To guide successfully and effectively the educational and scholastic development of students through kindergarten, primary and secondary levels of learning (K-13) in pursuit of excellence and in preparation for education at tertiary institutions of education.
"In Diligent Pursuit of Excellence"
1st September, 1998
The Academy is governed by the Board of the AlphaMax Foundation. In addition to the Board of Directors, which oversees the Administration of the Academy, there is a Board of Trustees that reviews and confers Academy diplomas.
Classes at the Academy are conducted by a 18-member team of qualified and experienced teachers. Included are professors from the Anton de Kom University of Suriname (ADEK) where laboratory experiments in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are conducted.
85 (inclusive of all levels)
The Academy, which is registered in the Republic of Suriname and recognized by the Suriname Ministry of Education, was started in 1998 by a group of academics in Suriname who saw the urgent need for an institution of learning to make a positive difference in the education of children within the wider context of eroded scholastic standards. From the inception, there has been a strong emphasis on academic excellence – and the directors of the fledgling school chose to enshrine this idea not only in the school's motto, but also in the method of teaching – small classes where students are guaranteed individual attention in a highly interactive academic environment to ensure quality, good student retention, and an insistence on good performance on internationally-accepted, external, American examinations.
English is the language of instruction through all levels. This choice was made to provide wider opportunities to matriculating scholars, who, in point of fact, reside in a global village where English is acknowledged as lingua franca amidst a rich, linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity.

Sorry for the posting delay - I started reading the Twilight series and just couldn't put them down until I'd read all 4.5 books. Not sure if I want to see the movie - the Edward in my head looks nothing like the actor playing him. While, surprisingly the actress playing Bella is nearly identical to how I pictured her. I hope there will be more books in this series, I really enjoyed them.
Anyway, back to knitting. Here are my Kandy Korn Socks
knit from Rock Creek Yarn's, Super Soft Sock Yarn in the Koi color.
This color of yarn is no longer available but there's a very similar color here.
This was a plain 64 Stitch sock. To form the purl spiral stripes on the cuff I purled when ever the orange section of yarn was above an orange stitch in the row below.
Easy Halloween Socks, the yarn did all the designing; all I had to do was knit and purl!
Then there's my problem project: The Sofia Cowl from One-Skein Wonders.
My end result doesn't look in the least like the original in the book or like others I see on Ravelry. I can't figure out what I did wrong. This was for a shop sample but it looks more like a turtleneck than a soft cowl. I checked and there doesn't seem to be any corrections on the publishers site. I'm working from a copy from the shop rather than the book and it looks like there's a hic-cup in the printing. I'll compare it when I go into work this week and see if that explains my odd strangler variation.
That's the end of my knitting update; if you hate vacation pictures now the times to click away.
The second half of our Trip the beginning of the month was Denver.
Such a pretty city. This picture was taken from the Natural History Museum.
We spent a warm late afternoon in Golden
They have a cute business district and a gorgeous river running through town. This is the water that's turned into Coors Beer. The whole down smells odd and we couldn't figure out what it was until we remembered how they make beer. It was the mash we were smelling, kinda similar to the smell of boiling potatoes.
While driving down to Taos we stopped in the little town of Trinidad (yeah! THAT Trinidad!! we had no idea until we were home) for lunch. Our car was stuck due to street closures so we watched and enjoyed the High School HomeComing Parade before we could get back on Hwy 25.
It was a fun small town experience; it had that something that's missing in big city life.
We stopped in Manitou Springs and visited the Pikes Peak Cog Railway.
Decided it was not a great idea to take the open railcars up a very tall mountain in a thunder storm. That's one of the problems of being older, you're way to practical.
The Rockies had their very first snow storm while we were there so, of course, we had to go see.
We headed west to Idaho Springs a very cute town. Most of the old buildings are still on the Main Street.
Estes Park was in full Fall Color - the most gorgeous Fall Color I've ever seen
And The Photographer was elated to find Elk to photograph.
Here is his portrait entitled"Elk Raspberry"

Taos Wool Festival
Did you miss me? I'm just back from the Taos Wool Festival. The Photographer and I decided to jump on a plane and go to the Festival. We didn't go just to see the festival there was the added pleasure of meeting up with my Colorado Cousin.
Saturday there was the threat of stormy skies but we were lucky and the forcast rain held off until evening. The sun even tried to peak through the clouds a couple of times that morning.
We saw sheep
and Goats
but the dogs out numbered the fiber animals three to one. The Photographer suggested they change the name of the show to the Taos Wool & Dog Festival.
there were even dogs in clothes
Great people watching
My only mild disappointment was that there seemed to be more finished items, especially hats, than fleece, fiber or yarn. As a knitter, spinner and very new weaver I wasn't looking for finished clothes, blankets or hats. I overheard a conversation (so I can't vouch for the truth of the statement) where it was said that they didn't get the number of vendors applying this year as they usually do, so they had to let everyone in rather than trying to get a good variety of sellers. Considering the melt down in the US and the World right now the organizers did a very good job.
I bought a couple of patterns, 5 skeins of yarn and a Shetland Fleece. More about that and the rest of our trip in my next Post.

