What kind of image best represents the High Line experience?
We asked ourselves that question as we set out to design the cover of the third edition of the High Line Map, a popular merchandise item and a benefit of membership with Friends of the High Line.
In our opinion, the beautiful landscape, unique architectural design, and interesting views of the city make the experience of visiting the High Line so special. We kept these qualities in mind while searching through our photography archives, and with the help of our superstar design team at OCD, we've narrowed in on the three images below.
Please help us decide which one to choose. VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE

This year's trends previewed at Interiors 2014
Students' work offers glimpse of what could be in style-savvy homes this year
Students' work offers glimpse of what could be in style-savvy homes this year
A pair of carefully crafted room sets created by students for design exhibition Interiors 2014 – currently taking place at the Birmingham NEC – offers the chance to see work by the potential designers of tomorrow, as well as the opportunity to take a look at the interiors trends that are expected to be in style-savvy homes later this year.
The 'Trends' project brings together the ideas of more than 60 students from Birmingham City University and features designs that encompass textiles, ceramics, lighting, and wall and floor coverings.
The concepts are based on the trends that have been predicted for autumn/winter 2014-15 by those creative consultancy types over at Global Color Research, and focus on geometric motifs, maritime backdrops and patterns found in the natural world.
Now in its seventh year, 'Trends' has been the launching pad for a number of award-winning designers, including Gardeners' World Live exhibitor Suzi Mclaughlin and Jasmine Gilhooly, who has gone on to launch bespoke handbag company J D'Cruz.
And – who knows? – perhaps a student whose work is featured at this year's event could one day be the focus of an H&A Antiques of the Future profile.
Interiors 2014 is at the Birmingham NEC until 22nd January

