When SEPTA's trains brake at each stop to load and unload thousands of Pennsylvania passengers, the kinetic energy of the train is converted into electricity. The agency will capture the regenerative braking energy of trains through a large-scale battery storage system and will deploy that energy as virtual power into the region's supplier of wholesale power frequency regulation and energy markets.

That tl;dr is really, really selling it short. I'll give it a shot.Originally Posted by Bartholomeus Crane
Napoleon, Alexander and other famous figures in the history of warfare only matter in the context of having new strategies to play, angles to master, and techniques to polish to a mirror shine. Eve Online doesn't have those, because the problems of game design and industrial abundance have turned Eve Online's sovereignty warfare into the spacehip equivalent of Trench Warfare. These battles aren't won by strategically breaking the other side's armies, they're won by making the other side give up. This reality elevates the value of propaganda pieces like Mittani; tactically, these personalities are meaningless. Strategically, they are rallying points for other people to browbeat each other over. Mittens is a drummer boy, not Sun Tzu.

"Everything is running smoothly," Lewis said. "We are real positive about the direction everything is heading in. We are trying to take more of an instructional approach, making sure the girls learn the basics first and then progress from there."
Lewis noted that the league has just under 200 girls playing this spring. There are teams in the 6-and-under division (four, five, and six-year-olds), eight-and-under division (seven-and-eight-year-olds), 10-and-under division (nine-and-10-year-olds), and the 14-and-under division (11, 12, 13, and 14-year-olds).
The local softball league plays games every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with an occasional Friday night contest.
Lewis said the league is slated to play until May 19, barring any rain delays or unsuspected setbacks.

12-year-old prodigy youngest to compete in US Chess Championship to be held in St. Louis
A 12-year-old chess prodigy from California will make his next competitive move in St. Louis next month.
Tournament organizers say Samuel Sevian, of Santa Clara, is the youngest person ever to compete in the U.S. Championship to be held at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis.
For a fifth year the Club is playing host to the U.S. Championship and the U.S. Women's Championship from May 3rd to 13th.
Tournament organizers say Samuel Sevian was just nine-years-old when he was named a "National Master." At the time, it made him the youngest person to achieve that title in U.S. chess history.
Search for fugitive ex-cop sets region on edge
Los Angeles police spokesman Gus Villanueva says the caller reported a sighting of 33 year old Christopher Dorner. Police were sent to the Northridge area but Villanueva later said a search of the Lowe's Home Improvement store yielded no evidence that Dorner was there or had been there.
News helicopters earlier showed police helping customers and employees leave the store. A command post was established nearby.
The search since Thursday evening had focused on mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles where Dorner's burned truck was found. But authorities have found no recent signs of Dorner.
LA officials announced a $1 million reward earlier Sunday for information leading to Dorner's arrest.

My ranking spiked then died in the butt? why? Please help!
Hi guys,
I have been persevering with this ranking for some time now and thought you might be able to help. Or direct me to where I can get help. I am learning a lot through SEOmoz but I am still very green.
Basically on the 20th of the 12th we jumped up to a 2nd place listing and then dropped back down on the 17th of the 1st 2011.
The site is http://mlb.broomeaccommodation.com.au and the search term is 'Broome Accommodation' as you can see it is a considerable drop and really affecting our bookings and sales figures.
I have attached a link to a screen capture of the problem - http://exitforward.com/kimberleyaccomm/seomoz.png
Interested to hear your thoughts and get some help on this frustrating matter
Kind regards
Bodie Czeladka

coming from new zealand my theory on food / drink purchases is to buy the cheapest budget brand first and if it is no good then throw it out and buy the next brand up. my reason for this is simply that all the brands are new to me and its such a waste when you buy the expensive brand and it turns out to be sh*t.
It did this with me tea purchases, sainsburys basics brand of tea 80pk goes for abot 30p it is so cheap and way better than the expensive brands.

