Generally, anyone with children can take advantage of one of the greatest tax saving opportunities granted by Congress. This tax benefit was established by Congress to both encourage home businesses with tax free earnings, and also encourage saving for higher education using tax deferred earnings with Educational Individual Retirement Accounts.
For each child employed in the family business, you are entitled to deduct up to $5950 annually tax free for each child. Just the savings in Federal taxes alone approaches $2,000 for each child. At a recent fireside we were explaining this benefit to a group of firefighters from Los Angeles. We were asked this question at the conclusion of our presentation.
"You mean to tell me that if my son pays my grandson $5,950 per year, and puts the entire $5,950 in a joint bank account with no taxes deducted that my son can turn around and spend the money any way he chooses, and then at the end of the year Uncle Sugar will send us another $2,000."
I am happy to tell you, that's exactly how it works.
His response was, "…that makes no sense at all."
There's nothing logical or sensible about our tax system, but that's just one of many benefits available to home-businesses.
Here's how it works:
- Dependent children ages 6–18 (up to 23 if students & still working in the business)
- Pay each child up to $5,950 per year tax free
- If you write them a check for $495.83 for a month's work then you deposit $495.83 into a joint account established in their name.
- You as con-signer can spend the money any way you choose…no restrictions
When you take the $5,950 deduction on your Schedule C, your Federal refund will approach an additional $2,000!!! 🙂
Here's what you have to do to qualify:
- Pay them no more and possibly slightly less than you could hire someone to perform the same tasks.
- Keep time sheets and a log of the duties performed. File quarterly and annual payroll reports, for both Federal and state agencies. Issue W2's at year end.
- This must be a "real" payroll. It has to be documented and treated accordingly.
Here's what we can do for you:
- Provide you with an employment agreement for each family member.
- Secure the Federal and State Tax ID numbers.
- Prepare a monthly payroll.
- Prepare and file all required Federal and State Quarterly and Annual Reports.
- Give you access to all reports through our simple web interface.
- Provide sample time sheets you can duplicate.
Basically we offer a turn-key service for $144 per year or $17 per month.
Some states do have some minimal fees even though the payroll is tax exempt.

Hillsborough: Kelvin MacKenzie regrets Sun coverage
Former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie has indicated he has some regrets about the way his newspaper covered the Hillsborough disaster.
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died as a result of the tragedy at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium on 15 April 1989.
The Sun's coverage in the aftermath of the disaster claimed Liverpool fans had stolen from the dead and urinated on victims. It later apologised.
Mr MacKenzie said he would handle the story differently.
Speaking on the Daily Politics on BBC Two, he admitted he had some regrets and felt remorse about some of the things he did while editor of the Sun, from 1981 to 1994.
'Big fury'
Following a heated exchange with Labour MP for Rhondda Chris Bryant, he was asked whether the regrets included the Hillsborough coverage.
He replied: "If I could revisit Hillsborough, certainly I'd do it in a different way.
"I'd do it in the way that the other newspapers did. They basically ran the story and said big fury over... And I wish I'd done that."
The publication of the story led to a widespread boycott of the newspaper in Liverpool.
Lord Justice Taylor's inquiry into the disaster, which reported in 1990, criticised senior police officers on duty at the match for a failure of crowd control and recommended the introduction of all-seater stadiums.
Last month, News International chairman James Murdoch apologised for the coverage while giving evidence at the Leveson enquiry.
He said: "I am aware of the concerns and the hurt it caused and it is something we are very sorry for, and I am as well."
The Hillsborough Independent Panel, set up in 2009, is currently examining documents relating to the disaster. It is due to report its findings next year.
The Cabinet Office has promised to release files relating to Margaret Thatcher and the disaster by June 2012 - if they have not already been released by the panel.

Hello first post here
I recently got a trojan on my computer which i thought i had cleared up then one day i turn it on and it hangs on a black screen for days i ran in safe mode and it hangs on inspnp or what ever its called so i tried troubleshooting and the internet told me too get a XP disk and try a repair only problem is when i try to access my bios i press f2 and it comes up with something called a BIOS setup key and i cannot find anyone else with the same problem. If someone could shed some light on the situation i would be very happy.
"i ran in safe mode and it hangs on inspnp "
It it isn't necessarily hanging while trying to load inspnp - that just happens to be the last thing listed on the screen. It's normal to get a screen full of things that are loading when you go into Safe mode - the screen stays that way for a long while even when Windows is working fine, but normally that screen full of lines should then go away and then you should see either the Logon Screen or the desktop screen load, eventually.
You may not need to get into the bios Setup
Try inserting an XP CD into the drive, then re-starting the computer. If the Boot Order or similar settings are correct, you will see a line "Press any key to boot from CD" or similar - if you see that press the named key or any key while that line is still on the screen - you usually must do that within 5 seconds from when you first see the line.
If that doesn't help,
- if this is a laptop, consult the Owner's or User's manual for your brand name computer model. There is often a key or a key combo that will pop up a menu where you can choose to boot from a CD.
- if this is a desktop computer.....
Unplug the case/power supply, or switch off the AC power to it otherwise.
Power off your monitor.
Open up the case by removing the left side panel as seen when you're looking at the front of the case.
Find the mboard battery and carefully remove it from it's socket. It's usually a shiny coin shaped battery. Wait 5 minutes, install it in it's socket, with the + (positive) polarity mark showing when it's installed.
Restore the AC power to the computer, turn on the monitor's power, and boot the computer.
The first time you boot you will get a "Cmos Checksum Error...." or similar message. You will either be prompted to enter the bios Setup or you will automatically go there. Enter the bios Setup, set the date and time, and set the Boot Order or similar settings so that a CD drive is listed before any hard drive, if it isn't already listed that way.
floppy drive
CD drive
Save bios settings, reboot.
When it's already in the optical drive, the bootable Windows CD should be detected while booting, and you should see the line "Press any key to boot from CD" or similar.
If this is a laptop, why is it you don't know the password ?
That's something a thief, or someone who knowingly or unknowingly bought a stolen computer, or someone who should not have the right to access someone else's computer, or someone who should not have the right to access a corporate or institutional computer, etc., etc., would want to know.
Do you have a LEGITMATE reason ?
The Rules of this web site:
Do not post any questions or answers that infringe on another party's intellectual property. This includes questions asking where to obtain or how to use "warez," "cracks," or anything like that. It also includes posts related to circumventing time limits in shareware software and illegally obtaining software "key codes." Remember, most abandonware is a myth. Copyrights on software last far longer than five years.
Do not post any questions or answers having to deal with hacking or cracking. These include, but are not limited to, entering restricted places on networks or messing up other people's computers.
Not a laptop and i did not steal anything. I just figured out how to reset the password problem is now i dont have a XP disk to doo a repair or whatever is there anyway i can work around this to repair this file.
oh and it does hang on inspnp i left it there for about 24 hours came back and it was still sitting there
Is it a brand-name PC (e.g., Dell, HP, Sony)? If so, you may need to contact the vendor to purchase a new set of restore CDs. If not, and you don't have the original XP CD, you may need to purchase one and reload the OS after formatting the hard drive (which is the most effective way to rid your PC of any traces of a virus).
Oh noes! im trying to avoid erasing data at all costs Its an intel btw
Tell us the make and model of your brand name system, or if you have a generic desktop system, the make and model of the mboard.
The specific model of a brand name system is shown on a label on the outside of the case somewhere, or it can often be determined by going to the brand name's web site.
The model, sometimes the make, of a mboard in a generic desktop system is usually printed on the mboard's surface in obvious larger characters, often between the slots.
The model is often also displayed on a logo (graphical) screen early in the boot, but it's often not as specific as the specific model number.
For Dell computers, they have a Service Tag number - the specific model can be determined by using that on their site, or can often be determined there automatically by you downloading some software. The Service Tag number should be on a label on the outside of the case, probably on the bottom on a laptop, on the back on a desktop, and is often also shown in the bios Setup.

