They're also looking closely at an order placed for twenty all terrain vehicles for the Navy and it's also unclear as to how the Army are going to use a consignment of thirty torpedos.

The String Part 1
Hannah found a length of string
and brought it inside for Mum to see.
She rolled all round the floor with it
and wouldn't let Lucy have a go.
As you can see Lucy didn't want a go - much!!

In a random survey of party stores about the significance of these two particular days to their overall annual business, it was clear that the former remains a strong adult time for both large and small green-themed parties, celebrations needing colorful costumes, horns and trinkets, while the latter is a more subdued family time usually resulting in less revenue for party stores. As a result, the former provides a much stronger profit-producer during the first quarter each year; thus party stores allocate considerable display space, OTB and inventory mix to St. Patrick's Day, March 17.
For most surveyed, when it comes to Easter, they indicated some Easter merchandise is always included in their displays depending on the exact date each year, and they try to make sure they have available Easter decorations, tableware, baskets, with some reporting they also rent bunny costumes.

5:00 PM GMT on May 24, 20122 years later :) |
By: cchsweatherman , 9:50 PM GMT on October 12, 2010
Yesterday evening, Hurricane Hunters went into a strong disturbance in the Western Caribbean and discovered that Tropical Storm Paula. From that point on through this evening, Paula has intensified at a record pace and become a rather small, but impressive Category 2 hurricane. Just recently, the latest 5PM EST advisory was issued by the NHC and Hurricane Paula continues with 100 mph winds and a steady minimum pressure at the center around 981mb. Hurricane Paula is located about 100 miles from Cozumel, Mexico.
Figure 1: Latest Satellite Imagery of Hurricane Paula
Forecast Remains Uncertain
Over the next 24 to 48 hours, the forecast seems pretty certain as the storm will continue to proceed in a general northerly direction as a deep trof continues to dive across the Northern Gulf of Mexico. During this time, Hurricane Paula could experience some further intensification and could become a Category 3 sometime tomorrow.
Figure 2: Updated Computer Models for Hurricane Paula
Beyond that time frame, the forecast becomes very uncertain as reflected in the latest discussion from the NHC and with the wide forecast cone beyond 48 hours. There are three various scenarios that could occur with the storm when it reaches the Yucatan Channel area.
Scenario 1: Hurricane Paula continues to progress northward and strengthens further into a strong Category 2 or Category 3 hurricane. With a stronger and deeper storm, it comes under the influence more of the deep trof in the Gulf of Mexico. This brings the storm further north into the SW Gulf of Mexico and across South Florida as a strong tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane Friday. This scenario is suggested by all the GFS ensembles as well as NOGAPS and BAMD models.
Scenario 2: Hurricane Paula continues moving northward and strengthens little or maintains current strength. As the trof comes across the Gulf, it forces the storm eastward across the Florida Straits or Cuba while weakening the storm. It then gets shot across to the east and across the Bahamas then out to sea. This is currently the NHC thinking and the current thinking of the GFS, GFDL, and UKMET models.
Scenario 3: Hurricane Paula starts slowing its northward progression and weakens some as wind shear increases. The deep trof currently cutting across the Gulf breezes through Florida leaving Paula behind. This causes Paula to practically stall and meander across the Western Caribbean. This is currently depicted in the HWRF and CMC models.
Hurricane Paula continues as a rather small, but impressive and imposing Category 2 hurricane this evening and should move into the Yucatan Channel in the next 24 to 36 hours. After this time, things become quite uncertain and too early to make any decisive forecast, but given the strengthening that occurred this afternoon and continued opportunity to strengthen, I'm preferring the first scenario and a more northward track, possibly posing a threat to South Florida on Friday. But I'm not too certain and am not confident enough to make that my forecast.

Rookie question: how accurate are the Ensemble Computer Models? Plenty of soaking rain here in Key Biscayne but spotty. Great work all. Very interesting. |
Great update, very interesting scenarios! Hope it doesn't cause anyone too much grief. |
Thanks for the update, Paula is one amazing little powerhouse! |
Nice blog & update! |
Thanks for the informative post. Looks like the majority of those tracks head my way. By Wednesday evening I should know whether or not to button the place up. (again) |
Thanks for the update CCHS. |

