Peter Balakian and Aram Arkun to Present "The Ruins of Ani: From Sacred Landscape to Political Soil"
Siranush Ghazanchyan Send an email February 4, 2020, 09:56
Massis Post – The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) will host a presentation by Dr. Peter Balakian and Aram Arkun entitled "The Ruins of Ani: From Sacred Landscape to Political Soil," on Thursday, February 27, 2020 in Belmont, MA. The program is co-sponsored by the Tekeyan Cultural Association Boston Chapter and the NAASR/Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Lecture Series on Contemporary Armenian Issues.
From the tenth to the thirteenth centuries, the city of Ani was the jewel of the Armenian kingdom, renowned far and wide for its magnificent buildings. By the fifteenth century, Ani was virtually abandoned, its stunning buildings left to crumble. Yet its ruins have remained a symbol of cultural accomplishment that looms large in the Armenian imagination.
Today, Ani is a popular tourist site in Turkey, but the city has been falsified in its presentation by the Turkish government in order to erase Armenian history in the wake of the Armenian Genocide. Krikor Balakian's The Ruins of Ani, first published in Armenian in 1910 as Nkaragrut'iwn Anii aweraknerun and now available in English, is a unique combination of history, art criticism, and travel memoir. This timely publication and program raise important questions about the preservation of major historic monuments in the face of post atrocity campaigns of cultural erasure. Balakian and Arkun served as editor and translator, respectively, of The Ruins of Ani (Rutgers Univ. Press).
Dr. Peter Balakian is the Donald M. and Constance H. Rebar Professor of the Humanities in the department of English at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. He is the author of many books, including The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response, winner of the Raphael Lemkin Prize; Black Dog of Fate, winner of the PEN/Albrand Award for Memoir; and Ozone Journal, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Aram Arkun is the Tekeyan Cultural Association of the United States and Canada and assistant editor at the Armenian Mirror-Spectator. He is the author of numerous academic articles and book chapters and translations, and has served as Director of the Zohrab Center in New York City and as editor of Ararat Quarterly.

Last Christmas, a couple of weeks before, I went to the Post Office and was standing on-line to mail my Christmas cards and some other things. While I was there I saw this Christmas stocking made of clay on the table, and on it said " letters to Santa", I was like in my mind saying HMM!, interesting. So as I was waiting to get to the counter I started thinking about what actually happens to the letters that the kids write to Santa. Well, I finally got to the counter and he checked my mail, then I ask him about that stocking for the Santa letters, and what happens to the letters that the kids write to Santa, and the Postman said " they send them to the North Pole (Canada) where they try to answer the letters, at least the ones that they can and the post office also answers the letters to which children have asked for little things, like a coat for their mother, and they would put together some money to buy that coat that child had asked for his mother. So, I said " that's pretty cool, they really do that", and he said " yes". I said " I was always told they throw the letters out", and he said, " No they send them to the North Pole in Canada and that's where they answer them, or we try to answer them". I said "I think that's really great, I never really knew that, thank you for telling me that". And I left.
After I finished the letter, I went and dropped it off in the Santa stocking, and that was the end of that. Weeks go by, going about my business as usual. Until the day before Christmas when I went to the mailbox after getting home and in the mail box were about six pieces of mail and on top was a letter from the United States Post Office (North Pole) I stood there and looked at that letter in awe and amazement, and was like wow. I can't believe this and when I went in the house, it was actually the first letter I opened, and in the envelope was an entrance exam opening for a job. So I read the letter and the deadline said that it was December 22nd, so I immediately looked for the number and called. When I spoke to the girl, I explained to her exactly how I came upon this test information for this entrance exam, and she couldn't believe it she said " are you serious, so cool". I said " yes I know it is, isn't it". So I said the reason I was calling is because the deadline says December 22nd and I just received it today. She said to me " that the deadline was wrong that it was supposed to be the 29th, so I asked her if she would be in on Monday, if I could fill out the application, she said " I could do it online or I could come in and fill it out. So I told her I'd come in on Monday she said okay, be here at 9 AM. I said" thank you".
So now the weekend goes by, Christmas goes by, and Monday comes in, and of course we have all this snow, so not only did I have to push my way out of the house this morning, but I also had to dig my way out of the driveway or drive my way out of the driveway. Anyway I ended up on making it there about 9:30 and got the application filed and it all worked out.
Just a note:I had to share this because I thought it was really cute. I Know I would've shared it last year, but never got around to it.
I wish for me to be able to STOP SMOKING?

