HAYWARD — At their first meeting of the year, Hayward trustees approved two new charter schools and heard a proposal by African-American community leaders to improve the academic performance of black youth.
Silver Oak Montessori Charter School and Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy were given the green light Wednesday night by Hayward Unified trustees, who unanimously approved charter agreements with the schools.
Silver Oak is a high school that will include grades 9 through 12. It is affiliated with Golden Oak Montessori Charter School in Hayward, which has kindergarten through eighth-grade classes.
KEY Academy is a kindergarten through eighth-grade school with a focus on serving students who speak Urdu, Punjab, Hindi, Farsi, Arabic Pashto and other Persian dialects.
Board member Lisa Brunner said that she is not a supporter of charter schools in general, but the two groups had met the legal requirements for approval.
"I ask that you be diligent that your student body reflect the diversity of this community," she said to supporters of Golden Oaks. She also said she was glad to see KEY Academy offering Arabic language classes.
In addition to Golden Oak, Hayward already has two other charter schools, both of which are grades nine through 12: Leadership Public School and Impact Academy of Arts and Technology.
Also before the board was a community plan to raise test scores of African-American students. The Rev. Tommy Smith of Palma Ceia Baptist Church outlined a four-part platform proposed by the African-American Educational Coalition.
It includes intervention for low-achieving students, culturally sensitive training for teachers and other school employees, a review of district behavioral policies and promoting parent and community partnerships and alliances with school sites.
Smith said there is a link between low achievement and discipline and urged that referrals to alternative schools be reviewed to ensure there was no racial bias. In its report to the board, the coalition noted that while 14 percent of the district's students are African-Americans, 29 percent of those the district's alternative Brenkwitz High are black. He also asked that the district look at guidelines for suspensions and expulsions.
Board members agreed there was a need to bring up the scores of African-American students and pledged their support.
"I would like to thank you for stepping up," trustee John Taylor said.
Smith said Thursday that the coalition would be working with Superintendent Donald Evans' office on carrying out some of the ideas.

For Seniors: Send E-Mail Messages on iPad 2
iPad 2 lets you keep in contact with your friends and colleagues through e-mail. Using Mail, you can create e-mail messages and send them to anyone you like, whether or not that person is in your Contacts list.
With Mail open, tap the New Message icon.
A blank message form appears.
Enter a recipient's address in the To field.
If you have saved addresses in Contacts, tap the plus-sign symbol (+) in the Address field to choose an addressee from the Contacts list.
If you want to send a copy of the message to other people, enter their addresses in the Cc/Bcc field.
When you tap the CC/Bcc field, it expands to two fields — Cc and Bcc. Cc sends a copy of the message; using it is kind of like saying, "This is just for your information." Bcc sends a blind carbon copy, which means that other recipients are unaware that this person is being included in the reply.
Enter the subject of the message in the Subject field.
Although you don't have to enter a subject, it's a good idea to do so, so recipients can quickly identify the reason for the message.
Tap in the message body and type your message.

873: FPS Mod
|FPS Mod
Title text: Wait, that second one is a woman? ... wait, if that bothers me, then why doesn't ... man, this game is no fun anymore.
FPS is "First Person Shooter", which is a type of video game (like Halo or Duke Nukem) in which you are looking at the world from the first person perspective of the character you are controlling. Cueball mods the game which is short for "modify".
FPS games are controversial for their encouraging killing (especially of human beings). One point of the controversy is that, while virtual enemies are just pixels on a screen, real enemies have actual lives, emotions, and the like. In the games, there is a disconnect between the act and its emotional cost, thus leading to the controversy that FPS encourage wanton killing (or violence in general) to solve problems instead of considering the other party. Cueball makes reference to this by adding a mod that gives biographical snippets of the enemy you shoot in the game, thus giving him the perspective of the enemy he just shot. However, the disconnect between the act and the emotional cost fades away, causing Cueball to feel for the enemies he has shot, thus removing any enjoyment he gets from the game.
The above can also be a reference towards making games more realistic. Giving the enemies a life above being mere targets definitely makes the game more realistic, but such a game would not be that enjoyable. This has been explored previously in xkcd.
The title text talks about how gender is portrayed in games.
- [Cueball is playing a video game.]
- Game: He once built a treehouse.
- Game: She has 110 unread emails that she was hoping to get to tonight.
- Game: He was the only one who took care of the plants back at base.
- No one liked my FPS mod that gives you three-second snippets from the bios of people you shoot.

