I think it is a one of wonderful Japanese cultural food. At times, some foreign people like "Sushi," but other foreign people who ate it in China, Korea, or another countries except Japan say, "I ate Sushi, and the taste was not good. So I don't like it." I cannot understand that, because the sushi wasn't made from Japan, that was made from other countries. Recently, there are food like Sushi all over the world, maybe. But you must not forget that "Sushi" is Japanese cultural food, so I suggest that you should eat it in Japan. Not other countries. Another countries' sushi are never like Japan's. For example, appearance, material, and of course taste. I looked "Sushi" in Australia, I didn't eat, but the appearance wasn't like Japan's, and I was very surprised!!! So please eat it in Japan!!! Not only "Sushi," but also another Japanese food. It is likely to come to like those, if it eats them in Japan though there are people who don't like those. How about you?

By Cassandra Morris
Flinders University,
Master of Maritime Archaeology Candidate,
2011 Flinders University Archaeological Society (ArchSoc) Vice President
A student's life is full of research. This week classes at university began again, forcing me to an early wake up, hours spent looking for a carpark and then finally getting on to campus only to discover that the information you went to pick up and work on is not there.
This week I have been working on promoting a facebook page. "Take the Plunge – Protect Australia's Heritage" is a page created to promote the UNESCO 2001 Convention for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage and its ratification by the Australian Government. A group of students (including myself) developed this page as a way to promote this controversial topic to the public, as well as to students and professionals. On the site is a downloadable letter that can be sent to our Prime Minister Julia Gillard. The letter lists beneficial points of ratifying the Convention in addition to pointing out that nearly all of the WW2 wrecks off the coast and in other countries are not protected. So far this page has spread like wildfire, appearing on many museum, university, dive groups and interested parties pages that it can. It has also made its way via facebook overseas. On Friday 29th the page reached 100 'likes' and the letter viewed over 350 times! During the week we decided that we should take this opportunity to send letters to other members of parliament which are now in the writing stages. This page and its process are also being considered by another member of the group and myself for a poster, to be presented at the 2011 AIMA Conference.
Furthermore, my thesis for my Masters in Maritime Archaeology is in its research phase, and therefore, never far from my mind. Time spent making lists and reading previous theses and publications is not interesting to the outside observer. However, for my studies this past week's efforts have been fruitful, and, at the same time, rather mind boggling. Ahead of me I can look forward to shuffling my way through museum policies and exhibitions. On my to do list: many phone calls and many more emails.
One of the highlights of my week was stumbling across a rather amusing book in the University bookshop. "The Archaeologists Book of Quotations" by K. Kris Hirst gave me a good laugh just flicking through the pages. Pride of place at the beginning of the blurb is a quote from Kent V. Flannery, "Hell, I don't break the soil periodically to 'reaffirm my status'. I do it because archaeology is still the most fun you can have with your pants on". I think this sums up the feelings of most archaeologists, most likely due to all the time spent researching in libraries and at desks!

Canada's men's U-17 team won 3-2 over Morocco on the second match day of the six-team 2012 AGS Cup in Spain. Down to 10 men, Canada scored the winning goal midway through the second half to improve its record to one win and one draw. Canada's 3-2 win on September 30 was preceded by a 2-2 draw with Azerbaijan on September 29.
"We played some very good football in the first half," said Canadian U-17 coach Sean Fleming. "In the second half, we showed great character to overcome adversity and score with only 10 men."
Against Morocco, Canada's goalscorers were Jordan Hamilton, Hanson Boakai and Elias Roubos. Goalkeeper Daniel Milton was selected Canada's player of the match.
Canada will train on Monday before returning to action on Tuesday October 2. For its next three matches, Canada faces Mexico on Tuesday October 2, USA on Thursday October 4, and UAE on Saturday October 6.
This marks Fleming's second 2012 project with the 1996-born players. The team is in its early preparations for the 12-team 2013 CONCACAF Men's Under-17 Championship, which runs April 6 to 19 in Ciudad Panama. Only four teams from CONCACAF will qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup UAE 2013, which runs October 17 to November 8.