Lenovo CFO Wong Waiming last week suggested that the Chinese company was open to the idea of acquiring Research In Motion in an effort to grow its mobile business as PC sales slow down. A statement sent to TheNextWeb by the company today suggests that certain statements may have been taken out context during the Bloomberg interview. Lenovo explains that Waiming's comments were meant to be more general in scope:
In general, we do not comment on M&A rumors or speculation.
We are aware that Lenovo's CFO [Wong] Waiming was speaking broadly about M&A strategy in a recent interview. RIM was raised as a potential target by the journalist and Mr. Wong repeatedly answered in a manner consistent with all of our previous statements on M&A strategy: Lenovo is very focused on growing its business, both organically and through M&A. When inorganic ideas arise, we explore them to see if there is a strategic fit.
With RIM open to various options to "create new opportunities, focusing on areas where we will be more effective partnering rather than going it alone, and ultimately maximizing value for all stakeholders," it is likely that some level of discussion is happening or has happened between interested parties (including Lenovo). Such talks are likely on the backburner this week as RIM prepares to launch its BlackBerry 10 devices on Wednesday.

Today, the group Save Our Hospital bussed in people to protest outside Mayo Clinic in Rochester. ABC 6 News Reporter Elise Romas joins us from downtown Rochester with details on today's protest.
Betsy, people flooded this area on 3rd Avenue right across the street from the Gonda Building, chanting to save their hospital. The group brought in close to 200 people from the Albert Lea area. They tell me they're upset that inpatient services like the intensive care unit and labor delivery will be moved to Austin, when they say it's safer and more logical for the community to have those services stay put in Albert Lea.
Mayo Clinic says that 95 percent of the services it offers, like out patient surgery, the cancer center and pre and post natal care will stay in Albert Lea.
In a statement, Mayo writes it feels the Save Our Hospital group's message of the move being 'life-threatening' and 'economically devastating' are not grounded in facts. Mayo also said even though its consolidating, it's still dedicated to preserving jobs and high-quality health care.

DJ Spooky's Tanna Center for The Arts
DJ Spooky is planning an artist's retreat on the island of Tanna in the archipelago of Vanuatu. Here is the Kickstarter project description:
The Project – Tanna Center for the Arts will be a 6-hectare/14.8-acre off-the-grid artists retreat, cultural preservation and technological education space. Its site is situated on the island of Tanna's northern up country in the archipelago of Vanuatu.
Our vision is to build an eco-haven using a majority of local materials and talent, engineer it using energy efficient design fueled by renewables, and fortify global understanding of one another and the changes we face together by making art to share with the world in this inspiring place.
The Goals – Preserve local communities, language & pristine lands through collaborative art & tech projects. Engage Tanna's youth in applying select mainland technologies that serve island tradition. Invite artistic and inventive exchange with a global art community in a retreat and creative lab at The Center. Create a project that is candid about navigating the competing economic, cultural and ecological aims presently confronting island nations.
The Motives – To preserve his culture, respected island leader Isso Kapum – son of Chief Jack Kapum of the Naihne Tribe – reached out to Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) to create opportunities for Tanna's native population through an artist retreat. This can generate jobs, cultural exchange and, most importantly, training for youth who leave home in search of work. Training in sustainable construction, water & waste management, permaculture, and renewable technologies can offset this loss. These practices have been extinguished from the culture and are needed for the survival of Tanna's eco-system, currently threatened by status quo, carbon-heavy practices.
Building skillsets for Tanna's youth that drive a localized, sustainable economy along with international tourism remain key aims expressed by island leaders. Bringing artists who's work and acclaim can magnify global awareness of both climate and cultural concerns faced by the Tannese is one way Paul feels such aims can be met.
Donating means helping a good cause and dope gifts in return. Check it out.