This particular comic is referred to in the game Borderlands 2 with the gun Morningstar, referred to in game as an 'ex-K Seedy weapon, custom designed for a murderer like yourself' which is a reward from the mission Hyperion Contract 873. When fired it talks, saying things similar to this comic, like "Someone is now an orphan and doesn't know it yet!" or "They might have been raised in a broken home" after a kill, or "Murderer!" on a critical hit. --22.214.171.124 04:16, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
I think you never kill humans in Duke Nukem (or Heretic) and personally I consider it advantage. Alternatively, in Unreal Tournament, everyone respawns just like you do, making it something like game about game. -- Hkmaly (talk) 09:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
While not technically a FPS, Dishonored did something similar with The Heart. You can aim it at anyone and get a surprisingly similar type of insight into their life. Made the game a lot more interesting in my opinion. 188.8.131.52 09:47, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Agreed. Though I was kind of disappointed when I realized that I didn't learn anything about different mooks of the same class, because they all share the same lines (so you can get the same description by asking the heart about two different assassins, or two different overseers, for instance). 184.108.40.206 20:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
I recently realized that although not an FPS, Watch_Dogs does exactly this.Delorean225 (talk) 01:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
That's true. I've died many times during a bullet hell after I've hesitated to kill a "Newlywed" or someone who was "Diagnosed with terminal cancer." What was worse was when I profiled someone AFTER I killed them, after which I usually caught myself justifying their deaths ("He had a heart defect, he was gonna die anyway", "he suffered from delusions of grandeur, good riddance," "he had schizophrenia, I just put him out of his misery"). 184.108.40.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I was very interested to find this online today although sad we were not able to connect earlier. I am the great granddaugther of Grace Leach Walker West, the younger sister of Harry Hicks Walker, your great grandfather.
My Grace died in the early 50s and I never knew her. I lost my grandmother, Frances West Brockus (who lived in Kansas City) 5 years ago so I do not know if she stayed in touch with her uncle Harry (whom I also believe died in the early 50s) or your grandmother. We still have photos and items from Harry and (my) Grace Walker's grandparents- Conrad and Eliza Hicks. My mom, Beverly, her sister, Vicky, and I would love to connect with you!


text: At no time in our history have we needed school leaders more than we do today. Educational leadership is a broad and essential component of any successful school, and developing teacher leaders is a critical goal of the Arizona K12 Center. It's vital that teachers take a leadership role, both in their own professional learning, and in the school community at large. We know that leadership is more than a position; it is a set of qualities, skills, and knowledge that enhances the effectiveness of individuals and creates real value to the school community. As a result, we are home to programs that acknowledge, nurture, and leverage that leadership for the benefit of students and schools alike.

|Michael Veit
|Annie Bartels
Recent University of Minnesota graduate Michael J. Veit has won the 2014 Leroy Apker award of the American Physical Society. The prestigious Apker award recognizes outstanding achievements and potential for future scientific accomplishment in physics by undergraduate students. Only two winners are selected, one from a Ph.D.-granting institution, and one from a non-Ph.D-granting institution.
The award consists of $5,000, an allowance for travel to the meeting of the Society at which the award is being presented, and a certificate citing the work and school of the recipient
Veit recently earned his Bachelor's of Science degree in Physics with high distinction. During his time as an undergraduate, he worked for more than two years in Professor Martin Greven's laboratory, were he grew crystals and pursued state-of-the-art charge transport measurements of cuprate superconductors. It was this research on the class of superconductors which have an anomalously high superconducting transition temperature that earned him the Apker Award. Veit's work culminated in a senior honors thesis, and he graduated summa cum laude, with a dual degree in Mathematics and a minor in Chemistry. His research contributions have earned him co-authorship on numerous publications.
"Winning this award is an incredible honor to me. I was incredibly grateful for even being selected as a finalist and having the amazing opportunity to present my work in person. I would especially like to thank Dr. Martin Greven for giving me the tremendous opportunity to work in his lab as well as nominating me for this award. I would also like to thank Dr. Mun Chan who I worked very closely with during my time in Dr. Greven's lab, and much of my work would not have been possible without him. Finally, special thanks go to my friends and family for their support throughout my college career."
For his academic achievements, Veit has also been recognized with numerous University of Minnesota scholarships and awards, including the Jeffrey Basford Scholarship and the Hagstrum Award in Physics for overall achievement. Veit is currently attending Stanford University, where he has been awarded a competitive Stanford Graduate Fellowship and plans to pursue a Ph.D. in the Applied Physics Department.

Cumin Jeera Recipes
Aloo Gobi Recipe with Purple Cauliflower and Potatoes
Aloo gobi is an Indian vegetarian dish made with potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi). I gave a little twist to the dish by using purple cauliflower and Peruvian purples, which are Fingerling-sized, purple-tinted potatoes. Except for these changes, the recipe remains the same.
The lilac color from the cauliflower slightly fades once it's cooked, but it's still a great addition of color to the Indian dish. It stokes curiosity and brings a new experience to the dinner table. I've made the same recipe using orange cauliflower and sweet potatoes in the past, and it also worked quite well.
Now, I'm off to test carrot purée using Okinawan sweet potatoes and purple carrots. I've been having way too much fun with this!
Full Recipe...
Aloo Gobi Recipe
Aloo gobi is an Indian vegetarian dish made with potatoes (aloo), cauliflower (gobi) and Indian spices. I also added peas, tomatoes and the usual ginger garlic paste.
I think aloo gobi was the first Indian dish I ever cooked when I got married. It's very easy to assemble all the ingredients, making it a good introduction to Indian cooking. First, a paste is formed from the spices, and then the vegetables are cooked in the paste until soft. Even though children may not love cauliflower, it is actually a kid-friendly dish. I've found it's a great way to get my little munchkin to eat her vegetables. I just reduce the number of chiles, and serve it with a warm roti (flat Indian bread). Today I made it for us big kids, so I served it with basmati rice.
If you're looking to try your hand at Indian cuisine, this is a great place to start!

Jeera Aloo (Potato Curry)
Jeera aloo masala is a potato dish made with a spicy cumin gravy. Turmeric powder gives the dish its bright yellow color, and along with the heat from the traditional garam masala, makes this dish the ultimate Indian comfort food.
I often make jeera aloo because it's a quick and easy vegetarian meal when I'm pressed for time. There are always potatoes and a container of ready-made garam masala in my house, so it's something I can throw together with almost no effort.
I think we all wish we could give our family healthy meals, but sometimes life intervenes and it's hard to find time to make wholesome food. Having a few recipes like jeera aloo in your culinary arsenal that you can whip up quickly and easily will help keep you from relying too much on high calorie takeout.

