The goal of physical education is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. Physical education provides regular moderate to vigorous exercise for students through a variety of skill development, sports, games and lifetime physical activities. Graduates of an exemplary, sequential physical education program will be able to evaluate their own physical fitness, set goals, and use their physical activity knowledge and skills to maintain a health-enhancing, physically active lifestyle.
The Agency may provide professional development, technical assistance and resources to schools for the development and implementation of standards-based curricula, instruction and assessment.
Physical Education Assessment
The Vermont ESSA State Plan, developed by the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) with significant stakeholder feedback, received official approval from the US Department of Education in September. As Vermont works to implement an accountability system that better reflects the state's education priorities as stated in Education Quality Standards, changes will need to be made at the state and local level. One such change is the implementation of Physical Education assessments. The AOE selected FitnessGram to serve as its statewide physical education assessment for state and federal accountability purposes. FitnessGram is a non-competitive fitness assessment and is currently the most widely used fitness assessment tool nationally. FitnessGram will be field tested statewide in the 2017-2018 school year. And it will be formally incorporated into the state's accountability system beginning in 2018-2019.
At this time, the 2018 PE Assessment testing window has opened. Data collections can be submitted May 1 – 31, 2018. Please review the following documents to understand the policies and guidelines for assessing students.
- Memo: Assessment for Physical Education
- FAQ: Vermont's New Statewide Physical Education Assessment
Vermont Physical Education Assessment Implementation Checklist
Vermont Physical Education Assessment Educator Certification Process
The Vermont Physical Education Assessment Supervisory Union or District certification process requires physical educators to complete a four-part training series as well as FitnessGram 101, which is embedded as a resource in the FitnessGram software.
This following webinars are results of the Vermont Physical Education Assessment Training Series:
- Physical Education and Assessment Training Webinar-Part I
- Part II: PE Assessment Protocol Training
- Part III: PE Assessment Companion Training (Brockport Fitness Test)
- Part IV: FitnessGram Software Training
This spreadsheet is used to record Vermont Physical Education Assessment performance for students who are using the Brockport assessment or who are unable to participate.
Physical Education Standards
On May 19, 2015, the State Board of Education adopted the 2014 SHAPE America National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes for Physical Education to replace the 2004 Vermont Grade Expectations for Physical Education (PE). These new standards for PE empower Vermont educators to use the most current, best-practices in design of proficiency-based instruction and assessment for learning. Furthermore, this move enables use of directly-aligned, nationally-developed tools for assessment and curriculum evaluation with the goal of developing student physical literacy.

Greta: Obama Finds Time to Meet With YouTube Celeb, But Not With Netanyahu?
Greta Van Susteren tonight said that President Barack Obama has some explaining to do to America, Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Obama has said that he won't have time to meet with Netanyahu when he addresses Congress on Iran.
"Now President Obama can find time to meet with a YouTube personality who eats cereal out of a bathtub, but not the prime minister of our ally Israel?" Van Susteren asked.
The "On The Record" host then slammed Obama for "another insult" when a Muslim leader who accused Israel of being a suspect in the 9/11 attacks was invited to the White House's anti-terror summit.
"So let me get this straight: the White House invites a Muslim leader who accused Israel of 9/11, but President Obama can't find five minutes to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu who is terrified Iran is getting nuclear weapons? That is so messed up," Van Susteren said.
Watch more above.

Valuable Emerald Birthstone for Your Loved One
Emerald Birthstone is a kind of valuable gemstone with green color. Pieces of jewelry such as rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, and earrings with Emerald gemstones believed to get energies from Venus Planet have been commonly used as gifts since thousand years ago. The word emerald is from the Greek word Smaragdos that means a green stone.
Emerald gemstone symbolizes friendship, loyalty, faithfulness, memory, belief, and clairvoyance. Besides that, people wearing pieces of jewelry with emerald believe that their health problems with eyes, head, spine, and fertility will be able to deal with them. It is also great to help enhance great mentality. So, it's no wonder if people want to collect pieces of jewelry with emerald gemstone.
The natural green color of Emerald Birthstone come various in shades of green. It is the selective absorption of light called body color that creates the green color in emerald gemstone. As we know that color in gemstones is also decided by three things, first, the hue—this is when we see its first impression of it. The second is by its saturation—this is when we see the intensity of the gemstone's color measured from dull and strong to vivid. The last one is by the tone—this is when we see the lightness and darkness of the color that range from the light, medium, and dark. Emerald gemstone color is decided by these three as well.
People who were born in May with Taurus Zodiac Sign have this Emerald Birthstone. So, it is great to be given as a gift for the loved ones who were born from April 21 to May 20 with Taurus Zodiac Sign.
Taurus Zodiac Sign is the second sign of the zodiac that is influenced by the Venus Planet with the bull as the sign. It is also great to give a gift of emerald jewelry for the 20th, 35th, and 55th of our wedding anniversary. As the alternative, we can give jewelry with other birthstones such as Sapphires, Agate, Garnet, and Diamonds.
Things to make Emerald Birthstone considered precious:
- Its weight
- Its color, clarity and shape
- It belongs to Beryl family
- Its hexagonal crystal structure containing chromium to produce color
- Its inclusions that creates garden of emerald
The knowledge about the shape, weight, color, and inclusion of Emerald Birthstone is needed when we want to buy Emerald jewelry for the loved ones.

