The past 24 hours have me dizzying again. An amazing day was spent at SEA WORLD yesterday, where Ashley Simpson was to perform. A manegerie of young girls and boys were lined up since daylight broke to get into her free concert. First come, first serve. People watching was at an all time high as my head rotated back and forth to see the mall kids smile big.
I didn't end up eating to much junk food, which was probably a blessing in disguise. The only sour part of the Sea World experience was the way I dressed for the day. I'm not sure what the hell I was thinking, but I had black pants on and dress shoes. Why? I was burning up and the perspiration was on full blast.
Luckily we went to the penguin exhibit and my body was able to cool down a few degrees. We saw SHAMU(the Killer Whale), went to the Haunted Lighthouse, got soaked on water rides, and battled the bright sun. We took off at around 6 PM and the girls dropped me off in front of the club. To Stephanie and Michele:Thanks for the fun day and for picking me up from the airport. You are very sweet. The both of you.
Back to the club! Unfortunately there was nobody to let me into the club, so I sat outside for about 40 minutes and then a kind man named Ben showed up to open up and greeted me with a smile and then gave me a water. How did he know I was thirsty. What a kind soul.
The club was really nice and had this middle patio area where you could smoke cigarettes and get some fresh air. The weather was incredible. Seriously perfect. The show was fun, but there's something wrong with my head right now. I just can't think straight and the excitement of playing is completely gone from my soul. Uggghh... It's killing me.
I would have much rathered gone to the Ashley Simpson concert and screamed my head off in the silliness of it all. Teen phenoms are hilarious, but good fun. And that in itself is scary. So what's wrong with me? Oh well. I'll be coming back home tomorrow and have three weeks off. Time for meditation and clarity. Wish me luck. Hope you are doing well.


You are very welcome, Good to hear you are enjoying your new truck.
You are very welcome. My wife will never drive my truck, but loves her Tahoe. Maybe rent a Tahoe for the weekend and have her be the primary driver, stuff her purse in the center console, put down the rear two rows of seats to compare interior space for work, let the kids sit everywhere to explore the space, and use the right pedal to merge onto the freeway, the rig will sell itself.
Just curious, where are the controls (buttons) for On Star functions in your truck?
Welcome to the site and congratulations! Black K2"s always look awesome!
The wife went from a loaded 2014 4-Runner Limited to her 2016 Tahoe, and would not even think about going back to the small SUV's. She did look at the same year Sequoia's, drove one overnight and did not like it at all, liked her 4-Runner better. Problem with both was gas mileage, and so far outdated on technology and design compared to the Tahoe (LTZ). Don't think you can go wrong with the big GM SUV's.
From the website, options: Bose® sound system Available 6 speakers 7-speakers with subwoofer when ordered with bucket seats Enjoy clear, true sound reproduction with this premium system Bose® is renowned for expert sound engineering and high-quality audio and with premium speakers positioned throughout the cabin, you'll get rich, concert-like sound *May require additional optional equipment.
Found this, will do some more searching: Available packages include: (bench seat) a premium Bose system, complete with 6 high-performance speakers and Active Sound Management; (bucket seats) a premium Bose system with 7 high-performance speakers, including a Richbass woofer, and Active Sound Management.
Very nice mod! Part number, price?
Congratulations, and welcome to the site!!! I like the Jeep (Willys?) across the street, pretty cool looking.
Welcome to the site. Did you buy the truck new? I would check with your dealer and see if there has been any updates (TSB's) done to the truck. There are a few post on here about trucks being stuck in 4WD and the owners not knowing about, and other problems with the system.
Welcome to the site! Did your truck happen to be CPO? If it was your warranty is extended past the normal 36/36.
Here is my 2014. 6.2, 6 speed with a 3.42 rear end. It was a pretty quick truck.
If you take it in, I am sure you will hear, "functioning as designed". I think it is just normal for these seats.
You are very welcome. Not my old truck, I know which town it is in Washington state.
Where do you go to see if your VIN is involved? Or is that a total for all vehicle's sold during that period?
Had Cooper Discoverer on two prior trucks, good price and a really good tire for the 20" rims.
fog lights on when in auto high beam mode???
You are very welcome. At the top of this page you will see different tabs, click on the Silverado/Sierra Mods tab, the link is at the bottom of page #4.
Do not think so, it is set up from the factory like that. Right there with you though, it would be nice to be able to use the fog lights with the function turned on. Maybe post this question in the "What would you like to see Pgamboa do next". Best bet on how to figure this out.
Welcome to the site. Great looking truck, looks exactly like the 14 that I had. Where are you located?


Supastition is putting together a monthly series called Solitaire, where he will release a song that he alone produces, writes, records, and does the graphic design for.
For the most part, I don't mess around with these series type projects because they are hard to keep up with, but I do appreciate the entire discography of Supastition. So I am going to give this one a go.
On Thanks, Ghost, Supa pays homage to Ghostface Killah's storytelling ability while narrating a couple of his own. He flips on a couple of events that occurred in his life while listening to tracks from the Wu-Tang vet. Pretty clever if you ask me.
Take a listen and pass it on!

