Shailene & Chloe
Both Shailene Woodley and Chloe Moretz were at the NBR Awards last night. Shailene, once again, went easy on the makeup, chose a simple, appropriate dress, with pockets for comfort, not wafting a pungent trail of Famewhore wherever she went. She's lovely and I hope she stays that way.
And then we come to Chloe Moretz. Is it unkind to criticise a 14 year old? (She is still 14, right? I'm writing in a cab, can't check.) Well, I'm not criticising a 14 year old who spent her Tuesday night at home, doing 14 year old things.
Chloe Moretz goes out an awful lot in New York. She goes to the kind of parties where she's the only 14 year old, oftentimes the only teen year old. And it's not exactly a crowd of evangelists either. These are fashion and society and celebrity events. Where there is access to situations and substances that certainly aren't appropriate sometimes for a 40 year old, let alone a 14 year old.
Drew Barrymore first snorted cocaine when she was 13. Corey Haim around the same. Not beside a dumpster in Venice Beach, but at a fancy Hollywood party. Which is where we find Chloe Moretz. And often.
No, no. It doesn't happen to all of them. Not all of them are Lohans. But this girl...look at this girl. This girl is in such a hurry. This girl, she can't wait. She's already 25.

The Texans failed to score a touchdown Sunday, falling to the Ravens 30-9. It was not a good day at the office.
Five things we learned:
1. Gary Konserviak
Don't tell me about the tackles were up against it because Duane Brown didn't play, or that Matt Schaub can't deal with pressure, or that the Ravens' defense played well. The Texans' play calling inside Ravens' territory was lousy. Period. Yes, three points is better than none, but when you get teams on their heels you have to at least threaten (if not attack) them in the end zone. Instead of taking control of the game early, Houston kept Baltimore in it by settling for field goals. The Texans are one of the few teams in the league that will have a first-and-goal from the 8 and not only run on first down, but never attempt a pass into the end zone. The run lost a yard, then the Texans threw passes on second and third downs and I don't think they even had a receiver in the end zone on either play. If they did, he wasn't the first option. That kind of weak play calling will get you beat. Later in the quarter, the Texans took over at the Ravens' 29, then after a penalty had a first-and-5 at the 24. Three running plays, followed by a pass for a loss of a yard on third down setup another short field goal. Not Kubiak's finest work off his play menu. And, for now, I'll just ignore the hurry-up-and-go-nowhere offense that used four minutes of clock to travel all of 16 yards in the fourth quarter. It's as if Kubiak didn't know the score.
2. Penalties kill
Undisciplined and overmatched teams usually commit a bunch of penalties. The Texans were not overmatched Sunday, but they were undisciplined. Some of the penalties – taunting, neutral zone infractions, roughing the passer, etc. – were inexcusable. Perhaps the defense was trying to hard to make up for the offense's ineptitude, but if this was going to be a defensive battle, Houston lost it by making life easier on the Ravens with 14 penalties for 113 yards. At the half, the Ravens had 65 yards of offense, while the Texans had 66 yards in penalties. Baltimore had a bunch of penalties too (10 for 87 yards), but a home team that commits no turnovers, scores on an interception return and a punt return can get away with that.
3. Matt Schaub needs to learn how to tackle.
Kubiak's warning to his team last week was that it needed to "play clean." Obviously that didn't take, as Schaub had another awful interception, misfiring over the middle in the direction of Owen Daniels. Middle linebacker Daryl Smith grabbed the throw and rambled into the end zone with a 37-yard return. It as the second consecutive week that Schaub throw was taken to the house by a defender. Yes, he needs to start working on tackling.
4. Special teams coverage is still an issue.
Joe Marciano survived the offseason, but was given some coaching help with a special teams assistant. Guess he needs some more help, as the Tandon Doss ran through the Texans for an 82-yard touchdown on a punt return in the second quarter. The Texans were last in special teams a year ago, but their coverage issue has been hidden by the spectacular punts and kickoffs by Shane Lechler and Randy Bullock. That issue came back to light in a huge way today.
5. Shane Lechler is the Texans' best offensive weapon.
Hold up. Did I really just type that? FYI: Lechler is the punter. Do I really need to explain why this is a problem?

Doubleheaders are scheduled immediately following the dedications of Boeve Baseball Stadium and Wolters Softball Stadium.
The dedication ceremonies will begin at 12:45 p.m., first at Boeve Stadium and then at Wolters Stadium. The Flying Dutchmen baseball team will then play Kalamazoo College while the Flying Dutch will take on Alma College. A complimentary picnic will be served those attending the festivities.

Boeve Baseball Stadium honors Ron and Sunny Boeve. Ron started as a volunteer assistant baseball coach in the early 1980s under now President James Bultman and has continued to serve under three coaches, including current head coach Stu Fritz. Sunny has been a faithful attendee at Hope baseball games, home and away, keeping her own scorebook for hundreds of contests.
Ron was a standout Hope baseball player, winning recognition that included being chosen by his teammates as Hope's most valuable player and selection to the All-MIAA team twice as a catcher.

Sunny was active in the Women's League for HopeCollege for many years and involved with the Reformed Church Women. Together they were presented the Hope College Meritorious Service Award in 1994.
The stadium projects included the installation of permanent stands for fans, new press boxes and dugouts. Fans have an unobstructed view of the playing fields. The softball seating accommodates approximately 250 fans and baseball has seating for about 300. Each area has a patio suitable for tailgating.