Having had My Little Box taken away from me I have had a hole in my life every month... fellow Subscription Box lovers will understand! I had found the one that I truly loved and that never failed to disappoint, so now that the mourning period is over I am on the hunt for a replacement.
Enter Birchbox, I have seen these boxes pop up on my feed many times and whilst they have never really wowed me before with their content I thought it was about time I gave them a shot. That and they had an offer on, where I got two boxes for the price of one.
January's box was in collaboration with a Company called Ohh Deer, one I am not familiar with. They are a stationery company and boy did the box look super pretty!!! Within the box you got a set of planner stickers designed by Ohh Deer, to fit in with the box's look. I would like to say that there is a theme with the box, however, I cannot seem to ascertain an actual theme with this box..
Rituals, the Ritual of Ayurveda Foaming Shower Gel (Travel-size), R.R.P £4.50. This is a rich gel that transforms into a decadent foam. Sure to add some luxury to your morning shower, with soothing sweet almond oil and Indian rose. I found that it worked very well with my body puff and continued to foam even after it had been applied to the entirety of my body.
PARLOR Moisturising & Repairing Shampoo (Travel-size), R.R.P £16. Free of sulfates, parabens, and gluten; as well as being cruelty-free, this shampoo is off to a great start. This is lightweight but super hydrating; with lemongrass extract, sweet almond extract, oat kernel extract, and panthenol. These all work together to protect your hair from daily damage, gently cleanse and leave your hair ultra soft.
Lord & Berry Blusher Crayon in Peach, £15. This is something I was a little nervous about using, I mean once you have spent all that time applying your foundation etc. then you draw on with a blusher crayon? It could all go wrong right? Well, it didn't ruin my hard work, but it was quite hard to work with. I didn't want to scribble too much on and then have too much on, but drawing a circle on the apples seemed to do the trick. Rubbing it in with your fingers seemed to be the best way to blend, but I did find that up close it made my foundation look a little cakey and patchy. This blusher is cruelty-free and free from nuts & gluten, according to their website.
Marcelle, Waterproof Eyeliner in Charcoal (Travel-size), R.R.P £10.99. I am always happy to receive an eyeliner in beauty box's because let's face it, we always need a good eyeliner. That said this colour is probably not what I would usually go for, it does glide on smoothly and seems to stay in place most of the day.
Afterspa, Amazing Makeup Remover (Travel-size), R.R.P £5.50. I am always skeptical of these sorts of items, especially when it claims to only require water to remove your makeup. I have pretty stubborn make-up that requires just as stubborn cleansers to remove it, so when I tried this out I wasn't hoping for much. I was amazed to find that it did indeed remove all the make-up visible to the naked eye, the real test was when I followed up with my usual facial wash and bamboo cloth. That did show a very faint sign of make-up still on my face, so if you want to be completely clean, then you I wouldn't skip a cleanser. The other thing I found was that the Aftespa was filthy after use and wouldn't clean just under the tap, meaning you would have to wash it after every use. I don't know about you, but I can't be asked with having to wash a face cloth every single time I use it.
At the start, I said that I received two boxes for the price of one, well here is everything in one image. I was pretty happy to have received the Mermaid Edition box as I actually debated getting that box when I saw it featured back in August.
My Verdict, overall I wasn't initially wowed by this box. The main thing that I really liked was the cute little box design and stationary stickers. I find beauty box's to be a bit of a hit and miss when you are a makeup hoarder like me, especially when you prefer higher end brands. That said when I actually tried out the shampoo and shower gel, my opinion was swayed a little and I can see the benefits of trying out new products that are actually indulgent. I think I will give Birchbox a few months to see whether they are worth the money or not.
Keep an eye out for the follow-up review of the Mermaid Vibes Box.

Stereo Bluetooth headphones are still a rarity compared with wireless single-ear headsets, but the
I was excited then to learn that LG had partnered up with JBL to bring out a step-up model, the Tone Ultra HBS-800, which offers "JBL's signature sound," active noise-canceling technology, and Google Voice Actions Integration to the feature set found in the HBS-730. The design has also been modified for the better.
That's all well and good -- and the Tone Ultra HBS-800 is a mostly very good product. The only problem is it lists for $130 and, at least at launch, is selling for close to that online. That's more than double what the still-available HBS-730 costs, and while the HBS-800's sound and design are better, for some people those improvements may not be significant enough to justify spending the extra dough. It also doesn't help that it's hard to tell whether the noise-canceling actually does anything.
Design and features
I've always liked the design of LG's Tone headsets. The neckband wraps around your neck loosely, with the the controls resting near the start of your clavicles, and it's light enough that you don't really notice it's there after a while. When you're not using the earbuds, you store them in the tips of the neckband (the earbuds adhere magnetically to the neckband).
In moving from the Tone to Tone +, LG only made very minor changes to the design. But with the Tone Ultra, it definitely listened to some of the complaints that users had. For instance, a lot of people didn't like how bright the blue light was that let you know the device was paired wirelessly with your device (it pulsated). In this model, that light is now a tiny LED and it's been moved to the inside edge of the neckband so it's less visible.
The neckband itself also has a little curve to it, which doesn't make much of a difference, but the headset rests slightly better on top of your shoulders. More importantly, both the headphone cords and the clips that attach the cords to the neckband have been thickened up, which keeps the cords from detaching and makes them more tangle-resistant.
Last but not least, the designers also changed the shape of some of the most used buttons, so you can more easily operate them by feel. For example, the call answer/end button is shaped like a phone, not a circle.
LG Tone Ultra Bluetooth Stereo Headset (pictures)See all photos
Like typical in-ear headphones, these come with a few different sized eartips. To maximize bass response, you'll want to pick the size that gets you the tightest seal (I tend to go with large tips but in the case of the HBS-800, I found I was able to jam the medium-size tips better into my ear canal).
It's worth noting that the plastic driver housings appear to be slightly larger on this model. It's also worth mentioning that despite the higher price tag, the HBS-800's build quality, aside from the aforementioned thicker cords and fasteners, isn't any swankier or sturdier than the step-down models.
Once I established a pairing with my iPhone 5S (I also tried it with a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Google Moto X), I fiddled around with the controls, which are generally well-placed and, as I said, can be operated by feel. You have volume control on the left edge of the headband and a call answer/end button (as well voice control) on the top left. The right edge is where you'll find the track skip/forward back controls and the right top has pause and play buttons.

