- City of Venice, FL
"The auditors made the comment that they did not know how I was able to deal with all the numbers needed for the GASB-34 statements - your system makes this much easier. I do not know how people are able to do this on just spreadsheets - I would not want to try (and I use Excel® all the time)."

yeah, forgot about that, i made a sil "pillowcase" for cannibal's breathable uq, a little heavier than the full sil quilt w/zipper and even the 3 piece shell i spoke about above. same idea however. the pillowcase seemed to kinda be a PITA to deal with though.
jeff, good point about the garlington taco/undercover/weathershield, a much larger piece of fabric, but is more versatile and could be used alone in summer. lots of different options here it seems.

Conference Report Card: Big 12Posted by Brian Goodman on April 25th, 2011
Brian Goodman is an RTC editor and contributor.
Year In Review
Before the start of the season, pollsters bought into Kansas State as the sexy pick to take the Big 12 in 2011 on the heels of an Elite Eight appearance in 2010. The Big 12 was not overly impressive in non-conference play, as the Wildcats fell hard to Duke in a de facto home game in Kansas City, and Missouri did the same against Georgetown in one of the more thrilling matchups of the early season.
As league play began, the preseason #3 Wildcats disappointed, starting 2-5, and the usual stalwarts of the Big 12, Kansas and Texas, rose to the top. After topping the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse in January, the Longhorns looked to be in the driver's seat, especially after Kansas was blindsided at Bramlage Coliseum to give Texas a two-game lead. However, Rick Barnes' team suffered another late-season collapse, going 2-3 to finish the regular season while the Jayhawks dusted off the competition to pull ahead to take their seventh straight conference crown.
Elsewhere in the conference, the Wildcats bounced back to end the season in third place. The middle of the conference wasn't settled until the latter stages of the season with Missouri falling lat and Texas A&M, Colorado and Nebraska treading water. Baylor underachieved, given the talented personnel in Waco, and Oklahoma State never really looked in sync. Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Iowa State all had awful seasons to finish at the bottom of the standings.
In the conference tournament final, Kansas played its best basketball of the season, topping Texas to gain some revenge entering the Big Dance. Colorado was snubbed on Selection Sunday despite beating Kansas State three times, but the Big 12 still managed to get five teams into the NCAA Tournament. However, only the Jayhawks made it out of opening weekend alive, and they fell short of expectations as they lost to Shaka Smart and the Rams' reign of BCS destruction.
Team-by-Team Grades
- Kansas (35-3, 14-2) – Losing players like Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, and Xavier Henry to the NBA Draft would set most programs back to the proverbial rebuilding mode, but not KU, where the talent keeps coming. Despite losing those top-shelf players, the Jayhawks were still tabbed to finish second in the conference. Early on, they took care of business in non-conference play while top prospect Josh Selby sat out the first nine games of the season due to NCAA sanctions. As anticipated, Marcus Morris led the team with inside dominance on his way to Conference POY honors and he and his brother were the vocal leaders of the squad. After an eye-popping debut, Selby struggled to gain a foothold in the rotation due to a foot injury and the steady contributions of Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. The Jayhawks' mettle was tested in late January, when Thomas Robinson's mother passed away, leaving him to care for his younger sister. The team was emotionally spent the next day during their game against Texas after spending the prior night consoling the sophomore. The effects of the grieving wouldn't last long, however. Rallying behind Robinson, the team's chemistry and confidence soared, and KU spent most of the season in the Top 5 thanks to a high-efficiency offense and potent defense. Kansas encountered a number of hurdles between the death of Lisa Robinson, Selby's NCAA concerns, and Tyshawn Taylor's late-season suspension, but the team looked to be at its peak when it mattered most. Kansas gained a measure of revenge by rolling Texas in the Big 12 Tournament final and entered the Big Dance as a one-seed. After the Southwest bracket parted for them, though, the Jayhawks were stunned by VCU, and the swagger, trash talk, and breaking up of huddles that characterized the last half of the season only increased the impact of the Jayhawks' fall. As was the case last season, Bill Self was left answering questions about losing to yet another mid-major in the Tournament. All-in-all, the Jayhawks won the Big 12 outright along with the conference tournament and clinched a one-seed in the Big Dance. While some may feel such marks are old hat for KU, it doesn't make them any less remarkable. The following grade may be weighted towards the final result, but Robinson's development and Tyshawn Taylor's strong play at the end of the season are positives to which Jayhawk fans can look forward. Jeff Withey, who could inherit a decent chunk of post minutes after averaging just 6.2 minutes per game as a sophomore, must improve dramatically to keep opposing big men honest. As the Morii and Selby jump to the pros and Morningstar, Reed, and Mario Little exhaust their eligibility, Self will have to string together some spring signing period magic to keep KU at the top of the conference. Since the end of the season, he's already nabbed Ben McLemore and Canadian import Braeden Anderson to go with Naadir Tharpe. The Jayhawks are currently hot on the trail of guard Trevor Lacey and are competing with Duke for the services of forward DeAndre Daniels. Conference championships come by the barrel in Lawrence, but there is no denying that the Jayhawks disappointed in failing to cut down the nets in Houston (or San Antonio, for that matter). While the departures sting, Kansas should still be able to contend for next season's Big 12 crown. GRADE: B+
- Texas A&M (24-9, 10-6) – The Aggies were not predicted to make much noise when the season started as they began the season outside of the polls. The departures of Bryan Davis and Donald Sloan were expected to leave gaping holes in Mark Turgeon's roster, but the Aggies pieced things together with streaky shooting from Khris Middleton while Nathan Walkup, David Loubeauand Kourtney Roberson led the Aggies to the nation's 12th-best offensive rebounding rate. The Aggies' season was highlighted by wins over Washington and Temple in non-conference play, and a pair of victories over Missouri in league action. A 16-1 start guided them to the Top 10, but a midseason swoon followed in which Texas A&M lost four of five. They recovered to finish on a 6-2 stretch and made the NCAA Tournament, but were bounced in a defensive battle with Florida State. As he is prone to do, Turgeon really overachieved with this squad. The Aggies should continue to trend upward in College Station next season especially in the backcourt. While BJ Holmes graduates, freshman Jamal Branch will come into the fold, and Washington transfer Elston Turner will be eligible to play next season. All of Texas A&M's big men will return (and 6'8″ redshirt freshman Daniel Alexander will be in the mix as well), though all will be counted on to improve. Expect to see a more athletic Aggie team next season, and one that should contend for the league crown. GRADE: B
- Colorado (24-14, 8-8) – The Buffaloes' final season as Big 12 members was nothing if not interesting. Tad Boyle had taken the reins in April, and fortunately for him, former head coach Jeff Bzdelik left behind a plentiful cupboard. The Buffs had one of the most underrated pro prospects from a BCS conference in sophomore Alec Burks and a great sidekick in senior Cory Higgins. The recipe for Boyle was to rely on Burks and Higgins to produce consistently high numbers and hope for enough contributions from the likes of complementary players such as Levi Knutson and Marcus Relphorde to win games. Victories over Colorado State and Indiana inspired early confidence. However, the Buffs went on to lose eight conference games, though four of them were decided by five points or fewer. Colorado flirted with the bubble for the last six weeks of the season, beating Texas, Kansas State, and Nebraska, but a loss to Iowa State was a major setback. CU arrived in Kansas City hoping to right the ship, and a win over Iowa State and the team's third victory of the season against Kansas State appeared to have done the trick. Alec Burks averaged over 25 points in three games at the Sprint Center and this writer came away as many did, convinced that Colorado had done enough to warrant an NCAA Tournament invite. The selection committee felt differently, however, and the Buffs were relegated to the NIT. Making the best of it, Colorado went on to make a run all the way to Madison Square Garden, where it lost to Alabama by one in the semifinal. Many fans hoped that Boyle might reap the benefits of an uncertain NBA environment and retain Alec Burks, in which case Colorado can be a competitive Pac-10 squad despite losing Higgins, Relphorde and Knutson to graduation. Unfortunately for the Boyle and the Colorado faithful that was not the case and they will face a very rocky transition year, with Damiene Cain and Askia Booker expected to cut their teeth on the bench as freshmen. As a first-year coach, Tad Boyle led the Buffaloes to their first winning record since 2005-06, but as the roster slowly turns over to his own footprint, the onus is on him to continue to produce. GRADE: B