Doubling revenue 3 years running for DMV.org
Putting A/B testing to the test with an integrated optimization program
Optimized conversion: Revenue per visitor
Solution: Integrated optimization program
Website: http://www.dmv.org/
Case study: DMV Case Study PDF
Going to your state's Department of Motor Vehicles can be confusing, complicated and downright frustrating. That's where DMV.org helps, by providing useful information to simplify the DMV experience: More than 200 million visitors a year look up information on how to register a car, get a driver's license, learn more about speeding tickets and so on.
"We empower people in their DMV experience by putting them in control," says Shane Hale, director of site optimization and conversion at DMV.org. This non-government content-driven site provides information about motor vehicle tasks in all 50 states and provides a simplified experience with the DMV across the country.
The thousands of pages of content customized for drivers in each state were fertile ground for a rapid testing optimization program.
With Widerfunnel's support, the company has built a world-class optimization program that has consistently lifted their revenue. In fact, for three years running, the program has doubled their revenue on their highest revenue products compounded each year. At the same time, we've been able to build a framework of customer insights that continue to deliver top results.
The business need: Increased revenue per visitor
The DMV.org website earns revenue through performance-based advertising on their content pages. When visitors purchase a product like car insurance through DMV.org's partners, the partner pays DMV.org a referral fee.
For example, on one of the license renewal information pages, a banner within the content offers visitors an opportunity to check car insurance rates. See below.
Because DMV.org is only paid when there's a transaction, they had an opportunity to use conversion optimization to directly lift their revenue per visitor – and greatly impact their business.
The company's wide breadth of information and high monthly visitor volume meant that there was tons of potential for optimization. But, the company also knew there were risks if their conversion optimization program wasn't built the right way.
Challenges faced: Limited staff, unreliable experiment results
DMV.org faced several challenges when they reached out to WiderFunnel. They only had a one-person optimization team.
Their A/B testing relied on a cobbled-together technology stack using Optimizely combined with an advertising server and Adobe SiteCatalyst for revenue reporting, leading to mismatched data and unreliable results.
Most challenging of all, however, was a lack of conversion strategy. The team used what Hale described as a "hunt and peck system" that didn't create momentum, useful insights, or sustained revenue lift from their efforts.
"We knew there were inefficiencies, but didn't know how far off we were or what to do about it. We didn't know if we had good findings or how to make decisions. Too many times we made decisions based on emotion."
DMV.org needed a better program design and more expertise added to the team to drive consistent optimization results.
The solution: A best-in-class optimization program
WiderFunnel did more than just run a few A/B tests for DMV.org: The teams worked together to develop an integrated long-term optimization program that consistently delivers both revenue lift and customer insights.
The most advanced organizations view optimization as an ongoing strategy. It's not a one-time project and it doesn't have an end point where the company's experiences are "optimized." WiderFunnel's Infinity Optimization Process shows how this works for companies like DMV.org.
The Infinity Optimization Process
The process cycles between two distinct phases: Explore and Validate. The two phases support each other, and need each other to succeed. See the next page for an illustration of the process.
Explore is expansive, where the source of new ideas is explored. Validate is reductive; ideas are A/B tested to prove their value. The nucleus in the middle, where the two phases meet, is where Growth and Insights are revealed.
WiderFunnel's Infinity Optimization Process shows how the Explore and Validate phases work together to produce growth and insights.
In the Explore phase, the team gathers insights about the business and customers through many different sources: stakeholder interviews, user testing, web analytics and other voice-of-customer analyses.
In this phase, the team also considers publicly-known persuasion principles and internal patterns within the test archive. This is an expansive phase, where all options are considered, whether they are minor usability tweaks or dramatic concepts that challenge the business.
All that data-gathering is centered around WiderFunnel's framework for understanding the customer's conversion barriers and persuasion opportunities – the LIFT Model™.
The LIFT Model shows the six conversion factors that are impacting every organization's conversion rates. It encourages optimization experts to see their marketing experiences through the eyes of their prospects.
Once the team has a good basis for understanding the context and customer, the process moves into the Validate phase. Here, the optimization team designs experiments to find out which of the insights apply to the company's business context.
The team prioritizes experiments using the PIE framework, develops powerful hypotheses, creates the experimental design to maximize insight-validation, and runs full-service A/B tests.
The Validate phase is a rapid A/B testing cycle where new inputs from Explore are fed into the experiment plans.
The most important final step in the cycle, the results analysis, is where the live experiment data shows how the team's predictions played out in real life. New insights from these experiments are fed into following experiment sprints and back into the Explore phase.
For DMV.org, the Explore and Validate cycles have produced an ongoing series of profitable and interesting insights. Those insights are what WiderFunnel calls 'A-ha!' Moments.
The following pages show just a few of the many A/B tests that have delivered 'A-ha!' Moments for DMV.org.
The result: Two years of doubled revenue – and heading for a third
The work DMV.org and Widerfunnel have done together has had amazing results. By supplementing the internal team with WiderFunnel's full service partnership, DMV.org is now running 500 controlled web and mobile experiments per year, spread across the internal and WiderFunnel teams.
A/B Test: How persuasive is relevance?