I got special permission to pick up my race bag/number/shirt tomorrow morning so I don't have to sleep in my car overnight. Sedona is only about two hours away, but it is far enough that I would not drive back and forth. Should have a great run tomorrow; sure is beautiful there and it is fun to run a race for the first time. Looking for 3:26 or maybe a little slower if it raining (in the forecast 30%).
At work I actually wrote an end of tour award and worked on my Volunteer Packet in hopes of someday getting another deployment. If I ever hope to even dream of below the zone anything I need a little more to make me stand out, and this current job is not one that affords any standout actions. I'm lucky I've got my running to help get my name out there, without that I'd be a real nobody. Not sure why I try or care, because I'll probably move up even with the most minimally qualified Soldiers, but I still have a shred of self pride and want to try.

Everything is bigger and bolder in this producer's stable of 2015 Rieslings, and this densely structured beerenauslese is no exception. Its luscious stone fruit flavors and spicy, exotic perfume are undeniably attractive. But it's a softer, plusher style of dessert Riesling atypical of Germany, accentuated by a warm kiss of alcohol on the finish. Drink now through 2022.

Because the client will call you to get that stuff off their floor, the sofa, and the cat.
Although kids don't seem to mind it.
There are ways to incorporate glitter into your finishing that won't leave you looking like a MAC ad and the client's home topped off like a cupcake. Oh yum..cupcakes with sprinkles...
No, BE MINE!
OK...back to our story. One of the products that I like to use with glitter is Sandstone. This might not seem like a good choice since Sandstone is a thick plaster but when it is whipped with some water and glaze medium, Sandstone is a great base for several additives. The natural light color doesn't compete or obscure the glitter. And the added water plus glaze makes the sandstone creamy to trowel.
To a gallon of Sandstone, I add 1 cup Aquacreme and 1 quart of Water. Then mix with a drill whip. You can always add more water to form a nice creamy paste. My sample is applied over a tan Setcoat mix (3 parts Neutral White and 1 part Camel). Setcoat will stick to paint but test on a sample board coated with the paint. When in doubt, you can put Clear Setcoat (Aquaseal) over a previously painted finish.
After flat troweling an area, I use a Japan Blade to butter my blade and pop in areas of more Sandstone. This creates more texture in one step-saves going around the room again.
Then gently use your blade, almost flat to the surface to lightly compress the peaks. The Sandstone should dry in 1-2 hours. The Aquacreme will slow this down some.
I took some of my whipped Sandstone and mixed it with our Deep Blue Glitter. You want to mix in enough so you clearly see the glitter. One 5.5oz container will be enough for a half-gallon of Sandstone.
I selected a Diamond Harlequin pattern from Cutting Edge Stencils for this sample-I like the classic (almost nautical) look of the blue with the natural plaster. Apply the mix over the stencil using a Japan Blade.
You can control how much of the glitter shows be simply sanding over the pattern with a sanding block. With a light sand you will reveal more plaster without creating much dust or spreading the glitter.
This is the finish with the Sandstone left natural. One thing about Glitter-it is hard to capture the shimmer in a picture!
I mixed some of the Aquacreme I used to thin the Sandstone with some Dark Brown Faux Creme Color. Brush on and wipe with a damp cloth. I like to spritz with water to push the glaze into the texture and ten use a dry cloth to remove the glaze from the top.
Want over-all bling? Dump the glitter into you Sandstone mix and trowel this as your base. For the finish below I used a fine silver glitter for the base Sandstone. Sanded it and then lightly glazed with the Dark Brown glaze. For the pattern (also Cutting Edge), I mixed in the real Silver Glass Glitter and troweled it over the pattern. When it was dry, I sanded the pattern and then glazed the whole surface again. Spritz with water as you glaze to keep the pattern from getting dark and hiding/dulling the glitter.
Still not blingy enough? Add mica flakes to your Sandstone with glitter. These come in several colors to coordinate with a finish-I am partial to the Gold and Black Mica Flakes. Trowel this as your base and then use a clear plaster like Aquawax or Palette Deco mixed with more glitter for your pattern.
This pattern is from Royal Design Studios. I mixed Aquawax with Bronze Glitter and Black micro beads from Michael's. The beads are denser then the glitter so when you trowel them they collect at the edges creating a cool shadow effect!
Next time, I will show you how to add glitter to some of my other favorite plasters. Till then...

Nice work ethics, and it is clearly an organization that strives to make sure satisfaction. While hardwood improves with age, is lengthy lasting, and increases a home's value more than laminate flooring, it does often scratch in excessive traffic areas and from pet nails, provides limited options in beneath grade stock and isn't recommended for bogs and other high-humidity areas equivalent to basements.
A book is loved by a buyer by its title in entrance; a celeb present gets its popularity by the show of entrance show and so forth. The hub justifying the artwork of beautifying the entrance door has induced an art of ability to beautify the each activity of life like the fantastic thing about entrance door.
The excellent news is it doesn't matter what time of year you decide to install new home windows, Home Good Dwelling Enhancements can get the job finished. In the event you use your house purely as your private residence, you can't deduct the cost of dwelling enhancements.
Your loan steadiness might end up rising quicker than the money value of the coverage should you don't pay it again. As a HERO accredited contractor, Traditional House Enhancements is able to offer wonderful program benefits to help you finance your next house transforming undertaking. I've seen zestimates skyrocket just as soon as a house goes up for sale, the RE agent doesn't like the true zestimate, so that they up the value substantially which is about what the new asking value is. Choose correctly and compliment your house structure, help your property's power conservation and bump up your curb appeal and resale value.