CHARACTER REWARDS Program Sparks Record Number of Fan Registrations to Engage and Win
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – September 23, 2010 – USA Network today revealed that its digital incentive program, CHARACTER REWARDS, has vastly exceeded expectations just one month after launch thanks to the loyal fan base of the network's hit series, PSYCH (www.clubpsych.com). The program, which was launched in late July featuring CLUB PSYCH as its first show-centric loyalty destination, rewards fans for engaging in online activities, such as watching videos, sharing content, and reposting on Facebook and Twitter feeds. CHARACTER REWARDS provides users points when they complete specific challenges and in return they can redeem the points for both tangible (e.g. show-branded merchandise) and virtual goods. Since its launch, CLUB PYSCH has amassed more than 30,000 registered users (over half joining in the first month), and accounts for a 30% lift in overall site traffic to the PSYCH vertical, announced Jesse Redniss, vice president, digital, USA Network.
"In developing the program, we wanted to provide something to our fans for their unwavering loyalty to USA's originals," said Redniss. "Through CLUB PSYCH – the first initiative of its kind – we've seen our fans go from enthusiastic to rabid online evangelists or self-described "PSYCHOS", spreading the word for Psych offerings and encouraging others to participate. You can't ask for a stronger metric for success than this type of overwhelming fan engagement."
CLUB PSYCH is the first of several show-specific CHARACTER REWARDS initiatives USA plans to launch this year. The massive response from its online brand ambassadors and super PSYCH fans proves the program to be a successful model for the network. The fans are speaking out about their appreciation and excitement for this type of program from USA:
"Thanks so much! I love you and Psych so much! I've been totally obsessed with CLUB PSYCH since it started. No lie, I found a hotel with WiFi and brought my laptop along so I could get all my games played and videos watched before heading out to get my hair/makeup/pics for my brother's wedding in Chicago a couple of weeks ago," said one enthusiastic fan who managed to rack up more than 130,000 points to obtain a signed PSYCH poster from Comic-Con.
What other fans are saying:
- Kim: So awesome that you guys are giving away tons of merch just for playing the Psych games. I almost couldn't believe it when I heard about it, but I've already got three boxed sets and a tee shirt! So, thank you! Hope you restock again soon. 😉
- Debra: I love Club Psych! I've used the games page to get my little brother and sister interested in Psych, too! 😀
- Julia: glad to hear we can get real psych merchandise with our club points…great deal guys! thanks!!!
New merchandise is being added by the network, along with the promise of merchandise that's non-show specific, such as gift cards to major retailers, consumer electronics and more.
To get involved in CLUB PYSCH, fans are required to register for the loyalty program through the USA Network site or by using their Facebook Connect access. Fans can also track their progress and see how they compare with other CLUB PSYCH members through a leader-board housed on the main hub of psych.usanetwork.com.
PSYCH is one of the seven original series that made USA #1 in basic cable for four years in a row and broke all records as the #1 original series premiere in 2006. This fan favorite stars James Roday as police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute the precinct detectives think he's psychic.

Support to the conservation and management of natural resources in arid and semi-arid lands
Although the situation is highly heterogeneous, globally, most of the area of North African and eastern Mediterranean countries is occupied by arid and semiarid zones highly vulnerable to major constraints for development of agriculture. Unsustainable use of agricultural and livestock resources in these areas has a direct impact on the environment (desertification process irreversible degradation of soil and its ecosystem) and the standard of living of the rural population, with a human desertification process, with population exodus to big cities, coastal areas and outside the country.
There has been an important historical development in these countries of traditional knowledge that has been used since antiquity for preventing and combating land degradation and controlling desertification processes and socio-economic derivatives. At present, people are suffering the effects of desertification and climate change, supporting significant economic losses and poverty. The current governance structures and mechanisms are one of the main causes that increase both the degradation of the ecosystem and the livelihood insecurity.
IUCN-Med's role
Arid zones and safety is a priority within the IUCN Programme, where previous work at regional level has been implemented. With the new global challenges - climate change, food security issues, migration ... - affecting the Mediterranean countries, IUCN - along with its members and partners - has broadened the scope of this work to provide tools and solutions to help reduce its effects, especially by linking conservation with economic development and social welfare.
Objectives and results
This action programme is divided into four projects with different outcomes:
P1: Planning of uses and management practices of natural resources in semi-arid areas of North Africa, creating benefits to sustainable development and local communities' livelihoods. Main outcomes:
- The agro-pastoral practices assessed and valued to ensure security and food self-sufficiency of local communities.
- Local communities benefit from ecosystem services, ensuring proper maintenance of its operation.
- Sustainable management practices of semi-arid ecosystems in Algeria and Tunisia are agreed and the market for their products is reinforced and expanded.
P2: Analysis of the impacts, conservation and ecological restoration methods of coastal sand dunes systems in Algeria. Main outcomes:
- Solutions to reverse the impacts and recover important dune systems in Algeria are agreed by main actors concerned.
- Approaches and methodologies for the conservation and restoration of dune systems are developed based on similar Spanish experiences.
- A pilot ecological restoration of the dunes in a pilot area has been launched.
- Experts in forest management, research centers, NGOs and local people have been trained in best restoration practices and management of dune systems.
- The Spanish experience and lessons from the field in Algeria transferred to other countries of North Africa.
P3: Integration of biodiversity and energy efficiency aspects in the tourist sector in North Africa, with contribution to sustainable development of local communities. Main outcomes:
- Actions with tourism stakeholders in the region and implementation of available tools: IUCN and WWF guides and analysis of impacts / European Charter of Sustainable Tourism.
- The concept of biodiversity and sustainable tourism is integrated with tourist practices.
- The local communities near projects sites benefit from the economic rewards of the industry and are able to maintain biodiversity sustainably.
P4: Young professionals' empowerment for the promotion of sustainable development in the Mediterranean. Main outcomes:
- Young people in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean acquire the necessary knowledge and tools to act against the challenges of conservation in the region.
- Innovation and enthusiasm are promoted among young leaders to ensure sustainable conservation solutions for the region.
- Young leaders have an opportunity to express their concerns and views regarding conservation and sustainable development.
Target Partners
- IUCN members in North Africa and the Mediterranean.
- Regional organizations: UNESCO.
- National Institutions: Commissariat National du Littoral and General Directorate of forests in Algeria, Moroccan High Commission of Water and Forests and Desertification, Ministry of Environment and Agriculture of Tunisia
- NGOs: Association Ecologique de Boumerdes (AEB), Association Tunisienne de Développement Durable et de Protection de la Faune Sauvage, Mohamned VI Foundation for the protection of the Environment (FM6E)
- IUCN Commissions and programmes: Environmental Law Programme, IUCN Regional Office for West Asia.
- Relevant private sector companies.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs- Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development (AECID).
Duration and budget
Started January 2010
The duration of each component of the programme varies depending on the project.
Total budget: 469.900 €
For more information: [email protected]
IUCN-Med receives core financial support from the Ministry of Environment of the Junta de Andalucia, the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) among others.