Most insurance companies assume their rates are the most important thing to customers. It should be no surprise, then, that most ads reference rates. Who can forget the famous Geico ad tagline? You know, the one about saving 15%.
One of the benefits of DMV.org's service, which offers multiple insurance providers, is comparing quotes to find the best deal. The insurance banner with this message looked like this:
Original banner with compare quotes message.
In testing many different iterations, we discovered that the rates are important, but rate isn't the only important factor. The relevance of the message is also important.
We constructed an A/B test where one of the variations referenced the visitor's intent on the page. On an informational page about car registration, we added a lead-in message saying "Registering a car?", then followed with "It's a good time to check car insurance rates."
The winning banner featured a relevance message and led to a 14% revenue lift.
That change improved the relevance of the message and produced a 14% revenue lift across all content pages with this banner.
Insight: Boosting relevance can produce large revenue lift.
A/B Test: Does regional personalization increase relevance?
If referencing the visitor's page intent creates a more relevant experience and higher revenue, then what if we pushed relevance even further? Widerfunnel has tested personalized experiences in many different scenarios and found the results to be variable. We were curious to see whether geographic personalization would work in this situation.
In one experiment, we discovered that adding a line under the zip code field saying "Get quotes from the top providers in [State]" lifted revenue by 3.9%.
The Control didn't have a caption under the field.
Adding a geographic relevance caption lifted revenue by 3.9%.
If such a simple change can lead to that much of a revenue lift, what would happen if we added geographic relevance even more dramatically?
In a follow-up test, we changed the headline,comparing one saying that "1,972,984 Americans" had used the site to research auto insurance rates and another saying that "372,751 Californians" (for visitors from California) had researched rates.
In this case, the result showed the state-specific (e.g. "Californians") headline decreased revenue by 5.4%!
The non-personalized banner worked better in this case.
Adding a state-specific headline reduced revenue by 5.4%.
But, there's more to this story. After digging into the results at a state-specific level, we discovered significant variance in which states responded better to state-specific messaging. Washington state, at the high end, showed a 67.3% revenue lift when their state was mentioned, yet Oregon (right next door!), showed a 56.2% decrease! See the chart to the right.
These comparisons between states are not statistically significant yet, but this results analysis raises some interesting new questions that can lead to further experiment hypotheses.
The geographic personalization provided other insights as well. We ran another test including the word "please" in the field label and found that there was a geographic association with response: Some states responded better to the label saying "Please Enter Your Zip" than others.
Insight: Geography influences people's message perception. (Also, are some states more polite than others?)
A/B Test: Things your designer would never recommend
We also tested the impact of changing images, focusing on a mini-banner asking visitors to enter their ZIP codes to get insurance rate estimates.
Widerfunnel and DMV.org ran tests on various images on the banner, including an animated GIF of a fender-bender, a photo of a dog driving a car, a photo of a sad-looking driver, and a banner that had no image but was shaped like a car.
This car-shaped banner swept the competition.
The testing team, including the designer responsible for creating the variations, weren't sure about that last variation, the car-shaped one. The design was out of left field and some thought it was a waste of traffic to test it.
They were wrong. The car-shaped banner increased the product click through rate by an amazing 89.6% (compared with less than 10% ranges for the other options), which led to a revenue per visitor increase of 74.92%.
Insight: Reserve a portion of your variations for "left field" variations — you might be surprised.
A/B Test: Does a flashy page get results?
On the insurance results pages, we made an effort to reduce noise. Traditional insurance results pages have logos on the left with bullet points differentiating their services. Through our testing, we learned that eliminating the noise worked.
Control: Insurance results page.
We tested a less noisy results page.
People understand the brands and don't need to be oversold. We tested a noisy version against an optimized, less noisy page. The optimized page won by 40%.
Insight: Reducing content in a highly branded category can increase conversion rates.
As a result of these tests and others, DMV.org has doubled revenue two years in a row, and a single A/B test — the car-shaped mini-banner — will likely make it three years in a row. But, for many people, there's an outstanding question about conversion optimization that we wanted to answer.
Do the results stick?
Our long-term working relationship has made it possible to determine whether these results are sustainable. At the six-month mark, DMV.org and Widerfunnel calculated a cumulative multiplied 32.8% lift in revenue. This impressive lift total raised the question: Are these results sticky?
To test this question, the Widerfunnel team used DMV.org's original control page from before the first test and A/B tested it against the latest winning variation.
The A/B test of the original Control page against the 6-month winner showed a 36.8% lift.
This result was within the same statistical range as the calculated lift.
In other words, the numbers held, proving that these improvements were sustainable.
We didn't stop there. We also verified the results at the end of 12 months…
…and again at 24 months.
This rigorous verification proves that the revenue lift from our A/B testing is not temporary. In fact, the results are, so far, permanent.
Not only is DMV.org getting insights into what works, it's building a long-term conversion strategy that it will continue to refine and develop in the coming years.
It isn't just the tests themselves that have made this partnership a success. DMV.org wanted Widerfunnel to be an extension of its own company, and that's what happened — we're an integrated team that shares its knowledge so DMV.org can build its own expertise and improve its internal processes for future testing.