Questions? 1-844-864-0634
If you've been on multiple job interviews, you've probably heard the old adage - or seen firsthand - that it's not just what you say or how you say it. In addition, hiring managers and others at the company are likely to pick up on non-verbal cues in your body language, and these can make or break your opportunity to get the job you want.
With that in mind, below are seven ways your body language can improve any job interview:
1) Sit up straight
Slouching is one of the biggest indicators that you're not confident or comfortable, and is often seen as the biggest no-no in the body language department, according to Mashable. That may be especially true at a job interview. As a general rule, then, it's a good idea to sit with your feet flat on the ground and your back or shoulders touching the chair as much as possible.
2) Make the right amount of eye contact
Eye contact is vital to most human interactions and too much or too little can be off-putting for a hiring manager, Mashable added. When either one of you is talking, it's important to make eye contact every few seconds, but holding a person's gaze too long, or never meeting it at all, is not a good idea.
3) Keep your hands moving
If you sit with your hands in your lap or otherwise aren't gesturing too much, some hiring managers may not get as much out of your interview, Mashable further advised. Experts recommend using your hands to gesture when making a point, but not to do things like shuffle papers, click a pen and so on.
4) Don't cross your legs
While it may be more comfortable or natural to you to cross your legs during the interview, it often comes across as being too casual, according to The Balance Careers. As mentioned above, you should sit with your feet flat on the ground, not only because it looks better, but also because it shows you're confident without saying you have an overly relaxed attitude.
5) Don't fidget
Many people have a tendency to crack their knuckles, shake their leg, bite their nails and so on when they're in a nervous situation, The Balance Careers noted. And while job interviews understandably produce a lot of nerves, you're better off consciously avoiding those habits so you continue to project confidence.
6) Just smile and nod
When another person in the interview room is talking, it's important that they think you're picking up on what they're saying, according to Monster. Smiling and nodding along with them is therefore a good idea, and so too is mixing in the occasional, "Yes," or "Of course," so you seem more engaged in the conversation.
7) Get up and leave well
Finally, when an interview is over, it's a good idea to stand, shake hands with the person (or people) you interviewed with, make eye contact once again, and thank them for their time, Monster suggested. If you brought any items into the room with you, like a purse or briefcase, pick them up as you walk out the door with your shoulders back and your head held high.
Thank you for contacting us. We will reach out to you within the next 24 hours.

I-Musica Talks to Author Oliver Sands
Oliver Sands is the pseudonym for the author of the legal thrillers, The Kappa File and The Mumba Peition. He has a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Miami, school of law and we thank him for taking the time to answer some of our question. Visit Oliver's Amazon author page to learn more about his writing.
1. Regarding the Kappa File, What made you choose Miami-Dade County as the setting for the book?
I wanted a setting that had some similarity with other locales. Whether you live in New York City, Paris, Los Angeles, or London, Miami-Dade County has some resemblance to your city. Miami has colorful communities, warm weather, nutcases, nice people, traffic jams, diversity, and {to help|to assist} my plot development, there is always a murder here or there from time to time. Also, I did live and practice law there, Therefore, I am very familiar with the city.
2. What are some of the challenges that you face as a lawyer writing a fictional book regarding a legal case? Do you use the cases that you worked on to develop the plot and the scenes in your book?
Luckily, I never had a killer chasing me and attempting to stop me from discovering the content of a file. In The Kappa File, the protagonist handles government contract litigation. It's true that I relied on a few of the cases that I have handled in the past to help me decide the area of practice of the main character. My challenge is not dissimilar to any other author's challenge in that that I had write a story that is both riveting and original, while at the same time I am trying to improve on my craft.
3. As an author, what other writers do you get inspiration from?
Some of the authors that I like are Alan Topol, Sandra Brown, Harlan Coben, and Robert Ludlum. One of my favorite book is a novel by Christopher Reich called Numbered Account.
4. What are some techniques that you use when writing a legal thriller to ensure that the book moves at at quick pace?
Even though it is cliché, it's true that dialogue and conflict keep the plot moving. For this reason I like Sandra Brown. She tends to use a lot of dialogue and conflict in her books to hold the reader's attention and keep the story moving. I just read one of her books where the whole plot centers around interactions between customers at a gas station. It takes great skill to write a book like that.
5. You've done some clever promotion for your book, like creating a website about the fictional law firm in your novel. How did you come up with this idea and what have the responses been from your readers?
I wanted to do something different besides simply doing what other others are doing. Therefore, when I had the idea to create a website to bring the characters to life, I thought I was being very creative. However, while taking a course on entertainment law, I learned that the movie studios routinely promote their products that way. As for the readers, I am still trying to determine how effective the campaign was and whether that was what led them to buy the book.

Wall Street bonuses are Robin Hood in reverse -- but one Robin Hood approves
We all know that Wall Street's bad bets nearly brought the financial system to its knees last year. Then U.S. taxpayers footed the bill to bail out Wall Street -- taking on obligations potentially as high as $23.7 trillion, leading to a $1.4 trillion federal deficit, and $12 trillion in national debt. To me that's a kind of reverse-Robin-Hood action. Ironically, a New York City charity called the Robin Hood Foundation, which says it supports 200 poverty-fighting programs, is celebrating Wall Street's expected $140 billion 2009 bonus windfall.
The head of Robin Hood's response to the upcoming record Wall Street bonuses is "Hell yeah!" reports Bloomberg News. The reason for David Saltzman's enthusiasm is that Robin Hood claims it gets more than half of its annual $150 million in donations from the employees of investment banks, brokerage firms and hedge funds.
That is nice for the egos of the Wall Street denizens who attend the Robin Hood fundraisers, where they publicly signal their relative net worth as they bid in live auctions in front of their peers. But Wall Street has contributed plenty of pain to the average American -- 401(k) investors have watched the S&P 500 lose 22% of its value in the last decade and 15.1 million Americans are unemployed.As Thanksgiving approaches, there may be some who can be forgiven for thinking that it would have been better if America had not stolen from the poor to give to the rich -- even if a 0.054% sliver of that $140 billion in bonuses ends up back in the hands of Robin Hood's charity recipients.

I did not know what to expect when I started watching the film Drive earlier this week. The only things I really knew about the film was that Ryan Gosling was a driver in it, that Albert Brooks got nominated as a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor for it and that a number of my friends had told me how good the film was. Those of you who recommended this film to me, you were absolutely correct. Complete with some brilliant performances and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, Drive grabbed my attention in the first five minutes and didn't let go until the film was over.
In the most basic terms, Drive is about a young man aptly referred to as Driver (Ryan Gosling) who spends literally all of his free time around cars. During the day he works as a stunt driver for the movies as well as working at a garage owned by his mentor, Shannon (Bryan Cranston). By night Driver works as a getaway driver for anybody that requires his services for whatever purpose. Shannon, who sets up all of Driver's jobs be they legal or illegal, believes that Driver has the potential to be the best racecar driver of all time. Trusting his instinct, Shannon enlists the services (and money) of Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks) to acquire a decent car to fix up. Bernie agrees and the deal is made. Meanwhile, Driver meets his neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her son and the two start seeing each other. When Irene's husband unexpectedly is released from jail and returns home, Driver begins back off until it becomes clear that though he is out of jail Standard (Oscar Issac) is not out of trouble. Owing money to a powerful man, Irene's family is threatened until Driver offers to drive Standard on a job that would allow him to pay back the money. All hell breaks loose on the job and Driver ends up with a million dollars that isn't his. When he finds out the money is Nino's (Ron Perlman), Bernie's partner, Driver goes up against them both in hopes of saving himself, Irene and Irene's son but only leaves a trail of blood and destruction in his wake.
Though there was no bad performance in the film, two stood out above the rest. The first was Bryan Cranston as the sad but lovable Shannon. Generally with the best of intentions at heart, Shannon dreams big, always look for the next way to make money. He trusts his instincts, which unfortunately always led him to a heap of bad luck. Cranston plays the part perfectly, making the audience love his character and feel incredibly guilty for him throughout the film. Cranston's performance was great but if you see this movie for only one reason, make it Albert Brooks. Brooks does not step foot on screen without completely commanding the camera. Tearing through each scene with an intensity and fierceness that befits his character, Brooks plays the insanely violent and powerful Bernie Rose with enough skill to earn him the 2012 Supporting Actor nom and maybe even to deserve the win.
There was no aspect of Drive that didn't impress me, including the camera work and the music. The camera was very important to the state of Driver's mind. A cool, collected person, especially behind the wheel, Driver rarely loses his cool, panics or shows much emotion at all. The camera emulates this behavior, moving smoothly through scenes and following Gosling without using quick or choppy cuts. The camera stays as calm as Gosling does. As the film progresses and Gosling begins to lose his calm demeanor, the camera follows his move, losing its fluidity to become increasingly distressed.
When you are next flipping through you Netflix Instant Queue, Drive is certainly a good film to land on. There is no weak part in the film, directing, acting or writing. Even the music fits perfectly, bringing an odd sense of beauty to the film and tying it together. I give this film a 7.5 out 10 (many of those points coming from Albert Brooks' performance). Though it can be quite violent at times, this film is worth watching.

