I have found that the principal is the biggest factor in a schools performance.
Excellent teachers will excel, good teacher get better and the poor teachers get up or get out.
My son goes to such a school, given a presidential blue ribbon award. It is a broad spectrum of very poor ( as in homeless) to upper middle class kids and they all do very well. They often meet or beat the performance of the GATE schools in the district. The principal expects 100% from herself, the teachers, the kids, and most importantly the parents. And she get it cheerfully.
Well, from the kids anyway, some of parents are shitheads.
Oh, and read to your kids, every night. My 9 year old still looks forward to it every night.
If he is in college, and wants me or mom to read over the phone, I will damn well do it. They are the most rare moments in life when you have their rapt attention.
So, what do you think of Gingrich, who you describe as King, criminal, mental patient, and "historian", and his plan to return to the Moon and go to mars?
Both the NEX and the A33/55/77 come from the Mind of Minolta.
The A series takes the Minolta lenses directly and the NEX will with an adapter ring. That gives you access to some of the best optics made for reasonable prices off Craigslist. The iconic "beer can" zoom and the 1.8 50mm Primary come to mind
If I were traveling light, the NEX is one of the best available right now in the consumer range.
While I love the a33, it is not a stick in your pocket camera.
I think what they are suggesting is that If Zuckerberg had put the concept of Facebook into an undergrad paper and the work was subsequently ingested by this service he might have a hard time defending the copyright at a later date.
What I cannot understand is how any professor worthy of the name cannot read a paper and not know immediately where an idea came from and if it is plagiarized from a major source.
My first degree came from San Jose State and none of the professors there could not glance over a paper and tell you were the student got the idea from and if it was worded close to the source. Do you really think as an undergrad you are going to uncover some nugget or idea a professor has not read from the primary source, discussed with is peers or read in the hundreds of papers in the past?
And, if by some chance you do write something they have not read a million times, they are going to track it down, it looks like a raised nail to them.. They gotta pound it down.
Modern instructors like the ones at UoP are not that encyclopedic in their subject matters, they are not actual professors. They definely crutch on tools like Turnitin. I know from knowing several instructors and getting my second degree from UoP.
It was very handy in tracking down bullshit from other students in the group papers.
Quite frankly, that is the most realistic and instructive part of the UoP experience. In every team there are one or two that do the work, one or two that try to help if you tell them exactly what to do, and one that freeloads off everyone else... Just like a real professional office.
(Please do not troll with some test that produces evidence for one of above theories. For example, the only way to independently test the big bang would be to recreate the universe. Using an atom smasher to create a model doesn't cut it.)
Glad you see it that way and agree with the OP. All the data for global warming is exactly that: a model.
Quite frankly, strength is not the major concern with bikes.
Rigidity is the quality that most important. Very rigid bikes are too harsh to ride, very flexible ones are unstable, unresponsive and inefficient.
Achieving a balance is the art in making a true fantastic bike. Rigid side to side for power transfer and more flexible on the z-axis for reasonable comfort is usually the holy grail.
Until the Vatican II, the RCC did not accept any path to Salvation save through the Church. If you were not Catholic, you were "going to hell."
Thus, the word "blasphemy", a "sin against faith" as described by St. Aquinas, fits as a description of an act that is heresy. To wit: "Pertinacious adhesion to a doctrine contradictory to a point of faith clearly defined by the Church is heresy pure and simple, heresy in the first degree."
Perhaps the word "heresy" would have been clearer. Heresy is the idea, blasphemy is the act.
Thank God (ahem) we live in a country where such things can be discussed and there is no State sponsored religion to come knocking at my door.
In re-reading my comment, it may seem that I am referring to all prayer. I am not. I am referring to pray to obtain, very specifically, confession and absolution. That is, after all, what the app is about.

It is not a random comment from "teh interwebs".
What has been recognized, and no longer considered blasphemy, is that those outside the Catholic Church (for example, Protestants) could be forgiven by God directly.
Here is your reference, a priest is required to perform confession. From the 2nd Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1424 It is called the sacrament of confession, since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.
It is called the sacrament of forgiveness, since by the priest's sacramental absolution God grants the penitent "pardon and peace."6
It is called the sacrament of Reconciliation, because it imparts to the sinner the love of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God."7 He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother."
1486 The forgiveness of sins committed after Baptism is conferred by a particular sacrament called the sacrament of conversion, confession, penance, or reconciliation.

So I guess the proof would be that they do exist, but only if you don't observe one.
Tell that to those who died in Lockerbie.
I was going to say, not much bigger than an M20 bazooka if was 100mm caliber.
So they made a laser guided rpg.... Big deal.
Instead it is more like gene Simmons gun in Runaway.
Gene Simmons, Kirstie alley, Tom Selleck and crazy robots, what is there not to love!
I gave up when someone who looks like RMS's little brother called someone else "wiggy" (paranoid)
So, what do you think of Gingrich, who you describe as King, criminal, mental patient, and "historian", and his plan to return to the Moon and go to mars?
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU.......!!!!
The Aliens released a statement through their spokesman, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos:
Psychics do not exist. We bred it out of the human race a long time ago.
Also, Flock of Seagulls is the best band Evah!
Small ships will reach all of the major US population centers. LA, NY, DC, Miami, CHicago, SF bay and likely never even be noticed.
Chicago is the only one even reasonable difficult to hit with that method because of the inspections at the locks.
Missiles not required, just a few people willing to blow themselves up.
Something they do not seem to have any shortage of in Iran.

Not really.
It has been very volatile lately, going up and down several dollars for no real reason.
I am on calls 2 or 3 times a month where she is also on the call. She seems well liked by the technical side of the house and is very approachable.
Won't catch me calling her Ginnie, I stick to ma'am and Sir for VP's and above if we are on the clock.
Better her than some other female execs we have.
Tin soldiers and Bloomberg coming, Four dead in the SOHO...
You might have it backwards.

Hard to say,as the original idea was a bit vague.

And it is subject to Garbage In, Garbage Out.
See here: http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/04/07/climate-models-go-cold/
for the explanation why the models have been so off base.
However, there is an independently testable case for Earth: Mars
Totally lacking in humans, with more hard data about the ice caps than Earth's ice caps, you can look at drawings made since Newton's time.
Mars has shrinking icecaps and no humans. Therefore humans are not the primary cause.
But it does not match the climate scientist "narrative" so it is not discussed.
Only if you open the box...
We are from the Government, and we are here to help.

And yet, as I have posted elsewhere, it is very clear that you must be absolved by a priest.

When we are talking a t5240 or a M5000, so what? Fraction of the total cost, especial for an Oracle RAC cluster.
Even @$1000 per port, gimme 2, I will use the bandwidth. Hell, gimme 4 on the M5000, eventually they will use it.
Problem is for CISCO, companies that need that bandwidth are too few to drive their revenue model.
Yeah, except in companies where shared passwords are not allowed, including root.
This.