A freak for fitness, I decided the other day to concentrate on what trainers call the "core muscle groups," the very struts of the human body. In my case, the core muscles are the tongue and the schnitzel. The schnitzel is unfamiliar to many folks, but it's a sister muscle to the hamstring. Twisty like ship rope, the schnitzel runs from the back of the tongue to a spot just under my computer desk. I'm typing with it now, in fact.
So what I've been doing every morning is to work my core muscles — my tongue and my schnitzel — then replenish my fluids later in the day with that popular new heart medication, a glass or two of red wine.
The wine we like tends to suds up when poured, producing what appears to be its own beer head.
I think the bubbles come from dishwasher soap, a sign that our wine glasses need to be handled more carefully. Like laboratory beakers and rose queens, they should be pristine.
"Maybe I should wash them by hand," I say.
"You do that, champ," says my wife, Posh, a little too dismissively.
Anyway, Posh thinks the suds are a natural byproduct of the wine itself. She also worries that my lowbrow understanding of wines will one day get us evicted from California for not being cool enough. In particular, she objects to me intentionally looking at wine lists upside down, then sniffing to the waiter, "Never heard of any of these."
Getting evicted from California doesn't worry me so much — I've been thrown out of worse places — though I am still troubled by what happened here the other night at something called the American Music Awards.
In case you missed it, this singer known as JLo came out on stage in one of those tiny new Fiats, which barely fit her core muscle group, her famously Euclidean tush.
By coincidence, this Fiat happens to be the same car Jennifer Lopez drives in commercials. It was — to that moment anyway, several days have since passed — a low point in the commercialization of American music.
We had friends over, and there was an audible gasp in the room that a pop singer could be so promotionally naked, which coincided with the physical nakedness, for during her dance number, they tore away part of her outfit, leaving her wearing only a sprinkling of sequins. As the parent of any teenager will tell you, a sprinkling of sequins is not appropriate attire for national television.
If, for example, I wore only sequins out to get doughnuts on a Saturday morning, I would be immediately arrested. Worse yet, if I happened to make it all the way to the doughnut shop, they would not serve me doughnuts.
This is what America has come to. You can go on national television wearing less than you were born in and be perfectly fine, but if you tried the same artistic self-expression while out buying doughnuts, you would be quickly incarcerated.
Fortunately, JLo's music was really, really interesting.
Let me describe it for you now: You know the screech produced by a cat when you accidentally suck up its tail in the vacuum? This was louder than that and much more distinct — surgical in its sharpness and dangerous to human flesh. I would only describe it as "frackin'."
While she sang, this JLo was surrounded by dancers who looked to be attempting to eat their own privates, as lights flashed wickedly across the stage in what I assume was a mash-up of popular music and video games.
There on the couch, my schnitzel throbbed.
"More wine!" I yelled.
"Shhhhhh," someone said.
"She really," my buddy groaned, "drove on stage in a Fiat?"
I could not quite decipher her lyrics, but I assume they dealt with the injustices of life and how difficult it is to get your core muscle group into one of those tiny new Fiats.
Also, there had to be a certain amount of angst in driving a new Fiat, knowing, as everybody does, that in the old days, Fiats would just spontaneously decompose. You would just be driving down the highway and a door would rust off, followed by a wheel.
So, yes, I am bound to get kicked out of California at any moment. When people ask me why, I will explain that music awards shows drove me away. For the record, I'm not so hot on digital holiday cards or 3D movies either.
I will miss California, especially these sun-splashed days after big storms, when the aspen quiver and the mountains are clear as tonic.
Without storms, there would be no days like this. Without bad times, there would be no good ones to follow.
And without JLo, there would be no one driving on stage in Fiats.

(Reuters) - Panama's slim hopes of reaching next year's World Cup received a boost on Saturday when United States coach Juergen Klinsmann said he would sit out top scorer Landon Donovan for the final game of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament.
The U.S., who have already clinched top spot in the six nation CONCACAF standings and booked their ticket to Brazil, will rest Donovan, his country's all-time leading scorer, with a sore ankle while midfielder Jermaine Jones will miss Tuesday's game in Panama with a knee injury.
Everton keeper Tim Howard and Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler also have left the team as part of a planned rotation of players.
"Landon is still struggling with the ankle injury from a couple weeks ago, so he will go back to Los Angeles and try to get back to 100 percent," said Klinsmann in a statement. "Jermaine's case is more of a concern. His knee was bothering him all night but he battled through.
"It's clear that the issue with his knee is something that should be taken care of right away so he can be 100 percent for Schalke and the national team as soon as possible."
All this is good news for Panama which sits fifth, three points back of fourth place Mexico, which is also fighting for automatic qualification.
The top three CONCACAF teams qualify automatically for the World Cup finals with the fourth advancing to a two-leg playoff against Oceania winners New Zealand.
To nudge into fourth spot Panama, would need a multi-goal win against the U.S. and a Mexico loss, or a single-goal victory and a Mexico loss in which they scored fewer than four goals.

