PH10 motorised indexing headsMotorised indexing heads allow flexible and repeatable probe re-orientation. In May 2009 Renishaw introduced a series of design enhancements for its range of PH10 motorised heads, resulting in a 20% improvement in repeatability and increased long term stability. The range comprises three PH10 models, each of which can carry a range of probes and extensions and can be orientated in 720 repeatable positions, giving access to the most difficult-to-reach workpiece features. All three variants of the new PH10 heads are now supplied with a revised repeatability specification, down from 0.5 µm (2σ) to just 0.4 µm (2σ) (specified at a distance of 62 mm), giving users improved positioning at the stylus tip. The new specification heads are physically differentiated by a new 'aqua blast' finish which gives a modern, matt black appearance. PH10MThe PH10M can carry long extension bars and complex probes such as SP25M or TP7M. The highly repeatable autojoint allows rapid probe or extension bar changing without the need for re-qualification. PH10M specification
PH10MQThe PH10MQ is a variant of the PH10M that allows the motorised head to be attached directly to the quill with the B axis of the head inside the quill itself. This option provides a neater and shorter probe mount, with only the A axis protruding from the quill. PH10MQ specification
PH10TThe PH10T is similar to the PH10M, except that it features an M8 thread probe mount in place of the autojoint. All M8 threaded probes, such as TP20 and TP200, and extension bars fit directly onto the head. The PH10T is fully compatible with all of Renishaw's stylus and module change systems. PH10T specification

Preservation Partners consults with land owners or developers whose property has significant historic value in the history of America. We focus on Civil War battlefields and related sites, but also work with property deemed historic for other eras and reasons. In a process often marred by controversy and acrimony, we develop 'Win-Win' scenarios for the owner, the community and for our nation.
At Preservation Partners we use our experience and expertise in real estate development, land-use, political negotiation and historic preservation, to strike deals that are positive for all stakeholders. As a first step, the "Core" property to each historic event is identified. Where additional land is available, Preservation Partners will work with local officials to recast zoning to allow development that is sensitive to the site, and profitable to the land-owner. Our international experience in real estate development allows us to identify opportunities that others might miss. If only core land is available, Preservation Partners will create solutions of long-term buy-outs, land swaps, tax incentives and a variety of other approaches to protect the land as well as the family who owns it.
We at Preservation Partners do not use a 'one size fits all' approach. Each owner has a family history and concern that is unlike any other. Each site is different, each opportunity unique and each community is special. That myriad of factors makes each solution different from every other
Preservation Partners crafts these solutions.

It's better to have one full mall than 2 or more half empty, the Sunrise mall taught us that. The County too has reluctance, requiring the owners have signed lease agreements from vendors, BUT the owners cannot find enough shops/stores interested enough to lease; instead we're giving them 14 months. I think we're putting the cart in front of the horse...

The aim of XBRL is to reduce inefficiencies in the data exchange and analysis process and make it easier to compare financial information. As a result, there are benefits to using XBRL both for the reporting company and for the users of the information, such as analysts, investors and regulatory authorities.
XBRL ("eXtensible Business Reporting Language") is a freely licensed computer language developed by the non-profit organization XBRL International, specifically for the application of automating financial information.
This compatibility is one of the key benefits of XBRL. There are already various taxonomies in the international environment, including ones for the US GAAP and IFRS accounting standards.
Worldwide, however, XBRL is becoming increasingly important due to regulatory requirements. Swiss companies, among others, that are registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must, as foreign private issuers, provide their corporate data in XBRL using the IFRS or US GAAP taxonomy from 2011 at the latest.
In comparison, the use of XBRL in Switzerland is in its infancy. Here, the merits of this standard are only now starting to become recognized. We can, however, assume that the benefits mentioned from using the standard far outweigh the costs in the long term and XBRL will one day be the standard format for financial reporting in Switzerland as well.
KPMG AG has been a member of the XBRL Schweiz association since 2010. This association, as a formal full jurisdiction of the worldwide XBRL International umbrella organization, promotes the use of XBRL in a national and international context. XBRL Schweiz completed its first major project on September 9, 2011, a taxonomy for the financial reporting regulations of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This certainly represents an initial major milestone in increasing the use of XBRL in Switzerland.
We realize that there is already a need in certain interested circles for general information on the subject, training, more detailed advice as well as actual taggings. And although to date no audits of XBRL data and its processing are (yet) prescribed by regulatory authorities, an audit of this data is conceivable even at present and gives the originator increased assurance of the quality of the tagged data.

Capo Piancavallo Jersey
Ask a seasoned Giro rider about the Piancavallo ascent (as dominated by Pantani), and you'll most likely be laying eyes on a broken spirit.

