This is Lucius:
He is an APT that is around 4.5 yrs old and is currently looking for a new home. First and foremost I must say that placing him with someone is the last thing I want to do but it is necessary. Due to expenses, living arrangements and the fact that he spends most of his day in a crate I feel he will be better off with a new family.
He spends all that time in his crate due to a fight with my bulldog in October. I have been crating/rotating since. I was very lucky that we narrowly avoided vet visits for both as I would not have had the cash/credit to cover it! So him splitting the time "out" with the bulldog added to the time I am not home he is in his crate much more than I would prefer.
I have never known him to be dog aggressive in the least. He has never had an issue before or since (though as I said he is not allowed near the bulldog any more) and doesn't have any issues with any of the other (4) dogs in the house. I don't know if it is just because the bulldog is intact and it is some type of hormonal thing or what. Unfortunately I do not have the means to have a better kennel type setup that they could each be out and separate because I would do it.
On the brighter side he is an absolute joy otherwise. He behaves well on leash (even better if needed with a pinch), he never has any accidents in the house and will hold it as long as he needs to. He is crate trained (obviously) but a regular Vari-kennel will not hold him if he wants out. He absolutely loves to curl up on the couch and stay there all day. He will eat whatever food you put in his bowl and all of it. He does not do well on grain foods, he gets very dry flaky skin. He is a VERY fast runner and can jump pretty high as well. He respects fences (we have a 3 footer). No major health issues in the past. He will destroy most toys in a second (what pity wont), and occasionally he will get into something he shouldn't have and chew it up, but its a non issue if there isn't stuff laying around.
I am sure I am missing lots of other good info so feel free to ask me anything! Thanks for reading.

The readers of the most popular German RC car magazine "amt – auto model + technik" have voted HPI's Savage RTR as:
"Car of the year 2004 "This success follows a long history of HPI cars in the amt awards. Since 2000 HPI has had one of their cars in the Top 3. As this is an award decided by the readers, HPI is very proud of the tribute paid to the Savage by the German readers. It also reflects a great success of LRP-Electronic, the German HPI distributor, in promoting and supplying HPI cars in Germany and Austria. All cars tested by amt in the last year have been competing for the title with the HPI Savage 21 RTR grabbing the honours in the nitro off road category with a huge gap over second place. The Savage 25 RTR has been reviewed by the amt testers recently and we are confident of success again next year! HPI want to thank all German readers of the amt magazine for this award!

- 1 aMember Pro Web API (REST)
- 2 Samples
- 3 Available REST Controllers
aMember Pro Web API (REST)
Since 4.2.6 release aMember Pro provides web api based on REST principles. It allows to fetch and submit information about users, products and payments. It is easy to extend and use, and we expect that list of interfaces will be extended soon.
Enabling of REST API
Go to aMember CP -> Setup -> Plugins, and enable "api" module. If your aMember installation has no "api" module available, you can get it for free in the members area
Once the module is enabled, scroll down and find an admin menu item Remote Api Permissions. Click New Record. You will see a form to fill - your comment about the access key, a generated access key itself, and list of checkboxes describing what system calls is available for given access key. Check necessary calls and Save.
Fetching list of users via Web API
To try it out, open in your browser http://example.com/amember/api/users?_key=APIKEY
You will see first 20 user records in JSON format and total number of users in _total variable
You can pass additional parameters to control output:
- _format
- Either: json (default), xml or serialize
- _count
- Number of records per page (default: 20, max: 1000)
- _page
- Page of output (default: 0 - the first page)
- _filter[FIELDNAME]
- Adds a WHERE condition for FIELDNAME. If search value contains % it is considered as pattern for SQL LIKE expression, else SQL = condition is used. If several filters provided, it will be concatenated in SQL AND expression.
- _nested[]
- Requests to include nested records into dataset. For example, if you are accessing users database via REST, you can do it like this:
http://example.com/amember/api/users?_key=APIKEY&format=xml&_nested[]=invoices&_nested[]=accessThis will include user's invoices and access records into output. List of available nested tables is unique to each record type.
Adding users via Web API
To add a customer via Web API, you have to use HTTP POST method. There is a sample call to add a user to database:
POST /amember/api/users email@example.com&name_f=John&name_l=Smith&_format=xml
in case of success it will return added user record.
Updating users via Web API
To update a customer via Web API, you have to either use HTTP PUT method, or make POST and pass _method=PUT parameter with your request. There is a sample call to update a user to database:
PUT /amember/api/users/22 _key=APIKEY&name_f=NewName&pass=1111
in case of success it will return updated user record with first name set to "NewName" and the password set to 1111. Other user fields will be kept untouched. The following call gives the same result:
POST /amember/api/users/22 _method=PUT&_key=APIKEY&name_f=NewName&pass=1111
Deleting users via Web API
To remove a customer via Web API, you have to either use HTTP DELETE method, or make POST and pass _method=DELETE parameter with your request. There is a sample call to add a user to database:
DELETE /amember/api/users/22 _key=APIKEY
in case of success it will return deleted user record as look like before deletion.

Tomorrow the five presidents of Chemeketa Community College, Clackamas Community College, Mt. Hood Community College, Portland Community College and Portland State University will sign a historic agreement to integrate student admissions and enrollment, academic planning and support services. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing event will take place in Portland State's Urban Center, 506 SW Mill, 2nd floor Gallery, at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21.