The popularity of online degree programs continues to grow, but some people still hesitate to enroll. Don't let one of these myths about online education stop you from getting a degree.
1. Online Courses are Easier
Online courses may give you more flexibility than traditional classes, but they require just as much work. Like brick-and-mortar institutions, the quality of classes varies between online degree programs. Since much of the work with online courses is completed independently, students need to be disciplined.
Some online institutions offer accelerated programs, but most institutions let you work at your own pace. Earning an online degree may take more time than a traditional degree.
2. There's No Personal Attention and Communication with Other Students
Many online institutions go to great lengths to make their programs more personal. Some programs use discussion forums, weekly conference calls, and academic and career counselors to let their students know that they are not isolated at their computer screen. Students usually get personalized feedback from their professors. Like any educational environment, students must make an effort to work closely with their professors.
3. Online Schools Aren't As Good
Like all schools, the quality of online education varies from institution to institution. You can earn a degree online from a well-regarded school like Harvard University or enroll in a lesser-known program that may not be as challenging -- or it could be more challenging and not as well-known (or expensive). To judge the quality of an online program, see what support services are available, ask if you can take a sample class, and talk to other students and professors.
4. Online Schools Are Cheaper
Online schools aren't always cheaper. Some online schools can cost a lot more than traditional colleges, depending on the schools and what you are comparing. Do your own research and compare the online schools to traditional schools that are considering applying to.
5. Employers Don't Take Online Degrees Seriously
Online degrees are becoming more accepted as equal to traditional degrees. Earning an online degree can also show employers that you are motivated and disciplined to work. Online programs have gone from a novel new way to get a degree to a common education program.
6. You Must be a Computer Whiz to Take Online Courses
While you must have a basic understanding of how to work a computer to get started with online courses, you don't need to be a tech prodigy to succeed. Most online institutions realize that students may not initially have a lot of technical know-how and offer support to make taking courses online less intimidating. From tech support hotlines to introductory computer courses, check out what technical support services an online institution offers.
7. You'll Never Set Foot on a College Campus
Many online learners complete their degrees without ever setting foot on a brick-and-mortar college campus, but others choose to combine campus and online courses.
Online courses can help busy students at traditional colleges add more flexibility to their schedules. Students who attend online courses at traditional colleges usually have the same access to campus resources as students on campus.

Projects in Lieu of Theses
In 2009, a subcommittee of the Electronic Theses and Dissertations Committee met with faculty and staff from the advising offices and libraries that support the College of Fine Arts and the College of Design, Construction and Planning. The subcommittee addressed the need to fill the gap in digitization of terminal projects in programs within these colleges. Because these students produce projects rather than standard theses, they fell outside the normal processing of the Graduate Editorial Office, the body responsible for current electronic theses and dissertations. In an effort to better serve this segment of the student population on behalf of the libraries, University of Florida Digital Collections began to accept copies of these projects for inclusion in the Institutional Repository in Spring 2009.
If you are a graduate student currently preparing a terminal project for inclusion in University of Florida Digital Collections, technical requirements are listed below. Likewise, if you graduated from a program that required a terminal project in lieu of a thesis and you would like your work included in this collection, we are happy to assist. The same permissions and technical guidelines apply to projects previously published, even if bound and kept in the library's physical collections. If you have additional questions, please contact us.
Submission Help for Projects in Lieu of Theses
For materials to be processed into the University of Florida Digital Collections, all program requirements apply as well as several technical requirements listed below. Please note that non-project theses and dissertations go through the Graduate Editorial Office and are submitted electronically through an alternate process. Requirements for projects-in-lieu-of to be processed into the University of Florida Digital Collections:
- Project-in-lieu-of must be turned into the graduate advisor for the department.
- Project-in-lieu-of must be turned in with a signed Internet Distribution Permissions form. All materials submitted to the University of Florida Digital Collections and the Institutional Repository are completely Open Access.
- If copyrighted materials are included, the project-in-lieu-of must be turned in with a signed letter of permission to quote or reproduce copyrighted material. Or it must include a list of materials for which copyright permissions were not granted so that the Digital Library Center can ensure that those materials are not included with the online files.
- File formats should conform to the acceptable ETD formats list.
- Recommended: please turn in all files for the project on CD or DVD. If you are turning your project in on paper, please use non-glossy paper to make the scanning more accurate if possible. For paper-only submissions, please follow the binding guidelines (architecture and music).
Printable guide: draft one page handout
Questions: Please contact your departmental advisor or the UF Digital Collections with any questions.

6 Best Instagram Alternatives
The news that Facebook bought Instagram for a whopping $1 billion certainly provoked a strong reaction—and it's not so much surprise as displeasure that's echoing throughout Twitter and the blogosphere. After all, Instagram is the grassroots David—with just 13 employees—to Facebook's Goliath (with 2,000+ people on its payroll).
In addition to privacy concerns, some users of the ultra-popular photo app have voiced fears that their beloved Instagram will become a completely different app under Zuckerberg et. al. If you're part of this crowd, you may be in search of another app for all your photo-sharing needs. Luckily, there are plenty of Instagram alternatives to choose from, including some near-identical apps and a number of unique ones as well.