First a river of mud slid into their homes, and now Oakland Hills homeowners don't know when the city will be able to dig them out of the mess they're in.
This amid concerns that more rain – forecast in the coming days – could restart the river still pressing against the doors and windows of five homes in the Montclair neighborhood – four of which have been red-tagged.
"Our concern is that the mud will get into our house," said Frank Stone.
Balancing on a narrow concrete ledge above more than two feet of mud bowing his home's sliding glass doors, Stone recalled: "This huge ball of mud came pouring down."
But three days after the Stone family's home and three more on Banning Drive were deemed too dangerous to occupy, neither Frank nor his wife Barbara has any idea when or how this will be resolved.
"We really need someone to move that mud," Barbara Stone said. "It's not raining anymore."
What's more is that they're not sure who's going to pay for it.
"First we thought, 'Good, we have insurance,' but insurance says they don't cover this, and that's pretty stunning," Barbara Stone said.
A spokesman for the city's Public Works Department said engineers were in the area today, but gave no indication when work may begin.
"I can't confirm a timeline for you, but I can say the last thing you want to do in a safety situation is rush it," Sean Maher said. "We do recognize this is an urgent issue for this community."
The Stone's don't even know when their red-tagged home will be re-evaluated. Until then, they're doing something they haven't done in 40-years.
"We're couch-surfing with friends at this point," Barbara Stone said.

Superintendent: Los Angeles Unified improves English learner outcomes
Education Week
English learners in Los Angeles Unified posted important academic gains in 2012-2013 that Superintendent John Deasy said point to an upward trajectory for a huge group of students that have had a history of languishing in the nation's second largest school system. In a recent memo written to staff members that was published at LA School Report, Deasy wrote that the district's English learners increased their proficiency rates on one of the district's English/language arts periodic assessments at a faster clip than all students. As a group, elementary ELLs posted a 13-point gain in ELA proficiency rates, up to 38 percent this year over 25 percent last year, according to the memo.

Education reform bills pour out of Congress
The Hill
Members of the House and Senate introduced several education-related bills, including a Senate proposal to reauthorize and amend the No Child Left Behind Act. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who sponsored that bill with other Democrats, said the goal of the bill is to codify some of the flexibilities that the Department of Education has given to states as they try to meet NCLB standards. "We ask for a system of shared responsibility with States and school districts," Harkin said of his bill, S. 1094. "I believe that we are entering an era in which the federal government can work in partnership with States to improve our nation's schools, while continuing to provide a backstop to avoid returning to old ways."

US senator delivers remarks in Spanish on immigration bill
Education Week
Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat who favors the bipartisan immigration reform bill, gave a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate earlier today entirely in Spanish. In voicing his support for the comprehensive immigration reform bill crafted by a bipartisan group of senators, Kaine, a former governor of Virginia, probably made history by being the first senator in recent times to deliver an entire speech in a language other than English on the Senate floor, according to The Washington Post.

Using sentence frames, sentence starters and signal words to improve language
By Erick Herrmann
For students to be college- and career-ready, they must gain academic language proficiency. Academic language is much more than just the vocabulary of the subject area being taught. To help students at all language proficiency levels incorporate higher levels of academic language into their speech and writing, teachers can incorporate the use of sentence frames, sentence starters and signal words with students at a variety of proficiency levels.

Are schools getting tongue-tied?
District Administration Magazine
English as a second language programs have historically focused on Spanish-speaking students, but the ESL map is undergoing a dramatic transformation that is challenging K12 schools to cope with a burgeoning number of different native languages — more than 100 in some locations — as new immigrants arrive in districts across the country.

Hispanics now majority in Texas public schools, districts assess if they are ready for change
The Huffington Post
Latinos are now the largest ethnic group in Texas public schools, surpassing non-Hispanic whites in Lone Star State enrollment for the first time in history. The dramatic change, though, has not been without major pressures on the already financially stressed school systems throughout the state, which ranks 48th in per-student spending. Many of those Latino students are from poor families — including recent immigrants — with major repercussions in classrooms.

Governors, state education chiefs discuss improving child literacy
The Washington Post
Governors and education chiefs from nine states said Tuesday that a focus on early-childhood education, the changing dynamic of families and supporting low-income students could help improve literacy across the country. Discussing the nation's literacy crisis at a Washington Post policy forum in the District, the panel of political and education leaders said states need to do more to help children learn to read by the third grade, a key educational milestone at which children shift to "reading to learn." Those who can't read proficiently by third grade are more likely to struggle in later grades.

Report: Florida's Hispanic students graduate at greatest rate in country
The Miami Herald
Florida schools are graduating far more students than they did a decade ago, and the state's Hispanic students earn diplomas at the greatest clip in the nation, according to a national study released. The latest version of Diplomas Count, an annual review of the country's graduation rates and trends by Education Week magazine, shows that 72.9 percent of Florida's students graduate high school with a diploma compared to 49.9 percent 10 years earlier. The increase was the second greatest in the nation.

The artist's resale right
The Artist's Resale Right (ARR) entitles creators ('authors') of original works of art (including paintings, engravings, sculpture and ceramics) to a royalty each time one of their works is resold through an auction house or art market professional.
The right to this royalty lasts for the same period as copyright, so since January 2012 ARR has applied to qualifying works by artists who have been dead for less than 70 years.
Some sales are exempt. For example, where the work being resold was bought directly from the artist less than three years previously and it is being resold for €10,000 or less. This is generally known as the 'bought as stock exception'.
Calculation of royalties
ARR derives from a European Directive and came into force in the UK in 2006. The right only applies when the sale price reaches or exceeds the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and is calculated on a sliding scale.
Royalty Resale price
4% up to €50,000
3% between €50,000.01 and €200,00
1% between €200,000.01 and €350,000
0.5% between €350,000.01 and €500,000
0.25% in excess of €500,000
Royalties are also capped so that the total amount of the royalty paid for any single sale of a work cannot exceed €12,500.
ARR is exempt of VAT.