The BET Awards became the Bleep Awards on Sunday, as entire segments of performances were muted out due to foul language. Still, censors failed to catch many vulgarities that were uttered onstage, from performances by Nicki Minaj to even a parody by Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee.
It started during the opening number by Kanye West's G.O.O.D. music group, which included Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz. There were extended moments of censored silence when the rappers performed "Mercy," though not all the offending words were bleeped out. Moments later, Jackson, the show's host, was joined by Lee as they did a comedic version of Jay-Z and West's hit song "... In Paris," to laughs.
"Two distinguished Morehouse men," Lee joked after the performance, referencing the alma mater of the two.
The censor police also worked overtime when Rick Ross performed with his Maybach Music Group and during Minaj's performance and acceptance speech for best female hip-hop artist. Minaj's win was her third consecutive time taking the prize.
"I really, really appreciate BET for keeping this category alive, and I appreciate all the female rappers doing their thing, past, present and future," she said, before uttering an obscenity.
Gospel star Yolanda Adams, who also performed, gently took some of her peers to task as she won best gospel artist, urging them to act mature and use their fame wisely.
"We need all of ya'll," she said. "I'm saying the world needs everyone in this room. Please make sure that you use your gift responsibly, `cause we're watching. Our babies are watching, and they want to be like us."
West and Jay-Z won the ceremony's first award; at first, West arrived onstage alone, and alluded to his many awards-show mishaps.
"I wish Jay-Z was here to say something politically correct for me," he said, before his mentor came to the stage.
Other early winners included Chris Brown for best male R&B artist, his second consecutive win in the category.
Kevin Hart — who hosted the awards last year — also won for best actor, Big Sean was named best new artist and Wale and Miguel's smooth hit "Lotus Flower Bomb" won best collaboration.
West, who was up for seven awards, was the top nominee. Beyonce was the second most nominated act with six. She won best female R&B artist and thanked the genre and her female influences.
"I fell in love with music by listening to R&B. It's the core of who I am," she said, giving special thanks to Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige and "Whitney Houston, my angel."
Later, she lost the night's top award, video of the year, to Jay-Z and West's "Otis." When her husband won, she playfully hit him, as she laughed. The joking continued: Moments later, as West was giving his acceptance speech, Jay-Z interrupted him and said: "Excuse me Kanye, I'm gonna let you continue, but ...," and the audience erupted with laughter, recalling West's infamous interruption of Taylor Swift's MTV Video Music Awards speech a few years back.
The tone of night fluctuated frequently, as the show shifted from hotly anticipated performances to solemn moments to irreverence. Usher performed his groove "Climax," and Nicki Minaj sported a blonde wig with pink tips as she performed the songs "Champion" and "Beez In the Trap," which featured 2 Chainz.
The night also featured some tributes to deceased greats: Chante Moore performed a medley of Donna Summer's hits and Valerie Simpson sang a song in honor of her husband and writing partner Nick Ashford. Don Cornelius, Dick Clark and Hal Jackson were given shout-outs Even West offered tributes: after his performance, he name-dropped Rodney King and Whitney Houston in a verse that got cheers from the crowd, including his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.
Presenters included Taraji P. Henson, Kerry Washington and Jamie Foxx, who wore a T-shirt that had a picture of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen killed by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.

Traditionally fermented, unpasteurized foods are key to optimizing gut health, as is limiting processed, refined, and pesticide/chemical-ridden food. Eating fermented foods like saukerkraut, raw kefir, grass-fed yogurt, and fermented vegetables are a great way to rebalance your gut bacteria and improve your overall health.
Destroys gut flora, avoid:
- Antibiotics – avoid them unless absolutely necessary. Follow-up your treatment course with a hefty dose of fermented foods and/or high quality probiotic supplements.
- Chlorinated Water
- Fluoridated Water
- Antibacterial Soup
- Pesticides & Agricultural Chemicals
- Processed Foods
- Sugar
- Factory-farmed, i.e. conventionally raised, meats, eggs, and other animal products – they are fed low-dose antibiotics and fed genetically modified grains.
Improves gut health, consume more:
Kefir is one of the most gut-friendly foods, with balancing and restorative properties. Kefir is a rich source of probiotics, enzymes, macro and micronutrients, and countless vitamins and minerals including vitamins B and K, folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and proteins, including tryptophan, an essential amino acid known for its calming and relaxing effects. Kefir has been used to treat allergies, intestinal disorders, respiratory diseases, anemia, mood disorders, ulcers, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, colitis, leaky gut syndrome, UTIs, some cancers, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, Autism, depression, migraines, acne, eczema, psoriasis, candida overgrowth, osteoporosis, rheumatism, and more.
Kombucha tea is an adaptogen and supports healthy digestion, which in turn supports healthy brain functioning, mood, and cognition. Kombucha tea is a rich source of B vitamins and Vitamin C. B vitamins have been found to help stabilize mood, regulate anxiety, improve concentration, and even help fight depression. Vitamin C boosts immunity and suppresses the release of cortisol, i.e. stress-hormone that has been linked to stubborn belly fat, impaired mental clarity and functioning, depressed mood, and hypertension.
Grass-fed bone broth is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, gelatin and chondroitin sulfate. Besides boosting gut health and repairing digestive lining, bone broth boasts a range of other health benefits as well, including fighting inflammation, reducing joint pain, inhibiting infection, and promoting healthy bones, teeth, hair, and nails.
As always, support your local farmer and opt for grass-fed, organic sources. Besides being higher in nutrients overall, they aren't broken down by over-processing, chemicals, pesticides, etc.