Organizing Digital Photos and Images
In our digital era most people have huge image collections and organizing the photos turns out not to be an easy task. A growing number of devices (cameras, phones, tablets…) are now equipped with image capture capabilities and the quantity of images in an average image collection grows rapidly. The fact that taking a digital picture does not cost anything makes things even worse as those image collections contain multiple shots of the same object, scene or person. Unfortunately this large quantity of files is hard to maintain and costs a lot of disk space.
Organizing Photos by Removing Duplicates
The first important thing to do is to get rid of the duplicates. This task can take ages on large photo collections so using a dedicated tool is a necessity. Luckily Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder by MindGems Inc. can solve the issue instantly. VSDIF is an innovative tool that can recognize similar or duplicate photos even if they are stored in different file formats. The tool supports more than 100 common image formats and more than 300 RAW camera formats. This tool is an industry leader in this field and is used in the medical industry, stock photography web sites, document management systems and many more. While the Corporate version is quite expensive MindGems provides a desktop version which is popular among the professional photographers at a very low cost . A free demo is available for download here.
Organizing Photos by Grouping Similar Images
VSDIF can help with organizing photos also by finding similar images. If photos from the same photo shoot are scattered all over the computer VSDIF will identify them and group them together by similarity. A similarity percentage that can be adjusted to a certain threshold determines how similar the grouped images should be. There is also an option to compare the EXIF date time. This is handy to identify images that are taken in burst mode or images that have close dates and times. The feature works by grouping together images that have delay between the shots smaller than a specified period of time.
Organizing Photos Using Image Search
One of the options in VSDIF is to search for images by providing a sample image. If photos from a photo shoot are moved to a folder and left orphaned the feature will help to easily locate the source folder from where they were moved. It is also useful for finding all the images that contain certain person, scene or object.

It's exactly what crossed my mind as I watched him on today's "Meet the Press." He talked about Iraq and the Eric Cantor loss, but I'll quote on what he said about Hillary Clinton, who, we might presume, would be his opponent, and in fact, the question was: "If you were running for president again, and if she were the Democratic nominee, what's the playbook to beat her?"
Well, the playbook I believe is to look at her record. I think you have to consider what's happened around the world during the years that she was secretary of State. And you have to say it's been a monumental bust. And then her most recent comments as she was rolling out the book, she was asked whether the Bowe Bergdahl trade was one that presented a threat to the United States.
And she came back with a clueless answer. She was clueless. She said, "Look, these commandos don't represent a threat to the United States." Well, of course they do. And then she went on to say, "They only represent a threat to Afghanistan and Pakistan." Are you kidding? I mean, we're in Afghanistan.
And we're in Afghanistan in part to protect America's security. I think her clueless comments about the Bergdahl exchange as well as her record as the secretary of State are really going to be the foundation of how a Republican candidate is able to take back the White House.

The composition of the world population has changed dramatically in recent decades. Between 1950 and 2010 life expectancy worldwide rose from 46 to 68 years, and it is projected to increase to 81 by the end of the century.
The theme of the 2012 commemoration is "Longevity: Shaping the Future". Ageing and health was also the theme of this year's World Health Day on 7 April. These themes focus on how healthy behaviours throughout life can help older men and women lead full and productive lives and be a resource for their families and communities.
It should be noted that at present women outnumber men by an estimated 66 million among those aged 60 years or over. Among those aged 80 years or over, women are nearly twice as numerous as men, and among centenarians women are between four and five times as numerous as men. For the first time in human history, in 2050, there will be more persons over 60 than children in the world.
Almost 700 million people are now over the age of 60. By 2050, 2 billion people, over 20 per cent of the world's population, will be 60 or older. The increase in the number of older people will be the greatest and the most rapid in the developing world, with Asia as the region with the largest number of older persons, and Africa facing the largest proportionate growth. With this in mind, enhanced attention to the particular needs and challenges faced by many older people is clearly required. Just as important, however, is the essential contribution the majority of older men and women can continue to make to the functioning of society if adequate guarantees are in place. Human rights lie at the core of all efforts in this regard.

I hear you and see you lots of work going on....
I guess im the first to post this?? Well since im digging it out right now i guess it gives me the right!!! Lots of activity going on here now, Im loading over 200 trucks a day, tiebacks are being drilled thru the temp slurry wall next to the disaster bank and so on.... Sal post some pics!!!!!
I hear you and see you lots of work going on....
Here are the pictures from 5-11-10. Its in a very hard spot to take pics, and to make it worse they have the small chain links on the fence which makes it so hard for pics

200 trucks full of material removed a day? wow.. keep the updates coming!! how deep is the hole?
^Those are some sick photos Sal! Thanks a lot!
The first cut is limited to around 20 feet because 200 tiebacks and shoring whalers have to be installed to support the slurry wall.
I'm loving that dump truck with the whitewall tires!
Even the dump trucks have to look good.
Is the demising wall in this part of the VSC or is it in the Deutsche Bank area?
It's what separates the two. If Deutsche Bank was down when it was supposed to be there would have been no need for the demising wall.
Nice job CAT235D. Gettin' it done.
I was standing on the Memorial today observing CAT235D excavating the VSC today - another productive day, nice job! Ever come across anything interesting down there, CAT?
Yes in fact the other day i dug up a 2ft dia log about 15 ft long that was used as a water pipe, it had wooden taps too, they quicky had me load it onto a small truck and it was taken somewhere to be cleaned and carbon dated.