A map of the election night returns for the presidential race in San Diego shows President
The map shows where each candidate garnered the largest percentages of the vote, and the most varied patchwork of red and blue is in North County.
Romney was most successful in the Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks areas. He also saw deep support in other, more rural precincts like Alpine, Valley Center, Ramona, Jamul and others.
Obama's best precincts were in San Diego's urban core, especially in the neighborhoods of Golden Hill, Logan Heights and Barrio Logan southeast of Balboa Park. The president also garnered large percentages of the vote in Ocean Beach, the University of California San Diego area and portions of the South Bay.
U-T San Diego also estimated the demographic makeup of the precincts where each candidate won the most votes on Nov. 6, using U.S. Census 2010 data in a process similar to that used by redistricting officials.
The precincts where Obama led the race have an estimated demographic makeup of 43 percent white, 35 percent Hispanic, 13 percent Asian, 6 percent black and 3 percent other, including persons of multiple races, Pacific islanders and American Indians.
Romney's precincts had an estimated demographic breakdown of 69 percent white, 17 percent Hispanic, 8 percent Asian, 2 percent black and 4 percent other.
The map and the demographic estimates are based on election night returns, while 475,000 votes were still being counted. As of Tuesday evening, when 210,00 ballots were still being counted, Obama had captured 51.5 percent of the vote in the county to Romney's 46.4 percent.
San Diego County Registrar of Voters officials expect the votes will be counted right up to the deadline to have the results certified on Dec. 4.

I'm currently looking at a 2011 Naish Global 5'4. I weigh 72 kg / 158 lbs and want something for high winds twenty plus that will perform in chop/swell/ onshore waves > control / ideally something that can handle chop. My 2013 Airush Cypher 5'6 is a nice board, but it can be a little big when the wind and water whips up (it's a light to medium wind board).
I usually ride a twintip (North X-Ride or OR Mako 140) when the wind and water's up, but sometimes I just prefer to be on a directional. The Mako is a better choice in swell and waves, but from my experience, it's just not the same as riding a surfboard on a wave/swell.
The Global 5'4 seems small (16.75" width) but perhaps it's just the board I'm looking for given my weight and intended wind range. I saw something about the 5'4 being nervous?
Any suggestions / recommendations...other Global sizes, years, etc? Other boards as well.

IBM's CIO experiments with role-based management of IT, BYOD
IBM CIO Jeanette Horan is testing out role-based management for IT delivery, with job function the determining factor behind such programs as BYOD.
Role-based management is not an uncommon practice in IT security programs. IBM CIO Jeanette Horan, however, is taking this technology strategy management approach to a whole new level. She is experimenting with it as part of an IT strategy that touches 180,000 users in 170 countries and that is being carried out by several thousand IT workers.
The idea for role-based management began to take shape about a year ago, with a "day in the life of" project in which IT staff were asked to walk in a user's shoes, Horan said. Specifically, she asked them to choose 20 job roles to shadow.
We are thinking about what's the right tool for these people in these different roles.
"This was a representative sample of different job categories in different countries. We interviewed them and asked, 'What do you do?'" Horan said. The aim of the interviews was to get a detailed sense of how these representative employees spent their days. "Somebody might start by saying, 'I'm traveling, and I go into Starbucks in the morning and I log in and talk with my kids on Skype.'"
Her team came away with patterns of behavior -- what IBM people did, the tools they needed to do their jobs and the security risks in the ways they used them. The data collected has formed the basis of a role-based management strategy that could bring about some pretty big changes in how the company provisions IT. "We are thinking about what's the right tool for these people in these different roles -- everything from the physical device to the operating system," Horan said.
One result of the project so far is the provisioning of some users -- the ones who "have the most potential to do damage if they got infected," Horan said -- with hardened Linux operating systems. But she's quick to point out that this is not a blanket policy: "If I tried to impose that set of policies and technologies on my research community, I'd have complete anarchy -- mutiny."
Role-based management influencing BYOD
Horan's role-based management approach has helped her to refine IBM policies for smartphone use (see sidebar). Tablet use policies, on the other hand, are a work in progress.
IBM's BYOD smartphone program
- One-third of IBM's 180,000 employees are part of the corporate managed-smartphone program. ("In reality, we provide them to about half of the IBM population because we have a lot of exceptions," CIO Jeanette Horan said.)
- Most employees get only basic functions: email, calendar and contacts.
- Virtual private networks are being evaluated for broader access to all IBM internal applications. About 5,000 users are using VPNs now.
- Only a limited number of BlackBerrys, Androids and iPhones are covered. Employees have to buy devices that aren't covered, but IBM will pay the bill if they are eligible for the corporate plan.
As it stands, IBM does not buy tablets for employees. But Horan recognizes that "a ton of" employees are using them, and even foresees a day when tablets could replace laptops at IBM. In the meantime, by looking at bring your own device (BYOD) from a role-based management perspective -- she also calls it "segmenting the workforce" -- IT is moving away from the one-size-fits-all user strategy that has predominated at IBM.
"We are really trying to think much more about those different employee segments and what people's roles are, and really think, is there a class of people for whom a tablet could become their primary device?" Horan said.
Tablets, for example, could make sense for IBM's strategic outsourcing job functions -- data center and business process outsourcing, businesses with a lot of help desk employees, who by job definition are not mobile. A tablet designed to be a "kind of virtual desktop" would make sense for these employees, primarily for security reasons, Horan said. "The other attribute with that [type of] employee is higher turnover, so I have more sensitivity around what [company intellectual property] walks out the door," Horan added.
For now, Horan is determining the workforce segments she believes need a mobile device to get their jobs done and could be eligible for IBM's corporate managed-BYOD plan.
More about mobility strategies
Seven categories for evaluating mobile device management products
In building a mobility strategy, what the employee says goes
Even these roles have plenty of nuances, however. "If I told some people they must bring their own device, in some countries I'd run into work council issues or privacy concerns," she said. Then there are the legal issues around wiping data on a lost device that also contains personal data.
And BYOD at IBM -- at least for the foreseeable future -- will come with rules, regardless of the job role. Or, to put it in Horan's words: "Here are my rules. Agree to my rules or don't connect to my network. In your case, it's an IBM device and if you choose to put personal information on it, I'm sorry. I didn't give it to you for personal reasons; I gave it to you for business reasons. So right now, we have that separation."