After Schaub and backup Matt Leinart both had season-ending injuries, Yates was thrust into the job and guided the Texans to their first playoff berth.
Now the 24-year-old will lead the franchise in the biggest game of its 10-year history on Saturday in the first round of the playoffs against Cincinnati.
He bruised his left shoulder on a sack on Houston's first series last week against Tennessee and didn't play after that, but said he's fine and will be ready to play on Saturday.
Though he's played just six NFL games, Yates said he's been through so much that he feels he's been playing for a lot longer.
"It's been a long season," he said. "Even though I haven't been playing the entire season, I don't really feel like a rookie anymore. I've had a long time to get comfortable with this offense and comfortable with the teammates around me. Hopefully going into this playoff game, I don't have those rookie feelings anymore."
Star receiver Andre Johnson said Yates never behaved like a rookie and has been impressed with the quarterback's confidence. Yates already had that confidence when he entered the huddle prior to his first NFL snap after Leinart broke his collarbone in the second quarter against Jacksonville.
"He came in the huddle at Jacksonville with a smile on his face," Johnson said shaking his head. "He was just like: `Hey guys, let's go.' Most rookies would come in nervous and that's something you don't see in him. If he is nervous, he does a great job hiding it. I have a lot of confidence in his ability and what he can do."
Yates helped the Texans win that game at Jacksonville and one the next week against Atlanta, before rallying Houston from a 9-point deficit in the last six minutes for a 20-19 win over the Bengals. He found Kevin Walter on a 6-yard touchdown pass with two seconds left to give the Texans that thrilling win.
Yates believes having success against the Bengals in that game will boost the team's confidence as it prepares to face them again.
Houston has dropped three straight since then, including a 28-13 loss to Carolina in which Yates threw two interceptions. He said there have been a lot of difficulties in being thrown into this job, but the biggest one is that he's had to develop while the Texans were in a critical situation.
"Going through the learning process while this team was on a run and having some of those growing pains at the wrong time was kind of hurtful to the team," he said. "Every single game that I've played, whether I played bad or good or we won or lost, I've been learning every week and learning from my mistakes and just trying to get better."
He's been helped by a cadre of quarterbacks and a former quarterback in Houston coach Gary Kubiak with decades of experience. Schaub and Leinart are always there if he needs help or pointers. And the two players backing up Yates -- Jake Delhomme and Jeff Garcia -- have combined to play in the NFL for 25 years.
"They know that I'm hearing it from all angles and they do a good job of not giving me too much information or too much advice," Yates said of Delhomme and Garcia. "But having them to go through the experiences with me, they can reflect on what they've done in the past and it helps me a lot."
Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison love the study skills of Yates. They say he studies so much that he's starting to absorb game plans as quickly as someone who has been in the league for years. Another positive quality they've seen in him is his resilience.
"If something doesn't come right away for him, he keeps working at it," Dennison said. "You never have to correct him about the same thing twice. If you do it one time, then he understands."
He'll have a weapon he hasn't had for most of his tenure as starter with Johnson expected to return to full speed this week after playing just seven games this season because of injuries to both hamstrings. Johnson played about 15 plays last week, but they didn't spend much time on the field together with Yates leaving early because of his injury.
The soft-spoken Johnson isn't the type to pester a quarterback about getting the ball. But he's hoping to make a big impact in this game after waiting nine seasons to reach the postseason and figures Yates is aware of that.
"T.J. knows where I'm at," Johnson said with a laugh when asked if he'll be in Yates' ear Saturday.
Yates is excited to have Johnson back not just for his playmaking abilities, but for how he changes the way opposing defenses play the Texans simply by being on the field.
Johnson has just 492 yards receiving with two scores after finishing with more than 1,200 yards receiving in each of the past three seasons, including a career-high 1,575 yards in 2008.
"I'll definitely know where 80 is the entire game," Yates said. "He's definitely someone I'll be looking for on Sunday."
Another thing Yates is sure of concerning this game is that his parents will have better seats than they did the last time Houston played the Bengals. CBS commentators Marv Albert and Rich Gannon had a good time making fun of the Yates' seats at Paul Brown Stadium, which were on the second row from the top of the highest deck in the place. Their terrible seats seemed even worse with thousands of better empty seats throughout the stadium.
"Yes, they will definitely be a little closer," Yates said with a chuckle.

Windows 7 Pane Customizer will not function - Registry access denied
I'm running as an Administrator and never typically get these sorts of problems. Each time I go into the registry and set the permissions for it, the same error pops up with a new registry lines denying access. I've now set permissions for about 8-10 registry lines but still new ones are showing up. Obvious if there's dozens upon dozens this isn't a feasible solution.

Thank you. That's gonna take some time but it'll do the trick!
I find it absolutely ridiculous that in this day and age, something as simple as what I've asked here requires this much documentation and this much time to get working appropriately. It speaks volumes as to the lack of intuition on the part of the Win7 dev teams. This should be integrated into the default OS and shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to complete.
Thank goodness for people like you, we'd all be sitting here with our thumbs in our asses still if it weren't for the efforts of the staff on forums like these.