Clarity Consulting has been around Windows Phone since day one as development partner. They were involved with the original Facebook app, Nokia Music for Windows 8 and have had various concept apps floating around. We also know that a Path app for Windows Phone 8 is in the works, as revealed during the Lumia 1020 announcement back in June and recently teased by Nokia.
In a video that was posted last month to Vimeo by Erik Klimczak, Creative Director at Clarity Consulting, we can see what looks to be a fully-functional prototype of Path for Windows Phone. The video shows lockscreen support for images, a double wide Live Tile, notifications, friends and chats all in action on a Nokia Lumia 925.
The app though is very different from what Nokia has revealed back in June. While the bottom bar is the same design (plain except for the "+" new post button), the color has changed from red to grey. In addition, a permanent title bar with "Path" is now located at the top of the display and the pivots for the various categories have been removed for a single pivot with categories (similar to the new Facebook app).
Basically, we don't know if this is an updated version of Path with a re-worked UI or if Clarity was merely offering a design concept of the service. Considering how polished this app looks though, we'd be surprised if this isn't the near-final release for Windows Phone 8. We have to admit, it does look quite good.
Path (www.path.com) is a private social network, meant to be used amongst your friends and family versus an open one, where anyone can follow you. It's built around messaging and photos with a 150-user limit. It launched in 2010 and has quickly become one of the more popular services on the iPhone. The app is expected to come in two versions, one for non-Lumia phones and one for Nokia devices with 50 customized filters for photos and other perks like the Nokia imaging SDK.
Hopefully we'll find out more in the coming weeks if this is indeed the real Path app for Windows Phone.

text: Run-D.M.C. among Rock Hall nominees 1:01 PM PDT 9/22/2008 by Associated Press , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Metallica, Stooges, Jeff Beck also on the list CLEVELAND -- Run-D.M.C. could "Walk This Way" into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and the Stooges, are among the nine nominees for next year's hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday. The other nominees are guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and disco and R&B group Chic. The list is notable for the wide range of musical genres represented -- hip-hop, metal, punk, disco and R&B -- and the large number of first-time candidates. Only Chic, the Stooges and Jackson have been previously nominated. "It's an interesting group because it really shows the nominating committee showed some thought and energy into who should be inducted," said Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the New York City-based Rock Hall foundation. "It truly shows it's never a closed door for any artist to be nominated." The five leading vote-getters will be announced in January and inducted April 4 in Cleveland. The ceremony typically has been held in New York but is returning to Cleveland after more than a decade-long absence. Tickets will be made available to the public for the first time. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five opened the door for rap at the Rock Hall as the first hip-hop act to be inducted in 2007. Now, Run-D.M.C., nominated in the first year of its eligibility, has the chance to follow on the strength of rock and rap blends such as the 1986 cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and classics like "It's Tricky" and "My Adidas." "The big thing they did is took hip-hop more into the mainstream," said Jim Henke, chief curator of the hall of fame and a member of the nominating committee. "They did combine a lot of rock elements. As far as hip-hop groups go, they're certainly right there at the top." Metallica jumped on the heavy metal wave of the '80s and 25 years later is still selling out arenas. This month the group released "Death Magnetic," which marks a return to its early speed metal days. The Stooges, recently given props in the film "Juno," get another shot after last appearing on the ballot two years ago. Left off the ballot were Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bon Jovi. Both had been eligible for the first time. To be nominated an act must have released its first single or album 25 years prior. "They're great artists," Peresman said. "People's time comes for whatever reason when it does." Rock fan Neil Walls, who started the Web site futurerockhall.com two and one-half years ago to discuss which of today's artists could end up in the hall of fame, said this year's nominees offer great diversity. But he questions why artists like Kiss, Alice Cooper, Peter Gabriel, Chicago and Rush keep getting snubbed. "They need to go back to at least nominating 14 or 15 to at least give the voters more of an option," Walls said. "It really puts the power in the nominating committee's hands." More than 500 musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote on the inductions. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Associated Press email@example.com @thr AP email@example.com @thr