Q: window.beforeunload called twice in Firefox - how to get around this? I'm creating a popup window that has a beforeunload handler installed. When the "Close" file menu item is used to close the popup, the beforeunload handler is called twice, resulting in two "Are you sure you want to close this window?" messages appearing.
This is a bug with Firefox, and I've reported it here, but I still would like a way to prevent this from happening. Can you think of a sane way of detecting double beforeunload to prevent the double message problem? The problem is that Firefox doesn't tell me which button in the dialog the user elected to click - OK or cancel.

A: <script type="text/javascript">
var onBeforeUnloadFired = false;

window.onbeforeunload = function ()
{
    if (!onBeforeUnloadFired) {
        onBeforeUnloadFired = true;
        event.returnValue = "You have attempted to leave this page.  If you have made any changes to the fields without clicking the Save button, your changes will be lost.  Are you sure you want to exit this page?";
   }

   window.setTimeout("ResetOnBeforeUnloadFired()", 10);
}

function ResetOnBeforeUnloadFired() {
   onBeforeUnloadFired = false;
}
</script>

A: Set a variable in the handler to prevent the dialog coming up the second time. Use setTimeout to reset it afterwards.

A: This is definitely a FF bug. I've reported it at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531199

A: The best solution I've found is to use a flag global variable that is reset after so many milliseconds, say 500 (this ensures that the function can be called again, but not immediately after its appearance).
See last code in:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointinfopath/thread/13000cd8-5c50-4260-a0d2-bc404764966d

A: I've found this problem in Chrome 21, Firefox 14, IE 7-9, Safari 5 (on PC).
The following works on all of these browsers.  If one removes the window.onbeforeunload function during the event this will prevent the second call.  The trick is to reset the window.onbeforeunload function if the user decides to stay on the page.
var window_on_before_unload = function(e) {
    var msg;
    // Do here what you ever you need to do
    msg = "Message for user";

    // Prevent next "window.onbeforeunload" from re-running this code.
    // Ensure that if the user decides to stay on the page that
    // this code is run the next time the user tries to leave the page.
    window.onbeforeunload = set_on_before_unload;

    // Prepare message for user
    if (msg) {
        if (/irefox\/([4-9]|1\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent))
            alert(msg
                    + '\n\nThe next dialog will allow you to stay here or continue\nSee Firefox bug #588292');

        (e = e || window.event).returnValue = msg;
        return msg;
    }
};

// Set window.onbeforeunload to the above handler.
// @uses window_on_before_unload
// @param {Event} e
var set_on_before_unload = function(e) {
    // Initialize the handler for window.onbeforeunload.
    window.onbeforeunload = window_on_before_unload;
}

// Initialize the handler for window.onbeforeunload.
set_on_before_unload();

A: Create a global variable that is set to true inside the handler. Only show the alert/popup when this variable is false.

A: I use the following snippet to track the exitcount
When the page loads the following variable exitCount is initialized
if (typeof(MTG) == 'undefined') MTG = {};
MTG.exitCount=0;

and in the Window unload event
$(window).bind("beforeunload", function(){

            if (MTG.exitCount<=0)
            {

                             //do your thing, save etc
            }
            MTG.exitCount++;

});

A: I've found that instead of doing your own call to confirm(), just do even.preventDefault(); within the beforeunload event. Firefox throws up its own confirm dialog.
I'm not sure if this is the correct/standard thing to do, but that's how they're doing it.

A: I have a document opening another popup window with window.open. In the original window I have registered (with jquery) a listener for "unload" event like this:
var popup_window = window.open(...)
$(popup_window).on('unload', function(event) ...

I have came across this page because the event was effectively triggering twice. What I have found is that it is not a bug, it triggers twice because it fires once for "about:blank" page being replaced by your page and another for your page being unloaded.
All I have to do is to filter the event that I am interested in by querying the original event:
function (event) {
   var original_url = e.originalEvent.originalTarget.URL;
   if (original_url != 'about:blank')
   {
       ... do cool things ...
   }
}

I don't know if this applies to the original question, because it is a special case of a window opening another, but I hope it helps.

