Toyota recently introduced its all-new 2012 Camry. It's the automaker's biggest-volume offering, and one critical for its success. The following information is based on a speech during the sedan's global reveal by Bob Carter, general manager of the Toyota Division.
Toyota's all-new 2012 Camry will arrive at Toyota dealers in October. According to the automaker, it will be the most technologically advanced Toyota ever built. The midsize sedan sports a fresh-look body with 100 percent of the exterior sheet metal all new, and more than 90 percent of the parts in Camry re-engineered.
Inside, Toyota reports there's a new level of space, comfort and refinement for both drivers and passengers. Without increasing the size of the car, engineers have made the new Camry roomier and more comfortable while improving driving visibility. The cabin also is quieter than ever.
Toyota reports Camry's 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine will meet the needs of a majority of its customers. Its 178-horsepower engine is teamed with a six-speed automatic transmission, "providing smooth acceleration and 35 miles per gallon highway fuel economy." For those wanting more power, the new Camry's 268-horsepower V-6 provides improved performance, yet "mpg is as good or better than competitors' V-6 and turbocharged four-cylinder engines."
The aggressive-looking SE provides a more-dynamic driving experience with a special suspension system and performance-tuned steering. The new Camry Hybrid offers significant improvements over the current model. Toyota claims "it sets a new benchmark." It will be powered by a new hybrid system with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder delivering 200 horsepower and 43 mpg in the city.
In spite of all the new features and refinement added, prices on all popular models will be lower than they are today. At $22,500, LE is down $200. Starting at $23,000, SE models are down $1,000. XLE sheds $2,000, with a $24,725 starting price. Camry Hybrid LE pricing will be down $1,150 to $25,900. The new XLE hybrid at $27,400 is $800 less than the current hybrid with an upgrade package.
New Camrys will spotlight the Star Safety System, which includes features such as Vehicle Stability Control, and Traction Control among others. The 2012 model adds 10 airbags, plus an optional backup monitor, blind-spot monitor and Safety Connect.
Answering the demands of consumers looking for information and entertainment, Toyota will fit the new Camry with the Entune multimedia system. The key to Entune is its conversational voice-recognition system that helped it earn a best-in-class rating at this year's Consumer Electronics Show.

U.S. Scientists Develop Eye-shaped CameraBy Reuters - Print
With funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, scientists built a digital camera that has the size, shape and layout of a human eye.
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Borrowing one of nature's best designs, U.S. scientists have built an eye-shaped camera using standard sensor materials and say it could improve the performance of digital cameras and enhance imaging of the human body.
The device might even lead to the development of prosthetic devices including a bionic eye, they said.
"This is the first time we've demonstrated a camera on a curved surface to really make it look like a human eye," said Yonggang Huang of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, who reported his findings on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Huang, who worked on the project with John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, developed a relatively simple solution to the long-running problem of transferring microelectronic components onto a curved surface without breaking them.
"If you simply bend it, those materials are brittle like a ceramic bowl. They break," Huang said in a telephone interview.
To solve this, Huang and Rogers developed a mesh-like material made up of tiny squares that hold the photodetectors and electronic components. The squares are connected by tiny wires that give each component the ability to mold to a curved surface.
"This approach allows us to put electronics in places where we couldn't before," Rogers said in a statement.
With funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, Huang and Rogers built a digital camera that has the size, shape and layout of a human eye. Huang said the curved shape greatly improves the field of vision, bringing the whole picture into focus.
"Currently when you take photos, the middle part of the picture is very clear but when you go to the edge, it is not so clear," Huang said. "The curved technology will make the entire picture clear."
But the applications extend beyond taking better vacation photos.
"It really extends to all of the electronics that we use on humans. You want to have a curved surface to fit the human body. That is really the place it can be used," he said.
Huang said the device could be used to make better imaging equipment, such as curved sensors to monitor brain activity that follow the contours of the brain. It could even be used in the development of an artificial retina or a bionic eye.
"If you want to develop an eye to replace a human eye, certainly you want the shape to look like a human eye," he said.
"Right now we've already got a camera working. It works very well with computers. It's just how to connect the camera to the brain. That is the issue to be solved," he said.

So, what's the stench in your life? The one you don't notice? What's the fragrance in your life—the one that only other people smell?
Think of it this way. Have you ever come back from vacation and noticed the odor of your house? I'm not talking about forgetting to take out the garbage—I'm talking about that special smell that other people know as the fragrance of your home but you rarely smell because it is yours.
You also have a way of looking at life that is uniquely yours—or unique to your community. That smell or odor or fragrance—whatever you label it—that's a piece of you. That's your perspective on life.
Once upon a time—not long ago—my odor contained quite a bit of judgment of others, better than-ness, and self-righteousness. I wouldn't be surprised if the odor still lingers although I am working hard to exchange it for inclusivity, friendship, and authenticity.