Outside camera
Before this Forum was created there was a question asked and I do not think there was ever an official answer.
I have my "outside" camera mounted on the eve of my house. It faces one of my doors. But anyway, I made that statement in that forum, and one other person spoke up, and stated his installer did not recommend putting the camera in the "Elements", that it should have a box around it.
When my installed did the install, It was snowing. and I live in NEO, he never stated anything about NOT putting it in the "elements"
So, MY question, "Is the 'outside' camera really an outside camera, or should it be put in a box?
Anyone know?
Best Answer
As long as you keep rain and sun off them, they'll work well outdoors.
I have some mounted on trees, went thru a couple before I found some that had good seals, others are under eaves.
You can get camera power extension cables. Provided they use the inverted coax small pin connector0
They need to be protected a little, like under an overhang.
Problem we have is with spiders and moths at night, attracted to the internal IR light and tripping off any video motion detector.0
The large "bullet" camera's with internal IR always end up with moisture inside when it rains and the temp drops, Fog up on the inside because a vacuum is created when temp drops. The small cigar ones don't have an issue, just the large internal IR illuminator ones. Those need ventilation, the IR boards overheat and burn up.
Only solution I've found is remove the internal IR or use the non IR camera's with an external IR illuminator. That also attracts the bugs to the IR and not the camera so we don't get bugs crawling all over them at night.
You can't put internal IR camera's in an enclosure because the front glass reflects IR back into the camera.
Same holds true with aiming out thru a window especially the thermal ones which have IR coatings.
They work in the daytime but not at night0
but they are under warranty thru TWC for 18 months, (length of contract) who cares, they can come out every month and replace my outside camera.
I had mine sence 1/19, on the eve, at -10*F, Wind, snow, Rain, and so far no problems.
But like I said, 18 month contract, Lets see how many they have to replace.
I can always say, "The installer knew what the weather was here, and should have suggested not to install where it is."0
I doubt the installer has been doing CCTV & security for 45 years....-0
and you are a :
installer has been doing CCTV & security for 45 years ???
If they call it an outside camera. then it shoudl be water/wind/snow/freezing temp resistant.
MY unsterdanding, is if ANYTHNG fails within the 18 month contract, they will replace/repair it free of charge to me.
Well, You can bet if it don't work, it will be getting replaced/repaired.
I allready had one Key Fob replaced.0
Uhh, yes. "back in the day" maintained tube camera's, some in heated outdoor enclosures with thermostatic fans and windshield wipers... weighed 30-50# with the pan, tilt zoom and nightime image intensifier lenses.
Stuff fails, It's why people have service contracts and that gear needs to be installed properly to avoid repeat calls. Virtually no equipment is made to last more than 5 years and most is non repairable. Some of the gear from china holds up, others fail the first 100 degree sunny day that ends in a downpour, vacuum sucks water inside. Major failure is moisture getting sucked in, fogging the lense and the IR leds burning out because they're pushed to max and there's no ventillation.
A black anodized camera on the south side of a building doesn't last long. I've seen some that burned/ oxidized off the black coating in a single summer.0

My installer told me point blank: "Do not install the "outdoor" camera outside here in Wisconsin. It'll have a lot of problems".
He put both the "indoor" and "outdoor" camera indoors. I kinda wanted it installed outside facing my driveway, but instead have a great view of the kitchen..
Are there any indoor cameras campatible with TWC IH that are PoE compatible? The power cords on these things are just too friggin short! My granddaughter comes over and rips the antennas off of them as quick as I can put them on.
I want both cameras hanging high. Any ideas how to do that?1

Red Hat blog
Blog menu
Red Hat's flagship open source operating platform Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been recognized by recent industry awards for a variety of attributes, including its integrated virtualization technology, energy efficiency and Linux leadership.
In February, the decades-running Datamation 2009 Product of the Year Awards recognized Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the Product of the Year in the "Enterprise Linux" category. Nominations were submitted in a variety of category areas, and Datamation readers, "a diverse group of IT professionals with firsthand knowledge of these products, most of whom use these products everyday on the job," then voted online for their favorite picks.
According to the article,
Red Hat clearly holds top dog status in the enterprise Linux category, as this vote reflects. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 handily bested finalists Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and Ubuntu Server Edition.
This marks the second consecutive year that Red Hat Enterprise Linux has ranked at the top in Datamation's product awards – last year, it grabbed the top spot in the same "Enterprise Linux" category, also beating out Novell and Ubuntu. Datamation readers have spoken. Twice.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux writeup in this year's awards article also noted the latest virtualization features included in the open source platform,
As a sign of the times, note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 offers improved virtualization support for larger system configurations. This virtualization push will become increasingly important in the years ahead, and should give Red Hat's Linux product some muscle against competitive virtualization solutions from VMware and Microsoft.
And, while we're talking about virtualization, check out some other recent awards that Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and other Red Hat solutions, won at the SYS-CON Virtualization Conference & Expo Show Awards in January:
- Best Overall Virtualization Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform
- Best Server Virtualization Solution: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform
- Best VDI: Solid ICE
- Best Greener IT Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Just recently in February 2009, Red Hat announced its virtualization strategy and roadmap for 2009, outlining plans to deliver a complete set of virtualization solutions based on Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). You can watch our webcast on the news too.
Just prior to that, we announced agreements with Microsoft to advance server virtualization interoperability with reciprocal certifications for our virtualization platforms. We webcasted the news with Microsoft, and the broadcast is available for replay here.

Affordable Pocket Recorder with Advanced Features
The compact R-05 is easy to use, affordable, and packed with big-ticket features that raise the bar in its price class. Experience crystal-clear 24/96 capture, enhanced recording and editing features, and extended battery life (over 16 hours per charge). On stage, in rehearsal, at school, on the street, in the boardroom - whenever inspiration strikes, let the R-05 capture the moment with convenience and quality.
24/96 Recording
The R-05 provides pristine, uncompressed stereo recording directly to SD card - up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. Whether recording directly with the built-in stereo mic or capturing sounds from an externally connected microphone or stereo line input, you'll be impressed with the R-05's detail and clarity. And for worry-free recording, the convenient Rehearsal mode ensures that you won?t overload the input.
Onboard Editing
Even though the R-05 integrates fluidly with computers via USB 2.0, this new-generation recorder doesn't require a PC for editing. For speed and convenience, you can trim, divide, and combine within the R-05. And for those who?d like to apply a high-gloss finish to their recordings, the R-05 is equipped with built-in reverb.
Rehearsal Mode
In a rehearsal studio, you can make clear recordings of your band, even at high volume levels. The R-05 can automatically set the optimum recording level, and can split the songs for you automatically. It?s also possible to simultaneously record a high-quality WAV file for CD production and an MP3 file for file sharing.
Music-Practice Partner
The R-05 can help you practice your instrument or vocals. You can repeatedly loop a specified region of audio, or change the playback speed without changing the pitch. You can play back a difficult phrase slowly or play back at high speed to grasp the overall structure of a song in a short time.
For Non-Musicians Too!
Musicians will naturally gravitate to the R-05, but this portable recorder is great for many non-musical applications as well. Record lectures, speeches, and meetings, for example. The high-sensitivity, built-in microphone will clearly capture all of the voices in a room. The included windscreen and tripod mount enhance optimal placement and cleaner recordings as well.

