Ben Lomond/Stacks bluff and the rising sun, on the drive up to the north west after working all night.. couldn't have been much nicer.
After a minor scheduling error, this weekend was set aside for a friend who was keen to go on a three day walk with me, but couldn't quite believe that I could have all my weekends 'booked' until September. Having heard nothing for a few weeks, and then receiving a message on Thursday to say said friend was in NSW, I as much as figured the walk was off. That was quite fine, I'd learnt long ago that it's not much fun being stood up on walks if you don't have a back up plan, so I had one of them, and I was rather feeling like walking alone in any case.
My first mountain.. Gnomon (glad I don't have to know how to pronounce these things when I write about them).. a lot of the walking was in this kind of forest.
The weather wasn't so flash.. showery or snow showery in most places, with a bit of wind. The best spot seemed to be the northeast, but I only have three peak bagging peaks left there, and am saving them for a time when there's really no alternative. So instead I chose north, and slightly west, and figured I'd explore some of the peaks south of Penguin.
Car camping (aka sleeping in my car) meant I didn't have to worry so much about the weather, the cold, or trying to get gear (tent) dry for next Friday (when I have to be packed for another 3 dayer), which would have been interesting as I wouldn't have got around to it till Thursday. I was a little bit disappointed I wouldn't be sleeping on the top of anything, and as such unlikely to be seeing the sunsets and rises I love so much about camping, but that was the way things were going to be. I drew in rough plans of attack for about 10 mountains (I don't like running out) and figured I'd do whatever I felt like and had time for.
On the way from Gnomon across the connecting ridge line to Mt Dial.. I finally figured out the macro zoom on my camera!
The day started off a little differently from normal, in to work on Friday at 10pm to discover I'd set one machine to start doing it's thing 24 hours late. That led to an interesting bit of rescheduling, some thinking on my feet, and ultimately a successfully met challenge that made the night a little less routine. We were already down one baker who'd called in sick the night before, but when I left at 6, there wasn't too much left to do. I left under the reassurance that I wouldn't be needed to fill in on the Sunday or Monday.
Needless to say, I got a tad excited about what I could now do..
Driving the first bit in darkness is always hard, my eyes just wanted to close, but as it started to get light it got easier (and an energy drink might have helped). I had my fingers crossed for a view when the sun finally followed its light and popped over the horizon, and I couldn't have timed it much better. Ben Lomond and Stacks Bluff had just appeared out to the right when it did just that. I figured I had time, so pulled over and grabbed the camera, saying hello to the cows on the other side of the fence. They watched as I played, but eventually grew tired and huffy. One decided it was time for me to leave and walked right up to the fence, huffing more purposefully.. the others followed and stood in a line, watching me. So I said goodbye, the sun was well up by now, and laughed as their heads swivelled in unison as they watched me walk down the road and back across to my car. A wave, a few messages as friends wished me well (the realisation that though I was alone, in some ways I wasn't) and off I drove.
The sun had literally and figuratively brightened things a little, as did a hawk hovering over the fields. I never used to spot them, especially when driving. 4 hours after leaving Hobart I was at the Gnomon/Dial carpark, boots on and ready to go. The sign informed me it was an hour return to Gnomon, 2 to Mount Dial. I figured that could be a lot quicker…. or, as it turned out.. a lot slower if you have a new camera and are intent on figuring out how to use the macro setting!
I figured I'd better get on and actually climb another mountain.. so this is from the top of Mt Dial.
The track itself is like a highway, so much so that the bits of tape are irrelevant. It heads through fairly average dry schlerophyll forest, with not much in the way of views until you get to the top, so you can see why I turned to macro photography! Even then, I had to search for things to photograph. At first it was ferns, then later a mushroom or two, and even (and I rarely do this) a flower (there was only one kind out, either in white or pink).
Somewhere between Gnomon and Mt Dial I finally (properly) discovered the macro zoom function. I'd known it was there, but on my point and shoot camera the macro zoom just seems to mean that I don't have to bend down so low to get to something, so I don't use it. I'd thought the same for this one, and was getting highly frustrated that I didn't seem to be able to get close ups of fungi that were in focus. That all changed in an instant, and suddenly I was loving my camera again (not that I didn't before, it was just making me annoyed at my own apparent stupidity and ignorance).
And had to revisit this little one, which I'd tried to get earlier but just couldn't manage to focus on.. this time round it was rather a lot easier!
Progress was naturally much slower than it should have been, and I had to keep telling myself to keep going and stop playing. And so, mostly, I tried to. The summit of Dial was much the same as Gnomon, bits of view out to the sea, or further south towards Roland and Duncan, the latter of which I was to climb next.
On the way back I stopped to rephotograph some fungi that I'd tried to capture before learning about the macro zoom. I was sprawled across the path, off in my own world, when an 'Oh, OH!' interrupted me. I got to my feet, turned around, and found I'd made a 51 yr old local think I'd fallen and knocked myself unconscious! Clearly I wasn't, so we had a short chat about his backyard, and he told me about the circuit he does up around the back of Gnomon, then as fast as he can back down (7mins 20-something seconds is his record).
We went our separate ways, but seeing he'd mentioned it, a challenge had been set. I had my camera round my neck though, and didn't fancy a twisted ankle on the slippery and a little bit steep path, so I didn't quite go 100%, but thought I'd still make ok time. I didn't time it properly, just looked at my phone at the top, which read 12:23, and figured I should be back at the car before 12:30. 12:28 and I was.
That gives an idea of just how short the walk is, and that I took 2.5 hours for both peaks return gives an idea of how much I stopped for photos! I realised that I'd chosen my mountains perfectly, they didn't require any real route finding or challenge in that sense, which meant the day could be about getting to know my camera a little better, rather than about climbing mountains. That they happened to be there was a bonus.
The next mountain, Duncan, could be accessed from the same point, as a 4 hour return walk, but can also be accessed from further down the road, as a 1.5 hour return walk. I opted for the latter. The road, however, deteriorated a little, which at first I was ok with, then uncomfortable but ok as I drove through puddles across the road that I wasn't sure how deep or boggy they might be. I'd seen two 4WDs come through the opposite direction, and was a little bit hesitant as a result, thinking that if they were travelling in pairs maybe this wasn't a road for a lone AWD.
A little while later, a significantly eroded section, with evidence of the two 4WDs having slipped off the line you'd want your wheels on, saw me reversing a few hundred metres (and anyone who knows how much I like reversing knows I don't do that lightly) until I got to a slightly wider section of road and could do an 8 point turn. I found a wider and less boggy spot further back and parked as far to one side as I could, hoping if anyone came through they'd get past.
And so I walked the road for a bit, grateful for the chance to photograph new fern shoots which I otherwise wouldn't have seen, and some smaller than pin head sized mushrooms whose stems were dotted with water drops (which almost worked, but I didn't quite hold the camera still enough). It wasn't long before I was at the track, which was much like the tracks up Gnomon and Dial. Towards the top the forest became a little wetter, which I prefer, and once on top, there were two highish points to explore. I went to the eastern, non high point, first, to look back at the solar installation on top of the real high point, and spotted a wedge tailed eagle hovering perfectly in one spot, with no effort at all and barely a movement of wing.
A little bit more of an explore, and back down I went. I figured I'd have time to climb one more mountain, but as I walked I was increasingly entertaining the thought of a walk on the beach instead. By the time I was in my car and driving, I'd as good as decided on it. Unfortunately the two closest beaches I found weren't quite as good as beaches can be, but it was still nice to hear the sound of the ocean, and walk on the sand. I sat and looked at some photos while waiting for the sun to set, and then went back to taking a few more (of the sun, a ship on the horizon, of birds).
When the last glow was gone, I thought I'd head off to somewhere near the next mountain I'd climb. Driving along the coast I rounded a corner and just had to stop again and take a photo of the moon sitting low on the horizon. Later, as it got a bit darker, the moonlight left a shimmering white path out across the water.
Parked near Riana, which I didn't think had a track up it and looked rather scrubby, I fell asleep under bright moonlight. I woke (properly) at 5.30, to the sound of something howling, maybe at the moon? I guessed it was the dog at the property you pretty much drove straight through (literally, there's all sorts of bits and pieces – junk – hard up against either side of the road). I was awake now, and not tired enough to get more sleep, so I got out the computer and started typing some notes, waiting for it to grow lighter.
As it did, and I took note of the thickish scrub and the fact that it was cold and everything was damp, I decided to be a chicken (I had 10 mountains to choose from after all) and not go with a wet scrub bash first thing on a chilly morning. I also wanted more of a chance to play with my camera, which is a bit harder to do in scrub.
Feeling a little less like trespassing now! But not sure about the 'lookout' part.
So it was as simple as starting the car and driving 10 or 15 minutes to the start of a dirt bike/horse riding/bush walking track up to Mt Lorymer lookout, enjoying the pinks and blues sitting over green fields. To be honest, I'm not sure why they bother with the 'lookout' part of the Mt Lorymer track! Not once do you get uninterrupted views of anything..
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I parked the car at a gate, which wasn't locked but did have a PRIVATE PROPERTY sign on it. That confused me, because the track was marked on the Dial Range map as a route, so I figured it was open to the public. For some reason I felt better about walking rather than driving somewhere maybe I shouldn't be, but I did discover that the road is generally in good enough nick if you did want to drive. There's just a tree high across it right near the high point.
Anyway, a short distance into the road walk I came across the same kind of signs that were at the Mt Dial end of things, advising that it was a track, for the three activities mentioned above, so I felt a little less like a trespasser. A few messages to the waking world in different parts of the state, then plenty of enjoying the soft yellow glow of early morning sun on glimpses of distant hills, and later more closely on the gums that lined the sides of the road. I did like those trees. I also liked the water drops on the ends of ferns, the breeze slight enough to move the ferns without dislodging their 'tears'.
The unimpressive summit of Lorymer.. which at first took me a moment to twig that that's what it was!
As I went to capture the moment I discovered my camera battery flashing low, which I wasn't too happy with, but figured that just meant I had to be careful about what I took photos of. Back to the walking for a little bit and a slightly more open view south revealed what looked to be snow laden clouds over hidden mountains, and I was a little bit grateful to have made the choice to stay out of it. The sun and blue sky were rather nice, and my fingers were cold enough as it was. Funnily enough an email came through on my phone informing me of Peter Grant's latest blog on snow (part 2), which I thoroughly enjoyed reading (and he's right, I have favourable memories of some of those tougher challenging walks through snow), but again, on this weekend, was a little glad I wasn't in it. It can be easy to forget what you have, and only want more.
As I approached the flatish summit of Lorymer I began looking out for a suitable spot to duck the short distance left to the high point, which was just off the road. I almost walked straight past it, but somehow something made me spot, and register, a cairn made of white rocks, tucked off the side of the road, under the shelter of ferns. I looked twice, it didn't seem to be marking anything. Then a haunch, and I examined the base of the ferns lining the road, and there looked to be a slight gap to the right of the cairn. Sure enough, parting of the fronds revealed something akin to an animal pad. It was more than I expected, so I took it.
Loyetea in the distance.. promising a view!
I followed it a short distance, was sure I must have lost it after scrambling over a collection of fallen trees that almost resembled a mass grave (I didn't know so many trees could fall in the one spot, and I felt perhaps like an ant on two legs might if it was crawling over pick up sticks). But I was wrong, I discovered, when I found a piece of pink tape as I bashed my way through more ferns.. Funny place for that.. But several metres ahead there was another piece in a tree, even if I still couldn't see much evidence of a pad!
Loyetea trig and view.. Housetop perhaps?
In this manner, and following my gps I happened across some more tape, along side a decent sized cairn. Again I was puzzled, why put a cairn here? And then I realised that this must be the poor excuse of a summit, even if it seemed to be in a slight depression. It was within the few metres error on my GPS, though to make sure I wandered round in circles a little just to check none of the other possible rises nearby were it (the problem was, the rises were just piled up fallen trees with ferns covering them, and so they weren't actually indicative of higher ground per se – rather of a longer way to fall if you slipped off the slippery branches you were trying to balance on and walk across!). This got me completely confused as to which direction I was facing by the end, everything looked the same, and I was most grateful to have the gps to set me back in the right direction.
And slightly further north.. some more than upsetting logging history here it seems.
Back on the road I pondered the next mountain to explore, as a blue (?fairy) wren caught my attention. I thought about going back to Riana, but decided the guy who owned the house might really start to wonder what I was up to, so made the choice to head to Loyetea instead. I had read that there was actually a nice view across Gunns Plains from this one, and I was ready for some of that!
Housetop GPS route.. check bushwalk.com for directions, they are spot on!
So a little more driving, and another house in a similar state to pass through – all the bits and pieces that had been collected over time were rather fascinating: a life-size head sitting on a pile of gravel, a rooster weather vane not even in a position to be serving its true purpose, a score or more of rusted up cars, or car bodies… And plenty more. I wished I had the guts to take a photo, but I didn't really want to invade someone's privacy any more than I had, and by the time I came back down there was smoke coming out of the chimney of the shack-style house.
Immediately after passing this property the road forked, and I started to drive up the left hand branch, but at a widening followed instinct and pulled over to the side, deciding I'd walk this one instead. It wasn't far, and I doubted the road would hold up. It proved to be a wise choice, as the road became quite eroded fairly quickly. A 4WD would do most of it, if you avoided the odd major crevasse that would leave even a high clearance vehicle stranded.
The higher northern point.. not much of a view!
At the end of the road a rocky mass was apparent through the trees and I smiled, I always like a little scramble at the end, even if the rest of the walk is road. I followed a manmade pad, which took me up to the trig and concrete pillar thingy. Finally I had views! Of yesterday's mountains, of mountains further to my west which I was likely to be climbing but still didn't have a clue which was which, and of the rain in the south, being blown in my direction as I watched.
I hoped that Housetop, my next mountain of choice, was not so far south that it was going to be under by the time I got there! I figured there was no point wasting time waiting to see, so down I went, enjoying the sound of the wind doing more than just rustling the leaves on trees, which creaked and groaned in an attempt to make their complaints heard above it. It very much had the feel of a wintery day, that for the moment at least, had a little bit of cold sun to cheer it up. The threat of change was ever present though.
And some closer stuff.. next to try is playing with aperture settings for more depth of field..
Back at the car, I headed off to Housetop, another exercise in hoping that the roads travelled on would hold up. I had directions from bushwalk.com, for which I was very glad! The road proved decent, then quite ok if a little soft and slushy, then a little rougher but not at all eroded and back to being firm.
I found the cairn and tape marking the start of the track up easily enough and had a lovely walk through much wetter, and therefore greener, forest than the other walks. Near the top the tapes led south to a cairn and nice views (of a rainbow in my case!). Of course, I had to be sure about the summit, and it did look higher further north, even if it's hard to tell with so many trees around. So I retraced my steps and then went off track further north. Sure enough, I found a small cairn marking the true summit, 6m higher than the southern one, according to my GPS. The views left a little to be desired though, so a visit to both points was well worth it.
The real reason for the road closure.. and no evidence of a road on the other side anymore.. scratch that idea for today!
On the steep slippery climb back down, which I was careful to keep a climb, and not a slide (though I know a few people who would have had much fun doing so), I did pause to lie down in the middle of the path and take a few more fungi shots. But light drizzle kept me moving relatively fast, and I was back at the car before I got too wet (from the rain that is, I did discover that lying on wet, slushy ground for photos makes you quite a fair bit damp, and dirty!).
St Valentines Peak GPS route.. the longer way (4 hrs return as opposed to 1).. or 2.20 if you want to move fast ;)!
It was still early, not really lunch time yet, so I thought I had time for a shot at Everett, which was a short drive away. I had no info for this one, had just selected roads and a possible track from the map on my GPS that seemed to go close enough. I might have a short scrub bash near the top. 3-4 hrs should do it.
Right. Or not! Finding the road to turn down was easy enough. It was a little disconcerting that it was signed 'Road Closed' in exactly the same format as the name signs for the other roads. A little too permanent, a little too old. I thought I'd eat some lunch while I waited for the rain shower to pass, and decide what to do. I figured seeing I was here, I might as well see why the road was closed, and worst case scenario, I'd probably have time to walk a few extra road kilometres that I'd anticipated.
The submerged log across the river.. it was only after crossing it that I realised my head torch was back in the car.. whoops.. let the challenge begin!
A short distance along what seemed an ok road, if a little muddy and cut up due to what looked like recentish logging activity, was followed by a backtrack as I realised I wasn't actually on the road I wanted. Right, maybe that answered my question of why the road was closed. Parked in the turn off, which is why I'd walked straight by, was a vehicle. It turned out to be a mining exploration/driller thing of sorts (so I'd been wrong with my logging guess, I suppose).
A little while later.. more signs of warning.. I laughed out loud at them, and then tripped up the first step!
No worries, I continued along the road on foot, and wondered if there was a good reason why the road was suspiciously green and grassy, though in good enough nick to drive down, had the machine thing not been parked there. But presently I discovered the real reason.. A big bridge, well and truly out. Any hint of what once must have been a road on the other side was gone, the trees were equally thick all the way up and down the bank.. I had no time for a scrub bash on what I had thought was road, so I figured I'd leave Everett for another time and go in from the other side. By now, I doubted I'd have the time for that. As I drove back out, four black and yellow cockatoos flew alongside me for a moment, as if to see me off (so I pretended).
Nice forest to walk through on the way up to St Valentines.
Maybe St Valentines would do instead? A 1 hr easy walk, I vaguely remembered from a glance at the Abels a few days prior. But that would require driving to the right start point!! I followed a track I'd drawn into my GPS before checking the Abels, which came in from the north. I must have chosen it because it was a much shorter drive from where I was coming, which would make the return drive shorter too. I didn't realise my mistake till I got there and read the sign which said 4 hrs return, and I hazily recalled seeing the map in the Abels as coming in from the south!! A quick check confirmed that. Pigheaded, I figured I'd do it anyway, now that I was here, and walk out in the dark.
Then out of the forest and onto the ridge line.. lots of fun running across this! But oh the number of false summits in the mist, when you're racing time!!
So off I went at 2.30, moving at a decent speed. I ran into three youngish people who I think were putting on socks and shoes after crossing a flooded log across the river on their return from the peak, though I gave them little more than a hello and a glance. I didn't stop to think and went straight across.. Completely missing the log book, which I later found in the shelter where they were sitting. They must have thought I was nuts, starting so late and not signing the book, especially in light of all the signed warnings… Little did they know..
Finally, a helipad, and I know I'm close!
The summit.. 1:15 hrs after having started out.
So there began my little challenge.. Could I get up and back in 2.5ish hrs, which is about as much daylight as I reckoned I could count on? Yes, it was darker in the forest, but the moon would be out and full, but maybe it'd be too cloudy for much light to come through, and how long would it take for it to rise high enough to cast light on me? And how much should I take into consideration that the walk was most clearly (the clearest I've ever seen) signed difficult, exposed, for experienced walkers only, and not to be attempted alone (or how much was that Gunns covering their arses?). There was a sign to that effect part way through the walk, as well as one at the start of the walk, and I laughed as I read the second one, then promptly fell up the first step!! Idiot ;)!
Anyway, I arrogantly thought I'd give it a good crack. My pace increased, I was soon drenched, and not just from the overgrown scrub and, later, wind blown mist. But I was more focused, more aware, alert and in the moment than I had been any other time during the day. Up I went. In spots it was hard, and my legs wanted to stop or I couldn't get enough air, whichever it was that took priority was interestingly related to the level of incline (and I wondered if you could mathematically model that.. the things you do to keep your mind busy!). But there was no slacking off to be had.
Finally, I was out of the myrtle forest and on top. I thought this meant less up, easier going. Though instead the slippery steepness had been exchanged for biting wind that cooled the sweat on my face just a bit too fast, and more false summits than I've ever had! But there was rock, one very fun ridge line, and eventually, after yet another misty bump climbed, a helipad on the next one, which because of the angle and elevation, I at first mistook for a shelter of some kind! The next bump over, the trig!! Over I went, took a photo of one of the many plaques, noticed a little bit of snow remaining on the ground, tucked my camera away for the run down, and back I went. It was 3:45.
And some lenticular clouds on the way out.. time to go 'home'..
With some of the pressure off (I'd made good time on the way up) I was free to enjoy. So I ran across the exposed ridge lines, throwing caution to the wind, arms out in an expression of the slightly crazed freedom and wildness I was feeling, matching the weather brilliantly, wet and weighted strands of hair that had escaped blowing across my face, laughing out loud, because that was how I felt. The best I'd felt all weekend. Slightly mad maybe.. Meh!
It was over too fast and then I was running down through the forest. Not at maximum speed, it was steep and rather slippery underfoot, but as fast as I could trust each step, preferring to aim for bits of jutting out rock over the mushy forest debris, jumping over fallen trees, ducking under branches, taking the most delight when there was a quick succession of obstacles: jump, duck, twist and a sharp turn :)! I got a bit bored as it flattened out and the track 'improved', and took more to walking than running. Instead I responded to a few messages, pondered driving back home that night, then made the wade back across the river. A stop for some fungi on the side of a tree was a must, and I was pleased my camera still had some life in it.