      # ==== OPTIONS
      # * :bias - This option makes the Google Geocoder return results biased to a particular
      #           country or viewport. Country code biasing is achieved by passing the ccTLD
      #           ('uk' for .co.uk, for example) as a :bias value. For a list of ccTLD's,
      #           look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CcTLD. By default, the geocoder
      #           will be biased to results within the US (ccTLD .com).
      #
      #           If you'd like the Google Geocoder to prefer results within a given viewport,
      #           you can pass a Geokit::Bounds object as the :bias value.

      # # By default, the geocoder will return Syracuse, NY
      # Geokit::Geocoders::GoogleGeocoder.geocode('Syracuse').country_code # => 'US'

Q: how to separate two variables I have this codes,and my problem is that the image and the text appears in one div. How can I separate the text and display it to another div while the image appears also on another div. but still when i reload the page, image 1 will correspond to text 1.same with image 2 it should also appear with text 2.

<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Random Text Plus Image</title>

and updated code from comments:
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <meta charset=utf-8 />
        <title>Random Text Plus Image</title>

A: document.getElementById("quote").innerHTML =
'

' + quote.text + '

' +
'<dic>
';

A: Not sure why you would change it from the first data structure that made more sense, but the issue you have is you are generating two different numbers!
var img = ["image1.jpg", "image2.jpg"];
var text= ['text1','text2'];
var img = img[Math.floor(Math.random() * img.length)]; //random number 1
var text = text[Math.floor(Math.random() * text.length)];   //random number 2
document.getElementById("img").innerHTML = '
'+ text + '
'+ '';

It should be something like
var img = ["image1.jpg", "image2.jpg"];
var text= ['text1','text2'];
var ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * img.length);
var img = img[ranNum];
var text = text[ranNum];
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = '
'+ text + '
';
document.getElementById("img").innerHTML = '';

Tokyo Electric Power : TeaM Energy gets top grade for good governance
MANILA, PhilippinesTeaM Energy Corp., a partnership between Japanese firms Tokyo Electric Power Co. and Marubeni Corp., received the highest rating from Integrity Initiative (II), a private-led effort to promote good governance, transparent business transactions and implement strict integrity standard in the Philippines.In a statement, TeaM Energy said it was given an Advanced rating after an external validation audit conducted by the II.The audit covers the internal and external business processes of the power firm in dealing with employees and external stakeholders including government regulators and host communities."With the Advanced rating given by the Integrity Initiative, we are only one of 14 private firms in the Philippines to receive such a distinction from among over 2,600 signatories to the integrity pledge," TeaM Energy chairman and CEO John Alcordo said.Beginning in 2010, the II is a private sector organization formed by the Makati Business Club (MBC) and European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ECCP) which reviews and validates the ethical business practices of private and public entities with the intention of uplifting ethical standards among private companies and government institutions.Under the II audit, TeaM Energy scored a total of 270 points, well within the 223 to 296 points required in order to be recognized at the advanced level by the II.element-invisibleBusiness ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1The advanced rating shows that TeaM Energy is doing its share in promoting a culture of business integrity which helps the country improve its global competitiveness in order to attract new investments, Alcordo said."We wish to thank the Integrity Initiative for recognizing our efforts at further improving our corporate governance efforts. By participating in this, we are helping promote the Philippines as a desired venue for investments not only in the energy sector, but for various industries as well," he said."As our company deals regularly with various stakeholders including partners in government both at the local and national levels, it is important that all our dealings are conducted with the highest of ethical standards in mind," Alcordo said.TeaM Energy is one of the largest independent power producers in the country, with more than 2,000 megawatts (MW) of installed generating capacity nationwide, namely the 735-MW Pagbilao Power Station in Quezon and the 1,218-MW Sual Power Station in Pangasinan.It also has a 20 percent stake in the 1,200 MW natural gas-fired plant in Ilijan, Batangas.© Pakistan Press International, source Asianet-Pakistan

Cookies, web pixels, web beacons or other technologies we or others place via your Internet browser
3. PI we collect
The types of PI we collect include your name, company name, shipping/mailing address, billing address, telephone number and e-mail address. TABLE 1, below, outlines the categories of PI we collect.
4. How we use PI
We may use the PI we collect as shown in TABLE 1, below. This includes:
To perform a contract with you: For example, where you have ordered or requested products or services from us, we use your contact details and payment information to process your order and deliver the products or services to you.
To communicate with you. For example, we may contact you to respond to your inquiry or complaint. We may also contact you directly or through a third-party service provider regarding products or services you purchased from us, such as necessary transactional or service related communications. We may also contact you with offers for additional services we think you may find valuable if you give us consent, or where allowed based upon legitimate interests. These contacts may include via e-mail, text (SMS) messages, telephone calls or automated phone calls or text messages.
With your consent: For example, where you have provided PI to us to complete a survey or access secured content. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [info@qosina.com or info@qosmedix.com].
Our legitimate business interests: For example, where it is necessary for us to understand our customers, enhance and promote our goods, products and services and operate effectively as an international distributer of various products. Our legitimate business interests may include creating and publicizing new products and services, and offering our customers a better experience. We may perform analytics as necessary to provide you with a tailored experience and so that we can improve, maintain and manage our products and services in a way that meets your expectations as a customer.