A question without an answer.
I like the car sitting in the carport saying people live here
I like the memories of happier times the car calls to mind when I see it there
I like the feel of independence, I could go when, where and if I wanted to. I don't.
I like the attention the old care gets in the grocery parking lot from old men who like old cars. How old is it?-32 years. How many miles on it?-Not many, never drove out of Tucson. Would you sell it?-NEVER
I do not like to drive
I do not like the traffic. Cars go by too close, too fast.
I panic in an unfamiliar area
I worry the car will break down.
I hate putting in gas.
I'm uncomfortable wondering, thinking I should not drive.
My eye doctor says legally you're fine. Stay off the freeway-I do. Never drive at night-I don't.
My brain worries-shall I drive?

Unit style molecular models with 45mm diameter atoms. Really BIG models visible in large Lecture Halls.
Unit style molecular models are our most versatile. They can be used for organic/inorganic, VSEPR, point group or lattice structures. Unit atoms are 45mm diameter & make giant models visible at the back of large lecture halls.
Unit atoms were designed for crystal lattice and are configurable for 1-6, 8 & 12 coordinate geometries.
The Unit system is unique in that any atom can take on any geometry. Below are just a few of the ways the atoms & pegs can be combined.
Unit Peg Placements & Atom Geometries
Examples of Where Used
Polar Pegs (On Right)
Radial Pegs (Middle)
Angled Pegs (On Left)
Left Column: Tetrahedral with 4 angled (4/8 )
Centre Column: Tri-Bi with 3 radial, 2 polar
Right Column: Octahedral w/ 4 radial, 2 polar
Any Unit atom can show univalence using 1 of the 3 different pegs. Combinations of these 3 pegs can produce any geometry from divalent to trigonal up to octahedral.
Watch the video below to see how easy it is to make any molecular geometry from any Unit atom.
Univalent Atoms
Divalent Atoms
Trigonal/Trigonal Bipyramidal Atoms
Tetrahedral/Trigonal Pyramidal Atoms

I don't do much alone. On the odd occasion that I eat breakfast, it's with my mom. Lunch is probably with my dad and dinner is a feast with the whole family. I'm still a 'learner' driver, which requires a licensed passenger beside me in the car, so even when I'm driving I'm not alone. I wasn't even in the womb alone. Somehow, I still came out a some-what independent person, however, in saying that, companionship (in fur or flesh) is definitely preferable.
I'm currently staying in a shoe-box. I'm used to open space, large gardens and a good distance between myself and my neighbour in the Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western boundaries which I acknowledge is a privilege enjoyed by few. The student accommodation which my sister has kindly made to be 'home' is by all means livable yet simultaneously discombobulating. A trip to her university workshop (and the fumbling of a pressure pump) resulted in an over-blown mattress which I have the privilege of calling my bed...or 'slippy slide' for the next two weeks. Its taken some getting used to; sharing a toilet with 3 people is one thing...sharing a toilet with 8 others with varying needs and preferences when it comes to hygiene (or lack thereof) is another. I am very grateful to have a roof over my head and food on the table with several running taps- things again afforded to few- however, I still feel out of place.
Present Day Steph
Once again, I'm alone. Comforted and accompanied by the 'clicks' my fingers make when meeting with the letters beneath them. Looking back on the last three weeks, I am fulfilled and content. I like to stay within my perimeters, and now and again dip my big toe into the unknown- but I don't go beyond that. On my recent trip to London, I dunked my whole leg into the unknown and dived in head-first straight after. I took trains and buses alone. I passed airport security and boarding, a new feat to conquer as a 'one man wobbling band' at Heathrow and again in Frankfurt, all on my lonesome.
I meandered through a whole city, tremulous and terrified at times and lazily ambling along at others but I made it. I'm now back in the comfort of my room snuggled up with Kitty, my trusty ginger companion. I am now left to reflect with unbounded pride at all I accomplished. Alone.

Just as mysteriously as it began, Chevrolet has removed the production hold it had placed on the 2012 Camaro ZL1. For those keeping track, the delay has lasted roughly three weeks, and we still don't know what the "quality assessment issue" was.
According to Motor Authority, a letter has been sent to those who have placed orders on Chevy's hottest muscle car, letting them know when they can expect their machines to arrive at the dealership.
Cars that had already been produced and had been held back from the waiting garages of buyers will begin trickling to owners in two to three weeks, while orders placed but not yet built will take a little longer. That said, Camaro ZL1 models built in the foreseeable future will very likely continue on with a 2012 model-year designation before the Oshawa plant switches production to the 2013 cars. Just how many 2012 ZL1s will be built remains to b seen.
We also can't help but mention the newly announced Camaro 1LE, which gets some of the track-ready features of the ZL1 with a 426-horsepower V8 in place of the killer 580-horse supercharged engine, along with what's sure to be a much lighter price tag. With choices like these, we'd say it's a good time to be shopping for a Camaro.

About Scott Cleland
You are here
Google's Biggest Customers Oppose Goohoo Ad Pact!
Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2008-09-08 13:26
Google, you have a problem. The verdict of your biggest customers is in -- and you've been found guilty of not pursuing your clients' best interests.
I have two big takeaways for you:
First Takeaway: Google clearly doesn't subscribe to the old adage -- the customer is always right. Google knows best and isn't afraid to tell most of its biggest customers they are wrong -- in public.
Rather than publicly respond to the anticipated ANA letter with respectful comments about how Google looks forward to better explaining how the ad pact will benefit Google's customers, Google essentially wagged their finger at their customers in public telling them they don't know what's best for themselves.
Listen to the tone of Google spokesman Adam Kovacevich's response to the letter per Reuters and judge for yourself:
Second Takeaway: Conventional wisdom that the Google-Yahoo partnership will pass DOJ muster is based on a false process assumption -- that this DOJ investigation is essentially like the common merger review process where most mergers are approved and where this DOJ has a reputation of being merger-friendly.
The process at play here is described in a DOJ antitrust primer called: "Price Fixing & Bid Rigging -- They Happen: What they are and what to look for."
Listen to what the DOJ says in this primer:
Also listen to what DOJ Antitrust Division Chief Thomas Barnett said in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on September 25, 2007:
Conventional wisdom assumes it understands this process -- it doesn't -- it is assuming the wrong process.
Bottom line: The critical fact that responsible representatives of a majority of Google's largest customers oppose the Google-Yahoo ad pact, make it more likely than not that the DOJ will oppose the Google-Yahoo partnership as proposed.

