WASHINGTON, D.C. - "Flight" lands in theaters this weekend, but don't look for the movie on the in-flight entertainment menu the next time you're on a plane.
The film opens with a catastrophic aircraft malfunction, forcing seasoned pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) to make a crash landing. First lauded as a hero for saving nearly everyone onboard, investigators later find out Whitaker had alcohol in his system. It's just one of the nightmares played out in a host of Hollywood films you'd probably rather be on terra firma to watch.
"I keep saying this was born out of my two greatest fears: drinking myself to death and dying in a plane crash," screenwriter John Gatins said. "It's like, wrap those two fears together and put it in this movie."
"I much prefer my disasters to happen in a movie than in real life," said "Flight" director Robert Zemeckis. "I'm not afraid to fly. I read the statistics, and I do believe that flying is the safest form of transportation, much safer than driving in a car."
Not all of the cast share the same confidence.
John Goodman, who plays Whip's best friend and enabler won't be watching "Flight" or any other airplane disaster movie while flying. "Oh, God I hope not," Goodman said. "I do better without thinking, but I've had trouble flying for a long time."
Washington shrugged off any suggestion that his work on the film could make him a nervous flier. "I mean, it's just a movie," Washington said. "Well, worrying about it isn't going to change anything, so I don't worry about it."
Melissa Leo, who plays a National Transportation Safety Board investigator in the film, is similarly unconcerned about life imitating art.
"You know, I've done a handful of 'Law & Orders' in my day. What, am I going to worry that I'm gonna become a murderer?" she said. "As I pass the pilots in the airport, I like to feel that they're incredibly responsible people who understand the responsibility they're taking on."
While flying is certainly statistically very safe, "Flight" brings to mind more than a few films that could make even the most confident passenger jittery. Here are 10 more movies that might be better to watch on the ground.
This 1970 drama takes off with a blizzard, closed runways and a suicide bomber planning to blow up a Boeing 707 so his wife can collect the insurance money. The blockbuster includes what Variety called "a cast of stars as long as a jet runway," including Dean Martin, Burt Lancaster and George Kennedy. It won an Academy Award and was nominated for nine others, including best picture.
Three sequels followed, including "Airport 1975," in which a small plane slams into a 747, "Airport '77," in which a 747 crashes and sinks to the bottom of the ocean with passengers trapped aboard, and "Airport '79: The Concorde," in which the supersonic jet has to avoid attack and make an unusual emergency landing.
While "Airport" played terror in the sky as a serious drama, "Airplane!" (1980) , starring Leslie Nielsen, Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty plays it as farce. When the pilots are sickened by their fish dinners, it's left to Ted Striker (Robert Hays) to land the plane safely. "It is sophomoric, obvious, predictable, corny, and quite often very funny. And the reason it's funny is frequently because it's sophomoric, predictable, corny, etc.," wrote critic Roger Ebert at the time. Honorable mention: "Zero Hour," the 1957 film that took virtually the same plot seriously and contributed much of the dialogue for "Airplane!" almost verbatim.
"United 93"
This intense drama takes place on the flight hijacked on 9/11 that eventually crashed into a field in Pennsylvania as passengers tried to regain control. The movie, made five years after the attacks, was described in 2006 by Entertainment Weekly as "a harrowing, documentary-style reenactment, in real time, of what might have happened on the one airplane that didn't fulfill the terrorists' intended goals on Sept. 11." Included in the cast are some Federal Aviation Administration and military employees who were on duty and dealt with the hijacked plane on the day of the attacks.
"Cast Away"
Even if you're traveling with an anthropomorphic volleyball, the movie "Cast Away" (2000) could make you a bit jittery. A FedEx executive, played by Tom Hanks, is the only survivor of a plane crash and is forced to learn to live stranded on a deserted island with only a Wilson volleyball as a companion.
"Snakes on a Plane"
"All anyone really needs to know about this amusingly crude, honestly satisfying artifact is snakes + plane + Samuel L. Jackson," wrote The New York Times at the time of the 2006 release. Crate loads of hyped-up serpents start killing the cast in creative ways as Jackson's character tries to figure out how to save the aircraft and the FBI informant onboard.
This 1993 drama tells the true story of a plane crash in the icy Andes Mountains of South America. The crash is only the start of the survivors' ordeal as they are forced to live on the treacherous mountainside facing starvation, the elements and the fact that they may never be rescued.
"Passenger 57"
Charles Rane picks the wrong plane to hijack because of the man who happens to be passenger 57. "Wesley Snipes quips, glares, and kung fus his way through the role of John Cutter, a terrorism and hijacking expert who happens to be aboard the same plane as a terrorist hijacker," wrote Entertainment Weekly at the time of the film's 1992 release. A battle of wits ensues between Cutter and Rane on the L-1011 aircraft and in a Louisiana carnival.
"Twilight Zone"
A gremlin on the plane's wing at 20,000 feet could make anyone's flight a bit nerve-racking. The 1983 film (with Jon Lithgow) and the TV episode (with William Shatner) 20 years earlier both feature men who see something out to sabotage the plane on the wing but can't get anyone else to believe them.
"Die Hard 2, Die Harder"
In this 1990 sequel, Bruce Willis returns as John McClane to fight terrorists trying to free a captured Latin American general by taking over Dulles Airport near Washington and trying to force planes circling overhead to run out of fuel. McClane, whose wife is on one of the planes, "places first in every event, including wrestling for guns, jumping onto conveyor belts, being ejected from cockpits, leaping onto the wings of moving airplanes and fighting with the authorities," Ebert wrote.
"The Terminal"
If you think you are out of the woods when your plane touches down, you might want to keep "The Terminal" (2004) stowed away. The film starring Tom Hanks revolves around a man trapped in legal limbo at JFK Airport. Unable to return to his home country and unable to clear customs and enter the United States, he's forced to figure out how to survive inside the terminal.