Asian Black Bean Burger (recipe below)
Here are the Q & A's that I asked Lindsay! I hope you get inspired!
How did you or what inspired you to get healthy?
I used to be a very picky eater. Until my junior year of college I pretty much lived on bagels, Cheerios and mac and cheese. When I was younger it wasn't noticeable because I was an athlete and was always moving around. I studied abroad in Australia my junior year and gained a bunch of weight. When I got home, I started paying more attention to what I ate. I graduated from college a semester early and once my then boyfriend/now husband moved into our own apartment, I started really focusing on cooking healthy meals and getting healthy again. I lost the weight I had gained and felt great. I've pretty much maintained ever since.
Are you a Fitness and/or Health Coach?
I am a Dietetic Technician, Registered and am currently finishing my dietetic internship. In April, I will take my exam to become a Registered Dietitian.
How long have you being on a healthier lifestyle journey?
I've always know about the importance of health, eating well and working out but I'd say it's been about 7 years or so since I really started taking it seriously.
Why do you do it?
Because I feel my best when I'm active, workout and eat well.
How do you encourage others to take on a healthier lifestyle?
Through my blog. I share pictures of my food and workouts in hopes that it will inspire others to make positive, healthy changes and choices in their own life. I also went back to school to become a RD so that I can share my knowledge with others.
Can you share a few healthier lifestyle tips?
- Start small.
- Don't expect habits to change overnight.
- Make a list of things you want to change and pick one or two to focus on. Once you've got a handle on those, move on to a few more.
- Set small, realistic goals that are attainable.
- Give it time. Developing healthy habits and losing weight take time! Don't expect an instant fix.
How can others get involved? What advise would you share with someone who wants to begin eating or exercising?
See above. Start small. If you're not exercising at all, make it a goal to walk for 20 minutes a day. Once that gets easier, add in some weights or some other cardio activities. Choose things you enjoy. Don't do a certain kind of workout just because everyone else is doing it. Find something you enjoy!
Make one healthy choice at a time. If you're not eating breakfast, start there. If you're not getting enough veggies, focus on adding 1-2 extra servings every day. If you're eating too many sweets, find some healthier options like fruit for dessert. Clean out your fridge and pantry to get rid of things that tempt you and restock with healthier options!
What do you like to do for FUN?
Crossfit! My hubby and I also enjoy hiking and walking our dogs...and I love cooking, taking pictures and afternoon naps :)
Share something about your family if you want!
My hubby and I live in the suburbs with our furry family that includes 2 dogs and 2 cats. We rescued them all from shelters and love them to pieces.
Who inspires YOU?
My readers. Hearing about all the people out there that are working so hard to eat better and get healthy is motivation for me to keep setting a good example for them!
Here is Lindsay's recipe for the delish Asian Black Bean Burgers. This recipe is on my MUST DO LIST.
Check out all the inspiration on her blog, The Lean Green Bean. She can be found sending awesome pics including her exercising photos on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

To be able to understand why LEGO has been successful for so long, just look to the name. LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen who combed the Danish words "Leg Got" which means "play well". He later realized that LEGO in Latin translates to "I put together." The LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children worldwide, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. Historians point to the invention of the wheel as a major turning point in world history. The invention of the LEGO wheel had the same monumental effect in the history of LEGO , making it possible to create cars, trucks and eventually the LEGO train building set that is one of the most successful LEGO sets of all time. LEGO currently produces about 20 billion LEGO bricks a year and has sold over 400 billion LEGOs in their history -- enough for every person on the planet to have over 60 LEGOs each! |