Make a particular folder to save all your receipts and records for any enhancements you make to your property. If you happen to're unsure about what planning permissions you need, and what building laws apply, test the federal government's planning portal 5. It breaks down improvements by each area and have of your home. Examine together with your tax advisor and see if you qualify and if your potential buy qualifies. Your tax foundation is the amount you'll subtract from the gross sales worth to determine the amount of your revenue. While common per-owner spending in different metropolitan areas on the East Coast has been relatively high in recent times, total spending in several of those areas is expected to extend slowly in the subsequent 12 months.

Westcountry Lib Dems are particualrly unhappy about the Budget hike in VAT to 20 per cent which they campaigned so angrily against just weeks ago.
MPs in the region admit they are considering abstaining or voting against the rise to 20 per cent which they warn will "clobber" the poorest, as I reported in the WMN today.
St Ives Lib Dem MP Andrew George said he was "disappointed" with the VAT rise, due to come into effect in January.
"I can see how seductive it is because it does make a lot of money for the Treasury but I do think it is a regressive tax. It does, without question, hit the poorest more than it hits the wealthiest.Alex Folkes, a Lib Dem on Cornwall Council, said the spectacle of the Lib Dems "going back on their word" on VAT was a "crying shame"
"On that basis it didn't chime with the stated purpose that those who got us into the doo-doos should pay the cost of getting us out.
"Anything that is going to clobber those that didn't put us into this mess is the wrong way to go about it."
"Having taken a bit of time to digest the budget I can't get past the VAT hike and the message it sends out," he wrote on his blog.Karen Gillard, the defeated Lib Dem candidate in South East Cornwall, said:
"Not only is VAT a hugely regressive form of taxation which is likely to hit the poorest hardest, but there is also the message it sends about our Government - both halves of it - that what they said before the election and what they are doing now don't match up.
"The Lib Dems campaigned on the basis of the Conservatives' 'VAT Bombshell' and I can't help thinking that today's decision is hugely regrettable."
"I understand why we had to get rid of Gordon Brown, but that does not mean we have to let the Conservative mantra and ideology get its way. I am very sad to see senior Lib Dems trying to justify penalising the poorest in society."Lib Dem Voice, a leading grassroots website, has been inundated with party members and supporters angered by the Budget, branding the VAT rise "a disgusting betrayal of values".
One web user, toryboysnevergrowup, said:
"How different do you think the Budget would really have been if the Lib Dems had sold their souls?"Another, Ian Ridley, said the "whacking great" VAT rise meant he was now "seriously considering" quitting the party. Terry Gilbert added that the move was "both inflationary and ethically disgraceful".
Jonathan Underwood, who stood unsuccessfully for the Lib Dems in the Tiverton and Honiton seat, said it was clear before the election that VAT needed to rise.
"I wish all parties had been a bit more straightforward about the scale of the financial challenge facing the country.
"It is not exactly the Budget I would have wanted, but the Conservatives have got five times the number of seats."
He added, though, that without the Lib Dems in government, a Tory Budget "would have been a lot worse".

... the the ... to forty knots Thursday April fifth look to the New Saab I'm Sudeep Reddy here with MarketWatch's David Weidner ... I we got a lot going on this morning I acted the Taiex was a story from the Journal with it that the U S government on the verge of a settlement with e book publishers we take you to Augusta Georgia for the start of the Masters golf tournament ... and I talk about hybrids hybrid of ... sales should be going up but with gas prices ... in your four dollars I they may not be up but first it looks like it's getting a becoming ugly days in the ... markets already with what's happening in Europe ... I is this just the start of another round ... you know I I gotta say we thought that Greece has been in the template ... and so everybody knew what was coming to these other big kick out of Eurozone countries run into trouble ... obviously some investors to pay for not buying it or they don't like it ... so ... very interesting to see you get to Charles Forelle ... yellow let's go to Charles Forelle in one day the man with answers are all about Europe but chose European leaders were telling us last week ... that the worst of the crisis was over ... that they think anyone now why did he think anyone would believe them ... good morning stated they ... think they thought they believe themselves of profit and said it over and over again a big lead each other as they were hearing it but ... adding the markets are not buying that message ... it's quite clear at this point that Spain is the next country ... I'm in focus for the markets is is is very simple question it very simple issue you have a lot of countries Spain and Italy chief among them ... that the issue of enormous amounts of debt this year to fund their deficits ... and to roll over existing debt stocks ... and the buyers are just out there that was the message yesterday Spanish auction ... on demand was very weak and that's an enormous problem Spain ... toll has there been any word from ... the Spanish government the tying government ... the EU ... anyone who's been involved in trying to contain that that the crisis in Europe with the sovereign debt ... there's been no assertive ... public reaction to the markets like we saw yesterday and worsening this morning ... I mean any service and major capacity from the ... European leaders may be tried to shy away from that from ... reacting to the market action ... I'm the even in part to try to ... make people understand or think that they're working on a longer term solutions I'm and so there hasn't been as centrist was that the Spanish government has ... repeatedly and and in recent days reiterated that it has the difficult and challenging path ... aam says to close its budget gap ... I assume that they are certainly well aware that difficult it's true we got word from the ECB yesterday ... we're trying to do is press conference suggested that little world was coming ... we see also see the separation between Spain and the German Borrowing Costs what's driving this divergence is is just likely to get worse ... well what's driving the divergence is a team ride shifted out and ... get ... out of riskier assets like Spanish Italian bonds and into safer assets like German bonds this is the pattern we saw ... repeat itself over and over again last year you have these risk on risk off moments where ... the markets it's a you