We do not disclose your PI to third parties, except:
To vendors, service providers and other entities with whom we have a business relationship to provide products and services for and on behalf of us, such as processing credit card payments, communicating with you, including by way of e-mail or survey delivery, or for customer relationship management. We restrict these third parties by contract from utilizing, sharing or retaining your PI for any purpose other than for which they have been contracted.

We follow generally accepted standards to safeguard the PI we collect, both during transmission and once received and stored, including encryption where appropriate. PI you submit through the Sites is encrypted with secure server software (SSL) that encodes the information before your browser software sends it to us. The SSL software decodes the data only after it reaches our server, meaning that your data will be encrypted were hackers to intercept it while in transit. Once it reaches our server, your PI will be protected by the same security software we use to safeguard our essential business data of similar nature.

Administrators LEAD & MANAGE MY SCHOOL
Character Education…Our Shared Responsibility
Throughout time, societies have recognized the need to educate the coming generation of adults to pass on knowledge and skills. Recorded history from long before the present era emphasizes that education must also develop character.
One of the great education reformers, Horace Mann, in the 1840s, helped to improve instruction in classrooms nationwide, advocating that character development was as important as academics in American schools. The United States Congress, recognizing the importance of this concept, authorized the Partnerships in Character Education Program in 1994. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 renews and re-emphasizes this tradition—and substantially expands support for it. Indeed, one of the six goals of the Department of Education is to "promote strong character and citizenship among our nation's youth" (Strategic Plan 2002-2007). To reach this goal, the Department of Education joins with state education agencies and school districts across our country to provide vital leadership and support to implement character education.
Within the character of the citizen lies the welfare of the nation.
— Cicero
What is character education?
Throughout history, character education has been the shared responsibility of parents, teachers and members of the community, who come together to support positive character development.
...nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue.
Character education teaches the habits of thought and deed that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities and nations.
Character education is a learning process that enables students and adults in a school community to understand, care about and act on core ethical values such as respect, justice, civic virtue and citizenship, and responsibility for self and others. Upon such core values, we form the attitudes and actions that are the hallmark of safe, healthy and informed communities that serve as the foundation of our society.
What is the school's role in character education?
Students spend much of their young lives in classrooms. This time in school is an opportunity to explain and reinforce the core values upon which character is formed.
In school, character education must be approached comprehensively to include the emotional, intellectual and moral qualities of a person or group. It must offer multiple opportunities for students to learn about, discuss and enact positive social behaviors. Student leadership and involvement are essential for character education to become a part of a student's beliefs and actions.
To successfully implement character education, schools are encouraged to:
Take a leadership role to bring the staff, parents and students together to identify and define the elements of character they want to emphasize;
Provide training for staff on how to integrate character education into the life and culture of the school;
Form a vital partnership with parents and the community so that students hear a consistent message about character traits essential for success in school and life; and
Provide opportunities for school leaders, teachers, parents and community partners to model exemplary character traits and social behaviors.
State education agencies, through a collaborative community process, have chosen to incorporate character education into their school improvement plans and state standards. Some states have chosen to implement character education through official state policies such as the Michigan State Board of Education Policy on Quality Character Education. Many schools have chosen to incorporate character education into their plans for Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities.
From state to state, the following are common threads in character education agendas:
Involvement of the whole community in designing and implementing character education for its schools; and
Commitment to making character education an integral part of the education process.
Federal resources and support for character education
The United States Congress and the Department of Education have expanded support for character education for more than a decade, enabling schools across our nation to implement character education in a variety of ways. The Department of Education provides grants to state and local education agencies to support the development of character education. Since 1995, through the Partnerships in Character Education Program (www.ed.gov/programs/charactered/index.html), the Department has awarded 97 grants to assist in designing, implementing and sustaining high-quality opportunities for students to learn and understand the importance of strong character in their lives.
Education at its best should expand the mind and build character.

Hawkeyes throttle Ohio State
LUKE MEREDITH
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Brady Ellingson came off the bench to score 17 points and Iowa pounded Ohio State 85-72 on Saturday, snapping a three-game losing streak.
Reserve freshman Ryan Kriener had 14 for the Hawkeyes (12-10, 4-5 Big Ten), who won despite missing senior star Peter Jok -- who sat out to rest a nagging back injury.
Jok, the Big Ten's leading scorer at 21 points a game, had started 56 games in a row for the Hawkeyes. But Iowa played inspired in his absence, jumping ahead by 11 at halftime and getting its first 61 points from underclassmen.
Jae'Sean Tate scored 17 to lead the Buckeyes (13-9, 3-6), who fell to 1-4 on the road after an effort that resembled an 89-66 loss at Wisconsin two weeks ago.
Ohio State, which trailed by as much as 20, let Iowa shoot 50 percent and needed a late run made the final score as close as it was.
Ohio State: So much for those improved Buckeyes. Ohio State, which had won three of four, let Iowa jump all over it in the first half -- and things only got worse from there. At 3-6 in the Big Ten, even a return trip to the NIT might be a stretch at this point.
Iowa: The Hawkeyes have proven they can play well at home, though doing so without Jok was a bit of a surprise. But if Iowa wants to push for an NIT bid -- which would be a positive step for such a young team -- it'll have to steal a few road games over the next few weeks.