Leafs try to rebound against Bruins in Game 2
The Toronto Maple Leafs will try to bounce back from a poor performance in Game 1, as they aim to even the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinals in Saturday's Game 2 clash at Boston's TD Garden.
The Maple Leafs played their first playoff game in nine years on Wednesday, but it did not go well as the fourth-seeded Bruins recorded a 4-1 win on home ice. Toronto scored the game's first goal less than two minutes into the opening period, but it was all downhill from there.
David Krejci registered a goal and two assists, as Boston scored four unanswered goals en route to the easy win in Game 1.
Wade Redden added a goal and an assist, while Nathan Horton and Johnny Boychuk each scored once for the Bruins, who took three of four meetings against the Maple Leafs during the regular season.
Tuukka Rask stopped 19-of-20 shots to help Boston draw first blood in the series, which will shift to Toronto for Games 3 and 4.
James van Riemsdyk netted the lone Toronto goal, while James Reimer, making his first playoff appearance between the pipes, allowed all four goals on 40 shots for the Leafs, who qualified for the postseason for the first time since 2004.
"I just thought that we self-destucted," Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said. "I thought we had a good forecheck going early in the hockey game and then we stopped."
Van Riemsdyk's power-play marker 1:54 into the contest staked the Leafs to an early advantage, but the Bruins scored a pair of goals in a 3:28 span late in the period and never looked back.
"It kind of (took) all the noise out of the crowd and that feeling out of the building when they got that first one," said Boston winger Milan Lucic, who finished with two assists. "We knew we were going to have to score at least one goal to win, and we knew if we kept our composure and focused on what we had to do, we were going to get ourselves back in the game."
Redden started the flurry at the 16:20 mark when his blast from just outside the left circle snuck through the left armpit of Reimer and trickled across the goal line to knot the game. Toronto defenseman Dion Phaneuf was then whistled for slashing just 1:35 later, setting up Horton's go-ahead goal.
Boston went 1-for-5 on the power play, while the Maple Leafs scored once on three opportunities with the man advantage.
The Bruins will play Saturday without defenseman Andrew Ference, who was suspended one game for delivering an elbow to the head of Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski in the series' opener. Meanwhile, Grabovski took part in practice on Friday and will play in Game 2.
Toronto defenseman Cody Franson is also dealing with a bruised foot, but he's expected to play on Saturday.
This is the 14th time these Original Six teams have met in the playoffs, but the first since 1974, when Boston swept Toronto in the opening round.
Boston improved to 45-45 in Game 1s of a best-of-seven series, with a 31-15 series record when winning Game 1.
Game 3 of this series is scheduled for Monday at Air Canada Centre.

3 vacant homes burn in 30 minutes
Arson suspected in New Castle fires
Police and fire investigators suspect arson after three vacant homes all caught fire within 30 minutes of one another in Lawrence County.
The fires began to be reported about 11 p.m. Thursday in New Castle, about 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
As fire crews battled the first fire, they were called to another six blocks away and then a third about six blocks away from the second fire.
The third fire was at a home that was damaged last year when a vacant home next door to it was set on fire. Last year's fire was one of 12 that city officials determined was intentionally set in an investigation that led to arrests.
"The three within an hour time frame is one indication that this may be suspicious," said New Castle police Officer John George. "If there's a connection, then we'll make it."
Nobody was hurt in any of Thursday night's fires.

Just about every day or two, people come to these forums and ask the same typical question; "Where do I begin?", "How do I do this?", "Will you help me do this?". To make it easier for aspiring hackers, I have decided to take my time and make this post, which will outline some of the many things that will help you along your journey. I use the word journey, because it is going to be one. Do not think of hacking as something that you are just going to learn over a day, a week, a month, or even years. If you are serious, take the time to read this post. Yes it is long, yes you may know some of it. Does it hurt you, no. Can you possibly gain something from this, yes. This is almost a test to see how much you are willing to learn. If you are not willing to read a lengthy topic regarding how to get your foot into the door, then do not bother trying to learn at all.

Place the ramekins in a large baking pan 2 ½ to 3 inches deep. Ladle the warm liquid into the ramekins. Transfer the pan to the oven and carefully pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until custard is set, 60-75 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly, then carefully remove ramekins from hot water.
- Chill for at least 4 hours. To serve, heat the broiler. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar on top of the chilled custard. Place the ramekins on the level surface of the broiler pan and broil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to caramelize sugar. Carefully remove from the broiler and let sit 3-4 minutes until the caramelized sugar hardens.

The crux of Rick Reilly's latest column for ESPN.com is this: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick should take steps to foster a relationship with his birth mother because Reilly's own adopted daughter has a healthy relationship with her birth mother. No, seriously, that's Reilly's argument, because Rick Reilly wouldn't be Rick Reilly if he weren't a presumptuous, morally officious boob:
The Kaepernicks have told Colin they'd have no problem with him speaking to Russo. They even met with her recently without Colin. But Colin hasn't budged on the issue. One of his friends told Yahoo! Sports that Colin would think it's "treasonous" to meet with Russo.
But it's not. It's healthy. It's healing. It's natural.
More than that, it's important. When that 11-year-old version of Rae finally got to meet her birth mother, even though it was only for 20 minutes, she glowed. Her roots were no longer a mystery. She finally knew where she came from.
Your parents are your parents forever. Nothing can ever change that.
Good for Rick and his daughter and her birth mom that things worked out, that the process was healthy and healing and natural for them. What makes Reilly a dick is the blithe assumption that it'd be the same for everyone else. I mean, I don't pretend to know what's best for Reilly and his kids and either of his wives. Who's he to say what's best for Colin Kaepernick?

Rail safety agency to rule on train cams
Cams will record accidents and monitor drivers
Two U.S. senators say a federal rail safety agency plans to propose a rule regarding the installation of video cameras aboard trains to monitor drivers and record accidents.
Sen. Charles Schumer, of New York, and Richard Blumenthal, of Connecticut, said Sunday that they had been informed by the Federal Railroad Administration that it would begin the process of establishing the rule sometime this year.
It would cover cameras installed in train cabs to record unsafe behavior by drivers and outward-facing cameras that scan the tracks.
The National Transportation Safety Board has urged the Railroad Administration for several years to boost the use of safety cameras.
Schumer and Blumenthal publicly urged the FRA to act last month, following a deadly commuter train derailment in New York City.