Since we're new homeowners, we realize that there is a lot more to preparing for the cold weather than just breaking out our fall and winter wardrobes. We have to make sure all the little cracks and crevices are sealed and secure, we need to check our insulation, make sure our water lines don't freeze, and of course, we need to worry about our indoor air quality. But of course, since we have always rented before now, we were a bit clueless as to everything we need to do before winter sets in. But we definitely want to be well-prepared so we don't have any unexpected surprises.
Thankfully, I have a dear friend who lives in the Monroe, MI area who is an expert when it comes to all things handy. He actually relies on the folks at Iceberg's One Hour to keep him up to date on the best ways to prepare his home for winter. He just had a brand new furnace installed, and his tech was more than happy to give him the skinny on proper maintenance for winter. He has passed some of these tips along to us, so we can be sure to get our own Ohio home ready for the colder months. After all, we have basically the same climate as John has up in Michigan.
I visited the Iceberg's One Hour blog for more information, and I learned a lot about how indoor air quality directly affects health, as well as how to make sure my hot water heater and furnace are performing to their potential. (Have you ever lost heat or hot water in the middle of the winter? Not fun. Not fun at all.)
Also, I learned some great ways to save money on our home heating bill this winter. Simple things like making sure that door and window seals are tight and lowering the temperature on the hot water heater can make a huge difference in energy bills and help homeowners avoid sticker shock.
Hopefully, we won't have any issues with our heat or hot water this winter. We inspected our entire system, and everything appears to be on the up and up. But, as new homeowners, there is definitely a learning curve and sometimes experience is the best teacher. For example, we never really realized that "flushable" wipes really should not be flushed because they can cause the entire basement to flood with raw sewage.
How do you winter-proof your home? Do you have any tips or tricks that you can share? I'd love to hear them!

summary | As an intellectual and commercial activity of long tradition, publishing started an important mutation when using other supports than paper. Will research practices of information be then deeply affected ? Shall we assist to a metamorphosis implying deep changes, or will it be just an additional avatar, new uses added to the previous long list of modifications known by our old occidental culture ? Will there be a disruption or an adaptationin matter of scientific and technical information communication ? We shall try to bring to all these questions, if not full answers, at least some elements of thought. |

Reply to: | How to pronounce Desiree? by Mom-to-be |
On the accents you put on it:
Desirée: dez-ir-AY
Désirée: day-zir-AYThat is not proper French, but it's the way most people in Canada and America pronounce it as far as I know. The first form/pronunciation is by far the most common; in fact I wasn't aware of the second form until I found this site.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to find the optimal dose of retarded release Phosphatidylcholine in the most severe form of ulcerative colitis.
The hypothesis is that ulcerative colitis (UC) is caused by a barrier dysfunction of the colonic mucus layer. The background of the study is the finding, that the phosphatidylcholine (PC) content of the colonic mucus is strongly reduced in UC compared to healthy controls and patients with Crohn´s disease. The content was meuasured in non-inflamed areas of the colon in UC. Thus, we evaluate whether a substitution of colonic PC is an effective method.

Influence of Mulch, Tillage, and Diphenamid on Weed Control, Yield, and Quality in No-Till Flue-Cured Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)

Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of various densities of four fall-seeded small grain mulches and diphenamid (N,N-dimethyl-α-phenyl benzeneacetamide) on weed control, yield, and quality in no-till flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. 'McNair 944'). A greenhouse study investigated the effects of non-soil-incorporated mulch from the same small grains plus alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on various growth parameters of tobacco ('Speight G-70'). None of the mulches used in the greenhouse study adversely affected growth of the tobacco. Mulch from rye (Secale cereale L. 'Abruzzi') killed about 2 weeks before transplanting plus diphenamid provided better annual broadleaf weed control (85%) than wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'McNair'), barley (Hordeum vulgare L. 'Keowee'), and no mulch. Oat (Avena sativa L. 'Brooks') mulch resulted in 80% broadleaf weed control. There were no differences in annual grass control (which was short lived) among mulches but control was lower in the no-mulch treatment. Rye mulch resulted in a 22% increase in the control of broadleaf weeds compared to no-mulch. Yield of the no-till tobacco did not differ among mulches and averaged 82% of that conventionally grown. The quality was not affected. The rye mulch did not affect the yield or quality of tobacco when compared to a nonmulch, noncultivated treatment. The 18% decrease in the no-till yield was apparently the result of the lack of tillage and increased weed interference and was not due to adverse effects from the rye.