GPSolo Magazine - April/May 2004
When Clients Venture Among the Capitalists
Ask a few people about their definition of the term venture capital and you're likely to hear a host of descriptions, from "financing for new businesses" to "capital that's subject to more than the normal degree of risk" to a knowledgeable "independently managed, dedicated pools of capital that focus on equity or equity-linked investments in privately held, high-growth companies."
All the replies are accurate to some degree. Venture capital is a catchall term that describes an illiquid equity investment in a privately held company. The company may need seed, development, or early or later-stage capital; but in all cases, to secure an investment, your client will need to convince potential investors of its ability to execute a high-growth strategy.
Venture capital funds typically are run by investment professionals who have a fiduciary responsibility to their investors and thus pay strict attention to corporate housekeeping, business planning, management team building, internal projections, document preparation, and due diligence of the companies they invest in. How this information is presented in the proposal can be critical to a successful capital raise.
Business owners often turn to a lawyer after having met with several different investor groups and having been unable to obtain funding. Nine times out of ten, the client was introduced to a few investor groups as a "favor" to a friend of the owner, CEO, CFO, etc. This a highly ineffective way to raise funds; moreover, after several months of talking with investor groups and getting nowhere, you and the client's deal will appear tired and shopworn—as much as one tries to be discreet, eventually the street has a way of knowing who's out there knocking on doors.
Finding the Right Fit
Raising capital is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Selecting, engaging, and working with well-respected and experienced outside advisers, other counsel, bankers, and auditors early in the process can be crucial to a successful raise. Remember, an investor group of venture capitalists (VCs) probably looks at 300-plus companies a year; your client has got to stand out.
Do as much research as necessary to ensure both you and your client understand the VCs'focus and their investment objectives. VC funds produce exceptional internal rates of return for their investors; this is how they stay in business and raise capital for future funds. A successful venture must be able to meet or exceed the group's internal objectives—as a guideline, typically a 30 percent or higher annual return.
The next most important point is to know what the proposal is worth. The business owner who creates a company often acts like a parent whose child wasn't chosen for the lead in the school play—parents just don't believe they have an ugly baby—but not understanding how a company is valued by potential investors is probably the single biggest deal killer there is. The value of the company must be based on solid financial information. The client must know how comparable publicly traded companies are valued, what mergers and acquisitions have been going on in the industry, how to value the client's future cash flows through discount cash flow (DCF) analysis, and the historical growth rate of the industry as well as the project rate. In each of these areas, the most compelling details will be those that make investing in the client's company too good to pass up.
Industry focus is another important investment criterion. Funds often are focused on a certain market sector—consumer products, technology, biotechnology, media. Your client's investment opportunity must fit within the fund's industry focus. Also essential is knowing in advance the size of the fund as it relates to the amount of investment your client wants. A fund with $250 million to invest will have a hard time justifying a $5 million venture because doing the due diligence and working with that company take the same amount of time and effort as a $20 million investment. It's simply not prudent for the fund to work with $5 million at a time and then stay on top of 50 companies' activities.
Additional factors that should be investigatedbefore presenting to an investor group are stage of development (is the company looking for seed capital or is it in a later stage of development?), funding round (is this the company's first round or a later round of capital?), and geographic location (many investors insist that their funds cover only specific areas of the country).
Nuts and Bolts
In my experience, business owners often forget that wealth creation is best achieved by focusing on executing the plan to build a successful company rather than by having lawyers puff up owners' egos while nitpicking valuation issues and ownership interests. From the VC perspective, nothing is higher on the priority list than management, management, and management. Management with a strong, proven track record and relevant skill set is the most important factor in evaluating an investment. How your client's management views the business and the individuals' experience, industriousness, and commitment and willingness to work with new partners are all factors that can further a positive result.
In preparing for the meeting, always keep in mind that the business plan or confidential information memorandum you and your client create, as with all forms of communication to potential investors, must present the company in the best light. Be sure all documents are credible and accurate and that they cover every aspect of the company the potential investors may query: the opportunity and market size and segments; all variables including customers, technology, distribution, and competition; management skills and experience; marketing strategy and sales plans; strategic relationships; and current and projected financials. This information must be clear and must be able to stand up to the strictest due diligence examination—and be able to help you and your client present the business opportunity in an enticing and compelling manner.
Other Options
Depending on the size and developmental stage of a company, several other types of funding options may be available. But be sure your client is clear about the distinction between debt and equity. Debt is some form of a loan to the company, while equity represents an ownership stake. Growth capital typically is some form of equity.
• Banks and other commercial lenders are not in the business of providing growth capital. Senior debt commonly includes funds that are borrowed from banks, insurance companies, investment banks, or financial institutions, as well as notes, bonds, or debentures not defined as junior or subordinated. ("Junior" and "subordinated" refer to the order of repayment behind a "senior" credit facility.)
• In the lending category are companies looking to expand or acquire business or other assets, to repay debt, and to repurchase equity, and companies with working capital needs. Lenders review a number of factors in determining ability to repay debt. Commonly, inventory and/or accounts receivable, operating profits, or potential asset sales are taken into consideration.
• Commercial financing comes in a variety of forms, with lines of credit, revolving loans, and term loans the most frequently used. Commercial loans and letters of credit also are common debt structures for closely held businesses. Lease financing and factoring can help to reduce working capital needs as a business grows.
• Mezzanine capital became the "hot" funding vehicle as banks and other lending institutions tightened their criteria after the bubble burst in 2000. Mezzanine capital occupies the place in between the high-risk VCs and security-oriented commercial vendors. It fills gaps in the company's capital structure between equity and senior secured debt.
Mezzanine investors typically have a medium-risk tolerance, look for current financial results (i.e., that the company is currently performing), want positive operating income, will accept a junior collateral position, and work within a flexible structure (usually subordinated debt with warrants or some other equity feature, or preferred stock). Funding may be used for buyouts, recapitalizations, acquisitions, and growth past a point at which a senior lender would feel comfortable but below the level an equity investor would be willing to provide.
Mezzanine lenders can be viewed either as cheap equity or expensive debt. The debt will carry a current coupon of 10 percent to 14 percent, with an equity component that will yield the investor an internal rate of return between 15 percent and 30 percent. As with VC funds and commercial lenders, a well-articulated plan will give your client the best chance of attracting mezzanine funds.
As with all financial transactions, you and your client must weigh the pros and cons of all options. Cases that involve existing debt may require additional information or explanation: The client must be able to clearly explain the purpose of the financing, the amount of money needed, time period the funding will be necessary, possible collateral, and whether the client will personally guarantee the repayment. A business plan including information on the client's industry and an overview of the company's history and future should accompany applications to any of these sources.
Navigating the Process
Many companies seeking funding never obtain it. One of the reasons for this is what I call the "entrepreneur's curse": They like to do it themselves, their way! But seeking outside advice is nowhere more critical than in bringing outside investors into a company.
The multitude of corporate governance issues that need to be addressed in any financial venture fairly demand the assistance of a skilled attorney, and the same principle may be true in terms of a lawyer's knowledge of business capitalization. Don't be hesitant to secure outside guidance that might benefit you and your client. Engage an experienced and objective investment banker to help determine valuation and structure and to review—or even present—the company financials if this will help. Raising capital signals an exciting time in a company's development; the trick is all in increasing the odds.

