Subject | jaxb alternative to digester |
Date | Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:39:12 GMT |
Geronimo's tomcat integration has up till recently used tomcat server components wrapped in geronimo gbean components, and server configuration through gbean configuration. This is less flexible and less convenient than server.xml configuration, and we've had several requests to provide configuration via server.xml. However, we need to typically use subclasses of the tomcat server classes. Unfortunately I have an unreasoning hatred of digester formed when I tried to debug what it was doing. After a little bit of thought I came up with an alternative jaxb based system. There' s a schema I reverse engineered from digester rules, and a bunch of classes modified from ones jaxb generated from the schema. After generating the classes I added some "build" methods that go through the jaxb model tree and construct the tomcat components and wire them together. This seems to work fine and I find it easy to modify and debug and understand what it's doing. In case anyone is interested in looking at this it's in our geronimo- tomcat6 module in the "model" package. The schema is under src/main/ xsd. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/trunk/plugins/tomcat/geronimo-tomcat6 thanks david jencks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com | |

Welcome class!
Today we are learning about: GENDER
Why do I need to learn about gender?
Once we learn about Gender, we will be able to challenge societal norms!
We will also be able to challenge gender relations!
But isn't "gender" and "sex" the same thing?
"Sex" is one's biological differences
"Gender" is the meaning that is culturally or socially given to that difference
Therefore, Gender is...
A social and cultural process where meaning is assigned and roles are proposed
Relates to what is "feminine"and what is "masculine"
Some examples of traditional Gender stereotypes...
Women are: kind, weak, compassionate, nurturing, emotional and caring
Men are: tough, aggressive, dominant, rational, and insenstive
Some examples of Sex characteristics...
Females menstruate, they have ovaries, and can become pregnant
Males have a penis and testicles, and cannot become pregnant
Important Facts
* One may choose their gender that does not necessairly correlate with their biological sex (a biological male may decide he is a woman)
* "There is no 'natural' relation between anatomical equipment and what that equipment is supposed to mean..." (Nealon and Searls Giroux)
* Gender is a practice, it is something we do!
* You can imagine it as a performance,we peform gender for others (Butler)
Final notes:
* "Sex" is the biological difference (Male and Female)
*Gender is the meaning given to that difference (Masculine or Feminine)
Thanks for joining today's class!

I'm a little lost without a color assignment today for Luna Jubilee's last week of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge. So I drank a little wine, then a little more, and just a teeeeeensy bit more.... well, you get the picture. I challenged myself to a photo with as many items from the latest round of My Attic at the Deck that I could squeeze into one frame.
Let's see - there's the Scarlet Creative fireplace grouping, the Ploom hair, the Glam Affair skin, the Somnia top (I love this top!) and the Adorkable pose and wine bottle prop. Not bad for one pic! Actually, not bad for one sale event! Hurry on over to My Attic. You too can be tipsy.

Ethnic Cleansing in Libya
Labels: Africa, America the Beautiful, Europe is the Faith, Race Matters, The Middle East, War and Rumors of War
"The superior man is catholic and no partizan. The mean man is a partizan and not catholic."
(君子周而不比、小人比而不周。) ─ Confucius, The Analects, 2.XIV, translation by James Legge.
Labels: Africa, America the Beautiful, Europe is the Faith, Race Matters, The Middle East, War and Rumors of War
The MSM has referred to this issue obliquely, but has refused to tackle it head on because it would make people think about what is happening in western country.
In brief, Mr Gaddafi decided that he wanted a new people in Libya that would not have any loyalties outside his regime, poor people that owed everything to him and are personally loyal to him. Basically, he was electing a new people.
Native Libyans on the other hand are very angry their country is filling up with foreigners, correctly understanding that their birthright is threatened, and have been determined to expel all the foreigners from Libya.
The same thing is happening in western countries. I don't blame immigrants from wanting to go to live in western countries, but the governments of western countries are clearly following the same policy of Mr Gaddafi.
Well said, about "electing a new people" and all that. One of the first things to make me side with the rebels was Gaddafi's use of foreign troops against his own people.
That was before NATO took sides. Now, it seems like Bosnia and Kosovo all over again.