A few months ago I had the privilege of sitting down at a local coffee shop with a long-time Seattle Bubble reader as he shared his home buying story with me, and now I'd like to share his story with you.
"Bruce" got married in 2005, and like many young couples, he and his wife thought that might be a good time to put apartment living behind them. So, they started looking for a house to buy on the Eastside near Bruce's job.
Bruce spent some time looking at homes online and feeling out the market, but after a while, he began to sense that something was a little off. "Prices were going up like crazy," giving Bruce and his wife reason to slow down and spend a little more time investigating. Not surprisingly, when Bruce began to seek answers to what was going on in the Seattle-area housing market, it wasn't long before he found Seattle Bubble.
"I really liked the analytical approach." Inspired by the stats-based analysis on Seattle Bubble, Bruce drew up his own modeling of his specific local market. He compared his current rent to what it would cost him to buy, looked at prices in markets with similar economies, and analyzed the complete cost of owning.
After completing his analysis and realizing that they could not afford to buy a home without making serious compromises (commute, size, features) to get into any home at all, Bruce and his wife decided to hold off until the market came back down to earth.
Meanwhile, some of Bruce's friends and coworkers got caught up in the hype and bought homes in 2005 and 2007, ending up forty-five minutes to an hour from their jobs, their kids' schools, and all of the communities they regularly participate in.
Even though he decided not to buy right away, Bruce didn't just stop looking for homes. He spent the next few years watching Redfin, saving notes on properties that looked interesting, and over time was able to get a really good feel for how much a home on the market would eventually sell for—a crucial skill to develop if you want to get a good price when you buy a home.
In late 2009, with prices off over 20% around Seattle and a baby on the way, Bruce and his wife began looking more seriously again at buying. They found individual sellers to be stubbornly clinging to fantasy pricing, but builders were willing to price homes to sell. They put out an offer on a home in a relatively close-in Eastside new construction development in December, and proceeded to engage the builder in three months of back-and-forth offers/counteroffers before finally coming to an agreement and closing the deal.
Bruce points out that his friends who bought in '05 and '07 are still living in their far-flung homes, driving hours a day to and from homes that they now can't afford to sell.
While Bruce feels he could have probably gotten a slightly better deal if he had been able to wait a little longer, the timing was right for his family, they found a home that meets their needs, and they can comfortably afford the payments. Bruce notes that their only compromise was "probably a little bit on the price," but that they bought "what they absolutely like," in a neighborhood that is close to everywhere they want to go.
My favorite quote from my meeting with Bruce:
Anybody who is buying a house without [researching] using Redfin and Seattle Bubble is probably making a mistake.
Congrats to Bruce for exercising patience, avoiding getting trapped in the remote 'burbs, and holding out for the house he really wanted in the neighborhood he really wanted to live in.
Full disclosure: The Tim is employed by Redfin.

New Park Pizza (156-71 Cross Bay Boulevard) opened in Howard Beach, Queens in 1956. Although I can't imagine the pizza has changed much over the years -- a lot of other things have. For starters, regular and square slices are $2.50, a price point that certainly has inched up with the price of a subway fare over the years. The place even has a Facebook presence -- a tool that many old pizza establishments have yet to unitize. The original signage appears to be intact, but as you can tell from the photos below, New Park Pizza has undergone other renovations (as subtle as they may appear -- it's probably a good thing!).
(above photo via New Park Pizza Facebook Page)
The place is most easily accessible by car and is open daily from 10:00AM-midnight. In what I would consider to be New York's weakest pizza borough... New Park Pizza stands out. The menu is simple. They have regular or square slices (I ordered one of each) and calzones. There are 10 toppings you can add to your pie order. None are exotic.
This was my second trip to New Park Pizza and I was once again quite satisfied with my meal. While the sauce stands out on the regular slice, it's the cheese that gives the square slice its flavor. The regular slice is crispy, while the square slice has a chewy, bread-like texture. They're so different from one another that you need to try both.
New Park Pizza has been crowded both times I've been there (you can tell right away by how many cars are in its parking lot), yet there is never a line. The menu is so simple, that whatever you want is always ready to go. After 55 years, you'd hope they'd have the system down.
I wish there were more places that existed today like New Park Pizza. But it's difficult for a business to be so successful for so many years. From generation to generation, through booms and recessions, New Park Pizza has been firing up its brick oven. There's no reason to believe they won't be celebrating 100 years of being in business a few decades down the road.
Hopefully you'll have the chance to check them out before then.

the first time I saw you was in Les Miserables as Enjolras. I could not comprehend why you were not Marius.
when I saw you in "Phantom 25th" I thought you were John DeLancie. (I hope you are not offended.)
when I learned more about you (*coughandsawyoushirtlesscough*) I came to the conclusion that it is not possible, nor is it fair, for anyone to be as perfect as you are.