After an unexpected burst of hot weather in late January, the 2009 vintage settled down to provide one of the best ripening seasons of the last decade. The 2009 Mort's Block Riesling is an intense, racy wine that showcases the strength of Clare Valley with this varietal. Green apple, lemon blossom and bath salts dominate the nose. The taut palate shows grapefruit and lemon pith with a stony mineral edge and crisp, natural acidity. While irresistable now, this wine will age beautifully for 10+ years, developing toasty, honeyed characters.
"A flowery bouquet leads into an elegant and fine palate, with flavours of lime, lemon and green apple neatly tied together with crisp acidity. "
94 Points
Australian Wine Companion
"Tight, bright and refreshing for its lime-scented apple and floral flavors that don't quit on the zingy finish. Drink now through 2019. 500 cases imported."
91 Points
Wine Spectator
"The winery has always excelled with Riesling from the Clare Valley. The 2009 Mort's Block Riesling is light straw-colored with a splendid nose of mineral, spring flowers, lemon-lime and other citrus aromas that jump from the glass. Just off-dry (1.4g/L RS), it is reminiscent of a high quality Mosel Kabinett. It will evolve for 5-6 years and drink well through 2021. "
The Wine Advocate
"2009 Clare Valley Mort's Block Watervale Riesling This Watervale riesling has a richness of texture, along with complex scents of orange blossom, lime, lemongrass and honey. The flavors come in layers across the palate, clean and mouthwatering. For Cantonese seafood dishes, such as clams with black bean sauce. "
Wine & Spirits
"Pale, green-tinged yellow. Lively aromas of lemon zest, mint and chalk are complemented by white pepper and quinine. Dusty, sharply focused citrus and herb flavors gain sweetness in the mid-palate, showing deeper tangerine and pear nuances. The brisk finish features a strong echo of spicy herbs. I find this extremely easy to drink."

Fibre and Diet
When it comes to eating healthy and enjoying a healthier lifestyle, it is hard to overstate the importance of fibre in the diet. Even though fibre is most associated with grains, rice and breads, it is important to remember that fruits and vegetables also contain significant amounts of dietary fibre. In fact, the need for fibre is just one more reason to eat your fruits and vegetables every day.
In order to understand why dietary fiber is so important, it is a good idea to know what fibre is and what role it plays in digestion. Simply put, dietary fibre is the portion of food that the human body cannot digest. Fibre is found in foods of plant origin only; there is no fibre in meat and dairy products. Fibre plays an important role in the digestion of food, and in the elimination of waste products as they travel through the body.
Good sources of dietary fibre include grains, cereals, legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. As we said before, meats and dairy products do not contain any dietary fibre, so it is important to eat some plant based foods ever day to get the fibre you need.
Not all fibre is the same, and fibre comes in two forms – soluble and insoluble. All plant materials contain both types of fibre, but some sources contain more of one than the other. Eating a variety of foods rich in fibre every day will ensure you get adequate levels of both soluble and insoluble fibre.
Insoluble fibre is important in keeping people regular, and it has shown promise as well in the prevention of some types of colon and rectal cancers. Insoluble fibre is mainly found in wheat brain, some types of vegetables and in whole grain products. Some vegetables rich in insoluble fibre include carrots, peas and broccoli. The skins of fruits are also rich in insoluble fibre.
Soluble fibre, on the other hand, has shown promise in reducing levels of cholesterol in the blood, and at reducing the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream. Soluble fibre is abundant in dried peas, lentils, beans, barley, oat bran, and in many fruits and vegetables.
Many people are unsure just how much dietary fibre they need every day, but most dietitians recommend that women consume between 21 and 25 grams of dietary fibre per day. For men, the recommendation is 30 to 38 grams of fibre each day. Though this is still on the low side according to many experts.
Of course, that is easier said that done, and it is important to know which foods are high in fibre in order to boost your daily fibre consumption. In the case of packaged foods like breads and crackers, the fibre content will be listed as part of the nutritional label. In the case of fruits and vegetables, there are charts which show the fibre content of an average size piece. Some supermarkets and shops may post this information, and it is also widely available on the internet.
When increasing dietary fibre, it is best to make the increase gradual. A sudden jump in dietary fibre can lead to bloating, gas and abdominal discomfort. In addition, it is important to drink plenty of fluids, especially water, in order for fibre to have the best effect. When choosing breads and cereals, it is best to go with healthier whole grains. In general, the less processing, the healthier the foods.
Eating the skins of fruits and vegetables is a great way to increase dietary fibre. Many people like to make fruit shakes and smoothies that use the skins of their favorite fruits. This makes a delicious and nutritious way to increase fiber consumption.