Goodly Morning Stampers and a very happy Sunday to you all. Many thanks, as ever, for the gorgeous entries to last weeks starry challenge. This week I have chosen one of my very favourite songs by one of my very favourite men, What Is Life by George Harrison for the theme. The reason for using this song this week is because it was the tenth anniversary of George's death on November 29th 2001 and I didn't want that to pass without acknowledging it. HERE's a link to this song... it never fails to make me feel happy and I LOVE it!! I hope you like it too :O)) Anyways... the theme for this week is... LOVE &/OR LIFE. Tis an easy one, you could just use the word/s on your entry which can be anything you fancy, add in some stamping and then pop back here and leave me a link to the place you are showing your entry, I can then hop on over to visit. If you haven't got a blog or image sharing site, you can email me a piccie of your entry too (my email addy is on my profile). The challenge will remain open until 21:00 Saturday 10th December 2011.
My entry this week is totallly inspired by the frame that Tim Holtz did on the first day of the 12 Tags using the Tattered Pinecones. I used a 6" square shadow box, painting it with Fresco Finish paints, adding crackle glaze and then a mix of white and blue for the top layer. The colours really don't pick up properly on the photo's... electric light isn't the best to try and get pics of something that is shiny lol I used Coredinations cardstock to cut the Tattered Pinecones and leaves, sanding them before rolling them up. HERE's a link to Tim's video on how to make the pinecones... and on it he shows some double ones... so I had a crack at those too... and am chuffed with the big blousey rose look they make. I used Metallic Glaze on the edges of the petals to add some more bling to the piece... and Picket Fence Stickles over the wooden frame...
The stamping is on the background cardstock I made... this is just plain white card that I painted with the same colour tones and then overstamped with a script background using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I made a little centre for the Ornate Frame and stamped Love using Jet Black Archival ink.
Tis a quickie post from me today... I am still sample making ready for Tuesday, which reminds me... I have had a few comments and emails asking what time the show is. As far as I am aware it is 2pm on the Dawn Bibby & Friends programme... am very excited... and a smidge nervous too! Thanks again to everyone for your overwhelming support and kindness... like I said before, it means a very lot to me :O)) Anyways... I had better get a move on... I have planned a quick inky session making yesterday's tag... I think I have the goodies I need for this one... whooohoooo!! Thanks for looking... TTFN!

I've not even had chance to look at Tim's tags so far :( .......... I've had visitors for the past 8 days so no crafting or anything related for me. I have to say though Hels, I think I'm just as well looking at your fab creations, they're gorgeous.
I'm glad you put the info on for your TV debut shows. I went right through the week's menu for C&C and came online to see if you'd left us a hint, lol! Off to set the box to record now. Can't wait!

text: In Doctor Who Universe, MILFs are Hotter Than Bisexual Studscharliejane1/25/08 5:30pmFiled to: Sarah Jane Adventuresdoctor whoTVTorchwoodmust watchRantTelevision33EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkTomorrow night sees the start of Torchwood's second season on BBC America. But the U.S. hasn't yet gotten the best spin-off from the BBC's Doctor Who: the Sarah Jane Adventures. Even though Torchwood is (supposedly) aimed at adults and Sarah Jane is for kids, the kiddie show is actually way more fun and brilliant. Click through for four reasons why.AdvertisementIn case you missed both of them, Torchwood and Sarah Jane each star a former Doctor Who companion. Torchwood has the queer rake from the future, Captain Jack. And Sarah Jane (duh) features Sarah Jane Smith, the reporter who followed the Doctor around and screamed a lot in the mid 1970s. Who would ever have thought that a middle-aged Sarah Jane would be more fun than the sexy adventures of Jack? But here's why:Sarah Jane saves the world and squishes monsters. And she doesn't scream any more. Captain Jack and his team of scowling wankers deal with petty alien crimes, clean up their own messes, screw each other, and argue about it. And make dumb jokes. Here's Sarah Jane being menaced by evil nuns! AdvertisementCaptain Jack is a shitty boss. He's sassy and fun as the Doctor's sidekick, but when he's in charge he becomes an uptight middle manager. Sarah Jane is more like a den mom than a boss, but she's still a way better leader than the Cap. Most of all, she and her cast-mates actually care about each other, instead of just bickering.Sarah Jane is dead sexy. She'll put on a welding mask and build a giant energy-detector from scraps, then blow you a kiss while exploding your alien spaceship. Captain Jack used to be sexy, when he was a rogue. The Sarah Jane Adventures is more like Doctor Who. Yes, it's aimed at kids, but it has enough cleverness and subversiveness for adults. And it's fun and has a genuine emotional core to it. Torchwood, by contrast, seems like the show where Russell T. Davies and friends do all the queer innuendo and nastiness they couldn't get away with on Doctor Who. But it has none of the charm and dazzle that Davies puts into Who.But don't take my word for it. Just ask this guy... or maybe not.