- Kansas State (23-11, 10-6) – The Wildcats came in with unprecedented expectations as the Big 12 favorite and the #3 team in all the land due to Jacob Pullen's scoring ability and a core of big bodies in Curtis Kelly and Wally Judge. The season started in choppy fashion, with Frank Martin's team squeaking out games it should have handled with more ease, and KSU was outplayed in every facet imaginable in a late November test with then #1 Duke in Kansas City. Wins over Virginia Tech and Gonzaga were early feathers in the cap, but the early returns, by and large, were not what the team expected. Things worsened as Pullen and Kelly were briefly suspended the following month, and Asprilla and Judge left the program in January. Martin was left shuffling the deck, rebuilding his team in-season, and the Wildcats sat at 2-5 in Big 12 play at the end of January. When Feburary started, though, things started clicking – Pullen increased his accuracy, Rodney McGruder turned into a reliable scorer, and in the nick of time, Kelly started realizing his potential as a post threat. Kansas State's turnaround, during which it went 8-1 in its last nine Big 12 games, was highlighted by an 84-68 blowout over Kansas, who had moved into the #1 spot in the national rankings just hours before. The Wildcats would bow out to Colorado in the conference tournament and to Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament to end their season, though in the round of 32, Pullen set the school's career scoring mark, cementing his legacy as one of the Big 12's all-time greats. Pullen and Kelly are gone now and next season will depend on the development of Will Spradling, McGruder, and Jamar Samuels. Martin reached into his Miami pipeline to snag center Adrian Diaz and guard Angel Rodriguez along with 6'7″ forward Thomas Gipson, but the Wildcats figure to take a step back next season with many role players being counted on to grow into bigger responsibilities. KSU also will have to compensate for a dearth of experienced post talent. The biggest off-season development of all for the Wildcats may have been Miami opting not to interview Martin for its coaching vacancy ensuring that he will remain in Manhattan for the foreseeable future. While many were hoping at the start of the season for Kansas State to come closer to last season's outcome of an Elite Eight appearance, expectations are fluid. The Wildcats did an admirable job bouncing back, considering the obstacles of the season, and while Wisconsin is a tough out, it was not unreasonable to expect a deeper run from this crew. GRADE: B-
- Texas (28-8, 13-3) – Rick Barnes had a high-quality stable of talent yet again, welcoming Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph to join Jordan Hamilton as the core of the Longhorns. Losing to USC in LA was certainly a blemish in non-league play, but there was no shame in losing to Pittsburgh at Madison Square Garden. Texas went on to drop an overtime heartbreaker to eventual national champion UConn at home, but otherwise handled non-conference play well. Behind the strength of dynamic defense (UT had three of the Big 12's top 11 rebounders, and Thompson in particular was a shot-altering fiend), the 'Horns started to peak in the early portion of the league schedule. After pulling the rare feat of beating the Jayhawks at their place, it seemed as though Texas had a firm grip on the conference, but a loss to Nebraska and a shellacking at Colorado reopened the window for Kansas, and the Jayhawks pulled ahead. In the postseason, Texas fell to Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament final, but earned a four-seed, a sign that the selection committee places a heavy amount of stock in recent play. The Longhorns had no problem disposing of an intriguing Oakland squad in the "second round," but their next game was a different story. The final sequence against Arizona that led to an early exit was a zany series which included a questionable five-second call and late-game possession mismanagement. As it turned out, losing to the Wildcats was nothing to hang their heads over. Defensive aficionados Gary Johnson and Dogus Balbay wave goodbye after four solid years from each, and Hamilton, Joseph, and Thompson have announced their intentions to head to the NBA. While four starters exit, the Longhorns look well-equipped to recover from such an exodus with J'Covan Brown sticking around and an incoming class that includes McDonald's All-American point guard Myck Kabongo, who leads a stout group of young guards, and the Texas backcourt will be exciting to watch next season. Incoming freshmen forwards Kevin Thomas and Jonathan Holmes will have to learn the ins and outs of the frontcourt quickly, though. UT enjoyed a fine season, but the final result left more to be desired. GRADE: B-
- Oklahoma State (20-14, 6-10) – The Cowboys' season in Travis Ford's third go-round was filled with inconsistency and struggles. OSU lacked a go-to scorer and was forced to play at a slow pace in order to mask its weaknesses on offense. Off-court issues such as rape charges against Darrell Williams, style clashes with Ray Penn, and the loss of point guard Fred Gulley to begin the season created chemistry issues on the court. The remaining players were out of sync all season, and the Cowboys failed to get any momentum rolling during league play, though Marshall Moses took a big step forward in his senior season. The team fought hard, taking Kansas to the final possession in the Big 12 Tournament, but ultimately, OSU missed the Big Dance for the first time in three years, settling for an NIT bid. Cowboys fans should be excited for the arrival of five-star forward and McDonald's All-American LeBryan Nash, one of the most explosive and athletic players in the 2011 class. He should slide in immediately and be an impact player from the first jump ball of the season. Keiton Page and JP Olukemi return as more experienced players, though like Kansas State, the Cowboys will be thin up front. Last season was a rough ride, but expect the Cowboys to return to NCAA Tournament contention in 2012. GRADE: C
- Nebraska (19-13, 7-9) – Eight non-conference wins over teams ranked 250th or lower in KenPom's rankings set an early tone of confidence for Doc Sadler's squad, which had low expectations to begin the season. In a slowdown system, Lance Jeter (11.7 PPG and 4.5 APG) was the team's best player, though the Huskers had plenty of big bodies in their final season as Big 12 members. 6'11" Jorge Brian Diaz and 300-pounder Andre Alameida all averaged at least 14.9 minutes per game. The team was hit early by the departure of Christian Standhardinger and had to trudge on without its German import. A double-digit lead over Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse (which was blown) and a late-season win over Texas showed signs of life, but stumbling to losses in five of their last six games removed any realistic tournament aspirations, lowlighted by a disastrous final possession with a chance to beat Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament. Sadler's team exited Big 12 membership with a whimper, losing by 27 to eventual NIT champion Wichita State. Jeter graduates, but Sadler will welcome three new recruits: small forward David Rivers, Josiah Moore, a former high school teammate of Connecticut standout Jeremy Lamb, and Kansas City native Corey Hilliard. The Cornhuskers figure to toil in the lower half of the Big Ten next season on the heels of another mediocre campaign in Lincoln, though apparently, it was good enough to earn Sadler a nice extension. GRADE: C
- Iowa State (3-13, 16-16) – The Cyclones raced out to a 13-2 start in native son Fred Hoiberg's first season as head coach. Wins over Creighton, Iowa, and Virginia indicated that ISU could make a run at the top half of the conference, but there just wasn't enough firepower behind standout guard Diante Garrett (17.6 PPG). Throughout the season, Iowa State let leads slip away and the losses piled up from there – 13 in conference play, good for a last-place finish. Hoiberg gets somewhat of a pass as a first-year head coach working with Greg McDermott's holdovers, but there were several occasions where his team had the game in hand but couldn't finish the job. Still, there is a lot of reason for optimism heading into 2012. Next season will bring many fresh faces, though some may be familiar to Big Ten followers. Chris Allen from Michigan State, Chris Babb from Penn State, and Royce White, formerly of Minnesota, will all be on board next season, as will Saluki transfer Anthony Booker. Adding to the newcomers are three freshman, including point guard Tavon Sledge, who used to play with Tobias Harris in Long Island. The program loses Jamie Vanderbeken and Garrett, but there are enough pieces remaining, along with all those transfers becoming eligible, that ISU should be expected to make big strides next season. Sure, the easy statement is that things can only get better from here, but if the new faces mesh with the old ones, it's not difficult to imagine a winning season and one of the bigger single-season turnarounds of 2012. Adding to the bright future was April's news that Will Clyburn will be heading to Ames from Utah, though he will have to sit out next season. GRADE: C-