Millbrook Horse Trials set to get rolling
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Hundreds of equestrians and two Olympians will converge on Dutchess County for the 12th annual Millbrook Horse Trials, starting today and running through Sunday at a site across from Coole Park Farm.
The event, which features nearly 500 horses from as far north as Canada and as far south as Florida, benefits the Dutchess Land Conservancy, which is dedicated to preserving rural open space, such as the grounds where the competition is held.
"It's going to be amazing," Millbrook Horse Trials President and co-founder Louise Meryman said in a phone interview. "We have the Olympians coming and we have the locals also, which makes us very unique."
"It's a great fit (with the Conservancy). There is a lot of land protected in this area and much of the land used for this is. It's a great partnership."
U.S. Olympians Phillip Dutton and Boyd Martin are flying in straight from London off a seventh-place finish for the competition. Dutton will ride four horses at the advanced level, while Martin has entered two horses in the advanced division and two up-and-coming horses in a preliminary division. U.S. alternate Buck Davidson will also compete.
The event typically draws 3,000 spectators, who this year had the opportunity to purchase a reasonably-priced "WaterView" package, which quickly filled up. The $35 VIP offering provides a prime seat above a series of scenic water jumps along the course, as well as transportation to and from the location, a boxed lunch and live commentary of the action.
"The water complex is one of the most exciting areas on the cross-country course," Meryman noted. The commentary will keep track of the competition and provide those who may be less experienced watching equestrian events an education along the way. There is no admission charge for the event except for those that purchased the VIP package.
The competition is also the finale of the Career 2 program, a 10-event series for retired thoroughbreds sponsored by the New York Racing Association and New York Horsemen's Association. The program retrains retired thoroughbreds for the sport of eventing.
"They have a lot years left," Meryman said of the thoroughbreds.
Scores accumulate over the course of the series, with leaders in divisions ranging from beginner novice to advanced earning $300 for first place or $100 for second at each stop. Continued...
The payouts at Millbrook jump to $700 for first place or $300 for second to cap a total of $30,000 in prize money for the series.
The event features a wide variety of competition, ranging from novice riders to the sport's elite.
"It's pretty exciting for these lower level riders to rub shoulders with the Olympians," Meryman said.

The following IPA story ran nationally on CBS radio news.
FAA Rejects Request From Cargo Pilots for Greater Rest
By Alan Levin
Dec 11, 2012
From: Bloomberg
U.S. aviation regulators won't alter a decision excluding pilots at United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) and FedEx Corp. (FDX) from rules to increase rest in an effort to reduce fatigue-related accidents. The Federal Aviation Administration said it would be more costly than it had previously calculated for cargo carriers to adopt requirements announced last year for passenger airlines.
"As a result, the FAA has determined that no revisions to the final rule on either cargo or passenger operations is warranted," the agency said in a filing to appear tomorrow in the U.S. Federal Register. The FAA announced in May it had discovered errors in calculations used to justify the rule, after the Independent Pilots Association, which represents UPS's flight crews, filed suit to force the agency to impose the rules on cargo carriers.
The rule, which takes effect in 2014, will reduce the hours passenger pilots can fly late at night or if they are making numerous landings and takeoffs. Because the projected benefits are based largely on averting potential loss of life, cargo carriers had less to gain and were excluded, the FAA said in the rule.
The union says in its lawsuit that since Congress ordered the FAA to impose new pilot-rest standards, the agency shouldn't have calculated costs and benefits.
Union Disagrees
"We still reject the application of a cost-benefit analysis," Robert Travis, president of the IPA, said in an e- mailed statement. "We do not believe that it was Congress's intent to address the important issue of pilot fatigue only if the price is right."
Estimated net costs, after benefits, during the first 12 years of reducing pilot work hours on cargo airlines rose from $306 million to $550 million in FAA's revised calculations. The FAA projected that cargo airlines would have had benefits of between $20.4 million and $32.6 million.
The case is Independent Pilots Association v. Federal Aviation Administration, 11-1483, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia (Washington).

NTSB urges fire-suppression upgrades for air cargo
November 28. 2012
From USA Today
The National Transportation Safety Board announced recommendations Wednesday to reduce the harm from fires aboard cargo planes, which a pilots' union endorsed.
The board urged the Federal Aviation Administration to require fire-suppression systems in all cargo compartments of planes and to improve fire detection within cargo containers and pallets.
"These fires quickly grew out of control, leaving the crew with little time to get the aircraft on the ground," NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman says. "The current approach is not safe enough."
The recommendations followed three fire-related accidents worldwide during the last six years. One involved a UPS crash in United Arab Emirates in 2010. One damaged a UPS aircraft in Philadelphia in 2006. And one involved an Asiana Cargo crash into the ocean off South Korea in 2011.
Safety investigators found that the early stages of a fire burning inside a cargo container are often concealed. Then when a fire grows, it rapidly burns through the container to threaten the plane and crew.
The UPS crash in Dubai killed two crew members aboard a 747-400, whose equipment failed two and a half minutes after the fire was detected. The Asiana fire aboard a 747-400 also killed two crew members. But the two crew members survived the Philadelphia fire, which destroyed a DC-8.
Captain Robert Travis, president of the Independent Pilots Association, which represents UPS pilots, thanked the board for its recommendations.
"No pilot group is more aware of the tragedy that can result from in-flight smoke and fire than the IPA," Travis says.
FedEx is installing a fire-suppression system on its long-haul fleet and Hersman says UPS briefed her on its efforts this week.
A UPS spokesman says the company worked with NTSB, FAA and the union to pioneer and test new fire-resistant package containers and covers for cargo on pallets. Experimental suppression equipment sprays a potassium aerosol powder to put out a fire, in an effort tosave other packages in the shipment.
In the cockpit, UPS is installing oxygen masks that can be put on quickly, including for the jump seats in747-400s. On international flights, the company will install inflatable bubbles to ensure pilots can see through smoke to see instruments and out windows. The company is also educating shippers about the safe handling of dangerous products, such as lithium batteries.
"Speaking broadly, we applaud the NTSB's goal to improve cargo fire safety," says Mike Mangeot, a UPS spokesman.