N.Y. golfer sees 'heaven' at Masters before dying of cancer
Troy Whittemore loved a lot of things — his family, friends, guns, baseball, hunting and golf. Oh, did he love golf.
His passion for the game got him to golf nirvana, Augusta National Golf Club, for this year's Masters to see the best players in the world.
He was at the end, as it turns out, of a three-year fight with cancer. Exactly one week after his dream trip, he died at age 23.
Troy lived in Ithaca, N.Y., with his mom, Jodie Meyers; his father, Matt Whittemore; and his younger brother, Trevar.
He was the kind of person, Meyers said, who could meet someone on the first tee, and by the turn, they'd be buddies.
"Troy was a great kid," his mother said, holding back tears. "He just warmed up to everybody, and everybody enjoyed him."
The cancer that ravaged his body and took his life April 17 did its best to slow down Troy. But up until his final moments, he was determined to get the most out of every second in life.
Troy studied criminal justice and played on the golf team at Tompkins Cortland Community College. He earned an associate's degree in 2010, then went to SUNY Cortland to continue his studies.
Troy's love of golf did take him far — to junior and college tournaments around the state and region as a participant, and to a few professional tournaments as a spectator with his mom and family friend Tom Fox.
Fox became Troy's traveling companion on his last golf journey, a pilgrimage of sorts, to one of the most picturesque golf layouts in the world: Augusta National in Georgia, home of the Masters, the first of golf's four major annual men's tournaments.
In January, nearly three years after first being diagnosed with testicular cancer, Troy saw his health took another bad turn. He must have realized that if he was going to make it to the Masters, he'd better make plans soon.
Meyers was as excited as her son about the prospect but never got her son's hopes up too high.
"Getting someone to the Masters isn't easy. We didn't dwell on it," she said.
But Meyers' boss at Cornell University helped make the dream a reality.
Charles Phlegar, the vice president for alumni affairs and development, previously worked at the University of South Carolina in Columbia and had several friends with connections to the tournament.
Phlegar told Troy's story to one of his friends, who agreed to give up his tickets for him.
"I knew how passionate Troy was about golf and how he had this dream of going to the Masters," Phlegar said, "so it was not that difficult of a thing to actually do for him."
Thanks to the kindness of strangers, Troy and Fox were in Augusta for the first round of the Masters on April 10. It was a perfect day; the sun shined on the manicured course.
Troy got to meet and chat with several players, including South African star Ernie Els. He also met rising U.S. star Dustin Johnson, who autographed a golf glove for him with the words, "To: Troy. Stay strong!"
Though Troy's life would last just a week longer, Fox said Troy was renewed and reinvigorated while he was at the tournament.
"It's like he'd got a second wind all of a sudden," Fox said. "You wouldn't have known he was so close to death. He was really enjoying life. He was in heaven, even though he hadn't gotten there yet."