- Missouri (23-11, 8-8) – It's not often that a 23-win season can be interpreted as a disappointment, but this is one such case. The Tigers breezed through non-conference play at 14-1 with their only loss being an overtime thriller against Georgetown, and it looked as though the ineligibility of hyped freshman Tony Mitchell would be rendered moot. Once league play hit, however, the Tigers' "Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball" pressure defense could not stop anyone, and the result was a team that racked up more fouls per game than all but two teams in the conference and many frazzled defensive possessions. The bottom fell out in an 86-71 loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Tournament, after which Kim English said the team quit, and an opening-round NCAA Tournament loss to Cincinnati followed. A state of disconnect was prevalent throughout the season, as Mike Anderson often used the crutch that his team was young, even though his team featured six juniors and seniors who averaged at least 17 minutes per game. Marcus Denmon, finally healthy for a full season, was the team's best player, as the junior averaged 16.9 points per contest and was a deadeye perimeter shooter with a 44.8% mark from beyond the arc. At the end of the season, Anderson left for Arkansas, a move that surprised no one, and after a flirtation with Matt Painter, athletic director Mike Alden settled on Frank Haith, a move that surprised everyone. As with any high-profile program, coaching changes bring murky futures, and Missouri is no different. English and Laurence Bowers were reportedly considering testing the NBA Draft, and speculation abounds that Phil and Matt Pressey could follow Anderson to Fayetteville, as their father is close friends with Anderson. One thing to bear in mind is that the SEC doesn't give scholarships to two-time transfers, and since Matt Pressey was a juco player before life at Mizzou, he would have to walk on at Arkansas. Haith's first move was to scoop up recruiter extraordinaire Tim Fuller from Rick Pitino's staff, which was a huge get, but keep an eye on how those who remain transition to Haith's style. GRADE: D
- Baylor (18-13, 7-9) – While Ekpe Udoh and Tweety Carter jumped to the next level following their Elite Eight run in 2010, Baylor remained talented to start the season. LaceDarius Dunn and high-flyer Quincy Acy were still in-house, and J'Mison Morgan was finally eligible after sitting out his transfer year. In addition, Scott Drew had surefire lottery pick Perry Jones coming to town. Drew had the personnel to make another deep run, and Baylor was picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 at the start of the season. As the campaign wore on, however, it became clear that Drew was in a race against time to get a physically gifted group of guys to play cohesively before the bubble would burst. Baylor's schedule was one that defied rational explanation. It featured three breaks of at least one week before conference play and a non-DI game in mid-February. The Bears scheduled three games against KenPom top 100 teams prior to league play and went 0-3 against that group. Big 12 play did not provide much relief, and aside from a season sweep over Texas A&M, high points were hard to come by. Jones was impressive, but rarely displayed the ability to take over games with his physical gifts, and Dunn turned into a low-efficiency volume shooter. Off-court issues marred the season as well. In November, Dunn faced a suspension stemming from a domestic violence charge. In March, Jones was suspended hours before the Big 12 Tournament opener for dastardly allowing his mother to accept cash loans from Jones' high school coach two years ago (THE HORROR!). Without Jones, Baylor was rocked in what may have amounted to a play-in game in Kansas City, and didn't participate in an invitational tournament. Earlier this month, Jones shocked the college basketball world by announcing that he will return for next season rather than entering a cloudy NBA situation as a possible top-five pick and despite the fact that he will be suspended for the first five games of next season. After becoming the Big 12's all-time scoring leader with 2,285 points, Dunn graduates, though more elite players are coming to Waco. Burger Boys Deuce Bello and Quincy Miller will come aboard, but there remains a glaring weakness with AJ Walton at the point guard spot. In addition, the program has the attention of the NCAA for all the wrong reasons. If Baylor is to have success next season, Drew has to coach his roster up to its potential, get better defense out of his troops, assemble an adequate non-league schedule, and stay out of hot water. GRADE: D
- Oklahoma (14-18, 5-11) – As Jeff Capel struggled to fill the voids left by Blake Griffin, and Tiny Gallon, it was hard not to see a down year coming back in the fall, but losing to Chaminade in Maui certainly was not what anyone had in mind. After navigating through a tough stretch of non-conference games that included tilts against Arkansas, Arizona, Virginia, and Kentucky, the Sooners feasted on some cupcakes to get to 8-6 entering conference play. Senior Cade Davis breathed some life into the program and went out on a high note, averaging over 14 points per contest, and nearly 20 a game over the team's last eight games. A four-game win streak in conference play was the high point for the Sooners, at which point it looked like Oklahoma might finish better than the experts originally predicted. However, OU went on to drop its next eight, and Capel was cut loose in favor of the well-traveled Lon Kruger. Kruger will bring a reputation of running solid if unspectacular programs, and Oklahoma's administration also has to like his history of running clean programs, something that Kelvin Sampson as well as Capel failed to do in Norman. Without much time to hit the recruiting trail, Kruger turned to the juco ranks for his first OU commit, Sam Grooms of Chipola, Florida. Don't expect immediate results from the Sooners next season, but fans should keep an eye on Oklahoma to make tournament pushes on an annual basis in 2013 and beyond. In 2010-11, Oklahoma had the least experienced team in the Big 12 last season, with three freshmen and sophomores averaging 30 minutes per game or more, and adding Kruger to the mix should lead to a gradual climb. GRADE: D-
- Texas Tech (13-19, 5-11) – The Red Raiders' season began with Pat Knight's job in dire straits and ended with a new head coach. In Lubbock, expectations have never been lofty, especially since Bob Knight called it a career, but Pat Knight never finished better than 9th in the conference in three full seasons. Tech sported a little bit of shooting range from John Roberson, Brad Reese, and David Tairu, and while Mike Singletary provided athleticism, the team was completely bereft of any inside presence, and the fact that this was the most experienced team in the Big 12 (according to Ken Pomeroy) made this season a disaster. A nine-point win over Baylor in Waco was Tech's highlight, and five conference wins was about as well as the team could have hoped for. Texas Tech's administration promptly let Knight go at the end of the season, and brought in Billy Gillispie, who should know Texas well from his days as the coach of UTEP, and later, Texas A&M. Graduating four starters (and six seniors in all), Gillispie is already able to pitch an abundance of playing time to recruits. Jaron Nash and Kader Tapsoba are a pair of junior college transfers set to join a five-man recruiting class which, for now, is staying committed despite Knight's departure to Lamar. Nash and Tapsoba both figure to add size to Tech's undersized roster. However, the Red Raiders currently sit at one scholarship over the limit of 13, so expect to see movement at some point. The 2010-11 season was mostly a waste, but fans are eager to move on from the Knight era, and Gillispie should be motivated to return to success after some troubling personal issues. GRADE: F
The Future
- The Big 12 may take a step back in the national landscape due to a number of programs in coaching transitions and talent leaving, but that does not mean the conference will be short on storylines. With Colorado and Nebraska exiting, not only does the conference rid itself of some dead weight, but it also shifts from an unbalanced schedule to a more balanced and competitive one.
- Until now, the conference schedule consisted of in-season home-and-homes within the two divisions (The North, consisting of Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa State, and the South, consisting of the Texas and Oklahoma schools) and alternating locations for the single games outside the divisions. Beginning in 2011-2012, the conference schedule will extend from 16 to 18 games, and all ten teams will play each other twice. As a result, the conference champion is more likely to have three or four losses than one or two, and the Kansas-Texas matchups could escalate from simply a competitive series to a bona fide rivalry.
- The Jayhawks' departures have led some to question their ability to take the Big 12 in 2012, but across the conference, there is no clear favorite at this early stage, as Texas and Texas A&M will also battle for the top spot. The biggest improvements should come from Iowa State and Oklahoma State as Fred Hoiberg's transfer players become eligible and the Cowboys retain most of their roster and welcome LeBryan Nash. It wouldn't surprise me if after a brief period in the spotlight, Kansas State returned to its former status as a team under the radar. Missouri remains a wildcard until Frank Haith's roster is settled, though he should have enough talent to remain competitive in the top half.