I'm optimistic that having FNC endlessly flogging its venture on air will create a boom in new conservative web users and, in turn, a rising tide that lifts all rightblogger boats. After all, it's got all the hallmarks of a big traffic site: (1) a famous patron, (2) heavy daily content volume, and (3) a variety of subject matter rather than one narrow niche. (See, e.g., the Huffington Post and Hot Air.) But what if instead of creating new blog readers they simply start vacuuming up existing ones — like, say, the 65 percent of HA commenters who hate my posts? Whither the blogosphere?
Seriously, though, what do you guys think of it? Portfolio and Inside Cable News note that Fox has basically abandoned the "fair and balanced" motto by launching a site this partisan. I'm impressed with the sheer amount of stuff on there but annoyed that there's no RSS feed and underwhelmed by the layout. This site, like FNC's main site, somehow looks a bit chintzier than CNN's or MSNBC's, although I'm not quite sure why. I want to say it's because there's too much white space, but both of its competitors have plenty of white space too. Any ideas what the problem is, web designers? Exit question: Hey, as part of the big launch, can we get FoxNews.com to stop cheaping out with that postage-stamp-sized video player they use and get a nice, roomy video player like MSNBC? You're number one in the ratings, people. Show us the money.

Ingredients have varied over the years, often using chicken or like here, leftover pork, but one thing is certain, and that is, no matter the region of The South, Brunswick Stew, sometimes called Camp Stew, is a southern favorite.
BBQ Pork Brunswick StewThis Barbecue Pork Brunswick Stew was one of the recipes I had in mind when I bought that 9-pound pork shoulder recently. I started with a wonderful Spicy BBQ Crockpot Pulled Pork, but already had a couple of planned leftovers meals in mind from that one meal, and this was one of them. Now before I start, let me say I don't lay any claim to this being an "authentic" version of Brunswick stew. I'm not from the Brunswick area, so it's just my interpretation.
Truth is, there are many forms of Brunswick Stew these days, though Brunswick County, Virginia lays claim to the original, dating back to to 1828 when a camp cook for Dr. Creed Haskings, a Virginia State Legislator, created it in a large iron pot on one of Dr. Haskings hunting trips. The original stew was very simple, consisting of only squirrel meat, onion, a few seasonings and stale bread. (No squirrels were harmed in the making of my stew y'all! ;) A debate was stirred, however, when Brunswick, Georgia laid claim to the invention of this very same stew.

The ingredients have varied over the years since the original of course, with chicken generally replacing squirrel, or sometimes rabbit, and the addition of vegetables, but one thing is certain, and that is, no matter the region of The South, Brunswick Stew is a southern favorite.
Somewhere along the line, barbecued meats and sauce made it's way into Brunswick Stew, I'm guessing that it's because Brunswick Stew is often a staple dish served at barbecue cookouts, so some clever cook thought to combine the two, probably after having a bit of both leftover. It's entirely possible that barbecue joints had something to do with that, needing a way to recycle barbecue leftover from the day before.
Although my version is different, there's even a well-known and very old shortcut "camp stew" that used canned meats in place of fresh, because, well... camping! I don't know if they even sell those anymore, and truthfully, I'd advise hitting the deli of your favorite market for their fresh cooked barbecue meats or even the freezer section instead. There are many more fresher options these days over canned meats and most people pack coolers these days when they camp anyway. My camp stew is what we used to make back in my girl scout days, though it was typically made with ground beef.
Today, a Barbecue Brunswick Stew might include barbecued chicken, beef, or pork, or even a combination of all three. I'm not a huge fan of combining a lot of different meats together in one stew, so I decided to go with leftover pork this time. A smokey barbecue sauce is usually added to the stew, for some people a little, for others a lot. I found a cup to be about perfect for me.
Since I had planned this stew for some pork leftover from the Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork, it seemed natural to start off with a bit of bacon - as if I need an excuse. Most traditional Brunswick Stew recipes aren't very likely to contain bacon and probably not The Trinity either, but y'all so know I'm gonna totally go there, don't ya?
Then we add in some tomatoes - I used stewed here, but you could use canned whole tomatoes and break them up, or use canned diced tomatoes. When tomatoes are in season, certainly use those. Let the tomatoes simmer for about 10 minutes before adding in 3 cups of chicken stock or broth.
Three diced potatoes are added in with the stock at the same time, brought up to a boil, and then allowed to simmer covered, for about 20 minutes.
Since canned goods are a pantry staple in this house, rather than the usual frozen vegetables, I decided to use canned tomatoes, corn, and beans as well. Thanks to the good folks at Allens sending me some coupons, I was able to use Allens products for my stew!
Okay the truth is, I already loved Allens products anyway - Sugary Sam's sweet potatoes, Veg-All mixed veggies, Popeye's spinach, Trappey's black-eyed peas, and of course all kinds of Allens vegetables and their newest line of Seasoned and Southern Seasoned vegetables. Open the doors of my pantry and it's a given that you'll find quite a few of those.
Allens is just a reliable and tasty canned product that I have loved for years, and I am happy to share them with y'all, but it was mighty nice of them to reward me for being a loyal consumer of their stuff. Besides, you gotta love a company where "serving up memories" is their motto! Food. Family. Memories y'all.
Add in the corn - I use both whole kernel and creamed, the green lima beans and the leftover barbecued pork. You can certainly use a commercial barbecued canned or frozen pork if you don't happen to have any leftover. In fact, you can also add in some barbecued chicken and beef too if ya like!
Stir in the pork and add some barbecue sauce.
And let it all warm through. Easy. Simple. Delicious. And perfect for this upcoming blizzard.
Allens is family owned and operated and is 100% U.S. grown and distributed y'all, so be sure to pop by their site and check out their line of canned and frozen products and grab some great recipes too while you're there. Many of their products are gluten free and kosher by the way. You're bound to find some southern memories and classics you'll love.