The MOU will form the Portland Area Higher Education Consortium, signifying a mutual pledge of five of Oregon's largest education institutions to provide greater access to courses and degrees for students without having to negotiate multiple systems, and a more coordinated delivery of educational programs in the region. Students will be able to move freely among all five schools, taking advantage of where and when courses are offered at each school, and what they need to complete their educational goals.
"A student at one school may be a student at all five if he or she wishes" said Joe Johnson, president of Clackamas Community College. "And we will integrate our admissions, enrollment, and financial aid systems to accommodate them."
The beginnings of the Consortium started in 1997 when Clackamas and Portland State signed an agreement allowing students to be jointly admitted to both schools. With the development of several more such agreements the presidents of the five institutions met in 2003 to discuss ways in which further cooperation could serve students even more, and better utilize scarce resources in an efficient and effective way.
"People in the region expect us to work together, coordinating our efforts, and eliminating duplication and unnecessary steps to a degree," said Preston Pulliams, president of Portland Community College.
Gretchen Schuette, president of Chemeketa Community College, a member of the OSHE Board, and chair of the Governor's workgroup on Excellence in Delivery and Productivity, sees this agreement as one that fits with the goals of other state initiatives. "We need to increase access, create clear pathways to degrees and certificates, and facilitate in every way possible our students attaining their educational goals, whether that is at a community college or a university."
The MOU agreed to by each school focuses on integrated admissions and registration for students, and coordinated financial aid and advising. The agreement also calls for joint academic planning, the sharing of classroom facilities where possible, and the opportunity for students to complete a four year degree from PSU while remaining on the community college campus.
"Our biggest challenge right now is sharing the student data we need among all five schools," said Robert Silverman, president of Mt. Hood Community College. "We believe we can find the resources to make this happen."
"This consortium is a model for Oregon and for the nation, in providing seamless education between universities and their community college partners," said Daniel O. Bernstine, president of Portland State who has long pushed for greater articulation with the area community colleges. "What makes this possible is the willingness of each school to make that extra effort on behalf of students."
Students within the consortium schools already are benefiting from joint enrollment agreements and single financial aid packages. It is expected that by next summer a single application and registration process will be in place. The five member schools have already been meeting for over a year to coordinate academic offerings and align curricular offerings.

Olly Murs: Murder on the Dancefloor
Olly Murs has the cheeky-chappy pop persona all sewn up, but there's a lot more to the X-factor alumnus than his wink and grin – and the pressure is on to progress as an artist
If you had told Olly Murs this time four years ago that he would be an internationally successful pop star, he probably would have tipped his pork-pie hat at you with a wink and a mischievous grin. Or at least, that's what you imagine he would do; it's hard to decipher just how much of Murs's personality is his own, and how much has been molded to fit the "cheeky chappy" persona that Robbie Williams once made his own.
It's a cynical way to look at things, perhaps – but to his credit, Murs does seem less brainwashed by the starry-eyed industry jargon that most X Factor alumni we've spoken to in the past. It's been just over three years since he appeared on The X Factor , all dazzling smiles, old-fashioned braces and nice-guy charm. Before that, his biggest claim to fame had been appearing as a contestant on Deal or No Deal in 2007 (where he ended up with just £10 to his name).
Still, as Noel Edmonds predicted with a conciliatory pat on the back, he "did not have failure written over [him]". Murs's musical career has been infinitely more fruitful than his game show one: three albums down the line, the Essex boy is one of the biggest success stories to emerge from The X Factor .
Two weeks ago, he appeared alongside some of the biggest names in British showbiz (wearing a wedding dress, to boot) for a Comic Relief sketch. He is currently selling out arena dates across Britain and Ireland on the back of his huge third album. Not bad for a chap who worked in recruitment consultancy before his big break.
"Have I changed?" he says, slouched in a noisy corner of his dressing room in Birmingham, where his luxury tour bus has taken him. "Yeah, I think I have changed. I don't think it's for the worse, but I think when life changes around you so drastically, your way of living changes, too.
"But I don't think I'm any different to the person I was before; I think that I've just adapted to a new life, really. I'm more confident in myself, I'm more self-assured, but not in an arrogant or cocky way – I just know what I wanna do much more. I think when you find a job that you love and when you're good at something, it just makes you more confident."
He puts his success down to hard work, something that he says many X Factor contestants – naming no names, of course – have shied away from in the past.
"I think what the contestants forget is that when the show finishes, you're not this massive star – you've gotta work for it . You can't just expect to walk off the show and everyone to bow down for you, just because you've been on TV for three or four weeks.
"A lot of the contestants now get treated like they're superstars, like they're massive and have sold millions of records and are huge. I think that's the difference with the likes of myself, Cher Lloyd, One Direction, JLS; you have to earn the right to have success."
His involvement with the show after he appeared as a contestant (he has co-presented spin-off "after-party" The Xtra Factor for the past two years) means that his name is perhaps more synonymous with the show than previous contestants – has that made the attachment difficult to shake?
He pauses, carefully choosing his words.