Stanton progressing in running program
MIAMI -- Pinpointing a target date for Giancarlo Stanton's return remains up in the air.
The Marlins' slugger is hopeful to return before the All-Star break, but right now, everything is a guess.
Stanton went on the disabled list on April 30 with a strained right hamstring. He has done some hitting in the cages and is playing catch.
"I'm hitting and throwing," Stanton said. "That's good that I can do that."
But as for running, Stanton has progressed from doing jogging in a therapeutic pool to running on a special anti-gravity treadmill, which he has done the past two days.
Stanton is recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which roughly takes four to six weeks from which to recover.
"I don't know how long it's going to take," Stanton said. "Once I can do normal jogging and running, it will be better to figure that out."

Ubisoft reported sales for the third fiscal quarter of 2009-10 today, indicating a 2.7% drop in year-over-year sales, a marked improvement over the first half drop of 52%.
Ubisoft came on strong during the holiday season, nearly matching 2008-2009's third quarter sales of €508 million, with €495 million in sales representing a rather modest 2.7% drop. Drops are generally considered bad, but when compared to Ubisoft's first half performance, with sales of €166 million compared to the previous year's €344 million, then things are definitely looking up for the company.
The surge is likely due in no small part to the impressive numbers for Assassin's Creed II, selling more than six million copies across all platforms as of last month, while the company explains the lack of overall performance is due to a softness in the Nintendo DS market, along with poor performance of the video game tie-ins for James Cameron's Avatar.
In light of the enhanced performance, Ubisoft expects fourth quarter sales of around €200 million, 3% less than the previous year, with total fiscal year 2009-10 sales of €860.

The number of B.C. public servants earning $100,000 or more continues to grow, but at a slower pace than in previous years, according to The Vancouver Sun's exclusive database of public-sector salaries.
The fifth and latest version of the database is now available at vancouversun.com/pay.
Of the roughly 70,000 people in this year's database, more than 19,000 earned $100,000 or more, a 7.7-per-cent increase in six-figure salaries over the previous year.
That's a bigger increase than last year, when six-figure salaries only jumped by 4.7 per cent, but is still significantly lower than the two years before that, both of which saw year-over-year increases in six-figure salaries of more than 20 per cent each.
The slowing growth in those making $100,000 or more is not surprising given the "net zero" negotiating mandate imposed by the B.C. government in the last few years, in which any wage increases for employees had to be paid for with cost savings elsewhere.
Click here to search the database
On Thursday, the Ontario government released its own "sunshine list" of public-sector employees earning more than $100,000. It showed 88,412 people earning six-figure salaries, compared to around 19,000 in B.C. The numbers are hard to compare because Ontario's population is almost three times larger than B.C.'s. And Ontario's list includes some types of agencies, like charities that receive significant government funds, that are not included in The Sun's database.
Because some B.C. agencies in the database this year were not included last year, The Sun has limited its comparison of six-figure salaries to agencies that were in the database both years.
While the overall increase in six-figure salaries was relatively modest this year, some agencies saw significant jumps in those earning $100,000 or more.
One of the most notable increases occurred at the Provincial Health Services Authority, which runs B.C. Children's Hospital, the BC Cancer Agency and several other provincial health agencies.
The health authority went from having 654 employees earning six figures in 2010-11 to 983 in 2011-12, a 50-per-cent increase.
PHSA spokeswoman Lesley Pritchard wrote in an email that the main reason for the increase is that the authority took over responsibility for a variety of health services last year.
The most notable was the B.C. Ambulance Service, whose 4,000 employees used to be part of the Ministry of Health.
Pritchard said of the 329 employees who joined the six-figure ranks at PHSA last year, 270 were employees already making that amount at places like B.C. Ambulance and who only joined the PHSA last year.
The remaining 59 were existing PHSA employees who received salary increases, wrote Pritchard.
If only those 59 pre-existing PHSA employees are counted, the authority's year-over-year increase in six-figure salaries is nine per cent, not 50 per cent.
The biggest percentage increase in six-figure salaries occurred at the City of Abbotsford, which went from having 55 employees earning $100,000 or more in 2010 to 89 in 2011, a 62-per-cent jump.
In an email, city spokeswoman Katherine Jeffcoatt said the increase was due to a large number of employees in 2010 with salaries in the high-90s who moved into six-figure territory in 2011 due to overtime and cost-of-living increases.
North Island College, which had the second-highest increase at 60 per cent, pointed to a quirk of the calendar: It had 27 paydays in the 2011-12 fiscal year compared to the usual 26, which bumped several employees above the $100,000 line.
In some cases, the increase in six-figure salaries isn't as dramatic as it might first appear.
For example, the municipality of Bowen Island saw an increase in six-figure salaries of 50 per cent, but that's because the number of employees earning more than $100,000 there went from two to three.
Similarly, Northwest Community College's 50-per-cent increase was due to a jump from six employees earning $100,000 or more to nine.
Other agencies with large year-over-year increases in six-figure salaries attributed the increases to promotions, severance or small wage increases bumping employees above the $100,000 line.
Saanich Police said its 43-per-cent increase was due to its officers receiving lump sum retroactive pay after a new collective agreement was signed.
On the flip side, the biggest decrease in six-figure salaries this year occurred at Vancouver Community College, which went from having 18 people earning $100,000 or more in 2010-11 to 12 in 2011-12, a drop of a third.
VCC spokeswoman Kate Chandler said the drop was due to a restructuring at the college that resulted in some people taking on dual roles.
Chandler said the number of six-figure salaries will likely return to its 2010-11 level in the coming year.
In 2008, The Sun launched B.C.'s first searchable online database of public-sector salaries.
The database, which includes public servants who earn more than $75,000, has been enormously popular, registering more than 10 million page views.
The new database includes pay for more than 70,000 public servants working at 109 public-sector agencies including Crown corporations, health authorities, municipalities and universities.
The remuneration information obtained by The Sun includes the total amount paid to each employee, including base salary but also any overtime, vacation payouts or severance received.