Imagination helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it is a fundamental faculty through which people make sense of the world,and it also plays a key role in the learning process.
April 16th was Pack Meeting night for us. Another night that we all come together and hopefully learn something and celebrate being Scouts.
Several things happen. First, we welcomed a new Bear into our Pack. He earned his Bobcat and I presented it to him. I welcomed him with giving him the Pack Numerals that signify we are 60 years old. I also gave him the JTE Gold/ Boys Life Patch since we earned it together. I also gave him a woggle that I had made for the entire Unit. I explained to him that he is now a Scout. Part of all of us.
I then called up his buddy, a fellow Bear and presented him with the Recruiter Patch. This Bear since being a Tiger has tried to get several of his buddies to join. Not many completely do it or make it. This one did. I needed to let him know that I appreciate his work in bringing someone into Scouting.
It was then time for the Wolves to get their Rank Badge. These hardy souls have been working very hard all year long. A whole Den of 8 got their Rank. Their Den Leaders took over and explained who did what and what they did to earn it. I am very proud of this Den and their Leaders.
Now, finally for the FUN part of Scouting, disguised as a Game. Tonight we were taking toilet paper tubes, jugs, bottles, logicboards, duct tape, egg cartons and other trash (clean of course) and building.
I asked the boys if they built stuff with Lego's. They did. I asked if they created stuff at school or drew silly items. They did that too. I asked if they had Lincoln Logs (dating myself here)…several said they had them! I said, tonight, we are going to build something but in a Team. They had to come up with an idea, name it, get the trash and build it. Sounds something like a Team Building Event? Woodbadge? Corporate Seminar? Yes, it was all of that.
I broke up the boys into four Dens. I then got a Tiger & Wolf to go get stuff and take it to their team and start building. I did go around and re-distribute items and give out duct tape. Each Team had a couple of Den Leaders or Parents help.
It was chaotic, slow, fast, furious, ideas flying around….. I wasn't sure if they were going to get it done. I gave them about 15-20 minutes to make it all happen.
As I walked around chatting with parents I realized it was working. This was not a Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt Project. It was not a conference or Power Point presentation that lacked fun. It was Scouts, working with others that they did not know, communicating ideas towards a common goal.
Once the Scouts were done, I had them all come to the center of the Gym and explain what they made, what it was called and what it did. Each creation has some cannon or blaster. Each had a story. One or two Scouts talked and explained.
At the end I congratulated them on their creations. I then asked if it was hard to get started? They said yes. I asked if they worked together. They said yes but towards the end.
It was during that time and the Cubmaster minute that I told them that even though they did not know others within the Pack since they are in their own Dens, they came together and worked and communicated. I explained that we all can get a long and find solutions even if we did not know each other. I also pointed out that while we are playing baseball, soccer or other sports this spring, we might not know the other team or boys just yet. But we can work and communicate together and have fun at the same time.
A game with a purpose and a lot of imagination.

If the United States truly desires dialogue with North Korea, it would lift sanctions against it, according to North Korea's top military body in a statement released on Thursday. North Korea threatened 'the sledge-hammer blow of our army and the people' if its demands are not met.
By Staff, Reuters / April 17, 2013
North Korea demanded on Thursday the removal of U.N. sanctions imposed for its nuclear and missile tests and a U.S. pledge not to engage in "nuclear war practice" with South Korea if Washington truly sought dialogue.