In this courtroom sketch Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, center, sits next to his defense attorney Eduardo Balazero, left, for opening statements as Guzman's high-security trial got underway in the Brooklyn borough of New York on Nov. 13, 2018.
Mexico's former top security chief and another law enforcement official who once worked under the country's new president-elect took millions of dollars in bribes from the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel in the mid-2000s, a witness testified Tuesday at the U.S. trial of kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
During cross-examination, Zambada claimed he personally made at least $6 million in hidden payments to the former federal security chief, Genaro Garcia Luna, on behalf of his older brother, cartel boss Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. He said the cash was delivered in briefcases at a restaurant in 2005 and 2006.
The witness also said a separate bribe of "a few million dollars" was made in 2005 to Gabriel Regino, who worked in the administration of current President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador when he was mayor of Mexico City.
There was no immediate response on Tuesday from Garcia Luna. Regino, now a private lawyer and law professor, wrote on Twitter, "I categorically deny these accusations."
Jurors in federal court in Brooklyn also heard testimony on Tuesday from U.S. agents about how they intercepted cocaine-stashed jalapeno cans and more than $1 million in drug proceeds hidden in the paneling of a Ford Bronco used by Guzman's brother. The trial is off the rest of the week and is to resume Monday.
His lawyers, saying he was either in prison or in hiding when prosecutors allege he oversaw a cartel that sent tons of cocaine into the U.S., have sought to portray Ismael Zambada as the actual boss. The elder Zambada remains on the loose in Mexico, they claim, because of bribes that "go up to the very top," including hundreds of millions of dollars paid to the current and former presidents of Mexico.

In 2005, the US Postal Service inadvertently started a design battle between Europe and the Americas with the launch of their Masterworks of Modern Architecture series. The next year, the Dutch released the very first animated stamp. This was followed by Canada's recognition-by-stamp of all their most famous designers, which was blatantly copied by the UK when they did the exact same thing earlier this year. In the interim, the US had fired back with a beautiful Eames retrospective in 2008. Now, with our Postal Service preparing to issue its standard fare of cowboys, butterflies, and comic strip characters, England has fired another powerful salvo with a collection of stamps featuring iconic British album covers. The Royal Mail collaborated with London's Studio Dempsey in creating the ten stamps, which include such classics as Blur's Parklife and Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones, are set to be released this Thursday. The incredibly-British sounding paper, the Watton and Swaffham Times, has this great piece on Terry Pastor, who designed the cover for David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, which has also found its way onto the stamp collection. And now that the UK currently has the upper-hand in this design-y war, who will be the next to answer? May god have mercy on us all.

Q: What kind of case can I omit? The following code works well, I often find some sample code to omit, so I change my code as
<service android:name=".MyInternetServer"></service>

but I get an error "The service can't be found".
I guess the package="com.example.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver" and
<service android:name="com.code4reference.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver.MyInternetServer"></service>,

maybe it should be use full name, right?
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.code4reference.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver.EnableDisableBroadcastReceiver"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_enable_disable_boradcast_receiver" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <!-- Broadcast receiver -->
        <receiver android:name="com.code4reference.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver.AlarmManagerBroadcastReceiver" >
            <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

        <service android:name="com.code4reference.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver.MyInternetServer"></service>
    </application>

</manifest>

A: The shorthand "dot" notation in the Manifest file works as described in the documentation:

However, as a shorthand, if the first character of the string is a
  period, the string is appended to the application's package name (as
  specified by the <manifest> element's package attribute).

So in your case, using:
.MyInternetServer

...is shorthand for:
com.example.enabledisablebroadcastreceiver.MyInternetServer

as that's what's in your <manifest>'s package attribute.
I'm guessing you probably want to update your manifest's package attribute to match the package you're actually using for your project.

A: Yes give your service a full path, where its actually located with full package name and then check, it will work.