I really don't like Betty White.
Unfortunately for me, she seems to be returning to the public eye. I see her in commercials for candy bars. She often appears in cameo appearances in TV shows. Frankly, I don't see the appeal, unless maybe it is driven by nostalgia for past, possibly better times. Nostalgia is like that; it softens the edges, it accentuates the positives while ignoring the negatives. To some degree, everything looks better from the vantage point of temporal distance. Don't believe me? Well, consider Ronald Reagan. He was vilified as a President by roughly half of the country during his presidency, but these days he is held up as a leader to be emulated by both political parties.
I say this as if I exist on some kind of higher mental plane wherein I am immune to the coercive effects of nostalgia. I am not. As evidence of this, I point you to the enthusiastic response I gave to the editor-in-chief of this website when he asked if I would be interested in looking at a remake of the venerable adventure game, Leisure Suit Larry. Today's generation (well, let's be honest here: the last three or four generations) of gamers, if they have heard of Leisure Suit Larry at all, have heard the hoary old stories from the "good old days" of video gaming of a game that broke all the molds, such as they were back in the dark ages of the late 80's.
Back then, there was no such thing as an 'M' game rating, primarily because there was no need for such a thing. Sierra Entertainment strived to create such a need with Leisure Suit Larry. Sensitivities were much different back then; a sex-themed game of any sort was considered to be a form of soft porn. As such, the game naturally drew a crowd of buyers. It was the must-have game of the 80's. But, much like Coors beer (which at the time was only available west of the Mississippi), the anticipation was far better than the actual product.
I must have forgotten that last part, being blinded by nostalgia and all.
Which brings us to Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded. With funding acquired through a very successful Kickstarter campaign, Replay Games has rebuilt the original game from the ground up, although the gameplay/text/puzzles have remained very closely aligned with the original.
Basically, they have created a "Betty White on Botox" clone.
Those of you that don't remember (or never saw) EGA graphics may not be quite as impressed with the new graphics, much in the way that those who have never had to figure out precisely what text to enter to make things happen in the game may not fully appreciate the new mouse & keyboard controls, although they too are somewhat frustrating at times. But then again, if you aren't aware of those archaic things, you are probably not going to be overly impressed with game, either. I say that because humor has arguably changed in the intervening years. It has simultaneously become coarser and more sophisticated, or at least it feels that way to me. Sure, we still have shows like Two and a Half Men for potty humor and sexual innuendo, the very forestays of Leisure Suit Larry humor, but for the most part the jokes, such as they are, put the infantile efforts of Larry to shame.
So, yes, the game is far more visually appealing and it is much easier to tell the game what you want to do, but it won't take long for the novelty of the new graphics (which, due to the memory-corrosive effects of nostalgia, will look just like you remembered them anyway) and controls to wear off. You will be left with nothing but the core game and quite frankly, it just wasn't that good of a game to start with. There is a tremendous amount of repetition required to solve some of the puzzles or to find critical clues, and you never really know if there is eventually going to be a payoff if you stick at it long enough or if you're just wasting your time.
You also never really know when clicking on something that looks perfectly benign will kill you; logic does not seem to apply in Larry's world. That said, some of the best humor (perhaps because it is the newest) is reserved for those scenes. Even the clicking itself is fraught with frustration: do I want to click with the mouth cursor? The zipper? The hand? The legs? It can be quite confusing.
If you find yourself pining for another go at sexual frustration enjoyed(?) vicariously through the character of Larry Laffer and you're reasonably sure your memory of the late 80's experience hasn't significantly degraded through the last three decades, then by all means go out and get yourself a copy of the 'Reloaded' version.
If, on the other hand, you aren't quite sure if your memories are sound, you might be better off seeing if you can score some old re-runs of The Golden Girls.
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company.
I've been fascinated with video games and computers for as long as I can remember. It was always a treat to get dragged to the mall with my parents because I'd get to play for a few minutes on the Atari 2600. I partially blame Asteroids, the crack cocaine of arcade games, for my low GPA in college which eventually led me to temporarily ditch academics and join the USAF to "see the world." The rest of the blame goes to my passion for all things aviation, and the opportunity to work on work on the truly awesome SR-71 Blackbird sealed the deal.
My first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1 that I bought in 1977 when they first came out. At that time you had to order them through a Radio Shack store - Tandy didn't think they'd sell enough to justify stocking them in the retail stores. My favorite game then was the SubLogic Flight Simulator, which was the great Grandaddy of the Microsoft flight sims.
While I was in the military, I bought a Commodore 64. From there I moved on up through the PC line, always buying just enough machine to support the latest version of the flight sims. I never really paid much attention to consoles until the Dreamcast came out. I now have an Xbox for my console games, and a 1ghz Celeron with a GeForce4 for graphics. Being married and having a very expensive toy (my airplane) means I don't get to spend a lot of money on the lastest/greatest PC and console hardware.
My interests these days are primarily auto racing and flying sims on the PC. I'm too old and slow to do well at the FPS twitchers or fighting games, but I do enjoy online Rainbow 6 or the like now and then, although I had to give up Americas Army due to my complete inability to discern friend from foe. I have the Xbox mostly to play games with my daughter and for the sports games.