"I think it's a great springboard for any artist. Personally, I haven't abused it – I enjoyed the show and it gave me an amazing platform, but I've had to work my arse off for the last 3½ years to get to where I am.
"It's amazing for anyone who wants to be a singer and have an amazing career and wants to get into music, but the thing is when they finish the show, it's not the be all and end all. You've gotta create something for yourself; no one's gonna sit there and hold your hand.
"You've only gotta look at what One Direction have achieved – they've worked really hard to get to where they are and they're the biggest band in the world right now."
Selling millions of albums doesn't make you immune to criticism, though. Does he read reviews?
"I have in the past," he admits. "I think it's good sometimes to hear what other people think of your performance, if they've got constructive criticism. I think when they're mean and more vindictive and it's more personal, that annoys me more than anything, because they don't know me. So if you're gonna be critical of the music and say 'I don't like the music because it's rubbish, it's this and it's that', then fair enough, I don't mind that. It's when they get personal about my personality and who I am, I think that's out of order. When it becomes a personal vendetta against you, I think that's a bit harsh."
Who couldn't like Olly Murs? Like the aforementioned Williams, he has tapped into the likeable-pop-star-with-a-twinkle-in- his-eye market – the kind of bloke that guys want to be mates with and girls could bring home to their mum (whom he'd probably charm, too).
He is the sort of pop star that is easier for haters to ignore than to launch a campaign of hostility against (Justin Bieber should be so lucky).
Still, despite the multi-platinum albums and the general good will directed toward Murs, he says that the pressure is on to progress as an artist.
"I see myself as a pop star, for sure," he says, "but I don't look at anyone else and say, 'this is what I wanna do'. I just try to do my own thing, and if it works, it works. I feel like if you do pop music, then you should be able to be creative and try all different kinds of music out, and I think that's what I've done. Dance With Me Tonight was a very old-school Motown record; Heart Skips a Beat was a much dancier record; Please Let Me Go was more reggae and had a bit more of a ska feel to it; Army of Two has more of a traditional pop sound to it . . .
"I think you've got to evolve as an artist by trying different things out, and I think that's what I've done in the last couple of years. And I'll continue to do that throughout my career."
In the past few years, Murs's US profile has grown, following a tour with pals One Direction, a high-profile friendship with Robbie Williams and the slow-burning nature of some of his singles. He tells of his delight at Troublemaker slowly climbing the US iTunes charts, while a recently filmed cameo on 90210 will soon air, further augmenting his name with US audiences.
"My expectations of America . . . well, I haven't got any, really," he says, shrugging. "We're just gonna go over there and see how it goes. I'm gonna spend a bit of time there, but I've got other markets [to think of]. But there's lots of good things happening at the moment, so I'm really pleased. It's working really well."
Given that the newest entries in today's pop world are increasingly young, will his comparatively ancient age – he is 29 in May – be damaging to his image?
"Nah, nah, not at all," he insists. "I don't think age even comes into question, it all depends on the market you're aiming for. You've only gotta look at Robbie, look at Justin Timberlake; they're in their 30s. I'm 28 and I've got a great young fan base as well as an adult fan base. It all comes down to music, at the end of the day.
"If people want me here, then people will continue to buy my records. And if they don't, well I'm quite happy to go back to Essex and live a normal life. That's not a problem."
Could he really go back to a normal life after tasting pop stardom? Perhaps not, but there are other options already available to him should his music career suddenly sour.
Already proven as a presenter, he is open to the possibility of more TV and acting work – but as you might expect from one of pop's nice guys, his main aim for the next decade is to simply be happy. Ahhhhh.
"In 10 years time, I'll be close to 40, so I hope to be in a position where I'm financially stable and I've got a great family and friends behind me," he proclaims. "Hopefully married, hopefully kids, that I'm enjoying singing and that people still like me. If I'm still doing tours, still performing at this level, then I'd be delighted – but you just never know.
"I think you always want to do better and get more number ones and keep being successful and keep touring. It's a job at the end of the day and I don't want this to end. If it started to end and was rubbish and I couldn't do it any more, I'd be annoyed. I love what I do and I'll continue to do this for the rest of my life.
"Or," he says, another mischievous grin practically palpable over the phone line, "until people get fed up with me."

Illegal immigrants can now apply for state-funded scholarships and aid at state universities after Gov. Jerry Brown announced Saturday that he has signed the second half of a legislative package targeting such students.
AB131 by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, is the second half of the California Dream Act. Brown signed the first half of the package in July, which approved private scholarships and loans for students who are illegal immigrants.
Under current law, illegal immigrant students who have graduated from a California high school and can prove they're on the path to legalize their immigration status can pay resident tuition rates. The bill would allow these students to apply for state aid.
The contentious second half of the package requires that immigrant students meet the same requirements as all other students applying for financial aid at state universities but specifies that they only qualify for financial aid after all the other legal residents have applied.
The bills are different from the federal Dream Act, which includes a path to citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
Brown says the bill expands educational opportunities for all qualified students.
"Going to college is a dream that promises intellectual excitement and creative thinking," Brown said. "The Dream Act benefits us all by giving top students a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us."
Critics of the bills say it undermines immigration laws and encourages illegal immigration by granting access to state resources reserved for legal residents. Many Republican lawmakers say legal students have had their grants cut in light of recent budget cuts to higher education.