Michael Grandage's new production of Shakespeare's funniest play, starring Sheridan Smith and David Walliams, is marred by the latter's Bottom, says Charles Spencer.
By Charles Spencer 18 September 2013 • 12:01am

If only one Shakespeare play could be saved from oblivion my hand would move first to Hamlet, but if there was time to save a second for posterity I would reach for A Midsummer Night's Dream.
It is not only the funniest of Shakespeare's plays, it also the most original, magically interweaving four worlds: the aristocrats in Athens; the rude mechanicals preparing their play; the young lovers; and the fairy kingdom of the warring Titania and Oberon. It is one of the few works in the canon in which the plot seems to have sprung entirely from Shakespeare's own imagination rather than being at least partly based on other sources.
Michael Grandage is a great Shakespearean director and his productions of Twelfth Night and King Lear glow vividly in my memory.
So I entered this fourth production in his ambitious season of plays at the Noël Coward with high hopes, only to emerge feeling more than a little disappointed.
It's not often that you will hear a theatre critic complaining that a show is too short, but this Dream is performed at such a terrific lick that you wonder whether Grandage and his company have a train to catch.
He gets through the play in a mere two hours and twenty minutes, including an interval, partly though cuts to the text but also by pacing the show exceptionally fast. At times it feels almost perfunctory, not least in the performance of "Pyramus and Thisbe" which normally provides the play with a blissfully funny climax but here seems both rushed and curiously lacking in comic invention.
Much of the problem, here and elsewhere, stems from David Walliams's Bottom. He has always struck me as a curiously chilly comedian whereas Bottom the weaver should be all warmth, bluster and heart. Not here he isn't. Sporting an auburn-hued, kiss-curled wig, his Bottom is outrageously camp, and we are led to conclude that he and Peter Quince are an item.
There is a touch of both Frankie Howerd and Benny Hill to Walliams's performance but there is also something about his smarmy, supercilious demeanour that repels delighted mirth. At times we might be watching an episode of the crude and overrated Little Britain rather than one of the greatest comedies in the English language.
Though the formal court scene at the start seems to be set in the 1930s, when the lovers enter the Athenian wood they find themselves in a trippy Sixties wonderland. There are blasts of rock and rave music, Oberon and Puck share a joint, and Sheridan Smith's beguiling Titania resembles a prettier version of Janis Joplin with her wild hair, feather boa and flashing thighs. This works well.
The lovers too, are splendidly played, stripped to their gleaming white scanties as they rush confusedly around the forest, with an especially funny and touching performance from Katherine Kingsley as Helena who thinks the other three are all ganging up on her.
Christopher Oram's designs are also memorable creating a sense of mystery and allure, with a vast full moon dominating the back of the stage.
But it is hard to warm to A Midsummer Night's Dream with a Bottom who gives you the willies.

The Australian Government continues to progress the redesign of export certification and biosecurity cost recovery arrangements with industry and stakeholders.
Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce, said the government was delivering on its commitment to reduce red tape and implement fairer, more equitable funding arrangements for users of the export certification and biosecurity systems.
"It is important that our exporters and importers pay a reasonable price that recovers the real cost of the services they receive from government however it is also important that fees and charges are both efficient and transparent," Minister Joyce said.
"At the same time we need to make sure our biosecurity and export certification systems remain world leading as Australia's $53 billion agricultural sector relies on it.
"Last year, I asked export sectors in particular to work with the Department of Agriculture through the existing government-industry consultative committees to review export fees and charges. I wanted to explore how we could best address having charges that do not unfairly discriminate against new or small exporters.
The department has been consulting with government-industry consultative committees about the redesign of the cost recovery arrangements since mid-last year. In the coming months, the department will seek broader stakeholder feedback on the redesign that has been worked through with these committees.
"We continue to listen to industry and work with clients, government-industry consultative committees and peak bodies.
"This engagement will continue as we design appropriate fees and charges that underpin each of the arrangements," Minister Joyce said.
Further information on draft cost recovery implementation statements, including proposed fees and charges, will be published on the department's website in July 2015. Information will also be available on how interested stakeholders can provide feedback and attend information forums that will held by the department at this time.