SALEM – State Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo announced today that Oregon's statewide dropout rate for the 2007-08 school year was 3.7%, down from 4.2% last year. The 3.7% dropout rate is the lowest since statewide reporting began in 1991. Oregon defines a high school dropout as a student in grades 9-12 who withdraws from school for example without receiving a high school diploma, GED, modified diploma, or transferring to another school.
"In order to be successful in the 21st Century, it is vital that our students graduate from high school," Castillo said. "This report is good news for students, parents, schools, and communities and demonstrates that our efforts to reduce dropout rates and increase graduation rates are starting to pay off. We must continue to build on the proven strategies and interventions we know are critical to keeping students in school and on track to graduate."
Increased educational opportunities and prevention programs offering more support for at-risk students and more accurate statewide data have contributed to the decline in dropouts.
2007-08 Dropout Rates and (decrease from prior year) by ethnicity:
White 3.0% (-0.5)
Asian 2.6% (-0.4)
African American 7.0% (-0.1)
Hispanic 6.4% (-1.2)
Native American 5.8% (-0.7)
Total 3.7% (-0.5)
These decreases are significant for the Hispanic and Native American populations where the dropout rate decreased 1.2 and 0.7 percentage points respectively. These decreases were greater than the majority white population decrease of 0.5 percentage points which reflects Oregon's priority to close the achievement gap that separates disadvantaged populations from their peers. A decade ago, the statewide dropout rate stood at 7% and the Hispanic rate was about 18%. The African American rate was nearly 12% and the Native American rate about 10%.

"Many of our schools have been sharply focused on using data to improve and target instruction for their disadvantaged students. These efforts prove that we can produce more equitable outcomes for our students when we focus on implementing strategies to close the achievement gap," said Castillo. "This news comes at a time of incredible opportunity to build on our efforts with the federal funding from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. These funds can be targeted to strengthen our support for at-risk students in danger of failing or dropping out."
The 2007-08 graduation rate increased from 81.4% for 2006-07 to 84.0% for 2007-08 with most of the gain coming from minority student sub-groups, especially Hispanic and Native American:
2007-08 Graduation Rates and (increase from prior year) by ethnicity:
White 87.2% (+2.4)
Asian 89.3% (+2.1)
African American 68.5% (+0.4)
Hispanic 70.5% (+6.1)
Native American 75.5% (+3.8)
Total 84.0% (+2.6)
"The Oregon Diploma is an important initiative underway in our schools to help reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation rate," said Castillo. A key component of the Oregon Diploma is identifying those students who need help early and beginning to engage them with targeted instruction and support."
"These graduation requirements are tied directly to student interest and aspiration through the personal plan and profile, making high school more relevant. Students see that staying in school and working hard to finish has meaning in their future. The new requirements also allow more flexibility in how students work through high school. In addition, they have more opportunities to explore career options that will help them develop a vision and pathway for their future, said Castillo."
Graduation rate calculations are based on the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) formula approved by the U.S. Department of Education: divide the number of graduates with a regular diploma in the school year by the sum of the number of graduates with a regular diploma plus the number of students who dropped out from all grades 9-12 that year.
Consistent with federal Title I requirements, starting with the 2009-2010 school year, ODE will be adopting a Cohort Graduation Rate which considers students with a GED as non-graduates. This change will reduce the graduation rate by about 3.5 points. Additional differences such as not counting graduates who need more than 4 years in high school could reduce the rate by another 6.5 points.
Summary of 2007-08 Graduation and Dropout Rates
As required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act, Oregon now provides dropout and graduation rates by Gender, Economically Disadvantaged, Limited English Proficient, Special Education, and Talented & Gifted (TAG). Click on link to see these rates:

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Obtains $60,000 for Latina Cooks at Paragary's Gold River Restaurant
SACRAMENTO — Sacramento restaurant group Paramoor, Inc., will pay $60,000 and provide remedial relief to settle an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that Paramoor allowed the sexual harassment of two line cooks at the former Paragary's Gold River Bar & Oven (which has since been sold, operating under new ownership and a new name).
According to the EEOC's suit, the kitchen manager and a co-worker sexually harassed Leticia Fernandez and Juana Jimenez. The harassment included lewd comments and gestures, questions about their personal sex lives, propositions, and slapping on their buttocks. When the women asked for the harassment to stop, Paramoor failed to adequately investigate or remedy the illegal harassment, the agency said.
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed the suit (EEOC v. Paragary's Restaurant Group, et al., EDCA 2:05-cv-01983 MCE-DAD) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
"The harassment had a deep impact on me -- I didn't feel safe at work," said Fernandez. "I hope the changes that the company has agreed to will help prevent this kind of situation in the future."
Jimenez added, "We are glad that the EEOC pursued our case. They stood up for our right to work free from sexual harassment."
Under the consent decree settling the suit, Paramoor denied culpability but agreed to pay $60,000 to the two women. The restaurant group, which owns 12 restaurants and bars in and around Sacramento, will also provide sexual harassment training for its supervisors and human resources manager, and will revise its policies and procedures for handling sexual harassment complaints.
EEOC San Francisco Regional Attorney William R. Tamayo said, "We commend the bravery of the women in this case to come forward. Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal – no one should be required to work in a hostile environment."
EEOC San Francisco District Director Michael Baldonado added, "My advice to employers is to take every report of harassment seriously. Don't dismiss such behavior as 'the cost of doing business' and don't ignore problems in hopes that they will go away. The law requires you to quickly and effectively respond to such complaints."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Coach Popovich has said Kawhi Leonard is 'progressing' with his tendinitis injury.
He didn't say much else and the Spurs aren't the type of organization to release any information regarding these things, but this news is better than none. After the video of Leonard hobbling onto the plane this is great news for owners and it seems like a return could be closer than previously assumed.

May 22, 2019, 11:41 amKawhi Leonard - F - Toronto Raptors
Danny Green never believed Kawhi Leonard was anything but legitimately hurt last year and back-to-back brilliant performances the last two games reinforces how serious the injury was.
"He's playing through pain," Danny Green said to a handful of reporters, long after Leonard left the locker room. "He can't even celebrate baskets because of how painful it is." For the last couple games Kawhi has dragged around his right leg like there was a nail hammered into it while the Raptors won't admit there is a problem. Toronto's bench was brilliant yesterday carrying the team to a victory and with Game 5 set to take place on Thursday Leonard won't have much time to rest.