We're breastfeeding 21 months in. We never set out to go this long. When we started we aimed for 6 and ended up at 21. We're probably not the only ones.
We fucked up when we bought our first buggy. We're 3 floors up so bought one that was lightweight. As it was lightweight it was only front facing. Bug hated it and called us bastards every time we took her out. There's only so many times a 2 month old can call you a bastard (82) before you do something about it. We couldn't afford a replacement so for most of Bug's outdoor life we've had her in a
Bear uses cloth nappies during her Bug days. She cares about Bug's bum and the environment. I use disposables during mine as I obliviously don't give a shit about either.
There's no sleep training. It wasn't right for us. As a result we co-sleep. Bug's still feeding overnight so it's easier for Bear -- I say easier, they're often up a dozen times. I've occasionally woken and said 'cracking nights sleep!' only for Bear to growl 'she was awake every 30 minutes.' Bad Dad.
We split childcare between us. We felt it best for Bug to have one of us around at all times as opposed to sending her to nursery. Bear has her Thursday to Sunday while I work in retail. I have her Monday to Wednesday while Bear does a full-time PhD in part-time hours.
There's no naughty step. No time outs. We let her do whatever she wants while saving for any future court case.
I'm mentioning these things to reiterate the first sentence: accidental attachment parenting. We never set out to raise Bug this way over a more robust Gina Ford style of parenting. We just made shit up and our shit was closer to AP's than GF's.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a rant about parents who feel it acceptable to criticise the way we do things. What instigated it was folks who do controlled crying telling me I'm wrong not to. Not that other people have a say. In all fairness, I barely get a look in-- Bear takes care of most of that, leaving me to sit around scratching my balls and trying not to nod off when the plot of Something Special gets a bit triksy.
So around the time I was having a bit of a rant, I stumbled upon this blog posted by Sophie.
I'm quite certain Sophie and I wouldn't see eye to eye. She's lefty loathing, I think the Tories are a Boris short of a cunt factory. She's a Gina Ford devotee and I'm obviously not. I bet she even says 'scone' while I clearly say it right: scone.
And yet here she is, ranting about exactly the same thing I was blathering on about: know-it-alls entering the realm of 'None Of Your Fucking Business.'
I read the post agreeing with the emotions on display. She sums it up perfectly: you do what you feel is best for your child. And I'll do the same.
A few days later I started to notice odd tweets on Twitter. People I follow and interact with were getting abusive messages criticising their parenting. The messages were sent via fake accounts from someone clearly convinced that attachment parenting is the only way to raise a child. Phrases like 'child abuse' were spat at anyone not parenting strictly as AP prescribes. It was fucking embarrassing.
Not long after, @slightlysubdad wrote an excellent piece discussing the event.
All these things combined, as well as a funny and honest post by @ministryofmum, led me to start wondering why people feel the need to attack other parents.
Let's look at the Twitter zealots: faceless entities that created accounts simply to attack people who dared to do things differently. It is both cowardly and a damning indictment on their own parenting. If you're so confident in your beliefs to behave this way why not do it from your own account? Either step up or off fuck. Twat monkeys.
Why do people criticise other parents in general?
They criticise as a way to feel better about themselves: I may be a shit parent but at least I'm no Fritzl.
Or to make themselves feel worse: that Fritzl gets all the girls.
They criticise because they see traits in others that they don't like about themselves.
They criticise to cover up their own insecurities, as a way of justifying their own choices even when doubting them.
They criticise because it's Sunday, it's raining and they've yet to decide what to do with the day. Maybe they'll put down the laptop as the sun steps out from behind grey. Maybe they'll take the kids to the park and laugh and dance and be grateful for the utter joy that is their children and forget, for a wee while, everybody else's.
Bye for now.