Recipe: Southern BBQ Pork Brunswick Stew©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped celery
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans of stewed or diced tomatoes, undrained
- 3 cups of chicken broth
- 3 potatoes (about a pound), peeled and diced
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 1 can of creamed corn, undrained
- 1 can of green lima beans, drained
- 3-4 cups of shredded BBQ pork
- 1 cup of smokey flavor barbecue sauce
- Couple dashes of hot sauce, optional
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Cut the bacon into a pot and saute until softened. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the stewed tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken broth and potatoes, bring back up to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. To that add the corn, lima beans, barbecued pork, barbecue sauce and hot sauce. Simmer until everything is heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve with some cornbread, a side of coleslaw and some southern iced tea and you have one mighty fine southern meal.
Cook's Notes: For Chicken Brunswick, stew a whole chicken along with some aromatics (onion, carrots, celery) and covered with water until done. Remove, reserving the broth and deboning the chicken. Proceed with the recipe substituting chicken for the pork, using the homemade chicken stock, and eliminate the barbecue sauce, if desired. Don't feel like stewing a chicken? Just pick up a rotisserie or smoked chicken and debone it.
Tip: Can use leftover pork, or substitute an equal amount of canned or frozen commercial barbecue pork product. Be sure to include all of the sauce in the package. Can make BBQ Brunswick with a combination of pork, chicken and beef if desired. Can also substitute an equal amount of frozen corn and frozen lima or butterbeans, or use fresh, cooked vegetables.

Political Turmoil Leaves Egypt in Unrest
The political turmoil in Egypt has brought between 250,000 and two million people taking to the streets in protest. The country's leader, President Hosni Mubarak, has promised not to run for re-election after his term ends in September. But University of Illinois professor Aladdin Elaasar predicted Mubarak's downfall back in 2009 in his book "The Last Pharaoh: Mubarak and the Uncertain Future of Egypt in the Obama Age." Elaasar spoke with Illinois Public Media's Sean Powers about the future of Egypt.

Baylor finishes on top in AP women's poll
Baylor finishes No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the second straight year.
The Lady Bears were the top choice for the final 11 weeks of the season and received all 40 first-place votes for the fourth straight week.
"I am very fortunate to be able to coach this group of players," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "They strive to be the best they can be and have worked hard to get to and stay at the top of their game. The No. 1 ranking is another example that their efforts have paid off."
Baylor (32-1) will host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament, which begins Saturday. The only hiccup on the season for the Lady Bears was a loss to Stanford in the middle of November.
The Lady Bears were followed by Notre Dame, Connecticut, Stanford and Duke. The Irish edged UConn last Tuesday to win their first Big East tournament title. Notre Dame's only loss this season came to Baylor.
California, Kentucky, Penn State, Texas A&M and Tennessee round out the first 10. With so few games this past week, the Top 25 remained unchanged from the week before.