Social media has made a big splash on college campuses, but some schools have taken things beyond the usual Facebook and Twitter to include the popular photo-sharing service Instagram. With Instagram, they're able to drum up school spirit, show off what their campus is all about, and get students involved in events in a whole new way. Read on as we explore how 10 different colleges are making great use of Instagram.
Texas Christian University:
TCU has made a big push on Instagram, encouraging students to post and participate during major events. The university's new media specialist Amy Peterson notes, "photos are one of the best ways to sell anything," so it's a major tool in their marketing strategy. Peterson finds that it allows the university to be where students and alumni are.
University of Florida:
Due to popular demand, the University of Florida shares behind-the-scenes images of the university on Instagram. They share photos from lectures, inside the university TV station, and even a photograph from the podium of the university commencement ceremony. The university has found that it offers a nostalgic look at the campus for alumni, and excitement for current and potential students. Plus, like TCU, University of Florida students participate in major events with Instagram, like using the #ufgrad hashtag during their commencement ceremonies.
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay:
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay uses Instagram as a resource for expanding their social media influence. They feed Instagram to all of their social media networks, especially Facebook. They've found that it makes it easy to attract new photo followers, while also sharing great photos from the campus and college life.
Kaplan International Colleges:
Using Instagram, Kaplan International Colleges is able to highlight its worldwide educational offerings, sharing photos of travel locations, campuses, and student activities. Some of the most interesting Instagram offerings from KIC include student projects and proposals, highlighting some of the great things that Kaplan students have been doing.
Wayne State University:
Wayne State University has found incredible popularity on Instagram, attracting nearly 100 followers just in its first two days on the site and enjoyed a 72% engagement rate. Although they initially felt that Instagram was not worthy of the time investment, they've now made participation in the photo site a priority, and it shows. They've stayed consistent, posting at least one new photo each day that students and alumni can identify with.
Vanderbilt University:
Like the University of Florida, students at Vanderbilt University have made commencement ceremonies an Instagram affair. Using the hashtag #VU2012, the university collected the latest photos to share, posting them on their website every 30 seconds so that they could be shared with families and students.
Tufts University:
Tufts has spread its Instagram influence far and wide, with accounts for everything from alumni to admissions. The university encourages lots of participation not only on official accounts, but also using the #Tufts hashtag to highlight student, staff, and visitor experiences on campus. Even the Tufts Observer uses Instagram to host a Tufts Observer Instagram Photo Contest that prints the best Instagram submissions in issues of the paper.
Syracuse University:
Syracuse University uses Instagram as a marketing tool for promoting their campus. They've created a special focus on posting images that share the history of school, calling their collection a "throwback." Their strategy works, sharing a feeling of nostalgia and historic credibility. There are, of course, plenty of photos depicting current activities and developments on campus as well.
Princeton University:
Princeton University's Instagram feed is a platform for sharing and stimulating campus pride. The University loves to share photos from games, activities, and the moments that make Princeton unique. They've made it a point to share photos from the culture and events at school, encouraging more students to participate in major campus events.
Temple University:
Temple University has used Instagram as part of a larger social media campaign to highlight school pride. The campaign is called, "Temple Made," and it uses Instagram and other social media outlets to illustrate students, athletics, campus spots, and local favorites that illustrate the great things that Temple University has done. It's a great way to highlight the accomplishments of the university and get both students and alumni involved in school pride.