What Are The Limits Of Cryptocurrencies?
The first of the limits to put forward on cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin Private Wallet Electrum) is that relating to the possession of security keys that allow for each to secure all of its transactions. Very practical, these keys are however the only way to spend the cryptocurrency that we have. Thus, if a user comes to lose his private key or if a virus manages to steal these codes, the financial impact could be important for a user.
In addition, transactions take some time to be verified by minors. Thus, the current transaction rate is of the order of 7 transactions per second where that of the VISA network for example is capable of rising to 20,000 transactions per second.
One of the most shared criticisms, and against which it is difficult to go, is that relating to the energy consumption of all cryptocurrency. All the computers that run to secure the various transactions must indeed be powered by a large amount of electricity, not to mention that necessary to cool the entire rooms encryption. To accurately evaluate this point, it would be interesting to compare, with equivalent transaction volumes, the energy consumption of the current system centralized around banking institutions and that of a cryptocurrency.
Finally, one of the important limits of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin Private Wallet Electrum) remains their volatility. Indeed, the number of users still relatively small, the price of a cryptocurrency can have very large price variations depending on the confidence of the holders of the currency and the appetence of new owners. For example, the Bitcoin course has moved over the last 4 months of 2017 from $ 5,000 per Bitcoin to over $ 16,000 in December 2017.
For now, the financial sector as a whole is still on the subject of cryptocurrencies. If the impact of the blockchain mechanism begins to resonate within different financial institutions, few today imagine a short-term revolution in the financial model.
On the other hand, a few initiatives bear witness to the interest of the financial sector for these new currencies. For example, Crédit Agricole will test the Ripple currency for six months to pay the salaries of French clients working in Switzerland. Moreover, undoubtedly alerted by the extraordinary performance achieved on cryptocurrency trading, Goldman Sachs has clearly indicated that it wants to take into account these assets in their financial management.
Many questions exist and put the development of these alternative currencies on hold. Among the most important questions, one is central: the very foundation of cryptocurrencies to keep all transactions, the process of mining transactions becomes more complex. Thus, this essentially decentralized currency risks being centralized by the concentration of minors who must today develop a very important computing power to secure transactions.
While it is always possible to change the currency to reboot the mining, however, in use, this way of operating may be problematic for the user.
Moreover, the stake around the currency is obviously political. By design, cryptocurrencies escape any kind of control of states that no longer have referents identified as banking institutions to manage the creation and circulation of money. How far can cryptocurrencies get rid of states? This is the central question to which nobody today really has an answer.
Finally, with the increase in transaction-related paperwork, the issue of consumed energy and dedicated storage space will quickly become central to these currencies. Failure to respond to this, the economic models of minors, for example, may quickly become complicated with a risk of hindering development.

2018 in Review: Best Episodes, Saddest Cancellation, Guiltiest Pleasures, Worst Sendoff, Underrated Actors and More
By Team TVLine / December 13 2018, 6:00 AM PST
Courtesy of Fox, Syfy, FX, NBC and The CW
It's time for TVLine's Year in Review to get down to the nitty-gritty.
Thus far this month, we've recognized a whole slew of television's highlights and lowlights from 2018, including the most devastating character deaths, the sexiest scenes and even the moments we wish we'd never seen.
But there are still dozens of series, stars and scenes that merit mention in our year-end retrospective… for better or worse. In Part 1 of our "round-up awards," you'll find more than 50 (very specific) honors that we've bestowed upon the year's small-screen efforts, from the most underrated performers to the individual episodes that left us awestruck.

Doctor, Musician and Activist Rupa Marya Offers a Healing Balm on New April Fishes Album