know what I'm much more comfortable ... and we did with the safety and security of German bonds and are ... we are was these other countries ... what's ... particularly noteworthy that the cases Spain and Italy is the cheap funding from the ECB had ... encourage Spanish Italian banks to buy the debt of their own governments earlier this year ... I'm ... that appears in Uganda the TV yet but the market action suggests that ... that is falling off ... I'm so uneven that domestic banks that these countries are nice to combine their debt ... I it's a tougher sell ... for all ... stay with this rose U S markets are of course very concerned about this for for you Johns's and Donlan's looks like ... a repeat of twenty ten in twenty eleven with European ... problems between us is this that again we will do it with the key thing this morning we've seen is obvious the anxieties ramping up with respect to euro years into the US pre substantial drop in the euro and although I you know since the the the Greek debt crisis initially where did seem pretty ... close correlation ... aam on a daily basis at least two with U S stock markets and move into the euro and and that that that's not change this morning the so the futures of ... a four one as euro has declined that no ... one seems to watching the ups of ... Spanish ... ten year yields ... climbed ... until the anxieties ramp appears to be thinner trading today because people are leaving on Monday for the Easter holiday ... and so we will probably could have gone ... more downside in and shop your moves in the market ... he also coming gives investors a little bit of time ... to aid European officials a little time ... to step in with some some positive comments from some reassurance for a concert so we we mean that's the ... thing you know ... it may be just the psychological over the weekend people worried about it and then maybe we'll come out ... next weekend and things might ... stabilize but on ... the longer term John every yet as you pointed out ... that some of the exact repeat of last year ... we had a super strong first quarter and all the sudden ease the fears about Greece and Europe ... just completely and we we we sat through the whole summer yet I think that you keep on ... burning keys probably be on the phone speaking to his counterparts in Europe are ... you know ... maybe they can do something with swap lines or ... you know it defies some sort of of assurance to markets that is going to be ... war liquidity coming cuz that's really been the driver ... it's been a consistent ... situation there is one one question and to Charles to go on ... with him to sort of curious with one of the one who most recent development that we've got your with you it was ... with respect to build a fire wall and ... um no the depth of seven hundred billion euro situation there is that is the isthe committee Mecom not always as these yields Quantum and anxiety rises ... he hasn't been any comfort so I mean it did the firewall is barely larger than it was it's slightly larger than it was ... on a few months ago in and not substantially more at a sizeable that ... European officials indicated ... that the trip to the firewall is the purpose of the fire was to provide comfort to investors that ... if they go in and buy Italian Spanish bonds ... that there's going to be some giant pool of money there that they can provide liquidity at the very least and ... at the very most actually step in and buying from them if they wanna sell so ... if you buy Spanish that I did you wanna know the you can sell it to somebody in this pot of money is is to ... provide comfort even if you can ... you can do that ... the problem is that Italy is issuing gross issuance is four hundred something billion year as this year Spain's another ... as but a quarter that legal war on and easy to songs that are too large for use in the big firewall to to handle ... a significant ... stretch time so ... it is a small comfort but it's not really enough ... Charles ... Forelle in ... London John we got some economic data to Intel's plans for the ... traders can appeal this ... will be jobless claims from home you a little bit of ... news facts and make sure that we forget the fell sixty six ... but the along the same thing is that last week's were revised up four thousand so ... the net impact is is less than ... an actual crop and ... and so of their it there's still hope bring in a range and they they seem to ... stabilize there and when the things that ... that the people you will focus on here numbers yet ... firings had decreased but we need to really see the hiring in ... the will see what happens tomorrow with a ... March paid ones ... out there looking well you're constantly ... for about ... two hundred thousand keen ... and not new and that's ... pretty good considering the circumstances that that we've been in ... a key contributor to stay ahead of the holiday ... the key for our journey has led to the coming up ... hybrid car sales should be going out ... with gas prices near four dollars a gallon ... but are they up more on that after the break ... the question here is will e book prices drop if we do see this settlement from the DOJ ... I suggested that I mean a couple of years ago Apple introduced the eye and ... this standard price for an e book when up from about ten dollars and ninety nine Amazon ... to about thirteen hours today most of the books that ... I was looking at that yes they are lining are going for top ninety nine both on and on and on iBookstore ... Barnes Noble another ... story so there's a chance that this only comes through ... when it went from ten thirty my time back down to ten ... cases ... Peter were still holed up in the negotiations for him because I believe her story said that the ... end of the could be there could be a suit or something filed next week ... what what's what's ... what's the last sticking point getting people to the table and visit because ... not everyone from the same page some people are okay with the settlements of them are not what what's happening ... Energen Trachtenberg or in your ... opening a great job following the story when they ... learned is that three publishers are racing to a deal that the Justice Department is pursuing this ... case the present case ... and two others are not ready to make a deal that also Apple this is of the ... year so there may be a situation where some subtle ... and others are brought to court Friday just are ... Peter these publishers have been trying to argue that there is competition in this industry of course the government is saying how it's possible that there's the competition if prices have increased seconds into this argument how did they actually make the case here too ... to the government's ... the spread is a very interesting case when you have before ... me that the new system frankly the world Amazon was selling these books for nine ninety nine and I'm actually taking a loss ... on Tuesday publishers