JNN 30 Dec 2015 BAGHDAD — Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Monday hailed the liberation of the city of Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's western province of Anbar, from the Islamic State (IS) Terrorist group and pledged to liberate the northern city of Mosul.
"I confirm to you (Iraqis) and the whole world that if not we were acting carefully to protect the safety of the families besieged in Ramadi, we would have completed the liberation before this date a long time ago," Abadi said in his speech broadcast by the state-run Iraqiya channel.
The IS terrorists "have booby-trapped schools, mosques, hospitals, streets and everything to impede the arrival of the brave (soldiers), still it (IS) failed and defeated after the killing of hundreds of its criminals and terrorists," Abadi said.
Earlier in the day, an Iraqi military statement declared key victory on the IS group in Ramadi.
The troops "have retook control of Ramadi after liberating its district one by one, and raised the Iraqi flag on the government complex," the military statement said.
A provincial security source told Xinhua that after capturing the government complex, the troops continued their fighting against IS terrorists in some pockets inside the city, while explosive experts are defusing a large number of landmines and booby-trapped vehicles and buildings.
Last Tuesday, Iraq's Joint Operations Command announced that the security forces launched a major offensive in Ramadi and managed to seize the districts of al-Bakr, Dhubbat and Aramel, in southwestern part of the city after fierce clashes with IS affiliates.
The security forces have recently made significant advance in Ta'mim district in southern Ramadi and several areas on the edges of the city, as part of their efforts to wipe out IS elements from Ramadi.
The troops have been fighting for months to retake key cities and towns in Anbar, Iraq's largest province, from IS terrorists who have seized most of Anbar and tried to advance towards Baghdad.