Pass This Bill Not the Answer to Nations Education Woes
On 09.15.11 09:00 AM posted by Rachel Sheffield
About $60 billion more federal education dollars. Thats President Obamas latest proposal to fix schoolsthis time in the form of his $447 billion jobs bill.
Despite tens of billions in education bailouts in the last two years, not to mention ever increasing federal education budgets, Obama somehow believes that this next round of government dollars is just the answer to the nations education woes.
Speaking yesterday at Fort Hayes High School in Columbus, Ohioin another rendition of his pass this bill speechObama decried the poor condition of the nations schools as reason why students are floundering. And as reason why the government should spend money to fix them.
When buildings are old, they start falling apart . Some of the schools the ventilation is so poor it can make students sick. How do we expect our kids to do their very best in a situation like that? The answer is we cant. Every child deserves a great school, and we can give it to them, but we got to pass this bill.
More money for school construction to improve education? The numbers reveal otherwise. The Cato Institutes Adam Schaeffer points out that K-12 per-pupil spending on school facilities has increased 150 percent in the last two decades.
This isnt to say that some schools in the United States are not in ill-repair. But to put the federal government in the business of school maintenance and construction is a blatant overreach of power into local government authority. It is also inefficient. As The Heritage Foundations Lindsey Burke notes:
If Washington funds school construction, it must pay prevailing wages, which increase costs, on average, by 22 percent. Because of DavisBacon labor laws, schools that receive federal funding for school construction would typically have to hire union workers, increasing costs and preventing non-union construction companies from having a seat at the bidding table.The second portion of Obamas new education funding is to create a teacher layoff prevention program, because, as Vice President Joe Biden asserted in a conference call with the teachers unions on Monday, schools are deciding whether or not to heat the school or keep a teacher.
If that assertion is truly the case, it leaves us wondering where all the prior bailout money has gone. It was just last year that Congressed threw $10 billion in taxpayer dollars into saving teachers jobs. And lets not forget the nearly $100 billion the federal government pumped into the Department of Education only two years ago as part of the 2009 stimulus.
The numbers also reveal that, overall, schools are not facing a teacher shortage. Since the 1950s, studentteacher ratios have been on the decline. Whereas in 1950 there were nearly 28 students per teacher, by 2006 the ratio was only approximately 16 students per teacher.
Using federal bailouts to fix American education has failed to improve schools in the past and will no doubt fail again. Rather than stringing taxpayers along on another federal spending spree, its time Washington put control of education back into the hands of those closest to the students: local government and parents.