many thirteen dollars and selling it for ten hours ... and ... it was a poster for games that they were worried about saying ... an example in consumers' minds that's yours when you go cos it only costs ten dollars there were ... we're not saying the president's only realize this new pricing system where publishers ... set the price ... and a publisher's seems also that potentially threaten industry they ... say it is protecting a ... aspect of American culture if you will so ... so they ... don't they're well justified in using this new ... pricing model with the Justice Department so it's ... potentially aam and Arianna's yet what they saw Ashley was Companies Gate Theater in a row and talking about raising prices which is this the crux of ... antitrust law ... seven ... overs ... your ... book or you ... are re Irv you've probably got a terminal and I'm not exactly sure ... held it and ... fixing prices didn't they agree with the distributor stitches iBooks Apple and to ... other services ... what's in it basically they've got this that the pressure within what's the what's the issue with that I mean I did not quite ... Mishkin the logical ... leap there I think that ... they are talking about ... a tissue ... the issue here is ... again going back to the antitrust why you have competitors in this case publishers get the other in a row don't have the evidence of that yet ... we have some signs of it ... if your publishers get together in a room and talking about ... raising prices to get a were talking about introducing a new pricing model together these are competitors in the College of Business ... that's when you have an antitrust issue to mess with the facts are ... presented ... Peter and these are huge companies fighting Zeltiq units Apple and Amazon all fighting over this business is this just as this fight is getting a lot of clear in the coming months ... I well I think Apple faces precisely to ace it ... the old presences them is to reintroduce and Seattle are able to discount box needs all around awesome at taking market share ... perhaps on ... the edge and ten dollars ... for a new book ... the last to consider how to ... strategize here it can't ... be alone cultures together and negotiate with them individually probably under the ... proposed settlement and as Apple also has a lot ... negotiators as they were ready and ... can gain was somewhat higher priced Amazon probably not ... there are a number of ... choices for these behemoths to make ... the story ... Peter Landers The joining us from Washington thank you for being with this you can catch more of that journal exclusive on WS J dot com ... and in today's paper ... now coming up on hybrid car should be ... selling them like crazy right now with gas prices near four dollars gallon but to ... they ... are really doing that ... adjoining is that that that this AnnaMaria entry this ... AnnaMaria ... I've ... why are gas prices forcing people to buy more hyper cards on its basically that the prices that hybrid cars are still significantly more expensive in most cases than they are similar counterparts and ... typically see defense about one thousand to four thousand dollars ... I'm in the sticker price but in some cases that difference can be as high as thirty thousand dollars ... especially when you look at the one tree car market new comparing example BMW ... um hi brands add to their somewhat to be in Dublin on high grades ... keeping the Lexus category for the most part so ... consumers are saying well why am I going to spend and he now an exodus several thousand dollars on the card ... on what I'm supposed to be seen being you know I'm gas if not for the company to fame ... with that with their finding is that ... it takes about ... four to twelve years to break even when you buy a hybrid car just to pay down that thing am ... and that is the equation that consumers are making when they're sitting there but ... I think that there's a lot of pent-up demand to know ... we we have the proper use of herbs to devote to our families ... a lot of people considering a hybrid for second car ... and a lot of unpacking or ... simply because they're looking at the economics of ... the equation and you just mentioned ... and the reality is is that the deal I couldn't get on with a gasoline car that in in ... in the short run they need those dollars in their pocket they can't wait ... for the savings down the road and for many people will be will consumers don't hold onto their cars for too long so when you're talking about you know attend twelve year payoff period ... missing women that you know I'm I'm even planning thank you cant that while many people still Easter cars don't overpay for years ... I'm so that some of the long payback time ... know that ... it did these hybrid car prices that they should be dropping with more production we saw a huge surge in production years ago ... will gas prices going to maybe five or six dollars a gallon ... make a much bigger difference in this ... so it's interesting um that the prices for hybrids haven't really been dropping what's expected to happen though it is believed more long-term debt and about twenty sixteen ... on ... the car manufacturers will have to meet new federal regulations as far as the fuel economy of cars ... it's expected that the house to produce cars that are even more ... fuel efficient in the right now what analysts are saying is that what will probably happen is that what manufacturers will produce ... and don't hide things the existing many factors to have high fiscal producing more in terms of the number of those cars ... and when you have more supply in the markets expected at the prices then it will shock however ... I think we've been hearing about this for many years that the ... high bid to become more affordable and it's just not happening at least not yet ... they knew it it just to take care of one alternative fuel vehicle the Chevy Volt which is purely electric ... I mean ... the Chevy was completely disappointed in sales of that and halted production for curator time ... simply because they were moving and we can think of or a couple more ballyhooed ... alternative fuel the vehicle to now ... I mean the numbers are so small for him from March until about twenty nine thousand ... hybrids that's all the fat two percent for market share ... that big a two percent was unchanged in the years ... of August the ninth out that sold about twenty five thousand of them for all to do business ... so it there's that doesn't seem to really be much competition there I picked out there but they really don't seem to make a dent in sales numbers there were automakers said disappointed by this to the expected date surges gas prices rose ... well to be honest I'm happy bite because they actually bought it that I put sales did really well I ... think that that that's the bit in two thousandseven ... but for the most part are many factors that had pizza parties are singing and then if gas prices