had been around the scene for months and Josh always took notice . One evening, at a work related event Kerry found herself alone waiting for an elevator. Josh was headed down to leave for home. By chance they struck up a conversation, which continued all the way to the parking garage.
" I was instantly attracted to her. She was so easy to talk to and had a softness that made me want to stay near her. Her voice, her silky hair falling over her face, her scent. She smelled of fresh cut magnolias. I hate to admit it, but I was smitten. I could not take myself away from her so I asked her to join me for a coffee. She accepted and that's where it began"
" I found in her something I was lacking in the past 10 years of my marriage, an emotional bond with a woman.. I soon became the center of all her attention and she became mine as well. We got together each and every opportunity we got. I even took her on a business trip on more than one occasion. I just simply could not get enough of her"
Three months into the affair, Ann knew something was wrong. Josh no longer approached her, no longer kissed her and rarely talked to her about anything other than the day to day mundane stuff.
'I suspected an affair, that's all it could be I told myself. A woman just knows, I knew .I wanted to know the truth, so I finally got up the nerve and asked him straight out. He instantly admitted to it. I was devastated,I felt my heart drop to my feet. My worst fear had come to reality. Over the next few days he told me everything . I appreciated his honesty no matter how hard it hurt.He explained that he felt unimportant to me. He felt he was last on the list. I asked him the toughest question a woman can ask after discovering her husband is cheating, I asked him if he loved her. He said he thought he did. He thought ! I asked him if he wanted the marriage and family life or if this woman was what he wanted. We talked over the next week, about everything. Josh decided he wanted his wife and family life. We made a renewed commitment to each other and our marriage. I realized i had put him on the back burner. We began having a weekly date night, just for us.. It took a while but eventually we reconnected.
It was not a quick fix,not by any means.I was heartbroken.
I think in the past few years since the affair Josh and I have grown closer than I ever thought possible.I think we have both learned a very tough and very valuable lesson, never take each other for granted. Never ! I think I felt he was not interested in me and I think my reaction was to throw myself into the house, the kids, family and social obligations. We both were guilty of neglect. Josh has come a long way since those days. He is totally committed to his family. We are totally in love and we both agreed to never take each other for granted again."
For Josh it was the emotional connection he was after. That was the bond he had with his mistress. When someone can connect with someone on an emotion level they can have them.Then there is the sexual connection........
There may be more than one reason a man cheats, or a combination of reasons. An article on the subject many years ago stated it was the" caveman syndrome" ,which simply refers to the idea that the caveman was notorious for mating up, producing offspring and becoming bored thereafter. He would then do it all over again, mate up, reproduce and move on . When we look at the pattern of men who have multiple marriages that produce children, those marriages usual play out after about 5 years or so.That is just enough time to meet, marry, reproduce and become bored.
Regardless of reason, cheating is wrong.It destroys multiple lives with it's domino effect. The cheaters may not even realize the impact their affair has on not only their spouse, but also on their family members as well as friends and even coworkers.This does not even touch on the subject of all the time and effort put into lying, cheating and sneaking around.It actually take s a great deal of time to be involved in a n affair. A real man puts l that time and effort into his marriage.
So, why do women cheat ?
As for women who cheat, its usually all about affirmation of her worth. A man's worth is his work, the means by which he makes his wealth, builds his empire and provides for his family. A Woman's worth can be more than one thing for which she craves praise and approval. It can be her beauty, her cooking , her role as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend.
Sue was such a woman. She craved approval in every aspect of her life. A full time homemaker and mother of three, she prided herself on her beautiful girls, her home in a well respected neighborhood.She was heavily involved in many community groups and volunteered every chance she got.She was married to her high school sweetheart.Her husband owned a successful manufacturing business he started from the ground up after college.
As the business grew Tom found himself away from home more and more. By the time the girls were in Jr. High and High School, Sue found herself alone more and more. She may be left alone for as long as 3 weeks at a time depending on Tom's travel schedule. When the older girl left for college, Sue found herself with lots of spare time. She now had two twin girls about to graduate and she was needed less and less.
Tom was home for short periods at a time . Sue always made sure the house was perfect and all his favorite meals were prepared while he was home. She always kept herself up with exercise. She spent a good bit of money on her beauty routine as well, keeping beach blond highlights in her hair and sticking to a strict skincare regimen as well as always being made up with every hair in place. She took immense pride in her beauty.
No matter how attractive she kept herself, Tom was usually so busy with phone calls and answering emails ,he rarely gave her the attention she craved. Sex for Tom was more of a chore than a pleasurable experience, an obligation.
Soon, Tom was on the road 3-4 weeks at a time, sometimes traveling to Europe and Asia . Sue was alone more and more.
. When a man took notice of her and struck up a conversation at a High School function,,they soon became friends then lovers. It was not long til he was coming to the house when the girls were out. Sue would cook for him. He would always praise her culinary skills. He soon was praising her sexual skills in the bedroom as well. Sue loved the attention. She began to buy pretty panties and bras and began wearing heels more often.Within weeks it was a full fledged affair. When her lover lavished her with compliments she relished in it. She had craved affirmation and approval for so long. She loved that he took notice of her lipstick shade, her perfume and every detail of her dress as well as her cooking skills.Soon, she felt whole again.
One afternoon when Tom was supposed to be in another state for work,he finished early and took the first flight home as a surprise for Sue Upon arriving at home he noticed a car in the drive..He went in through the back kitchen door as usual, calling for Sue the whole way ..she never answered. He checked the living room, no Sue, checked the den, laundry room, back deck, no Sue. At last he made his way down the hallway and found Sue and her lover together. A raging confrontation began and Tom told the lover to leave or he would kill him. The guy fled as fast as he could .
Tom asked for an explanation. How could she do this ..how ? Why ? What would make her do such a thing. Tom asked her what the attraction was. Sue gave the most simple and honest answer, she said it was the attention he gave her. She felt beautiful and desirable again. She felt wanted ,desired and needed. She told Tom that her lover made her felt worthy as a woman.
So, both Men and Women have their reasons for cheating. Cheating is cheating no matter the reason and it's wrong.
Josh cheated when he felt the emotional bond with a woman and became the center of her world. Sue cheated to feel worthiness as a woman. These are only two examples why spouses and partners cheat.