For many Bay Area musicians, holding down a day job is a necessary, unglamorous concession to a challenging economic reality rarely mentioned on stage.
But instead of compartmentalizing her various callings, Rupa Marya increasingly finds that her identities as a musician, physician, activist, parent and life partner overlap and converge. Whether protesting at Standing Rock, writing music with her band, Rupa and the April Fishes, or teaching hospital medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, Marya's diagnosis of society's ills and her vision for healing guides her approach. Her new album, Growing Upward, Rupa and the April Fishes' sixth release, is by far her fiercest yet.
Compared to previous albums, Growing Upward focuses less on showcasing the band's stylistic diversity, pushing emotional parameters instead. Marya's guitar work and vocals sound urgent and aggressive, yet tenderly inviting. Her music rocks harder, throwing down a gauntlet at the frontlines where the fight against climate change and indigenous rights merge with the struggle for police accountability.
"This music is coming directly out of being there with people at Standing Rock as the police shot rubber bullets into their faces and groins, from watching families torn up because their unarmed child has been shot by the SFPD," says Marya, who celebrates the release of Growing Upward (due out April 19) at The Chapel in San Francisco on April 26 on a double bill with Barrio Manouche, a band she's championed since they first came together in Berkeley about five years ago. She also performs May 26 at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz on a double bill with LoCura.
Marya's music draws on a wide array of cultural traditions, and her multifarious Fishes include some of the region's most inventive players, including violinist Matthew Szemela, cellist Misha Khalikulov, trumpeter Mario Alberto Silva, bassist-for-all-situations Daniel Fabricant, drummer Aaron Kierbel, and renegade sound designer JHNO (a.k.a. John Eichenseer).
Since the release of Marya's debut album eXtraOrdinary Rendition (Cumbancha) in 2008, her music has reflected her political commitments. When she emerged on the Mission District scene as a world-cabaret troubadour, her playfully polyglot repertoire featured her original songs in French, Spanish, English and Hindi. The fact that many listeners didn't understand the lyrics didn't give the band pause.
"Our initial sound was whimsical, circus-pirate music that reflected what was happening on Mission scene at the time," says drummer Aaron Kierbel, the only original Fish still in the band. "Our whole name, April Fishes, coming from the French holiday, embraced the character of the holy fool who transmits wisdom through humor and play."
Rather than relegating her healing practice to her job at UC San Francisco, Marya says, "I see how important it is to take it out of the hospital into places I usually bring my guitar: into the street. My work is about zooming out to see where the pathology is, where the hurting is, so that we can move forward. I've never felt so embracing of my whole identity before."

Marya has rarely shied away from taking risks on and off the bandstand. She was the lead plaintiff in the legal case that led to the song "Happy Birthday" entering the public domain in 2016, an effort for which she could have incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees had Warner/Chappell prevailed in keeping the ubiquitous ditty under copyright. Now available free to anyone who wants to include the song on an album, film or broadcast, "Happy Birthday" opened the door for other ubiquitous songs to enter the public domain (Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" is next in the queue).
Over the past decade Marya has become one of the Bay Area's most visible activists on a number of progressive fronts, particularly police violence and racism in the medical system (a Now This video of her speaking at a conference on race and medicine has been viewed more than 12 million times on Facebook).
On Growing Upward, Marya's lyrics are now almost entirely in English, and the messages are poetic but blunt, whether she's decrying the enduring legacy of colonization in "Stolen Lands" or painting a picture of environmental degradation on the title track, singing, "They clouded up your mind with rent and debt / They suffocate with a petrochemical net." It might sound bleak, but the song is a stirring call to action, and its central theme is set to a hip–hop-inflected beat.
"There's always an element of wanting to leave people energized to go out and do the good work," says Kierbel, who's also a founding member of Cosa Nostra Strings, a Jazz Mafia spin off. "The music has matured a lot and it takes a lot of courage to evolve your sound, not doing the same thing that you know works. People ask for certain songs, and we don't do them anymore. She really believes in where she's going and I trust her artistic vision."
The emotional immediacy of Marya's music doesn't just reflect her experiences traveling the world as an activist and musician. The most profound change in recent years came on the home front with her husband, organic farmer Benjamin Fahrer, and the birth of their two sons. The act of creation seemed to open up the creative floodgates while raising the stakes for fighting for a better world.
"Becoming a mother between the last album and this one made me focus even more on the importance of what's happening right now," Marya says. "My son's coming of age is coinciding with climate catastrophe, and we're watching it happen. We had three weeks last fall when we couldn't breathe.
She continues, "This album is a chance to elevate our perspective and look clearly to what's hurting." And maybe dance together while strategizing for the future.

Conservative media accuses ChatGPT of being woke and bias
The Conservative media has begun to campaign against ChatGPT for bias and for being woke.
Nate Hochman, a National Review staff writer, said he tried to get OpenAI's chatbot to tell him stories about Biden's corruption or the horrors of drag queens. It did, however, refuse to explain why the drag queen story hour is bad for kids, claiming that doing so would be "harmful." When the words "bad" were changed to "good," it launched into a lengthy story about a drag queen named Glitter who taught children the importance of inclusion.
"The developers of ChatGPT set themselves the task of designing a universal system: one that (broadly) works everywhere for everyone. And what they're discovering, along with every other AI developer, is that this is impossible," Os Keyes, a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington's Department of Human Centred Design & Engineering told Motherboard.
Conservatives on Twitter also tried different inputs into ChatGPT to see how "woke" the chatbot is. ChatGPT, according to these users, would tell people a joke about a man but not a woman, flagged gender-related content, and refused to answer questions about Mohammed. To them, this demonstrated that AI has "woken up" and is biased against right-wingers.
This is not the first moral panic involving ChatGPT, nor will it be the last. People have expressed concern that it will herald the end of the college essay or usher in a new era of academic cheating. This is because like all machines, it reflects the inputs it receives, both from the people who built it and from those who prod it to spout what they see as woke talking points.