Title II
Increased Flexibility - Allows LEAs increased flexibility to allocate funds among professional development, class-size reduction, and other teacher quality activities, without the requirements that are in current law.
Mathematics and Science Activities - Eliminates the Eisenhower priority for professional development in mathematics and science and creates a separate Math and Science Partnerships competitive grant program.
Competitive Funds - Caps the amount for competitive grants awarded by State agencies for higher education working in conjunction with the SEA at $125 million, rather than providing that a certain percentage of program funds be reserved for this purpose. This will reduce the percentage of funds available for this part of the program as appropriations increase.
State Uses of Funds - New State activities include, among others, reforming teacher and principal certification/licensing requirements, alternative routes to State certification, teacher and principal recruitment and retention initiatives, reforming tenure systems, teacher testing, and merit pay.
Local Uses of Funds - New local activities include, among others, teacher and principal recruitment and retention initiatives, signing bonuses and other financial incentives, teacher and principal mentoring, reforming tenure systems, merit pay, teacher testing, and pay differentiation initiatives.
Class-Size Reduction - Allows LEAs to use program funds to reduce class size, and does not limit the use of program funds for class-size reduction activities in grades 1 through 3, as current law does.
National Activities - Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) establish a national teacher recruitment campaign, which includes activities carried out through the National Teacher Recruitment Clearinghouse, to assist high-need LEAs in recruiting and training teachers and to conduct a national public service campaign about the resources for, and routes to, entering the field of teaching; (2) make competitive grants to assist high-need LEAs to recruit and train principals and assistant principals; (3) make competitive grants to support teachers seeking advanced certification or advanced credentialing to SEAs, LEAs, the National Council on Teacher Quality working with an LEA or SEA, or another certification or credentialing organization working with an LEA or SEA; (4) make competitive grants to LEAs and partnerships to improve the knowledge and skills of early childhood educators who work in communities that have high concentrations of children living in poverty; and (5) establish a National Panel on Teacher Mobility to study strategies for increasing mobility and employment opportunities for highly qualified teachers. Also authorizes funds for the University of Northern Colorado to assist other IHEs in training special education teachers.
If the SEA determines, based on reports submitted by LEAs describing their performance under the Title I teacher qualification requirements (after these requirements have been in effect for two years), that an LEA in the State has failed to make progress toward meeting its measurable objectives, the LEA must develop an improvement plan to help it meet its objectives. The SEA must provide technical assistance to the LEA and, if applicable, to schools within the LEA while the LEA is developing the improvement plan.
After an additional year, if the SEA determines that an LEA still has failed to make progress toward meeting its measurable objectives and has failed to make Title I adequate yearly progress for 3 consecutive years, the SEA must enter into an agreement with the LEA on the use of the LEA's funds under this program, including developing professional development strategies and activities and prohibiting the use of Title I, Part A funds for any paraprofessional hired after the determination is made.
In addition, after 3 years of poor performance, SEAs would also provide funds directly to schools to enable teachers to choose, in consultation with the school principal, the professional development activities in which they would like to participate.
Federal to State - Funds are allocated by formula, with each State first receiving its FY 2001 amount for the Eisenhower Professional Development State Grants and Class-Size Reduction programs. Remaining funds are allocated based 35 percent on child population (ages 5 to 17) and 65 percent on child poverty, with each State receiving a minimum of ½ of 1 percent.
State to Local - Subgrants to Local Educational Agencies are suballocated to LEAs by formula. LEAs first receive the amount they received in FY 2001 for the Eisenhower Professional Development State Grants and Class-Size Reduction programs. Remaining funds are allocated based 20 percent on child population (ages 5 to 17) and 80 percent on child poverty. Subgrants to Eligible Partnerships are awarded competitively by the State agency for higher education (SAHE) working in conjunction with the SEA.
Federal - One-half of 1 percent each for the outlying areas and the BIA.
State - Ninety-five percent of funds for Subgrants to Local Educational Agencies; the lesser of 2.5 percent or $125 million for Subgrants to Eligible Partnerships; and remaining funds are for State-level activities. An SAHE or SEA may use up to 1 percent of its funds for planning and administration.
Eligible Applicants - Partnerships include an SEA (if the Secretary awards the grants); an engineering, math, or science department of an IHE; and a high-need LEA. They may include another engineering, math, science, or teacher training department of an IHE; additional LEAs, public charter schools, or public or private schools; a business; or a nonprofit or for-profit organization of demonstrated effectiveness in improving the quality of math and science teachers.
Use of Funds - Authorizes grantees to use funds to: (1) develop or redesign more rigorous math and science curricula; (2) provide professional development for teachers designed to improve their subject knowledge; (3) promote strong teaching skills that include those based on scientific research and technology-based teaching methods; (4) operate summer workshops or institutes; (5) recruit math, science, and engineering majors into teaching; (6) establish distance learning programs; (7) design programs to prepare teachers to mentor other teachers; (8) operate programs to bring math and science teachers into contact with working scientists, mathematicians, and engineers; (9) design programs to identify and develop exemplary math and science teachers in grades K-8; and (10) develop programs to encourage young women and other underrepresented groups to pursue careers in math, science, engineering, and technology.
- Local - Requires grantee to develop an evaluation and accountability plan to measure the impact of program activities, including measurable objectives included in the law. Partnerships must report annually to the Secretary on their progress in meeting these objectives.
Federal to LEA - At appropriation levels below $100 million, the Secretary makes competitive awards directly to eligible partnerships.
Federal to State - At appropriation levels at or above $100 million, formula allocations to States based on each State's share of children age 5 to 17 from families with incomes below the poverty line, with each State receiving a minimum of ½ of 1 percent.
Within State - Competitive awards to eligible partnerships (if the States receive funds by formula).
Authorizes the Secretary to award program funds to SEAs, institutions of higher education, or consortia of those entities to develop, implement, and demonstrate Innovative Preretirement Certification programs for members of the Armed Forces. Entities receiving funds would be expected to continue the programs after Federal funding ends. Up to $10 million of Troops-to-Teachers funds could be used for this purpose annually.
Requires the Secretary to provide to the Secretary of Defense information regarding participation in the program and applications for use in "preseparation counseling" for individuals leaving the military, and allows the Secretary of Education to provide placement assistance and referral services to those individuals.
Requires the Secretary of Education to submit to Congress a report on the effectiveness of the program in the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel by LEAs and public charter schools no later than March 31, 2006. The report must include information about the number of participants, the schools in which they are employed, the grade levels and academic subjects they teach, and retention rates.
Eligible Partnerships - Include an SEA; a high-need LEA (serves at least 10,000 children or 20 percent of children from families with incomes below the poverty line, and has a high percentage of teachers not teaching in their academic subjects or at grade levels in which the teachers were trained to teach or that has a high percentage of teachers with emergency or provisional certification); a for-profit or nonprofit organization that has a proven record of effectively recruiting and retaining highly qualified teachers, in partnership with a high-need LEA or an SEA; an IHE, in partnership with a high-need LEA or an SEA; a regional consortium of SEAs; or a consortium of high-need LEAs.
Use of Funds - Authorizes grantees to use funds for: (1) scholarships, stipends, bonuses, and other financial incentives to eligible participants in an amount not to exceed $5,000 per participant; (2) pre- and post-placement induction or support activities; (3) placement activities to ensure that teachers are placed in fields in which they are highly qualified to teach and are placed in high-need schools in high-need LEAs; (4) payments to schools to provide financial incentives to prospective teachers; (5) collaborations with IHEs in developing and implementing teacher recruitment (including teacher credentialing) and teacher retention programs; and (6) development of long-term recruitment and retention strategies.
Period of Service - Requires program participants to teach in a high-need school (a school that: (1) is located in an area where the percentage of students from families with incomes below the poverty line is at least 30 percent; (2) is located in an area where there is a high percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels in which the teachers were trained to teach; (3) is within the top quartile of schools in the State in the number of unfilled available teacher positions; (4) is located in an area with high teacher turnover; or (5) is located in an area where a high percentage of teachers are not certified) in a high-need LEA for at least 3 years. Requires the Secretary to establish guidelines for participants to repay all or a portion of their stipend or other incentive if they fail to complete their service obligation.
- Local - Requires a grantee to conduct an interim evaluation at the end of the third year of the grant and a final evaluation at the end of the fifth year. Also requires a grantee to submit reports containing the results of the evaluation to the Secretary and directly to Congress. If the Secretary determines that the grantee has not made sufficient progress at the end of the third year, the grantee may not receive payments for the fourth and fifth years of the grant.
- Federal to Grantee - Competitive awards to eligible partnerships.
- Local - Grantees may use up to 5 percent for administration.
Cost sharing - Increases maximum federal share of costs for a contractor from $40,000 to $100,000. Maximum Federal share of costs for a contractor administering at least five sites throughout the State is still $200,000.
Authorization - Deletes authority to use program funds for Classroom Teacher Grants for classroom research, publication of models of student writing, research on effective practices to improve teaching of writing, and other activities to improve the teaching and uses of writing.
- No specific provision.
- Noncompetitive grant award to the National Writing Project - The National Writing Project contracts with institutions of higher education or other nonprofit educational providers to establish, operate, and provide the non-Federal share of the cost of teacher training programs in effective approaches and processes for the teaching of writing.