This year has seen some great feedback from the many writers here at AiG. We've covered everything from beneficial mutations to heavy rocks. And now we want you to help us pick the best feedback of the year. To make it easier, the editorial staff at AiG has selected ten of our favorite feedback responses from 2008. All ten are listed in chronological order below with a brief excerpt.
Please review the ten responses, select your favorite one (or put them in order with your favorite at the top and least favorite at the bottom), and send us a quick note telling us which one you like and why you like it. We'll tally the results and let you know which one came out on top of the heap next week.
Don't like any of these? Then let us know which one we missed (see our Feedback archive to review them all). Have ideas or questions for future feedback articles? We'd love to hear your thoughts on that, too.
Thank you for your help and for your great questions over the years. We thank God for your continued support and readership.
Is Science Enough?
The problem, however, was that even in "buying into" evolutionism, the story never quite seemed to fit. All the "scientific analysis" I was receiving from some of the foremost anthropologists in the country felt somehow hollow. It wasn't that they weren't brilliant—they most certainly are—it was something deeper than just fossils or dates or analyses. It was something at the core of the philosophy. It was't the science, per se, that acted as a wedge of doubt (though the hypothetico-deductive science doesn't add up either); it was the problem I had with the presuppositions.
Can We Prove God Without the Bible?
What [the questioner] is trying to do here, like many non-Christians, is set the ground rules for debate. Many non-Christians will say "leave the Bible out of it" when discussing God, creation, absolute truth, morality, or the Bible itself. They will usually claim that by leaving the Bible out of it, all participants will be starting on neutral ground. However, this is not neutral ground. Christians stand on the Word of God—it is our foundation (Luke 6:47–49)—and everything we believe and how we live is based on what it says. So, to leave out our very foundation, our building of defense will come crashing down.
Evidence of New Genetic Information?
That is not to say that sometimes mutations can't have beneficial outcomes, such as antibiotic resistance in bacteria, but this is not an example of new information being added. Mutations alter a current functional system (i.e., nutrient transport) in the bacteria that is the target of the antibiotic such that the bacteria are no longer affected by the antibiotic. It has come at the cost of that functional system performing its original function inefficiently or not at all. To get from bacteria to man, there must be a mechanism to add genetic information such as genes to make arms, legs, and brains. Thus, in reality "tweaking" the genome of a bacterium through duplication and mutation will not result in a human genome.
Are We Wasting Our Time?
If the millions of years are a fact, then God lied about the thorns. If God told the truth (I believe He did), then the millions of years are a lie. If Christians accept the millions of years, then they are also accepting (whether they realize it or not) that God calls cancer "very good," because cancer is found in dinosaur bones that are dated to be at least 65 million years old, dying long before Adam was created and sinned in a theistic evolutionist viewpoint. That would mean that a disease like Mary had was also very good. During her life I expect that God showed you in many ways the truth of His promise in Romans 8:28 to cause her illness to work for good in your lives. God brought good out of her suffering, but her illness itself was not good.
Does Logic Supersede the Bible?
Let me start by pointing out that we do not simply infer that the Bible is God's Word. Rather we accept this presuppositionally as our ultimate starting point. An argument cannot go on forever; therefore, all chains of argumentation must end in an ultimate commitment—a standard that cannot be established from something more foundational than itself (otherwise it would not be ultimate). Since an ultimate standard cannot be proved from anything beyond itself, it must be self-attesting—and the Bible is. It claims to be God's Word, and one either accepts that claim or does not. (However, as we'll see, not accepting that claim leads to irrationality.)
Are There Beneficial Mutations?
But are there such things as beneficial mutations? In short, no, but let me explain. While I have yet to see evidence of a truly beneficial mutation, I have seen evidence of mutations with beneficial outcomes in restricted environments. Mutations are context dependent, meaning their environment determines whether the outcome of the mutation is beneficial.
A Rock So Big . . .
In other words, this question first assumes that gravity is greater than God. How can something God creates be greater than God? The assumption is illogical right from the start, and thus the question is illogical right from the start—this is called the contrary-to-the-premise fallacy. Since this question assumes God is bound to His creation, it cannot be referring to the Creator God of the Bible.
Literally Hurting the Gospel?
However, a more important idea introduced in the first chapter of Genesis is not creation/evolution or the age of the earth, but that God was in the beginning. This isn't a distant, white-bearded figure; this is the account of the Creator of all things who took a direct hand in making the universe: how He brooded over the waters directly Himself, and how He fashioned humans with His own hands. Genesis 1 is not just about how life arose or when; it's about the uniqueness, sovereignty, and power of Yahweh, the God of the Bible.
Searching for Truth
Think of it like this; you have in front of you an amazingly complex machine, unlike anything you have ever seen before, and you want to understand where the machine came from, what the machine does, and how it does it. As you stand examining the machine a man approaches you and says, "This manual was written by the inventor of this machine and explains how the machine works, why it was designed, and how to maintain and repair it." Being the skeptic that you are, you reject the manual and tell the man that you can figure this all out on your own using "skeptical" methods and your own reasoning.
Does the Majority Rule?
While we're glad to hear you find at least some of our arguments convincing, we want to make it clear that we're not just preaching and arguing for creation or merely our point of view. Rather, we're pointing to God's Word that clearly teaches that the world—and all life—was created in the first six days of Creation Week, some 6,000 years ago. This truth is not contingent on our arguments; rather, it's the fundamental Word of God that one either accepts or rejects. That acceptance or rejection then colors how each of us interpret the scientific evidence.
Be sure to let us know your favorite.
With Gentleness
I have been so impressed by the spirit in which your site is written the mature, gracious way in which you deal with objections, and the clear, fresh proclamation of the good news that I have kept coming back and back. A few months ago I would have said I believed God used evolution to make the world. Now I would say that he created it in six days. I feel stronger in my witness and desire to evangelise, and have a new interest in exploring the workings of nature.
I hope and pray that you will carry on your work in the spirit in which you have begun, 'with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander'.
Loving Science
Though well educated, I never really cared for science. Now, I spend countless hours listening to or reading about thrilling presentations on the seeing eye, our glorious cosmos, etc! I am wondering if the skeptics and scorners ever stop to realize that, despite their differences on origins, AiG is an extremely abundant source of excellent information on science.
I great big THANK YOU to all the great teachers at AiG! I cannot tell you how fascinating your presentations are!