the right thing on its record levels ... what's going on here ... and is that the consumer psychology at play also ... it seems that consumers are finding ways to ... get a cost of the towns we have been getting accustomed to Isis of that when when gas was two dollars a gallon a well well it would ever want to foreign investment the hybrids ... now unfit for your hearing what woke ... me because I bleed and seven dollars will start looking at hybrids ... ok we'll leave it there are Annamarie Andria this from SmartMoney I think you for joining and you can read gets more about it and read story on SmartMoney dot com ... coming up ... the Masters tournament gets underway this morning in Augusta Georgia were going to take you there after the break ... the pain at the pump is actually heating ... and gas station owners now I've joining us now Sarah Needleman ... from the Wall Street Journal Sara ... the gas prices are suppose to be ... a guest list was to be a loss leader for what it can be discerned owners that got people coming to the ... sitter stations go and maybe buy some chips and soda that's not happening or not ... while gas consumption is now selling fewer people coming out loud ... I actually coming to the convenience stores ... and that's really where the bulk of the money is made so on ... the other issues the credit card he's got the Cricut houses in peace ... I everytime I guess the killing or ... sell something in person buys a look at stake a K eight percent of sales ... plus a flat fee and the percent of the sale the sale price increases the percent they get back to the processor increases ... along with that ... really chips away at their margins ... so interesting we are seeing is that it's over it's not about the margins people are paying for gas because ... the independent owners have to be ... competitive with the larger competitors from the continent ... and does so it's it's really about that sort of secondary business that people come in for its loss leader ... I want your own ... it ... or the bigger and gas company scene of the chains were there they're not independently owned do they suffer as well to or because they can ... then maybe the it's not it's not a big I'm ... in ... eighteen eighty are definite however there so few of them on their own gas stations most of the big oil companies are in the ghastly tilt this is the right they sold off so acts on a sum of almost all of the company Aunt ... Cassie to share price and downs significantly ... impact from nine ninety nine percent of the gas stations you go to our own individual operators ... in Akron sorta like franchisees ... on it they have agreements with the brand's sales at the Getty only so get this year the stock with that ... aam but then that teacher only independent business it will comment on that very very small number gas station so ... yes the it'll all the different for them but ... the wholesale price of gasoline ... aam is not something necessary link the just take out a hack a half to do it ... of ... of politics and ... concerns about what made me not happy with the stock markets and things like that ... so I'm it's a very calm he didn't you know there are hundred thousand independent gas station owners has ten thousand ... independent voters these are small businesses ... are urged to stray to get by and everyone thinks they're benefiting from high gas prices they are necessarily they've also introduce all these new innovation it on all these things to discourage people from actually coming in the store what are they doing about this well I'm not that cemented the Scottish people coming in the store is actually in some ways makes the if in any ... case many people to where the outcomes ... Beit ALM that is just of what a convenience thing ... but they are hoping that people still come and eat the bread and butter is the convenience store ... so ... and you can get showed more of ... its Sears story and the beest outcome Sarah Needleman ... thank you for joining us ... I know we're going to go to but the Masters tournament getting underway in August to Georgia this morning a rainy ... Augusta GA GA John Paul Newport ...

As chartered flights spur island hopping
By Cris Evert Lato
Cebu Daily News
September 7, 2010
TOURISTS with only a short time to visit neighboring islands of Cebu need not worry about missing the chance to experience the other islands with the availability of chartered flights around central Philippines.
Aviatour Air (Aviatour) president and chief operating officer Jemar Bahinting said this arrangement provides more flexibility for tourists, with more pesos to spare, to enjoy the different islands which can be reached through Cebu.
Aviatour is a Cebu-based aviation company which offers aerial tours, chartered flights, pilot training and aircraft sales.
"We are highlighting (this) pick-up and drop-off service, which is very convenient for tourists with less time to visit the neighboring islands of Cebu such as Bohol," said Bahinting.
Kenneth Madrid, executive vice president for sales and marketing, said this is the company's way of further promoting the tourism potential of the Philippines.
"We want to promote day trips. Tourists don't have to check out of their hotels in Cebu. They can take our plane in the morning, arrive in the island of their destination and roam around. In the afternoon, our plane can bring them back to Cebu," said Madrid.
Many tourists staying in Cebu for three to four days, want to include Bohol in their stay.
Panglao Island in Bohol is a favorite destination with its white sand beaces and resorts such as Panglao Island Nature Resort and Spa and Bohol Beach Club.
Madrid said his planes can fly to most Philippine airports in the country.
At present, they are focused on central and southern routes such as Tagbilaran (Bohol), Bantayan Island (Cebu), Maasin (Southern Leyte), Camotes (Cebu), Siargao, Guiuan (Eastern Samar), Dipolog, Camiguin, Caticlan, Tacloban, Surigao and Masbate.
Rates range from P1,736 to P6,823 depending on the distance.
Madrid said the company has partnered with 15 tour operators, which are members of the Cebu Association of Tour Operators and Cebu Travel & Tour Association.
Aviatour has also established partnerships with hotels and resorts to promote flight tours and chartered flights.
"There is a big market for hartered flights. This makes the island destinations more accessible," he said.

It is now 2 months, almost to the day, since the builders arrived, and the inability to get into my own garden is really starting to bite. The toddler likes to stand on a chair in the back bedroom and gaze out over the forbidden territory, intoning 'Mine flowers! Mine Peter Rabbit!' (he's a well-loved garden ornament who has been with me since my early childhood gardening days) – and I know exactly how she feels.
My flower beds are going unweeded, my trees and shrubs are being allowed to sprawl everywhere, and pretty soon leaves will be falling with no-one to rake them up.