During the modified lockdown, the school gates are locked and the kids are kept indoors.
Empire School District said it's worth the money to hire the private security; patrollers get paid $40 an hour.
At some point though, the district said if this is to be a long-term solution, it will look at approving a salaried position for a security guard.
The Stanislaus County Office of Education confirmed the Empire School District is the only district in the county that has hired outside security to better protect its students and increase campus safety.
Elena Pacheco, a first-grader, said she sees the security patrol with guns and feels safe -- even if she was scared of the weapons at first.
John Collins, with Ontel Security Services, said the company's employees are trained and armed to carry firearms.
He said carrying weapons allows anyone who poses a threat to know these security guards mean business.
Hamera said ever since the private security started, the school has noticed less suspicious activity taking place, and certainly fewer modified lockdown measures.
Another part of the school's new security policy includes parents waiting outside to pick up their kids.
No one is allowed on campus without signing in and getting a badge.

The rugby career of Claire Allan turned full circle with her return in 2009 to Richmond, the club where she took up the game at the age of 13. In the interim Claire played for Clifton for two seasons, Wasps for one campaign, Worcester for two and Saracens for three.
Initially educated at St Stephen's Junior School and Orleans Park School, both in Twickenham, she gained a BTEC in Sport & Exercise Science at Loughborough University and is a police officer with the Metropolitan Police in Acton.
Claire has represented England at seven levels; U18, U19, U20, Academy, A, Sevens and seniors, for whom she has won 25 caps and scored 11 tries including a length-of-the field touchdown in the 46-8 Nations Cup win over South Africa at Appleby College, Ontario in August 2011. She also scored a try in the final against Canada.
Her overseas CV spans Sevens in Rome, Amsterdam, San Diego, Dubai, her favourite ground, Germany and China, where she helped England to finish as runners-up to New Zealand in the third World Series tournament at Guangzhou in March this year. She said: "My most positive memory is beating the Black Ferns in Amsterdam in 2008 with a downside of losing to Australia in the IRB World Cup Sevens in 2009."
Simon Amor, the former England Sevens captain, is Claire's role model and players she most admires are former All Blacks captain Tana Umaga and England squad mate and fellow Richmond back Alice Richardson. Claire said: "My favourite athlete as a kid was Michael Johnson, the USA 400-metres runner – gold spikes and all."
Since starting in the No.10 shirt, Claire has expanded her horizons by switching to centre and full back but unluckily missed the 2010 WRWC after being injured in training and undergoing knee reconstruction.

Absegami Graduation Concludes With Hail Storm
The ceremony was barely complete when hail began to fall. Two people were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
GALLOWAY, N.J. - The Absegami High School Class of 2012 experienced a graduation like no other Thursday night, June 7.
The ceremony was barely complete when the gathered storm clouds, which threatened to unload on the graduation from the start, opened up.
First there was lightning. Then there was thunder. Then, there was rain, and finally hail. The remaining assembled spectators and graduates made a mad dash for their cars, under the bleachers, under school overhangs, and any other shelter that might be provided before administrators were able to open the doors to the school and let them in.
Reeds Road Elementary School was also opened, as was the Roland Rogers Elementary School gymnasium, although in the end, it wasn't needed. Galloway Police did a sweep of the school and the area to check on injuries, missing items and people reported missing.
According to Galloway Police Lt. Paul Dooner, whose son was among the graduates Thursday night, between eight and 10 injuries, mostly seizures and asthma were reported. Two people were transported to the hospital with minor injuries, according to Dooner.
The school was able to be cleared and the parking lots were empty around 8 p.m.
Project Graduation will go on as planned, according to Absegami Principal Dr. Jeri-Lynn Gatto.
"I've seen rain at graduations before," Gatto said. "I saw it coming. I knew it was going to rain. The hail was a bit of a surprise. That was not on the Weather Channel."
"It was definitely something to remember," Absegami graduate Anthony Chong said. "It's something we'll never forget."
"I knew it was going to rain," Absegami graduate Alex Barragan said. "The clouds looked like they were moving in a weird way."
The graduation began at 6 p.m. at the football stadium in front of a packed house of spectators with dark clouds approaching. The clouds stopped while Valedictorian Laura Petro and Salutatorian Danielle Smith delivered their speeches.
For a moment, it seemed as though the rain would hold off until the ceremonies ended. Administrators did their part, barely taking a breath between names and diplomas were conferred on the 437 graduates. Flashes of lightning appeared, and became more frequent as the administrators reached those with last names beginning with 'G.'
The more the thunder and lightning intensified, the quicker spectators began to file out. The announcement of a graduate's name became synonymous with spectators heading for the exit, graduates joining soon therafter.
As the storm began, one couldn't tell if the screams were directed at loved ones graduating or the thunder and lightning that appeared to be creeping ever closer.
All the names were called, and everyone received their diplomas. It was then a mad rush for the exits.
Groups of people attempted to outrace the thunder and lightning. Fear turned to disbelief as these same people began to be hit with hail.
While intense, the storm concluded quickly. Police combed the area looking for those who may have been hurt or lost, as well as missing items. The Galloway Police detail of eight officers expanded to at least 16.
Galloway EMTs, including Director of Galloway Township Ambulance Squad Michael Brandenburger, were available.
Ultimately, the storm ended, and friends and family members were able to reconnect. While there was a sense that most escaped unharmed, some were still hit with a look of stunned disbelief.
It was a graduation like no other, and one that will not soon be forgotten.