Royal Ballet Principal Edward Watson has won the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance for his role in Arthur Pita's The Metamorphosis. Monica Mason, Director of The Royal Ballet, also received a special award for her distinguished career in dance.
In her acceptance speech Monica described the dancers and staff of the Royal Ballet as "committed, passionate and crazy". Sadly, Edward Watson's speech was interrupted by a break in broadcasting due to a power cut in Covent Garden. The Metamorphosis will be revived at the Royal Opera House in March of next year.
This year the Royal Opera House received five nominations for Olivier Awards, in addition to Monica Mason's special award.

For the first time, I rode Reach 3 today heading south from Agnew Road to Monroe Street, where the path ends (1.8 miles). There's a stop sign at Monroe Street. The street light at this intersection is not yet activated.
The other unfinished items I noted a few weeks ago are done — signage and pole barriers to keep out unauthorized vehicles.
I suspect the trail is open for good and not just for maintenance.
How much time does it save me? I have a mile more of non-stop riding. I no longer have to stop for the light on Kifer and San Tomas Expressway. Nor do I have to climb the train overpass on San Tomas, but that's no big deal. That's it. So I'm not going to save much time. I may save a minute on average, but it's a lot more fun riding here than on San Tomas Expwy, so I will use it all the time now.
I'll also be much more likely to wait for the light at Monroe Street and then pick up Los Padres Boulevard going south rather than riding San Tomas. Taking Los Padres is a bit slower, perhaps, but less stressful. Way to go Santa Clara!

I try not to let this blog devolve into immature screeds based on ignorance and misguided umbrage (though it happens) and I try not to trawl for page hits (JUSTIN BIEBER DATING CASEY ANTHONY???), but sometimes it happens and I apologize. So I'm going to try to keep this post positive and focus on all the pleasantries of riding my bicycle home this afternoon.
What's great about the hot and muggy weather is that it provides another opportunity for me to beat my hobbyhorse (is this a real cliche? or is this just some cruel portmanteau cliche that's going to get me in trouble with PETA?) of suggesting/advocating the use of sun screen. Here's the Melanoma Center's prevention page. Slip! Slop! Slap! Wrap! isn't just a horribly messy way to make a burrito- it can save your life.
Biking uphill is so much fun! It's like biking downhill in that you're biking, but it's also like mountain climbing, which is an activity that Sherpas love and Sherpas are probably really happy people! (statistics pending)
I love sharing the road. It's awesome. I get to see so many different kinds of cars (it's like a real life episode of Top Gear but without wry British wit) and I get to see people walking, which reminds me of the really fun time I had watching the NOVA miniseries Becoming Human for a few nights after the Official Wife had fallen asleep. And buses! What could be more fun than seeing buses? If buses weren't fun, why would we make our preschoolers sing about them and the questionable motion of their wheels? Maybe there should be a verse about a mechanic checking the struts. Just saying.
Isn't being positive about stuff great?
What's more magical than biking on a bridge? You start on one piece of land and then you're on another piece of land and in the intervening time you were suspended over water! It's crazy! It's like the poor man's version of flying! It's way better than taking the mope boat, a ferry which is yet non-existent.
I love off-road mixed-use trails. They provide a quiet alternative to biking on the street and frequently the trails are tree-lined and shady, which is welcome relief from the hot sun. I biked along the Custis to Veitch today and I'm glad that I can use the trail as a respite and an opportunity to relax a bit. Though, the parts that I ride are a bit hilly- good thing we've already covered (positively) how much fun biking uphill can be.
Superbikers! They're impassioned amateurs with a wild dedication to the sport, nay, art, of bicycling and they're definitely not rife for mockery. I saw a superbiker today with a saddle narrower than my fenders. I'm not being negative- it's amazing that we've developed the technology that can stretch space-age materials into super-thin strands on which the more committed and spandex-clad of us can sit.
I think that my front brake might have a little shard of metal in it (from the tire rim) and it makes a noise whenever I pull on the brak levers sort of hard. Positive spin? Another chance to work on my bike maintenance skills? Sure...that's something good, right?
I made it home in a little more than a half hour and with a marginal cost of $0. I paid nothing for parking and I paid nothing for gas. I got some exercise and fresh air and I didn't have to sit in traffic. While I didn't get to listen to the radio, I got a chance to clear my head after a day of work and have some time where I was relatively free from distraction or obligation. I didn't stop anywhere, but if I had wanted to, I could have. Most of my route was in dedicated bike facilities and for the parts that weren't, I was treated fairly courteously (or at least ambivalently) by those around me traveling by other modes. All things considered, it was a nice ride.