We have developed and implemented a class schedule that allows students to train as often as they would like as well as focus in on the areas that they need. The schedule allows students to know what curriculum they will be working on week by week and throughout the month. This schedule has proven to not only be much more convenient, but also to ensure students' success as well. Our curriculum is broad, covering distance, close, standing and ground fighting, but even with the large scope of knowledge and skills.
This depends on many factors having to do with which program you choose to train in or the period of time. There are also other factors that may affect a student's tuition rate. Because of these variables, it's recommended to contact the academy where you can discuss the programs and have an exact cost of training quoted. Another plus to coming in is the opportunity to check out our facility that remains a cut above any other in the area.

With Confederate name stripped, classes start at renamed Virginia high school
Debbie Truong
A mascot was chosen and a new signs were printed. The gym floor logo, marquees and placards were stripped or replaced in recent months. Fresh band and cheerleader uniforms had arrived. And, on Tuesday, high school students in Falls Church finally walked into a newly renamed school.
Cheerleaders raised pompoms in the air and band members played a fight song, marking the first day at Justice High School - formerly known as J.E.B. Stuart High School - and the start of the school year in Fairfax County, Virginia.
They were among the tens of thousands of public schoolchildren across northern Virginia who returned to school this week and the several thousand more who are scheduled to begin after Labor Day.
But for Julia Clark, a senior at Justice who was part of the effort to rename the Falls Church high school, the first day assumed more significance.
Debate:The future of Staunton's R.E. Lee High School
Column:Let's move forward, not follow those pining for Confederate memories
The school was renamed in October, following a drawn out, contentious debate that divided community members and alumni. Those who supported a new name argued the school should no longer be named after Stuart, a Confederate general who fought to preserve slavery. Opponents decried the effort as a costly attempt to rewrite history.
Clark, a descendant of slaves, said imagery of Stuart in the school's weight room and hallways made her feel ashamed.
"Students of color are placed in places where they feel discomfort at a constant rate, and a lot of times these students of color are told to disregard that discomfort - don't rock the boat, don't make a difference," said Clark, 17. "That my community is responsible for making a true difference . . . makes me really proud."
In January, students chose wolves as the school's mascot to replace the raiders. School officials estimate it will cost about $428,000 to replace fixtures, equipment and clothing with a new name and logo. Donors have contributed about $91,000, said Debbie Ratliff, a Justice parent who has helped fundraise to help offset the cost.
Students in Fairfax, Virginia's largest school system, began school before Labor Day for the second consecutive year, bypassing a state requirement known as the Kings Dominion law that prevents school from starting before the holiday.
The school system, which has more than 190,000 students, qualified for a waiver because it closed schools for weather an average of eight days in five of the past 10 school years.
Also, this is the first year the state will rate schools based on a new accreditation system approved by state's Board of Education in November. Under the previous system, schools were accredited based almost entirely on pass rates on the Standards of Learning tests.
Schools will now also be assessed on standards including overall proficiency and growth in English, math and science. Ratings will also take into account absenteeism and, for high schools, drop out rates and college or career readiness.
Accreditation ratings are expected to be released in September.


Exploring next-generation sequence data requires an iterative process whereby a researcher can find a "needle in the haystack" that contributes to a particular disease or other phenotype. Once that needle has been found, a workflow can be established for analyzing other samples or to create a repeatable, time-effective process for clinical usage.
Yet, repeating a workflow that involves several different quality control, filtering, and analysis steps is burdensome and error-prone.
To solve this problem, we introduce custom workflow automation in SVS, which allows you to collapse dozens of steps into a few run-specific options. This click-and-go process saves an exponential amount of time while eliminating the inevitable user error that happens with tedious repetition and ensures that the exact same protocol is followed with each run, a critical requirement for use in the clinic.