Improving Teacher Quality State Grants

Authorizes a new State formula grant program that combines the Eisenhower Professional Development State Grants and Class-Size Reduction programs into one program that focuses on preparing, training, and recruiting high-quality teachers.
Major Changes from Current Law
Accountability (new requirements)
Mathematics and Science Partnerships
(Title II, Part B)
New program authorizing $450 million for competitive 3-year grants to partnerships for activities to improve the academic achievement of students in the areas of mathematics and science. Authorizes competitive awards directly to partnerships at appropriation levels below $100 million and formula allocations to SEAs at appropriation levels of $100 million or more.
Program Description
(Title II, Part C, Subpart 1, Chapter A)
Authorizes the funding and administration of the Troops-to-Teachers program, which was previously authorized as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2000.
Requires the Secretary of Education to transfer funds for this program (except for a new "Innovative Preretirement Teacher Certification" component) to the Secretary of Defense to: (1) assist eligible members of the Armed Forces to obtain certification or licensing as elementary, secondary, or vocational/technical teachers and to become highly qualified; and (2) facilitate the employment of these individuals by LEAs or public charter schools that receive Title I, Part A grants or are experiencing a shortage of highly qualified teachers.
New Provisions Affecting the Department of Education
Transition to Teaching
(Title II, Part C, Subpart 1, Chapter B)
Authorizes competitive 5-year grants to partnerships and eligible entities to establish programs to recruit and retain highly qualified mid-career professionals and recent college graduates as teachers in high-need schools, including recruiting teachers through alternative routes to certification, and to encourage alternative routes to certification under State-approved programs that enable individuals to be eligible for teacher certification within a reduced period of time. This is a new authority in the reauthorized ESEA, but Congress provided $31 million for similar activities in the FY 2001 appropriations act.
Program Description
National Writing Project
(Title II, Part C, Subpart 2)
Authorizes grant to the National Writing Project, a nonprofit educational organization that contracts with institutes of higher education and nonprofit education providers to operate programs that train classroom teachers to teach writing effectively.

The Foods of LA County Fair. Oh, Deep Fried Kool Aid!
It's time for the LA County Fair! Starting this weekend: Rides, live animals, and of course ... food!
The fair runs from Sept 3-Oct 2 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays), but for the first time, this year they invited food-related media in before the Fair opens so we can sample some of the food they offer. The fair's "specialty" is all the weird fried food from Chicken Charlie's. We didn't get to sample everything but we did try their new fried bbq ribs and the fried Kool Aid!
|Fried kool-aid
For fairs and festivals, a must-item for me is a smoked giant turkey leg! Here they're served by Big Bubba's BBQ.

Governor Announces 2013 Revenue Surplus
September 17, 2013
"Utah's steady economic progress is evident on several fronts-job creation, a dropping unemployment rate, and additional revenues for the State," said the Governor. "This surplus is not only encouraging, it's needed. We can now augment the critical investment we make in education and economic development."
More than twice the Fiscal Year 2012 surplus ($99 million), this year's surplus is the result of taxpayers accelerating income into calendar year 2012, which is the State's Fiscal Year 2013, to avoid higher federal tax rates in calendar year 2013.
From the surplus, approximately $120 million will be transferred to the Education Fund Budget Reserve Account, known as the Education Rainy Day Fund. After automatic transfers, an extra $122 million in one-time monies will be available to appropriate in the 2014 General Session of the Utah State Legislature.
With the statutory transfer from surplus and additional appropriated funds, the combined GF/EF Rainy Day Fund balance is now over $400 million, up from $277 million last year.