I've typed up a list of all the purchasable, craftable, festival, reputation, and taxidermy items and posted it here.
I've also added it to one of the worksheet tabs on my Character Reference Sheet which can be found at the top of the right column of this page if you would like to have this information as an Excel spreadsheet..
Pictures of the items are available here. All of the pictures are up now!
I would like to publish (on the floorplans page) a list of how many of each kind of hook are in each floorplan. If you know that information for your housing type, please post it below.
I welcome all suggestions on format, content, and typos . Please let me know if this is worth the time I'm putting into it.
I did some experimenting, and 300x300 seems to be about the ideal size, although it still makes the pages a bit clunky. I'm sorry for the darkness of some of the shots, but some items could only be found in Dwarf country .
I'm concerned that I wouldn't have the bandwidth to host MP3's of the house music. Any suggestions in that regard?
I'm also attempting to make it a more comprehensive guide to housing as a whole.

walmart exclusive deluxe dotm optimus problem
I seem to have bought a walmart deluxe optimus exclusive from dotm that has a messed up elbow joint. It is a great figure other than the fact that it doesnt completely turn into truck mode because of the messed up arm. I was wondering if this was just a rare fluke with the mold or if it is something alot of people are having trouble with, and also if anyone knows a good way to fix it! If it is just a fluke I will simply dish out another 10 bucks and hope for a better arm, otherwise help wanted!
Re: walmart exclusive deluxe dotm optimus problem
Twas probably just a fluke.
"When there's gold feathers, punch behind you!!"
"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -- C.S. Lewis
Re: walmart exclusive deluxe dotm optimus problem
I had the same problem with the first one I bought when it was out, I went back to walmart and looked to find a better one and did get a good one, but I think it was a more common problem at the time than some realize. I guess I still use the faulty one as battle damaged when I pit him up against leader sentinel!
I remember now, I sort of fixed his arm that way... there is the thread from when I got mine messed up though. Wish I could find the article about heating it up in warm water to fix it. Anyway, now that I see this is a direct copy of my original post, that is how it went down with the one I actually had, though I should have known it was a copy since DOTM optimus deluxe hasn't been 10 bucks in a while now.
The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him.

Location: National Peanut Research LaboratoryTitle: Nondestructive measurement of moisture content of different types of wheat using a single calibration with a parallel-plate capacitance sensor
|Kandala, Chari
|Settaluri, Vijayasaradh - New Mexico State University
|Sundaram, Jaya
Submitted to: Transactions of the ASABE
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/1/2012
Publication Date: 6/1/2012
Citation: Kandala, C., Settaluri, V., Sundaram, J. 2012. Nondestructive measurement of moisture content of different types of wheat using a single calibration with a parallel-plate capacitance sensor. Transactions of the ASABE. 55(4).
Interpretive Summary: Moisture content is an important factor to be measured and controlled for a variety of grain such as corn and wheat, and nuts such as peanuts and pecans. Wheat is an important crop produced world wide and is are popular crops produced in North America and cultivated inconsiderably large areas. Moisture content* in cereal grains is an important factor determining suitability for storage, transport, milling, and other processes. Knowledge of grain-lot moisture contents is also very important whenever grain is traded, not only for the reasons stated, but also because the moisture level influences the trading price. Moisture content affects the economic value of grain lots because of drying costs, if moisture content is above safe storage levels, and because of the "shrinkage" that takes place when the moisture content is reduced. Loss in weight because of moisture driven off when grain is dried must be taken into account in determining the fair market value. In this work it is established that from impedance measurements made with a low-cost moisture meter developed at the National Peanut Laboratory the moisture content of wheat samples, in the moisture ranges of 9% to 25%, could be determined within an accuracy of 1%. The same calibration equation worked well for six different types of wheat and this method being nondestructive and rapid would be suitable for moisture content measurements of wheat and similar crops.
Technical Abstract: A simple, low cost instrument that measures impedance and phase angle was used along with a parallel-plate capacitance system to estimate the moisture content (MC) of six types of wheat. Moisture content of grain is important and is measured at various stages of their processing and storage. A sample of about 150 g of wheat was placed separately between a set of parallel plate electrodes and the impedance and phase angle of the system were measured at frequencies 1 and 5 MHz. A semi- empirical equation was developed using the measured impedance and phase angle values, and the computed capacitance and the MC values obtained by standard air-oven method. Multi Linear Regression (MLR) method was used for the empirical equation development using statistical methods. In the present work, a low-cost impedance analyzer designed and assembled in our laboratory was used to measure the impedance and phase angles. MC values of wheat samples in the moisture range of 9% to 25%, not used in the calibration, were predicted by the equations and compared with their standard air-oven values. For over 93% of the samples tested from the six varieties of wheat, the predicted MC values were within 1% of the air-oven values. This method, being nondestructive and rapid, will have considerable application in the drying and storage processes of wheat and similar field crops.