RIO DE JANEIRO – August 22, 2016 – NBC Olympics' exclusive and unprecedented coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympics was the most ambitious media event in history, providing more ways to consume more hours of content across more platforms than any Olympics ever…and Rio 2016 dominated the competition.
The networks and digital platforms of NBCUniversal presented an unprecedented 6,755 hours of programming for the Games of the XXXI Olympiad. NBCU presented 2,084 hours of Olympic linear programming across 11 networks: broadcast networks NBC and TELEMUNDO (Spanish language); cable channels Bravo, CNBC, Golf Channel, MSNBC, NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), NBC UNIVERSO (Spanish language), and USA Network; plus two specialty channels, one each for basketball and soccer. Powered by Playmaker Media, NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app live streamed 4,500 total hours — including all Olympic competition for the third consecutive Olympics — for authenticated pay TV subscribers via TV Everywhere to desktops, mobile devices, and tablets, plus connected TVs for the first time. NBC Olympics also provided 4K Ultra HD content to NBCU distribution partners, as well as Virtual Reality (VR) programming, both Olympic firsts.
78% of U.S. TV homes tuned into NBC Olympics' Rio Games coverage – which had a TV-only audience of 198 million viewers, according to national data provided by The Nielsen Company.
NBC Olympics' coverage of the 15 nights of primetime competition (Sat. Aug. 6 – Sat. Aug. 20) registered a Total Audience Delivery average of 27.5 million viewers – ranking Rio 2016 as the second-highest average audience on record for the competition for any non-domestic Summer Games.
NBC Olympics' Total Audience Delivery provided a 7% lift over the NBC-only audience on competition nights (chart below). NBC Olympics' Total Audience Delivery measured broader Rio Olympics consumption by calculating average minute viewing across broadcast, cable, and digital. The 2016 Rio Olympics is the first in U.S. media history with live primetime Olympic coverage on channels other than the primary broadcast network. It is also the first time that the broadcast network coverage, including primetime, has been streamed simultaneously on digital platforms. The NBC-only 17 primetime nights of Rio 2016 averaged 25.4 million viewers with a 14.4/26 household rating.
In the 15 days from the Opening Ceremony through Fri, Aug. 19, the NBC-only average primetime viewership (26.2 million viewers) and household rating (14.8) have respective 249% and 196% advantages over ABC, CBS and FOX combined – the second-largest Games advantage on record (behind only the London Olympics) (full 17-night comparison data will be available on Tuesday).
NBCSN, the home of Team USA, was the 1 sports cable network in primetime over the 14 days it presented live extended primetime Rio 2016 coverage (7 p.m.-midnight ET). From Saturday, Aug. 6 – Friday, Aug. 19, the network averaged 1.32 million viewers for its extended primetime coverage, also accounting for the best 14-day primetime stretch in the network's history.
Golf Channel, which set a record for most live coverage ever for a women's golf event (34.5 hours), posted significant increases for average viewership compared to the same time periods opposite the 2012 London Games: Men's Competition: +881%, 579,000 average viewership, Aug 11-14; Women's Competition: +188%, 274,000 average viewership, Aug 17-20. NBC and Golf Channel both provided coverage of the dramatic closing holes of the men's competition on Sunday, Aug. 14 (1:12-2:49 p.m.). Aside from the final round of the Masters, this ranks as the highest-rated 90-minute window of final round golf coverage in 2016 with a combined 5.6 household rating and 8.8 million average viewers.
Telemundo and NBC UNIVERSO's coverage of the Rio Olympics reached 16.6 million viewers and eight million adults 18-49.
NBC's primetime Rio Olympics broadcast has been primetime television's most-watched show of the night by far every night – marking 118 consecutive nights that an NBC Summer Olympics presentation has topped primetime. NBC's primetime Summer Games has won 134 of 135 nights in People Meter history.
Among Adults 18-49, NBC's 15-night (Opening Ceremony through Fri., Aug. 19) primetime rating in the demographic (7.5) more than quadruples (341% above) the other broadcast networks combined (1.7 on ABC, CBS and FOX) – the largest advantage in the first 15 days of any Olympics on record (full 17-night comparison data will be available on Tuesday).
Reaching the millennial audience, NBC's 15-night (Opening Ceremony through Fri., Aug. 19) primetime rating in the Adults 18-34 demographic (5.5) is five times greater than (400% above) the other broadcast networks combined (1.1 on ABC, CBS and FOX) – the largest advantage in the first 15 days of any Olympics on record (full 17-night comparison data will be available on Tuesday).
NEARLY 5 TIMES as many people in the 18-34 demo watched the Rio Olympics on NBC in primetime than watch primetime TV regularly. Rio Olympics primetime viewership in the Adult 18-34 demo (5.3 rating for all 17 primetime NBC nights) was nearly five times greater (382% higher) than the average of the four broadcast networks (1.1 for NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX) for the 2015-16 TV season.
TODAY was the #1 ranked morning show for both weeks of the Rio Olympics and in the Adult 18-34 demo beat the combined total of its competitors. Viewership in the Adult 18-34 demographic increased 71% from the week prior to the Games.
NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt was the #1 evening news program for both weeks of the Rio Games, with viewership in the Adult 18-34 demo up 86% from the week before the Games.
Access Hollywood viewership during Rio 2016 nearly tripled 18-49 viewership vs. the prior month.
Late local newscasts (Mon-Fri) on NBC affiliates in the 56 metered markets posted a collective 69% increase in household rating over July, and matched the combined delivery of ABC and CBS late local newscasts during the Olympics (August 8 – August 19).
Viewership for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, which followed the Opening Ceremony, jumped 72% from its summer average in the 18-49 demographic, while a special episode of The Voice after the Closing Ceremony was up 238% in the demo from NBC's summer entertainment average in that time slot.
The special Friday, Aug. 19 primetime Superstore averaged 9.7 million viewers – ranking as the most-watched Friday comedy telecast on any network since 2004.
NBC Olympics' live streaming for Rio 2016 established a new standard for event coverage.
Across NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app, there was a record 3.3 Billion total streaming minutes (Live + Full Event Replays + Highlights).
Viewers live streamed 2.71 Billion minutes of Olympic coverage – a new record for event coverage. The 2.71 Billion live minutes nearly doubles the COMBINED live streamed minutes of ALL prior Games (1.48 Billion).
NBC Olympics digital coverage amassed 100 Million unique users – 29% more than the 2012 London Olympics.