Without even having access to an outdoor broom or secateurs (stuck in the garage we can't get into), I can't tidy up the *front* garden – the other day I couldn't bear it any longer and used my kitchen scissors to cut back a few things that were overcrowding the path, and used the toddler's toy dustpan and brush to tidy up the fallen leaves.
That, at least, gave me a bit of satisfaction – but as for enjoying the best of early autumn, I've had to seek it out elsewhere, by proxy, instead of being hard at work in my own garden.
Our old favourite haunt, The Rookery, was looking lovely the other weekend, and the sight of a huge burst of Michaelmas daisies made me nostalgic for my old garden, where they were self-seeded liberally.
The colour of the daisies is always a joyful sight in autumn, and I was especially pleased that the toddler identified them as 'daisies', which I didn't really expect, they are different enough from the regular garden variety, after all.
I also admired these gorgeous shades of pink at the Horniman gardens – a giant version of Cosmos, from the look of it – I know I want something like this in the garden!
Then, on a slightly more dramatic scale, we went to Alice Holt Forest on Surrey/Hampshire borders to do the Gruffalo trail (which was coming to an end, but soon to be replaced by the Gruffalo's Child trail, fear not). At this stage of the autumn, leaves were not quite on the turn, but the scale of the trees was still impressive.
There were also these rather charming or sinister, depending on your view, owl sculptures…
Closer to home, on a gorgeous sunny day, I found evidence of late summer and approaching winter within close proximity – beautiful late-flowering clematis one moment, and fully-berried holly the next.
(Am I allowed to be a wee bit excited about Christmas already? I will have a fully functioning kitchen by then, after all…)
Finally, and most exciting, here is the new room as it looked today – with concrete floor fully laid, and plaster-boarding over all the ceiling pipes, it really begins to look like a proper room now.
The fact that the builders will soon be out, and decorators will soon be in, is very thrilling, but as the Mr said today 'it'll get worse before it gets better'. As soon as the kitchen installation starts, we'll probably lose our temporary sink in the living room, as the plumbing will have to be removed, so day-to-day living will get a lot harder, but on the plus side, the skip will go and we'll be able to get into the garage at last. And seeing that we will have a really decent sized downstairs loo, now that the walls for it have gone up, makes me very happy indeed – what can I say, it's the little things…
And the saga of the new dining table and sofa? We went today to the showroom of Made.com, on the 9th floor of a half-derelict office block in Notting Hill, (which is probably worth a blog post all of its own, it was such a surreal experience). Notting Hill is very much not my natural milieu, so even venturing there at all was well out of my comfort zone, let alone going into a shabby old tower block to hang out with hipsters sitting on chaise longues, and well, no final decisions so far, but at least going to look at real furniture, sitting on it and trying it out, gives you a feel for what you really want, and crossing off what you don't.
Bit by bit, we're getting there, though I still want to plan good storage for everywhere – toys and books in the living area, glass and crockery in the dining room, shoes and coats in the hall – and all the final details to iron out. Hopefully that will be the fun bit after the hard work is over!

Have you ever heard of a frost flower? Ever see one?
In Kentucky, frost flowers can be found among tall weeds and plants located near a field or prairie. Likely candidates for frost flowers include wingstem, ironweed, goldenrod, ragweed and other herbaceous plants boasting a thick, hollow stem.
"They can be found pretty easily throughout the state, especially during a heavy frost or freeze in spring and fall when air is cold and the plants have a high moisture content," says Jeff Sole, the Conservancy's Director of Conservation Programs.
Certain conditions need to be just right for the formation of frost flowers:
- freezing air temperature
- soil that is moist or wet but not frozen
- a plant's stem that has not been previously frozen
Understanding how a frost flower forms requires conjuring up some middle school science. Through a process called capillary action, water is drawn upward from the ground and into a plant's stem. As the water freezes, it expands and creates microscopic cracks. Then, when the water vapor exits those cracks, it freezes, emerging as paper thin "petals" of ice.
Because water is continually being drawn up into a plant's stem, the process of cracking and freezing can result in many petals. The size of the cracks determines the shape of the petals, resulting in unique flowers of all shapes and sizes!
Similar to snowflakes, no two frost flowers are alike.
According to the Conservancy's volunteer Preserve Steward, Ken Brooks, you can find frost flowers at many of the Conservancy's nature preserves. "You can find them along the fields located at the Brown/Crutcher/Wallace Nature Preserve," says Brooks. "Another good spot is along the main trail at Dupree—between the parking lot and where the trail enters the trees."
The best time to search for frost flowers is early in the morning, before the sun rises, on a day with freezing air temperatures and unfrozen ground. But remember, you can't pick the flowers as your warm hands will melt these masterpieces of nature. Maybe bring a camera instead.
Start the search! Late winter and early spring provide the perfect opportunity to visit one of our nature preserves in search of frost flowers. If you do, please share them with us on Facebook or in an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

8 Historical Sites to See in Prague
I recently announced my move to Germany and as a result, I am naturally planning on seeing every and any corner of Europe while I am there. I can't wait to bury my head in the proverbial sand of European history! Is it September yet?!
Prague, Czechia is high on my list for so many reasons. I am really interested in all of the Slavic countries. Prague is a beautiful city, and has a powerful & painful history from World War II. I am excited to see the beautiful architecture, hear the language, and get a feeling of what Prague is really like. I plan on going in the winter (I know, call me brave.)
Wait, you're moving to Germany?
So, even though I am months away from even setting foot in Germany, much less Czechia, I am far too excited to NOT start planning. Here are some sights I plan to see (and you should too) while I'm in Prague.