Ten Ways to Impress a First Date in Style
You should pull yourself together always and everywhere, but there are exactly six times a week when the way you dress really, really matters. Five of those are from about nine to about five during the workweek, and they can be pretty tough. But the sixth is date night, and it is not to be underestimated. Especially when this particular sixth day happens to be first-date night. Because an impression, like a good outfit, is difficult to make, but when your etiquette is in concert with your wardrobe, well, good things happen. The first thing you need to realize is that your presentation of yourself shows your level of respect for her, and... See? We're already dropping tips before the list actually starts.
Women are obsessed with shoes. Not just their own shoes or shoes on other women — your shoes. So wear nice ones, because her judging you on them is unavoidable. Pick an appropriate pair — lace-ups or loafers for the evening; driving shoes, moccasins, or simple sneakers for the afternoon; flip-flops for nothing, ever — and you've scored points before the handshake.
Going out with her, especially for the first time, is an occasion. Dress for it. Don't sweat the tie, but a jacket would be an excellent idea.
Unless your destination requires a tie. Then wear one. But check first — you don't want to feel too dressy.
Also, don't wear a suit. This might seem counterintuitive, but hear us out: If you are going to the opera, fine. The theater, maybe. Otherwise, you'll seem uptight. Sure, the nicest things you own are probably those suits of yours, but those suits are for work — leave them in the dry-cleaning bag 'til Monday. Your goal on date night is to be at leisure, or at least maintain the illusion of it. And separates, or a nice sweater, will convey just that.
Wear clothes that fit you. This chart helps — and it always applies, but now more than ever. The ultimate goal of this exercise is to see each other naked. Might as well give her a reasonable approximation of your dimensions underneath.
Grooming: clip your fingernails, wash your hair. Women check the details. They look at a man's hands more often than a man looks at his own. Make sure yours are presentable. They'll see those little flakes on your shoulder, too, so don't be too shy to break out the dandruff shampoo. If this is a problem for you, avoid wearing a dark shirt.
Take it easy on the cologne. They like it when you smell nice, but there's no need to bludgeon the poor woman.
Don't wear anything to which the words "zany" or "interesting" might apply. T-shirts with sayings on them, your "Mr. Burns for Mayor" pin, dad's old hunting cap — they're not going to show her how clever you are. Your words and actions will. New jokes help, too.
Put your phone on silent.
Check your fly.

simple se blowing rectifier and fuse
Guys, i just finished assembling my simple se and on powering up it is fine for about 5 seconds then the rec tube crackles and it blows the fuse, this happens with all tubes fitted or just the rectifier. . . .
Any pointers as to what can cause this? I'm so fed up as iv'e been looking forward to this all day p.s, this happens even if i swap the rec tube for another |

Can you tell us more about your setup? What power transformers? What B+ voltage do you see? Any pictures of the PCB? Have you tried with the output transformers disconnected? Sounds like a short somewhere or an incorrect resistor value or something along those lines. Check your work, especially the resistors and the polarity of the capacitors in the power supply section.

The transformer is a hammond 373 bx, im using 6l6gc tubes and a gz34 rectifier tube, no freds, and the output trannies are not yet connected.
I can't measure the b+ at the mo as my meter batteries are flat! Everything looks fine, the amp powers up fine without the rec tube in, if the rec tube is installed the tubes glow for 5 seconds then the rec tube crackles and blows the fuse |

Are you using JJ GZ34s? I had a faulty one, and searching the web I discovered that there have been relatively many of them failing. Apparently a bad batch or something.

My faulty JJ had some metal flakes inside the bulb after the failure. You could check the valves for obvious visual faults like those flakes or misaligned parts. And of course, check your solder joints and double check parts values and possible shorts.

One other possibility causing fuse blowing...
Double check the installation of the high tension rectifier filter capacitors to assure they are installed correctly. If either of these accidentally got installed backwards, this will blow the fuse once the rectifier tube goes into conduction and begins to try and charge them. Thus, be sure the capacitors (+) terminal is oriented to the correct pad on both capacitors.