Atlanta Braves Selling Tickets For As Low As $2.60/Game. What's The Catch?
As a lifelong Phillies fan, especially one whose formative years were spent watching the Atlanta Braves repeatedly mow down the rest of the National League for the better part of two decades, it's not without some joy that I revel in the fact that the last-place Braves have had to resort to rock-bottom pricing to get fans in seats. At the same time, as someone who cares about protecting consumers, I have to point out the fine print in this bargain. [More]
Miami Marlins Respond To Flagging Attendance By Suing Season Ticket Holders
The idea of pro sports team suing its biggest fans may seem counter-intuitive, but try telling that to the Miami Marlins. Since 2013, the team — which ranks 27th out of 30 Major League Baseball teams in attendance — has reportedly sued at least nine fans with season tickets or luxury suite contracts, while also fighting legal battles against bankrupt stadium vendors.

MLB Commissioner Asks All Teams To Extend Safety Nets
Following a high-profile lawsuit alleging that Major League Baseball and team owners had been putting fans at risk by not extending safety net coverage all the way from home plate to the foul poles, the league's commissioner is now calling on all 30 teams to increase the netting, but nowhere near as far as the foul poles.

Lawsuit Over Safety Nets At Major League Baseball Parks Details Dozens Of Fan Injuries Since July
A little more than three months ago, a class-action lawsuit filed against Major League Baseball called for the installation of safety nets that would extend all the way to both of the foul poles.

Supreme Court Shuts Down Attempt To Move Oakland A's To San Jose
Professional sports teams relocate all the time — just ask the NFL's Oakland Raiders, who moved moved to L.A. and then back home again in a little more than a decade (and who are among the lead prospects to fill the pro football void in L.A.).

If a new lawsuit has its way, my dream of someday catching a foul ball will become even more of a fantasy. [More]
Did The St. Louis Cardinals Hack Houston Astros' Front Office? FBI Investigating
Major League Baseball is a huge business and much of a team's financial success depends on its ability to win on the field. So the idea of one team possibly breaching another team's network to get information on player personnel isn't very different from two rival manufacturers trying to steal trade secrets. That's why the FBI is investigating claims that the St. Louis Cardinals might have hacked into the computer network for the Houston Astros' front office. [More]

Sony have launched two new additions to their bluetooth headphone range this week. Both the DR-BT100CX (in-ear style) and DR-BT101 (overhead style) feature Sony's noise cancelling technology which we were able to recently test out in their superbly comfortable MDR-XB700.
But unlike the MDR-XB700, bluetooth headphones as you can imagine are wire-free, much more convenient to use and to put away when not needed. Additionally, both the DR-BT100CX and DR-BT101 will offer up to 12 hours of wireless play time before another recharge via USB.
Full press release to follow after the jump…
We were sent the latest Sony stereo headphones MDR-XB700 over the weekend for a review. At first glance, it looks pretty impressive and we can understand what the buzz of it over the last two weeks was all about. We have taken a few pictures of the headphones for you to check out first. Our full review of its sound quality and performance will follow later in the week!

Water intake and protein:carbohydrate ratio confound Drosophilia calorie restriction studies, implications?
Ja et al. (1) recently published the results of a study exploring how hydration and nutrient manipulation effects the results of calorie restriction in Drosophilia.
In non mammalian models, feeding rate is difficult to control, and often food is diluted with water without giving them a separate source of water. Therefore, the specimens could be dehydrated and this could impact lifespan. In mammal models of calorie restriction, water is given ab libitum.

Just written medio August 201, for Poetfreak.
Recently last July I was invited by a good friend to come to Paris.
When still living in the tropics I loved to study Beaux Arts in Paris, but....since I was the only girl (be noted: my big bro was the only boy....LOL...) , my mom forbade me, I may not study in Heidelberg either! Since then Paris had become its home in my head, i really enjoyed my very first visit to Paris, i was really very excited...and last July I was back again in Paris, this time I was invited....all previous times I invited myself...
Paris was my first Love
so excited for the first time
I thank God above, my love
have met Paris again and a good rhyme
Paris was my first Love
but not my last
I forget sometimes the Present
but I'll never do that with the Past