The embattled Whistler Outdoor Adventures, which came under worldwide condemnation after the massacre of many of its sled dogs in April, 2010, announced today it is gifting its entire sled dog operation to a newly created not-for-profit foundation.
The Sled Dog Foundation will own the company's surviving 153 dogs, the land leases, kennels and equipment and plan to give all of the profits towards the improvement of animal welfare of sled dogs.
Whistler Outdoor Adventures owner Joey Houssian had suspended his company's sled dog division after the killings became public knowledge and previously told the media he took "moral responsibility" for the dogs' deaths.
It was initially believed 100 sled dogs had been massacred after Bob Fawcett, who ran the company's sled dog division at the time, filed a workers compensation claim for post-traumatic stress. In that report it was detailed how Fawcett killed the chained dogs in front of each other either by shooting them or slitting their throats before burying them in a mass grave. When the BC SPCA conducted an investigation only 52 dogs were found in the grave on the Pemberton crown land compound where the dogs lived.
"The allegations about how the sled dogs were treated came as a great shock to me and my staff," said Houssian in Wednesday's press release. "Since then, and after significant research and consultation with animal welfare experts, academics and others, my team concluded that we would try to influence positive change for the industry and for the welfare of sled dogs. We believe the creation of this Foundation is the best way to achieve this."
Foundation director Stephanie McDonald, who is a CEO on the Board of the Edmonton Humane Society, welcomed the gift as a "great first start."
"The enduring revenue generated by the sled dog operating company creates the opportunity to establish world-leading practices and to provide educational opportunities at a grass roots level on a national scale," she stated in the release.
The other board members of the newly created foundation include Sue Eckersley, a Whistler business leader who also serves on the Board of Directors of Whistler Animals Galore, the local animal shelter and Whistler veterinarian Dr. David Lane, owner of Coast Mountain Veterinary Hospital who has worked for Whistler Outdoor Adventures for the past 19 years.
The sled dog deaths sparked changes to B.C.'s animal cruelty laws after a provincial Sled Dog Task Force was struck and made its recommendations a year after the massacre in April, 2011.
Fines for animal abuse for the most serious offenders rose from a maximum of $10,000 to $75,000 and jail sentences increased from six months to two years. To date, no charges have been laid.

Judge to rule against NC teacher tenure law
A Guilford County judge is backing two school districts fighting a North Carolina law that phases out job protections for public school teachers in favor of employment contracts.
Superior Court Judge Richard Doughton said in court on Wednesday he would issue an order blocking the teacher tenure law.
Greensboro attorney Jill Wilson represents Guilford County Schools in the lawsuit that also includes Durham schools. Wilson says it won't be known until Doughton issues a written order in several days whether it will apply statewide.
Lawmakers last year directed all school districts to pick the best 25 percent of classroom teachers this spring and offer them tenure-ending, four-year contracts with pay raises totaling $5,000.
Supporters say ending job protections in place for more than 40 years will promote sharper classroom performance.