This is actually the more popular fragrance out of the 4 that MK has to offer in the body care line. I actually like the Reviatlizing the best because it has a citrus scent to it. This is a very strong floral that is not my preference. I think thst MK's body lotions are a bit overpriced but the quality is decent and the staying power of the scents are good. !.------------------------ 2007 UPDATE: If I want to pay what MK wants for this I'd rather buy high end brands or even MAC and Urban Decay.---------------------------------------------UPDATE: I used to love mk products but found out a lot of interesting information on pinktruth.com regarding the products and company. Turns out they are a bunch of scam artists after all. So sad.

I got a sample of this as an extra thru a swap. It's an okay moisturizer. Quite average to me. Very watery...The smell is really similar to Oil of Olay 7effects face cream, which I love, so I was excited about this. I put some on my hands and it when it dries, it kind of turns sour like under the initial lovely scent. Not great.

There is a new UI in the "ppt" of openoffice:that black square which can add some media into it.But,Why don't you try to use this to be the 4.0 UI of openoffice 4? At the same time,you can have a try,to let the function to add media better:more format or more media,and you can try to let "ppt" be like flash,for some profational "ppt" maker. And the art font has some problem while it save by a imagge,and the type of it are not very many.I think I need not to tell any thing more about it. have a good time with no over float a user | |