Frequently Asked Questions of the Department.
Hawaii Department of Education > Vision For Success > School Data and Reports > Student Privacy
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that gives parents certain protections with regard to their children's education records, such as report cards, transcripts, disciplinary records, contact and family information, and class schedules. As a parent, you have the right to review your child's education records and to request changes under limited circumstances.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Each year, Hawaii public schools are required to notify parents of their rights under FERPA. These rights are generally broken into four sections. Here is a brief description of FERPA rights:
The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the request.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the parent, guardian, or eligible student believe are inaccurate or misleading.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
The Quick Guide to Student Information Privacy provides a condensed version of the more detailed parent notification and guide. Translations are available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
Chapter 34, Hawaii Administrative Rules
Chapter 34 provides for the following rights relating to the educational records of students:
Parents may inspect, review, challenge or obtain copies thereof; allow others to review them; and grant permission for their release.
The rights of parents shall be transferred to the student who has attained eighteen years of age.
Students under 18 years of age shall have the right to receive all educational data pertinent to facilitate instruction, guidance, and counseling.
Download the Consent for Release of Information form. The Consent for Release of Information is available to authorize the release or receipt of specific document(s)/information.
Directory Information
FERPA requires that the Department, with certain exceptions, obtain parent, guardian, or eligible student's consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the student's education records. However, the Department may disclose appropriately designated "Directory Information" without written consent unless the parent, guardian, or eligible student requested the Department to the contrary in writing, (i.e. "Opt Out"). The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the Department to include this type of information from the student's education records in certain school publications. Examples include, but are not limited to:
A playbill, showing the student's role in a drama production;
The annual yearbook;
Honor roll or other recognition lists;
Graduation programs, and
Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing weight and height of team members.
The Directory Information notice is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
Photos, video and audio recordings, and student work products/publications are not considered Directory Information, and may include Personally Identifiable Information (PII) protected under FERPA. Also, student teachers participating in educator preparation programs and staff in professional development courses within the Department may have access to photos, video and audio recordings, and student work samples in the course of their participation in these activities, and therefore would need parent/guardian/eligible student consent to have access to these materials. This consent is given via the following forms:
Student Publication/Audio/Video Release Form (RS 21-0480): Required to cover all school events and publications unless rescinded.
Student PAV Release Form for Events: Optional to allow consent for a specific school event or publication for the school year.
Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)
The federal PPRA affords parents certain rights regarding our conduct of surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams.
The PPRA is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
Release of Information to military recruiters
The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act requires the Department to provide to military recruiters, upon their request, the name, address and telephone number (including unlisted number) of secondary school students. Although military recruiters focus their efforts on high school juniors and seniors, the law allows for the gathering of this information from the broad category of "secondary" students, defined as students in grades 7 through 12. If any secondary student or the parent/guardian of a secondary student does not want the Department to provide the requested information to military recruiters, the secondary student or the parent/guardian must "opt out" of providing such information.
The military recruiters notice form is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
The military recruiters opt-out form is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
Institutions of Higher Learning information release
The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) requires all local education agencies, including the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE), to provide to institutions of higher education, upon their request, the name, address, and telephone number of secondary school students. Although post-secondary institutions schools focus their efforts on high school juniors and seniors, the law allows for the gathering of this information from secondary students. If any eligible student (18 years of age) or the parent/guardian of a secondary student does not want the DOE to provide the requested information to institutions of higher education, the secondary student or the parent/guardian must "opt out" of providing such information.
The institutions of higher learning notice form is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
The institutions of higher learning opt-out form is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.
Technology Responsible Use
The Department is committed to guide students in the use of technology as a tool to support their achievement. Parents/guardians should review the guidelines with their child; then sign the form to constitute an understanding and an agreement to abide by all rules, regulations, and guidelines relating to Department-owned or leased digital devices, network, and internet services, which may be modified or expanded as needed by the Department.
The Technology Responsible Use Guidelines (TRUG) is also available in Cebuano (Visayan), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Chuukese, Hawaiian, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan, and Vietnamese.