Supporters argue that children whose were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents shouldn't be punished.
The state Department of Finance estimates that 1 percent of all Cal Grant funds, the state student financial aid program, will be affected by the legislative package when it goes into effect in January 2013. The department says that 2,500 students would qualify for aid under the bill and estimates the costs to equal $14.5 million of a $1.4 billion program.

der hat so eine hübsche Freundin und dann kommt da so ein Vieh rein.. xD
This is one HOT VIDEO !!!!!!! we need more like this one....
I am jerking off ::::
The "wife" is beautiful, the second woman was pretty nice herself. I was in a situation like this except it was my aunt (34) and her friend (35) when I was 19. I was visiting my aunt's house on spring break. She was out with her female friend (I knew my aunt also liked women). They were suppose to be gone the whole day, so I was sunning by the pool in the nude. They come is and catch me nude. My aunt runs up to me, gives me this big hug, while getting her legs positioned to cradle my dick next to her pussy. We were humping some, and her friend stripped and joined us. We did have quite a time for the next few days. I visited my aunt often after that, sometimes just us, sometimes we included her friend.
are u horny
let us enjoy sex
This really is one of the hottest videos on this site. They are all clearly attracted to each other and feeling the energy, unlike so many staged "amateur" vids on the internet.

I was in my late 30 s - and looked better than this boring guy ! Miss our very sensual days. Married now.... to A.J. [you know her) BP
scharfe Sache
Cannot get video to play. No,t audable
Like that
proof that guys don't satisfy the female. notice the ladies go at it after the guy spills.
At 12:02 she was not ready to fuck. Both women gave him amazing blow jobs. He DID NOT eat pussy of either one of them. This, like most porn videos, is all about a man getting stimulated to orgasm, this time by two women.
One of the best videos I see, thats really horny !
Excelent mature blonde
At 12:08 we do not know she is ready to fuck because he put his cock into her pussy.
I love you
This is supper hot!!!!! I need to ask wife if we met include her friend???????
echt geil mit zwei solch scharfen Frauen
i could not cum. he struggled too.
I would not struggle xx
Jaqueline is the name of the short haired
Were you live booo
this makesme horney
love a happy threesome ..
hier zählt nur ficken...
This one is perfect as it shows two very sexy women for different reasons. One is slim, beautiful and sexy and the other is sexy through her attitude and lovely big thighs. Perfect combination that would make any man's cock burst his load with great force in quick time. I hope before I die I have a threesome like this.
Friend was playing with my boner while we were watching this, and when he started fucking the short-haired brunette, I popped my load. She is so hot!
Any idea who the short haired woman is?
Bit of a shambles, they get in others way.
the short hair woman is so fucking hot….
Nice foreplay but missionary position at 12 minutes and 3 seconds could have shown HER putting HIS penis into HER vagina.
Au Mann
I would loved to have the second woman sit on my face while the wife rode my cock, I love her big thighs.
A good mix of young and older. The young has the rawness and the older has the experience to induce multiple cums from the couple and from my heavy load balls which spewed sauce as I watched.
Wow that was amazing
Nice. Very hot. Would be nice to have the older gal suck on my cock with her tongue stud.
Good, but the younger girl is too anxious... needs to relax in the lovemaking.
Waht's the young girl's name?
Very nice treesome!!!
What's the young girl's name?
Lovely video. I appreciate the comments made by those who recognize that all three of the "actors" like and respect each other. Please go easy in commenting on the guy. It isn't easy to be on camera and do this, and the women usually look better together, in any case. What's new about that?
great movie how can i get a job like this
Mr. Bean got some GOOOOOD nookie!
Lucky fucker... That younger chick is smoking....
ich hasse den wixer zu gerne mal eins inne fresse ballern aber mit ner faust!!
that girl is so fucking hot i wish i was in that film with them my nuts have just unloaded
bläst gut die alte . hat aber hänge matten
German always sounds so clinical.... by the time they started, I thought I had just finished a college lecture,... I was falling asleep. Just get down to the fucking already! Once they did.... OMG! I like the lips on the young girl, and the skills of the old bitch.
Mamma che figa la ragazza! Pur di scoparmela mi farei volentieri una cosa a tre con me al posto dell'altra donna
Wow, sindn die geil. Würde die kleine gerne mal ficken.
oh it made me just cum
i would fuck the old woman, she's much hotter
wow the hot old babe knows how to eat some young pussy!!!!!
Ha, it's the karate kid in porn!
My favorite porno, I love the girls, I just they were in my bed.
totally hot, my fantisy!!!!!
the wife is the most delicious girl on youporn. I would ask her for a threesome, too lol The "surprise" is never ever a "cute mouse" lol
that guy's girlfriend ... to me she has Natalie Wood's eyes...sexy....sexy video
really amateur. amazing
the "present" looks like a rinozeros
Nice 3some!
whos that girl? So sexy.
Amazing that the guy has two hot girls, amazing sex, yet has to squeeze the fuck out of his cock, in a desperate attempt to finish off and shoot his load, as though the experience is as boring as a flick through his grandmothers gardening catalogue.
min. 7.24 the best!