How to Make a Cable-Knit Scarf in a Weekendcomments (24) November 5th, 2010
Do you dream of making the perfect scarf but aren't ready to commit to a big project? Well, here is your dream project come true. The big needles and thick yarn make this a quick knit and a beautiful addition to your winter wardrobe. If you are a new knitter, you'll also learn the joys of cabling—a simple, fun, and easy-to-execute stitch. From this one simple pattern, you can make a long, skinny version or a wider, warmer one. I've also included a tip on how to make a neat and polished selvage. By slipping the first stitch of every row, you will give your scarf an expert finish. So rent yourself the new season of Weeds, get out your big needles, and prepare to sport a new accessory by the time you head back to work on Monday.
What you'll need:
- Size 17 needles
- Thick cable needle
- Two to three skeins of yarn (7.5 to 8 stitches to 4 inches—I used Rowan's Big Yarn; I used three skeins to make a 72-inch double-cable scarf)
sts: stitches
k: knit
p: purl
slpks: Slip knit side (slide right needle into stitch on left needle as if you were preparing to knit but instead simply slip loop onto right needle)
How to Knit a Cable
On cable rows, slip 4 stitches onto a cable needle.
Hold the cable needle to the back behind your needles.
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!

So, now I have a new obsession: knitting! I am now the pleased-as-punch owner of two sets of KnitPick interchangeable circular needle sets (one wood Harmony, one Nickel plated), three Lantern Moon sets of straight needles, some KP DPNs, and I *already* have a stash of yarn. I've completed three scarves of varying design, three hats (two for a military knitted hat drive) and have three projects on the board at Ravelry (find me as GlobalTraveler) and more in the queue.
Since it's basically your handiwork that has found me taking up a new craft rather unexpectedly, I'm not sure whether to send you a virtual hug or a virtual slap. ;)
Thanks for the inspiration!

It really did take only a weekend, even though I'm a rank beginner. Lots of mistakes made, but hopefully not too obvious. I'm working on a thin skinny scarf to give to someone who tried the scarf on and the color looked great on her, so I'm making it out of the skein or so that I had left over.

I'm not going to want anyone to look at it too carefully (after tearing it out about six times, I decided getting the thing made was more important than getting the scarf perfect), but am very pleased at how it's all going -- thanks for the quick project, and I hope you're pleased at getting someone started up knitting!
After this...I'll make a hat to go with it, and maybe embellish a pair of gloves to match by putting on a ruffle at the cuffs or embroider a design on the back in the green yarn. :)

Pulmonary valve stenosis is a narrowing of the valve between the
lower right heart chamber and the pulmonary artery, which carries blood from
the heart to the lungs. It is a structural problem that develops before a baby
is born (congenital heart defect).
Because the valve is narrow, the heart pumps harder to try to get
enough blood through it. The narrower the valve, the more symptoms the baby
will have.
Treatment for pulmonary valve stenosis is typically a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure called a percutaneous
balloon pulmonary dilation (valvuloplasty) to open up the valve.
repair of the defect (heart valve surgery) may be needed if the valve is badly deformed.
Before these treatments, medicines may be given to maintain the blood flow or
to otherwise improve heart function and blood flow.

Blast Lock
Photo 58 of 378
Just outside the Launch Control Center (LCC), looking towards the blast lock (lit by orange gel'd flash) and 200-foot cable way to the missile silo.
The blast lock originally had four steel blast doors to protect personnel from an explosion in the launch silo or on the surface. Interlocks for each pair of blast doors prevented opening a second door before closing the first. This provided blast-protected entry from the access portal to the hardened facility, and to and from the control center and launch silo.