Flooding reminds politicians that there are two sides to the climate change coin
Energy & Climate Change, Flooding, Natural Environment
Terry Fuller, CIWEM Chief Executive
Every time there is major flooding the common and understandable cry is that defences should have been better, warnings should have come sooner, emergency response should've been quicker, or access to insurance should be better.
Flooding can be very complex, and the truth is, solutions are rarely this simple. Floods can be caused by a range of things: storms coinciding with high tides in coastal areas; prolonged rain causing rivers to burst their banks; saturated ground causing groundwater flooding or short, very local but intense storms causing flash flooding almost anywhere.
Because of this, a wide range of Risk Management Agencies – not just the Environment Agency – have responsibility for managing flood risk.
It's those front-line agencies who are subject to judgment during major events and then centre of the inevitable political debate that follows. This almost always focuses on funding, with annual government expenditure the prime focus. Expenditure on flood risk management in England has increased over the past 15 years, despite suffering through austerity-driven reductions, it rose after major flood events, and now fluctuates at around £800m per year.
When the General Election was called for December, commentators said darkness and weather could play a real factor in campaigns, and so it has. The recent flooding in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire prompted differing responses from party leaders but the two main opposition parties quickly pledged to increase spending on flood risk management to £1bn or more a year.
It's unlikely to be coincidental that this sum is the average annual level of investment the Environment Agency identified as necessary to keep flood risk no higher than current levels for the next 50 years.
Is maintaining current levels of risk what the public really wants though? Responses to flood events tend to call for higher levels of protection in the future, not the same. And the Met Office have said that climate change has made the succession of winter storms that wrought flooding havoc across the country in 2013/14 seven times more likely to occur.
Can we achieve better despite climate change? Almost certainly yes, but only if we elevate climate adaptation and resilience to the same profile as decarbonisation, invest more and sharpen a whole range of policies and spending rules so they can target flooding across all its complex causes.
Assurances made on the campaign trail that any climate change factor of recent flooding is being tackled through the Net Zero emissions targets now enshrined in law miss the point. There are two very different sides to the climate change coin. One – decarbonisation – is the focus of growing political attention. The other – adaptation – has tended to pique political interest when major flooding or heatwaves occur, before rapidly receding with the waters or temperature. This must change.
Declarations of climate emergencies by a huge range of public and private bodies over the past year illustrate the growing concern across society. But whatever we achieve as a nation on decarbonisation, we still rely on other countries doing similar to stand a chance of staying within manageable levels of climate change – about 1.5oC as proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Even in the most optimistic of scenarios we are still locked into an amount of climate change well above what we have experienced so far, as a result of historical emissions.
Many measures to adapt to climate change and increase our resilience can deliver other important benefits that have been neglected and under-invested in over recent decades, and are vital to building a prosperous, healthy, productive nation. Not only helping to restore our wildlife, provide improved access to green space, which is widely understood to benefit mental health and physical wellbeing, but also cleaning up polluted air and removing carbon from the atmosphere.
Going back to flooding, there is a growing appreciation that just building higher conventional defences isn't enough or indeed desirable. They will always play a critical role in the range of different measures needed to manage flood risk but other measures well outside the immediate control of bodies like the Environment Agency must come into play.
Government planning policies must drive the integration of semi-natural features which soak up and store flood water at the surface but out of harm's way. So called sustainable drainage systems – planted 'rain gardens' in streets, green roofs or temporary ponds in communal open spaces – can store rainwater in urban areas so that it doesn't either cause local flash flooding or flow too quickly into drains then rivers, raising flood risk to people downstream. And they can clean air, reduce the impact of heatwaves and improve the look of our urban places to boot.
Elsewhere farmers can be encouraged and financially supported to manage their land in a way which will help lower carbon emissions, recover wildlife and reduce flood risk. Extensive tree planting and managing land for temporary flood storage, driven through a forward-thinking new replacement to the European Common Agricultural Policy subsidy regime would improve our landscape, whilst delivering necessary carbon reduction and improved biodiversity.
So, pledges of £1 billion a year are very encouraging. Flooding by definition never comes at a good time, but its occurrence in a general election campaign could achieve increases in investment that would otherwise not necessarily be seen, and ultimately benefit those communities affected this time, as well as others at risk.
But £1bn isn't enough. Other funding streams and areas of government policy need to focus more intently on climate adaptation to add considerable extra value to flood protection budgets. We also need longer-term certainty attached to budgets so that the organisations who use them can plan properly and deliver defences and other measures most efficiently. It's not necessarily always about more, but better.
Terry Fuller is Chief Executive of CIWEM and has 30 years' experience in flood and coastal risk management.