Germany extends coronavirus curbs on public life to April 19
Germany will extend its current restrictions on public life to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus by two weeks until April 19, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Wednesday.
"We assessed the situation today and confirmed that the restrictions… will be valid up to and including April 19. We will reassess the situation on the Tuesday after Easter," Merkel said in a telephone conference following a video meeting with regional state premiers.
German authorities on March 22 ordered restaurants shut and banned gatherings of more than two people to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The restrictions were initially slated to last two weeks, but will now be extended until April 19, to coincide with the end of the Easter school holidays.
Certain individual states including Bavaria – Germany's largest by area – had already announced an extension, and others will now follow suit in the coming days.
Merkel noted that the lengthened period of curbs means families may not be able to visit each other during Easter celebrations in Germany.
But she warned that a "pandemic does not recognize holidays."
The government has repeatedly rejected calls to relax the measures in recent days, with Merkel calling on the public to "be patient" in a podcast last weekend.
On Wednesday, the Chancellor reiterated that it was "much too early to think about loosening the restrictions."
"It would be much worse to do it too early, and we are still very far away from what we need to achieve," she said.
She pointed out that the number of infections was still rising sharply in Germany, and said that any reassessment of the measures would be based on the advice of the Robert Koch Institute for public health (RKI), which is leading the country's fight against the virus.

Featuring music from the definitive bird rock artist Dwayne the birdrock Johnson.
Holy poop XD this game. Bullet hell, but you're a bird- its a good twist. Easy to play, hard to beat. Plus, great bass- I, as a human, am all about that bass.
This game is very addictive. I can see putting a lot of time into trying to master it.
Wow, that feeling of turning from a rock into a bird was AWESOME.
Would love for you to check out my game, Tito's Revenge!
Birdrock is the word. Great game, simple and intuitive controls. Awesome stuff. "the definitive bird rock artist..." yeah that made me LOL.
Killed it! One of the top entries for sure. Feels like one of the smash hit mobile games that makes a million bucks.
- The controls felt really intuitive.
- The pace of the action was fun.
First off thanks for reviewing my game. I'm sorry you couldn't get the menu controls to work for you.
Second, this is an awesome game. Good work. I love the original idea and its really fun.
Good stuff!! I got in the groove and played for quite a awhile!!
This bird rocks! :D I flew for minutes in one direction before realizing I went the wrong way. Nice game!
It amazes me how such a simple game idea can be so much fun. Nice work!
Controls felt very good. It was a little confusing at first that the button to transform from a rock to a bird was also the flap button, but I think that was actually the better call. Music was cool, and there's something viscerally satisfying about building up speed as a bird and then turning into a large rock and plummeting into your enemies.
This is fantastic -- it's hard to make a game this quickly that feels like it has a really high skill ceiling and controls that are unique yet masterable. Had a blast playing this, awesome job!!
Was fun. Killed the avocado boss.