Im guessing these lesbos just pick him up for a group sex randomly.that girl is too freakin hot to be a dork gf.wish i was that dork minus the older woman.
Who is the skinny girl? She's amazing, I can't get enough of her, want to see her in more action. Incredible.

Try Hypnotic Massage Therapy Today
Use the natural mind-body connection for deep physical and mental relaxation.
Do you enjoy a full body massage but can't have one as often as you'd like?
Would you like to experience deep physical and mental relaxation without having to leave your home or desk?
Many would agree that there's nothing better than massage therapy for deep, cleansing, healing, relaxation. A good massage makes your muscles tingle and your mind calm.
With hypnosis, you can experience the relaxation of massage therapy in your own time and space, and let's be blunt, at a much lower cost.
Being 'uptight' literally means you are holding rigidity and tension in your muscles, usually causing discomfort, poor posture and tiredness. Massage therapy has all kinds of benefits: it feels good, it 'loosens' you up, reduces stress and tension in the body, calms the nervous system and diminishes anxiety.
Massage clears your mind, increases blood flow to muscles and organs and generally makes you feel and look great too.
Hypnosis and massage
The mind and body are intricately connected and interwoven and so your hypnotic imagination can have powerful physical benefits.
For example, in hypnosis when people imagine holding their hands up to an open fire, the hands can actually heat up due to increased blood flow to the hands.
Hypnotically experiencing exercise can change blood flow and even, according to research [1], build muscle density. This powerful mind-body connection is why you can get the physical benefits of a massage without anyone lifting a finger-tip.
And you can experience this wonderful hypnotic massage session as often as you like. You will be guided gently into relaxing hypnosis and you will feel;
- any tension melting away
- an all over warmth from improved blood flow
- a calmer, clearer mind
- excited that you experience this as often as you like, even daily
You can't always get to a masseur but this session can always help you feel as if you've had a wonderfully relaxing, soothing and invigorating massage.
Download Relaxing Hypnotic Massage now and experience the amazing power of your own mind to make you feel beautifully relaxed. You can listen on your computer or device or via our free app which you can access when you have completed your purchase.
[1] Erin M. Shackell and Lionel G. Standing at Bishop's University divided folk into three groups: Those who exercised, those who imagined they exercised and those who did no exercise or imagining. The control group, who didn't do anything, saw no gains in strength. The exercise group, who trained three times a week, saw a 28% gain in strength. The group who did not exercise, but rather thought about exercising experienced nearly the same gains in strength and muscle fibre density as the exercise group (24%)

When Time-Of-Use Costs Too Much
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 04, 2007
The California Solar Initiative (CSI) has run into some unexpected hurdles for certain residential customers planning to install PV modules on their homes. Under the terms for those requesting rebates, households are required to switch from their standard billing schedule to a time-of-use (TOU) schedule. In certain cases, a household will experience higher costs and reduced savings by making this switch.

National Databases: Collecting Student-Specific
Data is unnecessary and Orwellian
William A. Estrada, Esq.
Director of Federal Relations
Will Estrada has been leading our efforts to defend homeschooling on Capitol Hill since 2006. As the oldest of eight kids, and a homeschool graduate who married a homeschool graduate, he has a passion for protecting homeschool freedom. Read more >>
HSLDA has previously written articles expressing concerns with the Common Core Standards established in 2009 and the move toward national standards, curriculum, and tests.
A related concern is the rise of state databases of student-specific data, and the recent push toward aligning them between states. We believe that this will lead to a national database of student-specific data.
Home School Legal Defense Association has long opposed the creation of a national database of student-specific data. We believe that such national databases threaten the privacy of students, could be abused by government officials or business interests that may gain access to the data, threaten the safety of young people if their data is breached, and are not necessary in order to educate young people. Education should be about instilling academic knowledge, not some Orwellian attempt to track students from pre-school through college graduation. We believe that although these databases are being advanced by individual states, they are aligned between the states, and are being funded in part through the federal government's Race to the Top program. They are becoming a de facto national database.
At this point, it does not appear that the data of students who are educated in homeschool or private school settings are being included in these databases. We are concerned, however, that as national databases grow, it will become increasingly difficult to protect the personal information of homeschool and private school students. We are also concerned by calls from some proponents of these national databases to include the personal data of homeschool students.
How Did a "National Database" Get off the Ground?
The 2009 federal stimulus bill created the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) program as "a new one-time appropriation of $53.6 billion."1 With this money, the Department of Education would award states money in exchange for a commitment to develop and use pre-kindergarten through post-secondary and career data systems, among other criteria.
$4.35 billion was given to make competitive grants under the new "Race to the Top"2 (RTTT) fund. RTTT is an ongoing competition that encourages states to compete for federal funds by making certain changes in their state education policy. The U.S. Department of Education laid out the areas of reform the federal government wanted the states to address:
- "Adopting standards and assessments that prepare students for success in college and the workplace and to compete in the global economy;
- Building data systems that measure student growth and success, and inform teachers and principals how they can improve instruction;
- Recruiting, developing, rewarding, and retaining effective teachers and principals, especially where they are needed most; and
- Turning around our lowest-achieving schools."3
The Department of Education's 2013 budget allots "$850 million for additional Race to the Top awards, an increase of $301 million over the 2012 level."4
Under RTTT, states that receive the grants are required to set up data systems where every public school student from early childhood programs to college will be identified in a system by a bar code showing student enrollment, demographics, transfers, teachers, test records, and transcripts.