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) reported that retail accounts in 2012 grew by 28,399 accounts or 5.9 percent to 506,761 from 478,362 in 2011. This supports the increase in total investor accounts which expanded by 4.1 percent to 525,850 accounts from 505,054 accounts in 2011. The results came from a poll conducted by the PSE that gathered data from 133 active brokers.
Of the total 525,850 accounts, retail investors accounted for 96.4 percent while the remaining 3.6 percent were classified as institutional accounts. Institutional accounts are those held by corporations while retail accounts are held accounts or accounts not classified as institutional accounts.
"Our growing retail investor base has played a significant role in sustaining the high levels of trading activity in the market. The strength of this segment has been supported in large part by the success of online trading and continuing efforts by the Exchange and our trading participants to educate more Filipinos about the stock market," PSE President and Chief Executive Officer Hans B. Sicat said.
Retail investors have also been more active in the market as shown by the higher number of active retail accounts, which increased by 9.8 percent in 2012 to 163,807 from 149,233 the previous year. Institutional accounts in 2012, however, pulled down the overall growth in investor base as it declined by 7,603 accounts or 28.5 percent to 19,089 from 26,692 in 2011 due to the decrease in number of both local and foreign institutional accounts. Active institutional accounts, likewise, registered a 16.2 percent contraction to 6,957 from 8,302 in 2011.
Meantime, local accounts continued to dominate total investor accounts in the stock market with a 98.5 percent share. The remaining 1.5 percent belonged to foreign accounts.

Of the total foreign accounts, 43.7 percent were active while only 32.3 percent of total local accounts were considered active.
"Even as total investor accounts have been increasing in the last few years, we want more Filipinos to be able to share in the growth of our listed companies through the stock market.

It was no contest: "Angel One" got beaten like a little girl by "Code of Honor", which moves on to the Sulfurous Sixteen. And now we come to our final Worst 32 matchup, a rare cross-series matchup that pits an episode that should have worked but went wrong against an episode that never should have been made.
TOS, Season 2, Episode 7
A story by Robert Bloch that worked on the page was turned into a Trek episode, and failed miserably onscreen. Basically yet another "aliens with infinite powers mess with the crew" episode, it's really frustrating how this misfired.
"Profit and Lace"
DS9, Season 6, Episode 23
This features Quark. Strike one. Also the Grand Nagus, continuing the long tradition of incredibly irritating old people on Trek. Strike two. Quark gets a sex change. Strike three and OH GOD MY EYES WHY?!
Let us know in the comments or on Facebook which you think is worse and remember: tomorrow begins the winnowing down to our Egregious Eight!