Pau Gasol made it official by confirming that he won't be playing for Spain at the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup due to his foot fracture.
"I would have loved playing with Spain, with my teammates. It has been always important playing for my National Team", Gasol said. The big man added that he would love to end his international career by playing in the Olympics in Tokyo but after finishing the worst statistical season of his NBA career we have to wonder whether injuries will allow him to continue competing at the highest level.

May 22, 2019, 9:32 amKyrie Irving - G - Boston Celtics
Brian Windhorst of ESPN is reporting that Kyrie Irving is open to joining the Lakers but they aren't as high on his list as a few other teams.
Irving will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st and he has the Celtics, the Knicks and the Nets all ahead of the Lakers as potential destinations. Joining the Lakers would mean reuniting with LeBron James, his former teammate with the Cavs. Kyrie and LeBron overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Warriors to win the championship in 2016 but their relationship went south leading to Irving's trade to the Celtics last year.

Warriors star Kevin Durant has not made a decision on where he's taking his talents next season, according to his manager Rich Kleiman.
"Kevin is 100 percent undecided," Kleiman told the Wall Street Journal. "He really doesn't know, and I really don't know." KD has strongly been linked to the Knicks, while the Clippers and the Nets seem to have increased their odds as well, but it's hard to know what Durant really has in his mind.

May 22, 2019, 9:07 amAnthony Davis - F/C - New Orleans Pelicans
FS1's Chris Broussard suggested that the Nets could be a dark horse when it comes to landing Anthony Davis.
Brooklyn could offer the Pelicans a package that includes D'Angelo Russell (as part of a sign-and-trade), big man Jarrett Allen and their two first-round picks in the June 20 NBA Draft, the No. 17 and No. 27 overall selections. The Nets' hope is to bring both AD and free agent-to-be Kyrie Irving to Brooklyn as Sean Marks seems determined to build a contender. AD and his agent Rich Paul are expected to meet with David Griffin in Los Angeles soon, so we should know more about the All-Star's' future once this meeting finally takes place.

May 22, 2019, 8:52 amTobias Harris - F - Philadelphia Sixers
Keith Pompey of the Phily Inquirer is reporting that Tobias Harris will be on the radar of at least five teams, including the Kings, the Mavs, the Jazz, the Nets and the Pacers, all of which have room to add a maximum-salary free agent.
The Sixers will have a full plate this offseason as they have three starters headed toward unrestricted free agency this summer in Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris and J.J. Redick. Philadelphia owns Harris' Bird rights, meaning they can offer him the most-lucrative deal, a five-year, $188 million pact while the most another team could offer would be a four-year deal at $141 million. Harris will soon be turning 27 and entering his prime and his services will absolutely be in demand even thought he averaged just 15.5 points and 9.2 rebounds in 12 playoff games this year.

May 22, 2019, 8:39 amKevin Durant - F - Golden State Warriors
Marc Stein of the New York Times wrote on his newsletter on Tuesday that the Clippers have emerged as an equally dangerous threat to the Knicks to sign Kevin Durant away from the Warriors.
KD is expected to enter free agency this offseason by declining his $31.5 million option for 2019-20. The 30-year-old All-Star will be in high demand once he hits the open market, and the Knicks, the Nets and the Clippers all have more than $50 million in practical cap space this summer. Durant will likely consider how well each team is set up for success, which would seem to favor the Clippers and the Nets, both of whom made the playoffs last season. Meanwhile, Warriors owner Joe Lacob remains confident about the team re-signing KD and Klay Thompson this summer.

May 22, 2019, 12:27 amKyle Lowry - G - Toronto Raptors
Kyle Lowry went for 25 points (6-of-11 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, three 3-pointers and just one turnover in 34 minutes in Tuesday's 120-102 win over the Bucks.
Lowry was feeling it and getting wherever he wanted most of the night. He's had a couple huge games in this series now and the Raptors will likely need another one if they're going to pull out a series win. Their next shot at the Bucks will come in Thursday night's Game 5 in Milwaukee.
May 22, 2019, 12:19 amSerge Ibaka - F/C - Toronto Raptors
Serge Ibaka double-doubled with 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs) and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes on Tuesday as the Raptors evened the series with a Game 4 home victory over the Bucks.
Ibaka provided some energy with some early dunks in traffic. This was his best game of the series by far, and it'll be interesting to see how the Bucks try to slow the Raptor's big men in Game 5 on Thursday.
May 22, 2019, 12:12 amMarc Gasol - C - Toronto Raptors
Marc Gasol had a great all-around performance with 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks, three treys, zero turnovers and some excellent defense over 31 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Bucks.
Gasol looked great out there, making life in the lane tough for Giannis Antetokounmpo and causing Bucks turnovers on the perimeter. That's two straight quality performances from Gasol after two duds to begin the series. We'll see if he can keep it up as the Raptors return to Milwaukee on Thursday night.