Got Character?
Posted on August 24th 2009 under Uncategorized
Why yes we do, thanks for asking. In fact, we've got character(s) all over the island. Shirtless Big Bike Man is one of my favorites. I've never seen the bike parked anywhere so I'm guessing that it's just for exercise rather than for transportation. Either way, I enjoy the entertainment value. Thanks Shirtless Big Bike Man.

You can read Part One here and Part Two here.
My father apologized to me over the pulpit, Brandon. He said that he didn't know. He said 'I'm an electrician. Your mother is a teacher. You were bringing home $20,000 every two weeks. I am sorry that we had no plans for you. No solutions on how to manage your money. We were ignorant. I'm sorry. We didn't know.
"Damn, how did that make you feel?" I asked.
"He didn't have to apologize. I was the one who played football in the NFL."
People think that because you play on television you're rich. Not the case. The rollercoaster of the NFL is a culture all its own. There is a pecking order and if you don't watch it you'll leave with money pressures. Pastor Scott "Scottie" Galbraith understands this very well.
He speaks in a preacher's meter. He was a bruising tight end who was the funniest player on the team. The Preacher part is new... well, new to me. Galbraith was drafted the same year as Seau. A bit lower. The 173rd pick in the 7th round. He started with Cleveland, then to Dallas, then to Washington, and back to Dallas before that next year brought just one call and that was from Green Bay -- six games into the season.
"All I wanted to do was make the team. They offered me a contract and then all I wanted to do was stretch out my contract. Then all I wanted to do was play six years."
Galbraith ended up playing nine. Oh yeah, and he has what Seau didn't... a Super Bowl ring.
They remained friends over the years. Seau seemed to have become MORE of the guy he was back there and then.
"[At USC] Junior ran off the field during a game to give him [another player] a chance to play because he knew that his parents were there," Galbraith said in a local news interview.
This superstar even remained a surfer who would sit atop a board and just listen to the waves. For the waves.
I don't know why this happened. I don't think concussions made this happen. Junior stayed hungry. That's hard to do for 20 years with concussions. Some men have to stay broke to stay hungry. Seau was successful and hungry.
Galbraith speaks eloquently about his concern regarding playing in the pros.
A pro life is a thousand miles a minute. It's hard to understand the adjustments you make. Your life. In money. Even tougher for someone in their early 20s to comprehend. Then, all of a sudden you hit a wall of maturation and after a while it's about dealing with a crash landing of a lifestyle that's over. Brotha, I've lived it.
Maybe Seau, too, hit that wall, along with that BIG-40 review of all things called "a life". You begin to say goodbye to elders. Begin to understand the difference between giving your kids instruction and sharing advice. At 40, you count your friends and begin to tally the dos and don'ts of your life's journey. You might even sit down and replay past mistakes just to make sure you're not repeating any of them at that moment.
Seau played long enough to have made many mistakes and still bounce back. So what was it?
Galbraith breaths deeply. "The Bible says, Jesus says, 'some things happen because of time and chance...'. Only God knows why. Now we have to make the choice to help the next [generation] understand what they are going through."
Optimism flows from him. Several careers (teacher, coach, part-time sheriff) after playing in the league, this son of a preacher finally has his own ministry in San Francisco at the Jerusalem Church of God in Christ. He wanted to be the team Chaplin for the Oakland Raiders, however that went to Napoleon McCallum.
Graduation Day at USC. (LtoR) Brandon Bowlin (S), Michael "Tex" Williams(OLB), Dwayne Garner(S), Scott Galbraith(TE).
But I think he will do better on his own... outside of the game. Pastor Galbraith ain't no punk. He speaks in stark tones about what he believes in a way only a life before the pulpit can offer and almost had me tithing. Still, it hasn't been perfect. He was an average Joe in the league, but a family of educators and preachers would supply him with the support he needed just long enough to deal with his playing pangs and to get past his regrets. That is the gift his father gave him. Breathing room.
So here we are. Days after the shocking news and I'm still rooting through others' lives. Trying to see the light between despair and determination. Yet, and please forgive my gruesomeness, I have a belief that every great human endeavor, every great movement, requires a sacrifice. A loss that inspires us, at the very least, to collectively stand and change the world.
Whether or not you agree with me doesn't really matter. For in a couple of hours, men, women, and children from every corner the nation will stream into a strangely quiet stadium in San Diego and turn it into a temple. On a sunny day in May, memories -- joyous and painful -- will bask alike. Not to watch this graceful and violent sport called Football or even to enjoy a Super Bowl victory. But to offer respect and celebrate the life of a human being. This man.
The lesson? Every death can bring us together. I've talked to people I haven't spoken with in over 10 or 20 years. Rummaged through pictures and videos. Tapped down memory lane a bit. But I've also seen that we continuously have choices. Even when you lose the game you love. Or a lifestyle you desire. Or a home. A career. Even when fate snatches you into new territory, you have choices.
And yes, the kids will play on the stadium steps. People will cry, hug, laugh, and smile. Maybe a band will play off in the distance. All before a moment of silence.
To listen for the waves. And hopefully, together...
...find some breathing room.