What comes to mind when you hear the words Girl Scouts? Chances are the first word that comes to mind is cookies because, let's face it, Girl Scout cookies are delicious. But for me, the first phrase that comes to mind is the organization's motto Be Prepared. That's because I was a Girl Scout for 9 years. That's right. NINE years. I started out as a Junior scout and remained one until I graduated high school at 17. In that time I had some amazing experiences that I wouldn't have had were it not for the Girl Scouts.
I also learned a lot, although I didn't realize it at the time. For example, I am always prepared, can pack a suitcase like a pro, and know that I'm not a huge fan of rustic camping. I also learned a lot of entrepreneurial skills. While this might not be surprising to today's scouts, it wasn't as common back in the mid-1990's and I was fortunate enough to belong to a troop that liked to push boundaries and break barriers. We were the first troop to travel across the ocean (that we know of) and were honored in a book about young entrepreneurs for our arts and crafts business (not to mention our birthday party hosting business, where I learned to make balloon animals).
But more than that, being a Girl Scout truly is something that stays with you throughout your life. Not all experiences are great and not everyone you meet is wonderful, but at the end of the day there's a lesson to be learned. Thanks to the Girl Scouts and in honor of its inception on March 12, 1894, here are a few things I would never have been able to achieve or do without their support:
- Participated in the living history museum in St. Augustine as a blacksmith's apprentice.
- Spent a week in Michigan skiing with 100 other girls.
- Ate and sold a lot of cookies.
- Spent a week in London with my troop.
- Achieved my Silver Award.
- Made it into a book about young entrprenuers with my troop for our sales skills (this is what paid for our trip to London).
The Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

CLEVELAND — "The Jan. 30 editorial 'Coal plants' loss will hurt Ohio' blames EPA air pollution regulations.
Regulations did not close those plants; FirstEnergy did. It was the company's business decision not to upgrade the outdated facilities. FirstEnergy fought for 20 years to resist regulations and now complains (along with The Plain Dealer) that it did not have enough time to comply. Regulations provide a handy PR hook to keep the heat off of them.
Other utilities were proactive, upgraded their pollution controls and improved public health — creating jobs in designing, fabricating, installing and maintaining the equipment. FirstEnergy, instead, fought the rules and poisoned Ohio's air.
Pollution-control equipment is an ordinary business expense — like the cost of raw materials and executive salaries. It is not a frill that can be delayed when times are hard.
The hardships of dirty air, like the hardships of jobs and taxes lost from plant closings, are real and painful. Scientists estimate that annually, nationwide, the air pollution rules will prevent tens of thousands of deaths, heart attacks, cancers, developmental disabilities and asthma cases.
How about an editorial titled 'Coal plants' loss will help Ohio'?"
— Stuart Greenberg, letter to the editor, Cleveland Plain Dealer

"I don't care about that really," 'ESPN' quoted the 26-year-old as saying. "It is nothing to do with me, so why should I waste my time thinking about it? It goes like this in F1. People go sometimes. It is quite normal. It can change very quickly here."
He insisted: "It is hard to say what is the best and the worst (moments). We had some good times and some bad times. That is racing. But that is now past and I don't need to worry about it or even think about it."
Exactly my point !! Why the heck are we still running around the whole "JPM's Move to NASCAR" Saga ?? He quit F1 and joined NASCAR, that the end of it !!!

Street: 07.06
When Cerulean came out on Anticon earlier this year, critics were quick to lump the 21-year-old Californian's debut into the burgeoning (and largely made up) chillwave microgenre. Baths took offense to this—it is easy to see why. Instead of being ostensibly effects-driven and wrapped under a gauze of lo-fi consumer electronics, Cerulean is all beats. Crisp, sparkling, low-end rumbling beats are looped with such complexity and with such a dizzying array of auxiliary instrumentation and vocal manipulation that they are easy to lose in the shuffle. But, as Baths' September show at the Urban Lounge showed, he is clearly much more informed by standard 4-on-the-floor electronic music than by the idea of electronic music that many of his contemporaries draw from. At the core of each song on Cerulean, besides an intricate beat palate, are songs. These are songs that are written with verse-chorus arrangements and real, heartfelt emotion. "Plea" is a love song addressed to a man, and given Will Wiesenfeld's own sexuality and the song's timeliness, "Plea" can be viewed as a sort of post-Prop 8 anthem. Except it's not. "Plea" is only political as a point of reference. While "Plea" is relatively easy to track emotionally, the rest of Cerulean bounces from the most exuberant and wide-eyed to brooding and unsteady, usually all within the same song. Cerulean's other near-perfect track is "Hall." It starts with an acoustic guitar and vocal line that has been chopped and edited past the point of recognition before a heavy galloping beat whisks the track into Wiesenfeld's lengthy falsetto chorus that pulls all of the disparate parts of the song under one roof. While hyper-kinetic and bright, the song broods with a quiet dissatisfaction at its core that defines Cerulean's deep emotional core: a sizzlingly bright blue. –Ryan Hall