Boehner rallies Romney supporters in brief stop
House speaker urges voters to re-elect Guinta, Bass
Republican House Speaker John Boehner made a brief stop in New Hampshire on Monday to show support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republican congressional candidates.
Boehner spoke to Romney supporters in Derry for less than five minutes, offering his thoughts on last week's debate.
"Last Wednesday night, I thought Gov. Romney did a great job," Boehner said.
Boehner said U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta needs to be re-elected, and he said former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will keep the label "former."
"The only way she's going to get that gavel is to pry it out of my stone-cold hands," Boehner said.
Boehner spent some time shaking hands and posing for pictures, but he didn't stop to answer any questions.
Outside the Romney campaign office, Democrats rallied in opposition. One person dressed as Big Bird to protest Romney's statement that he would cut funding for public television.
"Like Medicare, like Planned Parenthood, and now Big Bird is the next victim of the Romney policies," said Holly Shulman of President Barack Obama's campaign.
Boehner touched on none of those issues but did urge Romney supporters to get out the vote.
"I enjoyed his visit, and it's not what he didn't say but what he did say that counts," said Romney supporter John Potucek.
"His trip up here was to rally supporters and get them engaged," Guinta said.
After his stop in Derry, Boehner attended a quick fundraiser for Guinta and U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass before leaving for a similar event in New York.

January 11, 2013 Editorial: The Kansas City Chiefs
Sarah Smith, KMBC/KCWE President and General Manager
2012 was a difficult season for Kansas City Chiefs fans.
The team finished with a disappointing 2-14 season, and the city lost faith in a football organization that had been a bedrock of the city.
A social media group named "Save Our Chiefs" was formed, and fans took to the airwaves, Facebook and Twitter to voice their displeasure. Banners were even flown over Arrowhead Stadium to demand change.
Chiefs Nation was heard loud and clear: We wanted a team we can be proud of again!
Clark Hunt took action, and we applaud Mr. Hunt for being aggressive and innovative in his hiring of Andy Reid and changing the management structure. Coach Reid will have much more authority and will answer directly to Clark Hunt.
There's a lot of work to do, but it's a hopeful and exciting time to be a Chiefs fan again.
"We need to find our next Len Dawson," coach Reid said.
Around here, we love that comment and we wish the Chiefs the best of luck in the 2013 season.

Now, the Daily Item found a local Vine celebrity who uses his creativity to create some amazing videos and hopefully launch an illustration career.
Here's a little more about Mike Bennet:
He started making the six-second clips and posting them at vine.co/mikebennett in September and quickly made a splash in Twitter-sphere with his family-friendly videos featuring his unique cartoon characters.
Within a few short months, Bennett's work has him ranked 2,207 out of 40 million users on Vine according to rankzoo.com based on the number of followers who regularly check out his work.

Sexy couple, great photos -- Viral 'Follow Me To' project comes to Hong Kong
By Alisha Haridasani, for CNN • Updated 6th June 2014
View Gallery
8 Pictures
It's a sweltering May afternoon in Hong Kong.
In Tsim Sha Tsui, facing the city's iconic skyline, a Russian couple poses -- a slender woman with impeccable style drags her boyfriend by the hand toward the skyscrapers across the harbor.
Nearby, a hoard of journalists takes their own pictures of this couple taking pictures.
It's all for a perfect Instagram shot.
This is the couple behind, or in front of, the "Follow Me To" project.
The images of Natalia Zakharova leading her photographer boyfriend, Murad Osmann, toward exotic, picturesque locations around the globe took off last year, and
Osmann's Instagram account
now has more than 1.1 million followers.
All the images are taken in the same style: from Murad's perspective showing just his extended arm and Natalia's back against beautiful backdrops.
The project started accidentally in 2011 during a holiday in Barcelona when Natalia got frustrated with snap-happy Murad, who was pre-occupied taking pictures of the city.
"This is just a hobby," says Natalia. "We're not thinking about being famous at all."
Will Russia follow them?
Osmann and Zakharova take their creativity to Hong Kong.
courtesy harbour city
Now, the Hong Kong Tourism Board has commissioned the pair to lure more Russian tourists to the city.
Out of the 54 million tourist arrivals in Hong Kong last year, 223,664 came from Russia. That's a 20% increase from 2012.
Russians spend more than any other tourists (HK$9,258 ($1,190) per person, on average), including those from Mainland China (HK$8,937), according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
The couple have taken their signature images at some of Hong Kong's top tourist spots -- such as the Choi Hung Estate -- as part of the Tourism Board's social media campaign.
The first two images were revealed over the last week and the rest will be released one by one leading up to winter, a key travel season for Russians, explains a HK Tourism Board spokesperson.
Both Zakharova and Osmann have day jobs back in Moscow -- she's a journalist and he's a film director -- that they try to juggle with this continuously expanding project.
"It's really hard to balance our jobs and all the travel," says Murad. "We plan ahead -- we speak to the local photographers and communities for recommendations. Then we have to take weekends out.
"We have to take up to 20 dresses with us [for Natalia] to see what looks best and all the equipment. It's not an easy project -- it's not a holiday."
In future we can expect to see short travel video guides from the couple, comprising behind-the-scenes footage of the creation of each image as well as walking viewers through each destination's history and culture.
"It's not a commercial project," says Natalia. "Each city, each country has its own unique character. We love all of the places."