Conspirator avec parasol?
So Oliver Stone's theory is that an extra man was placed in plain sight in Dealey Plaza, pumping an umbrella open and closed over his head on a sunny afternoon, so he could signal the shooters when to shoot or not shoot, despite the fact that any shooter in an elevated position with a telescopic site would have a far better view of the President than anyone at street level.CUT TO: the sixth floor shooter firing rapidly and missing Kennedy but hitting Connally (stand in).JIM (VOICE OVER) Connally is hit, his mouth drops, he yells out, "My God, they're going to kill us all" . . . Here . . .
CUT TO: the umbrella man pumping his umbrella.(1)JIM (V. O.) . . . the umbrella man is signaling "He's not dead. Keep shooting." . . .
For some reason, Oliver Stone does not inform the viewer that the "Umbrella Man," as he has become known, was identified in 1978 by the House Select Committee investigating the assassination. His name is Louie Steven Witt.
Here is an excerpt from Witt's testimony before the Committee:
Mr. GENZMAN. Why were you carrying an umbrella that day?Now, why would Oliver Stone portray the infamous Umbrella Man as a conspirator in John F. Kennedy's assassination without even telling his audience about Louie Steven Witt?Mr. WITT. Actually, I was going to use this umbrella to heckle the President's motorcade.
Mr. GENZMAN. How had you gotten this idea?
Mr. WITT. In a coffee break conversation someone had mentioned that the umbrella was a sore spot with the Kennedy family. Being a conservative-type fellow, I sort of placed him in the liberal camp and I was just going to kind of do a little heckling.
Mr. GENZMAN. Are you saying you were going to use the umbrella as a symbol for the purpose of heckling?
Mr. WITT. I think that would cover it. . . .(2)
Article continues below.
Louie Steven Witt in action
Mr. GENZMAN. You testified that you were opening the umbrella to use it as a symbol hoping to catch the President's eye?
Mr. WITT. Yes, sir.
Mr. GENZMAN. Could you elaborate further as to the type of symbol you thought you were applying?
Mr. WITT. . . . I just knew the vague generalities of it. It had something to do with something that happened years ago with the senior Joe Kennedy when he was Ambassador to England. . . .(3)
Mr. GENZMAN. Mr. Witt, some assassination critics have alleged your actions with your umbrella were a signal to an assassin or to assassins to fire or a signal that the President had in fact been hit. Were you signaling to anyone besides the President?
Mr. WITT. No; no one. . . .(4)
Mr. FAUNTROY. I wonder if you would care to tell us a little more about your understanding of the significance of the umbrella, and why you felt that it would heckle the president to raise the umbrella?
Mr. WITT. . . . It had something to do with . . . when the senior Mr. Kennedy was Ambassador to England, and the Prime Minister [Neville Chamberlain], some activity they had had in appeasing Hitler. The umbrella that the Prime Minister of England came back with got to be a symbol in some manner with the British people. By association, it got transferred ot the Kennedy family, and, as I understood, it was a sore spot with the Kennedy family, like I said, in coffee break conversations someone had mentioned, I think it is one of the towns in Arizona, it is Tucson or Phoenix, that someone had been out at the airport or some place where some members of the Kennedy family came through and they were rather irritated by the fact that they were brandishing the umbrellas. This is how the idea sort of got stuck in my mind. . . . This was in a conversation somewhere at work. I wish that I could remember now who brought the subject up and put this idea in my head. I am sure that I would have taken that umbrella and clouted him over the head somewhere in this last 2 or 3 weeks.(5)
Article continues below.
Instead of beating a hasty retreat, Witt
sits down on the curb as newsmen appear
Mr. WITT. [After the assassination occurred] I was somewhat stunned . . . Once the realization . . . [that something terrible had happened] . . . I was stunned. . . . I think one [of] my reactions was knowing that I was there with this stupid umbrella and heckling the President and -- of course, I didn't know that the President had been killed. As a matter of fact, I didn't know he had been shot. I just knew that something had happened by the activity and what seemed to be in the air around me. But I think my own thinking may have been at the time that -- I would have to describe it as a -- kind of like a bad joke that had gone sour, or a practical joke you pulled on someone that had gone sour, since I was there with this thing, and for that purpose.
Mr. FAUNTROY. Mr. Witt, is it your testimony that at no time did the Dallas police or the FBI contact you about your presence at Dealey Court Plaza at this time?
Mr. WITT. No. . . . I have always wondered why they didn't, but . . . so far as I know, no one ever made any attempt to find out who I was or why I was there.
Mr. FAUNTROY. When did you find out that you were a subject of suspicion; that is, that the umbrella man was somehow involved in the assassination?
Mr. WITT. When the committee sent these things to the newspapers, and it was printed in the local papers, in the Dallas paper there. . . .
Mr. FAUNTROY. So . . . is it your testimony that you did not learn that somebody was concerned about the umbrella man until 10 or 15 years after, until 1978 -- only in 1978 were you aware?
Mr. WITT. Well, as far as I know, no one was concerned with me.
Mr. FAUNTROY. So that explains, therefore, why you did not yourself contact the FBI or the police . . . because . . . you were not aware that someone with an umbrella in Dealey Plaza was an object of interest?
Mr. WITT. No. As a matter of fact, I wasn't aware that I was an object of interest. As a matter of fact, I have found out since -- within the last few weeks, that there have been countless numbers of books and all sorts of controversies over this thing. But I drifted along all of these years and I have never seen one of these books because I have never been a fan of this assassination thing. I don't go out of my way to read anything about it. So it sort of all has gone over my head up until the last few weeks.
Mr. FAUNTROY. Now, is it your testimony that you did in fact see this picture in the papers in July of this year?
Mr. WITT. I saw this picture right here, the blurred picture in the lower right-hand corner.
Mr. FAUNTROY. And did you recognize it as yourself?
Mr. WITT. After I read it, yes.
Mr. FAUNTROY. Why didn't you come forward then?
Mr. WITT. Quite frankly I . . . didn't want anybody to know who I was. . . . And I would say further that, had you never found me, I would have been far happier than I am right at this moment. . . .(6)
Article continues below.
Another shot of Witt staying put as photographers prowl the scene
Mr. EDGAR. . . . Were you frightened about the fact that you had deliberately set out to cause a scene or an embarrassment to the President?
Mr. WITT. Not frightened as such, but at that time there was a great deal of what I would have to describe as hysteria in the Dallas area about the President being killed. It could have been extremely unwise for me to have volunteered and become known at that time. It could have been dangerous to me or my family.
Mr. EDGAR. In what way would it have been dangerous to you or your family?
Mr. WITT. Well, you would have had to have lived in the city to be aware of how things were then . . .
Mr. EDGAR. Were you afraid to go privately to the Dallas Police Department and share the information of what you saw with a police officer in the privacy of a room at the police station?
Mr. WITT. I really don't know. I really think if I had any real thought on this -- and I can't recall one way or the other -- it would be my guess that my line of thinking was I really had nothing to offer other than just having done a foolish thing.
Mr. EDGAR. Were you concerned about the foolishness of your act or were you concerned about the retribution that might come to you?
Mr. WITT. I don't know what my line of thinking was. But I think it would have been both. . . .(7)
Article continues below. Mr. FITHIAN. . . . Mr. Chairman . . . I am afraid perhaps some might not get the clear significance of the umbrella as the symbol. Ambassador Kennedy took a rather merciless treatment subsequent to his placing his own belief in Neville Chamberlain's policies. These of course came in great disrepute after Winston Churchill became Prime Minister and alter the Munich Conference broke down. . . . I meant to say for the benefit of the witness more than anyone else the sensitivity of the late Kennedy on this point stems not only because of the close family relationship but because he was secretary to his father the ambassador during a part of that tenure, and I think it was all the more kind of a personal thing, and he went on, of course, to write the award-winning thesis at Harvard entitled While England Slept, and a lot of people believe that was again sort of his own trying to wrestle with this bad taste that was left in the mouth of the American people because of Ambassador Kennedy's interpretation of the German British pact at Munich. . . .(8)