Not just jumping through hoops: Students at a KIPP charter school in Houston, where reading standards well exceed national averages (Pat Sullivan/AP)
At an ordinary school, sitting and watching a Christmas production is not often an appealing prospect. As Sartre probably should have put it, Hell is other people's children in nativity plays. But we weren't sitting in an ordinary school. By the time a group of outrageously talented ten-year-olds from the Bronx in New York had rapped and joked their way through a production worthy of Broadway, nobody doubted their closing number's assertion that "there ain't no stopping us now", or the journalist Jay Townsend's view that this was one of "the most promising schools in America".
That school, KIPP Academy, is part of the Knowledge is Power Programme (KIPP), a network of 109 charter schools (publicly-funded schools free from the local school district's control) which has transformed education for students from poorer families across the United States. Charter schools have had a mixed record in some states, but KIPP's remarkable schools, with 85 per cent of their pupils on free or subsidised meals, have proved, once and for all, that poorer pupils fail in education not because they have inferior talent, or even because they grow up in inferior socioeconomic environments, but because they attend inferior schools. Instead, however, of uniting the country behind the challenge of raising school standards for the poorest, the success of KIPP and other charter schools has ignited a ferocious battle for the soul of American education.
At KIPP Academy, situated in one of America's poorest school districts, 75 per cent of pupils achieve above the national average in maths and reading. This educational alchemy is repeated across America, as KIPP schools from Houston (where more than 97 per cent of eighth-graders passed their state reading and maths exams in 2009) to Colorado (where the Sunshine Academy in an impoverished neighbourhood is a state centre of excellence) achieve outstanding results in communities where schools had failed for generations. Only 41 per cent of pupils from the poorest quartile of families go to college in America, a fact which epitomises stagnant social mobility. Among KIPP pupils it is 85 per cent.
At least at presidential level, the necessity of school reform is one of the few things Republicans and Democrats can agree on. George W. Bush made charters central to his "No child left behind" bill. Barack Obama introduced a "Race to the top" programme that explicitly linked state funding to removing the barriers to charter schools. KIPP has received the backing of high-profile figures, including the founders of The Gap, Doris and the late Don Fisher (who have given around $65 million over the last decade), and Bill and Melinda Gates, who pledged $10 million to the chain two years ago through the Gates Foundation that only funds projects which have demonstrated their effectiveness.
KIPP's success has been achieved through a radically new approach to education. Old theories about the silver bullets of more money or smaller class sizes have been discarded in favour of a relentless focus on accountability and achievement. KIPP recruits elite teachers who work much longer days in a much longer school year (7.30am-5.30pm with a reduced summer holiday and regular Saturday school). In a symbol of their all-encompassing commitment, staff give pupils their mobile phone numbers in case they need any help with homework.
Teachers are paid by performance (bonuses can be 10 per cent or more of salary), and action is taken rapidly if expected standards aren't met. Principals walk the corridors, entering lessons unannounced and asking to see lesson plans with no notice (in England headteachers in state schools are banned by union agreements from observing their teachers for more than three hours a year). This is all supported by professional and leadership training at the high-quality KIPP Foundation.
The strong demands KIPP places on teachers are matched by its very high expectations of pupils. In a country where a young black man is more likely to go to prison than to college, KIPP's mainly black or Latino pupils are in year groups named after the year they will enter higher education, while teachers decorate their classrooms with banners from their own college days. Just in case pupils are in any doubt about expectations, motivational messages on classroom walls remind them. The most common reads: "THERE ARE NO EXCUSES."
Excuses are also running out for those who defend a status quo in which the college completion rate for low-income pupils is just a quarter of that achieved by KIPP students. For decades the message from the education establishment was that until socioeconomic disadvantages were removed children from poor families were destined to fail. This was aptly termed "the soft bigotry of low expectations". KIPP, and other successful charters, have torpedoed this position with the hard facts of high attainment.
As the black mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker, has noted, we are presented with the perverse situation of organisations opposing schools because they have been successful in circumstances where others had failed. At the centre of this opposition are the immensely powerful teaching unions, who by negotiating teacher contracts running to hundreds of pages have successfully dominated school life. These contracts have made it nearly impossible to fire teachers. In an extreme example, a teacher who had been videoed putting a child's head down a toilet was reinstated. With back-pay. As the teacher union leader Albert Shanker is said to have remarked, "When children start paying union dues, I'll start representing the interests of children."
This union power has been integral to creating a system based on a belief in ever-greater centralisation and teachers' job security. Children are allocated places by the central school boards and the content of their education is dictated by negotiation between politicians and the unions, giving parents no choice and schools no incentive to innovate or improve. Teachers achieve tenure (permanent employment) after three years of service, and are then paid and promoted based on years of service. One state has actually made it illegal to use student performance as a factor in rewards. The abysmal results of this system are explained away by socioeconomic factors.
By challenging this ideology successful charter schools have run headlong into vituperative opposition from the education establishment, buttressed by the enormous power of the teaching unions. They are the largest political campaign contributors in the US and use their financial muscle to support sympathetic politicians or, more importantly, oppose candidates who challenge their ideology or threaten their domination.
In May this year the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) joined with the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) to file a lawsuit to stop the opening or expansion of 20 charter schools in New York. This lawsuit caused widespread confusion over what schools 7,000 children would attend after the summer break and provoked a march of 2,500 mostly black parents demanding people stop playing politics with the life chances of their children. Their response demonstrates the irrationality of the anti-reform position.
Staff at KIPP Academy described how unions had filed a grievance against the school without the solicitation or consent of the teachers, who were forced to issue a statement which pointed out that in their view this union's action could "compromise the strong environment of communication and collaboration that is integral to the success of our schools".
A recent film, The Lottery, documented the difficulties faced by another successful charter school, Harlem Success Academy. The school, which has won widespread praise for its incredible performance in an area of long-term education failure, was blocked from moving into new premises by a union-backed lawsuit. At public hearings the school's founder was subjected to remarkable levels of abuse from union-organised campaign groups and from elected politicians allied to them. She admits on film that she has even faced death threats, all because she wanted to expand a school which has been improving the life chances of local children.
KIPP schools have been forced to respond to this opposition. KIPP Academy's staff filed for the union to be decertified as their negotiating representative and staff at KIPP AMP Academy Brooklyn have also voted to cut union ties. Reform-minded politicians are beginning to heed the advice of the former New York schools chancellor, Joel Klein, and take on the education establishment. Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey condemned their "political thuggery". Washington DC's former schools chancellor, Michelle Rhee, last year successfully overhauled tenure laws, introduced merit pay and fired incompetent teachers. This robust response is, in Klein's view, the only response since "collaboration is the elixir of the status quo crowd".
Last month, the first of 24 free schools opened in England. Like charters, they are state-funded but independent of local authority control and regulations, and are beginning to evoke the same kind of opposition from the education establishment.
The government has already enabled existing schools or their replacements to convert to academies, giving them the same freedoms as free schools. So many have taken advantage of this that their opponents have had no time to mobilise. With more than 1,000 academies now established (including nearly 40 per cent of secondary schools), the Education Secretary Michael Gove's goal of making academy status "the norm" will soon be a reality.
The opponents of school reform, however, have turned their attention to what they correctly see is now the more important battleground, free schools. Academies tend to use their independence to make smaller or more gradual innovations (with exceptions like the Ark or Harris chains). As free schools become more numerous (50-100 may open next year and potentially more than 100 per year from 2013), their capacity for radical innovation poses a huge threat to the status quo.
This opposition is led by the two main unions (the NUT and the NAS/UWT), the Anti Academies Alliance, and the recently formed Local Schools Network. The latter, headed by Fiona Millar, has condemned the free school movement and encouraged legal challenges against schools converting to academy status. Despite couching their arguments in the same language as those who nobly champion the many successful maintained comprehensives in England, they are in fact defending schools which have failed poor children for decades. Most worryingly, however, Nick Clegg has recently expressed scepticism regarding greater independence for free schools. This indicates that the Left of the Liberal Democrats (whom Clegg is under pressure to placate) might be willing to join the Left of the Labour Party in opposing education reform.
That someone as intelligent and reform-minded as Nick Clegg should want to place further restrictions on free schools demonstrates the fragility of the progress made in English education over the last decade. Academy schools have achieved remarkable results (this year one of the first, Mossbourne Academy, which serves a downtrodden area of Hackney, sent nine pupils to Oxbridge). Free schools can build on this progress and enact a change more substantial, radical and lasting. It is this that poses such a threat to the vested interests which oppose them.
As the Bronx nativity play drew to a close, one parent recounted, with a broad smile, how her older child has just started at an elite Ivy League college after attending KIPP Academy. She simply could not understand why anyone would oppose the school which had changed her child's life. But many do, vehemently, and the same opposition is already mobilising to undermine free schools in England. Whether it is between unions and free school providers, or around the Cabinet table between ministers, the battle for the soul of English education has begun.