Entry for Święte (or Schwenten), which is the town where my great-great grandparents were married and some of their family had lived.
Święte is currently located in the administrative district of Gmina Łasin, within Grudziądz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.
Święte, In German: Schwenten, documented as: Swenten, Hennyngesdorff, Hennigisdorf, Henningisdorg, Svente, and in about 1400 Heiligsdorf, Hoenigsdorf, a knightly estate with a Catholic parish church, Grudziądz district, post office at Goczałki (about 2.5km), together with rectory (3 houses, 52 inhabitants), 605 hectares (457 under cultivation, 40 meadow, 8 forest); in 1885 14 houses, 40 homes, 231 inhabitants (177 Catholic, 54 Evangelical Protestant). School with 3 simultaneous classes (220 students and 2 teachers). Church building called by the name of Saint Barbary, private patronage; In 1867 the parish (Deanery of Lasin) had 1150 souls, and in 1889: 1347. The composition of the parish includes: Święte, Huta, Kozlowo, Krzywki, Lessenwalde, Nowy Folwark, Waldówko, Szalasy, Babki, Dohnastaedt, Goczałki, Osówko, Tymawa, M. Tymawa, Bellingswalde, Goryn, Kisielice, Spikora, Waldowo, Sobiewola and Limza.
Święte already existed before the arrival of the Crusaders and, according to the legend, took its name from here, the locals, as zealous Christians, suffered martyrdom at the hands of the Gentiles. When the Crusaders on the court originally founded a new village here, the court removed its ancient name and took from his judge Henning, the name of Hennyngesdorf. But the name was not accepted by the people (refer to Ketrzynski "The Nation of Poland", str. 98). Therefore, during the time of Pawla of Russdorf (1422-1441) returned the name of Święte.
For the first time in 1314 it mentions Karl von Trier, issued a city charter for Łasin. In 1366, Winrich von Kniprode updated the city charter, having a cover with peat bog 101 wlók and 11 morg boundaries to account for: Waldowo, Szonowo, Lasin and Rogozno. The mayor has 7 włóka [regarded as a "full–sized farm," one big enough to provide a living] free for Chelmno law and collects 1/3 of court fines, 2/3 the law. The pastor has 6 free wlók; the rest of the inhabitants of the wlók are almost all inherited as part of Chelmno, however, every year on the day of Saint Martin to levy rent half of the fine and 2 hens. If he showed more or less wlók, this applies to it and rent. Dan Rogoźno, who was komturship '(ed: a rank within military orders, especially the Teutonic Knights)', or aldermanship, owned Święte.
In 1369, the Mayor gives Jan Rogozinski AKA Wichholz, village leader in Hennyngsdorf, 13 1/2 morgs in the woods in addition to the orchards. In 1376, Jeske von Swenten occured, Jaśko ze Świętego (Ketrz., 1 c., 124). In 1414, loss of the Teutonic Knights' Hunger War, the village suffered 2226 grzy [monetary unit] worth of damage, also 3 people were killed.
The rent book from the year 1435 shows 99 wlók, the Mayor of whom has 7, and parish has 6; rents were 88, also an inn. In the year 1442 there were 101 wlók; 7 for the Mayor, 6 parish priest, 22 empty. In the year 1454, there is Jocusch von Swenten, Jakusz ze Świętego (Kętrz., 1 c.).
In the year 1599, Święte acquires Wałdówko from the widow of Starosta of Radzyń, Hugonie Dabrowskim, Katarzyna of Dzialynskich from the heirs after Mik. Kostce de Szembek.
Around 1667, Jan Dabrowski held the lands that his father Feliks had held previously. A visitor found a demolished church, does not know whether it was the only parish or chapel; claimed it was a brick foundation. By the lake lay a cemetery. It was said that the church had the title of Saint Barbara and that the parish had four wlók but no one knew how to mark their boundaries. On the spot of the church a cross stood tall (refer to p. 489). Already at that time the wlók was converted into a rural manor. According to the fees paid to Święte in 1722, 12 grzy [monetary unit] by the heir of Kozlowski, who pledged for so long to use the land for a parish rectory in Łasin to pay 60 florians annually by his son Waclaw Kozlowski, heir to Święte and Goczalkach. Asked the bishop of the parish to give to him 4 wlók , partly overgrown chróstem. The church was set up in 1736 and a stone wall was erected for the Prussian rectory by the first priest, Adempski, whom was installed in the year 1733.
After Kozłowski took over the lands in about the year 1741, the local judge of Chelmno Adam Kosowski took possession of the land. He is sued and replaced and put on trial for the rest of the parish wlók and won it, such that it once again included the rectory's 6 wlók valued as a charter of the Teutonic Order in the year 1366, for the parish. It was then 6 wlók in the Swiete field, 8 in Krzywce, 6 in Wałdówku, 2 in Józefów, in addition to five homesteads in Lessenwalde.
In the year 1777 belonging to the local key: Święte , Huta, Kozlowo, Krzywka and Waldówko, 89 wlók total 6 1/2 morgs, between 20 morgs that of meadows, 20 wlok forest, a vegetable garden and fruit by 3 morgs, lake by 9 morgs, bordering wilderness of a wlók and 24 morgs, an inn, windmill, in addition to orchards, the right to hunting, brewing beer and patronage of the church. Święte itself included 57 wlok and 6 1/2 acres and brought in, together with the forest and garden, 596 talar 88 grzywny net profit.
In year 1786 Franciszek Leski owned Święte and the colony of (the same name) Święte. The same was purchased by them subhasty Karol Ferdynand of Gersdorff for 20,200 talar (refer to Gesch. d. Graud. Kr. v. Froehlich, str. 308—311). Ks. Fr.