1. Prague Castle & Vyšehrad
The Prague Castle is an iconic piece of Prague and it's beautiful skyline.Construction started in the year 870 and it was the seat of power for the kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors, presidents of Czechoslovakia and even for the current president of Czechia. It is the largest ancient castle in the world.
It had humble beginnings; the first walled building was the Church of the Virgin Mary in 870. It was continuously added on and fortified through different reigns throughout the centuries.Because of its near continuous additions and reconstructions, it represents nearly every architectural style of the last millennium. Much of the castle is open to the public, including many of the churches, halls, and museums.
The castle is actually a large complex of several other historical and beautiful buildings.
2. Church of Our Lady before Týn
This gothic church is a dominant feature in Prague's old town and gives it the familiar skyline. It was built in the 14th century and has the oldest pipe organ inside. It is an active church to this day.
3. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert
Typically referred to only as Saint Vitus, this cathedral was built around 930 though a majority of it was added on or renovated later. The cathedral is located inside of the Prague Castle complex.
4. National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror
At the Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral
I am a huge history nerd with special interest in World War II and World War I and this museum and cathedral shows a part of history that for whatever reason is often not covered (at least in the US).
In World War II, Reinhard Heydrich was a high ranking Nazi official. He was the Senior Group Leader and Chief of Police as well as the Chief of the Reich Security Office, encompassing the Kripo, SD, and Gestapo. He was often called "the man with the iron heart" or "the hangman" but his tactics and brutality would later give him the nickname of the "Butcher of Prague". He is one of the darkest figures in the Nazi regime, helping organize Kristallnacht, organized the Einsatzgruppen, mobilized the SD who deported, abused, and murdered millions, and worked to destroy the Czech resistance once he was appointed to Prague.
Many people are familiar with the French Resistance, the Polish Resistance, Dutch Resistance, and other factions that worked against the Nazis but the Czechoslovakian Resistance is rarely covered or given the credit it deserves. The resistance helped maintain contact between the Czechoslovakian government in exile in London and those on the ground.The Czechoslovakian resistance is remembered on International Students Day in memorial to 1200 students that were deported to concentration camps and 9 murdered student leaders for protesting the Nazi regime.
The Czechoslovakian Resistance was nearing its end by the time the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich was planned. Many in the group fought against the so called Operation Anthropoid in fear. However, it was still carried out and after several mishaps, Heydrich died in hospital.
The conspirators were betrayed by one of their resistance members who gave the Nazis the information for the reward money and the safety of his family. He was brought to justice after the war by the Czechoslovakian government. The rest of the members of the resistance killed themselves to avoid capture and torture in effort to save those that supported them.
The men directly involved in the murder of Heydrich hid out in the Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, awaiting papers that would guarantee their safe transport from the country. The priest hid them in the basement of the church. After the torture of a son of one of the deceased members, he gave up the name of the church and the Germans stormed their hideout.
Three of the resistance fighters moved inside the church to guard the crypt from above while those below remained unseen for some time. They were eventually discovered and the Nazis tried to flood them out of the crypt.
The resistance fighters held the church against 750 Gestapo for about 2 hours using only side arms and other small or personal ammunition against the German machine guns. All members were either killed by the Germans or committed suicide to avoid capture and inevitable torture.
The extent of their heroism hasn't been given the attention it deserved, perhaps because of the vicious reprisals by the Nazis or their own propaganda. The men of the Czech and Slovak resistance are rightfully considered national heroes and patriots.
5. Old Jewish Cemetery
Prague's historic Jewish cemetery dates back to the middle of the 14th century and was an active burial place until the late 1780s. There are thousands of graves and memorials in the cemetery, the oldest of which was installed 1439. There are many prominent members of the Jewish community buried here.
6. Clementinum
The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings that hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, and the City Library until 2009 when the Technical library and the Municipal library moved to the Prague National Technical library in Prague. The onsite chapel dates back to the 11th century
St. Nicholas Church
The St. Nicholas Church is a Baroque church that dates back to the 17th century. There was a gothic style church in the same position prior to this that was built in the 13th century. During the communist era, it was used by the State Security to supervise the nearby embassies. The church holds weekly mass every Sunday.
Lennon Wall
Previous to the 1980s, this wall was just like any other wall in Prague until locals began spray painting lyrics of Beatles songs and their grievances on the surface. It was a point of contention for the Soviet government at the time. The portrait of Lennon has long since been covered by layers of paint but it is still an active site. Enjoy the inspirational phrases and slice of life in Prague and Czechia through this wall.
Wenceslas Square
Much to the dismay of the locals, Wenceslas Square is currently lined with fast food joints and is a popular place for prostitutes to...find some friends for the night. However, this square has a lot of historical significance.
In 1384, the Bohemian King Charles IV founded and separated the New Town of Prague. He laid out plans for markets and public areas and a wall was constructed separating the old and new town. The Wenceslas Monument was built during the Czech National Revival during the 19th century and was later the site where the independence of Czechoslovakia was declared in 1918. During the Velvet Revolution, large demonstrations were held in the square.
The National Museum stands at one end and the Wenceslas Monument at the other.

Just today I learned about a feature in the Gnome desktop environment that is the Ubuntu default. I absent-mindedly middle-clicked the title bar of a window, and found it sent the window to the back, behind any other windows. It's the opposite to left-clicking the title bar, which brings the window to the front, which everyone knows about.
You learn something every day.