Long Realty is pleased to bring you tips for Living in Arizona, courtesy of our local Long Advantage business partners. The articles below covers an array of helpful and insightful tips for the Arizona lifestyle. We hope you find this information useful.
Create a New Look in Your Home for Spring!
March 4, 2013
Painting is by far the biggest "bang for the buck" way to create a dramatic change in your home. Here are a few tips from our Long Advantage Partner, Taylor Design Group, to help you create a custom classy look.
Start by choosing a rich classic neutral for the overall base color, and then mix in a couple of accent walls with your favorite colors for drama. Small spaces like bathrooms are a terrific place to experiment with bold colors, just make sure you have plenty of light.
Make those too low ceilings feel higher by painting them white. If you have ceiling fans be sure to use "ceiling huggers" and make sure they are white as well. Contrast is what you don't want to a see. To create some architectural interest where there is little, paint the doors, trim and baseboards white like the ceiling. Here, you are looking for contrast against your rich neutral wall shade.
Your fireplace wall is an opportunity be painted a couple shades darker than your walls to add presence. To get that crisp polished look, paint the inside of the firebox flat black with fireproof paint. As we head into summer, you won't be using your fireplace, but you can create an Arizona Fire. Place a collection of candles at different heights inside the firebox. When you light them you will have the warmth, flicker and sparkle of a fire without the heat
Finish up your new look by adding a colorful area rug to the living or family room and several pillows in coordinating colors.
Need help with paint colors for your home?
Taylor Design Group can guide you through a color consultation, so that that you will have a special look that is yours alone. And you will feel be confident about your choices with a professional at your side.

Gossip Girl Sneak Peeks: A Prenup Loophole?Steve Marsi at . Comments
Might Blair escape her loveless fake marriage with a quickie annulment after all? It looks that way, based on the sneak preview clip from Monday's episode below! Then she and Dan can live happily ever after, right?
Somehow we don't think it will be that simple, but that's the gist of what she's saying as she explains to the Hump that because they signed the prenup in Monaco but wed in the U.S., she may be able to get it annulled.
Seriously. Gossip Girl writing at its best/worst. It'll get Louis out of the picture at least. See below:
In the producers' weekly preview, we're treated to some additional footage from the episode, as well as some broad, additional teases regarding what we can expect to take place throughout "The Princess Dowry."
We now know that:
- The return of William van der Woodsen and the reason behind it are crucial
- Some major, "life-changing" secrets and reveals are going to come out
- The prestige and wealth of the UES plays a particularly prominent role
- The episode takes place almost in real time - within a couple of hours
- Chair and Dair fans will both have a lot to discuss afterward
Take a look at the two-minute episode preview and comment below!