Loyola To Break Ground on $137 Million Medical Research and Education Center
Loyola University Chicago will break ground August 16 on a $137 million medical research and education building to support nearly 500 scientists and staff working together to improve human health.
The Loyola University Chicago Center for Translational Research and Education, a collaboration with Loyola University Health System and CHE-Trinity, will be located on the university's Health Sciences Campus. The five-story, 227,000 square-foot building is scheduled to open in April 2016.
The center will include open laboratory and support space for 72 principal investigators plus space for 40 lead scientists engaged in desktop research such as public health, health services, nursing, bioinformatics, and epidemiology. A 250-seat auditorium will provide a unique link with the local community, serving primarily as a showcase for health-related programming.
Michael J. Garanzini, S.J., President and CEO of Loyola University Chicago, stated "this project is one of the most significant outcomes of the partnership of Loyola University Chicago, Loyola University Health System, and CHE-Trinity." In 2011, CHE-Trinity acquired the health system from the university. As part of this agreement, the university and CHE-Trinity each committed to share the cost of a $150 million research enterprise, which comprises the $137 million building and funding to attract and support leading researchers.
Larry M. Goldberg, President and CEO of Loyola University Health System, said research conducted at the center "will translate medical discoveries into practical applications that will improve how we prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. This research will help advance the health system's clinical programs, including cardiovascular disease, oncology, neuroscience, infectious disease and immunology, burn and shock trauma, and public health."
The center will accommodate principal investigators, postdoctoral trainees, physicians, nurses, fellows, graduate students, and students from Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine and Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.
"The Center for Translational Research and Education will lift us to the next level of discovery, providing space where today's ideas will grow into tomorrow's breakthroughs," said Richard L. Gamelli, MD, FACS, Senior Vice President and Provost of Health Sciences of Loyola University Chicago. "It is being built on the precept that world-class health science research must be applied at the patient's bedside to achieve the greatest good."
Researchers now scattered among buildings throughout the Health Sciences Campus will be centralized in the research and education center, rising on what is now a parking lot between the medical school and an office building.
"Bringing our community of scientists together into one location will foster greater collaboration, which will lead to more discoveries and rapid translation into interventions for prevention and treatment of disease," said Richard H. Kennedy, PhD, Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Programs for Loyola University Chicago's Health Sciences Division. "Researchers no longer work alone. Science today is a team effort. The research and education center is designed to facilitate such teamwork."

LETTER- Nobody predicted Goode's fall
[Re: June 26 story, "Lifeline to Larry: Will Congress save Sabato's program"]:
Larry Sabato has to be ranked among the leading political scientists in the US. His predictions, including anticipation of forthcoming matters of interest exceeds the norm for economists who present themselves as more rigorous (read: more quantitave) than their colleages in the social sciences.
To suggest that Larry's forecast that Perriello would not defeat Virgil Goode because of Goode's support for Sabato's center is to ignore all of the other crystal-ballers who predicted similar results.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Outfit Details:
coat with faux fur details – Juicy Couture
Darling Dress – Emerging Thoughts
tights – Target
boots – c/o Alberto Fermani
bag – c/o Brahmin
Yesterday was my favorite day of the year: Breakfast at Tiffany's! I feel so lucky to attend; it never gets old. It's a truly magical way to kick off the holiday season.
With Breakfast at Tiffany's in mind, I put on this coat and a little black dress that seemed appropriate for the occasion. I picked up the coat at the Juicy holiday preview – they had a discount I couldn't pass up, and the coat had this vintage vibe that was calling my name. But it gets so much better! After finding out about the Adopt NY fundraiser we're having next Monday, they graciously offered to donate a matching coat to the cause, along with a hat and gloves. If you like this coat, you'll have a chance to bid on one for yourself (as well as the hat/gloves) at the Shop for Adopt NY sale next Monday. Thank you for being so generous, Juicy Couture!

Management of erectile dysfunction and LUTS/incontinence: the two most common, long-term side effects of prostate cancer treatment.
Authors: Shabataev V, Saadat SH, Elterman DS Abstract The two major long-term concerns associated with different options for the management of prostate cancer, (including surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, cryotherapy, HIFU, etc.) include difficulties with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and/or erectile dysfunction. LUTS can be in the form of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), frequency/urgency, and/or voiding difficulties. While surgery is mostly associated with SUI and radiation mostly results in UUI, there can be an overlap. Incontinence rates after cryotherapy and high in...

The College of Family Physicians of Canada currently endorses positions that recommend against prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in men of all ages, while the Canadian Urological Association recommends shared and informed decision making for PSA screening in men 50-70 years old. Unfortunately, these opposing stances have left Family Physicians responsible for interpreting the appropriate course of action for their patients.