When the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program was established in 2012, federal agencies were already in the early phases of adopting the White House's pivotal "Cloud First" strategy.
As its name suggests, cloud first required federal agencies to determine if there was a cloud-based solution for any application or system they wanted to incorporate into their enterprise.
While the creators of CDM knew that cloud computing would be a consideration, they could not envision how the cloud would ultimately alter how government agencies store, deliver and consume information. Under cloud first, security was seen as a unique concern to cloud-related projects, rather than an integral part of an agency's overall cyber security strategy.
That, of course, has changed. As federal agencies continue to turn to the cloud, they have discovered the cost, productivity, and strategic advantages that it offers. In doing so, however, agencies have fundamentally changed the way their information technology architectures operate.
Now, applications and platforms, even those that were once siloed, find themselves either living in the cloud or connected, in some way, to a cloud service. This paradigm shift alters how agencies must implement technologies and policies as they move forward with the CDM program.
With the cloud now a core part of federal architectures, technology improvements to meet the continuous monitoring and reporting goals of CDM must be done with that in mind. Before this shift, agencies could focus on their largely walled off networks.
Cloud and mobile have extended this network outside of the agency to wherever data resides. As a result, agencies must now ensure that their monitoring systems follow that data. Agencies need to consider end-to-end data loss prevention (DLP) technologies that can protect the data whether it is on-premise, in the cloud, or somewhere in between.
Using an overall DLP approach not only helps meet the guidelines laid out in CDM, it serves as the preferred method of cyber defense in a cloud-connected world.
CDM was established long before the cloud became what the cloud is today. As such, federal agencies need to consider the implications of today's environments. The overall goals of CDM are positive and fit in line with the top thinking around cyber security. As the cloud continues to become a bigger part of the technology ecosystem, federal agencies need to ensure they have the right security technologies in place to protect data at every stage.