Robert Baer
An important crack in the wall: last night Chris Matthews hosted former spook Robert Baer, now of Time magazine, and NBC foreign correspondent Richard Engel and they both said that Israel is escalating hostilities with Iran to provoke Iran into an attack that will justify American military response. As Matthews said, oh, so they're trying to hook us into a war?
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Baer is the leader of this conversation. He has no doubt that Israel killed the Iranian scientist (and Engel echoes). He has no doubt of the aim: war. Matthews seems to concur, but with a faked puzzlement.
That is the most curious part of the exchange, to me, Matthews's practiced innocence. At the end, he says the most important words, we'll be following this till the election. And in a signal to his bosses, he says, Because it's politics. It's not about Israel's divine right to exist. It's about the lobby playing out in our politics. I think that Matthews is telling the Comcast boys– David Cohen, who formerly chaired the Jewish federations in Philadelphia, Matthews's home town– that he has an obligation to cover this stuff because it's about America going to war and it's in the political campaign and that doesn't make him an enemy of Israel (Israel has plenty of enemies around the world, he has already said, here). But to the partial transcript:
Baer: It's undoubtedly the Israelis, it couldn't be anyone else. The Israelis as far as I can see are trying to provoke the Iranians into doing something.
Matthews: We are vulnerable over there. We have an American who has just been condemned to death for espionage.
Baer: What we're seeing is an escalation, Chris, and it's almost as if the intention is to get the Iranians to fire a missile at an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, which would cause a wider war.
Matthews: Why would that help us?
Baer: It wouldn't help us, it would help them… because the Israelis would force us into hitting the Iranians, hit them back, and that's exactly what they want.
Matthews (with virginal voice): Oh so it's the Israelis forcing us into this….
Engel: Incredibly hard sanctions on Iran [have the country] backed into a corner. If you want to hit Iran and you need a pretext to do that…the way to do that is by forcing your adversary into making some kind of aggressive move and everyone will think you're correct when you respond by force….
Matthews: This is moving toward creating a pretext for an eventual attack on nuclear facilities?
Baer: Oh absolutely… This is speculation… I know the White House doesn't want a war with Iran. But we see from all quarters, this pressure, this logic of war that keeps on marching forward… The Iranians [Baer means Israelis] look at it this way. They have a year or two [in which to act]… They can't be seen to be initiating this. So they keep on assassinating the people in Iran, you will get a reaction out of them that will look stupid… then the rest of the world will say, you know there's nothing else we could have done, except hit the Israelis [he means Iranians]….
Engel: The Israelis can't be seen, or it's very difficult for them to be seen, as drawing first blood… Killing a 32 year old scientist who worked in procurement is not going to stop the program… They've so far killed five people…
Matthews: How can the U.S. not see this as adversarial by Israel to try and hook us into a war? If that's seen to manipulate that into a war we don't want to get into, how can we not see that as from an ally, hostile? … Bob, you're saying that Israel is trying to provoke the Iranians into attacking.
Baer: If we're attacked, it gives Israelis and the Americans, it puts us on the same side to hit the Iranians. They need our Air Force.
Matthews. We're going to be hearing about this from now to election day. I just read Elliott Abrams in the Wall Street Journal. All the politics are on the table now. It's all involved in politics and not just the survival of Israel down the road.
Common Dreams notes that Robert Baer, the long-time senior CIA officer who spent 21 years working the Middle East, made the same case to the Guardian:
Baer argues that the impact on the nuclear program itself is likely to be so minimal, it is unlikely to be the aim of the murder campaign.
"It's a provocation," he says. "My theory is that Israel couldn't get the White House to agree to bombing. It is not satisfied with sanctions, so the Israelis are trying to provoke the Iranians into launching a missile and starting a war."