Wow! That Justine is an entitled, selfish, dangerous, ignorant, as#h(le.ReplyDelete
Glad you enjoyed your commute, though, and thanks for the melanoma info.
She's just a kid, 19 I think. I'm hopeful that with more life experience, she'll become more circumspect and more likely to think through what she writes. Plus, BikeArlington has graciously offered her an opportunity to ride around Ballston with one of their staff in an effort to, perhaps, cultivate a greater level of understanding. I hope she accepts.ReplyDelete

MET Sit DOWN: Jessica Szohr
Someone actually posed harder than Renee Zellweger last night, especially when you consider who she actually is. Annoying, barely relevant Vanessa on Gossip Girl showed up at the Met Gala with a lot of Try on her face and a wannabe Jennifer Lopez expression leaving us with two questions:
And Why Is?
Look at this bitch go for it. Almost like she thinks she's is It.
The girl who supposedly lost Chuck Bass in real life because she cheated? Sit DOWN Jessica Szohr. That's her name, by the way. Because many of you didn't know. And that's not a statement about you, it's a statement about HER.

Hello folks.
First post here.
I'm 44, have Hereditary Spastic Paraparesia. The main problems are spasticity (predominantly in my right leg) and fatigue.
I live in Japan, have a neurologist at Tokyo University Hospital.
You wouldn't believe there is any worldwide economic downturn judging by the sheer volume of (free) drugs prescribed over here.
Here is my question, I currently take, for spasticity and fatigue :
Baclofen 10mg, every 3 hours I am awake.
Modafinil 50mg, 3 times a day.
Piracetam 2g, twice a day.
This works. I settled on this after a lot of trial and error.
Foot drop essentially gone, spasticity very much under control. Fatigue 80-90% gone. No more heavy legs.
Without any medication I walk like I am drunk, I fall over a lot. On the above regimen I can function, go to work, stand for long periods, even go out after work. I never fall over.
My main problem is walking down stairs, but on the above meds with a hand rail I can do it very quickly.
It does come with the overhead that it gets me incredibly stoned. All the drugs I find very pleasant to take, in combination it is like being blissfully calm, yet wide awake at the same time.
I tried 4-ap last week, just 4-ap alone, nothing else. This was very good for my mobility as well, but I did feel a bit sick. i went back to my above combo. It works, and I actually enjoy it.
Still haven't articulated my question, am I doing myself any long term neurological damage taking these drugs? Is it safe? I'll be doing this pretty much every day for life.
These drugs produce no hangover, no tolerance, no cravings. I really can take or leave them. If I am sat down all day I just take Modafinil. If I have to move around a lot I take the Baclofen.
It's been a year now of taking all this. It doesn't feel like it is causing any damage. But is there anything i should be worried about?
Thanks a lot. If there is anybody here with HSP I'd be very interested in talking to you.

Nicolites Refills Low Strength Tobacco Flavour Pack of 3
Nicolites Refills Low Strength Tobacco Flavour Pack of 3
The new Nicocig Low Strength Tobacco Flavour Refills can be purchased at the below link:
Nicolites Cartomisers Low Strength (6mg) Original Flavour
Each box contains 3 electronic cigarette cartomisers that will each last for up to 20 cigarettes worth of smoking each, Please note these are only compatible with Nicolites Rechargeable Electronic Cigarettes, and will not fit the disposable model.
Regardless of the strength you choose, you're certain to experience significant health benefits. Since electronic cigarettes like the Nicolite contain no tobacco, they're not subject to the smoking ban and can be used anywhere — indoors or outdoor. Finally, e cigs can be as much as 75% less expensive than conventional cigarettes.
Whether you choose the disposable or rechargeable model, it's important to know that the Nicolite cigarette looks very similar to a tobacco cigarette. It's also been carefully designed to deliver an authentic simulation of the smoking experience, but without all the shortcomings. In addition, Nicolites contain none of the 4000 known toxic chemicals and substances found in tobacco smoke. Nicolite even has an extremely realistic appearance, right down to the red, glowing tip.
Imagine — no more need to stand outdoors in bad weather to smoke a tobacco cigarette. Since Nicolite is exempt from the smoking ban, it's ideal for use in places where tobacco is prohibited — indoors or outdoors — including pubs, restaurants, shops, sporting events and many other venues.
How Nicolite Works
An electronic cigarette consists of a realistic-looking housing that contains a cartomiser, which is a device that transforms liquid nicotine into an inhalable vapour. The cartomiser consists of an atomisation chamber and the actual liquid nicotine itself. Nicolite features the latest in e-cig technology that offers efficient and reliable performance. Even its tip glows realistically to heighten the user's vaping experience. Once you've bought the starter kit, only the cartomiser, which is equal to about 20 conventional cigarettes, needs replacing.
More good news: Nicolite is much less expensive than tobacco cigarettes.

I've noticed since installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 that I'm having huge performance issues. It will randomly freeze up on me quite a bit.
I had no performance issues with Visual Studio 2010 before the upgrade. The only add-on I have running is ReSharper.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing performance issues? If so have you found a way to fix them?