Different Kind of War Story
Edward (Ned) Arnett was born in Philadelphia in 1922 and grew up in the Quaker pacifist environment there. He was a CO in the war with many extraordinary experiences - he was a forest smoke jumper parachuting into remote areas to put out small fires before they became big ones. He also accompanied 1,200 horses to Poland to help reestablish Poland's farms.

Swedish brown bear cubs' birth to be live-streamed to the world
- 1
The brown bear (Ursus arctos) can be found across northern Eurasia and North America. It weighs from between 300 to 780 kilograms (660 to 1,700 lb) and its largest subspecies, the Kodiak Bear, rivals the polar bear as the largest member of the bear family. Although the brown bear's global spread has shrunk, it is listed as a least concern species by the IUCN, with a population of around 200,000 worldwide.
But you certainly don't see one everyday. Given that they spend many days hibernating underground in the winter season, you'll be pleased to know that Volkswagen Sweden is sponsoring a live-stream of the birth of a litter of bear cubs.
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
Using live video service Bambuser, it's expected that hundreds of thousands of people will tune in to watch Freja the brown bear in the final few weeks before she gives birth.
Animal lovers will also be able to track every minute of the first few months of the young family's lives via the live broadcast, filmed in a bear reservation in the Swedish town of Orsa. Viewers are also being given the chance to enter a competition to name the cubs and guess the date and time the family will leave their underground den.
"It's going to get really exciting over the next few weeks when Freja gives birth to her litter of pups," says Hans Eriksson, Executive Chairman of Bambuser. "They'll start life tiny, naked, blind and helpless – they'll be totally dependent on their mother. The campaign, initiated by Volkswagen Sweden and creative agency DDB, is a great example of how to utilize live video to boost engagement by reaching out with something totally unique. We're seeing increasing numbers of brands and agencies taking this approach."
If you didn't know, brown bears fatten up on berries during the autumn season in preparation for hibernation. Once they've built up sufficient fat reserves to see them through the long Swedish winter, bears then collect moss and twigs to make their hibernation den, often in a disused anthill or at the foot of a large fir tree. Bears usually hibernate from early November to late March/early April.
Of course, this isn't the first time the birth of bear cubs has been broadcast to the online masses. A black bear named Lily gave birth two years in a row in front of a live online audience in northern USA. The North American Bear Center and Whitewolf Entertainment teamed up to carry out some animal research, turning to Verizon Wireless to use its 3G broadband network which covers northern Minnesota.