While statewide data systems have been encouraged with federal grants in the past (America COMPETES Act passed by Congress in 2007), these grants were specifically for state data systems. Since 2009 states are not eligible for any RTTT funds if they do not have a data system that meets a federal standard.
In addition, in 2011 the Department of Education attached RTTT funding to its new Early Learning Challenge (ELC). ELC gives this money to states that meet standards and mandates for early education programs. Part of the standards that states must meet to receive these special funds are establishing statewide databases. Known as CEDs-Common Education Data Standards—they are "voluntary, common standards for a key set of education data elements at the early learning, k-12, and post-secondary levels developed through a national collaborative effort being led by the National Center for Educational Statistics."5
The U.S. Department of Education, through RTTT, is consistently seeking to expand the criteria for data systems. "The Secretary [of Education] is also particularly interested in applications in which States propose working together to adapt one State's statewide longitudinal data system so that it may be used, in whole or in part, by one or more other States, rather than having each State build or continue building such systems independently."6
Supporters of RTTT are correct when they say that there is not currently a central database kept by the U.S. Department of Education. However, federal funds are being used to entice states to create databases of student-specific data which are linked between states through RTTT and the ELC. These programs' strict database requirements are leading to a de facto national database that is being encouraged by the federal government and being implemented by states which are desperate for federal cash. As a result, we are seeing before our eyes the creation of a "national database" where every single public school student's personal information and academic history will be stored.
In the most recent development, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation recently announced that it was providing $100 million to support a database of student-specific data which could be accessed by any state which opted into the program. This database has the ability to track students, their educational progress, and a vast degree of personal information about every student. This database is run and operated by a company called inBloom, and nine states (Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Massachusetts) have already uploaded student information into this database. The only jurisdiction where we have verified that homeschool student data is being included is New York City school district. We are continuing to investigate the other states.
What's so Bad about a National Database Anyway?
HSLDA believes that these state databases of student-specific data which are funded in part by RTTT and the ELC violate the spirit—if not the actual intent—of federal law banning national databases, which was part of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) found at 20 U.S.C. § 7911. Due to this federal law, as well as concerns about the growth of these national databases, HSLDA filed public comments opposing the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund's use of federal funds to support state databases of student-specific data due to privacy concerns.
In May of 2011, HSLDA also filed public commentsin response to a proposed rule change to regulations governing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). FERPA is the federal law that protects the privacy of student-specific data. However, HSLDA believes that the rule change put in place December of 2011 weakened the privacy of student-specific data. The U.S. Department of Education enacted these regulatory changes to make it easier for states and private companies—like inBloom—to create databases of student specific data and then share the information between states.
A national database of student-specific data is very concerning for many reasons. The national databases being created now include detailed records of students, including race, gender, birth information, learning disabilities, detailed academic records, and much more. This information is being collected soon after birth, all the way through graduation from college.
The more personal information that is included, the greater the danger to the student's privacy and safety if the data is breached. Will certain data make it harder for students to get into higher education? Will it be disclosed to government employers, or even private employers?
HSLDA believes that each student is unique, with far more to offer society than just the sum of their academic years. Government tracking students from soon after birth until they graduate from college is Orwellian and seems like a "Big Brother" mentality, and has no place in a free society.
It is important to note that there are many reasons for aggregated student data to be available. Such data is helpful for researchers, and it is reported widely so that parents and policy makers can determine how students are doing academically. But HSLDA believes that there are very little reasons for the government to track student-specific data.
Are these National Databases Including Information on Homeschool Students?
While we have not heard of homeschool information being uploaded in these new databases, we have been told that it is capable of storing private school and homeschool records. In addition, what will happen if a parent removes their child from public school in order to homeschool him or her? As far as we can determine right now, there is no mechanism for that student's personal information to be deleted from the national database.
What Can I Do to Stop this National Database?
The privacy of our children is one of the most important things to parents. The rise of national databases is justifiably concerning. At the federal level, HSLDA continues to work to defund and eliminate Race to the Top, the Early Learning Challenge, and other federal programs that are using federal funds—your tax dollars—to entice the states into creating national databases in exchange for federal grants. However, since RTTT and the ELC are priorities of the Obama administration, it will be difficult to end these programs.
The states, however, can certainly reject these federal funds in order to safeguard student data. We encourage you to contact your state legislators, including your state's governor, to discuss this issue with them. Ask them about their position on the issue. Find your governor's current information here. And urge your state officials to reject these national databases of student-specific data.

By Karl Baumgarten, KF9, Costa Rica
In the last 5 years, financial innovation has spread rapidly to the field of microfinance. What previously was better coined micro-credit is starting to live up to its name, with more and more MFIs starting to offer a full gambit of financial services: microinsurance, microsavings, remittances and others. Technology is enabling these products to spread faster and further. But just what are the impacts of these products and how can we be sure that microfinance is really doing all that its rosy image implies? One increasingly popular method is a randomized control trial, where individuals are randomly divided into treatment and control groups to evaluate the impacts of various development interventions. The participants are surveyed at the beginning of the experiment and again at the end. As the treatment and control groups are randomly chosen, the differences between them at the end of the period can be attributed to that treatment/intervention.