For those on the ground in New Jersey and New York, the misery wrought by Hurricane Sandy continues - many expect to be contending with the damage of floods and wind and will be without power, managing through poor communications, and long lines for fuel and supplies for days to come.
Up in the air, it's a different story. Airlines and the area's main airports are pretty much running normal operations.
Delta said today it estimates the hurricane will have cost the airline $45 million. Delta cancelled more than 3,500 flights in October, which caused a 2% system capacity reduction versus prior year.
"Delta's New York area operations are recovering from the storm's disruption. As of Thursday, Delta is operating at close to full schedule at New York-JFK and Newark, and operating at 80% of its normal schedule at LaGuardia. The company anticipates flying a full schedule at LaGuardia today," the airline said.
Other airlines told ATW it was still too early to know the cost of their cancelled flights in and out of the US northeast, but I would anticipate carriers such as United and US Airways having similar financial impacts.
But it's worth noting that from the air transportation business perspective, this hurricane ultimately became a relative storm-in-a-teacup event. That was not by accident or luck; airlines and airports rapidly switched to their crisis management plans and shut down the aviation system -- keeping it and people out of harm's way - well in advance of the storm.
One of the very few positive things one can say about a hurricane is that you have lots of advance warning and time to prepare. And prepare is exactly what the airlines and airports did. Plans to cancel most of the estimated 9,000 flights that were initially scrubbed were made far in advance and while the storm was still hundreds of miles out in the Atlantic.
That's how it should be, because that's the safest, most efficient, least disruptive and ultimately least costly way to run airline operations in these type of emergency situations.
Kudos, however, should still go to all those airline, airport and FAA ATC people who clearly executed their plans smoothly, professionally and without drama. Which is why the entire system could then be restarted in a remarkably short time, even as chaos continues on the ground in some of the worst hit areas.
Another thing to remember is that airlines and airports around the world have operated through far worse scenarios in recent times. And nobody in New York needs to be reminded of that fact.
Most recently, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan is another example of a completely devastating tragedy that struck without warning and from which you would think any recovery for those airlines directly impacted would be years in the making (remember, the subsequent nuclear catastrophe further deepened the negative effects on air travel to region for months after).
And yet... just this week, Japan's two largest carriers, ANA and JAL, announced their fiscal 1st half financial results and both are extraordinarily healthy. ANA posted a $0.5 billion profit while JAL posted a $1.2 billion profit (it must be said, JAL has been helped greatly by its restructuring and government aid through its bankruptcy process).
I was in Tokyo about a year ago, for the inaugural passenger flight of ANA's first Boeing 787, and the sheer joy and pride shown by ANA and Narita Airport employees at having achieved that historic landmark barely seven months after national catastrophe is something I will never forget. One ANA manager told me how the air traffic control towers in the area were the only safe havens for some people during the tsunami and time and again, airport and airline employees risked their lives to drag victims - some disabled and in wheelchairs - up to safety.
This is an incredibly resilient industry that lives, breathes and joins with the communities it serves.
Despite the impacts of the hurricane, Delta continued to have excellent operational performance in October. The carrier reported today that its completion factor for the month was 98%, and 85.5% of flights arrived on time.
That's the global airline industry at work.

text: Well, I'm back in the BMW fold after straying for a few years.. First BMW was a 93 K75, then in 99 a R1100R followed by a 2002 R1150RA. Then went to a 04 Honda ST1300 which I LOVED. Sold it for medical reasons then made the mistake of buying a 07 Triumph Bonnevile T100 which I never liked. Tried to sell it for over a year with no luck so ended up doing a trade over the Internet, my Triumph for his 2007 BMW F650GS loaded with farkles. Never owned a dual sport so figured I'd give it a go but would most likely be trading it in for something else in short order. But guess what, I LOVE this thing, most fun bike I've had in years , in fact of the 40 plus bikes I've owned since I was 16 I rank this thing in my top 5 favorites. So I guess it stays for a while

Greenpoint is the northern corner pocket neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Greenpoint is largely a working class neighborhood sometimes referred to as "Little Poland" due to its large population of working-class Polish immigrants, reportedly the second largest concentration in the United States after Chicago.
There is a definite Polish feel to the neighborhood churches and buildings. To the left in the photo collage above is St. Anthony - St. Alphonse Catholic Church. Its Gothic Revival style has a strong presence on Manhattan Avenue. The Polish National Church of the Resurrection, on the right in the collage above, is located on Leonard Street.
....where I saw the most delicious babkas, breads, donuts and pastries. It took great self control for me to not buy a cheese babka as they looked so good! Perhaps I'll come back after my daughter's wedding, when I am not dieting any longer ... sigh.
Another temptation were the fresh, daily made donuts at the Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop, located at 727 Manhattan Ave. in Greenpoint.
...the spicy, garlicky, salty, and sweet smells of kielbasi, sausage, and other cured meats immediately whiffs into your nostrils. It is a carnivores delight!
Just look at the size of those sausages! I was also tempted by the stuffed cabbage rolls that were for sale.

Puvungna is a story about two young brothers who travel back in time and discover an ancient Indian village along the shores of a Southern California beach and the terrifying secret behind its disappearance over five hundred years ago.
Puvungna is inspired by the true story of a lost village that was once populated by the indigenous Tongva people.
The Tongva, which means "people of the earth" in their native language, called Southern California their home for many thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans.
Believed to be the birthplace of Chinigchinich, a prophet and the spiritual leader of the native Tongva, Puvungna is considered sacred by indigenous people. It is also believed by many remaining modern-day Tongva people to be the place of creation.
You will meet Chinigchinich and the people who called Puvungna their home, and experience how they lived before their land was conquered, their spirituality, and the events that changed a long forgotten history which took place at the village.
The last remains of the village of Puvungna is located less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean on the campus of present day California State University, Long Beach, along the banks of a once flourishing creek that today is little more than a drainage ditch paved over with concrete.
While little is known about the ancient Tongva people today, the names for many of their villages live on as the names of cities and places across Southern California, including Azusa, Cucamonga, Pacoima, Tujunga, Topanga, Cahuenga, and many others.