US President Barack Hussein Obama's greatest achievement in 2012 was creating an Islamist Egypt ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood. Make no mistake about it, without Obama giving the Muslim Brotherhood financial support and the backing of the United States, the phony Arab Spring never would have taken hold. Of course, all this was done to turn the Middle East's largest Muslim country into a Sharia-ruled regime that just happens to sit on the southern border of Israel.
What a coincidence.
From Yahoo News: CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Islamist-backed constitution headed toward likely approval in a final round of voting on Saturday, but the deep divisions it has opened up threaten to fuel continued turmoil.
Passage is a victory for Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, but a costly one. The bruising battle over the past month stripped away hope that the long-awaited constitution would bring a national consensus on the path Egypt will take after shedding its autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago.
Instead, Morsi disillusioned many non-Islamists who had once backed him and has become more reliant on his core support in theMuslim Brotherhood and other Islamists. Hard-liners in his camp are determined to implement provisions for stricter rule by Islamic law in the charter, which is likely to futher fuel divisions.
His liberal and secular opposition, in turn, faces the task of trying to organize the significant portion of the population angered by what they see as attempts by Morsi and the Brotherhood to gain a lock on political power. The main opposition group, the National Salvation Front, said it would now start rallying for elections for the next lawmaking, lower house of parliament, expected early next year.
"We feel more empowered because of the referendum. We proved that at least we are half of society (that) doesn't approve of all this. We will build on it," the Front's spokesman, Khaled Daoud, said. Still, he said, there was "no appetite" at the moment for further street protests.
Saturday's voting in 17 of Egypt's 27 provinces was the second and final round of the referendum. Though the constitution is widely expected to pass, the key questions will be over turnout and the margin of victory. Preliminary results from the first round a week ago showed only 32 percent turnout and a relatively low edge of 56 percent for the "yes" vote. Preliminary results from the second round are expected to emerge by early Sunday.
The new constitution would come into effect once official results are announced, expected in several days
In a sign of disarray in Morsi's administration, his vice president and — possibly — the central bank governor resigned during Saturday's voting. Vice President Mahmoud Mekki's resignation had been expected since his post is eliminated under the new constitution. But its hasty submission even before the charter has been sealed and his own resignation statement suggested it was linked to Morsi's policies.
"I have realized a while ago that the nature of politics don't suit my professional background as a judge," his resignation letter, read on state TV, said. Mekki said he had first submitted his resignation last month but events forced him to stay on.
The status of Central Bank Governor Farouq el-Oqdah was murkier. State TV first reported his resignation, then soon after reported the Cabinet denied he has stepped down in a possible sing of confusion. El-Oqdah, in his post since 2003, has reportedly been seeking to step down but in recent weeks the administration was trying to convince him to stay on. The government is eager to show some stability in the economy as the Egyptian pound has been sliding and a much-needed $4.8 billion loan from the IMF has been postponed.
"I don't trust the Brotherhood anymore and I don't trust the opposition either. We are forgotten, the most miserable and the first to suffer," said Azouz Ayesh, sitting with his neighbors as their cattle grazed in a nearby field in the Fayoum countryside.
Over the past month, seven of Morsi's 17 top advisers and the one Christian among his top four aides resigned. Like Mekki, they said they had never been consulted in advance on any of the president's moves, including his Nov. 22 decrees, since rescinded, that granted himself near absolute powers.
Those decrees sparked large street protests by hundreds of thousands around the country, bringing counter-rallies by Islamists. The turmoil was further fueled with a Constituent Assembly almost entirely made up of Islamists finalized the constitution draft in the dead of night amid a boycott by liberals and Christians. Rallies turned violent. Brotherhood offices were attacked, and Islamists attacked an opposition sit-in outside the presidential palace in Cairo leading to clashes that left 10 dead.
The turmoil opened up a vein of bitterness that the polarizing constitution will do little to close. Morsi opponents accused him of seeking to create a new Mubarak-style autocracy. The Brotherhood accused his rivals of being former Mubarak officials trying to topple an elected president and return to power. Islamists branded opponents "infidels" and vowed they will never accept anything but "God's law" in Egypt.
Both rounds of voting saw claims by the opposition and rights groups of voting violations. On Saturday they said violations ranged from polling stations opening late to Islamists seeking to influence voters to say "yes." The official MENA news agency said at least two judges have been removed for coercing voters to cast "yes" ballots.
The opposition's talk of now taking the contest to the parliament elections represented a shift in the conflict — an implicit gamble that the opposition can try to compete under rules that the Islamists have set. The Brotherhood's electoral machine has been one of its strongest tools since Mubarak's fall, while liberal and secular parties have been divided and failed to create a grassroots network.
In the first post-Mubarak parliament elections last winter, the Brotherhood and ultraconservative Salafis won more than 70 percent of seats in the lower chamber, which was later dissolved by a court order. The opposition is now betting it can do better with the anger over Morsi's performance so far.
The schism in a country that has for decades seen its institutions function behind a facade of stability was on display in Saturday's lines of voters. In the village of Ikhsas in the Giza countryside south of Cairo, an elderly man who voted "no" screamed in the polling station that the charter is "a Brotherhood constitution."
"We want a constitution in the interest of Egypt. We want a constitution that serves everyone, not just the Brotherhood. They can't keep fooling the people," Ali Hassan, a 68-year-old wearing traditional robes, said.
But others were drawn by the hope that a constitution would finally bring some stability after nearly two years of tumultuous transitional politics. There appeared to be a broad economic split, with many of the middle and upper classes rejecting the charter and the poor voting "yes" — though the division was not always clear-cut.
In Ikhsas, Hassan Kamel, a 49-year-old day worker, said "We the poor will pay the price" of a no vote. He dismissed the opposition leadership as elite and out of touch. "Show me an office for any of those parties that say no here in Ikhsas or south of Cairo. They are not connecting with people."
In the industrial working class district of Shubra El-Kheima just north of Cairo, women argued while waiting in line over the draft charter. Samira Saad, a 55 year old housewife, said she wanted her five boys to find jobs. "We want to get on with things and we want things to be better," she said.
Nahed Nessim, a Christian, questioned the integrity of the process. "There is a lot of corruption. My vote won't count." She was taken to task by Muslim women wearing the niqab, which blankets the entire body and leaves only the eyes visible and is worn by ultraconservative women.
"We have a president who fears God and memorizes His words. Why are we not giving him a chance until he stands on his feet?" said one of the women, Faiza Mehana, 48.
The promise of stability even drew one Christian woman in Fayoum, southwest of Cairo, to vote "yes" — a break with most Christians nationwide who oppose the draft. Hanaa Zaki said she wanted an end to Egypt's deepening economic woes.
"I have a son who didn't get paid for the past six months. We have been in this crisis for so long and we are fed up," said Zaki, waiting in line along with bearded Muslim men and Muslim women wearing headscarves in Fayoum, a province that is home to both a large Christian community and a strong Islamist movement.
The scene In Giza's upscale Mohandiseen neighborhood was starkly different.
A group of 12 women speaking to each other in a mix of French, Arabic and English said they were all voting "no."
"It's not about Christian versus Muslim, it is Muslim Brotherhood versus everyone else," said one of them, Shahira Sadeq, a Christian physician.
Kamla el-Tantawi, 65, said she was voted "against what I'm seeing" — and she gestured at a woman nearby wearing the niqab.
"I lose sleep thinking about my grandchildren and their future. They never saw the beautiful Egypt we did," she said, harkening back to a time decades ago when few women even wore headscarves covering their hair, much less the black niqab. Many voters were under no illusions the turmoil would end. source – Yahoo News