text: Law School Futures |Ian HollowayIn defence of the LSATLaw School Futures March 27, 2017 Ian Holloway "A new era has dawned for prospective law students." So began a piece the other day in the Fulcrum, the University of Ottawa law student newspaper. What the author was referring to was the recent announcement by Harvard Law School that it would accept the Graduate Record Examination in lieu of the Law School Admission Test as the basis of an application for admission to the JD program. The Harvard announcement led to a flurry of commentary, but what the commentators had in common was a belief that the LSAT was an instrument of elitism and that it getting its comeuppance was a jolly good thing. Some more measured criticism, written from a Canadian perspective, came from Toronto lawyer Heather Douglas in a piece on SLAW . She wrote that "[t]he LSAT has nothing to do with what is taught in law school, features questions that favour students of certain socio-economic backgrounds, and caters to Americans over Canadians." In the interests of full disclosure, let me note that I have been a trustee of the Law School Admission Council — the folks who "own" the LSAT — for eight years now. Indeed, I was the very first non-American ever to be elected a trustee. And I currently am completing my last three months with the LSAC by serving as secretary of the board. So I am about as inside baseball as an insider could be. Digitio ad designandum me. Nonetheless, I think that my vantage point as a foreigner involved in the governance of a test that remains statistically overwhelmingly American gives me a perspective that perhaps is unique for a Canadian. The first thing that I'd acknowledge — as would everyone associated with the LSAT — is that it's neither perfect nor all-encompassing. But it has never claimed to be. It does not probe for emotional intelligence or resilience or the willingness to delay gratification or any of the other qualities that lawyers need to thrive in our profession. Yet it tests more thoroughly than anything else that has been devised so far the ability to work logically through problems. And to the extent that logical reasoning is still considered to be a sine qua non of a lawyer's professional makeup, then that's surely a good thing. Before 1949, when the LSAT was first administered, one's ability to get into a top law school in the U.S. depended more than anything on pedigree. If one had gone to the right prep schools and then the right colleges, and if one had rushed the right fraternities (and if, of course, one's father had the right connections), then attending Harvard or other "elite" schools was a realistic possibility. But if one was from Idaho or Kansas or North Dakota, one had almost as good a chance of winning the lottery as breaking into the Ivy League for law. This is what led the admission directors at the northeastern schools to propose the development of the LSAT — as a means of increasing access. That's why it seems paradoxical now that it should be accused of being an instrument of the opposite. We in English Canada didn't adopt the LSAT until the 1970s. In fact, as late as the early '80s, UNB still didn't require it for applicants from New Brunswick. Instead, we accepted massive (things being relative, of course) first-year students and then failed a significant proportion of them. At Western University, for example, there were three classrooms in the original law school building. Each became progressively smaller in size by about 25 per cent. So — literally! — survival to graduation was a game of musical chairs. The bottom tranche of the class was removed, no matter how well the students had done in absolute terms. It's true it was easier to be admitted, but it's hard to see how anyone would think that was somehow a less elitist, more inclusive approach to legal education.We should not overlook the other benefits the current system provides. Each year, for example, the LSAC holds a series of recruitment forums across North America, one of which is in Canada. The forums give applicants a chance to meet with several law schools in one fell swoop — which would be a prohibitively expensive thing to do if the applicants had to travel hither and yon. At the Canadian forum, we typically have almost 100 law schools, which gives would-be law students access to the admissions directors (and in one case, a dean) in the flesh. The LSAC also provides an annual professional development conference for admissions professionals, which they can attend at no cost to themselves or to their schools. And as far as diversity and inclusion goes, the LSAC provides free analytical tools (which no Canadian school has yet chosen to use) that are far more sophisticated than anything any Canadian university has. Oh — they're free, too.(And speaking of inclusiveness, one should note the GRE actually costs more to write than the LSAT.) The real problem with the LSAT isn't the test itself. It's how the test has come to be used by U.S. law schools. It is one of the rich ironies of history that the U.S., a country founded upon republican principles, should have become so hierarchical and status-conscious, while Canada, which remains a monarchy, should be so relatively egalitarian. But however we did it, we somehow managed to dodge the bullet of law school rankings. Maclean's did its best to introduce them (and, to compound the irony, engaged an American to design the system), but — blessedly — they never seemed to take. We use the LSAT as it is intended to be used — as a tool. As my colleague, Jeremy Webber, the dean at the University of Victoria, put it in a recent article, "I think it's fair to say that many [Canadian] schools have sought to expand the extent to which the whole background of the person is taken into account." Relying on numbers alone provides too narrow a means of assessment. Lorne Sossin, Osgoode Hall Law School's dean, noted in the same article that Canadian law schools are "moving away from a more formulaic approach … and toward a more holistic assessment." The value of the LSAT was that it gives comparative dimension to that whole-person evaluation. At Calgary each year, we reject students who are admitted to several other schools and we admit students who are admitted to none. And I'm sure that happens in every school in Canada. The problem in the U.S. is that LSAT scores (specifically the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles) have become one of the principal engines driving the rankings game. Any way that a school has to game that — by, say, having a proportion of the student body who mightn't do well on the LSAT not actually write the LSAT — then that's golden. That's the dirty little secret here. This isn't the case with Harvard — for Harvard is Harvard, after all — but all of the other, lower-ranked schools who are considering allowing the GRE in lieu of the LSAT are doing so in significant measure as a means of boosting, or at least protecting, their ranking. That may not be the only reason, and they may dress it up in other clothing, but one would have to be willfully blind not to know that's the game being played.Here's the rub, though: If and when — and given the money to be made from the rankings industry, one assumes that's it's going to be "when" — US News & World Report, the ranker in chief of U.S. law schools, starts incorporating GRE scores into its methodology, then all that is "bad" about the LSAT will come to be replicated. Given the dynamics at play in American legal education, that's going to happen as sure as night follows day. It's the dawning of a new era, indeed.