Canadians Prefer Crunchy, Flavorful And Hot Snacks
Canadians' top snacking preference is foods that are crispy and crunchy (68 percent), followed closely by snacks that come in a variety of flavors (66 percent), and hot and fresh (57 percent), according to a recent poll by Angus Reid Strategies commissioned on behalf of Orville Redenbacher's.
Mississauga, Ontario-based ConAgra Foods Canada, a division of Omaha-based ConAgra Foods Inc., expands its Orville Redenbacher's Flavour Shakers line with the launch of a Salt and Vinegar flavor.
"For a long time, the only choice people had for flavoured popcorn was butter or no butter," said Rob Tallis, director of marketing for Orville Redenbacher's at ConAgra Foods Canada. "Canadians' tastes have evolved and Orville Redenbacher's has been responding by offering a variety of flavours, most recently with the addition of Salt & Vinegar to the Orville Redenbacher's Flavour Shakers line."
Suggested retail price for a five-pack box is $3.99 to $4.99.

Hello all.
Please take a moment to enjoy the latest "see through man"!
I discovered this sim "smoking gun" today while watching some video I have not viewed before.
At the 28:21 mark I noticed that there is a man who is digitally imposed "behind" a group of other men. When the software glitches, the man in the deep backgroudn, "bleeds" through the man who should be in front of him.
It is obvious and undeniable.
Here are several screen captures though to illustrate what I am referring to.

"According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, savory is defined as: a : piquantly pleasant to the mind <a savory triumph>b : morally exemplary c : pleasing to the sense of taste especially by reason of effective seasoning d : pungently flavorful without sweetness."
You say it's delicious, you haven't tasted,
Anything as savoury as this food.
Your words need changing, not to be wasted,
On food of women, snuck in your bedroom.
I'll help you understand, I'm not one to be —
Crossed; when you don't come home I wonder where,
Who you've been with? I cook dinner fancy,
Your favorite foods, savoury taste, you swear.
But this night has been waiting; I'm scared,
Tired, always being second, to some whore.
Eat food and choke; poisoned you're most aware,
Should've been home; other men me adored.
Were you ashamed of your own wife you wed?
You cared not for me; fortunes mine –you're dead.

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Tony Parker led San Antonio to a big fourth-quarter lead Wednesday and the Spurs held on to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 108-105.
The Lakers lost their fifth straight game and have fallen five games below the breakeven mark.
San Antonio bounced back from an unexpected loss to New Orleans to win for the ninth time in 11 contests and the Spurs improved their home record to 15-2 -- best in the NBA.
Parker hit 10-of-16 shots from the field and scored 24 points. San Antonio led by 16 with 7:11 to play, then fought off the Lakers thanks in part to a key 3-pointer from Manu Ginobili with 43 seconds remaining.
Ginobili had 19 points and both Tiago Splitter and Stephen Jackson had 14. Jackson was ejected from the game with 3:32 to play.
Kobe Bryant scored 27 points for the Lakers, but made just 10-of-24 shots. The Lakers will now play four consecutive home games, although two of them will be against defending conference champions Oklahoma City and Miami.

By Lisa Moore
Adapted by Lisa from her novel, February, published by Anansi
Adaptation developed in partnership with Winterset at the Summer Literary Festival
February tells the story of Helen O'Mara, whose husband died on the oil rig Ocean Ranger, a disaster that claimed the lives of all 84 souls and left a province shocked and saddened.

I am new to this forum and I am also new to owning a BMW motorcycle. I recently purchased two basket cases and am going to have them restored into a unique Cafe Racer. I just finished the restoration on a 1965 Porsche 356 and I want this bike to be a sister bike to my car and restored in the same sort of theme. Both being German and both being air cooled, really fond of the idea. Below is the restoration site for my bike, we are just getting started and I am in the able hands of Josh Withers who is going to restore my bike for me. Just wanted to introduce myself and would love any feedback.
My Porsche was done in an Outlaw Racer theme and we are going to try to carry over the same look and feel to the bike. Same color scheme and everything, hopefully it will turn out pretty cool, knowinig Josh and his previous bike, I have no doubts.
Thanks for following, I would love any input.
Shane Balkowitsch
PS: I have to bee honest, I do not even presently have a motorcycle license, but it is something I have always wanted to do. My brothers own motorcycles and many of my good friends and I would just love to be able to go for cruises with my friends and family on my unique BMW.

Key Specifications
- Review Price: £276.00
- Can 'scan' 3D objects
- Clever, automatically cleaned-up object copies
- Good software support
- Wireless connection
- Easy setup
There is now a laser printer for the eBay merchant, the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M275nw. Well OK, you could use it for other things, but the key feature of this machine is its scanner, which is really more of a rostrum camera. Most flatbed scanners have a focal length of a few millimetres and are
only really suitable for scanning paper originals, but this machine can
handle objects up to around 150mm high. HP has incorporated it into a small business, colour laser all-in-one and we're not completely clear of the logic to this.
The scanner looks quite a bit different from the norm, as for a start it isn't integrated with the laser printer engine. The scanner head, which is an 8Mpixel camera with LED flash lamps set either side of it, is mounted on a folding arm which sits about 200mm above the scanner tray. The tray is a single, white sheet of plastic, which is removable for when you need to change the printer's toner cartridges or photoconductor drum.
Below the tray and to the left is an 89mm touchscreen, with dedicated touch buttons down either side. This is on a ratcheted support, so it can sit at any of seven angles, but you do have to press the touch screen quite hard to operate on-screen buttons and this can ratchet the screen down, which is annoying.
Many colour lasers have a front panel USB socket, not just for secure printing, but for scanning to PDF or jpg files in a USB drive. Given the novelty of the scanner, which might well be used for direct scanning, it's surprising there's no such socket on the machine.
There are USB and Ethernet ports at the back, though, and the machine will also link wirelessly, with fast, single button set-up, if the router supports WPS. HP has built ePrint and AirPrint protocols into the machine, so it can be configured quickly to print across the Internet and directly from Apple devices.
The printer comes with its cartridges and drum pre-installed, so set up is quick and the supplied software works well with the scanner, so you can quickly create a series of scans from the tray.