About- Basketball Referee
Where are you in your Basketball Referee career? Where do you want to go?
Ed T. Rush
Former NBA
Director of Officials donates all of his royalties from Court Club to Blow the Whistle on Cancer.
More times than not, those two questions have very different answers. Let's be honest, if you are like me, you are a Type-A+ personality. You have goals that reach far ahead of where you are right now. Let's face it, it's tough to become a pro basketball referee at Division 1 or in the NBA.
I've been very blessed to have worked with many great basketball officials over the last 40 years years. In my mentoring, I have been able to identify the key qualities and traits that all great basketball referees possess. In this course, I'd like to share those qualities with you, so that you can accelerate your timeline and reach your basketball ref dreams.
This will not be simple…it WILL take hard work. But, if you are ready to roll up your sleeves and get serious, we can make some great strides together.
Ready To Become A High Level Basketball Referee?
Let's get started…first, here I'd like to briefly tell you my story about how I got my start as a basketball ref.
I started as a basketball referee when I was a 14-year-old junior high school student. My basketball coach, Ken Truscott, was running a mini basketball league and he asked me if I would like to make $10 for some work on Saturday. This being 1956, I personally thought $10 sounded very interesting. All I had to do was be a basketball referee for the little kids' basketball games. The games would start about 9 a.m. and run until around 5. It only took me a few weeks before I realized that while most 14-year-olds didn't like to get up early on Saturday morning, I did. The 10 bucks was nice, but with or without the money, I just couldn't wait to get to the gym. Perhaps you can relate about being this passionate about being a basketball referee?
This time also marked my official transition from player to official basketball referee. With some honest self-assessment, even at an early age, it soon became apparent that my trail-to-lead transitions were much smoother than my set shot! While in high school, I was an average competitive player — very average. It was then I realized that I enjoyed being a basketball referee more than I did actually playing it. Football in the fall and baseball in the spring, but for the winter, it was all about blowing the whistle.
When I was in college, I had the opportunity to become a basketball ref at a higher level and moved up to working high school games. I graduated from West Chester University and became a teacher and football coach at a suburban Philadelphia high school. Frankly, at that point, I felt I had already attained my goals. I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to be a coach. And I wanted to be a basketball referee in the winter — no more, no less.
My goals were about to change.
Soon I was given an opportunity to work in what was then the Eastern Pro League.
At that time, the NBA had nine teams and was about to get its first national television contract. The league was about to expand into another major city, Chicago. And in 1966, when the Chicago Bulls became an NBA franchise, it also meant that the basketball referee staff needed to increase by two or three people. Legendary official Sid Borgia had seen me officiate in the Eastern Pro League and asked me to attend one of the NBA's training camps.
To be honest, this was not a very sophisticated method of picking talent. I feel blessed because I was in the right place at the right time. In 1966, I was hired as a part-time NBA official basketball ref while retaining my job as a high school teacher and coach. Needless to say, this is very different from how one becomes an NBA official today!
During the next season, the NBA had plans to expand further. Whether they knew it or not, those plans included a 24-year-old basketball referee who still only knew how to get two calls right: out of bounds and technical foul.
It was when the NBA decided to put together a staff of full-time officials that I went to New York to have my first "negotiating session." I can still remember that day! The commissioner of the NBA back then was Mr. J. Walter Kennedy. His office was in the Empire State Building. The entire NBA staff consisted of Walter Kennedy, a part-time public relations person, and three secretaries. (Today, there are close to 3,000 people who work in the NBA's New York and New Jersey offices alone.) The negotiations I had with Walter Kennedy took about 12-and-1/2 minutes.
He asked, "What do you need for us to hire you?"
I said, "Well, sir, I make $5,000 a year teaching school, $500 coaching football, and $300 coaching baseball. I could not make less than $5,800 a year."
He said, "Good. We can give you $100 a game and promise you 60 games."
Some quick mental math revealed that I was being offered a $6,000 salary — a $200 raise! Of course, I couldn't turn down the "big money," could I?
He drew up a contract — which was only about three quarters of a page long in small type — that said I would get 60 games at $100 a game. I shook his hand and went back to Philadelphia a happy camper! I was now a professional basketball ref!
I petitioned the superintendent of schools to request a one-year sabbatical from teaching so that I could work full-time in the NBA. Thirty-two years later, I retired from professional sports as a basketball referee. During those 32 years, I worked five NBA All-Star games, 33 Finals games, over 300 play-off games, and over 2,000 regular season games. And perhaps my most impressive statistic is holding the record for the longest sabbatical in Marple Newtown High School history!
I Was Now A NBA Basketball Official!
Well…the rest as they say is history. I won't bore you with the details of my subsequent career. Let's just say that I worked a lot of games!
This, of course, brings us back to YOU. Getting to the NBA or even to high level college ball takes a lot more work now than it did 40 years ago. I commend you for getting this far in your career. Now, let's go the rest of the way together shall we?
On this website we cover a lot of ground. I promise if you listen, take notes, and implement what you learn, you will see great improvement…very quickly.
I'll see you on the court.
Ed T. Rush
Former NBA Director of Officials