A Minneapolis-led effort to change state traffic laws to make it safer for bicyclists was deflated by both Republicans and DFLers in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
The Senate Transportation and Public Safety Committee tabled two bike-related bills on Feb. 20, allowing their sponsor, Sen. Kari Dziedzic (DFL-60), to make changes and possibly include the bills in an omnibus bill later this spring.
"I think there was an anticipation this was kind of easy one, and I think folks weren't clear about what were the implications of the bill," said Minneapolis City Council Member Elizabeth Glidden (Ward 8), who chairs the Council's Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
The bills would do two things: Make it illegal for vehicles to stop or park in designated bike lanes and to clarify state law to give bicyclists the right of way when a vehicle is trying to make a right-hand turn across a bike lane.
The bill to make illegal parking or stopping in a bike lane drew concerns from both suburban DFLers and rural Republicans.
Sen. Jeremy Miller (R-28) said parking near Winona State University is already tight and people sometimes have to park on bike lanes.
"I'm an avid biker myself. I like the concept, but I can tell you that this will not work in Winona and several other of the small communities that I represent," Miller said. "I would more for allowing our local communities to make that decision."
Miller offered an amendment to make the bill only applicable in Hennepin County, but that drew concern from newly elected Sen. Melisa Franzen, an Edina DFLer.
"I need to understand how this impacts the areas I represent," said Franzen, whose Edina district is inside Hennepin County.
Before that amendment could be voted on, Dziedzic tabled her bill.
Committee members also raised concerns about people getting ticketed without understanding the new rules. Cities, under the bill, would not need to post "no parking" signs near bike lanes, so a motorist could get ticketed for parking on a street that is not labeled "no parking."
Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-61) is the chair of the committee and said he wants a statewide bill, not one that is unique to Minneapolis or Hennepin County.
"I think what's at the root of this discussion is whether bikes should be recognized as a fully equal user of city streets, especially where we have designated bike lanes," Dibble said.
Dibble, who is a bicyclist, said the major concern in Minneapolis is that delivery drivers and others will sometimes double park in a bike lane to make a short trip, causing a bicyclist to have to swerve out into traffic. Most bike lanes in Minneapolis allow parking inside of the lane — the bill wouldn't change that.
"It defeats the whole purpose of the bike lane when cars are just sitting there in the bike lane," Dibble said.
The bills are the result of a city-led push for several changes to traffic laws. Among the changes Minneapolis is seeking is a bill to allow cities to lower their speed limit below 30 mph on certain streets. No legislator has introduced such a proposal this session, however.
The House Transportation Policy Committee was scheduled to hear the bills on Feb. 26. Rep. Phyllis Kahn (DFL-60B) authored the House bills.

A Reunion 32 Years In The Making
Michelle "B" hadn't seen her father Michael in nearly 32 years, but she never stopped dreaming about a reunion. She kept searching for him even when things seemed hopeless.
During the 1990s Michelle heard about a new online service called a people search. One website claimed to provide current contact information for most anyone in the United States. It seemed like the fastest way to find her father. She gave it a try.
After spending a large amount of time and money, Michelle was no closer to finding her father than when she began. The site she used provided more than 100 pages of data, but not the information she actually needed.
Michelle contacted the people who ran the site and requested a focused list of people who matched her search criteria. They weren't able to help. It was time for a new strategy.
Second-Hand People Search
Despite the disappointment, Michelle remained determined. After a little more detective work she located her grandmother, but even that didn't put her any closer to finding her dad. She decided to search for other relatives who might be able to help.
Eventually, Michelle heard of a website called PeopleFinders.com. She visited the site and found some useful information from the free people search preview, but after her bad luck with other sites was hesitant to order a complete report.
Despite her reservations, Michelle finally decided to try another people search. She returned to PeopleFinders.com and entered her father's name. The results were encouraging, so she ordered a report and requested a PDF copy via email. As she looked at the report, she found information for three people. Among them was her father.
Years of searching, hundreds of dead-ends, and then finally, she had what she needed. Michelle wrote her father immediately and told him she wanted to make contact. She urged him not to let another day go by without them reconnecting. She concluded that she just wanted them to get to know each other without the shadow of the past looming overhead.
Short Wait
When Michelle mailed her letter, she still wasn't certain it would find the intended recipient. She waited anxiously, but not for long. A few days later her phone rang. It was her father calling.
A jubilant father and daughter laughed, shared stories and made plans to meet in person. Michael was excited to learn that he has four grandsons, and can't wait to make up for lost time. Their family reunion is planned for the fall.
A Beautiful Letter
At PeopleFinders we love hearing from people who reconnected with someone from their past with help from our services. Michelle took the time to write us a very touching letter, and we couldn't be happier for her and her family.
In the letter, Michelle writes: "I did not expect to find him for $2.90. Everyone may not have the same success but it is definitely worth the try. Thank you for making this so easy after all of the extensive searching I have done on my own and all of the disappointment. I don't know how I would have found him without you."
Michelle shared her story in the hopes of showing others that it's never too late to reconnect. She also reminded us why we do what we do: to help people find family, friends and anyone else.
Do you have someone you've been missing? It's time to reunite. Visit PeopleFinders today and create your own happy ending. We thank Michelle for sharing her story, and thank you for reading the PeopleFinders People Search blog.Tags: Find People, reconnect, Relatives, Reunion