Mr. WITT. I do not think I have any comment. I cannot really think of anything else that I could offer the committee which would be of any help to them. . . . The only other thing that I would care to say is that I think if the Guinness Book of World Records had a category for people who were at the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing, I would be No. 1 in that position, without even a close runner-up.(9)

The Glendale Unified School District discussed the increase in K-12 spending as dictated by Gov. Jerry Brown's latest budget proposal, which will see school districts receive an influx of Proposition 98 funds. Though education spending has been down, members of the board wanted to temper their excitement over the new funds, which district officials say still does not bring GUSD up to its target funding levels.
Superintendent Dr. Richard Sheehan said that the budget is "for the most part, very positive to education," but also said, "What we have to keep in mind is this is a restoration of funds. This is not new money. This is money that we had at one time and we lost. So as the governor fully restores our funding at the target date of 2020-21, we will be where we were at 2007-08."
GUSD Chief Business and Financial Officer Robert McEntire led the report regarding the governor's 2015-16 budget proposal. In it, McEntire said that there will be a 4.1% increase in education funding next year.
However, with the governor's office focusing on reducing spending across the board, funds for K-12 education were often deferred, including over $900,000 to GUSD. McEntire said that the target amount the district would receive is $227 million at full implementation under the Local Control Funding Formula. The district actually received $181.9 million this year. McEntire said the governor has agreed to fund 32.19% or $14.5 million of the $45 million gap.
Among the district's concerns with the budget are spending for certain programs such as Common Core while also trying to make up lost funds from years of deferrals.
The budget proposes over $1 billion in one-time Proposition 98 funds to go towards Common Core as well as paying back funds for other older, mandated programs.
"The Governor does want to pay some of it, but he wants to suggest that we put that money towards Common Core, so he's double dipping," said McEntire. "We have a lot of activities that have been foregone because we had to cover these mandated costs that now have to be covered with this money."
The growth of CALPERS and CALSTRS, the state's pension funds, will also require a significant portion of the new funding, according to district officials.
"As we know, the retirement system for the teachers and classified employees are both woefully underfunded at the state level and in order to solve that problem, the government has proposed the state, school districts and employees all pitch in to cover that," said McEntire. "The school districts are going to bear, by far, the biggest proportion of that cost."
McEntire said that the cost of the district's retirement plan would "more than double over the next five years" and consequently "subtract from the district's ability to implement all these new programs and eat up over 30% of every new dollar that comes into the district."
"What the governor's doing is putting the retirement on the backs of the districts in a lot of ways here. This is a very dysfunctional way of running an organization," said GUSD Board of Education President Greg Krikorian. "They're taking away dollars from us that we're going to need to sustain certain programs."
The Governor's proposal for a rainy day fund, stemming from Proposition 2, creates a Rainy Day Fund for the state and could also have an effect on the district's ability to fund programs.
According to the budget, deposits into the Rainy Day Fund would place temporary caps on local school district reserves. McEntire said the district could be required to spend down their reserves to 6%, which he called a "very precarious situation" which could "have a tremendous impact on the way we operate and would impact our bargaining units and our employees on a day-to-day basis."
However, the Legislative Analyst's Office has issued a report recommending a repeal of the Rainy Day cap on school districts.
"With all this new money, we have gone from 50th in the nation in spending per child to 46th," said Sheehan. "I think it's a sad point when we're proud that we're 46 out of 50 states in funding for education."
The budget will be revised in May and adopted on June 16.
Not all was gloomy, however, as the GUSD board started off their regular meeting by honoring 35 students who participated in the Reflections program, which emphasizes the importance of arts in education. The students, participating in the fields of visual arts, film video, production and literature, were honored with the top three from primary, intermediate, middle, senior and special schools in each category receiving awards Tuesday night. Other students not present Tuesday night also participated in the fields of dance, music composition and photography.
Students created their projects with the theme "The world would be a better place if…" in mind.
Kevin Cordova-Brookey, Reflections chairperson for Glendale Council PTA, said that judges had to choose from amongst 291 entries from over 600 students throughout the district.
Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Kelly King also led a presentation on district math courses over a three-year period. King took data from the first semester grades from middle schools and high schools over that three year span, covering both classes before and during Common Core implementation.
King's findings said that the variation between grades from year to year was minimal in almost all math courses throughout the district. King said that those courses either showed increases or maintaining of the amount of "A" and "B" grades in those courses over the years.
"At this stage of the implementation of Common Core, we're not seeing large shifts in the grade distributions," said King.
King did say that in Algebra 1A, Geometry concepts, Trigonometry and AP Calculus AB, there were slight increases in the amount of "F" grades.
"Those are courses that we'd like to look at to see what characteristics might be common amongst the students that are struggling at those levels and what type of intervention can we offer in the course or at the schools," said King.
At other meetings, parents, including Board President Greg Krikorian, brought up concerns with Common Core math standards, which they said has resulted in poor grades since the implementation, even in generally successful students.