The Wall Street Journal presented a one-sided picture of the charter school network Knowledge Is Power Program, touting a KIPP charter school's higher test scores while ignoring criticism about KIPP schools' selection process and attrition rates.
The Journal, reporting on school closings in Washington, D.C., noted that test scores at a KIPP charter school are higher than at a nearby public school:
Since 2009, the portion of Davis students who tested proficient in reading doubled to 34%, while math proficiency jumped to 35% from 22%. At the nearby KIPP school, 59% are proficient in reading and 75% in math.
But the Journal made no mention of how KIPP has been scrutinized for student selection and for high attrition rates among lower-performing students who are admitted but never graduate.
In March 2011, researchers at Western Michigan University and Columbia University released a report showing that KIPP schools have higher rates of attrition than traditional public schools and enroll fewer students with disabilities and limited English language skills.
According to the report, "KIPP schools enrolled a lower percentage of students with disabilities (5.9%) than did their local school districts (12.1%)" and "enrolled a lower percentage of students classified as English Language Learners (11.5%) than did their local school districts (19.2%)."
The report found that this "selective entry of students" as well as a high rate of attrition among lower-performing students without replacing them are responsible for KIPP's success at improving student performance:
High rate of student attrition with nonreplacement: The departure of low-performing students helps KIPP improve its aggregate results. Unlike local school districts, KIPP is not replacing the students who are leaving. When a student returns to a traditional public school after the autumn head count, KIPP retains most or all of the money (the amount depends on the particular state) allocated for educating that student during that school year. Traditional public schools do no typically benefit in the same way when they experience attrition, since vacancies are typically filled by other mobile students, even in mid-year. The discussion of findings at the end of this paper describe how "peer effects" play to KIPPs advantage, especially given its practice of filling few of the large number of vacancies from students who leave.

Fox News regular Hans von Spakovsky used a recent U.S Court of Appeals decision striking down Michigan's affirmative action ban as an opportunity to denigrate the "modern 'civil rights' movement" and misrepresent the Sixth Circuit decision as "abusive activism." Contrary to von Spakovsky's claims in the National Review Online, the appellate decision that found the process behind the ban unconstitutional is based on U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
Repeatedly discredited von Spakovsky is infamous for continuously stressing in the right-wing media the prevalence of voter fraud, despite a dearth of evidence. On November 16, he took on equal protection jurisprudence in the National Review Online and criticized the "continued legal decay" of the Sixth Circuit appellate court and its "liberal activists." His scorn was in response to the recent decision of this federal court of appeals which - for the second time - declared that the 2006 Michigan ballot initiative that passed a constitutional amendment banning affirmative action was an unconstitutional restructuring of the state political process. As reported by SCOTUSblog's Lyle Denniston:
By imposing a total ban on any consideration of a race-based education policy, the main opinion said, the majority of voters who opposed affirmative action created a situation in which they not only had won on a policy point, "but rigged the game to reproduce [their] success indefinitely." Minorities are not guaranteed that they will win when they enter into political policy debates, the opinion stressed, but they must not be put at a special disadvantage in seeking policies that they favor and that will benefit them in particular.
The Circuit Court majority opinion, written by Circuit Judge R. Guy Cole, Jr., relied explicitly upon two Supreme Court rulings, both based on the same "political process" reasoning used by Judge Cole. The first was Hunter v. Erickson, a 1969 decision striking down a move by voters in Akron, Ohio, to change the city charter to make it much harder for city officials to adopt any housing policy to benefit racial minorities. The second was Washington v. Seattle School District No. 1, a 1982 decision striking down a voter-approved statewide law that bar the use of busing to achieve racially integrated public schools.
Other conservative media reporting has at least acknowledged that the ACLU and NAACP based their successful challenge to Michigan's ban - known as "Proposal 2" - on Supreme Court precedent. Forbes, although it wrote in opposition of the holding, recognized such precedent but theorized it "would probably be treated differently by the Supreme Court today" because there are likely four justices currently opposed to all affirmative action. Unfortunately, Forbes also misrepresented the opinion as holding "minority groups are entitled not just to equal protection under the laws, but special measures designed to correct past discrimination."
In fact, the winning argument and opinion explicitly did not turn on the constitutionality or "entitlement" of affirmative action, but rather on the restructuring of a state political process to the specific detriment of a racial minority. As reported by The New York Times:
[The decision] was not based on racial discrimination, but rather on a violation of the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. The ban, the court said, unfairly placed a special burden on supporters of race-conscious admissions policies.
People trying to change any other aspect of university admissions policies, the court said, had several avenues open: they could lobby the admissions committee, petition university leaders, try to influence the college's governing board or take the issue to a statewide initiative. Those supporting affirmative action, on the other hand, had no alternative but to undertake the "long, expensive and arduous process" of amending the state Constitution.
"The existence of such a comparative structural burden undermines the equal protection clause's guarantee that all citizens ought to have equal access to the tools of political change," said Judge R. Guy Cole Jr., writing for the majority.
Von Spakovsky, however, did not bother to analyze this reasoning or acknowledge Supreme Court precedent in his condemnation of the Sixth Circuit's "duplicitous legal reasoning." Instead, he summarily relied on the dissent's assertion that the holding was an "extreme extension" of civil rights law and concluded:
The Sixth Circuit's decision shows just how far the modern "civil rights" movement and their supporters in the judiciary have gone in adopting the arguments and actions of the discriminators and segregationists of prior generations. Their support for racial discrimination makes them indistinguishable.