Linaro hosted its first Connect event last week in Cambridge, UK; providing an opportunity for Linaro and community developers to gather and work on current tasks and plan for the future. The kernel working group used this time to work along with several sub-architecture maintainers to work on several critical items on the Arm cleanup and consolidation roadmap.
The team was split into two main groups, the first focusing on continuing the work on enabling Device Tree support on Arm platforms, a technology selected by the Arm Linux community to simplify porting of the kernel to the diverse platforms developed by Arm silicon vendors and ODMs. Arm-based silicon vendors and ODMs. Device Tree moves the description of the devices that make up a platform (memory, I2C connected devices, serial ports, etc) from the kernel to an external file - the Device Tree file. Currently, adding support to a new board for a kernel supported SOC required changing the kernel and rebuilding it even if the change from an already supported board is as simple as a device changing I2C bus addresses or IRQ number. With Device Tree, an engineer simply needs to update the Device Tree Source (DTS) file, compile it with a simple script into a binary blob - the Device Tree, and load it into memory. The kernel reads the device tree at boots and initializes the HW described by the DTB. A new revision of a platform or a brand new platform simply requires a new DTB file. In the case of new hardware not supported by the existing kernel, drivers for such can be modularized and the old kernel can still be used without needing an update. This model also opens up the possibility of updating device support on stable and supported kernels, something that is of importance for moving Arm Linux distributions into the server market.
Basic Device Tree support - passing platform identification and memory size information to the kernel - has been working on a few platforms in Linus' upstream kernel.org tree since 2.6.39 but this is not enough to fully describe a hardware platform. The team at Linaro Connect, led by Grant Likely, set out to enhance DT support and to enable it on some new platforms. By the end of the week, the team had written many patches that will are queued up for the 3.2 kernel tree:
Several device drivers for the Freescale iMX were converted to use DT-based discovery.
Code was developed to bridge between the Device Tree model and TI OMAP's HWMOD which is used to describe complex power and clock domains.
Initial support for DT was added to the Samsung Exynos, Qualcomm MSM86, and Atmel AT91 ports including a serial console described by the Device Tree.
Initial skeleton work for DT was done for the Arm Versatile board.
Device Tree helps us move towards our goals of being able to boot a kernel on any Arm machine and having a cleaner code base; however, it is only part of the solution. The Arm kernel port has been under development for over a decade and in that time has accumulated a lot of cruft that does not make it possible to build a kernel that supports heterogeneous SOCs. Much of it code that has been copy-pasted from one place to another, creating multiple similar implementations of the same functions, using the same symbol names globally, and adding much code bloat. The Arm kernel tree has grown at a very rapid pace, estimated at a quarter million lions of code changes/year. years and in that time, many decisions have been made that were OK in the context of "traditional embedded" but do not scale to needs of millions of mobile devices or of enterprise commodity servers. Cleaning up this code to remove the cruft and enabling the building of a multi-SOC kernel binary was the other focus of the Kernel Working Group.
The problems we are trying to solve in this exercise are mostly simple conceptually but require much hand coding to rename symbols, replace build-time constants with runtime variables, consolidating configuration options. Often, digging into these led into other problems that need to be solved first, as significant portions of the code base has been create piecemeal, with one change depending on some other API or set of headers. In much the same way, the cleanup work requires fixing one piece at a time. For example, one of the simpler tasks was to remove a constant - CLOCK_TICK_BASE - that is still in global header files for all Arm SOC ports. This symbol is a historical leftover from old time keeping code that describes the frequency of the system timer clock. New system timer drivers do not rely on this symbol. The initial thought was to simply remove this symbol from the SOC headers and rename it on the SOCs that do make use of it. Unfortunately, there is another constant - LATCH - based on the CLOCK_TICK_RATE and removing the later would cause kernel build to fail. LATCH is also a legacy leftover from out-of-date time keeping code so in theory it can too be deleted, unfortunately, it is used by several drivers that still need to be cleaned up. In addition, LATCH is used in some non-Arm architecture code, so removing it also requires cleaning those up. All together, the removal of this one symbol leads to about two dozen patches that need to be submitted upstream touching code throughout the kernel tree, not just the Arm SOC ports. This was one of the simpler problems we looked into and others require digging through a much more complicated puzzle of inter-dependencies. These included:
Replacing low level IO accessor macros with runtime selected functions based on platform type. Currently each platform defines I/O macros with the same name and these will clash if trying to build multi-platform kernels. Removing these is a complex challenge as there are many pieces of code that incorrectly use these macros when they should be using higher-level APIs.
Replacing the global NR_IRQS constant with per-board information
Removing duplicated low-level serial output functions. Currently the code to print "Uncompressing kernel…" and the code for low-level in-kernel serial output are completely different but could be made to be the same.
In addition the the above work, KWG members also were involved in discussions about continuous integration and testing of the upstream kernels on Arm platforms, kernel development process at Linaro and how to better stay in sync with upstream, -stable patches for Arm platforms, Android development, and flash storage roadmap to name a few. Overall, the team had an extremely productive week of hacking on existing projects and on coming up with more detailed plans on what other items on which we need to focus.