09/18/13 Hunters in Indiana can expect another productive deer season in 2013, but probably not as productive as last year's record setter.
Hoosier deer hunters in 2012 harvested 136,248 deer. The deer harvest record has been broken in four of the last five seasons, a trend that DNR deer research biologist Chad Stewart doesn't expect to continue in 2013.
"It wouldn't surprise me if it was down a little this year," Stewart said. "But I don't expect the harvest numbers to fall off a cliff. There will still be plenty of deer out there."
The 2013 overall deer hunting season began Sunday with the opening of the urban deer zone season. Archery season starts Oct. 1. Firearms season starts Nov. 16. For more information on seasons and regulations, visit Hunting.IN.gov.
The main reason Stewart thinks a dip in the harvest might happen is because hunters in 2012 harvested a record number of does. As a result, reproduction was likely down this year compared to previous years.
Stewart emphasized that reducing the deer population to a more balanced level has been the DNR's goal in recent years. Changes to hunting regulations that went into effect in 2012 were geared toward that goal. The changes included extending archery season, allowing crossbows for all archery hunters and creating a "license bundle" that saved hunters money.
"A reduced deer harvest would mean we are making progress," Stewart said.
The 2013 license bundles give the additional option of harvesting either two antlerless deer and a buck or three antlerless deer.
Last year's record deer harvest happened even as epizootic hemorrhagic disease was reported in 67 of 92 Indiana counties. The outbreak killed many deer before hunting season began, especially in northern Indiana. This year 15 counties have reported EHD.

With the passage of No Child Left Behind, the Administration has made a commitment to assure that every child has a highly qualified teacher in his or her classroom. In order to support teachers, Title II of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 provides grants to State and local educational agencies to improve teacher and principal quality and increase the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools.
- The Department's Teacher/Principal Quality webpage contains information on the law and areas of flexibility recently announced by the Secretary.
- Read guidance MS WORD (1,104K) issued by the Department that addresses how the teacher quality provisions included in No Child Left Behind apply to career and technical education teachers.
- The Department has sections of ED.gov dedicated to the interests of teachers and administrators.
Research consistently shows that teacher quality is among the most important contributors to student achievement. A recent report released by The Education Trust indicates that the most effective teachers are producing not just a little growth, but as many as six times the learning gains produced by the least effective teachers. Moreover, these effects accumulate over the grade levels, with initially similar-achieving students separated by as many as 50 percentile points three years later based solely on the quality of the teachers to which they were assigned. (Good Teaching Matters: How Well-Qualified Teachers Can Close the Gap, The Education Trust, 1998)
Despite the importance of good teaching, many students-particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds-are taught by teachers lacking sufficient qualifications and experience. A separate report by The Education Trust indicates that children in high-poverty schools are almost twice as likely as other students to have teachers lacking a major or minor in the subject they are teaching and having three or fewer years of teaching experience. (New Frontiers for a New Century, Spring 2001, The Education Trust)
Current national data suggest that teacher quality will be of growing concern in the coming years (from Eliminating Barriers to Improving Teaching MS WORD (196K)):
- 30 percent of new public school teachers are hired without full certification, and at least 43 states report that they grant waivers to hire teachers who are not fully certified.
- Minority teachers comprise only 13 percent of the teaching force, although minority students comprise 36 percent of the student population.
- 85 percent of teachers report receiving less than eight hours a year of professional development, and, of the newest teachers, only 44 percent report participating in formal first-year mentoring programs.
- Less than half (42%) of college graduates who prepared for teaching apply for a teaching job within four years, and 22 percent of new public teachers leave the profession in the first three years.
Noteworthy Practices
Community leaders, administrators and educators themselves are working to improve the quality of teaching.

In 1984, New Jersey developed an alternative route to teacher certification to improve the quality of its teaching corps. According to this analysis by the Fordham Foundation, the program has "markedly expanded the quality, diversity, and size of the state's teacher candidate pool."