1999 | Patrick Stewart in 'A Christmas Carol'
This TV adaptation of the story features Joel Grey, left, as the Ghost of Christmas Past and Patrick Stewart, of "Star Trek" fame, as Scrooge. This production, directed by David Jones and written by Peter Barnes, is handsome and commendable, though not up to the splendid 1984 rendering with George C. Scott on CBS, wrote former Los Angeles Times television critic Howard Rosenberg. "Like Scott's, Stewart's Scrooge is no shriveled, doddering, stereotypical miser running his scrawny fingers through mounds of gold coins. Although properly menacing before seeing the light, [Stewart's Scrooge] is also a robust, shrewd, hard-dealing, tightfisted businessman who just happens to have a low opinion of Christmas and those who celebrate it."

OpenEye (http://www.eyesopen.com) makes computational chemistry software that uses PVM. While not MPI, it's similar in that it uses a message-passing paradigm. I supported this software at a pharmaceutical company up until about a year ago. There was talk of porting their programs to MPI, since PVM is relatively obsolete these days. I just checked their website, and still see PVM being listed as the technology of choice for FRED, ROCS and OMEGA. MatLab has a parallel computing toolbox that uses MPI-2 interface: http://www.mathworks.com/products/parallel-computing/parallel/ Schrodinger (http://www.schrodinger.com) has a few computationa chemistry applications that use MPI. Desmond and Parallel Jaguar are two. These are all commercial applications that anyone (with enough $$$) can buy, and the use MPI right out of the box. The Schrodinger applications also support the major queuing systems (SGE, PBS/Torge and Platform LSF) right out of the box, too, and even provides very good documentation for setting up your parallel environment/queue to work with their software. -- Prentice

Day 1: Jiankou Great Wall Camping
From our meeting point (Lama temple subway station) we drive for about 2 hours till we reach picturesque Dazhenyu village. Before we start this Great Wall trek, we enjoy a good farm house lunch in a yard surrounded by chestnuts trees and with a view on the Jiankou Great Wall. It is going to be an 8-km hike with a total ascend of 600 meters, so you'll need a fair bit of energy to make it to the top.
The start of this Jiankou Great Wall trek is amazing. The Great Wall drops down into WangQuan (spring valley) and climbs back almost vertical. We ascend about 500 meters following a small trail up the mountain for about 1 hour until we reach the Great Wall at the second beacon tower. From here it's all about enjoying the scenery.
As our trek on the Great Wall continues, you can enjoy fantastic views of the valleys and the middle of the Jiankou Great Wall. We will walk through and over 7 beacon towers, the best-preserved ones are called the 5-eye watchtower and the Jade tower.
At the highest point of our hike, we reach a Great Wall intersection and follow the wall towards the middle of Jiankou. This part of the hike is all downhill till the camp tower. You'll need a little balance here occasionally but it's all safe. At the wall's lowest point, we will be camping on top of the Great wall.
Day 2 East Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall Trekking
We get up early and enjoy a good local breakfast before we step into our van for a short drive to the eastern part of the Jiankou Great Wall. Jiankou to Mutianyu is a breathtaking 10-km trek that combines wild and restored Great Wall. You need a bit effort to reach there but you will be rewarded with fantastic sceneries.
Jiankou to Mutianyu Great wall hike
West to East Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall Trekking (View from the Zhengbeilou Watchtower)
From a Chestnut orchard, we start walking on a dirt trail that leads to the east Jiankou Great Wall. It is 500 meters ascend that will take us about 1 hour. You will agree that it is worth the effort when you finally climb the ladder to the Zhengbeilou Watchtower (991meters) where some of the most spectacular pictures have been shot.
We walk east on the wall to the highest point of Jiankou (1029 meters), allowing you to see the entire Mutianyu Great Wall plus most part of Jiankou as well. It's a very enjoyable walk on top of a well preserved Great Wall where we pass the famous "bull's horn section". After a good hour hiking on top of the Jiankou Great Wall, a tree full of prayer flags announces the start of the Mutianyu Great Wall. Here the Great Wall is restored. A short hike on the Mutianyu Great Wall leads us past 4 guard towers before we take start our 1 hour downhill hike through the valley. The trail ends at a picturesque village where celebrate the Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall trekking with a good lunch and a few beers. By 6 pm we should be back at our meeting point in Beijing.
Level 3:Medium-strong
We rate the West to East Jiankou to Mutianyu Great Wall trekking Level 3 because both days include a steep climb to reach the Great Wall. Good Hiking shoes are recommended as we will hike some crumbled sections of the Great Wall. We always hike at a relax pace so if you have an average to good physical condition you will enjoy this trip. There is little shade during start of the first day's hike so don't forget to bring sun lotion and a hat during summer.