The Startup Legal Garage, the flagship program of the Institute for Innovation Law at UC Hastings College of the Law, has been awarded a $121,500 grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the world's largest foundation dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship.
Support from the Kauffman Foundation enables the Startup Legal Garage to collect and analyze data about the types of legal issues early-stage companies encounter nationwide. The program will provide policy makers and regulatory bodies with the data and analysis they need to make informed decisions that support innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Startup Legal Garage, named one of the most innovative law school programs in the country, is a unique model where UC Hastings students work under the supervision of top corporate and intellectual property attorneys to provide early-stage companies with free legal services.
The program focuses on traditionally underrepresented and underserved women and minority entrepreneurs. Working closely with entrepreneurs during the critical stage of their business provides the Startup Legal Garage with the opportunity to gather information about legal issues that hinder innovation and entrepreneurship.
"In the process of facilitating free legal support and services for early-stage companies, the Institute is in a unique position to capture important information about them. We are honored to be recognized by the Kauffman Foundation, whose support enables us to advance our knowledge about the legal issues early-stage companies face," said Robin Feldman, Professor and Director of the Institute for Innovation Law.
In addition to supporting data collection and analysis, the Kauffman Foundation grant will fund the development of a standardized data-collection template. The program also will publish its findings, as well as share the underlying data for academic and research purposes. This grant follows on the heels of a grant from the Blackstone Charitable Foundation to significantly expand the number of early-stage companies the Startup Legal Garage serves. This growth in the number of companies served enables the program to collect and analyze data from more companies in order to provide policymakers with the specific information they need to make decisions that propel entrepreneurial success.
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is a private, nonpartisan foundation that aims to foster economic independence by advancing educational achievement and entrepreneurial success. Founded by late entrepreneur and philanthropist Ewing Marion Kauffman, the Foundation is based in Kansas City, Mo., and has approximately $2 billion in assets.
For more information, visit www.kauffman.org, and follow the Foundation on www.twitter.com/kauffmanfdn and www.facebook.com/kauffmanfdn.
The Institute for Innovation Law at UC Hastings is an institute dedicated to promoting data-driven law-making—allowing courts, legislators, and regulators to make informed decisions using reliable and objective analysis—and creating the active classroom. Focused on innovation, the Institute provides a trusted source of high-quality, substantive academic research that helps create the tools and knowledge necessary to cultivate a culture of innovation.

He�s not a dictator and won�t entertain the idea of a �Jedi mind-meld� with opponents. There�s no �secret formula or special sauce� he can slip foes to make them see things his way. And not to worry, he says, the situation may look dire but won�t be an �apocalypse.�
So who was the guy in a suit and tie who showed up Friday in the White House briefing room, mixing metaphors and references to �Star Wars� and �Star Trek�?
�I am not a dictator. I�m the president,� Barack Obama declared as he rejected the idea of using Secret Service agents to keep lawmakers from leaving until everyone agreed on a budget. He answered reporters� questions shortly after an inconclusive, 52-minute meeting with the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate.
�So ultimately, if (Senate Minority leader) Mitch McConnell or (House Speaker) John Boehner say, �We need to go to catch a plane,� I can�t have Secret Service block the doorway. Right?�
Even if he did bar his office � the oval one � Obama said he wouldn�t do a �Jedi mind-meld� with Congress� top two Republicans to persuade them �to do what�s right.�
Yoda-quoting nerds, Beltway insiders and even Hollywood heroes were instantly abuzz. The presidential mishmash of sci-fi references went viral, turning off geeks who had considered Obama one of their own after a slip of the tongue that was almost as bad as confusing Klingons and Ewoks, or even Democrats and Republicans.
Jedi are from �Star Wars,� while mind melds happened on �Star Trek.�
Mister Spock of �Star Trek� weighed in.
�Only a Vulcan mind-meld would be effective on this Congress. LLAP,� Leonard Nimoy emailed after The Associated Press sought his reaction. Nimoy signed off with the abbreviation for his �Live long and prosper.�
Maybe it was the power of the Force or some kind of Starfleet prime directive, but the White House couldn�t ignore comments like that, flashing in and out of time and space and mixed metaphors like a Tardis traveling at warp speed in social media. It later tweeted: �We must bring balance to the force,� with a link to an Obama photo inside a border designed to look like outer space.
As for the situation that led Obama to the briefing room in the first place, he could have quoted Bobby McFerrin and just said: �Don�t worry. Be happy.�
Instead, the president went with: �This is not going to be an apocalypse.�

Meyer Limoncello Sorbet. (My husband has been hinting for more of this refreshing treat.) I decided to make one of my favorite lemon dessert recipes, from Ina Garten; it's a popular in blogosphere, as I've seen it on several blogs. I found the recipe in my Ina Garten cookbook library, "Barefoot Contessa at Home: Everyday Recipes You'll Make Over and Over Again." The first time I posted this recipe, I named it "Guilt-Less Lemon Yogurt Cake". This time, I used Meyer lemons, instead of Eureka lemons-- but either lemon works very well. You can see step-by-step photos on how to make this right here.
pure lemon extract into the batter, for more flavor. I also used low-fat vanilla yogurt since I didn't have Greek yogurt on hand. The cake took about 45 minutes to be ready, but I always say it's safer to check your cakes before the suggested time (Ina says 50 minutes).
Thanks to Baker's Joy, I can easily spray my bundt pan and the cake slips right out! Allow the cake to cook for about 5 minutes, on a cooling rack.
My family loves this cake. It's fool-proof and it disappears really fast.
You can view a printable recipe at the bottom of this page. Make this cake, I tell you! It'll quickly become a keepsake, if you love lemon.
Baked with love,

Nana's Chocolate Milk
Lesson 1 of 21
Objective: SWBAT: • Describe what it looks like and feels like to persevere in solving a problem. • Describe the problem posed in "Nana's Chocolate Milk" and identify the given information. • Brainstorm multiple ideas of how to solve Nana's Chocolate milk problem. • Use a strategy to solve the problem and show their math thinking. • Use peer feedback to revise their solution and work.
Big Idea: How can you fix Nana's chocolate milk? Students work on this problem over time to develop a final product that demonstrates their mathematical thinking and solution.
This packet is broken down into small chunks and I teach it before students start Unit 5 on ratios and rates. It helps if students work on the packet over a week or two. The problem gets students thinking about the relationship between the milk and chocolate and pushes them to come up with a mathematical solution.
At the end of each page there is a self-evaluation. I want my students to reflect on the same questions that they think about when reflecting during the Ticket to Go:
- Did I come to class prepared?
- Did I follow classroom expectations?
- Did I try my best?
- Did I support the learning of other students?
Resources (1)
Students independently complete page 1. Students participate in a Think Pair Share with a partner about what it looks like and feels like to persevere. I ask students, "Does it take courage to persevere?" I want students to recognize that problem solving is difficult and can be frustrating, but it is important to work through it and keep trying.
Students participate in a Think Write Pair Share. Some students may share about strategies like drawing a picture or using manipulatives, while other students may talk about taking a break and then going back to the problem or rereading information. I want students to write down these strategies so they can revisit this page if they get stuck later while working on the problem.
Introduction to the Problem
- Dan Meyer's video can be found at http://threeacts.mrmeyer.com/nana/act1/act1.mov
I ask students if they have ever had to follow a recipe to make something. I tell students they are going to see a problem involving a recipe. I preview what students should be looking for on page 3.
We watch the video and students take notes on what happened. After the video, I ask students, "How can Dan fix the glass he has just created?" We watch the video again and students add anything they missed to their notes. I have students share out about what they notice and what they wrote down. I want the students to have the recipe and what Dan actually made written down so they can refer to it later.
Resources (1)
- I may start this section on one day and have students revisit and finish brainstorming the next day.
Students participate in a Think Write Pair Share about ideas on how to fix Dan's glass of chocolate milk. Before students share out, I remind them that I am not asking for an answer. I am asking for a general idea. I record students' ideas on the board. Students will say to start over, and I tell them that this is not an option. I repeat the question, "How can Dan fix this glass of milk?" Students will mention add more milk, add more milk and chocolate, take out some chocolate, among other ideas.
Resources (1)
Focusing on One Idea
- Once students are finished with this part, I collect student work. I read over students' ideas and I write 1-2 questions that I have about their idea. Some of these questions are, "How much milk are you going to add? Why?" "How could you use math to show that your idea will work?" "Why are you adding _______ milk/chocolate?" Many students start with an idea that needs more details and specifics.