Hot prospects Jonathan "Bomba" Gonzalez and Felix "Diamante" Verdejo will headline, in separate fights, the new edition of the UniMas Solo Boxeo Tecate show this Saturday, March 23, at the Ruben Zayas Coliseum in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, in a PR Best Boxing Promotions (PRBBP) presentation in association with Top Rank.
Besides Bomba Gonzalez and Diamante Verdejo, will fight in the card contender Luis "El Artesano" Cruz in his return to Puerto Rico, unbeaten prospect John Karl Sosa and some young Puerto Rican fighters for a total of eight bouts.
"We are back to Trujillo Alto, where we presented a successfull show in September, 2012, but now we have prospects Bomba Gonzalez and Felix Verdejo in the principal roles and we expected a big support of the fans there", PRBBP President Ivan Rivera said. "This will be the first Solo Boxeo Tecate show this year in Puerto Rico, where we are going to bring to the fans some good fights".
the main event, the WBO Youth flyweight champion Bomba Gonzalez (11-0, 10 KOs) will fight against Joseph Rios (13-7-2, 4 KOs) in a 10 rounds and 113 pounds bout. In his last fight, Gonzalez, ranked #14 by the WBO in the flyweights, ended in a "no decision" result against Omar Salado on February 2, when in the first round Gonzalez hit Salado with an unintentional right hook on the back of his head, and the Mexican couldn't continue the fight. Rios is an experienced boxer who never had been knocked out.
"I'm in a very good condition to show everyone what I can do. If Rios said that this will be a war, I'm ready to show my skills in the ring", Gonzalez said.
Rios said that "I'm here to bring a great show to the fans. This will be a war".
While, Diamante Verdejo (3-0, 2 KOs) is going to fight for the second straight time in his country when he faces Martin Quezada (2-3, 2 KOs) in a junior lightweight and four rounds bout. Verdejo come off a third round TKO over Jose Santiago on February 2. He debuted on December, 2012, with a decision win over Leonardo Chavez in Las Vegas and then on January 19, 2013, scored a first round KO victory over Tomi Archambault.
"I'm very happy to fight again in Puerto Rico. I work hard every day to be in the best shape and this Saturday you are going to see another great fight", Verdejo said.
Also, El Artesano Cruz (20-2, 16 KOs), will fight in Puerto Rico for the first time since April, 2011, when he beat Martin Honorio. This time, Cruz will face Steve Trumble (12-25, 8 KOs) in a bout scheduled to eight rounds in 138 pounds. Cruz is coming off a lost against Mexican Jose Felix Jr. on September, 2012.
In six rounds fights, prospect John Karl Sosa (5-0, 4 KOs) will face Samuel "Sammito" Santana (5-7-2) in a 143 pounds bout; in 140 pounds, Osenohad "Cano" Vazquez (6-1-1, 2 KOs) will fight against Pascali "Gato" Adorno (10-8-3, 4 KOs), and Rafael "El Pollo Blanco" Gonzalez (8-1, 6 KOs) will fight versus Regino Canales (5-3, 2 KOs) in a 135 pounds bout.
Scheduled to four rounds Jeffrey Ramos (3-0, 2 KOs) will face Christopher Rivera (4-12, 4 KOs) in 135 pounds, and Bernard Lebron will debut against Nataniel Vazquez (0-1) in 142 pounds.
This show will broadcast on UniMas and the program Solo Boxeo Tecate at 11:00 p.m. ET.
Tickets for this show are availables at Ticketcenter (www.tcpr.com) calling 1 787 792-5000. Prices are $18 and $33.