Below are a few interesting products and findings I have come across recently:
1. So who are these crafty farmers playing Wall Street? I digress, that was so you'd click on the link. Still, the Centre for Microfinance (CMF) is doing something similar. They are evaluating the impacts of a product that would allow farmers to "play" the commodities futures markets with their planting decisions. Representatives in the treatment villages receive a weekly text message about the futures and spot prices (prices of crops traded on international commodity exchanges) of local crops. This information is posted in local meeting places and farmers can decide whether to use this pricing information to change their planting decisions (In the past planting decisions were based on either last year's harvest price or the current local prices, both noisy indicators). The farmers in these villages were also trained how to interpret these prices and what they mean. In the first rounds of this study, Shawn Cole (Harvard) and CMF found that providing the futures prices affected planting decisions of nearly 40% of those surveyed. Soon they will be testing the continued impacts of this information provided via mobile phone directly to individual farmers. Read more
One can only imagine the types of information that could and should be provided to rural farmers in the developing world. Imagine microfinance loans for mobile phones that included a daily SMS about current weather predictions, future and spot prices of local crops, prices in local markets and education about new fertilizer methods. In a village with quality primary education, the kids could read the messages to those parents who were illiterate. Then those farmers could receive low cost remittances on the very same phone from their extended family working in the city. Now, a for-profit doctor partners with this MFI, agreeing to diagnose health issues that are reported by text and photo message. What could have been an expensive trip to the doctor is resolved with some simple local treatments and a .30 text message. The possibilities are endless.
2. In 2007 women in the Philippines at the Green Bank of Caraga were offered a commitment savings account which allowed them to set a savings goal and deposit money towards it on a monthly basis. These same clients were not allowed to withdraw the money until they had reached their goal. Researchers at Innovations for Poverty Action found that the women who used this product saw an increase in their decision making power and accumulation of female oriented assets. That is, this savings account helped women have more say in household decisions about which items to buy. This type of innovative financial product is integral if microfinance is really to help empower women. Read More
3. Recent innovations in the microinsurance industry have led to the development of rainfall insurance, a product which pays out depending on levels of rainfall. SEWA (Self-Employed Womens Association) is currently offering rainfall insurance that pays a set amount depending on the severity of rain shortage. In the past, government programs attempted to offer crop insurance though this pursuit failed spectacularly. Like all insurance, farmers had an incentive to put in less effort after buying the insurance and riskier clients were more likely to buy the coverage. Additionally, evaluating claims was inherently difficult.
In the case of India, nearly 500 million people rely on agriculture as their main source of income and nearly all these farmers depend on the variable monsoon. When the monsoon fails, work often dries up (no pun intended) for whole villages and households are forced to sell off their productive assets. Micro crop insurance can help eliminate these asset sell offs, ensuring households don't fall back into a poverty trap. Read More
Furthermore, this type of insurance could be securitized (bundled into stock) and sold to investors. Imagine your 401k with some micro weather insurance exposure so when the next bubble pops, you're hoping for rain in the Hindi Belt. Just make sure our favorite insurance company AIG hasn't touched it.
4. Switching gears, what do you think is the most cost effective way to get children to stay in school in the developing world? Is it a midday meal to ensure kids stick around past lunch? How about a laptop so their education feels fun and relevant? Maybe a school voucher for parents that supplements the income kids would be earning if they weren't in school? Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. Researchers are finding that the simplest and least costly way to keep kids in school is deworming.
Parasitic worms affect nearly 2 billion people worldwide, with children disproportionately affected. Michael Kremer (Harvard) studied the impacts of mass deworming in Kenya and India (.50 per student) and found increases in attendance of 25% and 20% respectively. The program also had significant spillover effects, with infection rates reduced for miles around the schools that received treatment. While deworming lacks the silicon appeal of the "Laptop for every kid" campaign, this evidence points to the need for a more concerted effort to battle those nasty little parastic buggers.
Apart from deworming, there are some other interesting technology based solutions being tested to improve teacher attendence. Tragically in the developing world, getting teachers to show up to school is one of the more pressing problems. Ester Duflo, a development economist at MIT, tested the impact of a program in India seeking to improve teacher attendance. In this program, teachers were required to take date stamped pictures with students each day to receive pay. Teacher attendance rose 50% and students test scores showed a significant improvement.
It is sometimes these simple, technology based solutions that have real potential to improve the state of primary education in the developing world.
5. With the increasing commercialization of microfinance, MFIs often forgo their social programs to attract international funding sources who demand sustainability and return on equity. Unfortunately, it is often these very programs that have real potential to improve the livelihoods of their clients. One of the more important programs for microfinance clients is business education. Basic business practices such as keeping track of revenues and costs are rarely employed in the developing world. Business education can help ensure these clients understand both their loans and better business methods. Researchers at Innovations for Poverty Action studied the impacts of business education at Kiva's very own field partner, Finca Peru. They found that not only did business education improve business knowledge and revenues, it also improved repayment rates and client retention. Read More
This is evidence that even those commercially minded MFIs can provide sustainable programs to educate their clients.