Four people were hurt yesterday during a garage fire in Toledo's old south end, authorities said.
Two were treated at the scene and the others were taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center, the former Medical College of Ohio Hospital, with nonlife-threatening injuries, the Toledo fire department said. Their names and conditions were not released.
The blaze at the unattached garage at 233 Wasaon St. occurred at 2:20 a.m. Fire crews extinguished the blaze within a few minutes, firefighters said. The Lucas County Auditor's Web site lists the property owner as Mark Switzer.

Ward Farnsworth, a professor at the Boston University School of Law, recently sent me a copy of his new book Farnsworth's Classical English Rhetoric thinking that I would enjoy it, and such is indeed the case. I enjoy the cover (Patrick Henry by Rothermel), the type (Sabon Next by Porchez), and even the smell (woody, with a soupçon of sawdust)… but I won't waste your time and mine by talking about such trivialities. To pay mind to the trivial is to trivialize the mind. I think—no, I know—that this book will repay the attention of any lover of well-used language…
OK, enough junior-league preteritio and chiasmus. There are a lot of books about rhetoric out there (and, as it happens, I'm copyediting yet another one even as we speak); the great thing about this one is that it does a minimum of explication and a maximum of exemplification. Each chapter contains dozens of well-chosen examples of a particular trope, from epizeuxis to prolepsis, with just enough helpful commentary by Farnsworth to enhance enjoyment and understanding. What's more, the sources of the quoted passages are (in defiance of penny-pinching publishing practices) identified in an otherwise empty margin that takes up the outer third of each page, providing an irresistible hook for browsing and allowing one to easily make the acquaintance of writers one might not be familiar with, like Henry Grattan. I admire the book, I appreciate it, I recommend it.
There's a typo in the types of type: Ought to be "quizdeltagerne" not "quiozdeltagerne".
Good catch! (Google Translate tells me it's Danish for "quiz participants.")
In your your second paragraph you used a word
preteritio, should it not have been
praeteritio ?
Ed Lopez -
It's an acceptable post-classical orthographic variant.
It's a bit sad to me that "use a figure of rhetoric — any one at all" can be a gimmick. That asyndetic congeries at the end of your post? It was nice, and I found it very effective: it makes me want to read the book. People should do that sort of thing more often.
Writing advice tends to overemphasize conciseness and simplicity, while passing over other ways that writing (and speech) can be made effective. Maybe this happens because prolixity and complexity give a writer more rope to hang himself with, so brevity is seen as "safer"? -
Yes, I agree, and obviously so does Farnsworth. As fond as I am of language in its shirtsleeves, we could do with a wider available range of rhetorical choices.
Writing advice tends to overemphasize conciseness and simplicity, while passing over other ways that writing (and speech) can be made effective.
An excellent corrective, recommended to me by Slawkenbergius, I'm pretty sure. The author, Richard Lanham, wrote another germane text — A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms — though I have to say the book Hat's plugging sounds better. This Teaching Company Course also bucks the pedagogical trend we all find objectionable. -
Writing advice tends to overemphasize conciseness and simplicity, while passing over other ways that writing (and speech) can be made effective.
Hear, hear! My own style is by choice quite nicely concise and simple, but many of my favorite authors (for example Melville) had diametrically different stylistic goals, and at some point I realized that I've trained myself not to be able to write like that. -
at some point I realized that I've trained myself not to be able to write like that
Exactly! Once you learn the ways to contract your prose — all those prescriptive pieties — it's terribly hard to ignore them while you write. I find that the type of book Hat is recommending in this post does help, however, as it gives approved labels (and justifications) for what would otherwise be mere indulgent wordiness. Once I write a chiasm — and decide that a chiasm is apt for the occasion — my anxious mind can relax, knowing that the trope would be lost with more trimming. -
Isn't this the culmination of the campaign for 'Plain English'? And if my intuition serves me correctly, 'Plain English' isn't a recent thing; it has a fairly solid history behind it.
Yes, and it was a necessary corrective to mindless elaboration, but as usual with humanity, it went too far in the other direction. 'Tis the gift to be simple, but 'tis the gift to be elaborate, too.
And to go on, by losing that my capacity for that way of writing I also lost the capacity for that way of being and thinking, though not my capacity for perceiving and appreciating it in others.

Returning from India with no money in my pocket, I paid just about that to buy my 1989 Ford Escort from it's original owner (She was almost in tears to let this family member leave).
A few months spent in LA, just to realize I would use these wheels to get away.
After a few more months on the road with My India program and volunteering in meditation centers around California, I put my storage content on sale and the essentials left I had effectively packed into my four wheeled friend.
That started a one year period of traveling, sharing presentations, cooking workshops and being hosted around California and Arizona.
On the days traveling from one place to another, I was taking my time to stop for photography or a coffee and my lunch-box content.
The car's roof was often my bed, the hood my dining table and the rear - my folding table. The inside my pantry, lounge and office.
All together, my hatchbacked friend proved to be a reliable and handy road-mate.