I got so caught up in the whirl of Vintage at Goodwood yesterday that I didn't take a single photo! I tried to do better today. Vintage is awesome, by the way - I'm having the best weekend! Yesterday I spent most of the day shopping - trying to snap up the bargains before they all went. I bought two fantastic 1940s dresses from Tasty Vintage's stall. I also invested in one of What Katie Did's bullet bras, which is extremely comfortable - I'm planning a review of this and the corset I recently bought from them.
There are at least two beauty parlours on-site, which will do hair and make-up, but I couldn't make an appointment, so these frizzy little victory rolls were all mine :)
Shortly after arriving I met up with Retro Chick - looking "peachy" in a fabulous 50s dresss (from ebay US if I recall) - for some Pimm's, which was v jolly. I also caught up with another blogging idol, Fleur de Guerre, at The Chap Olympiad. Unfortunately I got a bit star struck and came over as a bit of a gibbering fool, but never mind (Hi Fleur, I'm really quite eloquent in real life, honest!).
Meanwhile, I was selected as one of the 'best dressed' by Sunday Times Style magazine and invited to participate in a little catwalk parade. I also got photographed by Grazia magazine, a researcher for Miss Selfridge and Spanish national newspaper El Pais.
I finished my day watching The Noisettes' set on the main stage.
Tomorrow I'm planning to spend more or less the whole day in the 1950s Let It Rock arena and the 1940s Torch Club, since I haven't managed to make it inside either yet!

"We hope, along with Michael Schumacher and his family, that his injuries will heal and he will recover. We wish his wife, his children and the rest of his family strength and mutual support", Seibert also said at this delicate time for all involved.

President Obama's proposed budget for the USDA would phase out direct farm payments for operations generating more that half million dollars in revenue annually. Regional Manager of the Iowa Farm Bureau Jerry Anderson says direct farm payments are payments farmers received based on their production history for their crops. Anderson says while half a million in annual sales sound like a huge operation, last year with beans in the teens and higher prices it wouldn't take a huge operations to trigger that limitation. He says in years where prices are lower such as this year direct payments can help farmers not lose money. The savings from the cut would go to a child nutrition program.

Alice Sparberg Alexiou's history of one of New York's earliest skyscrapers and enduring icons is thorough and sprawling. With the invention of the elevator, building developers realized they could maximize their expensive real estate investments by building higher and higher; the city quickly grew into the metropolis we know today. This audiobook not only documents the history of the triangular skyscraper from its origins with the Fuller Company, but also the history of the Madison Square neighborhood where it resides and the giant city evolving around it. A. Savlas gives a measured and leisurely performance here. She beautifully evokes the story of this celebrated structure and the famous, infamous, and average New Yorkers who financed, built, criticized, loved, and photographed it again and again.
The marvelous story of the Flatiron: the instantly recognizable building that signaled the start of a new era in New York history.
Critics hated it. The public feared it would topple over. Passersby were knocked down by the winds. But even before it was completed, the Flatiron Building had become an unforgettable part of New York City.
The Flatiron Building was built by the Chicago-based Fuller Company - a group founded by George Fuller, "the father of the skyscraper" - to be their New York headquarters. The company's president, Harry Black, was never able to make the public call the Flatiron the Fuller Building, however. Black's was the country's largest real estate firm, constructing Macy's department store, and soon after the Plaza Hotel, the Savoy Hotel, and many other iconic buildings in New York as well as in other cities across the country. With an ostentatious lifestyle that drew constant media scrutiny, Black made a fortune only to meet a tragic, untimely end.
In The Flatiron, Alice Sparberg Alexiou chronicles not just the story of the building but the heady times in New York at the dawn of the 20th century. It was a time when Madison Square Park shifted from a promenade for rich women to one for gay prostitutes; when photography became an art; motion pictures came into existence; the booming economy suffered increasing depressions; jazz came to the forefront of popular music - and all within steps of one of the city's best-known and best-loved buildings.