Placemaking has been a hot term over the last several years, as people move back to cities around the country. This shift in population has led to increased demand for more usable streets, parks, buildings, public spaces, and neighborhoods. After decades of disinvestment in many urban areas, artists, architects, city planners, and community activists are finding creative ways to transform cities.
And there have been some truly awe-inspiring and revolutionary projects in recent years that have had profound impacts on their respective cities. From massive permanent transformations like turning Times Square into a public plaza to temporary guerilla tactics like Park(ing) Day, from international examples like Hong Kong's waterfront park to local examples like Big Car's SPARK project on Monument Circle, we are truly in the golden age of placemaking.
Because of its increase in prevalence and popularity, it has also become a misunderstood term. Too often, placemaking is limited to a perception of superficial beautification. While beautification is important to making a great place, placemaking projects run the risk of underinvestment and under-appreciation by not properly communicating its full and deep impact.
For us, placemaking is about engaging our neighbors to understand what the needs of the community truly are. If a splash pad is not going to be an asset or solve a community's problems, what's the point of building a splash pad? (Let's be honest: splash pads are pretty much always a good idea. But, you get the idea.) This engagement is key to building truly great places that generate community vitality for all. It also gives us a chance to involve a place's great asset: its people.
NEAR has always always been focused on placemaking. It's at the core of our mission: developing community as we create places for neighbors. Developing community is really about building connections—connections between neighbors and to neighborhoods. This manifests itself in a number of ways, and our goal in 2018 is to bring that to the forefront and redefine (or at least broaden) the term and its perceptions.
Placemaking is the Educators' Village: our project to retain our city's best teachers and embed them in the community in which they work.Partial map of the Educators' Village
Placemaking is intentionally bringing the youngest and eldest members of our community together at the Minnie Hartmann Center: our adaptive reuse project that combines senior housing with a daycare.
And yes, placemaking is about beautification. Beautification that has deep impacts. Like our IndyEast Art Peace project in partnership with the Arts Council of Indianapolis and IMPD. This project convenes artists and police officers to create place-based art along Rural Street that reduces crime and blight.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. From rehabbing historic structures to streetscaping projects along East 10th Street, we approach all of our projects with placemaking in mind. Want to learn more? Join us at our annual community luncheon on Thursday, April 26, at the Boner Fitness + Learning Center to learn about all our placemaking initiatives and the latest progress on the Near Eastside.

Yep, Michael Eisner's Talk Show Was A Flop
We said it first: even if Michael Eisner's talk show was okay, no one would be able to find it since it was airing every other week on CNBC, home of flop talk shows by non-talk show talent like Tina Brown and John McEnroe. But no one is going to have trouble finding the show because no one is going to be looking: Eisner's debut drew a miserable 95,000 viewers per Mediaweek. (Is that higher than C-SPAN?) Gee, hard to imagine someone who's never hosted a talk show and proven himself a prickly talk show guest, and someone who substitute-hosted a show and demonstrated he would do more talking than his guests didn't fly. I don't know who's stupider: the folks at CNBC for signing him onto a biweekly talk show (which is better than Brown's monthly series, I suppose) or Eisner for taking it. And Mediaweek is crazy to suggest he did an okay job interviewing Howard Stringer of Sony. Eisner barely let the guy get a word in edgewise.

It was one of my favorite installations for the solo art show. Address : Heron 19, San Francisco.
At the beginning it seemed impossible, we had cozy loft space with painted concrete walls (as you might know, nailing into concrete walls by hand is tough). So, the decision was to make new wall for art from the ropes attached to the industrial pipes on a ceiling . Process of installation took about 4 hours. Party was the hit! Art looked awesome!
I do need more events like that, let me know if you got a space , I will bring the party!)

Double Fine is hoping that lightning will strike twice on Kickstarter with a new campaign to raise money for a tactical strategy PC game known as Massive Chalice.
The developer, which raised $3.3 million last year for its Double Fine Adventure game, now wants to raise $725,000 for Massive Chalice. "If turn-based tactics and feudal fantasy had a lovechild, and that offspring founded a mighty century-spanning dynasty, it would be Massive Chalice," the company said on its Kickstarter page.
The game will be developed for Windows, Mac, and Linux by Double Fine with its in-house 3D Buddha Engine.
"We're inspired by classic tactical strategy games like X-COM, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Fire Emblem, as well as Game of Thrones' array of noble families," Double Fine said. "With these influences in mind we're creating an epic, replayable turn-based tactics game where you train generations of heroes to repel a demonic invasion."
Double Fine said that its first Kickstarter game, now known as Broken Age, is currently in full production. "But the Broken Age team only represents a third of our multi-game studio," Double Fine said. "Kickstarting Massive Chalice allows us to maintain a pure creative vision, put out updates on our own schedule, respond to feedback without roadblocks, and release it all DRM-free."
In terms of perks, those who contribute $20 get a game download, $50 gets early access and some behind-the-scenes art and music, $100 earns your name in the game, $150 comes with an exclusive t-shirt and poster, and $250 gets a signed poster. For $1,000 you get to play the game at Double Fine or over Skype with project lead Brad Muir, while $5,000 will allow you to brainstorm with the team during a Double Fine design, and $10,000 gets you an exclusive invite to Double Fine game night.
As of this writing, Massive Chalice has already earned more than $263,000 from about 7,200 backers, with 28 days to go.

Harvard Law School Makes Online Zero-L Course Free for All U.S. Law Schools Due to Coronavirus
For Kennedy School Fellows, Epstein-Linked Donors Present a Moral Dilemma
Tenants Grapple with High Rents and Local Turnover at Asana-Owned Properties
In April, Theft Surged as Cambridge Residents Stayed at Home
The History of Harvard's Commencement, Explained
When an experienced director of Shakespeare like Ron Daniels collaborates with the man who played Ivan Ooze in the movie version of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," something special is in the air. Daniels's innovative decisions and Paul Freeman's excellent, traditional performance as Prospero add up to a production of "The Tempest" that is unique and elegant.
Daniels successfully conveys the wonder and strangeness of the "brave new world" so crucial to any production of "The Tempest." He does this by appealing to his contemporary audience's idea of the exotic, as well as to a modern conception of "the other." In the middle of the scenery sits an imposing but unidentified concrete structure. The magician Prospero is dressed not like a sorcerer but instead as an African medicine man. And the music incorporates elements of rap and opera. "Ultimately," says Daniels, "I want to see how one comes to understand the experience of 'the other.'" He does this in part by setting Prospero's experience in such an unfamiliar environment.
Designed by John Conklin, the stage consists of a large, off-white, semicircular structure in the middle of a desolate landscape. The structure, which looks like a huge, broken astronomical instrument, looks both beautiful and out of place on the desert island. This fantastic stage, which contrasts with the brief, dramatic storm scene that opens the play, is where the bulk of the action takes place.
The character of Caliban (Jack Willis) also goes against convention. Instead of a quick-tempered, bestial brute, Daniels casts Caliban as a calm, wry cynic. He thus lends a shrewd, cynical edge to lines usually spoken in anger or resentment: "You taught me language; and my profit on't is, I know how to curse; the red plague rid you for learning me your language!"
The music of composer and sound designer Bruce Odland brings the songs of the spirit Ariel (Benjamin Evett) to life. Evett's great falsetto and mysterious vibrato make the songs sound magical and strange. Yet his conch shell allows for diversity: Ariel does everything from a rap segment-using the conch as percussion-to a call in which he speaks through the amplifying and distorting shell.
Costume designer Gabriel Berry also combines the mysterious with the familiar by juxtaposing the Milanese court's clothing, based on the clothing of seventeenth-century European aristocrats, with Prospero's shaman costume. Ariel and Caliban, dressed and body-painted like native islanders, also contrast effectively with the conservatively outfitted Milanese. The butler Stephano (Charles Levin) and the jester Trinculo (Thomas Derrah) who boast more colorful costumes, go through several changes-including some cross-dressing-after they discover a glistering wardrobe.
At the heart of Daniels' modern interpretation lie the play's masques, which originally incorporated images of the Roman goddesses Juno, Iris and Ceres. Daniels replaces Shakespeare's masques with new ones written and composed by Odland with the help of anthropologist David Guss. These masques, performed by Europe, Americas, and Africa, are intended to represent themes of nature and multiculturalism to a modern audience. Unfortunately, Daniels' masques replace a considerable chunk of the original text: but then again, Shakespeare's masques never got an audience to clap along.
Perhaps the greatest strength of this unconventional production of "The Tempest" is Freeman's strong conventional performance. Prospero is a magician exiled from his dukedom who seeks revenge. When the men who betrayed him are near the shore of his island, he sends a storm to wreck their ship and bring them all onto the shore. As he plans revenge, oversees the engagement of his daughter Miranda (Jessalyn Gilsig) to Prince Ferdinand of Naples (Scott Ripley) and foils Caliban's plot against his life, Freeman evokes every doubt, conviction and emotion Prospero experiences. He is temperamental and harsh with his spirit-servant Ariel, kind but strict toward Caliban and a little amazed by his own decision to forgive his betrayers and give up his powers. In the midst of the fantastic world created by Daniels, Freeman's Prospero gives the play a familiar and human center. Both his controlled performance and the dazzling monologues in which he faces the audience in wonder endear Prospero's character to the audience.
"Prospero's journey," as Daniels puts it, "is very much [about] what is both lost and gained in exile." The mystery and magic of the production's visual and aural effects create this feeling of exile. But for many people Prospero's renunciation of his magic represents Shakespeare giving up writing in this his final play. Paul Freeman evokes this idea in a powerful performance of Prospero's monologues: After recalling with both enthusiasm and nostalgia what his "so potent art" had once done, he says regretfully. "But this rough magic I here abjure."
As with any play, new interpretations of "The Tempest" require not only intelligent, careful innovations, but also a good representation of both the characters and the plot. Not only does Daniels bring decades of experience with Shakespeare to his production, but the actors, especially Freeman, play their parts masterfully.