If you are starting a new business in this economy, here's a major secret: strive for good enough. Aiming for making everything perfect before you launch is a form of self and business sabotage.
What? How can that be true, you ask?
Striving for perfection can be a mask for avoiding feelings of fear and doubt. As a psychotherapist for 18+ years, I can guarantee you that you can survive those feelings, and they may even be educational and enlightening for you. They're just uncomfortable, but that's okay. You can survive a little discomfort if you're open to feedback from your SMART* plan.
But you won't survive falling into compulsive habits of fixing one more thing, and just one more, and just this last thing, if what is driving you is a fear-fantasy that you must reach some magical level of readiness or knowledge or product line. This fear-fantasy actually robs you of the focus and energy and self-confidence needed to critically evaluate how well you do in the first 3-9 months, and where / how to adjust to do meet the wants of your market niche.
Worse, that fear-fantasy gets projected onto your clients. They will feel your anxiety, and will begin to doubt you more than you doubt yourself, creating a downward spiral of poor self-confidence that kills your client attractability. You don't have to explain or give excuses for what you aren't doing yet, or for what isn't ready (as in "perfect") yet. Just fully (emotionally) own what you are offering in the moment.
Here's the recipe for solopreneur success: Start small, do SMART things, and be good enough.
*SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Aligned, Risk, and Timebound. In referring to your business plans and marketing efforts, be specific about your ideal client, make your goals measurable, ensure that your efforts are aligned with your vision and personality, risk reasonable resources and emotions, and have clear deadlines for launching and timelines for evaluating how well things are working before tinkering with the initial efforts.
Good enough is good enough, folks. Perfection is a mental illness.