Not Just Another Guitar Hero Preview
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Not Just Another Guitar Hero Preview
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine tells us how he's helping to change the series.
Rush and Megadeth in guitar hero is a good thing.
Wait, it moves away from the shredtastic tone of the previous games? I think you meant to say it moves away from the mainstream leanings of the previous games and towards the shredtastic tones of GH2 and GH3.
Warriors of rock has Keep on Rockin in the Free World. That alone is a great reason to get it.
They gave Megadeath the freedom to create three new songs full of solos! The game is gonna be nigh impossible to beat now :P.
It has Black Widow of La Porte by John 5. Any argument not to get it is invalid.
Not gonna lie, saw the words "Rush's epic 2112" and pretty much thought "buy" right away. It'll be the first one I've gotten since 2.
Activision cancels out any positive part of any game they corrupt.
Gene Simmons as the God of Rock? No thanks.
As long as I get to play some John 5, I'm happy.
Yeah, i read that sentence a couple times and it still doesn't make sense. No more shredding, but hey, here's a crap load of megadeth.....
And what's the difference between shredtastic tones and rock?
Maybe it's finally time for me to pick up a plastic guitar...Lords knows I'm never going to touch a real one.
An adaptor for use of real guitars on these types of video games will help so many guitarists develop their own ability as well as having fun at the same time.
Finally an actual reason to play the career mode. After they unlocked every single song straight form the start in Guitar Hero 5 there really wasn't any point at all in playing the Career.
I probably would've gotten it anyway though, even if i pretty much suck at playing Guitar Hero compared to a lot of other players. (But i can play a real guitar so i don't feel bad about it =P
Take a look at Rock Band 3 and the Pro Guitar Controller then. It practically IS a real guitar. Real strings and frets with sensors that tell you your finger placement on-screen during play.
That seems to be a trend with a lot of real musicians. I have a friend that's a guitarist and can't fathom the functions of the guitar controller. Similarly, I used to be a drummer and have the damnedest time using the Drum Controller. If there were attachable sensors that you could fasten to real drums for game, I'd be all over it.
Megadeth! i love Megadeth, im a total Droogie. Any one else notice the picture on the second page was eddi with the power slave background?
Sweet! Megadeth is my favorite! Anyway, I love Megadeth, but I don't think that's enough to get me to buy the game. I just don't enjoy Guitar Hero and Rock Band games anymore. I just find them boring.
0.o did they just give me good reason to play a guitar hero game for the first time in my life? FUCK YEAH THEY DID! Damn I wish I own a current gen console now.
well. lets say hello again back to the feel and general playlist of guitar hero 2 and 3. i might get it. depends if i really want another guitar hero game laying around.
Needs more Iron Maiden. triple threat guitar solos...
And don't forget Nico's drumming, Bruce's vocals and Steve's bass!
The franchise needs more Maiden, hell, everyone needs more Maiden.
OT: The game has me intrigued.
I may of misunderstood something but: For the final three epic songs of the game, they top it all off with custom music done by Dave Mustaine? No offence to him because he is a good guitarist, but I'd rather finish a Guitar Hero game with something actually epic and recognisable. Something that gets me yelling "OH YESSSS". Guitar Hero 2 ended with Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guitar Hero 3 ended with a rock edition of The Devil Went Down To Georgia (which worked partly because it fit what was happening and partly because it's an actual song) and the Rock Band series had pretty epic finales themselves (Highway Star by Deep Purple and Painkiller by Judas Priest are, at least to me, the finales of the games).
Yet, in this edition, we get some instrumental music or a forgettable song (last hit Megadeth did was about...1995?). More the reason why I'll pass and gawk at Rock Band 2 some more.
like what Rock Band 3 is doing?
Dave Mustaine's the man.
I disagree, personally I think RB3 definitely has the best setlist and certainly most diverse setlist I can remember. And this coming from someone who only knew about 1/3 of the songs before i listened through them all. Of the remaining 2/3, about 1/3 were "OMG I know this song!!!! SWEET (*points at Centerfold and Werewolves of London*) and the other 1/3 were new songs that are pretty cool and I'll enjoy playing. Only about 3 of the songs in it I genuinely dislike.
OT: Pass on GH6 for me... it's just the exact same engine and gameplay with a cheesy brutal legend ripoff story and a far too metal heavy setlist. Oh yeah, and they put manbearpig into it... >_< There's no reason these songs couldn't just be DLC since their game has nothing new to offer.
sounds like another guitar hero tbh, every developer/publisher promiseses innovashun/something fresh/epic/graet/near perfect/suprisingly new, well duh ofc they would, they WANT YOU TO BUY IT
Maybe it will actually be good? Only time will tell.
I'll come back to Guitar Hero when they release Death Metal Hero.
So, never.
Megadeth is awesome, but the song list is still baffling due to the inclusion of Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Nickelback, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, etc. The setlist is still better than 3' and World Tour's.
There is like 12 songs from them downloadable to Rock Band. That DLC pack was awesome.
On topic, I'm a bit concerned myself. I've never really liked activision's guitar heros, but this one does have new Megadeth songs. On the other hand, the new mythology bullshit sounds plain stupid and the game looks a lot like brütal legend if you ask me. I myself am going to spend my money on RB3, because it has keyboards.
Did anyone else feel the series was completely ruined after they introduced the band element? For everyone who cant afford to buy 3 additional instruments, 4 and 5 were so much worse than number 3.
Guitar Hero...
Yeah I am with you on that to a certain degree. I'm getting sick of seeing them rerelease the same game with essentially what are updated libraries every time. It's like every sports game ever made, ever.
needless to say I won't be getting it.
Eh, these guys only managed to pull off Guitar Hero 3 before they started missing the point, in my opinion. It doesn't help that they seem to pride themselves in releasing as many versions as they can of basically the same game without any noteworthy improvements.
At least Rock Band 3 is a big step forward, this just sounds like more of the same stuff that put me off the last half dozen or so games.
But hey, if you want wild, illogically frantic note-sprees and a pack of special Megadeth tracks to master, congratulations! This is probably perfect for you. Personally I'll be holding off to try the keytar and pro-guitar from Rock Band 3, assuming it comes to Australia. (Still waiting on Rock Band 2 here...)
Ever Since Harmonix left production I haven't been interested in GH. Activision has never been a good company in my eyes and the creative work that Harmonix is doing is the type of experiment that I like to see a game company do. :-D

A number of names from the worlds of opera and ballet have been included in the New Year's Honours list.
Carlos Acosta has been awarded the CBE, capping a remarkable year for the Royal Ballet Guest Principal which has seen him stage a new production of Don Quixote at Covent Garden, release his debut novel, and star in his first feature film.
'I am very excited and thrilled about this news,' said Carlos, 'I never expected to receive an honour such as this, and am both delighted and very proud to be given such recognition for my work in the dance world. It was a huge surprise, and I feel privileged to be included.'
Opera director John Copley has also been awarded the CBE. He is perhaps best known for his much-loved Royal Opera production of La bohème. The production marks its 40th year in 2014.
Conductor Sir Simon Rattle was awarded the Order of Merit. This follows his CBE in 1987 and knighthood in 1994. Sir Simon returns to Covent Garden in 2014 to conduct Robert Carsen's award-winning production of Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites.
Choreographer and former dancer Gillian Lynne was made a Dame for services to dance and musical theatre. Following her performances with Sadler's Wells Ballet as a Leading Soloist between 1944 and 1951, Dame Gillian was instrumental in the development of jazz dance in Britain, leading to her iconic work on the musicals Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.
Master of the Queen's Music, composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, has been made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour. His 1980 opera The Lighthouse was performed at Covent Garden in the Linbury Studio Theatre in 2012.
Others honoured include philanthropist Lady Patricia Hobson (OBE for services to ballet and philanthropy), Artistic Director of the Royal Ballet of Flanders Maria Assis Carreiro (MBE for services to dance) and Liv Lorent, founder of balletLorent (MBE for services to dance).

MDFL Faculty Selected to Participate in Advanced Placement Reading Programs
Friday, June 20, 2014
Dr. Scott Fish, Associate Professor (French) and Dr. Michael Rueter, Assistant Professor (Spanish) in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages were again selected to participate in the College Board's Annual Advanced Placement (AP) Reading in French and Spanish in Cincinnati Ohio. Each June, AP teachers and college faculty members from around the world gather in the United States to evaluate and score the free-response sections of the AP Exams. During the June 2014 scoring sessions, more than 12,500 AP Readers evaluate more than 4.2 million AP Exams.
AP Readers are high school and college educators who represent many of the world's leading academic institutions. The AP Reading is a unique forum in which an academic dialogue between educators is both fostered and encouraged. "The Reading draws upon the talents of some of the finest teachers and professors that the world has to offer," said Trevor Packer, Senior Vice President, AP and Instruction at the College Board. "It fosters professionalism, allows for the exchange of ideas, and strengthens the commitment to students and to teaching. We are very grateful for the contributions of talented educators like Drs. Fish and Rueter."
The Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies – with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both – while still in high school. Through AP courses in 34 subjects, each culminating in a rigorous exam, students learn to analyze complex problems, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue – skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students.