"So fragile was the structure of their reality that a single unsubsumed consciousness, a solitary ripple in their little pond was enough to roil the waters into a frothing, burbling foam."—Norman Spinrad, The Void Captain's Tale (1985)
Consider five factors that had no effect on the very warm reception given by President Barack Obama to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan:
– While the U.S. government has pressured Erdogan not to visit the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Erdogan announced in the White House Rose Garden that he would do so. An alleged U.S. ally says publicly in front of Obama, while being hosted by him, that he is going to defy the United States.
This is not some routine matter. With previous presidents, if an ally was going to do something like that he would say nothing at the time, and then months later would subvert U.S. policy. Or better yet, the foreign leader would not do so. To announce defiance in such a way is a serious sign of how little respect Middle East leaders have for Obama — and for U.S. policy nowadays — and how little Obama will do about it.
– Equally bad: Erdogan directly promised Obama that he would conciliate with Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cooperated, because Obama asked him to do so. That's what U.S. allies do. But immediately Erdogan showed he would pay no attention to the agreement he made.
His negotiators subverted it in several ways, including with demands for ridiculously large amounts of money, the delay in the promised return of the Turkish ambassador to Israel, and the continuation of legal action against Israeli officials involved in the Mavi Marmara affair, when Israeli soldiers were attacked by Turkish terrorists demanding to sail to Gaza to deliver equipment to Hamas.
So a second time, Erdogan betrayed Obama and make the president look foolish (that is, had anyone in the mass media pointed it out). Again, there was no U.S. criticism of the move or apparent pressure to make Erdogan keep his promise.
Three other ways that Erdogan has subverted U.S. interests with minimal costs (in fact, the Obama administration has usually furthered this behavior):
– Some small U.S. diplomatic protests were made about the growing internal repression in Turkey and human rights violations there. Increasingly, the country lives under a reign of intimidation even as the Western media mostly ignores this situation. Since the United States keeps praising him, Erdogan can demoralize his opponents, who cannot hope for foreign help even as he carries on a policy of spreading anti-Americanism in Turkey.
The political power of the Turkish armed forces — the traditional guarantor of the republic and stability in the country — was dismantled by Erdogan with U.S. approval. The Turkish media was subverted with only an occasional American squeal of complaint. Now he's destroying the independent judicial system, the last barrier to his assault on democratic rule. The U.S. embassy in Turkey consistently warned about what has been happening; the White House ignored this information.
– With the Obama administration's permission, the Turkish government violates the sanctions against Iran with ever-larger trade and major bilateral cooperation projects. Erdogan's consistent defenses of Iran's policies (though the two countries are at odds over Syria) have been forgiven and forgotten by the White House.– In many ways, the Turkish government has been taking the lead on setting U.S. policy toward Syria. It was Erdogan who largely determined that the official opposition exile leadership would be dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, a path followed by Obama. (I can't prove it — but I'll bet that Turkey's regime promised Obama that if he would declare support for the rebels verbally and let them be armed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia then Assad would easily fall. I'd also bet that Erdogan assured Obama that if the president helped the rebels a moderate government would emerge in Syria.)
Meanwhile, Obama has praised Erdogan unstintingly. Obama thinks Erdogan is the very model of a "moderate Islamist", and since Obama's strategy is to support such people in much of the Arab world, Erdogan has been his guide to the region, though this has meant supporting the radical Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Especially ironic: Obama believed that Erdogan's goals were essentially the same as those of the United States, while Erdogan was in fact following a profoundly anti-American policy designed to bring hostile Islamist governments to power. Remember this is no longer the old Western-oriented Turkey of previous decades, but a radical — if concealed — Islamist regime.

Pope Benedict: God is present during 'times of darkness'
Pope Benedict XVI told pilgrims in St. Peter's Square that they should look to the Bible's third psalm to recall that God is near "even in times of difficulty, problems, and darkness."
"In the Psalmist's lament," Pope Benedict observed in his September 7 general audience, "each of us may recognize those feelings of pain and bitterness, accompanied by faith in God, which, according the biblical narrative, David experienced as he fled from his city."
Pope Benedict presided over the Wednesday general audience at the Vatican before returning to Castel Gandolfo, his summer vacation residence.
His discussion of Psalm 3 served as the beginning of his treatment of the Psalms – which he called "the book of prayer par excellence" – as part of his continuing series of lessons on "the school of prayer."
Psalm 3, Pope Benedict recalled, comes from "one of the most dramatic episodes" in the life of King David, to whom the Church has traditionally ascribed the entire book of Psalms. It represents David's cry for help after his son Absalom usurped his throne, forcing David to flee from Jerusalem in fear.
The incident prompts David to exlaim: "How many are my foes, Lord! How many rise against me! How many say of me, 'God will not save that one.'"
David's persecutors, Pope Benedict noted, not only threaten his life, but "also seek to break his bond with God and to undermine the faith of their victim by insinuating that the Lord cannot intervene."
Their aggression against "the central core of the Psalmist's being" subjects David to one of the most serious temptations a believer can suffer, "the temptation of losing faith and trust in the closeness of God."
But the author of Psalm 3 also recalls that God is "a shield around me," and declares: "Whenever I cried out to the Lord, I was answered from the holy mountain … I do not fear, then, thousands of people arrayed against me on every side."
"By praying this Psalm," Pope Benedict told the crowd of pilgrims, "we share the sentiments of the Psalmist: a just but persecuted figure which would later be fulfilled in Jesus. In pain, danger and the bitterness of misunderstanding and offense, the words of this Psalm open our hearts to the comforting certainty of faith."
"God is always close, even in times of difficulty, problems and darkness," the Pope taught. "He listens, responds and saves." David's cry of desperation, then, is also "an act of faith in God's closeness and His willingness to listen."
Pope Benedict explained that the third psalm, like the entirety of the Old Testament, points to Jesus' experience of suffering, death, and final deliverance.
Through the words of this psalm, Christians can learn to "recognize (God's) presence and accept his ways, like David during his humiliating flight from his son Absalom … and, finally and fully, like the Lord Jesus on Golgotha."
When darkness and pain arrive, the ability to recognize God's presence makes an immense difference, as it did when Christ died in circumstances that seemed to have no redeeming value.
"In the eyes of the unrighteous it appeared that God did not intervene and that his son died," the Pope said. "But for believers it was at that precise moment that true glory was manifested and definitive salvation achieved."
"May the Lord give us faith," Pope Benedict concluded. "May he come in aid of our weakness and help us to pray in moments of anguish, in the painful nights of doubt and the long days of pain, abandoning ourselves trustingly to him – our shield and our glory."

Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle
Developed over a decade between 2008 and 2018, the Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle (MCV) is designed to provide direct infantry support in defense of the Japanese home islands. Smaller and lighter than traditional main battle tanks, the MCV can be deployed more rapidly and operate with less infrastructure and support. It's narrow 8x8 chassis enables it to traverse narrow roads and bridges and to make ready use of prepared roads and highways without the aid of heavy-lift transports. It's 105mm main gun can engage adversary armor, buildings, and troops.
In the Box
Upon removal of the box lid, the modeler is greeted by 5 olive-colored sprue sporting exquisitely detailed and flash free parts. Accompanying the styrene is a pair of polycaps for the main gun trunion, 8 vinyl tires, a small decal sheet with markings for 2 vehicles, and assembly instructions and painting guide.

Instructions and Decals
The Build
Not a whole lot to say about the build. It's Tamiya. Toss in a bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin Cement, close and shake the box, and out comes a beautifully-assembled kit. It's almost that easy. Instructions are typical of Tamiya -- clear, logical, bite-sized steps with clear illustrations and color callouts. Everything goes together without any putty. Part seams are along natural panel lines, and parts are keyed to prevent misalignment or misplacement. The following step-by-step shows how easy and pain-free this baby went together.
Step 1 - Hull bottom and top establish the core structure
Step 2 was deferred until later in the build
Step 3 - Hull sides and drivetrain build up the hull
Step 4 - Suspension and Steering Arms Added
Steps 5 and 6 Deferred to Later in Build (On a mission to finish the hull assembly!)
Step 7 - Toss on a viewport and hatch
Step 8 - Tow cable and wheel chocks complete hull assembly
Step 9 - Turret assembly starts with polycaps and main gun trunion
Step 11 - Smoke Grenade Launchers
Step 12 - Turret Sides and Mantlet
Step 14 - Turret Details and Bustle Rack Added
Step 16 - Armament Added
Step 18 - Turret and Hull Mated
Wheels Added from Prior Step
No rocket science was employed in finishing this Type 16 review sample. A simple flat black primer base topped with prescribed Tamiya Acrylic colors, with some modulating and basic weathering, really brought a well-engineered assembly experience to a new level. The following step-by-step gives some insight into the finishing process.
Economy flat black spray paint provided the perfect primer base and pre-shade
A monochrome canvas ready for some color
Kit-prescribed colors give a great camo effect over the flat black primer
Topside colors, each lightened with a few drops of flat white, provide some modulated highlight effects
Toss on the wheels, and the basic kit is almost done
Microscale system was used to apply the decals, which were largely silvering-free.
Decals were sealed with Testors Model Master Acryl Flat
A little more time invested adding antennae, pin washes, and some light pigment effects round out the effects.
Now for the walk-around...
Once again, the crew at Tamiya don't disappoint with this latest addition to their 1/48 armor portfolio with the addition of the Type 16 MCV. Great engineering, clear instructions, and an interesting subject made this build a lot of fun, and it really piqued my interest in modern Japanese armor (yes, I want to snag a Type 10 Main Battle Tank to serve as a companion piece). This kit is an outstanding build for beginners and advanced modelers looking for a visually-interesting modern subject that's just plain fun and satisfying to build.
Highly Recommended for Beginner to Advanced builders.
Thanks goes out to Tamiya for this review kit.