Former Central Dauphin East great and Marshall quarterback Michael Payton has died after a bout with cancer, according to multiple reports. He was 48.
Payton won the 1992 Walter Payton Award, which is given to the best player in Division I-AA (now known as FCS), after piloting the Thundering Herd to their first-ever I-AA national championship that season. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, the Marshall Athletics Hall of Fame, and the Pa. Sports Hall of Fame.
"He went home to be with the Lord and reunited with our Mom," David Payton," Michael's brother, told the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick also released a statement on his Twitter account:
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Thundering Herd great Michael Payton. An All-American and a member of the Marshall Athletics and College Football Halls of Fame, his loss will he felt by so many."
According to the Football Foundation:
"The Harrisburg, Pa., native was active in DARE and the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and he was a senior staff counselor at Alternative Rehabilitation Communities in Pennsylvania. He also served as a personal trainer and life coach. Payton was also a voter in the FWAA-NFF Super 16 Poll in recent years."

Q: Cannot invalidate in loops? I have following code:
for(int I=0;I<10;I++)
{
 graphics.DrawImage(image, i*20,50);
 invalidate();
}

But it redrawns just after the loop. Why?
EDIT: I am making simple movement and wants to update after each step.

A: Because Invalidate does not repaint immediately, it just tells that a repaint is needed. When the method is completed, and the program is idle again, the repaint will be performed.
The quick and dirty solution is to add Application.DoEvents() after the Invalidate call, but I would suggest rewriting the logic to use a timer or something similar instead of using the loop to animate.

A: Because it's in a tight loop it won't actually process the redrawing until after the loop has finished. You can force it to process the redrawing message though by adding Application.DoEvents() just after the invalidate like so:
for(int I=0;I<10;I++)
{
    graphics.DrawImage(image, i*20,50);
    invalidate();
    Application.DoEvents();
}

Q: Google Charts API - Dashboard: Hide rows in table I am trying to create a dashboard with the Google Charts API.
The dashboard includes a ControlWrapper with the type ChartRangeFilter and two ChartWrapper (LineChart and Table). This setup is working fine, but I want to add one addition.
The LineChart shall show the whole dataset, the Table only a part of it.
For example I have 10 rows and in the Table only the first 8 should be shown.
This is my current ControlWrapper:
control = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
 'controlType': 'ChartRangeFilter',
 'containerId': 'control',
 'options': {
   'filterColumnIndex': 0,
   'ui': {
     'chartType': 'LineChart',
     'chartOptions': {
       'chartArea': {'width': '95%'},
       'hAxis': {'baselineColor': 'none'}
     },
     'chartView': {
       'columns': [0,1]
     },
     'minRangeSize': 86400000
   }
 }
});

And this the Table:
chart = new google.visualization.ChartWrapper({
 'chartType': 'Table',
 'containerId': 'table',
 'options': {
        width: 470,
        height: 340,
        sortColumn: 0,
        sortAscending: false
 },
 'view': {
   'columns': [0, 1]
   //,'rows': [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
 }
});

When I uncomment the row "//,'rows': [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]" in the table definition I get an error when I move the slider of the ControlWrapper:
Invalid row index 6. Should be in the range [0-5]

Is there a way to get this working?
The reason is that (in this example) in the last two rows are only data in column 3 which is only shown in the LineChart but not in the table.
Thanks in advance!
//edit:
Here is an example page:
http://circlecount.com/test.chart.range.php
Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd">

What I want to get:
- a Chart over the complete period (10 days)
- a Table only over the first 7 days
- a ControlWrapper over the complete period (10 days), controlling the chart and the table
I hope that makes my issue more clear. If not, please give me a note.
Thanks in advance!
Update:
With the ideas of jmac I got it working with the following function:
google.visualization.events.addListener(control, 'statechange',
  function(event) {
    if (control.getState()["range"]["end"] > myLastRealDate) {
      var myRowsArr = new Array();
      var myTempDate = control.getState()["range"]["start"];
      for (var i=0;i<myLastRealRow-(myDateArr[(myTempDate.getMonth()+1)+"/"+myTempDate.getDate()+"/"+myTempDate.getFullYear()]);i++) {
        myRowsArr.push(i);
      }
      chart.setView({'rows': myRowsArr});
    }
    else {
      chart.setView({'rows': null});
    }
  });