"Flashes of lightning appeared, and became more frequent as the administrators reached those with last names beginning with 'G.'" - Did they stop the ceremony so everyone could reach shelter? No! How irresponsible are these administrators? In the middle of a HUGE open field with an obvious thunderstorm nearly on top of them and they did NOTHING! Allowing a large number of people to remain in a very dangerous situation is causing me to question the competency of these administrators. I'm just thankful it didn't turn into a tragedy!l
3:23 am on Friday, June 8, 2012
There are a number of things they could have done to make the event as complete as possible without remaining on the field as long as they did. This amounted to a lack of imagination at the very least. Gatto & company have some explaining to do (just as they did two years ago when they wouldn't let the valedictorian give her speech because it contained a small part about not being afraid to correct to bullies, cheaters, and students who distract and disrupt the education of others in the class).

Luckily NO ONE was hurt but very scarry. My childs soccer game canceled due to weather as we sat in the car to see if it would pass we could see a swirl in the clouds and it was extremely unusual to the say the least. No way I was letting my child on the field at that time. I had many friends at the High School last night and I do believe that it should have been stopped and pulled into the high school when they saw the sky. Thank God fast talkers got the job done!

I was in the stands with my family and when the lightning started to hit about a mile away I said that it was time to at least get down from the stands. Unbelievably, there were people leaning up against the tall metal poles containing the field lights. When the lightning startd to hit less than one half mile away, my son and I went to our car and sat out the rest of the storm. I agree with other comments that the administrators put lives in danger, and it is only luck that nobody was seriously hurt or killed.

Once the wind direction changed abruptly, all bets were off. As Dan Skelton said last night on TV-40 weather, when you can see lightening and hear thunder, time to go to a safe place fast. That didn't happen last night and a lot of people were very lucky!

As far as the twister is concerned, there is no evidence that it ever touched down, at this point.
6:22 pm on Friday, June 8, 2012
This is a prime example as to why the public schools are too imcompetant to teach our kids. They did nothing but recklessly endanger the lives of the students and their families. I guess that this is their way of saying thank you for using their school to educate their children. Overall, it's no wonder why private schools provide a better education than public schools.
6:33 pm on Sunday, June 10, 2012
How can you take one incident about a graduation ceremony and come to a universal conclusion about competence to teach and the quality of education in the schools? As a wise person once said, "Never make a general statement." You also seem pretty confident in interpreting people's motives ("this is their way of saying thank you"). And your assertion that "private schools provide a better education than public schools" is simply not factual and is not borne out by assessment results.
9:28 pm on Friday, June 8, 2012
I have never seen incompetence like this in my entire life. The principal and superintendant should be fired for failing to protect thousands of innocent people. They should never have even started the graduation with the storms so close. Worse yet you could see the winds shift and storm clouds approaching for several minutes before all hell broke loose. Wake up everyone--people almost died while "educated" school administrators stood by like nothing was happening.
12:07 am on Saturday, June 9, 2012
There is a lot more "heat" on the school for them choosing to handle it this way. So therefore, there would have been very little "heat" if they moved it inside. Yes you are right no one was seriously injured but NO ONE should have been injured AT ALL from this. It clearly isn't over as this has just made it on national news.
Debbi B
1:35 am on Saturday, June 9, 2012
My son was at this graduation taking photos of friends with my very expensive camera. When the storm hit, his first thought was to go inside the school to protect it from the hail. THEY TOLD HIM ONLY GRADUATING SENIORS COULD ENTER. He hunched over my camera and protected it from damage, while on the other side of the door, his graduating friends stood in safety. The camera's safety is minor compared to his. I still can't believe it took them 10 minutes to let him and others looking for refuge into the school. We were all lucky that there weren't more serious injuries.
Samantha Siang
9:55 am on Sunday, June 10, 2012
Don't know who (THEY) are, but there were dozens of non-seniors, the elderly and young children inside the school when the rainstorm, hail, started to come down.
Your comment is totally inaccurate.
6:51 pm on Sunday, June 10, 2012
In retrospect, continuing the graduation ceremony does not appear to have been a good decision. Hindsight, as they say, always improves our judgement. However, think about this: What if the administrators stopped the ceremony at mid-point and told everyone that the ceremony was cancelled or postponed to another date? Would all of the parents and relatives there have thought it was a good decision and cheerfully and submissively complied? Especially those whose children had not yet received their diploma? What about grandparents and relatives who had traveled a distance to make the ceremony? Would they have agreed it was wise to to cancel the ceremony? Graduations are held outside in the first place to include as many relatives and family as possible. Would it be better to hold the graduation indoors, and give each graduate only two or three tickets? Have any of the critics posting here ever been responsible for planning and putting on such a graduation ceremony? Yes, in retrospect, it wasn't the best decision given the weather outcome; but have a little empathy, and don't condemn the administrators who were trying to accomodate the families. And personally, this is the first such hail/thunder/rainstorm I've seen in the decades that I've lived in South Jersey