Touché to those of you who made it through all that and hopefully it excited the little geek inside. Microfinance is a dynamic sector but unfortunately, those MFIs who are the most innovative and socially conscious are often the very same ones who struggle to obtain commercial funding. Make your Kiva dollars count by researching Kiva's partner pages and loaning to those clients who are receiving the full gambit of financial services they deserve.

Russian Meteorite Lands at Field Museum
On February 15, 2013 a fireball exploded over the Chelyabinsk district of Russia. The shock wave caused significant damage and injuries to many in the area. This meteor was the largest object to fall on Earth in almost 100 years, with an estimated mass of about 11,000 metric tons. On April 9, The Field Museum received several pieces of the Chelyabinsk Meteorite totaling about two pounds thanks to a generous donation from meteorite collector Terry Boudreaux. The meteorite pieces will be housed in the Museum's Robert A. Pritkzer Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies, which holds more than 6,500 meteorites, making it the largest non-government meteorite collection in the world. The Chelyabinsk Meteorite, like all meteorites in the Museum's collection, will be available for study to scientists from all over the world. The Chelyabinsk Meteorite is now on display in the Museum's new "Science Newsflash" exhibition case in Stanley Field Hall.

Even after trade, Trumbo spends holidays with fans
Slugger attended annual Children's Holiday Party, despite being dealt to D-backs
Mark Trumbo's entire world had been turned upside down. It was Dec. 10, and he had just been traded for the first time in his life, going to the D-backs because the Angels badly needed the cost-controlled pitching his power and age could bring back. Trumbo was leaving his hometown team, going to a new state and a new league and a new clubhouse and a new set of expectations.
But when he called the Angels' public-relations department shortly after the three-team deal was announced, the 27-year-old slugger had just one question:
Can I still attend the holiday party?
Trumbo was referring to the Angels' annual Children's Holiday Party at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney, which he was scheduled to attend the following day but was no longer expected to because, you know, he wasn't part of the team anymore.
But Trumbo had been taking part in this event since his Minor League days. It was, as he said, "kind of ingrained in me," like his Southern California roots and his admiration for the franchise that taught him to love baseball.
And so, the following afternoon, he surprisingly showed up, alongside his now ex-teammate and good friend Hank Conger and some former players he grew up watching -- Chuck Finley, Adam Kennedy and Mark Langston.
It was just like old times, except this year Trumbo was the only one among them without an Angels jersey on.
"Standing at home plate at the end of last year, I didn't know that would be my last at-bat in the foreseeable future as an Angel," Trumbo said in a phone conversation. "You just never know. But this is something I had control over, I guess. I felt like the right thing to do would be to go, to sign some autographs and say hi to the kids and say hi to all the other guys who were going and kind of do one last thing to say thanks for the opportunity that I got in Anaheim."
The Angels didn't want to trade Trumbo, but they couldn't say no to acquiring two young, controllable left-handed starters in Tyler Skaggs (from the D-backs) and Hector Santiago (White Sox). Trumbo understood. And the next afternoon, the Villa Park High School product said goodbye in his own way -- by reading Christmas stories, signing autographs and giving high-fives to 200 or so under-served children from his own backyard.
"I did expect it to be maybe a tad strange, but then again, it would only be the adults that would probably find it a little bit strange, because the kids are just happy to be there," Trumbo said. "It was cool. It was a little strange not putting the uniform on, but it was good nonetheless. I went in with an open mind, hoping for a good experience, and that's exactly how it turned out."
Twenty-four hours earlier, Trumbo was training with Conger, Kennedy and Peter Bourjos -- now with the Cardinals -- at Constant Performance in Anaheim, when his cell phone rang with the news that he was moving to Arizona, to play left field and to hit behind Paul Goldschmidt.
Angels broadcaster Jose Mota and radio play-by-play man Terry Smith left Trumbo for last during the introductions the following afternoon, and the slugger got by far the loudest applause.
"They knew that this is quite a unique thing -- a guy who's not on the team, got traded, could've been mopey," said Mota, who has been hosting the holiday party for more than a decade. "He decided, 'No, this is who I am.' You talk about showing your true colors and who you really are, I don't think it speaks any better than that action right there."
The trade isn't even two weeks old, but Trumbo has moved on in many ways. Last week, he flew to Arizona to take part in the D-backs' Winter Classic, where he met some of his new teammates, chatted with manager Kirk Gibson, wrapped a boa constrictor around his neck for a picture and got involved in an interactive Twitter chat with fans. Soon enough, he plans to buy a house near Chase Field.
Trumbo will finish his stint with the Angels as the team's leader in home runs each of the last three years, compiling 95 of them to go along with 282 RBIs from 2011-13. He is -- no matter how you feel about his on-base percentage -- the local kid who made good, going from a raw ex-pitcher drafted in the 18th round to one of the premier power hitters in the game.
Asked how he wants to be remembered by Angels fans, Trumbo said: "I always find that the best compliment I can give guys is they play the game the right way."
"Some guys are naturally more talented and put up better numbers than others, but I feel like I always gave the best effort that I did have, and hopefully the fans will remember that," he added. "You have successes, you have failures. But I did the best I could in the three years I was there, and I think quite a few people appreciate it. And I'm sure some don't, but that's what happens when you're in the spotlight."