To see the green for your second shot, aim at the black & white post. This opens up the sharp dog-leg.
Click on the button below to view the course map.
The ideal line for your drive is to the right of the fairway. Second shot slightly downhill, so consider one less club.
Another tough Par 4 with ditches right and left to catch a stray tee shot. An uphill second, so take plenty of club.
Drive it straight, as there are , once again, ditches left and right. Your second shot is uphill, so take an extra club.
A gem. Be up with a well-flighted shot to the flagstick, avoiding all sand traps. A great birdie chance.
The black and white marker post is the line from the tee in order to avoid out of bounds on the right, as well as gorse, trees and bushes.
Drive into the left side of the fairway to avoid out of bounds on the right. Two solid shots could have you two-putting for a birdie.
This one needs a good shot to the left side of the green. Watch out for slopes and avoid all bunkers.
Position here is the secret. Out of bounds right. Pitch well from the fairway and single putt for a birdie.
Last of the Par Fives and once again, out of bounds, right. A powerful second could set up a birdie chance.
This outstanding hole, over the ancient rampart, needs a fine second shot because of greenside trouble., left and right.
Achieve the best angle in the green by driving left of the fairway. This gives a good line into the flag, avoiding a greenside trap.
The picturesque green is perched on top of a slope - a test of nerve. Go for the flag, but watch out when putting due to steep borrows.
Out of bounds right and left off the tee. A good drive is needed to a sloping fairway. There is dead ground between bunkers and green, so be up.
This is an uphill test with bunkers to catch faded drives or under-hit second shots. Traditional Colt-style set-up defends a tricky green.
This breathtaking hole calls for a whopping drive. and a second shot that stops possibly short of the flag, as a downhill putt is terrifying.
Another great shot hole with club selection important. Aim at the top of the flagstick. Putt with caution - even great players three-putt this one.
Keep your drive on the fairway at all costs and fly in a good second. You could walk off with a birdie, and a smile!

The list of Race to the Top finalists needs some whittling.
THE LIST of finalists for coveted Race to the Top dollars is not as exclusive as Education Secretary Arne Duncan suggested that it would be. Nearly one-third of those applying for the coveted education dollars were picked, and some states with sorry educational policies (such as New York) managed to get on the list. It's a far cry from the "very, very high bar" promised by Mr. Duncan -- but what really matters is the choice of the winners. There are enough finalists with refreshingly strong proposals that we still have hope that Mr. Duncan will deliver on his promise of rewarding only the best of the best.
Of the 41 applicants for the first round of competition for $4 billion in federal education dollars, 16 finalists were selected. The District of Columbia and 15 states had the highest scores from reviewers who used a 500-point grading scale based on commitment to improving teacher effectiveness, data systems, academic standards and low-performing schools. It was not surprising to see states such as Louisiana, Tennessee and Florida make the list because of their mandates that student achievement substantially factor into teacher evaluations. It's that kind of bold commitment to reform that Mr. Duncan sought to foster. Indeed, there was a flurry of welcome changes as legislatures around the nation enacted policies to better position their states for the competition.
So it's puzzling to see how New York, with its failure to enact new charter school laws and its ban on the use of student test scores in teacher tenure decisions, made the grade. Ditto Kentucky, where there is no charter law. Some observers who thought Ohio had a weak application wondered if its importance on the political map might be a factor. The District's selection was another surprise, albeit a welcome one that helps buttress Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee's critical reform efforts. In terms of academic achievement, the finalists are all over the map, ranging from high-performing states such as Massachusetts to struggling places such as the District and South Carolina. No scores were released, but officials say there will be complete transparency about the process when the final winners are announced next month.
Next, though, comes the finalists making their pitches in Washington. While education officials have set up an elaborate judging system with myriad reviewers, it is Mr. Duncan who has the power to pick the winning states. Much more than money is at stake. As Mr. Duncan told Education Week in launching Race to the Top, "folks out there don't quite believe we're going to keep a high bar . . . until we do it."