- A common misunderstanding is some students think they can remove some of the chocolate. I remind them that Dan has already stirred the milk so that all of the chocolate has dissolved.
- If students are struggling, I may give them red/yellow counters or double number lines so that they can create a visual of the recipe and what Dan did.
We watch the Act One Video again. I ask a volunteer to explain the question. Students need to understand that "starting over" is not an appropriate response to this question. I tell students that I will be collecting their work and reading over their idea. I remind students that they need to show their work so that I can easily understand their idea. If they are drawing pictures I want them to label the picture and explain what they are doing.
New Information
I pass back students' work so they can read over my questions. I explain that they are going to find out some new information that may affect their idea. I tell students, "The glass won't hold two cups of liquid. How does that affect your solution?" This serves as a way to challenge students who came up with the idea of adding another cup of milk and 3 scoops of chocolate to create a double batch of chocolate milk.
I ask students if someone has an idea that now won't work. I have a student explain the double batch idea and why they think it would have worked. This explanation can help other students who are still struggling.
Resources (1)
I ask students to share the new information that we found out. Students work on revising and changing their work independently. I walk around and monitor student progress.
I may ask some of the following questions:
- What is your plan? Why will it work?
- Exactly how much __________ are you planning on adding? Why?
- How could you use math to show that Nana will approve of your glass of chocolate milk?
- What kind of diagram can you create to show your thinking?
If students come up with a correct plan, I will ask them some of the following questions:
- What is another way you could solve this problem?
- What if Nana wanted the same kind of "chocolateyness" but…
- Only had 1 scoop of chocolate? How much milk should she add?
- Only had ¾ cup of milk? How much chocolate should she add?
- Used 9 scoops of chocolate? How much milk should she add?
- Was making a large batch? If she used 5 ½ cups of milk, how many scoops of chocolate should she add?
Resources (1)
Getting Feedback
I ask students to think about these things, "What makes useful feedback?" "When giving feedback I should…" "When receiving feedback I should…" I review the rubric for showing work.
I give examples of how to give constructive feedback:
- It's good that you have created a picture to show your work, but I am confused about what it means.
- You explain your plan but you don't use math to prove that it will work.
- You have a good start with adding milk, but you don't say exactly how much you will add and why.
- Why do you think your plan will work?
Students switch papers with a neighbor and take a few minutes to silently read their partner's work. Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. They record their feedback. Then students talk with their partner and share their feedback and ask questions. I ask students, "How did it feel to receive feedback? What did you partner do well? Why is getting feedback important?" I explain that as students and adults they will receive feedback from teachers and employers. Nobody's perfect and feedback helps us to keep improving!
My Solution
I review the rubric for showing and explaining work. Students take a minute to review their feedback from their peer. Then they work independently to revise their solution so that they show and explain their mathematical thinking (MP1). I walk around and monitor student progress.
Resources (1)
Gallery Walk
Students put their revised solution on their desks with a peer feedback sheet (students can also create their own feedback sheets on notebook paper). The paper has 3 columns (+ = strengths, delta = area that can be improved, ? = question). When I say go, students have to find a different desk to sit at before I count down to 0. I start the timer and students have a minute and a half to analyze the work and write feedback. The number of rotations will depend on how efficient students transition from desk to desk.
With about 10 minutes remaining, students return to their seats to read over their feedback. Each student gives him/herself a score on the "Show" and "Explain" parts of the rubric. I ask students to share out, "What did you find interesting about your classmates' work? What did you do well? What can you improve on?"
We watch the Act 3 video (http://threeacts.mrmeyer.com/nana/). I ask students to explain why Dan's solution works. I tell students there is more than one way to solve this problem. I ask other students to share out other ideas for solving the problem.
Once students have started learning about ratios, I will bring up Nana's Chocolate Milk problem to see how their thinking has evolved.