Affirmative action policies that will come before the Supreme Court in the upcoming Fisher v. University of Texas case have long been the target of right-wing misinformation that distort the benefits of diversity in higher education. Contrary to the conservative narrative in the media, these admissions processes serve important national interests by promoting equal opportunity and are based on long-standing law.
In 89 segments between September 10 and 16, Fox News reported on the Chicago Teachers Union's strike without disclosing its financial ties to the educational technology company administering the standardized tests with which the union takes issue.
Fox News parent company News Corp. acquired a 90-percent stake in Wireless Generation in 2010. Last May, the company agreed to provide Early Mathematics Assessment Services and Early Literacy Assessment Services to Chicago Public Schools. These contracts total $4.7 million. A central reason the Chicago Teachers Union decided to strike is their objection to the school district's call for heavily weighing such standardized testing to ultimately determine teacher pay and layoffs.
But Fox News anchors and reporters never once disclosed its parent company's ties to Wireless Generation even as the network routinely criticized the strike and the Chicago Teachers Union.
The programs that covered the story most often:Fox & Friends (including the First, Saturday, and Sunday editions) with 31 segments over the entire week; America's News Headquarters aired 12 segments this last weekend alone; America Live was next with 7 segments; and Fox Report with Shepard Smith and Special Report followed with 6 segments each. Not one segment disclosed News Corp.'s business relationship with Wireless Generation despite repeated mentions and discussions of the teacher evaluations at the heart of the strike.
During Monday's Special Report with Bret Baier, correspondent Steve Brown reported of the strike: "At issue, says the union president, is trust." Indeed. It's also an issue for Fox News. How can Fox's viewers trust that the network has provided a "fair and balanced" overview of events unfolding in Chicago when it won't disclose its financial interests?
In an op-ed in Sunday's Wall Street Journal, News Corp. executive vice president Joel Klein attacked the ongoing teachers' strike in Chicago without disclosing his role in administering $4.7 million in educational testing contracts at the heart of the dispute.
In 2010, News Corp. purchased 90 percent of the education technology company Wireless Generation for $360 million, incorporating that company into the education subsidiary of News Corp. now known as Amplify.
Klein, the former schools chancellor for New York City, was hired by Rupert Murdoch to run News Corp.'s education division in July of 2010 and is now the CEO of Amplify. While the Journal -- which is also owned by News Corp. -- identified Klein as Amplify's CEO, neither the paper nor Klein himself disclosed that the company has millions of dollars in contracts for the very testing that is a central issue in the strike.
Fox News host Mike Huckabee argued today that creating jobs for teachers for the sake of boosting U.S. employment would be "nonsensical." In doing so, he ignored the sustained massive layoffs of teachers across the country since the end of the recession and the subsequent ramifications. In fact, there is every need to hire teachers during this recovery and not just because "you want to make some jobs," as Huckabee claimed.
Huckabee was responding to comments by President Obama calling on Republicans to pass his jobs plan, which Obama said "could create a million new jobs right now," including jobs for teachers and construction workers. Huckabee replied by saying:
HUCKABEE: The federal government doesn't hire teachers. Where do teachers get hired? Local school boards. Education is a local function not a federal function. It is not the job of the federal government to hire teachers.
And the other question is: Do you hire teachers 'cause you just want to make some jobs or do you hire teachers 'cause you actually need them 'cause you have more kids in the classroom than you had last year? That's a nonsensical kind of approach to job creation -- let's make some work, and let's just go into more debt to do it.
In fact, Obama was not asking the federal government to hire teachers; he was accurately noting the role government can play in staving off public sector job losses, which experts contend have played an especially detrimental role in swelling unemployment. From the Wall Street Journal:
The unemployment rate would be far lower if it hadn't been for those cuts: If there were as many people working in government as there were in December 2008, the unemployment rate in April would have been 7.1%, not 8.1%.
Ceteris is rarely paribus, of course: If there were more government jobs now, for example, it's likely that not as many people would have left the labor force, and so the actual unemployment rate would be north of 7.1%.
According to the Hamilton Project, teachers accounted for 220,000 of these public sector job loses from 2009 to 2011, a decline of 5.6 percent.
The Economy Policy Institute estimated that had the Jobs Act been enacted, "[a]id to state governments for rehiring teachers and first responders would have boosted employment by an additional 210,000 jobs," and that "[i]n total, full passage of the American Jobs Act would have increased employment by more than 1.6 million jobs."
From the August 23 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Fox anchors are suggesting that the issues of rape, women's reproductive rights, and education are "distraction[s]" from the real issue of the campaign: the economy.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy claimed that President Obama is spending too much time on the campaign trail talking about "how we need more teachers. He doesn't really talk about economics." Co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade then claimed that the Obama campaign's strategy is to distract from the economy by focusing on issues such as education, women's rights, reproductive choice, and Rep. Todd Akin's widely condemned "legitimate rape" comments.
But education is an economic issue. Indeed, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has advised nations to "invest in education to beat recession." The OECD found that "[g]overnment budgets and the overall economy also reap an advantage from higher number of [college] graduates." It also found that people who drop out of school without a job "are likely to spend a long time out of work."
Furthermore, people with more education obtain higher paying jobs. An increase in education rates decreases unemployment. And investment in education helps the economy, especially during times of economic downturns.
Fox's attempts to downplay women's rights, reproductive choice, and Akin's comments are also quite problematic. Akin's rhetoric is reflected in policies being pushed by conservatives, who just this week crafted a Republican Party platform that called for a constitutional ban on abortion with no exception for rape.