You can find a working example here: http://circlecount.com/test.chart.range.php

A: The problem can be solved with the following function:
google.visualization.events.addListener(control, 'statechange',
  function(event) {
    if (control.getState()["range"]["end"] > myLastRealDate) {
      var myRowsArr = new Array();
      var myTempDate = control.getState()["range"]["start"];
      for (var i=0;i<myLastRealRow-(myDateArr[(myTempDate.getMonth()+1)+"/"+myTempDate.getDate()+"/"+myTempDate.getFullYear()]);i++) {
        myRowsArr.push(i);
      }
      chart.setView({'rows': myRowsArr});
    }
    else {
      chart.setView({'rows': null});
    }
  }
);

The number of the row has to get saved in an array per date, for example:
myDateArr['11/7/2011'] = 0;

The row and the date of the "break" has also to get saved in variables:
myLastRealDate = new Date('11/14/2011');
myLastRealRow = 7;

Here is a working example:
http://circlecount.com/test.chart.range.php

A: The issue you are running in to is that your table is setting a fixed number of rows while the selector can reduce the data table below that number of items.
One way to fix this would be to change the options, specifically ui.minRangeSize to be greater than 7 (the number of rows you want to show in the chart). That would make your code for the control:
control = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
 'controlType': 'ChartRangeFilter',
 'containerId': 'control',
 'options': {
   'filterColumnIndex': 0,
   'ui': {
     'chartType': 'LineChart',
     'chartOptions': {
       'chartArea': {'width': '95%'},
       'hAxis': {'baselineColor': 'none'}
     },
     'chartView': {
       'columns': [0,1]
     },
     'minRangeSize': 604800000
   }
 }
});

This prevents the error from occurring by stopping the range of the selector to go below 7 days.
If that isn't good enough for your application, you will have to do something tricky like this jsfiddle by asgallant. This method is rather confusing, but basically what it is doing is drawing a hidden table off the screen, using a change event (when you filter the chart) to determine what data is in the table, and create a new datatable from that filtered data.
You can then use the new sub-dataset to filter in any way you'd like.
Another option would be to change your rows filter on the the table from rows: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] to a variable number of rows depending on the number of rows in the underlying table. So you could check the state of the slider (see documentation here) and create a dynamic array of rows based on how many rows are in the table (max 7).
All things considered, it is probably easiest to limit the range of the slider, as that will cause the least headaches.

Marquam Hill is a populated hill located just south of Downtown Portland, Oregon, United States in the Homestead neighborhood. It is also called Pill Hill because it is home to Oregon Health & Science University, Portland VA Medical Center and Shriners Children's Portland.

Marquam Hill was named for Philip A. Marquam. It is classed by the United States Geological Survey as a populated place and not as a hill. It is part of the Tualatin Mountains, along with nearby Council Crest and Portland Heights.

Report: Tyler Lee Hires Southlake Carroll Offensive Coordinator Clayton George As New Football Coach
Current Red Raiders sophomore quarterback Chance Amie could be the biggest beneficiary of Tyler Lee's head coaching hire. The district is expected to hire Southlake Carroll offensive coordinator Clayton George.
Tyler Lee's days as an offensive juggernaut don't appear to be numbered.
The Tyler Independent School District hired Southlake Carroll offensive coordinator Clayton George as its next head coach Monday. The news was first reported by The Tyler Morning Telegraph's Lee beat reporter Chris Parry.
George, who replaces former head coach Darrell Piske, is expected to join the Red Raiders football team after a five-year stint with one of the state's best programs year in and year out. He also has college experience, serving as a North Texas assistant coach under Todd Dodge between 2007 and 2010.
Southlake Carroll wrapped up its 2015 season with a 9-3 record and an area round appearance in the Class 6A Division II playoff bracket.
The Lee job won't be George's first as a head coach. He served as Dallas Hillcrest's program head from 2004 through 2006 and then worked as Haltom City's leader for the 2006 season prior to moving to college ball.
George helped guide Hillcrest to back-to-back playoff appearances during his two years in Dallas. That program had missed the playoffs the preceeding 10 seasons.
Before his higher-ranking high school jobs and term at North Texas, George served under Dodge at Southlake Carroll between 2000 and 2003.
George coached several standout quarterbacks at Southlake Carroll. Among the notable signal callers that worked under him were Chase Daniel, Greg McElroy, Riley Dodge and Kenny Hill.
Daniel is currently a quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.
McElroy won a national championship at Alabama, played for the New York Jets and is now a football media personality.
Riley Dodge played for his father and George at North Texas and is now a college football coach.
Hill briefly started for Texas A&M last season. He'll be on TCU's active roster for the 2016 season after transferring.
Lee has a good quarterback of its own coming up behind Preseason ETSN.fm Super Team signal caller Zach Hall. It's current sophomore Chance Amie.
Hall missed three and a half games with a knee injury. Amie put up similar numbers on the ground and through the air in his relief starts.
Amie guided the team to a 1-2 record and the offense never scored less than 48 points in any of its 10 games.
Defense was another matter. Lee averaged 49.1 points against per game, which held the team down to a 5-5 record and three-way tie for third place within District 11-6A.
The Red Raiders missed the postseason on a tiebreaker and the district announced the reassignment of Piske four days later.
Lee, which was East Texas' single Class 6A team this season, is expected to get more company from the region in the University Interscholastic League's realignment process. John Tyler and Longview have a history of playing in the same district as Lee and both of those schools are expected to be bumped up from Class 5A to Class 6A.
The UIL's football districts for the 2016 and 2017 seasons will be announced on Feb. 1.

So I'm just back from a nice little pedal down to Hoults Yard in Newcastle to see how the first artist in this years series of the White Walls Project was getting along. And the answer is: he's smashing it! as you can see from the pictures below. Pixel Pancho is going to be in residence all this week working on his wall and some canvases (which I'm looking forward to seeing too), so I'll post some images of the finished piece at the weekend.