3. St. Augustine Prep: 147 Graduates, $26.4 in scholarship money
Well, what a quality education public schools provide compared to private schools huh diogenes? St. Augustine boasts the highest SAT scores in all of South Jersey. I think you are referring to the pathetic tests that only public schools use in nj. when both private and public take the same tests (which is rare) private schools score HIGHER THAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. please show me the assessment scores to which you are referring. my comment was made from a collection of incidents at absegami, this one just exposed their incompetance once and for all. absegami is filled with incompetant and unqualified individuals who think they know it all.
before you make another stupid remark read the article in my next comment.

"Students at Catholic schools generally boast better test scores and graduation rates than public schools."

bostonfamn93: The Stanford University study shows that students from private charter schools do about the same as public school students. I would rather depend on Stanford U. research than a report carried on Fox "News"; even the Fox "News" report states "catholic schools in SOME cities"-hardly a universal claim for excellence over public schools. Comparing two tuition Catholic high schools (that use admission tests to screen out those who will not perform well academically) against one measure from one public school does not lead to the general conclusion that private schols more effective than public schools. Public schools cannot select their students and must take all comers. Your conclusion defies logic. You also resort to demeaning disrespect, i.e. "before you make another stupid remark", which marks you as the type of person that hides behind internet anonymity to launch personal attacks when they their argument stands on illogic and real statistical facts. And your implication that I am "out of touch with reality about public schools" (or private schools, for that matter) is also a wildly erroneous assumption on your part. How you can take a weather related decision about graduation and leap into a contemptious diatribe based on incomplete "facts" is mystifying, but not unexpected, given the depth of your logic in making your accusations.

"Public schools cannot select their students and must take all comers."
That is the usual pathetic excuse that public school supporters use. Private schools get NO tax dollars and pay for EVERYTHING on their own. Unlike public schools that use up 66% of a tax bill and continuously whine that it's not enough.
I can list every public school in the county for you and show how low their figures are compared to private. But that won't do any good with you because you clearly keep fighting the truth which is that PRIVATE IS BETTER than public and always will be! I'm sorry that my tax dollars along with me paying for private tuition isn't good enough to improve your lacking schools. I'm sorry that I got off my ass and paid for my kids to have a 10x better education.
If my arguments lack logic then your's must lack logic as well as you are making the same argument as me from a different standpoint. you can't even read an article correctly. I asked for the test scores that you claim provide how public is better but you can't even do that. I wonder why??? You are complaining about my remarks when you are doing the same thing.
Also take note that I wasn't the only person to say that they were completely incompetent for how they handled this. If you look above at Jimmy's remark, it pretty much matches mine.
Overall it's pretty clear that we have a great difference of opinion. I ask that you recognize and respect mine in return for me doing the same.
Thank You