Seminars are free because the Ski-Doo dealers strongly believe in their value, and they are open to everyone, regardless of the brand of sled you operate. In most cases, this kind of seminar would cost the snowmobiler $50 or more to attend. A complete list of events can be found on the ski-doo.com website.
These seminars have been very popular with the mountain snowmobiling community, and are updated with new content this year. Taught by instructors with mountain riding backgrounds, the courses are geared to be engaging while furthering attendee's skills and knowledge.
The Canadian seminars are led by Jeremy Hanke, a recognized avalanche professional and member of the CAC advisory board. Jeremy is one of the creators of Throttle Decisions, an avalanche safety awareness video. He is an AS2 certified instructor.
Leading the classes in the United States is Mike Duffy of Avalanche 1, a recognized snowmobile expert in avalanche awareness. Mike teaches at Colorado Mountain College and Silverton Avalanche School, and has been giving snowmobile-specific avalanche classes since 1996. He holds American Avalanche Association Level I and II, along with Av-Pro Level III certification, and has 25 years of mountain riding and rescue experience.

Ronald Dworkin: The Moral Quest
Ronald Dworkin
Ronald Dworkin, who died on February 14 of this year, began to contribute to The New York Review of Books in 1968. His strong opinions and lucid prose helped to give the paper its distinctive tone, and he achieved through those writings on the law and politics of our time a level of public recognition and influence that is rare for a legal academic.
But much as he loved the public arena and the cultural limelight, he was fundamentally a theorist—originally a legal philosopher and then a moral and political philosopher whose interests expanded finally to include the theory of knowledge and the philosophy of religion. His theoretical development followed a personal path, and because he and I were friends and colleagues for many years, I saw much of it happen.
Ronnie and I were part of an unusually fortunate cohort of analytic philosophers and lawyers, formed in the 1960s, who were prepared to take moral questions seriously and who believed that both reasoning and intuition had a role in their resolution. Following the lead of John Rawls in the US and H.L.A. Hart in England, a group of younger scholars began to write about substantive moral, legal, and political questions, and to talk to each other regularly about their work in progress. We were also exercised by political and legal developments like the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and controversies over abortion and sexual freedom.
Ronnie was a brilliant member of this group. He left Yale in 1969 to become professor of jurisprudence at Oxford, but he visited the US regularly and in any case it was becoming a transatlantic conversation. A lot of important work in these fields appeared in the 1970s and 1980s, including two of Ronnie's most influential books, Taking Rights Seriously (1977) and Law's Empire (1986). By the time he began to split his time between Oxford and NYU Law School in 1987 and we began to teach together, he held a preeminent position as a philosopher of law. But his intellectual ambitions were much broader. As it turned out, he wanted to produce a modern version of Plato's Republic.
Ronnie presented his theoretical writings as they developed to the colloquium in law and philosophy that he and I conducted at NYU for twenty-five years. But mainly the colloquium was an occasion for intensive discussion with many of the people working in these fields, and for close critical attention to their work. We developed a format that almost always produced an illuminating discussion. A paper would be submitted in advance, to be read by all participants. On Thursday morning Ronnie and I would meet for an hour of preliminary dissection, and at noon the author would appear for two to three hours of questions and argument, continued over lunch.
We would then part to…

Earlier this week, Nick Jonas, 17, expressed his closest fears to this reporter.
He, and girlfriend Selena Gomez are extremely worried at this very stressful time of their relationship.
"We didn't mean for it to happen" Nick worryingly admitted to me, "Now we're in a life changing position. We can only hope that we will not be judged by the world. We're good people."
Gomez, also 17, did not host the same fear as her other half. "Nick is making a fuss over nothing. He is naive and has no clue about anything to do with this matter. He is constantly worrying about what will happen to us, and is embarrassed to admit the truth"
Of course I bet you are bursting with excitement to know what these two teen-stars are talking about! Well, here it is.
"We were sitting together at my friends birthday celebration meal, and I couldn't contain myself. I just had to do it. I lunged in for a hug with her, and now I really do think there may be a baby on the way." Nick told us. "I have a lot of love for God, and I do believe that he is watching over me and will not give me this curse. However, what happened is inevitably going to result in a baby Jonas."
Yes, you heard it from me first... Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez have finally consummated their love with a hug! Sounds as though there may just be a baby Jonas on the way, if Nick's description of where babies come from is anything to go by!

Telegenic and BT Sports allowed BRF to put the system through its paces at the Womens Super League match, Chelsea v Arsenal at the Kingsmeadow Stadium on Sunday 7th January 2018.
The UHD wireless camera system comprised of a Sony PMW-F55 which provided 4K UHD video, and controlled with the normal Sony camera control 'racking' system. The UHD RF system worked into the existing wireless camera infrastructure and operated exactly like a normal touchline camera.
"We have 28 HCAM HEVC wireless camera systems on order, and to see one operational in a live environment was brilliant this weekend. The UHD pictures in the truck looked fantastic, so good that at one point it even had a stint as an 18 yard camera which completely exceeded our expectations on its first outing," Chris Brandrick, Broadcast RF Commercial Director stated.
"We'd like to thank Telegenic and BT Sports for allowing us to test this, and look forward to another outing next weekend at Wembley for the Tottenham v Everton match live on BT Sports," Brandrick concluded.
Martyn Edwards, Telegenic OB Unit Manager for the match commented: "Having evaluated the UHD RF camera during our rig day, I had no hesitation in offering the UHD wireless camera output to the match director to be included in the live cut. Broadcast RFs impressive UHD wireless delivery with low latency that surpassed our expectancy. I look forward to using the UHD wireless system from Broadcast RF in the near future."
These UHD systems are now available to hire from Broadcast RF.