Amazing...i had an '84 in light blue. The head warped and the head gasket blew, ruining the car. It was a known defect, they made the block/head too thin. Amazing yours lasted..
Etan Doronne said (7 Oct 2010):
Brian, this car is the best I had (and I had newer and more luxurious) reliable and avg. 45mpg fully loaded. Obviously now that we have gone through all the above, it is a real companion. Long ago I had a light blue Ford Taurus 1990 that had the engine head problem you describe. In the last few months I had it, it drank so much water (due to the blown head gasket), that I refiled the radiator every morning with a gallon full bottle I filled up by sinking it into the parking lot nearby swimming pool.

MIAMI — Bill Russell doesn't need to see the San Antonio Spurs win their fifth championship to know why it all has worked so well, how this dynasty was forged.
As was the case during his unforgettable era with the Boston Celtics, Russell says it always is about the man in the middle. Tim Duncan, the special kid from the Virgin Islands whose best teammate was his coach and who could take his legacy to a whole new level if the Spurs down the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Thursday (9 p.m. ET, ABC), is still their everything after all these years.
RUSSELL: He has Game 7 advice for Heat, Spurs
LEBRON: If he sleeps, he'll dream about Game 7
SPURS: Pressure's on since "there's no Game 8"
Fourteen years after his first ring came with the likes of David Robinson on his side and Patrick Ewing on the other, Duncan could use another 30-point, 17-rebound outing like he had in Game 6 to help seal this deal. But Russell, who told Duncan five years ago that the Spurs star was the player who most reminded him of himself, will see him as a once-in-a-generation player even if he doesn't.
"Playing with Tim Duncan creates great opportunities," said Russell ,who sat down with USA TODAY Sports after an appearance on NBA TV before Game 6. "Certain things happen, and it frees certain players.
"He has the same kinds of skills (as me). He creates problems for the other team on both offense and defense. One of his attributes that most people don't recognize is his passing. And I don't think there's anybody in the league who can guard him one on one. ... A guy like Tim Duncan gives a coach a wide range of things you can do. Tim can play with almost anybody, and there are a lot of guys who can't do that."
BRENNAN: Where will this Game 7 rank?
LEITCH: No one will trust Heat fans again
STRAUSS: Spurs still scary for a Game 7
All these years later, the 11-time champion and Boston Celtics legend only hangs two team pictures in his home office: the '57 Celtics, his first team, and the '69 Celtics, his last. It's a testament to the colossal role he played in their unmatched success, as he is the only Celtics player who was a member of both teams.
Duncan, the 36-year old who sparked this Spurs renaissance by reviving his game this season, has had approximately 120 teammates in all. More importantly, he had a coach in Gregg Popovich who has always found a way to make the pieces around him work, well beyond the likes of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
"(Late Celtics coach Red) Auerbach had a system where there's a place for every kind of player," Russell said. "Never once in the years he coached that I was there did I ever hear him say to a player, 'You have to change this.' He said my job as a coach is to figure out what you do, and find a place in the system."
It's not all that different than what Popovich has been able to do with the Spurs, making the most of role players like Steve Kerr, Brent Barry, Bruce Bowen in the past and Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Matt Bonner in the present. Asked if he saw similarities between the Celtics' Red Auerbach and Popovich, Russell agreed.
"Yeah," he said. "Even when they had a bad year, it was a good year. I think he does a remarkable job."

"My Fair Lady" Tickets - Saturday Evening - C-Reserve
My Fair Lady
Summary of The Day: Celebrating the beloved original, Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady comes to the Sydney Opera House in August 2016, under the direction of Julie Andrews.
The Cinderella story about the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and the appealingly arrogant phoneticist, Professor Higgins, is an endearing tale that charms audiences with its warmth and vivid characters.
The clash of cultures sparks some of the theatre's most jubilant songs and witty dialogue. The triumphant score features unforgettable numbers including Wouldn't It Be Loverly?, On The Street Where You Live, I Could Have Dance All Night and Get Me to the Church on Time.
In 1956, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's masterful retelling of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion took the world by storm. Playing the irresistible Eliza Doolittle was a young Julie Andrews, in only her second role on Broadway, a role that would catapult her into international stardom.
In a world first, Julie Andrews will direct a glorious production of My Fair Lady, teaming up with the Tony Award-winning Christopher Gattelli and associates of the musical's original designers Cecil Beaton and Oliver Smith.
A stellar cast of Australian theatre royalty and emerging talent will be showcased in this truly momentous production. This is a theatre event not to be missed.

Nobody likes getting wet in the rain, but there is no reason for rain to stop you getting outside. Why not upgrade your child carrier with the Poco Raincover? Using the Poco sunshade as its structure, the raincover extends below the child's feet preventing wind and rain from cutting your day short. To ensure that your little passenger still enjoys the view, Osprey have included windows on either side. To ensure not only the best weather protection but also safety weve made the raincover out of high visibility ripstop nylon, and included a reflective Osprey logo for when the walk back is a little later than planned.