Just please stop commenting. You say that bostonfan93 defies logic but is using his conclusions based from his logic. What kind of sense does that make!? I also don't see in the linked fox news article where it says "some catholic schools" other than in the headline where it refers to the fact that enrollment is increasing in some cities. The article flat out states that "Students at catholic schools generally boast higher test scores and graduation rates than public schools". You clearly didn't see that.
I 100% agree with bostonfan93 and his remarks on the incompetence of public school educators. I also agree with him that private is better than public. Your responses to him are nothing but contradictory commentary. So just please respect his views as he has offered to respect yours.
1:34 pm on Thursday, June 14, 2012
OK, 7757, I'll stop commenting on this thread, but I leave you with this information from the report by Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes. The Report is titled "Multiple Choice: Charter School Performance in 16 States", which is "the first detailed national assessment of charter school impacts" and is a longitudinal study that "covers more than 70 percent of the nations' students attending charter schools". The study found that 17% of charter schools showed academic gains significantly better than public schools; 37% of charters had worse gains than pubic schools, and 46% of charters had demonstrated "no significant difference" in achievement than public schools. These are the facts. Make up your own mind, but please consider the facts.
2:47 pm on Thursday, June 14, 2012
You are a such an idiot. A private school is not the same as a charter school. A charter school receives public funding. A private school (such as catholic) does not receive ANY public funding.
Every privately educated person would know that while a publicly educated person wouldn't.
3:01 pm on Thursday, June 14, 2012
This is from the Merriam Webster Dictionary:
Charter School: a tax-supported school established by a charter between a granting body (as a school board) and an outside group (as of teachers and parents) which operates the school without most local and state educational regulations so as to achieve set goals.
Private School: school that is established, conducted, and primarily supported by a nongovernmental agency. (WITHOUT TAX SUPPORT)
I guess that this is not what the public schools teach their students. A great sign of why they are too incompetent to teach our kids.

With our critical path management and scheduling expertise, these goals and objectives are met and the technology project is managed with the utmost care.
Every minute advances are made in technology that necessitate ongoing staff training. Edu Tek provides both in-house training as well as assistance in putting together training programs with leading vendors. Edu Tek also provides supplemental assistance to cover onsite needs so customer staff can be free to attend off-site training sessions. Edu Tek also provides comprehensive training in the technologies that we design and/or implement i.e. white boards, audio/video systems… etc.
Edu Tek administrators provide comprehensive master planning services. We strongly believe that the IT organization is not merely a cost but a critical contributor to the success of our clients. A well-defined roadmap is essential. Every aspect of an organization's system from budgeting to workstation cycles can be developed to ensure a forward thinking plan that maintains budget consistency. Critical documents including network evaluations, asset reviews, and infrastructure certifications may be included to accurately plan upgrades and purchases that meet the goals and objectives of each customer.
It does not take much to overextend your IT staff, especially when faced with planned or unplanned downtime. Edu Tek can supplement your IT staff with highly skilled engineers who can be available for everything from key system upgrades to large scale deployments. Whether our clients need an engineer with a particular skill set or a general technician Edu Tek can become an extension to your already capable team.
The planning and ongoing maintenance of an organization's technical infrastructure can be a daunting task all unto itself. Edu Tek provides highly skilled technical staff for many of our clients on an annual basis. Edu Tek handles all of the management responsibilities for these organization-assigned employees. They serve as Edu Tek employees who work fulltime for the organization. Customers pay one simple monthly fee to maintain their contract. Everything else is included. Edu Tek assigns the appropriate resource according to the organization's goals and objectives. Additionally, our clients greatly benefit from the expertise of the entire Edu Tek team should a task exceed the expertise of the on-site engineer. In essence, when our clients staff annually through Edu Tek, they are hiring our entire team as an IT resource to assist in their IT needs.
Edu Tek employs an industry recognized web based Help Desk system for tracking work orders. End users can log in and view the status of issues as well as communicate with the engineer assigned. This system easily integrates into our customer's intranet to maintain continuity. Regular reports are generated and customized to each customer's particular needs. This Help Desk system has proven to be a critical component of Edu Tek's success in onsite IT management.
A network can only be as strong as its skeleton. Edu Tek designs infrastructure systems that will support every aspect of your technology. Whether it will support voice, data, video, security or some other system, your infrastructure can be designed to care for your needs now as well as into the future. Edu tek's engineers maintain certifications with numerous infrastructure manufacturers; therefore our engineers stay abreast of the latest standards and cabling technologies. Enterprise architecture defines the roadmap that guides the selection, deployment, operation and refreshment of technologies within an organization. Edu Tek works directly with our customers as well as architects and engineers to design all aspects of the infrastructure from the jacks at the workstation to the detailed distribution racks. Edu Tek engineers prepare all of the necessary documentation needed to properly bid out an infrastructure project including scale drawings and specifications. When projects qualify for aid or funding, documents are prepared accordingly.
Selecting vendors, dialing plans, VOIP versus traditional PBX—all of these decisions present great challenges to an organization. With our expertise in the area of voice systems Edu Tek provides full design services that cover all aspects of a successful voice project. Engineers prepare bid documents, dialing plans and deployment schedules. Evaluations and audits are performed on existing systems and protocols so that all needs are addressed in the proposed design. As more and more voice systems are converged with the data network Edu Tek provides data systems reviews to confirm that the data network can support the proposed system.
What was once only security is now a significant safety concern as well. Edu Tek designs systems that range from basic access control to intelligent video security and safety systems. Systems can be designed with features such as face recognition that allow an organization to proactively protect their occupants. Behavior tracking algorithms can assist in alerting staff to issues as they arise without dedicating staff to watch monitors. Edu Tek engineers keep up with emerging technologies so that customers get a design that reflects the best system available.
Edu Tek designs comprehensive audio visual systems. Engineers review the particular needs of a customer to determine what type of system suits their needs. Some systems are simple enough to not require comprehensive control systems where as others may necessitate touch screens that automate common setups. Presentation equipment like document cameras, electronic whiteboards and video conferencing systems all can be designed into a system that can be both easily operated and easily maintained.
Once a system has been engineered it still needs to be properly integrated. Edu Tek's network engineers hold certifications from many manufacturers ensuring proper installations. Once a system is installed it is also properly configured to maximize its performance based on a customer's needs. Components like switches and routers are configured to support whatever systems will run on top of them whether they are voice, video or data. Engineers deploy servers that support redundancy and virtualization. Critical systems such as uninterrupted power supplies and network security devices are installed and properly configured to prevent significant network outages. Edu Tek works with industry standard systems such as iSCSI SANs, virtualization and clustering. If the system is wireless, Edu Tek configures managed solutions. These systems allow for centralized configuration and management of access points and security. These can even be configured to track and manage assets with RF tags.
Edu Tek's AV integration services include both large truly custom installations as well as mass deployments of standard setups. Installers mount and install hundreds or projectors and electronic whiteboards each year. These systems include integrated affordable control systems as well as network managed systems in many cases. When custom installation is required Edu Tek installers work closely with the other building trades to ensure that the audio video technology installed in a space blends into the aesthetics. Comprehensive control systems are installed and programmed to allow complete control without needing to extensively train the users.
Edu Tek Installers are certified to install and terminate both copper and fiber infrastructures. They carefully install cable according to the design set forth by the customer. Cabling is installed according to the most current standards so that projects may be certified and a manufacturer warrantee granted. Accurate As-Built drawings are prepared and submitted to the customer along with a comprehensive test report.
Edu Tek designs and administers web sites that range from static informational sites to fully dynamic and data driven portals. Programmers and designers work closely to ensure that sites are both functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Programmers attempt to conform to web Standards for proper web page markup. This helps to assure that all viewers will have the same experience regardless of their browser. Sites can be designed to connect other systems such as email and scheduling. This enables content to be ported directly to the web without constant management and double entry. In the other direction, content from the website can be easily ported to other systems such as digital signage systems and text messaging services.
As an organization's data needs increase, Edu Tek can offer consulting services to assist in designing applications and data housing systems. Edu Tek staff is aware of the different reporting needs that a state or agency may require and thus offer design and programming assistance to better automate these processes. Staff may propose and setup portals to allow all customer staff members to centrally manage and report on data. When such systems are in place an organization can proactively make decisions based on real-time data analysis.