Somebody is spoofing php.net. Its never cool to see one website rip off another. Here is an example of blatant use of the look of PHP.net, the core information site for PHP programmers on the web, being taken over by a site that came up on a goggle search for a reminder on a deprecated function. I am not the greenest guy out there. I have even sat in on Chris Shiflett's talk on Web security issues from social engineering at CodeWorks DC in 2009.

In 1868, an American watchmaker and engineer named F A Jones left E. Howard and Co. of Boston, America's leading watchmaking company and headed for Switzerland. Not for the first time, an American had held the idea of combining Swiss craftsmanship with American industrial technology. Where other had failed, Jones was determined to succeed.
He rented his first factory premises from J. H. Moser, a Swiss industrialist and pocket watch manufacturer who had just transformed the fortunes of the town of Schaffhausen by building a hydro-electric power station. Only 5 years later, plans were being laid for a larger factory and in 1875 work on the new premises was completed.
In 1880 Johann Rauschenbach-Vogel, a machine maker from Schaffhausen, took over the company. He and the next three generations of his family ran the company for the next hundred years.
In 1885, IWC manufactured the first digital watch based on a patent granted to an Austrian by the name of Pallweber. It was a simple design, but was unable to replace the traditional analogue display.
IWC passed through the generations of the Rauchenbach family changing its name as it did so. In 1905 acclaimed psychiatrist Dr Carl Jung became involved in the running of the company as he was the son-in law of J. Rauschenbach-Schenk, along with Ernst Jakob Homberger. Just before the Great Depression, Homberger took over as sole proprietor and changed the name to Uhrenfabrik Von Ernst Homberger-Rauschenbach.
The position of the factory near to the hydro-electric plant in Schaffhausen meant that the company was one of the early adopters of electricity, initially for lighting and electro-plating but later for powering the machines.
In the 1960s IWC managed to avoid investing in electronic technology. Instead they were involved in the development of the Beta21 quartz movement, launched in 1969. In the early 1970s the same "perfect storm" of circumstance that overwhelmed the whole Swiss watchmaking industry caused a radical shake-up at IWC. I huge rise in the gold price, coupled with a plunging dollar and a flood of quartz watches from Japan, demanded a new direction.
In 1978 this led to collaboration with Ferdinand A. Porsche to create the first range of Porsche design watches. This featured a number of innovations, principally the first use of titanium as a material for watch bracelets. In this year the company re-acquired the name IWC.
In 1991 IWC director Günter Blümlein founded the LMH Group with its headquarters in Schaffhausen. With a 100% stake in IWC, 60% in Jaeger-LeCoultre and 90% in the Saxony-based watchmaking company of A. Lange & Söhne. In 2000, the group was acquired by the Richemont group.