Most people recognise the benefit of good property management in protecting and even increasing the value of their assets. But the more real estate you collect, the more difficult it becomes to manage effectively, especially since property management as a stand-alone service is no longer enough.
The world is speeding up, and taking too long to make the right decision – or even making the right decision at the wrong time – could weigh heavily on a property portfolio's return on investment. For example, if a fund manager is still chasing the paper trail that comes with traditional property management, evaluating individual assets can take longer. That means those bad apples are racking up unnecessary costs for a prolonged period. It also means that by the time an opportunity is discovered, it may already be too late to make the most of it.
A more comprehensive solution that doesn't just manage the individual assets in the portfolio is required. It should instead give the fund manager full, transparent and remotely accessible visibility of real-time data in one place, to react to the dynamic global business environment and tie the real estate directly into the business strategy more effectively. This is where an integrated service delivery model can be of benefit.
Do more at once
An integrated service delivery model enhances operational efficiency by presenting a clear and unified picture of your business strategy, existing assets, and real estate market data. This facilitates closely coordinated activity across multiple services and properties, using a real estate decision-making cycle of just five steps – strategise, locate, build, manage, review.
Where traditionally these steps had to be carried out consecutively, and separately for each individual property, integration combines all the services and properties together in a more holistic manner.
Guide business decisions with data
An integrated service delivery model consolidates regular real estate management services like lease administration and facilities management, with value-added services such as energy and sustainability services, corporate finance and capital markets, project management, as well as strategic consulting. Tying all these services together for effective business decision-making requires accurate portfolio data to be captured and processed. There are several lease administration technology tools to assist with this, highlighting what we call "key events".
Key events include break options, renewals and lease expirations. They give the business an opportunity to trigger portfolio-wide decisions and identify the source of ongoing real estate issues to refine their asset positions. Is one of the portfolio assets too large? Does a team need to grow and take up more space in their building? Is a business in the right location? All these questions can be addressed with key events monitoring.
Align portfolio strategy and business goals
To link a portfolio strategy to business goals, customised portfolio tools enable the monitoring and management of all locations in a portfolio – whether 10 or 10,000, from one easy to use web-based dashboard tool. From here, the user can access a series of customisable dashboards to view printable reports, key portfolio data, analytics and predictive modelling – all at their fingertips!
This helps drive greater accountability, increases control and consistency in reporting, and highlights new opportunities to fulfil business objectives. One way of doing this is by looking at real estate data, business data and marketing data together, to identify where they overlap to drive these objectives, such as cost saving or portfolio right-sizing. Various companies are now producing customised tools that provide this integrated view, like JLL's Portfolio Analytics Tool (PAT).
It's clear that with an integrated service delivery model, your portfolio issues won't multiply as your properties do. Instead, they will fuel progress in the portfolio, by offering greater visibility to identify lucrative business opportunities. It also allows more control, to manage the divide between cost reduction and improved employee productivity – all while simultaneously eradicating the need to juggle service providers for various functions. Take a tech smart approach to your real estate portfolio and see more results and benefits with integration.

A Study of Junior High Students' Perceptions of the Water Cycle
Orit Ben-zvi-Assarf and Nir Orion, The Science Teaching Department, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
This study explored junior high school students' perceptions of the water cycle. The study sample included 1,000 junior high school students (7th-9th grades) from six urban schools, in Israel. The data collection was based on a series of quantitative and qualitative research tools that were specifically developed for this study.
The findings indicated that the students understand various hydro-bio-geological processes, but most of them lack the dynamic, cyclic, and systemic perceptions of the system. Moreover, they possessed an incomplete picture of the water cycle including many preconceptions and misconceptions about it. Most of the sample population studied were aware of the atmospheric part of the water cycle, but ignored its groundwater part. Moreover, those who included part of the underground system in the water cycle perceived the underground water as static, sub-surface lakes.
It is suggested that the findings reflect the traditional disciplinary approach of the dealing with subject of water in the science curricula. This study also implies the need for further research about the cognitive abilities of junior high students to deal with cyclic-systems thinking, and the need to explore activities that might develop or stimulate such abilities.

The Effect of an Earth-Science Learning Program on Students' Scientific Thinking Skills
Nir Orion, Science Teaching Department, Weizmann Institute of Sceince, Israel
Yael Kali, Department of Education in Science and Technology, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology,
This study explored junior high school students' understanding of essential concepts of scientific thinking "observation", "hypothesis" and "conclusion" and the effect of the learning of the program "The Rock Cycle" on the development of such understanding. The study sample consisted of 582 students of the 7th and 8th grade, who learned in 21 classes, with 14 teachers from 8 schools in Israel. The data collection was based on a quantitative research tool that was specifically developed for this study and qualitative tools such as observations and interviews.
The findings indicated that the students have considerable difficulties in understanding the basic concepts underlying the scientific inquiry, and that the "The Rock Cycle" has a potential to develop such understanding. An unexpected gender difference was found. Girls outperformed boys in scientific thinking, both in the pre and the post tests. The unique character of geoscience methodology, together with structuredinquiry and metacognitive activities, served as an appropriate framework for students to develop basic scientific thinking. The co-interpretation of quantitative and qualitative analysis indicated that the type of teacher (openness to innovative methods, enthusiasm and scientific background) was a crucial factor in students' ability to exploit the potential of "The Rock Cycle".