Microsoft's voice operated personal assistant could be featured on Windows Phone 8.1, under the name of Cortana.
Cortana, named after the artificial intelligence character in the Halo games, is the codename of Microsoft's answer to Siri. According to sources of The Verge, this name might not be used on launch but is what it's going by during production.
READ: Nokia phone codenamed Martini could be unveiled soon
Cortana will appear as a circular animated icon that changes when it's speaking or thinking. The voice-activated assistant will use services sucH as Bing and Foursquare to give it contextual awareness like Google Now. It will also be able to store a user's data in its Notebook to help make future searches more accurate. It will even speak to a user by name, or a nickname, if that option is selected.
Cortana is expected to be unveiled by Microsoft at its upcoming Build conference where a developer preview of Windows Phone 8.1 should be released.

As trusted Menlo Park dementia caregivers, we see all too often those with dementia or Alzheimer's being medicated so that they won't 'act out' or being given medications to make them relax and sleep. Dealing with memory loss is difficult for family members, or anyone who cares for an aging loved one with a memory problem. One moment they may know you, the next minute, maybe not. It's extremely sad, however it's often the familiar that helps calm and comfort those with dementia and similar issues.
When someone with dementia lives in a nursing home, the symptoms can worsen dramatically. Why is this? Much of the cause of dementia, moving into advanced stages, is unfamiliar surroundings. In a nursing home environment, those who are elderly are often frightened and disoriented. They have nothing to connect to their family, their past – their lives. Of course, the best solution is for those with dementia to remain in their own homes when possible, with help from family members and compassionate caregivers. However, when this isn't possible, create a 'memory box' containing items that can help comfort, and reduce anxiety or sadness. Some of these items may include:
- Family photos
- Favorite books
- Baby shoes
- Any sentimental reminders of their past
At Care Indeed, we realize there are situations in which it is simply no longer possible for a loved one suffering from memory loss issues to live at home. However, when it is possible, living in familiar, comforting surroundings is absolutely the best way to help loved ones feel calmed and even happier, as their homes are literally filled with triggers that can spark conversation and bring back comforting memories, even if just for a moment. Loved ones are less disoriented, and often able to recognize items such as clothes, shoes, favorite books, even old relics from long ago.
If your loved one lives in a nursing home, try putting together a memory box and sitting quietly by as he/she discovers what you have put together. You may be amazed at the calming and comforting power of a few mementos from your loved one's past!
Need an in-home caregiver you can trust to care for your aging family member when you simply cannot be there? At Care Indeed, we provide a wide array of home care services for seniors and those who are disabled. Give us a call today, and learn why we are one of the most trusted facilities serving the Menlo Park area.

Offered a position as research coordinator
Hello all,
I have about 1.5 years experience working in the ED, with about 10 months as an RN. I was recently offered a position in Emergency Medicine Research as a Research Coordinator. The research director assured me that nurses are extremely capable of acting as research coordinators because it is all about communication, which we are innately good at. I'm still nervous, though.
I will be transitioned into my new role by the outgoing CRC in January, so I don't feel like I am going to be thrown to the wolves. But I am hoping that other research nurses can help me get an idea of what to expect in this position.
The current studies include asthma, COPD, and a-fib presentations in ED and whether PCP followup can reduce them.
Is there anything you could share that would help me get a better idea of your day-to-day work routine, what you are responsible for, and how you know if you are doing a good job?
Thank you!

Do you mind me asking where are you located? I never knew there was such a position.Dec 28, '12Thanks, I will be working for a major Canadian university. I found the job through their website. If you are looking for a similar opportunity, I would suggest looking to see what centers are doing emergency med research in your area and following up from thereJan 22, '13As a follow-up to my original post, I have been working in this position for about a week and a half, getting oriented to the role of CRC. So far I really like it - but WOW, is there ever a lot of paperwork on my desk (and I'm not even running a study yet!)
Thus far, my day usually goes as follows:
- Start work at 0800, check my email and the communication binder
- Keep an eye on patients currently in the ED and decide from their demographics and triage notes whether they might be eligible for a study
- Round on the unit, liaise with MDs and nurses, encourage everyone to page me if they have a suitable patient
- Find a suitable patient, explain the study, get consent, and enrol them
- Photocopy, photocopy, fax, email, and photocopy some more
- Complete clinical interventions on research patients as needed (administer study drugs, etc)
- Complete paperwork and study follow-ups in person, by phone, and by looking up the patient's EMR
Definitely NOT what I expected, but then I didn't really have any expectations. It is worlds away from being a staff nurse. I almost feel bad that I am paid the same as I was being an emerg nurse. Hour long lunch breaks and out on time every day, what??Feb 9, '13@equestriRN: Sounds great! Does the university that you work for - do they send you to several different hospitals? Do you have a bachelors degree?