It's hard to know why people we love are sometimes taken far too soon. I'm feeling a lot of heartache over it, but God is always good, His plan is perfect, and I know He'll help our family through it.

O's double up A's 6-3
Lough, Jones homer against Oakland
O's double up A's 6-3
Lough, Jones homer against Oakland
Kevin Gausman earned his first win as a starter while Adam Jones and David Lough each homered, leading the Baltimore Orioles over the Oakland Athletics 6-3 Saturday night.
Called up from Triple-A Norfolk earlier in the day, Gausman (1-1) set career highs by pitching seven innings and striking out six.
Gausman, the fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft, gave up one run and four hits and walked one. He had made six previous starts in the majors over two seasons.
Jones hit his ninth homer, a solo shot in the first. Lough, who entered the game batting just .184, hit his second homer.
Oakland lost for just the second time in eight games. Sonny Gray (6-2) allowed a season-high five runs on four hits and four walks in 5 1-3 innings.

Unless we want the example to show a more advanced case of the WSDL being different from the MEX WSDL in the spec (e.g. having a different EPR), I would suggest that we keep it simple and not include the WSDL. When the WSDL is not included then the binding information for the MEX operations would default to be the same as the binding information for the stockquote EPR itself. There really isn't any other choice - but perhaps we could make this assumption more explicit by adding something to the section of MEX that talks about policy within an EPR. thanks -Doug ______________________________________________________ STSM | Standards Architect | IBM Software Group (919) 254-6905 | IBM 444-6905 | email@example.com The more I'm around some people, the more I like my dog.

All v1 edits were "accepted" so it should be easy to see the diff from v1. - the edits were done in stages so that's why you'll see several Dugv? names. It wasn't until round 4 of edits that I remembered to change the user name. The MEX edits include: - lots of minor editorial tweaks - there's a new Terminology section. This was added because it was felt that the two roles ('service endpoint' and 'metadata resource') needed to be defined and clarified. People should read/review this carefully. - the assertion was modified to advertise whether GetMetadata is supported - and the Dialect/Content params are now under GetMetadataSupported. - there's a new section 12 about Bootstrapping. This section was added to pretty much put all of the various pieces of the puzzle together when trying to bootstrap the process of talking to an endpoint. - updated the xsd/wsdl for GetWSDL Note: I'm planning on moving section 5 before section 4. This will make it so that we define the new mex:Metadata type before we use it. I didn't move it in the doc because then it would show up as modified. Outstanding MEX issues for the WG to discuss: - Example 8-5 - see comments in the doc - Example 12-1 - see comment in the doc thanks -Doug ______________________________________________________ STSM | Standards Architect | IBM Software Group (919) 254-6905 | IBM 444-6905 | email@example.com The more I'm around some people, the more I like my dog.Received on Thursday, 25 February 2010 03:29:19 UTC

Television cameras will predictably and endlessly lock on Ray Lewis during Sunday's AFC title game, but there's a lesser known Baltimore Ravens linebacker set to play a major role against the New England Patriots.
Dannell Ellerbe has his work cut out for him against Tom Brady and an offense that loves to chop up defenses over the middle. The Patriots killed the Texans last weekend with short passes to its stable of backs, making mincemeat of Houston's inside linebackers. That was an obvious weak spot for the Texans with Brian Cushing out of the picture, but the Ravens should present a stiffer challenge.
Ellerbe arguably outplayed Lewis this season and he's enthusiastic to get another shot at New England.
"They're really tough matchups," Ellerbe told the team's official site. "But then again, I've had these matchups all year and played these guys a couple times. I pretty much know what to expect with these guys."
Ellerbe won't be the primary defender on slot wideout Wes Welker -- that responsibility will probably fall to cornerback Corey Graham -- but the linebacker could see plenty of Welker if he's sent across the middle. Said Ellerbe: "I see everybody. Everybody is coming across the middle and everybody is lining up in the slot."

The Ravens masterfully took away the deep ball against the Denver Broncos last weekend. That alone won't do the trick against Brady and the Patriots. Ellerbe will be front and center in Baltimore's attempt to shut down the run, squelch the short passing game, and do what the Texans couldn't a week ago.