Visual Abilities and Misconceptions About Plate Tectonics
Duncan F. Sibley, Department of Geological Science, Michigan State University
Diagrams, drawings, and pictures are prototypical representations of concepts. Students' drawings of their concepts of convergent plate boundaries provided an efficient means of discovering some widely held misconceptions. Over 600 general education students' drawings of continent-continent convergent boundaries reveal two common misconceptions. Approximately one-third drew a continent-continent convergent boundary with concave slabs of continental crust as one might imagine two pieces of firm rubber pushed together on a rigid surface. Almost half drew mountains as one might imagine inverted ice cream cones on a rigid plank. One hundred eighty students were presented a drawing similar to the first misconception and asked to comment on what was incorrect. Forty-nine percent of the students did not recognize the misconception. Students who did not recognize the incorrect representation had lower scores on the Purdue Visualization of Rotations Test than the students who did.
Misconceptions common to non-majors persist among upper class majors and beginning graduate students. Ten of 21 upper level geology majors and first year graduate students drew continent-continent convergent boundaries representing the same two prototype misconceptions that non-majors drew. Five out of 14 senior geology majors given a drawing representing a common misconception failed to recognize that the drawing was incorrect.

This is the tweflth installment of Sunday Dinners, a biweekly column from our own Tom Hirschfeld featuring his gorgeous photography, stunning Indiana farm, and mouthwatering family meals.
Today: Tom tells tales of his grandmother's epic Sunday Dinners, with a full menu of Pan Fried Red Snapper with Tarragon Tartar Sauce, Sautéed Zucchini with Basil Leaves, and Fresh Herb Potato Salad.
Sautéed Zucchini with Basil Leaves
I was looking through some old photographs the other day when I found one of my grandmother, Esther, when she was very young. Old photographs have always fascinated me. They stir my soul -- I have such a longing to understand what the person might have been thinking while they were posing for the photo. I tend to spend a bit of time daydreaming as to what their life was like, what their desires were, and how I would have felt about them if I had known them then.
I didn't know my grandparents well. My mom's parents were both gone before I was even a year old, and I only knew a little about my dad's parents. As with everything, time burnishes your memories and you begin to forget -- but then I started to think about my grandmother's pear preserves.
My dad's mom didn't cook complicated dishes, probably because she had mouths to feed: her six children, any extra farm hands that might be around during the day, and my grandfather.
That doesn't mean she didn't know how to cook. I remember very clearly one early Sunday just after church, sitting at her kitchen table in the small mid-century ranch they lived in after she and my grandfather retired from the farm, eating a sugar cookie laced with the exotic flavor of nutmeg and watching her cook. She had the deft hand of a line cook when she was at the stove: sliding dishes in and out of the oven with a folded towel and keeping pots and pans just right on top of the stove with a slightly oversized spoon.
The food she made was delicious and incredibly memorable, but you'd never call it fancy -- at least not by today's foodie standards.
Fresh Herb Potato Salad
In all honesty, I couldn't tell you anything firsthand about my grandparents' weekday eating habits. I only know about their Sunday dinners. We lived just far enough away that we didn't see them but for a few weekends out of the year. When we did, there was always an after-church supper to be had before we would pile into the car, sleepily full, and head home late in the afternoon, our faces yellowed by the vibrant setting sun shining through the front windshield of the car.
I remember biscuits and white bread. I don't even think they were homemade -- the convenience of the grocery store was upon them -- but I know the jam was homemade because I distinctly remember her pear preserves. There was always a pot roast or pan-fried pork chops to be served, and if my grandfather had been out hunting, we would have fried rabbit or squirrel instead.
When my grandfather was younger he would seine net the creek that ran across his farm for shad and collect the roe, and he would climb into the rafters of the barn and collect squabs when they were big enough and before they could fly. My grandparents might have been country frugal, but there was no lack of variety or creativity.
One of the things I remember most is my grandfather's love of fishing. He would hook his small fishing boat to his car and head north to the Great Lakes at least once a year to fish for perch and walleye.
At the end of the day he would patiently clean a big mess of yellow lake perch the size of his hand and bring them home to freeze in the chest freezer in the garage. The freezer was a real luxury -- my grandmother could now pan fry a batch of the small filets whenever the whim came upon her.
Pan Fried Red Snapper with Tarragon Tartar Sauce
I remember those tiny delicate filets with their crisp brown exterior and the tender white flesh hidden inside. It wasn't until years later when I was a line cook at a small French restaurant, where we served breaded pan-fried walleye, that I truly understood how great this dish can be. It's a classic French bistro dish if there ever was one, and a method of cooking loved the world over and embedded in every culture.
We had a specific way to cook the fresh walleye at the restaurant. We used clarified butter and bread crumbs made from stale croissants and sourdough that we sifted after it was ground to ensure a fine and uniform crumb. It was amazing.
I've made this dish over a thousand times while on the line and never have I found a better, to my liking at least, way of cooking it. Every time, and I mean every time, as I take the first bite I always think of my grandmother, her cast iron fryer on the stove, and her standing over it in her apron, making a Sunday dinner for the whole family.