About the only good things I could say about this are it's a PC game, it doesn't use Steam, and it has offline achievements. I wonder how much Capcom paid him to give this crap a good review? The keyboard is better than the controller? Sure, if you're playing on Easy mode with a human partner (who's using a controller). When a game expects me to start button mashing on my keyboard, I lose interest. When a game limits my ability to aim up, I lose interest. When shooting an enemy in the face with a shotgun fails to stop their attack animation...well, you see what I'm saying. Playing the game on the 360 wasn't any different (though there were some benefits, like split-screen); however, had I wanted to play the game for the Xbox, I would've bought it for the console. When I buy a PC game, I expect to actually get to play one; Re5 for the PC is the first game I've exclusively played with a controller, because the mouse controls are so incomprehensibly bad.
Last time I take a review from this site seriously.

A few years ago, when my son was 12, he had to have a root canal. I like to believe it's because he didn't brush his teeth well and/or that he's genetically cavity-prone. But I really think it's because he hadn't seen our family dentist for a year. It wasn't the cost that kept us from the usual six-month visit (in fact, we had excellent private insurance coverage), but rather I was just "too busy" and never got around to scheduling a routine appointment.
Last month, a 12-year-old boy in a neighboring Maryland suburb had an aching tooth. Earlier this week, he died. The medical cause, the Washington Post reports, was bacteria from the abscess that had spread to his brain. The underlying cause: His family had lost their Medicaid coverage (apparently as the result of eligibility paperwork being sent to the homeless shelter where the family had recently -- but no longer -- resided) coupled with the difficulty of finding a dentist willing to accept Medicaid patients.
Overshadowed in the debate about SCHIP and universal health care are the sobering statistics on access to dental care for low-income children: According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, two-thirds of Maryland children enrolled in Medicaid did not see a dentist in 2005. What's more, because of low reimbursement rates and bureaucratic paperwork, only 900 of the state's 5,500 dental providers are willing to treat Medicaid patients--never mind those without any coverage. The National Conference of State Legislatures' Web site offers a wealth of additional material on this topic.
Postponing my son's dental care was foolish -- and I learned a lesson. Delaying (in effect, denying) Deamonte Driver's dental care was fatal -- and we should all learn a lesson.