"Delightful and vivid!"
I was very pleasantly surprised by this book which not only gave an insightful account of the origins of the Flat Iron Building, but also vividly and intimately brought to life New York at the turn of the century. It made me feel like I was right there!
"Couldn't finish it"
The topic is very interesting. However, the author included a lot of suppositions about what people thought. It didn't come across as well researched.
The narrator mispronounced foreign words and her timing was off.
These comments are based on two hours of listening. Be sure to listen to the book before purchasing.

Hi Chrissie!
I'm so excited to connect wth another fellow teacher, especially one so close to home! I teach Algebra I in Virginia Beach. I got a Smart Board about 4 years ago and love it. I am still learning new things and am constantly creating new activities. As far as the game template, I created it myself! They take FOREVER to create, but they kids absoutely adore them.
I make them all in PowerPoint, it takes some playing around, but eventually you get the hang of it. I sell my game templates in my TpT store if you're interested in checking them out. Here are some links:

Report: Violence Rife in Poor Public Schools
The Commonwealth Foundation has announced the results of an alarming new analysis of school violence that has uncovered more than 4,500 criminal acts that occurred at the 141 public schools scoring worst in the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment.
Using data from the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Safe Schools Online, policy analysts at the free-market think tank discovered that over the 2009-2010 school term these academically failing schools counted up more than:
100 indecent or sexual assaults
225 indecent exposures
nearly 2,600 assaults on students and staff
more than 330 cases of reckless endangerment
more than 500 weapons possessions and terroristic threats
On average, only 32 percent of students at these schools were able to reach proficiency in reading, 38 percent in math.
"When the 'Three Rs' have turned from reading, writing and arithmetic to run, report and recover, we don't have a state of education, we have a state of emergency," said Matthew J. Brouillette, President and CEO of the Commonwealth Foundation.
"As many adults debate whether a school rescue bill is needed in Pennsylvania, children trapped in these violent and failing public schools are forced to survive unconscionable, undeniable and unacceptable conditions."
An important point: students currently attending all the schools identified in the analysis would be eligible for rescue under proposed legislation.
Philadelphia schools accounted for more than half of those on the academically failing list, including Germantown High School, where only 8 percent of 11th graders scored proficient in math, with only 17 percent in reading, writes the press release.
"To let children suffer in the status quo when successful and tax-saving alternatives abound is simply unjust," said Brouillette, a former high school teacher, school board member and father of four children. "Giving parents and children options to choose a viable education in a safe environment isn't just right because it saves kids, it will also save taxpayer money."
The Commonwealth Foundation aims to support the expansion of school choice programs in Pennsylvania, including significant expansion of the state's successful Education Improvement Tax Credit program, charter schools, and opportunity scholarships like those recently proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett.

- The bits are of good quality and I like the idea behind labelling everything in the box.

- The plastic clips for holding the larger bits are easy to snap. Wished it was made of more solid construction. Mine snapped whilst taking out to show a friend. Embarrassing.

Exhibition review: Polish Art Now, Saatchi Gallery, London, June 4-9 2013
Seeking to rectify the stunning lack of knowledge surrounding Poland's evolving contemporary art scene, curator Sacha Craddock has brought together a diverse collection chronicling the highlights of creative achievement from the past 50 years.
Presented by fine art auctioneers and champions of Warsaw-based talent Abbey House, this is the first time a UK space has held an exhibition with a solely Polish set of names on the bill.
Art literate UK audiences may be familiar with names like Andrei Jackowski, but this varied mix, ranging from abstract prints of the 1960s to conceptual sculptures by the rising stars of today, brings you neatly up to speed in a here's-what-you-might-have-missed style.
The hope is that, by increasing international awareness of Polish Art, there'll come a point where the 'Polish' prefix will drop out of the discussion entirely.
With the exhibition scheduled for a short six-day run, this is a limited time only offer. So if you're intrigued to discover what's been happening in the hidden-away studios of Eastern Europe – and you should be – then make sure you find your way to Saatchi gallery sharpish.
- Open 10am- 6pm daily. Admission free. Follow the gallery on Twitter @saatchi_gallery.
